Raegon and Steve claim their 17-year- old daughter, Maya, has become a belligerent, violent, pot smoking, school-skipping teen who is spiraling out of control. They say Maya's downward spiral started five years ago when she caught Raegon cheating with Steve's best friend, the man his children called "Uncle Craig." They say Maya is not only acting out but has given her mother an ultimatum: Craig or her children. Maya says Craig is an "evil parasite" who "wrecked" her family and she will do anything to make his life a living hell. Craig says it's not his fault he fell in love, and then moved in with his best friend's wife. He says Maya needs to stop blaming him for her destructive behavior and take accountability for her actions. Can Dr. Phil bring this family together?

Michele says she had no idea that after her daughter, Stephanie, dropped out of college she would still be financially supporting her nine years later, preventing her from exploring her own passions like living in Hawaii and studying marine biology. Stephanie says that even though her mother allows her to live at home and mostly pays for everything – including the boxed wines she drinks daily – she is overbearing, suffocating and even calls her names like "useless" and a "worthless waste of a life." Stephanie says in order to get sober, she must figure out a way to escape the co-dependent and toxic relationship she has with her mother who she gets into blow-up arguments with daily.
