Chokin' and Tokin' (#1.13)

Warning: Spoilers
Lindsay is worried that Nick is addicted to weed. Then she gets high for the first time herself and has to go baby sitting. She brings Millie with her because she can't handle it. Bill tells about his peanut allergy Alan wants to prove that he is lying and puts peanuts into his sandwich so Bill is in hospital in critical condition.

Bill's story was so good. He is my favorite character so his life being in danger was very sad to watch. They made this story so well. We are both sad and yet we get to laugh. Especially when Bill tells his friends they can tell the girls he is still dying to get dates. And it is amazing how they did it with Alan. We dislike this character from the start, after he puts Bill's life in danger we like him even less. But they still manage us to feel sympathy for him after hearing what he says when Bill is in coma. I loved his conversation with Bill. Bill is like the kindest guy ever, telling him that he heard what he said and inviting Alan to sci fi convention. Too bad he couldn't make himself to join them.

What I liked about Lindsay's story is how realistic they made that bad trip. Especially in the beginning when one isn't used to being high yet and smokes strong weed. That baby sitting would sure be a nightmare. Millie is a great friend who helps Lindsay out. Their talk was so well written. I just knocked off one point from this episode because they tried to make it look as if Nick has some drugs problem. Please, it is weed, nothing to worry about.
