She reveals to Dr. Garry that the drinking, steroids and painkillers have taken control of Danny and her house has turned upside down. Dr. Garry confronts Danny off camera and demands that he check into rehab. Danny reluctantly agrees.

Tough LoveIn the first weeks in treatment, the rehab team is attempting to get Danny to come to a healthier place. Not just physically, but mentally as well: Breathing exercises, yoga, spiritual-counseling - anything to get him to slow his mind down. But expectedly, Danny is resisting the program. Fits and tantrums stunt his early progress. Eventually however, Danny begins to warm up to some of their more `new age' methods and he at least attempts to play nice.

Her reinforcement of their commitment sparks a change in Danny. In the coming weeks, he begins to show real signs of progress. Eventually, the rehab staff feels he's ready to see his children. Not a moment to soon for Isabella, who's been acting up and acting out because of how much she misses her daddy.

Will they now live happily ever after?
