Being Erica: Season 1 - 3 recap

Being Erica is a Canadian show that Soapnet brought to USA in 2009. Seasons 1 - 3 were on Soapnet, but season 4 was only in Canada. I have to say I had been dying to see it and it finally came out on DVD this week and I am excited to watch. Let's recap Season 1 - 3 first, shall we?

Season 1

Erica Strange (Erin Kapluk) is 32, single, dead end jobs and miserable. She has great best friends, a great family (except for the death of her brother Leo) and is gorgeous, smart and funny. She has one bad date after another, has an allergic reaction to hazelnut latte's and winds up in the hospital. Her parents think she tried to kill herself. She meets therapist Dr. Tom, except he's a time travel therapist. He brings her back in time to redo moments or regrets as he calls them. She gets a new job at River Rock publishing, and falls in love with her best friend Ethan, who is recently divorced. In the end of the season she goes back to Leo's death and stops it, but Dr. Tom makes her pay. He leaves her as her therapist.


Season 2

New therapist Dr. Nadiah (who is Tom's therapist) takes over and Erica doesn't like it. Dr. Tom comes back. She is together with Ethan now. She also meets a coffee barrista named Kai, who apparently is a patient too. She feels an automatic bond with him. She goes back to his future, where he came from and learns he is stuck there doing a regret he wont leave. She kisses him. We learn that Dr. Tom had a daughter Sarah who he is estranged from. He treats Erica like she was his daughter. Kai goes back to the future and she breaks it off with Ethan, since they are not right for each other. She also gets fired from River rock and her and Julianne start a new company.


Season 3

Erica has moved on to phase 2 which is called group therapy. She is in a group session with other time travelers, including hot Irish guy Adam. Kai comes back and tells her that she is in trouble in the future. They end up sleeping together and her and Adam start a relationship. She breaks her friendship off with Jenny after it being toxic. She has to go through training to be a doctor, which is phase 3. She almost fails, but passes, but Adam fails. Her sister Sam divorces Josh and falls in love with janitor Lennon. Her publishing company gets saved by old frenemy Brent.
