Warning: Full spoilers for the episode follow...
Instead of spreading a story out over several weeks like with the Amia/Elevator saga, Louis C.K. aired all three parts of "In the Woods" back-to-back (to back), creating one giant 90-minute block of an extremely great, sad, real-feeling PSA about the dangers of repressed emotions. Sure, I could write "the dangers of marijuana," but that's not what this episode was truly about.
Though, to be fair, there was a PSA/"After School Special"-vibe when the story cut from Louie and his friends Brad (Cory Nichols) and Danny (Oscar Wahlberg) lighting their first joint to weeks later when they'd become full-blown pot heads. As if to say, "Kids, if you do this then this will happen to you." But by the end, it was sort of easy to tell that the story wasn't about the hazards of drug use but instead about the way that young people without any functioning coping mechanisms deal with big changes in their lives. Which, naturally, is why Louie's struggles with drugs directly connected to Lilly's present day story.
