 +After [[ayaka]] returned to the United States with [[tch]] and married Tim, she began to work for Dr. San. Tim, oblivious, thought Ayaka was working for a Dr. Luther, mistaking her pronunciation of "Luther San" as a Japanese honorific ("Luther-san"). However, [[gregg]] discovered Dr. Luther's identity after he and Ayaka were invited to a "wellness picnic." Gregg informed Tim, who was enraged that Dr. San had been "right under my nose" all along.[(cite:s07e03>[[s07e03]])] However, Tim chose to forgive Dr. San for his past transgressions, and hired him as a full-time live-in doctor, treating Tom Cruise Jr.'s health problems.[(cite:s07e04>[[s07e04]])]

Tim said he lost 15 pounds in 72 hours using the system.[(cite:s08e02>[[s08e02]])]
