Little House: "Home Again"

Anyway, the most awesome thing I saw on TV last week was the episode of Little House where Albert gets addicted to morphine. So Pa brings Albert back to Walnut Grove, not knowing that Albert was on the smack, and then Albert sneaks into Doc Baker's office and steals morphine and replaces it with powdered sugar and then some old dude is, like, dying and Doc gives him powdered sugar and when the dude is all, "It still hurts!" Doc totally figures it out because he's super-smart (even though he kind of looks like Frankenstein's monster) and then he tells Pa and they search Albert's stuff and find the smack. So then Albert promises to quit but he goes to school and starts tweaking out and he punches some kid and then backhands the teacher and runs out! And that's not even the awesome part. So then Pa decides that he and Albert need to go to a cabin in the middle of the woods so that Albert can detox and at one point Albert wakes up and says he can't breathe so Pa takes him outside and Albert knocks Pa down! And starts running through the woods and the music is all like an organ grinder like "Ooh, look at Albert running through the woods! Isn't that hilarious? Whee!" So he trips on a root or something and Pa catches him and takes him back to the cabin. And then Albert wakes up again later on and his legs are twitching uncontrollably and he begs Pa to make it stop so Pa is, like, holding him down and then Albert goes, "Bleeeaargh!" and pukes up this white stuff everywhere! And Pa's like, "Let it out, son!" And then Albert pukes up the white stuff like four more times. And there is a ton of it everywhere. And that was the most awesome thing I saw on TV last week. Oh, so then Albert goes back to school and gives a "Just Say No" speech to the kids, like was there really danger of a drug problem in Walnut Grove? I don't think so.
