05x03 - Well-Done and Over With

[bunniefuu]

[Chris] Previously
on 1000-lb Sisters...

[Amy] Being here with Tammy
is feeling like old times.

[grunting]

[Amy speaking]

[Tammy] You got two children

and I thought you knew
how to handle a pickle.

She's a b*tch, I'm a h*.

We gonna pin the trach.

Pin the trach on Tammy.

[laughter]

They do.

[Amanda] I almost
got it in the mouth.

[Misty] That chicken is spicy.

I look like
I'm eating for two.

I'm making sure
everything at the party

food-wise
is healthy because...

[Tammy speaking]

So, how's it been
without Tammy?

You miss her?

Man, I ain't gonna lie,
it's rough.

I know I've gotta crack
down on this weight,

but now that Tammy's
not here to help...

[Caleb speaking]

[Tammy speaking]

[Amanda] He is a dad.

He should be able
to watch both of his kids.

Well, that's [bleep].

Michael gets mad
because I wanna go out
with my family.

-I don't care if you--
-You take her shopping every
g*dd*mn day, Michael!

Give her her money.

You got two seconds
to give her the debit card

-or I call the police.
-No, he's got two seconds
to get his [bleep]

get out of my house!

Give her her debit card
right now and leave.

[Tammy speaking]

Get out of my...
You get out of my house.

Make me.

Put me out this [bleep].
Do it.

[Michael speaking]

-Put me... I didn't touch you.
-Listen, listen.

Do it. I [bleep] dare you.

She don't wanna come
back to you ever.

I told you--

You can't do it
with her gone?

That's part of being a dad.

Now, shut up and give
her her [bleep] card.

-Hold on one second.
-[Amanda] Tammy, here.

Give the address
and just tell 'em to come.

-That is her belongings...
-Yes, ma'am.

-not yours.
-It's over in the west end.

Just help. Thank you.

The police are coming
and you're gonna be--

the one to be escorted

off the property,
not none of us.

Give her her stuff!

I will give her her card
as long she comes back home.

[Amanda] Give it to her!

[Amanda] You're not gonna be
alone with her.

[Michael speaking]

I'm not in your face.
You keep walking towards me.

If she wants to be left alone,
leave her alone.

[Michael speaking]

I'm done, Michael.

We are getting divorced
'cause I'm done.

I'm right here
in the kitchen and I--

[Amy] When I wanna go
with my family and you--

[Michael speaking]

But the problem is you're
lying about it, Michael,

because you get mad about it.

-[Michael speaking]
-Yes, it causes a fight every
[bleep] time, Michael.

What about last time?

And the time before that,
and the time before that,

-and the time after that?
-[Michael speaking]

[Amy] I'm so tired of being...

Just you and me,
you and me, you know, it...

-They're on the way.
-...can't be just
me and you.

I need some other
interactions.

All I interact
with is you and the kids.

-That's it.
-[Michael speaking]

Well, we're gonna separate
for a while 'cause I'm done.

-I need some space
to clear up my head.
-[Michael speaking]

This was the final straw
for me. I'm done.

I'm stepping out.

Can't deal.

Where's Misty?
Let me get a cigarette.

Where she at?
Give me a cigarette.

At this point,
I just need something
to take the edge off.

But Misty and I have
to be nicotine-free

before Dr. Smith will
approve us for surgery.

I was doing pretty
good up until today,

and then with all this stress,

quitting smoking is not
on the plate right now, honey.

Hi, how you doing?

Listen, my sister's wanting
to leave with her two kids.

Her husband's
not wanting to let her,

won't give her her debit card.

-Okay.
-He's done been
in my face.

He told me to leave.
I'm not leaving

without my sister
and my nephews.

No, she wants to leave
with them,

that's what I'm saying, so--

He won't give her her
debit cards or nothing.

Yes. Unfortunately.

[Michael speaking]

-She needs a break, Michael.
-[Amy speaking]

[policeman speaking]

Daisy, no.

-Daisy. She won't bite.
-[policeman speaking]

[Tammy] Daisy,
come here. Daisy.

Daisy, no.

[Amy] Just as the police
come in the door,

Michael hands me my card.

How [bleep] convenient.

-[policeman speaking]
-Michael.

-[policeman speaking]
-Halterman.

[policeman] Halterman? Okay.

[policeman speaking]

-[Michael speaking]
-[policeman speaking]

We're just gonna go to,
you know, shopping.

[policeman] Okay. Okay.

-[policeman speaking]
-[Amy] Yeah.

[policeman speaking]

[Michael speaking]

[policeman speaking]

Let's go get you
in the car, bubco.

[dramatic music playing]

[Amy speaking indistinctly]

I didn't even know
Tammy did call the police,

but I'm just
glad she did because...

[Amy speaking]

[Amanda speaking]

[Amanda] It's okay.
We're here.

It's okay.
We're right here together.

-You're okay.
-[Amy speaking]

[Amy speaking]

[Amy] I don't know where
I'm going, I don't know

how long I'm gonna be there,

but I'm getting the hell out.

I don't know how I feel.
I don't know.

I'm just so
[bleep] confused.

There's too much going on
in my life

and it's just too much.

[dramatic music playing]

[mellow music playing]

[Tammy speaking]

[Tammy] After argument
between Amy and Michael,

I volunteered my place
to Amy and the babies

till Amy decides
what she wants to do.

[Amy speaking]

That's kind of a
traumatic experience.

Right now, I'm feeling
all different kinds
of [bleep].

I just don't know
how to process.

[Amy speaking]

Like, is it all my fault?

It was.

He's trying to brainwash you

and to believe in [bleep]
that's not true.

If he told you this
guy was yellow, he...

You had to believe him.

Yes.

Can I be honest?

I really
don't see him changing

and I hate that for you.

[Amy] I gotta do something.

These boys deserve better.

You deserve better.

I guess I was trying
to hold on so tight...

I don't know.

I don't...

[Amy speaking]

[sobbing]

I know this hurts,
believe me.

My heart is [bleep]
crushed for you

and these babies.

[Amy speaking]

[Tammy] You're not
doing this on your own.

Any big decisions
right this second.

You'll be the baby daddy.

[laughs]

I still love him.

But I don't know if I still
love him as a husband

or as a father to my sons?

That might be what you
will need to figure out.

[Misty] Oh, hell no.

If we don't
pass that nicotine test,

then we can't get
approved for surgery.

So I definitely need
to sweat out that nicotine.

[Chris]
With Amy at your house,

how long you all are gonna
be able to live together

without knock-down-drag-out?

I have no idea.

The kids and Amy have been
staying here with me.

Oh, my gosh.

And I'm stressed out.

You got a lot going on, baby.

[Tammy]
I'm feeling overwhelmed.

[dramatic music playing]

[country music playing]

Gage, we're gonna
go this way.

This room is off
limits right now, son.

No, we're gonna
go this way.

It's been two days
since I walked out on Michael

and came
to live with Tammy.

Who knew years
ago I would take you in,

and then years down the line,

you would have to take me
and my boys in?

[Amy speaking]

Ain't that what I said?

[Tammy snorts]

Oh, my goodness.

He's exhausting.

I know.

[Gage babbling]

Hello?

Amanda, we're in the kitchen.

[Amanda] The other day,
when me and Tammy

took Amy
and the boys with us,

Amy was really struggling.

So, today,
I'm here to put eyes on

the kids and her and just make
sure that they're okay.

Come here, honey.

Oh, it's okay.

[Amanda speaking]

I know you are.

But, hey, I went
to the store

and I picked up
these face masks

because you've been crying.

So, I got these.

That's exfoliating,
relaxing, hydrating.

Amy's face just stays
puffy and, you know,

she's just always looking
like she's walking around

crying all the time.

I mean, well,
because she pretty much is.

So, today, I just
brought over some masks

and gonna try and get her
to put a smile on her face.

[Tammy speaking]

-[Amanda] What the hell?
-I know.

[Amanda] That looks
like a used condom.

It feels like one too.

[Tammy] Ew.

It almost reminded me
of aloe vera, the texture,

like snot or, you know,
they say that other things

from a man is good
for your skin, they say.

[clears throat]

[laughter]

[Amy speaking]

Well, you got
the right hair color for it.

It's definitely nice to see
a smile on Amy's face.

And I'm just...
I just wanted to remind her

that she's gonna feel
a lot of different things and,

um, and it's okay to feel
however she feels, you know,

just as long as she don't
stay there for too long.

We just want you to know
that we are here for you

regardless of
what you decide.

In my heart...

I told him over
and over and over again,

"If you don't change,
I'm gonna leave."

[Amy speaking]

I just wanna be happy.

If you are looking
to get a divorce,

I know several attorneys

that are well-equipped
to handle this situation.

[Tammy speaking]

And he could
possibly withdraw

all her money and leave
her with nothing.

I don't know if Michael
would be that dirty.

...you never know what
they're capable of doing.

We'll be there for you
every step of the way.

And these boys will want
for nothing, honey.

Nothing.

[pensive music playing]

I support Amy 100%,

but I have a lot going
on in my life too.

I'm trying to adjust
to taking care of myself

and just missing my husband.

And in a few days,
Chris and I are going down

to Lexington
to see Dr. Smith,

so I have to prioritize
my goals, my health,

but also be
there for my sister.

Hopefully, I figure out
a way

to come up
with a decent balance.

You're not alone.

You have us.
We're not going away.

[dramatic music playing]

[Chris] Here we are, Tammy.
Let's get it.

Now, do you want
your wheelchair

-or do you want just
the walkers?
-The walker.

[Chris] That's it?
You don't want to chair
right this minute?

Okay.

It's been a few days
since [bleep] has hit the fan

between Amy and Michael.

I really don't know
exactly what happened

at Amy's house the other day,

but Michael was just not
pulling his own weight

as being a father here.

And that's not
[bleep] cool. Period.

I need to check on Amy soon
to make sure she's okay.

But that'll have to wait.

Today, me and Tammy
have an appointment

with Dr. Smith
that we can't put off.

All right.
One step at a time, baby girl.

Let's get it.

This is the first time

Dr. Smith has seen me
in person...

[Tammy speaking]

Oh, my goodness.

[Tammy giggles]

You look amazing!

Oh, my gosh!

Ah, it's so good to see you.

[Tammy]
Good to see you, too.

-[Dr. Smith] Hey, bud.
-Hey, Dr. Smith.

-How you doing?
-[Dr. Smith] How are you?

Good to see you.
I'm good. I'm good.

-[Dr. Smith] You look great.
-Thank you.

All right.
You guys have a seat.

The coolest thing about
when I saw Tammy

was she obviously had

noticeably dropped
a lot of weight.

And she had a huge
smile on her face.

Today, for Tammy,
I'm hoping to see definitely

over a 100-pound
weight loss

since surgery.

With Chris, he's interested

in having some skin removal.

But we really need
to find out is it time

or does he need to try to lose
a little bit more weight

so he can benefit the most
from having plastic surgery?

You look amazing.

-How do you feel?
-Great.

Good.

I'm a married woman now.

Married?

Yeah.

[Tammy speaking]

[Dr. Smith] Oh, my gosh!

What brought
you all together?

I don't know.
I just like
his personality.

I like that he is devoted
on getting, you know,

weight loss
and his trach out.

When he first got
to the rehab back last April,

he was in and out
of the hospitals.

So, our story is, like,
everything is similar, like...

-Right.
-You know,
he wants to start

-seeing you...
-[Dr. Smith] Okay.

[Dr. Smith]
We'll make that happen.

We'll do whatever
we can to help him.

Tammy caught
me off-guard today

and surprised me to let me
know that she was married.

She seems
so happy about it.

My hope is this is someone
that may be a really positive

influence in her life.

All right.

Why don't we get you
up here on the scale?

I wanna weigh both of you,

but I'm gonna
do you first, okay?

Weigh us together.
No, I'm just kidding.

-[Dr. Smith laughs]
-[Chris speaking]

[laughter]

[Dr. Smith] It might be.
It might be.

You never know.

All right.

[Tammy speaking]

Back then,
Dr. Smith told me

I have six months
to lose 100 pounds.

[Dr. Smith] Four hundred
and twenty pounds.

Damn good job, Tammy.
I'm proud of you.

[Dr. Smith] Did you ever
think you would see the day

of 420 pounds?

[Tammy speaking]

It's mind-blowing.

I freaking really did this.

I don't want you to be
scared to see

what's possible beyond this.

In another six months total,
so that's your year,

I can expect you
to be around 318 pounds.

That 100 pounds
will be harder

than the first


-Okay.
-He can vouch for that.

Don't get discouraged by it.

Keep doing the right things
and be honest with yourself.

What other question
do you have for me?

-[Tammy chuckles]
-[Dr. Smith] We good?

-You look great.
-Thank you.

[Dr. Smith]
The smile is the best part.

All right, Chris.

Let's see where
you are, okay?

[Chris]
The last time I weighed

for Dr. Smith six months ago,

I was pretty close
to 300 pounds.

Under 300,
take it any day
of the week.

I wanna start looking
into some kind of skin removal

because I got quite
a bit of it.

You probably have another


[Chris] I haven't stepped on
this scale in a long time.

So, I really don't know
exactly how much I weigh.

You're 300 pounds,
right on the mark.

I'm worried about Chris
following my rules.

It's easy
to become complacent

and he's probably having
a tough time sticking
with the diet

or incorporating some good
types of healthy exercise.

So, plateaus
aren't uncommon,

especially when we see
somebody who gets a year,

a year and half out
from surgery.

But that doesn't mean
you can't lose weight

for the rest of your life
if you could do right things.

We need to help break you
through that plateau.

So, what I want you to do
is work really hard

to get that
extra 50 pounds off.

[Chris]
It really [bleep] sucks.

Tammy's doing great
and I kinda feel

like I'm standing still...

The weight loss
comes so easy at first.

And then, 18 months out,
it slows or stops,

but if I don't do
whatever it takes

so I can qualify
for skin removal surgery,

I'm never gonna be able
to complete my journey.

[Amanda] I kinda feel
like Thelma and Louise.

[Amy] Right?

[Amy speaking]

[Amanda speaking]

I don't think so.

b*tch, I was talking
about a robbery mask.

-Get out of the car.
-Oh.

[laughs]

[country music playing]

[Amanda speaking]

[Amy] Am I being a b*tch by
going in there and get money?

[Amanda] No, because you're
not taking it all,

you're gonna leave him
something.

[Amy] Me and Michael
have a joint account,

but it's mostly
just my money.

So, I'm going
into the bank today

because I wanna get some money
for me and the boys

to start over.

Right.

[Amanda] And, uh...

[laughs]

I had no problem
with Michael

until he started in with
being so possessive over you.

Like, he kept saying,
"That's my wife.

That's my wife."

Well, if we wanna play it
that way,

"That's my sister.

She was my sister
before she was your wife."

[Amy speaking]

I just feel trapped.

I feel like I've been boxed
and feel like I'm a mime.

Mime.

-No, but I understand...
-If we were turned around
it would.

-...where you're going.
-Okay. [laughs]

I understand
where you're going though.

...and see what we need to do
to rob this [bleep].

Yeah.

b*tch, I was talking
about a robbery mask.

-Get out of the car.
-Oh.

-[Amy speaking]
-Golly.

No, girl.

I'm just being cautious.

I'm just looking
and my head is on a swivel

just to see who is around.

I was just like,
"Don't panic.

Don't panic. Don't panic.
Quit shaking."

[Amy] Morning.

[bank teller speaking]

[Amanda speaking]

[bank teller speaking]

[Amy speaking]

[bank teller speaking]

[Amanda speaking]

[bank teller speaking]

[Amy] Thank you so much
for being here.

-I don't think
I could have...
-It's all right.

...gone through with it
without you.

[Amanda] That's what we do.

And it'll always be
that way.

You don't ever have
to worry about that.

You're all right.

Did you just snot
on my shirt?

[laughs]

b*tch. [gags]

I kinda feel like
Thelma and Louise.

I don't know.
I'm the boss a*s b*tch.

-I'm the one with Earl.
-I think you's the softie.

-You know, Earl had to die?
-Well, Earl had to die.

Yeah.

[laughter]

[country music playing]

[Amanda speaking]

[Misty speaking]

After the big blow up
at Amy's house the other day,

me and Misty
snuck a couple cigarettes

and definitely need
to sweat out that nicotine.

Well, I got my PhD
from the internet.

So, I read it on the internet.

The sweating helps get
nicotine out of your system.

It might be [bleep],

but we're willing
to try anything

because in a few days,
Misty and I will be going

to see Dr. Smith

to have a nicotine test.

And if we don't pass
that nicotine screen,

then we can't get approved
for surgery.

[Amanda]
Do you need a help up there?

-[Chris laughs]
-[Amanda] That's awful high.

Since you all got to,
you know, sweat it out,

the only good way
is the gold old bag method.

[Chris] All the way
through high school,

wrestling practice,
football practice,

when you had to sweat
to cut weight,

coach told you
to get a trash bag

and put it on
and start sweating.

Get ready, b*tches.
Y'all gonna sweat today.

[Tammy speaking]

Put your [bleep]
trash bag on, h*.

[Tammy speaking]

[Amanda]
We all need to lose weight.

You all gotta lose
y'all's weight

to meet y'all's goals.

Why can't we all meet
our goals together?

-[Tammy] I meeting my goals.
-You're eating your goals?

-[Tammy] No, meeting.
-[Chris] Yeah. Yeah.

[Amanda] Shut up, huh.

[Misty]
I thought she said eating too.

...I guess even if it is
a trash bag...

But I'ma put that b*tch
on and work it, baby.

[laughs]

[Amanda] Look at...

[laughs]

[Misty] Oh, hell no.

[Amanda] Oh, and you don't?

Chris gave me a trash bag
and it looked like

a doggone
evening gown on me.

I'm 5'11" and it still
touched my shoes.

Misty's was dragging
the floor.

He must've got 55-gallon
plus bags.

Tammy got the same
problem. Look.

[Amanda laughs]

[Misty]
You're shorter than I am.

[Chris] Is that, Tammy?

[Amanda] Like they look
dumb as hell.

But it is what it is.

You know,
we gotta get it in

where we can fit it in,
I guess.

[Amanda speaking]

[Misty] Mmm-hmm.

Hi.

[Grant] How is
it going, guys?

-[Tammy] Good.
-I love the trash bags.

Haven't seen that
since I was in high school

-with the... With the...
-[Chris speaking]

...wrestlers and everything.

[Chris speaking]

[Grant] So, are you guys ready
to get a good sweat going on?

-I guess.
-Yeah.

[Grant] I like that.

[Tammy] Yeah, I don't like
working out.

But it's better
having my family around.

We're able to laugh
and cut up,

and tease each other.

[laughs]

[Grant] All right, guys.
We're gonna get started

in three, two, one, start.

Tammy, great job. Great job.

Keep that core
nice and tight.

You feel that burn
in the arms already?

[Tammy] I was
just really waiting

for one of them
to bend over and fart.

[Amanda] Get it, Tam-Tam.

It's extremely exciting
to see Tammy

keeping up with all of us
in the gym.

You know,
a little over a year ago,

Tammy was pretty much
on her deathbed.

Plus, we were really worried
about Tammy

when she left rehab

because she had to leave
Caleb up there.

So, now, to see her
in the gym working out

and keeping up
with all of us, it's a...

It's a huge blessing.

[Grant] Two, one, done.

Great job. Great job.

[Amanda] Tammy, you about
to bust out that bag

like a busted can
of biscuits.

[Tammy] Y'all, leave me alone.
At least I'm fitting in it.

-Hey, you got that right.
-Before now, I couldn't.

Fist bump with it.

Whew.

I'm tired, y'all,
I ain't gonna lie.

[Amanda] I'm gonna be honest.

I really enjoy
working out with you all.

[Chris] We really need
to get Amy in on-board too.

[Amanda] Agreed.

[Chris] I ain't talked to Amy
too much about anything.

How you doing with her
moving her a*s in with you?

[Tammy]
I don't get much sleep,

but I enjoy
having them there.

I'm extremely proud
of the way Tammy has picked up

and stood up for the family.

Now, what I'm worried about,
is it being too much for her?

'Cause she is enduring
a lot of change

in her life right now too.

How long y'all gonna be
able to live together

without knock-down-drag-out?

I have no idea.

[Amanda] The plan for surgery
if we're approved

is for Chris
to come with us.

Are you and Amy gonna be okay
down here by yourselves?

[Tammy speaking]

[Amanda] I'm just feeling
stressed out and overwhelmed.

On one hand,
after this workout,

I hope and pray to God
there ain't no more nicotine

left in my system.

Hoping and praying
we get in there and...

It will be really,
really depressing

if we didn't pass it.

[Amanda] And if we
do get approved,

I'm worried about
being gone for surgery

with everything Amy
has going on with Michael.

I'm just afraid
that something might happen

and may not be there
to take care of it.

You can throw
your own sweaty a*s bag away.

[Misty] Really?

a*s.

Hey, Caleb,
how are you, man?

[Caleb] Next time
I talk to Tammy,

I'd like to be able to say,

"Hey, this trach
is coming out,

surgery is on the table,

I'm coming home."

[Dr. Smith] The one thing
that I want you to know is...

What the [bleep].

[instrumental music playing]

[woman speaking]

Normally, I'll trust you,

but I don't trust you
when it come to cards.

Only woman I trust
is my wife.

It's been two weeks
since Tammy's left rehab

and I can't tell you
how much I miss my wife.

...surgery is on the table.

Hey, I'm coming home."

Hey, Caleb,
how are you, man?

Hey, how's it going,
Dr. Smith?

-Nice to finally meet you.
-I'm good.

Yeah, it's great
to meet you too.

Well, tell me a little bit

about why are you interested
in weight loss surgery.

I want to fulfill the rest
of the dreams and plans

that not only I have
for myself

but for Tammy and I
as a family.

[Dr. Smith] Sure.

Well, those are great reasons.

Would you be able to weigh
for me today?

All right.

-Time for the big reveal.
-All right.

[Caleb] Hey.

When Tammy left,
I weighed about 500 pounds.

Unfortunately,
since she's left,

I've been
emotionally eating.

Lately, I tried things
such as skipping breakfast.

But this weigh-in
with Dr. Smith

kinda has my nerves
on edge.

[suspenseful music playing]

[machine beeping]

Not only did I go up,
I went up 37 pounds.

I skipped meals
for God's sake.

What the [bleep].

[Dr. Smith] Okay.

So, um, I can tell you're
disappointed and I understand,

but don't lose sight of

you have one
of the best examples

of what is attainable.

Tammy ate
from the same food sources

that you're eating from

and look how far she came

with the amount of weight
that she lost.

If you can get
to 500 pounds...

Mmm-hmm.

[Dr. Smith] I think
we could look at surgery.

Caleb has gained weight
since Tammy left.

There's a lot
of emotional issues

that are involved with that,

so I'm not surprised
by that.

But I'm also concerned
about what do we need to do

to get him back
to where he was.

The one other thing
that I want you to know

is you're probably
gonna need to keep the trach

for a period of time
after the surgery.

Caleb's probably gonna
need to go back
to rehab afterwards

for six months

or even longer to work
on getting the trach out,

so eventually
we can get him back to Tammy.

Caleb's got
a long road ahead of us,

but we can get him there.

I can tell that that's a
little disappointing to hear.

[Caleb speaking]

I want you to work
towards getting back to 500.

We're gonna work
through this together.

That's what I want you
to know.

I just have to realize
slow and steady wins the race

and good things
are worth waiting for.

But I'm very nervous

to tell Tammy
what Dr. Smith said.

[Amy]
What's Mommy got for you?

Hippity-hoppity,
hippity-hoppity.

[laughing]

Aunt Tammy's house
is a w*r zone, son.

I only planned
on staying a couple days,

but honestly, I don't wanna
go back to that house.

Yesterday, I called Michael
and I told him,

"I'm done, I want a divorce,"

and that's all I said to him
and I hung up.

So, until my divorce
is finalized,

I think I'm gonna stay
with Tammy.

I just need my sister's
support right now.

[Tammy] Ready? Set, go.

-[Gage babbling]
-[imitates Gage]

[Tammy] I know Amy needs me.

So I'm trying my best
to support her.

And I love them boys.

But I never imagined
being at home

and living with Amy
instead of my husband.

It's just... It's a lot.

[Amy] So, how are you doing?

I'm good.

Tired, but I'm good.

All right. You went from...

a nursing home to chaos.

I'm used to them every day.
You're not.

[Tammy] That don't
mean nothing.

All I ask is you help clean up
after your kids.

[Amy speaking]

And yourself.

I think I'm try...
I'm doing the best.

that I could. I mean...

[Tammy] I'm not just tired
because of babies.

I'm...

I just don't sleep much now
since I left Caleb.

Every day is a different
battle with missing Caleb.

But I'm really trying
to hold things together

on the outside

and just put my feelings
aside for my family.

And that's probably
one of my problems

because I'm not dealing
with my own [bleep].

I talked with Dr. Smith.

[Tammy] It sucks.

I was hoping
Dr. Smith told Caleb

that he's lost enough weight
to have surgery.

It's not the worst part
of the conversation.

[instrumental music playing]

[phone ringing]

-Hello?
-[Caleb] Hey, baby.

Look at you.

You got my favorite
sweater on.

Yup.

Oh, I'm sorry.

You told me
that was a cardigan.

[laughs]

[Tammy speaking]

I love you.

[Tammy]
With everything going on,

Caleb and I
haven't talked much.

It's nice knowing
that anytime I call him,

we pick up where we left off.

But now, I need to talk
about the situation

with Amy and the boys.

[over phone] Michael and Amy
are getting divorced.

Oh, my gosh.

And the kids have been...

And Amy have been
staying here with me.

Oh, man.

I'm trying to be there for Amy
whenever she needs me

and as much as she needs me,
but I'm stressed out.

[Caleb speaking]

I'm surprised,

but honestly, I think Amy and
the kids moving in is great.

She's able to be there
for Tammy

and Tammy's able
to be there for her.

But at the same time,
I think that anybody

put in a situation
that Tammy's in right now

is gonna be stressed.

I'm not trying to put pressure
on you either

'cause I know you got
a lot going on, baby.

But I had a big day today.

Mmm-hmm.

I talked with Dr. Smith.

[Tammy] Yeah.

He wants me
to get down to 500.

[Tammy] Mmm-hmm.

And he would feel comfortable
doing the surgery.

...537.

And it's not the worst part
of the conversation.

Not the worst part?

The trach
is gonna have to stay in.

[Tammy] It sucks.

I was hoping
Dr. Smith told Caleb

that he's lost enough weight
to have surgery

and get his trach removed.

It's just I feel like
I have to be strong for him.

We knew
this wasn't gonna be easy

on either one of us.

And that's one thing
I asked you to do

was to promise that you
weren't gonna sit in your room

all day long.

You know, I wanted you
to go hang out with the boys

and to keep your mind
preoccupied, you know.

I eat my freaking feelings.

I'm...

Take your... Take your...

I don't want video games.
I want my wife.

-I just miss you.
-I miss you too.

Believe me, I do.

I mean, one thing at a time,
you know what I mean?

...do what we gotta do.

I am worried about Caleb.

I think he'll let
depression set in

before he hits
rock bottom again

and gets determined
to come home.

I feel guilty...

sad.

I'm numb,
like I don't know
how to feel.

Overwhelmed, stressed out
to save everything.

I'm being strong for Caleb,
Amy, the kids.

[Amy] Come here.

[Chris] Next time
on 1000-lb Sisters...

I'm not fat. I'm P-H-A-T,
Pretty, Hot, and Tempting.

-[man] Whoo!
-[Misty] Is she dreaming?

Okay. Okay.

Me and Tammy are kind of,
like, co-parents right now.

Gage, please stop.

Amy's always
on the verge of tears.

She's always on edge.

[Amy speaking]

Did I do the right thing?

[bleep] you, Michael!

-[bleep] you!
-[Tammy] Yeah.

Get it, b*tch, get it!

She needs to let go
of the anger,

the hurt, the pain.

[glass shattering]

[sobbing]

Don't play no games,
get you a lawyer.

[Amy] That's my next step.

[producer]
Amy, what happened in there?

I don't wanna
[bleep] talk about it.

Hold on.
