Sad & Creepy
21 December 2021
David Minkoff plays Colin, a mentally handicapped teenager whose mother is dying of cancer, and his father hates him because he is not normal.

What a sad story. Colin's mother dies, and then Colin is murdered. The investigation goes to Colin's school, where all the kids took turns abusing the mentally handicapped Colin, and his best friend accused him of attempted rape.

So a guy with everything against him is now also labeled a sexual predator. His Mom was dying, and she wanted the best for him. A college student who took care of Colin in order to make extra money was the only person left who could help Colin. So what does he do?

David Minkoff, the actor that plays Colin does an extraordinary job. This really sad and horrible story only worked because Minkoff was so credible in the way that he reacted to the other characters. Awesome episode.
