Synopsis[]
Zahid teaches Sam to lie, while Elsa practices being honest. Evan helps Casey to get over an embarrassment. A doctor visit forces Julia out of denial.
Title Meaning[]
Zahid calls his technique for lying the "pants on fire" technique, in reference to “Liar, Liar, pants on fire”, a rhyme said when someone is caught lying, typically by young kids.
When Zahid puts his joint into his pocket, it causes his pants to catch on fire slightly, which Sam points out saying 'Zahid, I think your pants are on fire'.
