Smashes Through . . .

Warning: Spoilers
. . . ROCK BOTTOM!

If you've been there, this episode is real.

Rollins goes down on a thug! In order to keep gambling!?

YES!

This is the most accurate depiction of addiction I have seen outside of real life.

This isn't Archie Bunker doing speed one week, wigging out, being hospitalized and going back to normal in two episodes.

Nor is it saying there is an answer just around the corner with the help of rehab, friendship, counsel and your Higher Power. The addict, be it nicotine, alcohol, uppers, downers, opiates or gambling took way more than 12 steps. Nobody's immune. Even Scotty Valens of "Cold Case" raided a medicine cabinet, but Rollins hit the "baby-in-the-dumpster" point.

Her classic TV dubious rosy escape is far from anything real, but if you've ever been there (an addict), it's happy as can be.

(No longer do Rollins/Amaro equal Barbi/Ken)
