Episode 1.8 - Much Ado About Ben

When Susan finds Viagra, she wonders why Nick has it. Later though, Ben gets ill and has to go to the hospital where he's told he has hypertension... but not before he admits to taking the Viagra.

Also, Susan allows her yoga teacher to hold the classes in their house, Nick gives Ben mouth-to-mouth when he thinks he's having a heart attack, and Brigitte is being her usual annoying self at the surgery.
