Season 20, Episode 3
Location: Kensington area of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Official Synopsis: Alana is a recovering heroin addict who’s trying to stay sober while maintaining a relationship with her addict boyfriend. Nicole’s fianc ‘s reaction to Nicole getting help throws her whole intervention into question. 28-year-old heroin addict Amanda risks losing custody of her 2-year-old son for good if she can’t get clean. On the eve of Bill’s intervention, his family receives shocking news about Bill.
My Thoughts: This episode really kicked things into high gear didn’t it? Loved the unexpected plot twist that Bill is Alana’s boyfriend. Those two deserve such good things, they’re both really self-aware and caring and you can tell how much they love each other. I so hope it works out for them. Nicole going to treatment on her own was a surprise, I thought for sure she’d hold out for her boyfriend. So happy she went. Amanda’s story looks interesting, but I hope they give us a little more backstory before the intervention. That’s the one thing about these kinds of seasons – they tend to sacrifice the individual histories in favor of community stuff and family dynamics. Which is ok, still a lot to learn, I just want it all.
Date aired: August 20, 2019
Yeah it’s moving better now. I’m a bit surprised they didn’t make this a 7 part series like the Heroin Triangle. Feels like they’re going to have to cram a lot in the last 2 episodes but I am really enjoying this. I was really psyched Nicole went to treatment and apparently her BF was doing good too. Can’t wait for next week.
are there any updates???
