Interventionist:
Surprised there’s no comments for this one yet. I was honestly shocked about that possible OD in the middle of the episode – Narcan’ing the guy, then administering ANOTHER dose of fentanyl and “pills” to straighten him out.
Yah that was definitely a first for the show.
I think that just shows today’s world and just how dangerous drugs are…. this NEVER would have happened in the earlier seasons where heroin was the hardest opiate around. it’s scary out there, deadly and dangerous.
that was a Top 5 moment for me. & I’ve been watching since season 1.
I really liked Shannon, I’m from Canada as well and I share her love for animals. The way she casually brought a man back to life with narcan in that trap house was crazy indeed.
I am rooting for her.
