[Amanda] Last season on 1,000-lb Sisters.
I love you.
It's not forever.
[Tammy] I've been in rehab for 14 months,
and it feels real...
[all cheering]
-I love you, baby. -I love you.
You take me shopping every goddamn day, Michael.
Michael gets mad because I want to go out with my family.
-Give her her money. -I ain't giving her [bleep].
You got two seconds to give her the debit card or I'm calling the police.
No, he's got two seconds to get his [bleep]
and get out of my house.
I'm packing me and the boys' [bleep]
and I'm getting out if you want.
Because I'm [bleep] done. I'm getting a [bleep] lawyer.
I'm done.
I want a divorce.
And I'm going to stay with Tammy.
I just need my sister's support right now.
It's the last supper of the fat family.
Amanda and Misty both are getting the surgery now,
which completes the five siblings having the surgery.
Do we got a family discount?
[laughs]
Family vacation!
Before losing the weight, I wasn't able to get on a plane.
Shoot, I could barely fit in a car.
I'll never let go!
Oh, my God. Don't be jealous.
I feel like every day I'm leaving him further behind.
And I'm worried that he's not losing weight.
My emotional eating is spiraling
out of control, to be honest.
-[burps] -[babbles]
[Amy] I didn't mean to.
I appreciate everything my siblings do,
but I feel like I'm constantly getting scolded.
You think you're everybody's goddamn boss, Mandy, but you're not.
Get the [bleep] out of my face, Mandy!
Get your hands off of me!
[bleeping]
Stop!
Go to your room and cool down.
This is the worst I've ever seen Amy lose her [bleep].
[sobs]
[Tammy speaking]
[pastor] And though we mourn his passing,
we celebrate his life, his memory, and his love.
[sobbing]
Today, I am releasing a lantern to end
the chapter in my life and start anew.
One, two, three.
Bye, Caleb.
[Amy burps]
-[burps] -[Chris] Really?
-We going to the farm, y'all. -Going through the farm, y'all.
Yee-haw.
Unfortunately, Amanda has to work, but Misty's coming,
Amy and the babies, myself, Chris, and Brittany.
You gonna drive a tractor?
No promises.
I'll drive.
I'm scared.
[laughs]
Today at the farm, they have tractor races,
and I really want to get Tammy on that tractor.
Ultimately, the goal is to get her behind the wheel
of a vehicle...
We'll see.
Welcome to the farm. [laughs]
One, two.
Oh, Jesus, that's loud.
-[thuds] -[Chris] Oh, she smacked the car!
-You did! it -[Tammy] Yay!
[Amy] So much has changed in the last couple of months.
Go to Aunt Tammy.
Gage will be three in a few weeks,
and Glenn just turned one a couple months ago.
[babbles]
You hungry?
Say eat, eat.
Amy has come a long way in her journey of motherhood.
At the beginning of her divorce,
it was everything she could do to survive a day
with them kids by herself.
As time has gone on and she's found her rhythm,
she's turned into a Betty Crocker.
We're kind of proud of her.
[chuckles] He lickin' you.
Now that the divorce is finalized,
what's next for me is, first off, getting out of Tammy's house.
I've been staying with Timmy for like six or seven months now,
and honestly, it's time for me and the boys to go home.
I don't want to overstay my welcome.
Are y'all ready to wrap it up?
I'm getting pelted with applesauce.
Oh, Lord.
[burps] Excuse me.
[Tammy speaking]
But...
[Chris] Tammy, got a cow friend now?
-Well, it happens in life. -I'm sorry, but he tasted good.
Since I went to rehab, I've lost 400 pounds.
And now that I've lost so much weight,
I'm able to do things I never would have been able to do.
I think people do take the small things for granted.
Ow, ow.
The cow bit me.
Too damn much. [laughs]
And even though my mobility has gotten better,
I kind of have to walk...
I'm not trying to be nasty.
So I'm hoping I'm ready for skin removal surgery.
-Aw! -[goat bleating]
He's a big boy. You want down?
Oh, no, you're scared. There you go, baby.
But it's not just the weight loss.
I really miss him.
That way, it feels like I'm still connected to him
in some way.
And every now and then, if you watch carefully,
my hair will move behind my ear.
But...
[Amy] I want to take Gage over here with the goat.
-[Tammy] Okay. -[Misty] All right.
What is going on, man?
Four months ago, when I seen Dr. Smith, I weighed 299.
He wanted me to get down to 250,
and then he would refer me for skin removal.
Since then, I've lost almost 20 pounds.
I should be getting pretty close to the goal, end goal.
I'm excited to actually get to see a doctor
more than once a year.
In a few weeks, we're all going to go see Dr. Smith.
Just do it all in one go.
-Whoo, he got balls. -Oh, Lord.
He has them.
Amy's starting to see Dr. Smith because...
-Good. -...it's a whole lot closer to home.
[Misty] Yeah.
[Chris] And she can see him three times a year
or four times a year like we do.
-Or however many times we need. -Yeah.
Whatever it takes to get her back on track
-is what she's going to do. -[Misty] Yeah.
Good.
No.
I'm happy with my little flab.
Since I had my surgery, I've lost right around 80 pounds.
I went from a 3X down to anywhere from
a medium to extra large, depending on, you know, the brand.
Even my shoes are loose now because I have a wide,
fat foot, and it's not as wide and fat as it used to be.
I'm hoping Dr. Smith says that I'm...
I'm ready for it. Like, it's embarrassing
to me being seen like this.
I'm insecure about myself, but I don't think
I'd be as insecure as I am now if it wasn't for the skin.
Me and Amy were actually thinking about doing
head-to-toe makeovers. Do our hair and makeup.
-I got one request. -What?
We're both starting different chapters in our lives.
And why not start out with our looks?
So we are going to give each other makeovers.
[Tammy] I'm really excited.
Do a little something you...
Just don't go too slutty.
[Amy snorts]
[Amy] Come here, Gage.
[farts]
-[Tammy] Amy. -I didn't do it, he did it.
Blame it on the kid. We would, too.
[Misty laughing]
So here you are, Tammy.
I had this idea that we would do some tractor races.
That way, it'd be something fun to do
and start working Tammy toward getting behind
the wheel of a car.
Because ultimately, for her to get her independence,
she's going to have to learn how to drive.
I can't keep driving her around.
I'm tired. [bleep, laughs]
[Brittany speaking]
I've never rode one before.
So let me get you up here and figure it out.
[Tammy] This will be my first time driving.
Before I lost all this weight, I wasn't worried about driving
because I couldn't fit behind the wheel.
But now that I can...
So I mean, just imagine how I'm gonna feel
in the driver's seat.
[imitates steering wheel turning] Wreck.
No.
because even though I'm really nervous,
at the same time, I do want my independence.
All right.
When you're ready to take off,
you pull these close in to you, and they almost touch.
Forward is forward.
Backward is backward.
-All right? -Mmm-hmm.
I ain't gonna lie.
I'm a little nervous.
[both laughing]
Y'all ready?
Get set.
[horn toots]
Go!
Whee!
Whoo! Come on!
-[whoops] Yeah! -Yeah!
I won, bitch.
Yeah, who's next to take a whoopin'? Who's at it?
Go for it, Brittany. I got faith in you.
[Tammy] You gonna race me?
-[Brittany] Yeah. -Uh-oh.
[Misty] You gotta turn around.
[engine starts]
[yelps]
Where's she going?
I don't know.
I don't want to. I don't want to.
Chris, your weight was 297 pounds.
-297? -[technician] 297.
That don't make no sense.
There's no ungodly way I gained 15 pounds
in seven days.
Seriously.
Caleb, are you there?
[voice on phone]
[Tammy speaking]
We have to be careful.
I don't want any evil spirits in my house.
[voice on phone]
Where's she going?
I don't know.
I don't want to. I don't want to.
[engine shuts off]
I want off.
I just freaked out and panicked.
And I couldn't figure out how to turn or anything.
I just couldn't.
I couldn't. I was too afraid.
-Are you all right? -No.
[Misty] It was all right.
[sobs]
The tractor race was a step forward
to get her to learn how to drive.
But now that she had this little scare,
she probably went backwards five or six steps.
I really just hope she don't use it as
a half-ass [bleep] excuse not to learn how to drive.
Because I really don't know how much more she can become
independent without a driver's license.
If you ever do graduate to a motor vehicle...
[Tammy speaking]
Nobody's changing my mind about driving.
No.
Since Caleb died, I have more good days than I do bad.
Amy and I have always had a connection to
the spiritual world and have always been kind of...
fascinated with haunted objects.
And I did my research, and I found these dolls.
They are haunted by children and can communicate with
other spirits.
Chrissy was the one I had a connection with.
Like, as soon as my eyes hit her picture,
I started getting chills.
That's never happened to me before.
Hey, bitch.
[Tammy] Hey.
Yeah.
Amy went over to her place this morning to pick up
her haunted dolls, Bonnie and Jacob.
The dolls are here to help us connect to the spirit world.
Hopefully we can connect with Caleb,
see if he comes through.
The way to, like, attract a ghost is like, well,
it depends on, okay, if you send out positive vibes to...
He just moved.
He just moved off my leg.
I'm actually wondering if she feels what I'm feeling right now.
Something's standing behind us.
Named Suzanne?
Sue, Susan? Yeah.
-Yeah. -Like, I mean, like, gray hair.
-And she got, like, a white dress on. -Yes.
And her hair's pulled up, yes.
[hums]
Or dun-dun-dun.
My bad.
What do you think about trying to connect with Caleb
and Chrissy, Annie, and Jacob?
-I don't know how much they're... -Bonnie...
If we ask them, they might.
When Caleb first passed away, I had all kinds of questions.
I had all kinds of things I wanted to say
from where I didn't hate him,
but I was really upset with him for dying on me
and leaving me a widow.
And now I'm like, I can't be mad at him.
It's not his fault.
Right now, I want to, like...
[indistinct voice on phone]
[Tammy] Caleb.
[Amy] Caleb, are you there?
[Amy] Who are we talking to?
Dad?
[Amy speaking]
And when a ghost communicates, it takes all the static
and makes it into words that you can understand.
But...
Some of it's actual names.
So you never know what you're gonna get.
Caleb, are you there?
[voice on phone]
[eerie sound on phone]
We have to be careful because I don't want
any evil spirits in my house.
I don't want to wake up with friggin' Freddy Krueger,
cuts all over me or nothing.
[Amy] Caleb, are you there?
Here I am.
[Amy] Did you hear it?
It sounded like he said "girl."
[Amy speaking]
[Tammy] It's been so long since I've heard his voice.
I swear I heard Caleb say, "I'm here."
It verifies my feelings.
I knew he was there, but now he's telling me, "I'm here.
I haven't left you, I'm here."
Have you talked to Caleb about
your skin removal surgery and all that?
Yeah, he knows everything.
And I feel like with his guidance,
he's helping me continue going through the right path.
[Amy] Today's the day I'm finally doing it.
-Is your walls just [bleep] up? -[Amy] I think so.
The wall matches my mental health.
Unlevel as hell.
Oh! [bleep]
[Amanda] Damn, I hate your [bleep] driveway.
[Amy speaking]
Today's the day I'm finally doing it.
[Amanda speaking]
[Amy snorts]
[Amy speaking]
And I'm bringing Amanda 'cause she is
the stronger sister after all.
[Amanda] Oh, God damn.
Ooh.
Whew, that was a wide load.
It's all turned to flab.
-Oh... -Look at that.
[Amanda] Ain't that precious?
[Amy] Starting a new chapter, I just want to decorate my house...
You know, this house needs to be more me
and the boys instead of me, Michael, and the boys.
Girl, here. Hold on.
Let me help you. Let me help you.
Oh! [bleep]
Damn.
-Is your walls just [bleep] up? -I think so.
Is the whole house leaning like that?
I don't know.
Well, there it is.
We'll fix it later.
[Amanda laughing]
So how do you feel being back home,
knowing that you're a single mom?
It's hard.
Seeing all the memories that happened in this house,
and my brain wants to focus on the bad stuff.
It's just hard for me being back home
after everything went down with Michael.
-Put your hands on me. -Put me out.
-Go ahead. -Put me out this mother [bleep].
Do it.
I dare you.
She don't wanna come back to you ever.
I'm going to!
You can't do it with her gone? That's part of being a dad.
[Amy] Honestly, I feel like I have PTSD.
So when it comes to Michael, I still got a long way to go.
I wanna get rid of these couches.
'Cause they remind me of Michael
and I can't stand 'em, and I want to get rid of 'em.
You're going to have to make new memories here
that shoves the bad ones out.
You don't give yourself enough credit.
You can do this.
Right now, I'm just going to focus on me,
and my mental health, my physical health,
my outer appearance.
Like...
I just want to get some new hair
and get rid of all this excess skin.
Well, girl, we'll be seeing Dr. Smith soon enough.
[Amy] I'm just ready to start a new life,
and I need to have skin removal.
I feel...
So I'm excited to see Dr. Smith,
and hopefully I'll get approved for the skin removal.
Because...
but eventually I'm going to get there.
Eventually I'm going to find a way to love myself.
Just keep it one second at a time.
Yeah. [sniffles]
[yawns]
Really?
[Tammy speaking]
All right, you ready to do this?
[Chris] I'm a-ready as I'll ever be.
I recently heard about this new machine called
the Bod Pod.
It measures body fat more precise than
what they do at the doctor.
So I'm hoping I can take the results back to Dr. Smith
and show him that I am really ready for
skin removal surgery.
Because I've been waiting forever to hear that.
So we have this machine that's going to be able
to use air displacement to actually measure
your body fat percentage.
So if you see this machine right here,
our little spaceship here.
So who wants to go first?
I don't know about this. I'm claustrophobic.
[chuckles]
[Tammy laughs]
[laughing]
[technician] Going down to the bottom of the sea for sure.
[wheezing]
He's gonna kill me.
Chris, that was perfect. So if you want to go ahead and step out.
So what I have for you is predicted about 35.6% body fat.
-35? -35.6.
That's better than what I thought.
[technician] 297 pounds.
-297? -[technician] 297.
That don't make no sense.
Last week I weighed at home on my scale and I weighed 283.
And there's no ungodly way I gained 15 pounds
in seven days.
How'd I gain 15 pounds in a week?
Seriously.
[technician] This is actually a really accurate scale
that goes to the thousandths place.
Chris got a little perturbed with his weight gain.
-[technician] So if you wanna go ahead and sit in there. -Oh, Jesus.
I had a little trouble climbing up into the machine.
I wasn't for sure I was going to fit in it.
I'm still at that mindset that I'm big, big. [chuckles softly]
But then I started feeling claustrophobic.
I'm trying to make eye contact with Chris,
but he's too busy looking at his results.
All right, Tammy, looks like we got it.
So if you want to go ahead and step out, you're more than welcome to.
[technician] Hmm?
[technician] You feel dizzy?
[Chris] I wasn't really paying attention to Tammy
because for me to gain 15, that infuriated me.
I wasn't giving a damn what Tammy was doing in that Bod Pod.
All right, so, Tammy, your results tell me
that you have a 53.6% body fat and you weigh 308 pounds.
Last time I've seen Dr. Smith, I was around 420 pounds.
So I've lost about 100 pounds since nine months ago.
And it's just...
Do you guys have any other questions for me about any of this?
No, and thank you very much for your time.
-It's been very enlightening. -Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, absolutely. You're welcome.
I am really hoping for skin removal,
but now I'm kind of dreading the upcoming appointment
with Dr. Smith.
I don't even really want to go.
It's been so long since I've seen you.
You look so good, Tammy.
[Tammy] Today we're getting makeovers.
Please don't give me no natural color hair.
[chuckles] We'll see.
[Amy] Boys, you want a snack?
And it's going good.
You know, I'm learning to be a single mom
without Tammy or anybody's help.
-Yeah. -You want a five?
Knuckles?
Good job.
Every day has its challenges, but I think I'm doing
exceptionally well.
How does it feel to gain some independence
since I left, like...
I mean, it's fine.
It's what I wanted.
-[laughs] -[imitates chewing]
Ew. No.
Bitch.
[burps] Excuse me. Hello.
-[stylist] Hey. -What's up?
-How are you, dear? -[Amy] Good.
Oh, my God.
It's been so long since I've seen you.
You look so good, Tammy.
[Tammy] Today, we're getting makeovers.
New hair, clothes, whatever.
And I'm so freaking excited.
Getting a makeover for me is very important
because...
and with all the excess skin,
I'm still insecure about myself.
And I want to feel beautiful.
[stylist] So what are you guys here for today?
Just something new.
A new life, new body...
Amy needs a makeover too because she don't do nothing for herself.
Literally blue.
But I think it's, you know, to help her in her confidence
and boost her self-esteem.
I think I'm going to pick Tammy's.
And, Tammy, you want to pick mine?
-Did y'all agree upon this before y'all came? -Yeah.
So you're just going by what you think she should have?
-Yeah. -Okay.
[Amy] Tammy gets to pick my look, and I get to pick her look.
[chuckles] We'll see.
Yellow? Blonde?
No, yellow.
This is orange.
I'm cheese.
[both laughing]
[laughing]
It's so amazing how we've grown over the years.
Some of it has been so hard, like my divorce,
Tammy losing her husband.
It's just been an emotional roller coaster.
But there's endless possibilities out there,
and I can't wait to see what we come up with next.
Are you ready to see what you look like?
[Tammy speaking]
-You sure? All right. -Yeah.
That's a great thing. You look so good, though.
-I love it. -[stylist] You love it?
[Tammy] Amy gave me chestnut with a little highlights for my hair.
But we'll see once I have the outfit on.
I am a little worried.
She might have picked something ho-ish.
'Cause she's a ho.
And she wear ho-ish [bleep].
-You ready to see what you look like? -Yeah.
Dang.
Yeah, I really love it. Thank you.
It looks so pretty.
-That's crazy. -Yes.
It turned out really good.
I love the color.
I'm so glad that bitch didn't give me blonde hair.
I guess she does love me after all.
Don't tell the rest of them.
Okay, ladies, makeover's done.
Come on out and see each other.
[laughs]
Bitch, I should be laughing at you.
[stylist] I think y'all look amazing.
What you laughing at?
Yeah.
-What? -[stylist] She can't help it.
She lost too much weight.
[imitates woof]
But she looks really good.
I don't remember Tammy ever being in a pair of jeans.
So I wanted to see her in a pair of jeans,
and I think she's rocking it.
[snorts]
[stylist] Your hair looks fabulous.
I love the dark brown with the curls.
I like it.
I like it a lot better than the red.
[Tammy] I love my makeover.
Could've been something she would wear.
[Amy] I'm embarrassed because I feel good about myself.
She got me a pair of jeans.
They don't have no rips and tears in them.
And an ugly pink ass jacket, but...
Ow.
[stylist] All right, ladies.
What's the rest of the family going to think?
[chuckles]
There ain't no telling what they're going to say about our makeovers.
-Thank you. -All right, you're welcome.
-Bye, y'all. -Bye, ladies.
-I'll see you guys soon. -[Tammy] Okay.
-[Amy] Hey. -[Amanda] Whoa.
[Chris] Lord help us.
-What's up? -Hey.
How you doing?
You know, I'm hobbling here and hobbling there.
I tore my ACL and my meniscus a week ago.
So today, my siblings are all coming over
to my house because I can't drive.
So Chris is going to drive and take us all up
to see Dr. Smith.
I have to go. It's my six-month post-op.
But to be honest, I don't want to,
because I look at my siblings, and I can see them
just melting away,
like, you know, butter in your hand.
And I can't lie. Like, I'm half-assed jealous,
because I can't see that in myself.
It's boobie.
How you doing?
I'm all right now. But them first three
or four days, man, there was no relief.
I busted my knee swinging on a swing set.
that I was swinging from the chandelier.
It's so stupid, but this is the most excruciating pain
I've ever been in in my entire life.
And to be honest, I'm a little bit hurt
because I definitely don't feel like Amy
and Tammy has showed up for me since I injured my knee
the way that I would do for them.
-Hey. -[Amanda] Whoa.
[Chris] Lord, help us.
Well, we can't call Tammy Red anymore.
Now, what are you, turquoise now or teal or...
What is it, aqua?
-Aqua? -Aqua.
Their hot new makeovers ain't so hot no more.
At least maintain it for 24 hours.
Come on, man.
You look like a mermaid.
[all laughing]
I'm like the Little Mermaid's bad cousin.
[all laughing]
The makeovers were first step in our transition.
The next step is to get skin removal.
That's the last step.
-Oh, yeah. -[snorts]
All right, y'all. Ain't no time like the present.
This is weird, 'cause now the shoe's on the other foot.
One of y'all are crippled and not me.
So today, the whole family's going up
to Dr. Smith's office.
[Tammy speaking]
Jet propulsion.
Amy, one fart and you're walking.
Chris, one fart and you're what?
Tammy, can I pass gas?
'Cause everybody will be dead.
Shut up.
So when we get up here to Dr. Smith's,
what's the order we're going to go in?
Age order or...
Whoever the [bleep] he calls first.
I'll volunteer to go first so I can be the biggest failure.
[Chris] The funny thing is, the other day...
it said that I had gained 15 pounds.
[Misty] Wow.
-Is it a difference between the scales, like-- -[Chris] I don't know.
-Yeah. -Oh.
I'm just going to go to Dr. Smith
because I need this skin removal.
After Amy telling us in the van that she was going
to this appointment with the purpose to be approved
for skin removal, I'm sitting here thinking...
So I really do not see Amy being approved
for skin removal surgery off the get-go.
I'll be pissed if she does.
I got to remember to clean out all my pockets
and all that stuff, you know, because that every little bit adds up.
-And take your shoes off. -Be sure and use the bathroom real good.
I almost blew the back side out of my toilet last night.
Going into this appointment, I don't know what to expect.
But I think Tammy and Chris are super close
to skin removal.
And I do hope all of us get approved.
This appointment can change our whole lives.
