Writing an AU where Eric gets admitted into a mental health institute but his therapist is a competent professional that actually does their job.

I always loved the running gag that every adult was a God damn incompetent moron-except for that one guy the kids could always go to when they needed clarification by an adult (chef)-so the kids expect all adults to be easily manipulated and lacking.

But the therapist isn't, and actually helps, and Eric begins to read deeper and deeper into all the horrible things he's experienced and done himself. He becomes more aware and cannot deal so he turns the place upside down, instigates a riot, completely fuck's it up till it's in flames to try and escape but the therapist talks him down from it. Telling him she knows what he wants. He wants to be an equal to his friends, to not be the bad guy cause it's what's expected of him. Change is daunting but not impossible. He can be an equal, he can be Eric.
