Treat is going on and on. New York City is his natural habitat, and he loves it so much he nearly gets killed celebrating his love by walking out in front of a cab. Laughing again, he asks Ephram if he seems manic. Ephram says no, he's glad his dad is happy, as he's been depressed far too long. Treat is surprised by this. "Yeah," Ephram says. "Your girlfriend's boyfriend just came out of a coma. Trust me, I'm like, the one guy on earth who can totally relate." Haaaa! What a thing for a father and son to have in common. Treat answers, amazingly, that he's "forgotten all that." He says he's given all that drama up until he's back in Everwood, which may be never. He continues his hopped-up talk, trying to convince Ephram to go ice skating at Rockefeller Center, since he never got to take him as a kid. Ephram has to get ready for his audition, though, so they make plans for later.
Back in Everwood, Bright is having an epiphany. He explains to Amy that he is feeling great. Amy: "I seriously can't deal with you right now." But, no, he really does feel great, even though, as he says, his life sucks. "I was thinking about it. I have no reason to be happy, but I am. So, how come?"
"I don't know," Amy guesses. "You prayed. No, wait. Porn." Both good guesses, I thought. My next idea would have been that he prayed for porn, but I would have also been wrong.
Because, no. All this greatness is, according to Bright, due to Jillian, the girl who almost sued him for sexual harassment and got him fired. Amy looks on in shock as Bright explains, "I apologized to her, for getting bored with her after three days and treating her like crap! Like, I dumped her ass, but then I said I was sorry. And I meant it!" Dude, "dumped her ass"? Harsh words for primetime.
Bright then lays out his plan to go around and apologize to every girl "I've dicked over" in the past. DUDE. "Dicked over"? What is going on on the WB? Anyway, Amy hears this plan, pauses, and asks, "Seriously, Bright...can't you just volunteer at a hospital?" Nope, he has a list of names and everything, starting with the girl in sixth grade who let him touch her boobs. Names keep coming to him to add to the list. "Taco Bell Chick! With the clock tattoo. Or, was it Taco Time Chick with the bell tattoo?"
Over at Edna's, Rose is trying her best to talk some sense into her mother-in-law. Edna's on a rant, so she can barely get a word in. When Rose says she can understand why Edna is angry, Edna reminds her that if she gets angry enough she could have her squad full of old Army buddies corner Irv in a parking lot and beat him with a sack of nickels. This show is a lot more like Deadwood than I realized.
