That was an intense episode, and we all know it is going to get worse. I thought when he was lurching around on deck that he was high...I'm just surprised that the other men didn't recognize it. I'm almost happy that Phil didn't live to see him go further downhill. It really truly must have broken his heart.

That was the biggest part of the "wow" for me, Sabbatia, the timing. Being in recovery myself, I sure am glad I had a few years under my belt before I lost my dad. I hope he gets whatever help he needs, soon. Also kinda ironic that Phil made comments about being less worried about Jake handling things than Josh. Missed most of After the Catch (why is it that my DH chooses the worst times for wanting to talk about nothing? lol), but what I did see was heart-wrenching.

I think Josh did know it....remember the conversation where he said Jake partied too hard during the break....and Jake said this was Seahab? If Josh knew his secret, it would go a long way in explaining some of the animosity between the two of them.

Phil had said a couple of weeks ago that he had tried every kind of drug there was...but I guess you don't want to see that in your own children.

The problem is....a lot of us have tried a lot of different stuff and never ended up with an addiction problem. If Phil is one of those people, I have to wonder how Phil will handle this in the limited time he has that is. BTW, watching it a second time knowing what is going on....you see it more.

You know....I didn't mean that to sound bad. Addiction is a physical and psychological problem. Some people can go through and dabble in things and not end up with a problem, and some people can dabble and it just grabs them. I saw it happen to a good friend of mine. Best just not to dabble.

I agree Sabbatia. There is a school of thought that some people are genetically predisposed to have addictive personalities (my daughter's father is a case in point). Not sure if it has ever been proven but it is fascinating. Most of us have all dabbled with one thing or another at some point in our lives, but come out without an addiction problem (okay, except for chocolate!). Some people are immediately "hooked" the first time they indulge. I worry about my daughter, who has a strong family history of addiction on her father's side...we've already started having conversations about it.

When I watched it the second time, I noticed the first thing Phil did was roll his eyes. This reaction should be interesting....and yep, nobody tried drugs with the intention of becoming addicted. It just happens.

Wow I knew as soon as Phil busted him stealing pills what was up. When Phil was yelling you are a liar and a thief, I KNEW there was more to it. I turned to my cousin who happened to be over and said OMG he is a junkie. He must be snorting Oxy's and he is dope sick. That's why he said to Phil, Dad you know how it is. Meaning he knew how awful it is to withdraw off opiates. What was ironic is that my cousin who was over actually had went to rehab this year for pills Oxy's, Roxy', Xanax....whatever people are snorting nowadays. In Florida we have these pain clinics which basically are legal drug dealers. You can walk in with an MRI and walk out with the strongest, most addictive pills on the market. They actually bus people in from other states to come to these clinics. It's a horrible, horrible problem and the State is taking their time regulating them. Addiction is a nightmare. I have been then and done that with family members. Jake is in big trouble. Addiction is bad enough, but losing your dad and him knowing your are junkie, the guilt must be killing Jake. Sad, just sad.

One thing none of us mentioned....It appears from the internet that Jake Anderson's father is still missing. That would explain some of what we've been seeing in his face....since his Dad was missing during opelio season.

A couple of comments that struck me... "We're not perfect people, we're just normal people in the world trying to make it." "I can't just let the boat fail because this was his dream that he put together and I'm going to make sure with every last breath that I've got that it keeps going on. It's what I'm supposed to do. It's what I was born, bred and corn-fed to do. "

OMG I just watched this weeks episode. I have tears in my eyes and I actually feel like I am going to be sick to my stomach. If only Capt Phil could have seen in the future, do you think he would have said what he did? God rest his soul.

Lexie...Jake A's dad has been missing since January. It was mentioned in the show a couple of times. He didn't tell Sig, but his mom called sig when they found his Dad's pickup on an old logging road. If you google it, you will see that he had gone to meet someone to buy some oxy and never came home. From what I saw online, he's still missing.

I can't believe that it happened almost 6 months ago and I just heard about it. How painful it must have been for Jake A not to tell Sig and the others about this. I'm sure it was from embarrassment of what he was doing when he disappeared. I did Google it and found THIS. Very sad. After The Catch next week is going to be focusing on The Northwestern. I wonder if Jake is going to be there and if more will be said. I just saw last night's ATC and was so sad when they spoke of Phil. I wonder how they are or if they are going to do an ATC for the Cornelia. It was just odd that noone from the CM was there, even though it's about the captains. The interview of Josh from Yankee was really great. But I always wondered why Phil thought that it would be Jake that would take over when it seemed like Josh was more interesting in the whole aspect of fishing than Jake. Plus Josh never really pushed his buttons like Jake could. But I am glad that they are both getting through this and that Jake is working on his addiction. I am especially stoked that they are on a health kick about the smoking and everything. I wonder if either of them have quit smoking yet. I don't think it was mentioned.

One of my pet peeves is print interviews where words are misspelled...you do not take the reigns...you take the reins! YIKES!

Very sad Zgirl. I honestly don't remember them talking about Jake's father going missing. I do remember when Jake's sister passed away.

Forgive me. I try not to be a spelling witch, but the misspelling that I was talking about was in a print article, where they should know the use of words better...it wasn't just a misspell...it was a misuse of a word. So feel free to slap me around if I get snarky about word misuse and spelling...it the long run it isn't relevant. I'm a legal secretary so I am judged on how well I can spell and find errors in my boss's work, so it is a habit I can't break!

Zgirl, no wonder I was confused. I posted that I hadn't heard anything about Jake's father going missing but, of course, I hadn't watched this past week's show until this weekend when they discussed it.
