In the sixth episode of Oprah: Where Are They Now? season 1, viewers are treated to three inspiring stories of resilience and triumph. The first story focuses on Jani Schofield, a seven-year-old girl who was diagnosed with childhood-onset schizophrenia, an incredibly rare and misunderstood condition. Oprah sits down with Jani's parents who share the struggles they've faced in raising their daughter and the ways in which they've had to adapt their lives to accommodate Jani's disorder.

Next, the show features the incredible weight loss journey of Brian Flemming, a man who once weighed 625 pounds and has managed to lose an incredible 259 pounds through sheer determination and hard work. Oprah catches up with Brian to find out how he managed to turn his life around and the various challenges he's faced along the way, including social stigma and the struggle to keep the weight off.

Finally, the episode culminates in a heartwarming reunion of the cast of Dirty Dancing, one of the most beloved movies of all time. Oprah sits down with the stars of the film, including Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze's widow, Lisa Niemi, to reminisce about the making of the film and the impact it's had on their lives and on pop culture as a whole.

Throughout the episode, viewers are inspired by these three stories of strength and perseverance, and reminded of the power of human resilience in the face of adversity.
