Candace claims that her ex-husband, Miguel, is an absentee father, who abandoned her and their special-needs daughter, Ellie, to be with his new wife, Cynthia. Miguel insists that he wants to see his daughter, but claims he is being kept away by Candace and her mother, Leah. Can Dr. Phil help this family stop fighting? Next, Jerry has been out of his daughter, Kayla's, life for 17 years "by choice”. He went on the run, avoided paying child support, and now lives as a hobo floating down the Mississippi River on a raft. Kayla had no contact with Jerry until a couple of filmmakers decided to make a documentary about his life - They meet on Dr. Phil’s stage. Then, Katlynn, Zach and Amber say their dad, Todd, is a deadbeat who prioritizes everything — his job, his wife and new family — over them. Could Todd be doing more, or is he just getting a bad rap? Next, Trisha and Danielle say they are furious with their father, Ron, who they say abandoned their dying mother -- his wife of 30 years -- to plan a wedding with an alleged Kennedy heiress he met online. The daughters are convinced “Misty Kennedy” is really a catfish, and they want to open their father’s eyes. Finally, In August 2009, Penny’s 40-year-old sister, Shannon, was found dead in her car, at the bottom of a cliff, in what authorities initially believed was a tragic accident but later ruled a homicide. Emotions run high when Penny faces her father, Ted, for the first time in two years and drops a bombshell: She believes he hired a hitman to kill Shannon.
