Well that's enough serious talk for one recap. Let's get back to making fun of people with real problems. Moments after their epiphanies MHWG and Jeff got in a shoving match outside the gallery, Upon leaving, Jeff called "shotgun". While this may seem very childish there is a more than valid explanation. Jeff's injury makes it so he sort of does need is own space. He really can't afford to be bumped by someone next to him if the van took a sharp turn.

For some reason MHWG took it upon himself to try and talk Jeff out of his seat in order to "hold" it for res tech Shelly. By "talk Jeff out of his seat" I mean "got in Jeff's face and gently shoved him..". That being said, as I mentioned before, Jeff legitimately cannot be shoved/touched AT ALL. What ensued was a screaming, yelling f-you fest that was really the clip of the show but was, simply put a bunch of bleeped f-you's. Gary did try to claim that he "tripped into Jeff". This claim is preposterous but, like usual we can't tell if it is a lie because due to Gary's neurological issues he may actually think that's what happened. I dubbed these guys the "the only two people who are truly recovering" two paragraphs ago? Well, they did find me on craigslist.

I would say hug it out, but I don't want anyone's head exploding.

When the troops got back to home base Stewart rallied the troops against Busey. (Stewart was the physically closest to Jeff and Gary during the conflict) He ran around stating the obvious "Busey should be in a psych ward..". He sort of reminded me of Denzel Washington in Crimson Tide running around the sub trying to convince everyone that Gene Hackman was off his rocker. The stakes are raised here. All that was art stake in Tide was the fate of the world. Stewart, if he succeeds in his quest, could vanquish MHWH from our lives forever. This is heavy stuff.

Gary attempted to apologize to Jeff but it was derailed when he once again claimed that he "fell into him". This comment was overheard by Stewart who jumped in the fray. After some mindless one-liners back and forth Stewart decided to walk away but Busey chased him down the hall and had to be restrained by Bob Forrest. Busey definitely violated Stewart's physical space, but once again, he claimed that he, "fell on him". I would like to see how many people Busey fell on before getting sober.

Car Crash
What? I fell.

Drew called everyone together in order to retain some order. More insults were exchanged. Busey was accused of being a mental case, a child and not being able to respect boundaries. Busey spewed incomprehensible nonsense peppered with comments about his "Lord and savior Jesus Christ". What if after Jesus got pissed at all those zealots and started throwing stuff around in the town square in Galilee (or was it Jerusalem?) he kept on saying "I didn't do that, I just fell into your Franken scents and Mur..".

After a bunch more yelling Drew decided to give Rodney the job of regulating (from now until the end of rehab) whether anybody is "stepping over people's boundaries" and letting them know it. I don't agree with this. Rodney needs to recover, not be some half-assed security guard. He has made no progress because Drew and the staff like him too much to push him through the hard steps of getting better. If Rodney is in fact Gary's "Bodyguard" I hope we won't have to sit through a mush mouthed version of that awful "...and ieieieie willl alhaways lo o o o love you ewe ew.." crap.

Whitney-2
Season 3 is calling.

Drew's next move was to try and show Gary in a more positive light by screening The Buddy Holly Story. Busey was nominated for a best actor Oscar for his performance. That last sentence was not made up. The quotable moment here came when Stewart asked, "...what's it about". Um Buddy Holly. Yeah Stewart, he's that guy buried in Grant's tomb. This was followed by Stewart replying "...who's Buddy Holly". Your dad is a 60's rock star and you don't know who Buddy Holly is? It is seriously akin to Rodney King having a son who didn't know who Martin Luther King was.

I'll bet Busey used that "I fell" line a lot with women back in the day.

I think Dr. Drew is trying to force Rodney into some confrontations by making him the boundary police. It seems like it might take the focus off of Rodney's own problems, though.

I think how heaven works is kind of like airplanes. There is First Class and Coach. I'll be sure to send you some of those cool slippers and a pillow when the time comes.

Hugs!

"Amber Smith's supple DNA map." Beautiful!

Snootchy Bootches:

Every time Jeff speaks, I just think "Acting!" It all just seems like playing for the camera. That goes for when he is throwing a tantrum or being nice. He really detracts from the show and the therapy for the other addicts. I felt that last season and this season. Hopefully, they will leave him off if there is a next season.

Does anyone else feel like Shawn Stewart (or whatever his name is because I can't be arsed to look it up) is a complete tool and it has nothing to do with drugs?

Oh and... it's frankincense and myrrh. Just sayin.

reckless_saturn_1`1:

alright you can write without mentioning amber smith's ass. but can you actually write a decent re-cap?

angelbayyb:

i absolutely HATED the supple ass recap. it was unbearable to read.

buttttt ive liked all of your other recaps and i realy liked this one.

just had to stick my opinion in there snce saturn is being mean lol

fire@will:

Good recap.

I appreciate the screen caps of Amber. The camera really does love her.

I agree that it seems odd (and maybe unfair) about Rodney being asked to set boundaries for other patients.

I also agree that two seasons is enough of the Jeff drama - even though I would like to see him have a full recovery.
