A Cute Asphyxiation

A Cute Asphyxiation is the sixteenth episode of the first season on CBS comedy series B Positive and was aired on April 29, 2021.

Summary
Drew and Gina's nascent relationships with cancer patient Adriana and dialysis squad member Eli each hit some snags. Drew runs into turbulence when his efforts to help care for Adriana after her latest chemo treatments are met with her ordering him to go away, and Eli is angry when Gina clues Drew in about Eli's financial woes (this leads to the dialysis group making a nice gesture to buy Eli's eBay-listed Super Bowl ring and give it back to him, which in turns makes Eli feel even worse). Adriana later apologizes to Drew and they get their romance going again, while Eli thanks Gina for her help and tells her he's starting a Seahawks-focused podcast. Elsewhere, Norma wants Gina to come with her on a cruise to Italy, but Gina helps Norma reach out to and successfully invite Norma's own daughter so they can reconcile before it's too late. And Jerry tries to score by flashing the Super Bowl ring--with no takers.
