In this fourth and final episode, we rejoin Teddy in a memory where he finds himself meeting up with his dealer, a guy named Jamaica – at some run-down, sketchy hotel. Jamaica went off on his own to score some Roxy’s for Teddy. When he returned, he found Teddy smoking crack with a random homeless woman. No one could have every guessed that the next time Teddy and Jamaica would ever see each other would be at a meeting, where Teddy would have 9 months clean, and Jamaica would be asking him to be his sponsor.
