Tim's grandmother passes away and looking for Kate to comfort him he only finds Lee, who awkwardly does his best. On the behest of Kate Lee goes to see a psychiatrist to help him get more in touch with his feelings, which reveals his feelings towards Kate. Tim invites Kate to the funeral and hits on her.
