Legit season 1 episode 4, titled "Anger," follows the misadventures of Jim Jefferies as he grapples with his anger issues. At the start of the episode, Jim loses his temper at a traffic stop and gets into an altercation with the police officer. His outburst lands him in a mandatory anger management class, which he initially treats with disdain.
However, as the session progresses, Jim begins to open up about his childhood and the events that shaped his current pent-up anger. He talks about his estranged father, and how he wishes he had a better relationship with him. The class is taught by a therapist named Glenn, who challenges Jim's preconceptions about anger and encourages him to explore his emotions.
Meanwhile, Steve, Jim's best friend, is dealing with his own problems with anger and frustration. His girlfriend has recently left him, and he's struggling to cope with the loss. In an effort to ease Steve's pain, Jim takes him on a wild night out in Los Angeles, hopping from one bar to another and indulging in alcohol and drugs.
The night takes a turn for the worse when Steve gets into a fight with a group of guys at a club. Jim intervenes, but not before Steve has taken a battering. The two return to their hotel room, bruised and battered, and Steve finally opens up to Jim about how he's been feeling. Jim, in turn, shares his own struggles with anger and how he's trying to deal with them.
The episode ends on a poignant note, as Jim attends one final anger management class and delivers a heartfelt speech about his journey of self-discovery. He apologizes for his past behavior and expresses gratitude for the lessons he's learned. The scene underscores the central theme of the episode – that while anger is a powerful emotion, it can also be channeled into positive change if one is willing to confront it honestly.
