TLC’s 1000-lb Sisters returns Tuesday, June 3 at 9 PM ET, and the episode’s title, I’m Going to Police-Fully Duck Out, hints at the potential for avoidance—and maybe an outburst or two. This week, Tammy’s skin removal surgery takes center stage, but even a major medical procedure can’t eclipse the ever-present Slaton family drama.
While Tammy’s under the knife in Pittsburgh, the waiting room back in Kentucky turns into its own hotbed of tension as her siblings clash. Amy, meanwhile, faces a day of reckoning in court, and the weight of legal pressure adds to the physical weight she’s gained—a topic Tammy doesn’t hesitate to bring up, adding fuel to the fire.
The series has never been just about the scale; it’s about the messy, complicated bonds of family under duress. This episode looks set to crank up the heat on both fronts—the medical and the interpersonal—as the Slaton sisters work through weight, wellness, and the kind of sibling friction that can’t be solved with a single surgery.
1000-lb Sisters airs Tuesday at 9:00 PM ET on TLC.
