A series of vignettes from days 18 and 19.
Dr. Charles Sophy meets with Jennifer who now is in desperate need of therapy.
JG tells him, "Men like that..." Ah, so that's it...men issues! Mike, a sexist pig? I think he was too fucked-up these last 20 years to be anything of substance. She was in way over her head after all.
In daily group DrD asks each what their after-care plan will be, and for the group to comment (me too
).
Dennis: "I'll just be doing my thing, 'cause drinking ain't going to kill me." Chance of long-term sobriety: 0%. The guy owns bars everywhere, and his presence with drink in hand at these establishments makes him money. So yes, Dennis, drinking is going to kill you!
Heidi: "I'm going back to my birds and regroup." And she wants a man? LTS: 0%
Shifty: "Continue going to 12-step meetings." LTS: 50% Although he may already be planning to get on CR4...
Mike Starr: makes the suggestion that he needs to remain at a sober living house. And DrD says that methadone withdrawal will take 6 months. I think this guy had no idea what was involved with cold-turkey of methadone and used Mike as a guinea-pig. In CR3 he said 30 days, the on SH2 he upped it to 90; and now he finally acknowledges the truth of six months. No one should have to go through this, asshole. Next time, try Suboxone. LTS: 20%
Tom: Loesha is going to work with him daily and he's going to do meetings "constantly." We're gunning for you, Tom. LTS: 90%
<<break>>
Tom is off to court on a 2007 meth charge. With him for support are Big Will and Monroe, whom I would've left at home. "And your honor, this is my girlfriend, who's going to help me stay clean...
" Tom says he was making a film there, and it was his last day, and blah blah blah. Bakerfield and Kern County are meth heaven; he knew the score.
Fortunately, thanks to DrD, this show and a good lawyer, Tom gets probation. Outside with the press, his lawyer gives him sage advice: "stay sober and you'll get everything back." The guy's a monster of an actor; Hollywood needs this guy back.
<<break>>
Dennis is with Bob at the beach picking up trash. Y'know, if I had to do hundreds of hours of that kind of work, I would learn my lesson quick. Now throw in the fact that Dennis is a large public figure, and...yeah well, that's alcohol for you.
In a 1on 1 with DrD and the PRC's head of Admin Shirley Bassett (isn't there a jazz singer with that name?) Dennis is asked about his mom, whom he hasn't seen in 7 years (c'mon dude, that's weak).
He again explains that he's independent (free to have hundreds of leeches ride your tip every night, fool).
DrD points out that she's not one of those people "sucking" and makes an odd picture with his hands (ever notice when Drew tries to use pop vernacular he looks like an idiot?) Sucking, indeed.
Tom, who now has a new DL and bank account, is moving into a new apartment. Wait a minute, this guy was making millions per picture and he didn't have a bank account? Where'd he cash the checks? I can see him standing in line with a boatload of Mexicans at one of those rip-off check cashing joints. Can you cash this check for $200,000? And my dealer doesn't like large bills...
Shifty and Kendra are there to assist (bet she's no help). Where's Monroe? I fear to know...
Love the zebra-stripped footrest! Hope he didn't pack up the table where he cut out lines.
<<break>>
Dennis enters chewing on the same straw for all 7 episodes.
And then we meet his mom, Shirley, who looks pretty good and seems like a decent person...until she says, "you promised you'd take care of me." Cue sucking sounds!
But overall Dennis should be shot for not keeping in touch for 7 years...it's your goddam mom! At least, hey mom, I got a new tattoo today! She was bummed she wasn't kept up to date on his tats. For a moment there I saw in him the gangly not-so-little boy growing up in Texas, with a generous heart, full of promise. How fleeting our own childhoods...
Later that evening at the SH Dennis decides that his mom should meet her two youngest grandkids for the first time, angelic Trinity and DJ, from the alien race of the phosphorescent green-hairs.
I don't know who this blond haired woman is (and there's absolutely no excuse for Dennis beating and forcing her and the kids on to welfare), but God, she's a real dud. No smiles, no real friendliness to her mother-in-law, just...blah. I'd be out at my clubs nightly, too.
A party for the SH gang featuring family and friends begins, and we briefly meet fresh-faced Jenna, who has arrived mightily fucked-up. Oh dear...
<<break>>
Jennifer says that she has the right to UA any of the guests for tonight's shin-dig for the safety of everyone. And she has a bead on this young hottie, Jenna, a friend of Shifty's (God, she's ferociously cute
...criminal that she's ruining herself in porn). Big Will and JG look at the results and find benzos (OK because she's on them for anxiety...sure... 
) and cocaine, which isn't surprising considering how fucked-up she's behaving. Will and JG explain to her that she'll have to leave. On her way out Jenna asks JG about getting clean and the PRC. Boom! Will, Bob and Jennifer glom on to her like flies on poop. Yes! Get clean! Otherwise you'll die! Right now! Go! Go!
Jenna freaks out and runs into the head to puke.
<<break>>
While regurgitating, the Sober Mob takes turns comforting Jenna. "You'll be alright." says Bob, who really just wanted to get into her pants, along with Will and Jennifer, I bet. Then more guilt, "Do you want to live or die?" "Duh, I want to live." This proves to be too much for the poor waif, who takes off with Shifty's sleazy guests.
Commentary: who could blame this girl for freaking out and taking off? Here she is, all of 18 or 19, getting mercilessly pummeled by over-endowed ass-wipes daily, and now caught high at a party. Embarrassed, with drugs now recently no longer working their magic, she is assaulted by three people who're telling her to go into hospital for a week. First, she's probably thinking that her creepy boss will rape her for missing work- as well this concept of getting clean is all new to her. Maybe they should've taken a gentler approach....y'think?

Cornered By Sobriety, Part I
