All about My Big Fat Fabulous Life episode 5

In episode 5 of My Big Fat Fabulous Life, Whitney will be seen helping her mom settle into a senior living community after she is released from rehab. Whitney and her family have been tense about Bab’s condition after her second stroke, but after the recovery, they are relieved and happy to have her back in their life.

However, due to some issues, the family is shifting Babs to the senior living community, where she will be looked after by professionals and will be given various therapies required to sustain a healthy life post-stroke.

Other than this, Whitney will be meeting with a drag queen to throw Ashley a gender reveal party, and Ashley is more than happy with all the arrangements. Whitney also promises to teach Jessica a few dance steps so she can surprise everyone at her wedding.

After much waiting, the reality star finally gets braces to fix her teeth, with her ex-boyfriend Lennie by her side. During the procedure, Lennie and Whitney get into fun banter, and Lennie says:

"I don’t know why is she so self conscious. My teeth are worse."

Whitney “like” her new braces and is super “excited” for the “fun process” ahead. Speaking about her new braces, she says in the confessional of My Big Fat Fabulous Life:

“I will say this, I think that it feels a lot more wrong than it looks. I actually don’t think that they look that bad.”

Quick recap of My Big Fat Fabulous Life's episode 4

In the previous episode of My Big Fat Fabulous Life, things looked better for Whitney and her family as Babs was out of danger and was recovering well after her second stroke.

Whitney and her family were looking for an assisted living community, but to their dismay, most facilities were booked, leaving the family worried about Babs.

However, Glenn was able to shortlist one facility and later discussed the place with Whitney and her brother to make sure the kids were okay with the decision. During his confessional, Glenn shared,

"Whitney has taken the lead on finding assisted living community. The person that she's dealing with, Shannon, asked me to come over and go and really take a look at all it has to offer.”

The kids were fine with the place, but by the time Glenn decided to book the place, someone else had already booked it. During the confessional, Whitney said:

"It's been really difficult finding a place for my mom, a lot of places don't have vacancies and they don't know when they're going to have vacancies. Most communities don't let you reserve a room until a couple of days before the patient is discharged."

However, in the end, the family was able to book the next apartment for Babs, much to everyone’s relief.

My Big Fat Fabulous Life is returning to TLC for Season 10.

The series follows the life of dancer Whitney Way Thore as she navigates work, family and romance. The show features various family members and friends of the star such as Tal Fish and Heather Sykes.

In Season 9 of My Big Fat Fabulous Life viewers saw Whitney embark on a new romance with a man from Paris, France, whom she had met online, but it looks like the new episodes will see her reunited (in the professional sense, at least) with her ex Lennie Alehat.

Fans will also see Whitney's mom Babs' health problems play out on screen in Season 10, after a trailer that was released earlier in 2022 confirmed that the 76-year-old had suffered another stroke. The matriarch of the Thore family first had a stroke in 2017 and her recovery played out on the show.

"Some people might think that hanging onto an ex is a slippery slope. I might fall on my ass but I won't fall for Lennie," she says in the trailer.

Thore's friend Tal Fish will also feature in the new episodes and will join Thore on a trip to Saint Lucia, along with Alehat and Thore's brother. In the trailer, Thore seems like she may be getting jealous of Alehat dancing with another woman during the trip and despite her insisting that "Lennie can do what he wants, I'm not jealous," Fish sarcastically tells her, "Whitney, tell me more about how you're not jealous."

Elsewhere in the trailer, things take a more serious turn as Thore and family are seen dealing with the aftermath of Babs' stroke. "I just don't want her to suffer," Thore cries on the phone with her father, to which he responds: "I can't believe she's taken a turn for the worse."
