Anyone notice that in this episode that after the scene where the girl fails the dance addiction & she takes the date job from the club owners assistant, when Sam asks the bartender if she was there & the bartender says she just left, there is a shot of Sam looking at the assistant talking on the phone which is clearly a freeze frame. I guess the shot was a pick up shot, but man it looks really sloppy & badly done.

This is an interesting episode to watch because it got ALOT of different plot threads and covers quite a few social problems.

Beyond the issue of disability discrimination, you got the role that poverty plays in prostitution and a brief mention of AIDS.

With all these plots threads in a tight TV schedule, its amazing it all worked out.
