In season 1 episode 2 of Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist, titled "Pretzelkins," we see Dr. Katz dealing with a range of unusual patients. The episode kicks off with Dr. Katz's first patient, whom he suspects is using therapy as a way to avoid doing actual work.

As the episode progresses, we meet more of Dr. Katz's patients, including a woman who feels guilty about having too much fun, a man who is convinced that he is "no good" at relationships, and a woman who is struggling to come to terms with her own mortality.

Despite the heavy subject matter, the show is peppered with moments of humor and levity. In one particularly funny scene, Dr. Katz's son Ben interrupts the therapy session to offer his dad some cookies, which he refers to as "pretzelkins." The joke becomes a running gag throughout the episode, with other characters making reference to the "pretzelkins" and even Dr. Katz himself indulging in a snack at one point.

Overall, "Pretzelkins" is a strong episode that showcases the show's unique blend of heartfelt drama and wry humor. While some of the patient's issues are more serious than others, the show never feels heavy-handed or preachy. Instead, it presents a variety of relatable, human problems with a light touch and a sense of compassion.

With its distinctive animation style and talented voice cast, Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist remains a standout show that is well worth revisiting. Whether you're a fan of the show or new to the series, "Pretzelkins" is a great place to start.
