The story

Spoilers ahead. Coverage follows the scope labeled below.

Plot summary

Bonnie keeps coming up with weird hobbies to take place in the upstairs bedroom, and with some help from Adam and therapist Trevor (who exchanges a little friendly banter with Jill) she comes to terms with her focus on the room being a reminder that Christy isn't coming back. Elsewhere, Tammy goes to Al-Anon at Adam's suggestion when Marjorie becomes impossible to live with, and the women later resolve their differences. Title meaning: Adam using a metaphor for avoiding conflict with Bonnie, and Trevor's olfactory reaction to a paper-mache lampshade Bonnie made for him.
