Greek Spoilers: Controversial Episode to Come

at .

Greek won't be be exiting the airwaves without courting a bit of controversy.

Creator Sean Smith tells TV Line the sixth episode of his show's final season will tackle a relevant, albeit controversial, topic: the morning-after pill. The incident will take place after a female character gets carried away on Homecoming night.

“I read a lot about it and wanted to make sure that we were accurate and respectful to the circumstances,” Smith says. “I also worked closely with the network, and they have a very strong relationship with the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unwanted Pregnancy, so we all felt comfortable moving forward.

“While this is one of our weightier issues for the show, it’s still the Greek version of it, which I’m really proud of."

Like the Friday Night Lights storyline last year that dealt with abortion, it's always admirable when a series doesn't shy away from a realistic scenario, even when it can create such strong views on both sides of an issue.

Look for this Greek episode to air on February 7.
