Ep 20. Junkie Business

Hank and Peggy Hill were relaxing in their home when they are interrupted by a frantic Nancy, who has lost her niece, until they hear a loud crash from outside the house. Upon investigation, they find that their friend and neighbor, Dale Gribble, has crashed his van into the Hill's yard and is writhing around on the ground. Hank and Peggy are shocked to find that Dale has become addicted to huffing propane gas and is a drug addict.

Dale's addiction to propane gas infuriates Hank, who is a propane dealer and has taken pride in his work for many years. Hank is disgusted that Dale has turned to huffing propane, something that Hank has always seen as obnoxious and unprofessional. Meanwhile, Peggy feels sympathetic towards Dale and wants to help him quit his addiction.

The episode focuses on how Hank and Peggy try to come to grips with Dale's drug addiction and how they go about helping him. Hank tries to convince Dale to quit his addiction but finds that he is unwilling to listen to him. Meanwhile, Peggy takes it upon herself to educate Dale about the dangers of propane gas and tries to convince him to get help.

As the episode progresses, Dale's addiction worsens, and he starts to become more erratic and unstable. He steals propane from Hank's store and becomes increasingly agitated when his stash runs out. Hank tries to intervene, but Dale refuses to listen and ends up getting into a dangerous confrontation with Hank, causing him to flee.

Peggy, who is still committed to helping Dale, discovers a local rehabilitation facility that specializes in treating propane addicts. She convinces Dale to check in to the facility, and the episode concludes with Dale completing his treatment and kicking his addiction. Hank is relieved, and the two friends reconcile their differences.

Overall, the episode focuses on addiction and how it affects people's lives, as well as the importance of getting help. The show's satirical humor is used to highlight both the absurdity and seriousness of addiction and the impact it has on individuals and communities.
