Episode 8 of 1000-lb Sisters season 4 aired on TLC on Tuesday, March 7, at 8 pm ET.
In the episode, Tammy was finally supposed to come home after staying in the rehab facility for a year. She was happy that she had undergone weight-loss surgery, which helped her lose 40 pounds within days. However, on the day Tammy had to travel back home, she developed a trach infection and had to extend her stay by 10 more days.
This shocked her family members, who were eagerly waiting for her to return home. The infection made them rethink their decision, as they were unsure if they could handle such a situation at home. Amanda and Amy, who were supposed to become Tammy's caregivers, revealed that they would have to go to the hospital for a week and had to drop everything they had going on.
Amanda revealed that she was still dealing with the aftermath of her divorce and had a kid at home. Amy too had to take care of her two children, including a newborn baby. The family was worried about being unable to give Tammy proper medical help when it came to things like cleaning the trach.
When Chris video-called Tammy to inform her of the situation, she blew up on him and everyone in her family. She claimed that Amanda and Amy had betrayed her, stating that she was leaving rehab next week, regardless of whether her family picks her up or not.
Chris told her that nobody could give her the 24-hour care that she got in the facility, but Tammy kept on screaming and slammed her family for making her stay in rehab in the first place. 1000-lb Sisters fans were shocked by Tammy's behavior towards her family:
