Lacey Buckingham and Sharon had a massive falling out

When Lacey Buckingham’s episode began, her partner Ricky was eager to help her navigate the world. The pair reportedly met online and quickly fell in love. However, Ricky’s sister Sharon grew suspicious of Lacey over time.

Sharon felt that Lacey was taking advantage of her brother’s kindness. The situation only escalated once the three made the trip to Texas to see Dr. Now.

On the journey, Sharon and Ricky discovered that Lacey hadn’t been completely honest with them. They didn’t feel that she was committed to making changes in her life and had taken advantage of them. After an explosive argument, Lacey called the police on Sharon and Ricky. In turn, they left her on the side of the road.
