The episode started with Amy talking about her arrest and the camel bite, acknowledging that life had become "more crazy than it ever was." She recalled the incident, explaining she carried intoxicants for medical reasons, like her chronic back pain, but was unaware that it did not transfer to other places.

"My medical card didn't cover my a**," she said.

Amy confessed that jail was a "cold and lonely place," where she was only given a mattress on the floor. The 1000-lb Sisters star broke down remembering her time in prison. However, she was hopeful and wanted to keep her mind busy until her court date, which was in a few weeks.

Amy then visited a pharmacy to pick up her antibiotics to treat her camel bite, which she said had become infected and was oozing pus.

In another segment of the 1000-lb Sisters episode, Tammy was shown preparing dinner for her friend, Steven, and his friends. While Tammy looked forward to expanding her friend circle, she admitted she was nervous. She then prepared chicken and Alfredo sauce, which Steven's partner, Bart, was curious about.

While speaking to the cameras, he confessed that he had never seen so much chicken boiling in a "swamp of water." After some more people joined Bart and Steven, Amy expressed that although she was excited about making friends, she felt underconfident about being in public after being enclosed in a house for years.

"I have to try," she added.

The 1000-lb Sisters alum then reminsced about the annual corn parade, saying she was pleased Steven invited her to make a float and be part of the event. She added it was her childhood dream to do so.

Later in the episode, the Slaton family gathered to discuss Amy's arrest, however, Amy seemed uninterested in talking about it, saying it sounded like an "intervention." It eventually led to a confrontation between her and Amanda.

After a furious Amanda left the group, Amy also took her leave. While Tammy understood why Amy might have felt "threatened," she wanted her to "get her act together."

"She didn't even let Amanda finish her sentence before she stormed off," Chris added.

He informed his family that he would become liable for $10,000 if Amy did not appear for court. Consequently, he was determined to convince Amy to follow the protocols.
