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 sits down with the five Mitchell brothers, uncovering decades of guilt and rage among the siblings; abandoned by their parents to the system, it's unclear whether they can see beyond their pain.

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.
