Sandy, in preparing to shut down her fourteen year marriage, somehow believes it wise to encourage her daughter to maintain a healthy relationship with Dad despite over a decade of blatant abuse from him.

Sibling Power / Monica's youngest child, the product of a previous marriage, is wondering why her last name is different from her siblings. Sounds like an easy fix, but Monica's ex-husband is deceased and his last name is all that remains. That, and a bit of college money which may bind his daughter to his name.

The pastor at Robin's church believes in "working it out," even when a child is endangered by a psychologically disturbed man. Dr. Laura thinks otherwise, and isn't shy about explaining her own beliefs to Robin.

Bianca was abused as a child and molested by her uncle when she was just 10 years old. Valerie, Bianca's mom, didn't know about the abuse until much later because of a cover-up by Bianca's aunt. Strangely, Bianca's allegiances are primarily with her aunt despite the betrayal and Valerie's plea for understanding.

Girl and Guy Time / Sarah's husband is in need of a major attitude adjustment. He puts their kid in time-out for hours on end, screams profanity at everyone in the house, and who knows what else. Dr. Laura suggests a time-out for Sarah and her child - at Grandma's house - until Daddy can learn to behave.

Deflate Your Big Head / Shelita is dating the world's most incredible man...well...almost. He is in the habit of not paying taxes "just because," and he's otherwise a generally irresponsible person. Dr. Laura talks to Shelita, who is in her 40s, about the consequences of living life with such a man.

Beth wonders whether she overstepped her bounds as a mom by removing her daughter from a university where influences outside the classroom were threatening to derail a good education.
