Glen’s addiction lands him in the ER, leading to forced detox. Edie strives to persuade her new boss, the US Attorney, to build a case against Purdue.

The acting in the OD scene was excellent.  Unfortunately I have seen more than one OD.  It felt very real.  This is a much more layered view of an addict than is usually shown.  We usually get the cheesy, show the addict spacing out, their distorted view of things, in a way that is somewhat dreamy.  This is raw and much more accurate.

It's unbelievable that the FDA guy resigned from his job to work for Purdue.  That didn't raise any red flags for anyone?

Shannon seems a bit too stupid for me.  She saw a girl she met before faking an injury at another clinic and snort up, and she's reassured that she's just another addict.  It's really disgusting how they keep pushing the drugs and recommending higher dosages just so everyone can get paid.

Poor Glen.
