Ep 4. Becky

Becky has collected so many items over the years that they now consume almost every square inch of her house. As the situation became worse, her family started to worry about her mental and physical health. The home is now so cluttered that it has caused infestations and pose threat to Becky's safety. Becky's daughter is concerned for her health and has reached out to the show for help.

When the crew arrives at the house, they find it filled from floor to ceiling with items from various decades. The doors barely open, and the level of hoarding is immediately overwhelming. Becky explains that she has collected so much stuff because she never wanted to be without - she wanted to be prepared for any situation. Throughout the episode, it's clear that Becky has a kind soul but is struggling with some serious hoarding tendencies.

As the clean-up begins, the team works tirelessly to remove mountains of trash so that they can access the rest of the house. They soon discover that the hoarding has intensified far beyond just the cluttered living room. The kitchen is almost completely inoperable, with spoilt food and mold posing health hazards. The bathroom is barely usable, with hoarded items filling every open surface.

As Becky's family works their way through the mess, they discover more and more hidden treasures - old photographs, clothing and even jewelry. But it also means that Becky's home is filled with a whopping amount of dust, grime, and dangerous items like rusty nails and broken glass. Throughout the episode, Becky is often asked to make tough decisions on what to keep and what to discard. Although she struggles with parting with her possessions, Becky eventually starts piecing her life together.

With the help of her family and the crew, Becky can let go of the hoarded items and move towards better habits of decluttering her home. But the road to recovery isn't easy - the cleaning process is as hard emotionally as it is physically for all involved. However, in the end, Becky, her family, and the crew can see a difference in her home and her current state of mind, and everyone is grateful for what can finally be counted as progress towards a better life.

Through this episode, viewers can see how deep-rooted Hoarding tendencies can be and the emotional toll it can take on both the person and those around them, shattering their normal life. Hoarders create messes that require intensive cleaning and often require professional support and guidance for the individual to take back their life. It's a wake-up call for Becky, her family and those watching from home about the serious effects of hoarding and the devastating consequences that arise from not seeking help.
