QUEER AS FOLK {U.S. VERSION}: TED'S NOT DEAD (TV)
Summary
One in this series about the day-to-day lives of a circle of gay and lesbian friends living in Pittsburgh.
In this episode, Michael, Emmet and Brian must deal with the aftermath of Ted's night with Blake, which left Ted in a coma from a GHB overdose. While Michael is left to care for Ted's mother, Brian learns from Melanie that he has been appointed the executor of Ted's "living will," making him responsible for deciding if and when to take Ted off life support. Brian's self-centered tantrum about the responsibility foisted upon him takes him to Lindsay and Melanie's house, where he causes yet another domestic squabble.
In the meantime, Justin's mother finds his notebook where he obsesses about men in general and Brian in particular; when she confronts Justin about being gay, he runs to find Brian, hoping to stay at his apartment, but instead ends up at Michael and Debbie's house. Although Ted wakes from his coma, Michael faces another challenge when he accidentally discovers that Ted's feelings for him run deeper than friendship. This program is closed-captioned.
