“Flashback 1: Sydney and Auggie at his first AA meeting. They flirt and end up getting it on, in a super aggressive way that says I just might murder you in four years.

Flashback 2: Auggie off the wagon. Sydney trying to save him. Auggie tells her he had a girlfriend who died because of him. How? “We were at a bar. Back then I was always at a bar.” A brawl escalated, girlfriend got in the middle and was stabbed to death. Auggie: “She bled to death right there on Hollywood Boulevard. Because of me.” Cue: shaky, shaky camera angles to heighten the drama! Sydney promises to help him stay sober – but no more sex – they’re taking the program seriously.

Flashback 3: The night of Sydney’s murder. Now Sydney’s the one off the wagon! Auggie’s pissed that she’s more into getting back at Dr. Mancini (Oh boy, this one’s a long story, you can read about it here) than loving the Auggster. Sydney tells him she can’t stay sober, Auggie tells her she’s one sick women and Sydney tries to stab him (giving him the cuts we saw at the beginning of the episode).”

This show should not be so hard to understand, but that kind of makes it fun too.
