Episode 1
Phyllis and Janet
Every room in Phyllis' house is packed with dolls. Her obsession has manifested itself into a floor to ceiling collection of bags stuffed with dolls, and a doll hospital in a spare bedroom where she "amputates" the limbs of one doll to make another complete. Now, her son is threatening to call Adult Protective Services if she doesn't get a handle on her compulsion. Janet's home is so hoarded that she has to crawl upon mountains of garbage to get to the one recliner where she eats and sleeps. She's had no running water and no heat for two years and routinely huddles under seven blankets to keep warm. Unable to watch her mother live in such horrid conditions, one of Janet's nine children is threatening to have her committed for her own good.

Ron and Carol
Ron's home is filled from top to bottom with paper -- books, thousands of pages of sheet music, old newspapers, magazines and assorted trash. Rooms are packed full to the door jams and completely inaccessible and piles of papers surround the gas burning stove that he leaves lit to heat the house. Ron must clean his home now or quite possibly die in it. For the last six months Carol has been sleeping in a hoarded truck parked in front of her condemned hoarded house. Her deadlines with the city have come and gone multiple times and now she has been allotted one final week to get everything out.
