Mama June: Road to Redemption season 6 returned for an all-new dramatic episode on Friday night. Titled Sick and Tired, this week turmoil erupted for June Shannon and her family.

June tested positive for Covid-19 and exposed her family to the virus as well. While everyone was on the road to recovery, Josh's condition worsened and he had to drive himself to the emergency room.

Episode 18 of Mama June: Road to Redemption saw Pumpkin, Josh, Ella and baby Bentley battling Covid. June showed up unannounced at Alana's birthday party and was later told by producers that she had tested positive for the virus. They also informed Pumpkin and her family about the same.

Jessica, Alana, Dralin - Alana's boyfriend, Doe Doe Shannon and her daughter tested negative. However, Pumpkin, Josh, Ella and one-month-old Bentley tested positive for the virus and had to quarantine themselves.

During his confessional, Josh shared:

"June has come and fu**ed it up again people. And it amazes me at the stupidity. It's not safe for my newborn child in the house. It's not safe for my three-year-old. God forbid Alana catch it. People are dying from this sh*t and June will skate by like she always does."

Pumpkin said that because of June's carelessness, Josh had to miss a couple of weeks of work and said that due to this, the bills have been piling up. At the same time, Alana also had to miss two weeks of school.

While June's condition wasn't that bad, Josh and the kids were having a hard time. The Mama June: Road to Redemption star shared that she had to give Ella and Bentley breathing treatment. She added that Bentley was coughing and wheezing while Ella wasn't eating much.

However, the one person that Covid affected the most was Josh. He couldn't get out of bed or eat. His condition worsened and he wasn't able to breathe properly and kept coughing and he had to drive himself to the emergency room. Doctors later revealed that Josh was suffering from secondary pneumonia due to Covid.

Eventually, the family recovered and tested negative for Covid-19. Fans who watched the episode took to social media to claim that they felt bad for Josh.
