Cupid: My Fair Masseuse
In a riff on George Bernard Shaw's
Pygmalion (the original play upon which the musical
My Fair Lady was based), Trevor sets out to retrain a "lower class" massage therapist to make her more acceptable for the family of her "upper class" ex-boyfriend by connecting her with a dialogue coach to disguise her history. Also, Claire thinks she's onto a clue to Trevor's actual past, but is it a faux lead?
