Donna Mills and Tonya Crowe deserved Emmys for this episode dealing with Olivia's cocaine addiction! KNOTS was wayyy ahead of its time exploring such a controversial issue, which has rarely if ever been tackled on daytime or prime time with such power! Definitely among the series' best episodes! I'm still amazed when I think about it all these years later!

I agree those were moving scenes. I especially like the one where Brian get beat up at school by the dealers and Abi brings him home and there's a scene between Abi and Olivia there which was really good. That's the point where Olivia hands all her drugs over and gives in.
