- May 14, 2020
As a former security guard on The Jerry Springer Show, Steve Wilkos has a lot of experience dealing with guests who are looking for answers to their most pressing problems. In the thirteenth season of The Steve Wilkos Show, he continues his role as a mediator between people who have conflicts they can't resolve on their own.
In the 118th episode of season 13, titled "I Don't Believe That's How He Died," Steve welcomes several guests who are all trying to get to the truth of a mysterious death. The episode begins with a woman named Alisha, who is grieving the loss of her son, Austin. Alisha believes that Austin's death was not an accident, but rather a murder that someone is covering up.
According to Alisha, her ex-boyfriend, John, was the last person to see Austin alive. John claims that he and Austin were doing drugs together when Austin suddenly overdosed. However, Alisha is suspicious of John's story and thinks that he might have played a more active role in Austin's death.
To get to the bottom of the situation, Steve brings John out to confront Alisha. John maintains that he did not murder Austin and says that he is just as devastated by the loss as Alisha. However, Alisha points out several inconsistencies in John's story and says that she's seen text messages that suggest John was involved in Austin's death.
As the tension in the studio rises, Steve tries to mediate the conversation between Alisha and John. He asks them both to take a lie detector test to determine who is telling the truth. Although John initially agrees to take the test, he becomes increasingly agitated as the conversation continues.
Finally, John admits that he was involved in Austin's death. He confesses that he and Austin were doing drugs together, but that he panicked when Austin overdosed. Instead of calling for help, John says that he moved Austin to a different room and left him there to die.
Alisha is understandably upset by this revelation, but Steve tries to help her see that John's confession will help her get closure. He reminds her that the truth is always better than living with uncertainty and suspicion.
The rest of the episode focuses on other guests who are facing their own conflicts. One woman comes on the show to confront her ex-husband, who has been accused of sexual abuse by their daughter. Another guest is trying to reconnect with her estranged mother, who abandoned her when she was a child.
Throughout each segment of the show, Steve uses his experience and insight to help each guest work through their problems. He asks tough questions and insists on honesty and accountability from everyone involved. By the end of the episode, several guests have found some measure of closure or resolution, thanks to Steve's guidance.
Overall, "I Don't Believe That's How He Died" is a powerful episode of The Steve Wilkos Show that deals with some tough subject matter. While it's difficult to watch at times, the show's commitment to truth and honesty is a reminder that facing our problems head-on is the only way to move forward.
