s2e5, around 22:45, dale and tim are talking and as dale takes a sip of his drink, a character runs into the scene behind him and vomits in the background. no clear visual but the audio was rough. should be safe once gerry rejoins the scene.

Its a kiss, however it isn't done to perpetuate a stereotype, the character is going through a very emotional identity arc as a bisexual person in the 1980s and its written with care and seriousness.

It's not entirely clear what motivates the incident, but an incident with pills occurs in the first episode after a character is in emotional distress

significant one in episode two that starts around 14:00 and continues intermittently throughout most of the episode. one of the main characters has emotional regulation struggles and gets distraught several times, which shows up as panic much of the time
