Cookie, the plumber

I know I can't be the only one, but I thought Cookie looked sexy as hell in that dress "getting her hands dirty" taking those sink drainage pipes apart.

I couldn't get past the pills still being in there days later. I wished he'd just remembered his stash in the freezer or something. I realize that desperate times call for desperate measures but that was so gross.

Would you have swallowed those gunky pills right out of the sink pipes?

Dang, they got him into rehab just in time!!!!!

Aside from Jamal taking those disgustingly slimy pills, what really surprised me is that they were still in the drain pipe. A few days had passed. Jamal hadn't used his kitchen sink at all in the past 2 to 3 days!? Those pills should've been in the sewer by that time.

Love,

Notzi

Ewww I know right they were all wet and loosing their color. Jamal needed them pills that bad?

That scene looked ridiculous and I felt sorry for the lazy writers.

SMH looool

Knowing d*mn well those pills would not have been still in those pipes unless he has a serious plumbing problem that he "strangely" can't afford to fix in such a lavish place.

Just another way to make Cookie seem superior in every way of the show... As if she has the answer for everything.

Looked to me like Jamal was withdrawing from heroin not pills. Never heard of pills causing those symptoms...nausea, sweating etc. Pill withdrawal is usually more psychological than physical. And those compromised pills then made him so high and joyous, he gave the performance of his life. Laughable and ridiculous...

Same.

Though pills are almost IF not as dangerous as heroine. Most of the ingredients that make up Oxycodone,Hydrocodone, Oxycotin, Percocet etc are like pill forms of Heroine. This is why Jamal was in such a withdrawal and sick.

I had surgery for two herniated disk in my lower back and was prescribed Oxycodone. Its easy to just take it for pain AT FIRST... But then you find yourself chugging down pills and you have no pain but you want that WARM, EUPHORIC body high that it gives you... Sh*t is nothing to play with and I left it alone quick... My wife started seeing a change in me as well.

When I got off, I was really aggressive, short tempered, couldn't sleep and had body chills even during summer... SMH

Pills can do it bro. It took Prince (legendary singer) out and he was hooked on Percocet.
