It happens after Jared wakes up screaming from another horrific nightmare. Erlich calms him down with hugs and kisses and then says “I have some low-THC weed I use for this sort of thing. It won’t make you high, it’ll just calm you down and make you sleepy. Do you want to try it?”

Jared nods. Erlich roots around under the bed and comes up with a glass pipe and a small baggie of weed. He lights up, then hands it to Jared, who replicates the motion.

“Hold the smoke in your lungs for a bit,” Erlich says. Jared complies. “Okay, now exhale.” Jared blows out a puff of smoke. “Again.”

He repeats the action several times, then hands the pipe back to Erlich just as his head starts feeling cotton-wool-y. Erlich takes a few puffs, then puts the pipe and lighter on the nightstand and lies down next to Jared.

“How do you feel?” he asks.

“Soft,” Jared whispers. “Like I’m made of clouds and I could just...float away.” His eyelids grow heavy, and he closes them. 

He feels Erlich press a tender kiss to his temple and squeeze him tightly. 

“Sleep well, honey. I love you.”

Right!! Like obviously Richard wouldn’t notice but you’d think at least Gilf or Dinesh would.

There’s also that scene where they all split a giant non-alcoholic margarita which Erlich probably ordered so that Jared could feel included and that is the sweetest thing.
