Howard and Audrey have been married for over 20 years, but their relationship has been plagued by addiction for just as long. Howard, a successful businessman, has struggled with alcoholism for most of his adult life, while Audrey's addiction to painkillers worsened after a car accident left her with chronic pain.

The episode begins with Howard drinking heavily and behaving erratically at a family gathering, causing concern amongst his loved ones. Similarly, Audrey's family worries about her constant need for pain medication and the toll it has taken on her relationships and wellbeing.

Interventionist Jeff Van Vonderen is brought in to help the couple confront their addictions and begin the journey towards recovery. He sets up a meeting with Howard and Audrey's family and friends, where they participate in a group intervention.

As the intervention progresses, Howard and Audrey are forced to confront the reality of their addiction and the damage it has caused. Their loved ones read letters expressing their concern and love while also detailing the negative effects of the addiction, from financial strain to strained relationships.

Both Howard and Audrey initially resist the idea of treatment, but eventually agree to seek help. They are each sent to separate rehab facilities for a 90-day program.

Throughout the episode, viewers see both the struggles and successes of Howard and Audrey's journey towards sobriety. Howard grapples with the emotional root of his addiction and confronts his past traumas. Audrey also works through her pain and learns healthier coping mechanisms.

At the end of their treatment, Howard and Audrey return home to their family. They express gratitude for their newfound sobriety and the support of their loved ones. They both acknowledge the work left to be done and commit to continuing their recovery journey.

Overall, the episode is a raw and emotional portrayal of the ongoing battle against addiction and the power of love and support in the recovery process.
