If you need a refresher on how Eddie becomes hooked on painkillers, here's a snappy recap on the entirety that happened to Eddie that led him down this path.
Eddie Saville on A Million Little Things is a complicated persona — to say the least. Eddie is a recovering alcoholic who's been working on his issues whilst seeking to stay his marriage to Katherine alive. While Eddie stops consuming, he ends up dishonest on Katherine with their mutual friend Delilah. While it can be said that Eddie has a excellent heart and that he loves his son (and sure, he does love Katherine), he's were given demons.
At the top of Season 2, issues seem like they might be looking up for Eddie in addition to Katherine. Eddie is at a bar, and he orders a shot from the bartender. He seems on the glass and nearly chugs it — until an older man next to him yells "Take the shot!" but he is yelling at a recreation that's on the TV display, now not at Eddie. This makes Eddie snap out of no matter used to be compelling him to relapse and he abandons the drink, telling the bartender that the old man simply stored his existence.
Coming out of the bar, Eddie calls Katherine, who to start with is anxious Eddie is consuming at a bar. But Eddie is fair along with her and says he isn't, even though he virtually did. He tells her he needs to resume their vows this night, despite the fact that it is just the 2 of them. Right after they inform every other they love every different, Eddie will get struck via a automobile.
And for some time (till Season 3 premiered) we didn't know whether or not or now not Eddie survived. He did, but he wasn't left unscathed.
What happened to Eddie on 'A Million Little Things'?
Eddie relapses after the hit and run. After Eddie comes to in the health facility, we discover that he is paralyzed from the waist down — and that he is in so much of pain. Eddie is prescribed opiates to help with the ache, and unfortunately, Eddie becomes hooked on them. He becomes so dependent on pain killers, that he steals Vicodin from Regina and starts lying to Katherine once more.
David Giuntoli explains to TVLine, (*3*)
David continues, claiming that Eddie in reality does spiral in the beginning of Season 3. "Eddie is spiraling. Eddie is absolutely under the spell of these narcotics and he knows he’s deep into his old habits of addiction. It’s not some place that is new for him to be. This is a situation he’s dealt with in the past, so he recognizes it and he’s terrified. And I think Eddie believes he’s going to lose everything, his entire family, because of what just happened," he says.
Unfortunately for Eddie and Katherine, Eddie feels like he wishes to hide his painkiller dependancy from her as a result of he thinks if she unearths out he is using (even though it in point of fact is for pain), she'll depart him. But it is the lying and sneaking round that in point of fact does him in.
"The biggest breach of trust was that he lied to her. I think Katherine would have been able to handle the news that he was taking these pills because he was in tremendous pain from a trauma — he was hit by a car, I’m not excusing him but it’s not like he started drinking for fun again — so she would have understood that. It’s the idea of hiding it is probably not going to be great for their relationship," David says.
Eddie finally ends up going to rehab, where he recovers — however he and Katherine don't.
A Million Little Things is undoubtedly no longer scared of appearing hard and uncomfortable issues. Whether it is habit, racism, or betrayal, the display doesn't hold again. We'll see what's in store for the characters next season.
Watch the Season 3 finale of A Million Little Things tonight at 9 p.m. EST on ABC.
