The Big C season 1 episode 3 entitled "There's No C In Team" is a heartwarming yet emotional episode that delves into the concept of teamwork, friendship, and support. The episode starts with Cathy (Laura Linney) struggling to come to terms with her cancer diagnosis while juggling her responsibilities as a wife, mother, and teacher. With the support of her family and friends, she decides to go through with chemotherapy, determined to fight the disease with all her might.

Meanwhile, her husband Paul (Oliver Platt) is struggling to keep up with the demands of his job and be a supportive partner. Their relationship is put to the test as they struggle to navigate through this difficult phase of their lives. Cathy's son Adam (Gabriel Basso) is also going through a tough time as he tries to cope with his mother's illness. He is attending therapy sessions where he meets an unlikely friend in the form of a fellow cancer patient named Mia (Nina Arianda). Their friendship blossoms as they bond over their shared experiences and struggles.

As Cathy's chemotherapy sessions begin, she finds herself feeling more isolated than ever before. Her colleagues at work fail to understand what she is going through, and she feels like she cannot talk to anyone about her fears and insecurities. However, that changes when she meets a fellow cancer patient named Lee (Hugh Dancy) during one of her treatment sessions. Lee, who is much younger than Cathy, is dealing with his own set of problems, but they find comfort in each other's company. They soon realize that they have a common goal in mind - to fight cancer with all their might and emerge victorious.

The episode takes a turn when Cathy decides to participate in a charity bike ride to raise money for cancer research. She ropes in her family, colleagues, and even her therapist to be a part of her team. What starts off as a competitive venture soon turns into a lesson in teamwork, as everyone comes together to support Cathy and one another. The charity ride is a success, and Cathy feels a sense of hope that she hadn't experienced before.

"There's No C In Team" is a poignant episode that explores the power of friendship, support, and collaboration in the face of adversity. It highlights the importance of having a support system during tough times and how it can make all the difference in one's battle against cancer. The episode is a testament to the fact that no one can fight cancer alone and that it takes a team effort to emerge victorious.
