    Well, I loved this episode! Harrison is back!, and he is a changed man! This episode had 3 storylines going on. 1) Harrison is not himself since he came back from the hospital. 2) Sugar is feeling left out , since Josh and Lily are a couple. 3) Nicole, who gets a astrological reading gift cert. from Brooke, gets some info from mom that bothers her.

    The show opens with Harrison coming out of one of the women's stalls in the "Novak" looking quite dapper and saying he is a changed man since the Leukemia.

    Sugar is in class watching Josh and Lily kissing. He wants to talk to Josh.

    Ms. Glass, who was in a accident wants the class to fix her carburetor, as part of a class assignment. Harrison says "no", and if she tries to make them, he will report her to the school board. He stands up to "Claw"(Ms. Glass) real good and the class cheers him on.

    Sugar & Josh talk about getting a Playstation 2(this was new back then, remember). Josh says ok and they will meet after school, 3:00 sharp.

    George, Carmen and Sam watch Harrison make fun of April Tuna in the cafeteria. They wonder what's gotten into him. Sam goes to Harrison's locker and says he is "creeping her out" and that he is acting like ... Nicole. He says that's not so bad, cause she gets results.

    Nicole talks to her mom in the car and asks for the time and place of her birth. She questions what her mom says , because she was so vague. Mom doesn't want to show her the birth certificate. She says Nicole needs to diet. Her mother was pretty much a self esteem buster!

    Josh is late in meeting Sugar and therefore they miss out on getting a Playstation. Sugar says he wants time apart from Josh because he is always disappointed in what happens. Now, if you ask me....they just broke up! (lol)

    Mary Cherry sees Harrison make fun of April again in the hall and calls a meeting with Sam, Lily and Carmen, and comes to the conclusion that Harrison is possessed, and they need to do.. 2 words... Exor- cism! (very funny how Mary Cherry says it)

    George walks into the locker room realizing he needs to make more guy- friends. So he approaches Sugar to see if he wants to hang out and play some Playstation2. Sugar says yes. Josh looks bummed.

    Nicole goes through her moms safe looking for her birth certificate. She finds out she is adopted!

    The girls feel that Harrison is stuck with Nicole inside of him. The bone marrow transplant is now taking over Harrison and they need to have an exorcism to get rid of the "demon-Julian". Now I must say Harrison (Gorham) is quite sexy as he walks down the hall and makes 'sexy-eyes' with the girls in the hall. Mary Cherry gets him to go to the Novak where Lily, Sam and Carmen join her to capture Harrison. They tie him to a chair and his arms outstretched. They say they want the old Harrison back. He says some mean things to the girls. They chant and he starts to 'devil-talk'.

    Josh runs into George & Sugar laughing and having a good time. He wants to join them but they say "sorry, no".

    Brooke and Nicole talk, and Brooke says to just ask (Nicole's) mom about the adoption. She needs to deal with it and then move on.

    So now a priest shows up in the Novak, and Harrison projectile vomits on him (like in Carrie). So now Sam, who doesn't believe in any of this, tells everyone to leave and she is going to deal with Harrison.I find it amazing how many people get into this school and where are all the teachers when this goes on?

    Josh approaches George and tells him to stay away from Sugar. Now, the funny thing about this whole storyline, is that for the 3 guys , they are treating Sugar like he is the girlfriend and Josh is the ex-boyfriend and George is the current boyfriend. Josh is jealous and wants Sugar back but George is happy and doesn't want to give him back. It is so funny to see them acting this way and there is no female involved.

    Nicole tells her mom she can forgive her for making her feel inadequate & ugly & not worthy to be loved, but she cannot forgive her for not telling her who she is or where she comes from. Her mother tells her that she was born from a 16 yr old cheerleader who gave birth in a restroom. Nicole wants a name.... Shaggy Louise Grout. So Nicole and Brooke go to a trailer park looking for Shaggy. The lady living there says Shaggy died. Nicole is sad.

    George goes to his locker and finds a small poster, that Sugar made that has pictures of them all over it. He even made a music cassette for him. Sugar gives him a ticket to a concert that George planned on going to with Sam. George tells Sugar he needs a break and that he is smothering him. Josh overhears this.

    Harrison & Sam are in the Novak (still) and Sam says this ends or the bond they have is broken. She starts to walk out and Harrison says 'stop'. He is sorry, but he liked the attention he was getting. He said the battling for his life changed him. He doesn't want to go back to his life before, being scared, afraid to act and insignificant. He appologized again and says to be patient, until he figures out who he is. She agrees and they are friends again.

    Josh tells Sugar he missed him and he is important to him. They are "Best buds".
    The conversation went something like this:
    Josh: "You complete me, Sugar"
    Sugar: " Shut up....You had me at ...Yo"
    (remember , this is when Jerry McGuire was out)

    So did you like this episode? Let me know. Was it one of your favorites, like it was mine?
    Next week "Brain Game"
