The Visit
1 February 2007 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

I think this is a brilliant episode Chris Collet does a great job playing this role.This is a funny and loving episode it tells about how Theo doesn't want to see his friend sick,but he goes because he knows that it would make his friend very happy there is some funny parts in this episode that makes it more fun and less sad that Jake has cancer.This episode is hilarious and heart-warming.It really tells about Theo who wants to go see his friend,but he doesn't want to see him sick so then finally has has enough courage to go to the hospital,but then is afraid to go in,so then the nurse tells Jake he has a visitor there,and so Jake tells her to send him in Theo gets there and begins to start a conversation,but he doesn't say the right things so Jake tells him to act like he's not in the hospital so then they start another conversation then Theo gives him a sub and Theo makes a little joke then the play football then Cliff comes in,and sends Jake to bed and then Cliff takes Theo home.
