Season chronology

The fourth and final season[1] of the American Improvisational comedy television series Web Therapy premiered on October 22, 2014, and concluded on January 28, 2015, on Showtime.[2][3] The series stars Lisa Kudrow as Fiona Wallice, a therapist who has conceived of a new form of therapy: the titular "web therapy". This season contains the webisodes from seasons five and six of the web series.

Plot

Following the events of season three, Web Therapy has been shut down by Putsy. Gareth and Fiona are still talking and when Gareth and Putsy's marriage goes sour, he gets Web Therapy back up and running, but can't communicate with her any more. Fiona contacts Jerome, who is swimming in cash from baby Angus' 30 million dollar inheritance. While expenses for the New York penthouse are piling up, Fiona tries to get Jerome to pay the bills but learns that he can only make baby-related purchases with the thirty million, so Fiona suggests that Jerome and Angus spend a night in the penthouse so he can cover the costs. Jerome winds up spending one night and won't pay the bills.

Kip and Fiona are at a better place in their relationship, although they have not consummated their remarriage. Kip is hoping to get on the supreme court (with Putsy's help) and winds up falling in love with his assistant April, and they say that they will marry once Kip gets the seat on the supreme court.

Jerome, Haley, and Gina are living together. With construction being a constant nuisance to Fiona, she is horrified to learn that she is going to be surrounded as they have purchased both homes next to her and Haley wants to build horse stables. Fiona gives Jerome news that Haley is pregnant with a baby that is not his, which diminishes the plans of the construction project. Gina is starting a business of sex toys (wanting to have Fiona as the spokesperson) and sexually harasses Jerome, leaving him to need Fiona's help, so they send her to a sex addiction rehab facility in Nevada.

Richard and Robin are living in Montana under the names Jacques and Betsy. Richard has become a biker and opened a dance studio. Because of fracking in the area, the water has become polluted leading to Robin having amnesia. It is revealed that Robin had really been playing Jacques to get out of the witness protection program, leading to Richard being alone again.

Fiona also does therapy with a rageful meditation teacher, a lottery winner, a head-mistress who needs Fiona's help with her impending marriage, a phone sex operator for older women, Austin's brother, and Fiona's next-door neighbor.

After discovering the NSA has hacked her computer and watched her sessions, Fiona is able to get them to stop, but when every session is accidentally released, Fiona becomes one of the most hated women in America. Jenny Bologna, a Boston-based fixer, is able to tone down the hatred towards Fiona, and begins to reveal that Fiona is her sister, and that Jenny is Putsy's daughter. After getting DNA samples from herself, Fiona, and Putsy, Jenny reveals that Jenny is Putsy's daughter and Fiona is not Putsy's daughter. Fiona is thrilled with the news and her joy is put over the top when Austen calls, saying he is rich again and wants to marry Fiona.
