NICK RETURNS TO USING DRUGS AFTER LULU LEAVES HIM, ON "THE GUARDIAN," TUESDAY, JAN. 13

"Beautiful Blue Mystic" -- Nick indulges in a drug-induced high after Lulu moves out, on THE GUARDIAN, Tuesday, Jan. 13 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Mel Damksi directed the episode from a script by Creator and Executive Producer David Hollander.

After Nick confesses to Lulu that he's been having an affair with social worker Suzanne Pell, Lulu decides to move out, causing Nick to indulge in a new hallucinogenic drug. During his self-induced high, Nick imagines that he seeks help at a rehab clinic and meets a drug counselor who is dying of cancer. Meanwhile, Nick's absence from work causes problems with cases he is responsible for at both LSP and Fallin & Fallin.
