In season 6 episode 5 of Hoarding: Buried Alive, titled "What a Pig," viewers are introduced to a woman named Lynn. Lynn's hoarding has spiraled out of control, and she now lives in a house filled with trash, decaying food, and animal waste. Lynn's life revolves around her animals, primarily pigs, whom she has been rescuing and hoarding for years.

In the episode, Lynn's son and daughter-in-law plead with her to clean up the house and get rid of the pigs. They're concerned about her health, as the house is not only unsanitary but also a potential fire hazard. Lynn, however, is resistant to change and insists that her pigs are her everything.

The episode delves into the psychological aspects of Lynn's hoarding disorder. She has a deep attachment to her pigs, seeing them as her family and her reason for living. For her, getting rid of them would mean losing everything. Despite the reality of her situation, Lynn struggles to let go and seeks validation and comfort from her animals.

As the team of cleaning experts arrives to help Lynn declutter her house, the situation becomes more complicated. Removing the pigs causes Lynn to have a breakdown, and she can't bear to part with them. The team works with Lynn to help her understand the severity of her hoarding disorder and the need for a clean and safe living space.

Throughout the episode, we witness the team's tireless efforts to help Lynn clean up the house. Their patience and care serve as a source of inspiration, as they work through the mess and manage to get Lynn to let go of some of the items she's been hoarding for years.

The episode ends on a positive note, with Lynn's house mostly clean and Lynn receiving counseling to address her hoarding tendencies. Her relationship with her family is mended, and she has a newfound understanding of what it means to be a responsible pet owner. Despite the challenges, Lynn's journey serves as an inspiration to those struggling with hoarding disorder.
