Iyanla works with Mickey Memphitz Wright, a former hip-hop executive, who lost it all and turned to drugs to numb his pain; it is revealed that the source of Mickey's pain is his father's murder at the hands of the Ku Klux Klan.

Iyanla continues her work with the Mitchell brothers; after a heart-wrenching game of Breakthrough Bingo with their father, she invites their mother and half-sister to the house, asking how a mother of eight can abandon her children.
