Christopher is taking an acting class. Adriana signed him up for it. It was a gift from her. The title of the class is Acting for Writers. He struggles with it.

The next time he works with the same scene partner he attacks the guy. The episode ends with him throwing out all the scripts he had written. I thought, at first, that he felt inspired to write something new but considering the note that it ends on I think I might be wrong about that.
