The Cupboard of Patrick's Love

Coupling Episode Review

In which Patrick has a cupboard.

What Happened

Jane turns up on Patrick's doorstep. She's decided that's it time for her and Patrick to get to know each other better. As they talk, Jane discovers that Patrick has a cupboard full of videotapes of all the women he's slept with. Steve is less interested in the fact that Jane offered to star in his latest production than with the news that Patrick still has a copy of Susan's tape. Steve insists that he wants to see the tape of Susan.

Jane, meanwhile, tells Susan and Sally what happened. While Sally is upset that she's missed her chance to be immortalized in the Cupboard of Patrick's Love, Susan is horrified that Patrick kept the tape. She admits that she may be faking her orgasms differently these days. Worried that Steve may notice the techniques she uses to encourage him in the right direction, she goes over to Patrick's place. Despite Patrick's best efforts, she finds Steve - and Jeff - are watching the tape.

"How long have you been watching this tape?" she asks. "And you didn't notice that's not me?"

In the end, however, Susan gives Steve one more chance. She comes over to his place one night and demands he propose, even if he doesn't know what her answer will be. Then, she reveals that she's not wearing anything under her coat.

There's only one way Steve knows this is real and not a dream: Jeff is on the floor next to the bed.
