   To build on what @Timeweaver said, reverse psychology works when your subject doesn’t catch on that you’re trying to do it. The idea is that people have a negative emotional reaction to being told what to do or how to do it, so if you try to, they will do the opposite. (Anyone ever have or remember being a teenager?) This doesn’t always work, and sometimes is confused with trying to guilt-trip the subject, which is just attempting to give the subject a negative reaction to the suggestion you want them to avoid directly.

   apGwilym is right. “Froid” is “cold” en Français — both as in temperature or even figuratively as in coldness of a relationship — but it is definitely not a homophone for Freud, unless you count when it is mispronounced by sounding it out with an American accent. (“Froid” sounds close to “fwah.”) Teena is making a joke at Jeri’s flub (Reverse psychiatry? Is that giving someone the opposite medical treatment they need for a psychiatric condition?) — the concept of reverse psychology is not Freudian.

   Hmmm. Another case of a poor coloring job ruining the joke. I think that’s supposed to be an omelet she’s flipping…

   Oh no! I was beginning to wonder what the big catch was with their otherwise fabulous new place…

   In any case, the strip would have been funnier if she were wearing a white shirt…
