The saga continues! In Part 2, the family heads to Minneapolis for a second, life-saving kidney transplant, but the medical drama is just the beginning. While Mom is donating a kidney to a two-year-old Sandra, Dad is having a father-son bonding day at the movies.

Get ready for another dose of dark humor and dysfunction as we cover:

The successful transplant, which came with a surgical souvenir—a sponge left inside Mom.

Dad's first real encounter with his glaucoma while trying to navigate a dark movie theater to see Mrs. Doubtfire.

Sandra's most tragic childhood memory: being denied the joy of a Snoopy bounce house at the Mall of America post-surgery.

The behemoth at-home dialysis machine that looked like a '90s entertainment center and the mystery of how it got into their poorly constructed, foreclosure-special house.

The mysterious death of Uncle Troy, the official story vs. the grim reality, and Uncle Dale's wild conspiracy theory that his friends staged the whole thing.

Ryan's side hustle as a gravedigger and the time he unearthed a buried Igloo cooler that was being used as a makeshift coffin.

The final nail in the coffin: With the family distracted, Dad relapses, and Uncle Dale introduces him to crack cocaine, kickstarting the end of their parents' marriage.
