Lori says her handsome nephew, John, went from a high school star athlete to a losing gambler. She claims John has lost every penny he has ever made, has ruined his parents' credit, can't keep a job, and can't provide for his three sons, who are all under 2 years old. John's girlfriend, Sarah, says John is a good dad, but she had to move in with her parents because John doesn't do anything to support his children. John's mom, Shelly, claims John lives in her basement and steals money from her but says she just doesn't have the heart to kick him out. John's older brother Bobby says his mother is a big part of the problem. She pays for all of John's food, doesn't make him pay rent, and John's never even done his own laundry. Lori and Bobby say it's time for John to be held accountable, and it's time for some tough love from Shelly. Can Dr Phil help with this family intervention?

Penny says when she lost her close friend, Glena, she offered comfort to Glena's grief-stricken husband, Glen, but was shocked when he leaned over and tried to kiss her on the day of the memorial service. Within days, Glen says he revealed his true feelings for Penny, but she says she felt like she was betraying her dead friend. Nonetheless, just three months after the funeral, Penny and Glen were married. But Penny also fell ill and claims while she was in the hospital, Glen told her best friend, Paula, that she was dying. Not only that, Penny claims he asked Paula to move in, replace her as a mother to their now 4-year-old daughter, and marry him, which Glen denies. Although Penny survived — she says she doubts her marriage can. Emotions run high when Paula confronts Glen, resulting in him having a panic attack, causing emergency services to rush to the studio.
