Where's This Full Episode?

I remember an episode of the Ricki Lake show that similar to this one, but it had three different teenagers involving in different situations. The first team was Eric who thought there was nothing wrong with drinking and driving and he spent a day with a woman who was permanently paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair Because of the same situation. The second teen was named Sophie and she thought there was nothing wrong with having unprotected sex with a lot of guys and she had spent a day with a woman who had that same philosophy, but paid for it by having some STDs and herpes. The third teen was Jeff who enjoyed doing drugs and spent a day with this guy named Avery, and I believe he kind of turned his life around because when he had appeared on stage, he was wearing a suit and tie, and the audience was cheering like crazy.

His name was Ernest, not Eric.

@davewriter100 oh OK, my mistake. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen that episode that I got the names wrong.
