Marcy and Todd say their 71-year-old mother, Renee, may be married to their stepfather, Harold, but that hasn't stopped her from giving away hundreds of thousands of dollars to an online scammer who Renee says she is in love with. Renee, a retired mortgage banker, says her children live in another state and don't have the first clue about her relationship with "Thomas" or "Tom Nunez Hughs," who is handsome and wealthy but unfortunately is stuck in South Africa. Renee says her boyfriend is the most romantic man she has ever met, even more so than her husband, who she plans to divorce once "Thomas Hughs" returns to the U.S. Marcy and Todd say their mother's obsession has escalated to frightening proportions. Now, Marcy has disinvited her mother to her wedding because Renee is completely absorbed in her relationship with this catfish. And, Todd says he has not spoken to his mother in two years because she only wants money from him to give to her online lover. As Dr. Phil investigates Renee's love life, she learns essential information about "Thomas Nunez Hughs."

Anita says two years ago, after graduating from NYU, her 24-year-old son, Orrin, suddenly announced that he is, and always has been, a mechanized cyborg from the year 2050! Orrin says he's part of a "collective intelligence" who was sent back in time by "higher beings" to warn humanity of the upcoming apocalypse. In order to spread his message, Orrin says he created a hip hop artist persona to gain followers on social media for his cause. Anita says she believes Orrin is using his cyborg persona as an excuse to live in her house and mooch off of her. She says Orrin needs to get a paying job before worrying about the future destruction of humanity. Can Dr. Phil convince Orrin he's not a cyborg, or at the very least, to get a job? Find out!
