He is forced to go to a rehab facility, where his counselor, Dr. Moreno (played by Laura San Giacomo), tells him that if he leaves the facility before they say he is ready, the court will send him to prison for his violent offenses. She says that based on what she’s found Otis has PTSD, which he denies repeatedly, but she encourages him to look into his past through exposure therapy.
