Charlie Outs A Patient is the eighth episode of the first season of the sitcom Anger Management. The show revolves around an unconventional therapist named Charlie Goodson, played by Charlie Sheen, who specializes in anger management and uses unorthodox methods to help his patients. In this episode, Charlie is faced with a dilemma when he discovers that one of his patients has been lying to him about their identity.

The episode begins with Charlie attending a therapy session with his patient, Nolan. However, Charlie soon discovers through a chance encounter that Nolan is not who he claims to be. Nolan is actually a famous former baseball player who has been living in hiding since the revelation of his steroid abuse scandal. Despite Charlie's attempts to convince Nolan to come out of hiding and face his mistakes, Nolan refuses. Charlie feels conflicted about this situation, as he is bound by ethical standards to keep his patient's identity confidential. However, he is also aware of the harm that Nolan is causing by not facing his problems.

Meanwhile, Charlie's own anger management issues are put to the test when he receives a visit from his ex-wife, Jennifer. Jennifer has come to ask for Charlie's help in dealing with her anger issues. Charlie reluctantly agrees, but soon realizes that he may be in over his head when Jennifer's anger proves to be more explosive than he imagined.

As the episode progresses, Charlie finds himself struggling to balance his loyalty to his patients with his own sense of morality. He confides in his friend and colleague, Kate, played by actress Selma Blair, about his predicament. Together, they come up with a plan to help Nolan face his demons, while also protecting his identity.

In the end, Charlie decides to take a bold stance and outs Nolan to the public, despite the potential consequences. In doing so, he helps Nolan to finally face his past and begin the healing process. The episode ends on a bittersweet note, as Charlie finds himself facing the repercussions of his decision, while also coming to terms with his own flaws and shortcomings.
