- “Jessie’s Song” Saved by the Bell In an attempt to salvage a script that got censored, Jessie becomes addicted to caffeine pills. In a pivotal scene where another character tries to save her from herself, and throw out the pills, and she becomes hysterical and screams that she needs them, instead of just grabbing her purse and saying “fine, I’ll go to Walmart and get some more for $2,” you realize the script was originally supposed to be about coke, or amphetamines, or something. Yippie-ki-yay, Mr. Falcon.
