Death and Disease

David is talking on the phone to Kira. What? I thought she was gone for good! David tells her that he misses her, and that he'll be where she is soon. Kira asks what day he's going to be there. David says that he'll be there from the 27th through the 7th. Kira can't believe that he's not coming on the 23rd, as originally promised. For some reason, they keep cutting to Nathan, who is playing pool nearby. Kira says that she didn't know their plans had changed that much, and David points out that he was supposed to leave for Morocco on the 5th. Of course, since this is the first time we've heard any of this, it doesn't seem like that much of a sacrifice. In an interview, David explains that he's going to Morocco to go to an intensive language school to learn French. David tells Kira that it's something he has to do, and Kira gets upset. ["He 'has' to learn French? What? Why?" -- Wing Chun] In an interview, Nathan, the relationship expert, says that if David loves Kira, he needs to come to some decisions about their future together. On the phone, David apologizes and does what he does best: gets all dramatic. Kira sobs that she hopes this works. In an interview, David says that when Kira hurts, he hurts too.

David talks to Stephen about all the decisions he has to make, and how scared he is. David says, "I am legitly [sic] petrified." Hee! In an interview, David has a huge scrape on his neck as he says that he wants to "do it for this girl but right now it ain't going to be enough." David says that he doesn't want to give up his education for anyone. David tells Stephen that he thinks he's getting an ulcer, and that his heart has been pounding for the past three weeks. Where's Janet to tell him to go to the doctor? Stephen is inexplicably trying to set fire to a Chapstick. David feels like he's going to blow up, and it makes him glad he's going to Morocco, where he can "really chill." Because intensive language courses are akin to relaxation therapy. Stephen, who is silent, finally succeeds in lighting the Chapstick, only to blow it out.

Oh, I hate this scene. Hate it, hate it, hate it. I'm going to keep it short. The phone rings, and Lindsay answers it. It's her brother, Poull. He says, "Bill killed himself." Well, way to soften the blow, dude. And then the cameras start circling Lindsay like vultures, zooming in on her face. Lindsay's mom comes on the phone as Lindsay starts sobbing. I feel so dirty watching this. Rebecca sees that Lindsay is crying and tries to come over to comfort her, but Lindsay pushes her away. Lindsay is crying so hard that she can't even talk, but she finally gets out, "Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?" Rebecca looks on in shock. Lindsay slams down the phone and starts yelling and cursing as Rebecca, Janet, and Stephen look on helplessly. Lindsay picks up the phone on the other side of the room, probably trying to get away from the cameras, but it doesn't work. Lindsay's mom explains that Bill used carbon monoxide to kill himself. Lindsay screams, "You're kidding me? Why did he do it?" Her mother says, "Bill is gone now." Rebecca looks like she is crying. Dude, I'm almost crying, and I've seen this episode before, more than a few times.
