Episode synopsis
When seventeen-year-old Ryan gets pulled over by the cops for a hit and run accident, he knows he's in for trouble. But when he's questioned by the cops, matters are made worse by the fact that he and his friends have been smoking a joint and driving under the influence. Cuffed and taken into Juvie, Ryan is blazed beyond comprehension, too high to know how to respond to the intake officer's questions.
