Freaks and Geeks 1.02

Beers and Weirs

Mr. and Mrs. Weir go away for the weekend and leave Lindsey and Sam home alone, for the first time. Lindsey mentions it to her new friends and they suggest that they could have a kegger. Lindsey tells Sam her plans. He agrees to not say anything but he feels like he's doing the wrong thing.

Sam tells Neal and Bill about the party. They agree with Sam, the party is a bad idea. They come up with a plan. They get a keg of non-alcoholic beer and switch it with keg of alcoholic beer. They put the other keg in Sam's bedroom

Millie shows up at the party. She doesn't understand why Lindsey is throwing the party. Some of Daniel's older friends show up. The party gets a little out of hand for a moment or two but nothing too crazy happens. Cindy shows up. Bill gets into the real keg of beer and drinks enough to get drunk. Millie strives to prove she can have more fun than anyone else without drinking. 

Lindsey walks in on Daniel and Kim making out on her bed. She gets bummed out seeing them together like that. She thought they had broken up. Nick tries to console her but then he tries to undo her bra. Neal helps when it looks like someone is going to get another keg of beer. He calls the police to complain about the noise. Everyone runs out when they hear that the police have showed up.

Thoughts

The death of John Bonham, drummer for Led Zeppelin, is mentioned a few times in this episode. Bonham died on Sep 25, 1980.

This is a decent episode. It has moments of humor but I didn't think it was as funny as the previous one.
