Her return is charged with both anticipation and underlying tensions, as family members greet her warmly but harbor doubts about her claims of sobriety.

Krisha tries to mend her strained relationship with her son, Trey, but her attempts are met with coldness and defensiveness. The situation escalates into a painful confrontation, culminating in Trey walking away from her, leaving Krisha distressed and heartbroken.

As the day progresses, family members express divided opinions regarding Krisha's transformation. While Robyn holds on to hope about Krisha's recovery, others, particularly Doyle, remain skeptical and dismiss her claims of sobriety as mere words.

Krisha's elderly mother arrives, adding to Krisha's emotional turmoil. Despite recognizing most family members, she struggles to recall who Krisha is, deepening Krisha's feelings of abandonment and hurt.

Overwhelmed by the events of the day, Krisha retreats to the bathroom where she succumbs to her old vices. In a desperate attempt to cope, she indulges in alcohol and prescription drugs, contradicting her earlier claims of sobriety.

In a moment of clarity, Krisha watches home videos of a younger Trey, which stirs a wave of emotions within her. This reflection prompts her to reach out to her boyfriend, unleashing a torrent of feelings about her perceived abandonment.

Fueled by anger and betrayal, Krisha leaves a scathing voicemail for her boyfriend, accusing him of abandoning her when she needed him most. This moment encapsulates her feelings of isolation during the family gathering.
