Jean Villepique played a therapist once more (“I guess it’s in my wheelhouse”) when Loretta Devine’s Cynthia got some help for her depression in 'The Blues'.

The Season 2 episode earned critical acclaim for its handling of a tough topic. “It was a privilege to be there,” Villepique says. “A lot of my work is being the straight woman, and at the end, the director was like, ‘Just go ahead and play.’ And I was like, ‘I’m a guest here, truly, so I’m not going to pull out my bag of tricks and try to make this really funny.’ It was a lovely moment, and I didn’t want to ham it up with my ham.”
