Baylen Dupree’s life, chronicled on TLC’s “Baylen Out Loud,” is never short on real-life drama. Living with Tourette Syndrome, Baylen faces everyday challenges with remarkable candor and humor, supported by a tight-knit family. This Monday’s episode, “You Don’t Have To Stare Into My Soul,” throws a family vacation into the mix – and with it, a healthy dose of relationship tension.
While Baylen and her parents, Allen and Julie, consult with a neurologist about Deep Brain Stimulation as a potential treatment option, her boyfriend Colin has another kind of stimulation on his mind. He’s ready to propose, but first, he needs to get the blessing of Baylen’s ever-protective father, Allen. Let’s just say, the conversation doesn’t exactly go smoothly. After a covert exchange the journey ahead looks difficult.
“Baylen Out Loud” manages to balance the serious and the lighthearted, capturing the everyday moments of a family dealing with a neurological condition while also celebrating the love and support that binds them. With five siblings, a determined boyfriend, and parents who clearly adore her, Baylen’s story is one of resilience and finding joy amidst the challenges.
Will Colin get the green light? Will the neurologist offer a new path forward for Baylen? Tune in to TLC on Monday, March 3rd at 9:00 PM ET/PT to find out.
