QAF - 1.4
The third episode left us with Ted convulsing on the floor; in this episode you find out that he did not die. Thankfully. He is, however, in a coma and not expected to wake up. Confronted with the harsh reality of hookups in the 20th century, the boys do what they do best, gathering together to be there for Ted’s mom and each other. Brian discovers he’s been named the “responsible” party if Ted is unable to make decisions for himelf, and is thus left to deal with potentially pulling the plug on his friend.
Justin deals with a lot this episode as well, with his mom finding the drawings he made of Brian, her subsequent questions regarding his sexuality, and of course jerking off Chriss Hobbs in the equipment room after school. With the realization he can’t hide his sexuality much longer, Justin runs away to find Deb, who tries to befriend Justin’s mom.
By the end of the episode Ted is awake (thanks to Brian screwing an orderly in the next bed!) and getting ready to head home. If there’s one thing I didn’t like about this episode, it’s the hinting the writers did regarding Ted’s crush on Michael. It never goes anywhere, and seems an unnecessary plot twist.
