Why this must be read:

Coming out of a coma was never the way they portrayed it on television. It wasn't like waking from some nightmare, eyes wide open, lungs desperately trying to take in air, heart beating a thousand miles an hour as you ask yourself where am I? and what happened?. It wasn't struggling to push the darkness away, searching out the good, thoughts, images, feelings, anything to escape the terror haunting you in that dark abyss of nothingness. And it sure as hell wasn’t eyes prettily fluttering open, awake and conscious and fully functional.

This goes from season one to season three. Subterranean is one of the better stories I've seen that tackles the difficult issue of Justin's bashing and how (if) he dealt with it. Since this wasn't really poked at on the show until the fourth season, I think it's a point towards this story that Tamara can handle Justin's thoughts and pain and confusion, well, better than the show did.
