!!!!!!!!!!
It’s one of the reasons I really don’t like G.I Jeff. I appreciate the cartoon element and all, and I don’t like to completely blank it from my mind because that’s basically what the show did like you say - HE ALMOST DIED! - but I also have to blank it out because it makes me so mad?
I think... it was a fic... (because I just checked the script so it can’t have been canon)... that has made me think that Hickey would have found him, though, seeing as they shared an office and that’s where the bottle of scotch/pills are shown on Jeff’s desk.
If it had been a longer season it either A) wouldn’t have happened at all or B) would have been acknowledged and dealt with respectively but BOI that doesn’t excuse the bad writing of just having them have a group hug at the end.
ALSO - speaking of Annie, of course she would want Jeff to get back on his feet but it would also have really worried her and probably would have brought up some feelings from the past from when she had her addiction. Combining all of that with the fact she loves him with the whole of her being, like?? UGH.
As you can see, I too, have a lot of feelings about this.
