OK, so its no absolution for leaving Teddy on the floor but he's not actually as bad as he's portrayed.

(In the UK version the trick not only left Phil to die but nicked the cash from his wallet too!!)
Oh, I never really saw him as bad. Even the first time, when he leaves Ted and we don't know that he called someone... Well I was pretty angry at him, but mostly saw him as a kid who got scared when the situation got out of hand.

But he is portrayed as being the one who left Teddy in a coma ... and he really isn't accepted by Em until the end of S5. And if Blake is ever going to be accepted by the boys, it has to be Em first because of his closer than close relationship with Teddy.

Spooky, just typing this and random track on iTunes is Teddy and Blake at Babylon scene!!

Well... he IS the one who left Teddy in a coma I bet you'd have a hard time accepting the situation aswell if it had happened with a good friend of yours.

Ummmm, didn't see Teddy not taking the GHB, which he admitted to taking before anyway! I don't see how you can blame Blake for Teddy's reaction this time!

He left him in a coma because he abandoned him there (or so it seemed), not because he gave him the drug.

But he called the paramedics!! Teddy's reaction to the drug put him in a coma.

Still, I can understand Emmett's grudge

Although Blake's intentions were good, he still couldn't erase what happened to Ted that night. Emmett was so angry and fearful Blake would drag Ted down along with him. Which is understandable, because he was just worried about his friend's well-being.

I guess Teddy should have taken Justin's advice to never take anything that isn't "prescribed by a physician or recommended by a reliable pharmacist."

Justin was the youngest, yet he still knew better than Ted.

True! At given times, he knew better than most. He was a mature 17 & at times the "typical" 17 yr old. HAHA

I was so happy that it didn't end like QAF UK. I literally was ready to skip the episode because of it.

Coincidentally, the first time I watched was on YT and that episode was missing completely. Then after I bought the set, I got to watch it. But at that point, I knew that Ted survived.

I would've been devastated. I had already grown fond of Ted.

My whole journey here was so fd but I did see Teddy survive his OD before I saw Phil die from his so I was beyond shocked when that happened.
