April 1, 2005 Spoiler
Here's the spoiler for April 1, 2005. You'll love this great episode!
Robert leaves the next morning. He doesn’t want to but he has to get back. So he will not be there for her graduation.
The gastro doctor calls Bethany and says that her blood work shows low iron and that could be caused by an ulcer. He wants to do the endoscopy thing. Bethany is then talking to Rhonda and says that she is excited to have it done and maybe get some real answers.
All she asks is that Rhonda be right there when she wakes up because the medicine they give makes you have a slight amnesia feel and she is terrified of waking up and not knowing anyone. Otherwise she is ready to go.
Allison is meeting with Iyanla and they have those ugly wig heads there. Iyanla calls them her squatters. Iyanla says that Allison’s most prominent squatter is being worthless. Iyanla asks Allison why did she go through 21 weeks of chemo and 6 weeks of radiation if she thinks she is not worthy of living?
Bethany and Rhonda are at the day surgery and Bethany is excited about having the procedure. Her only concern is that she see Rhonda’s face when she wakes up.
Back to Allison. Iyanla asks her again why did she fight to live and Allison says that she thinks that she did it so that her family wouldn’t have to go through her dying. Iyanla tells Allison that her life is in danger but not from the cancer but from the squatters. She wants her to work on her body image so she is meeting with Marcus today. But she has to take her squatters with her.
Group is led by Iyanla of course since Rhonda and Bethany are at the doctors. Candy is called up to the love seat. Candy has on a new blouse and skirt and Iyanla makes a big deal about her. We see the old self portrait and the new self portrait. Iyanla asks her what her definition of femininity is and Candy says it is to accept yourself for who you really are and let your inner beauty shine through. Iyanla says that since Candy seems to have had a bunch of make-overs already that today Vanessa and Tess are taking her shopping for a fabulous dress and then Rachel and Allison will do her make up. Candy is going to also go get a massage.
We go back to the doctor’s and we see the camera going down Bethany’s throat. Just a little gaggy, not bad and not very long. Then he comes in to recovery room and shows her the pictures he took and tells her that he took several biopsies. He says that he saw a lot of irritation in her stomach and some blood spots. He says that he wants to wait for the biopsy results and that will be in a couple days.
Marcus Alert!!!! Allison works with Marcus a little with her squatters in tow. He says that he is impressed with how well she did.
Vanessa, Tess and Candy go shopping. We see her try on a few dresses and they all agree on this lacy one. It is very nice.
Allison meets with Dr Stan and she has her squatters with her. He says that he wants to ask about the one labeled fat and ugly. He asks her how long she has felt that way and she said since she was a kid.
Candy is getting her massage.
Back to Allison and Dr. Stan. She tells Dr. Stan that her dad was an abusive alcoholic. He was verbally abusive to Allison and she believes he was probably physically abusive to her mom. She said her mom was unable to show her the love she needed. Dr. Stan says that she has got to learn to love her self.
Bethany is back and a little woozy. Rachel helps her down to her room and Bethany shows her the pictures that the doctor took in her stomach. Bethany says that this doctor finding some answers has made her so happy and she is no longer afraid to go to the doctor.
Candy is sitting in a chair and Allison is doing her make up and Rachel is doing her hair.
It is time for Candy’s graduation. She looks wonderful. We see the clips of her stay in the house. Iyanla tells her that it has been an honor to serve her and that she is always just a phone call away. Rhonda says a blip about Candy being ready to graduate. Vanessa tells her that she remembers having a difficult session and that Candy hugged her and just let her cry on her shoulder. She said thanks for her being her friend unconditionally.
Rachel says that they shared a trait that they had both abandoned part of themselves. She tells Candy that she is like a mother to her and she doesn’t tell many people that.
Candy’s gifts are $200 worth of products to pamper herself with. A $200 gift certificate to the hair salon and a $3000 gift certificate from Lowe’s to get work done on her house. Her statue says, “Katrinda, a real woman”
Candy says that the house saved her life. She tells them that she will be there for them all always. We see more clips. When Candy is getting in the limo to leave she says that they have a wedding to come to. (that must be the Las Vegas one!) Iyanla made a wedding comment earlier in the show too.
The show ends with the obligatory shot of the roomie (Vanessa) left behind saying that she hopes her new roommate is as great as Candy.
Previews-
The new hg shows up. Karen shares her painful and shocking story. Iyanla says, “you were willing to give up that part of your life in order to be safe?”
Then voice over says, “Her arrival hits a raw nerve in the house”. Vanessa in group says, “I just have to say something because its just really making me angry.”
A biker comes to the house to deliver a message to Bethany and Vanessa that they are going to be bad girls for the day. Vanessa says that she hopes she doesn’t have to ride a motorcycle because she is afraid of them.
Tension mounts in the house. Tess, Allison and Rachel are sitting at the dining room table and Allison says, “We just need to nip this in the bud, you (meaning Rachel) said something to Tess that was kind of rude.” Tess in confessional saying, “She just shut me down!”
Rachel meets her dad for the first time. Rachel is on the phone saying, “aaaahhhhh!!!! He’s probably waking in right now! I don’t know what to say.” She just drops the phone on the chair and takes off. She does have a big smile on her face. We see Iyanla outside the house as the limo drives up and then we see her walking him in. We just see him for a second from the back. But you can tell he is smiling and so is Iyanla.
