That’s right. I had forgotten whose shoulder Jeff was crying on.

That scene made it okay for me to admit that I didn’t like Glee, either.

Jeff was crying on Pierce’s shoulders, not Abed’s father’s. It was at the school dance and Abed’s father was not in that episode. Pierce was indeed very sympathetic. Then he hit up Jeff for some money to pay his hooker.

It’s a good thing there aren’t any old people around - they’d have no idea what was going on.
