While one of Dinkys' mom's Families Against Drugs meetings is going on P John gets into a fight with one of the attendees over cake and is soon asked to leave.

"The real meaning of addiction is that you turn to poison to bring you out of your misery. And then the poison becomes a problem. And then you just keep getting in deeper and deeper, until there's no way out. And it doesn't only have to be drugs. It can be anything."
