We TV didn't return with Episode 9 of 'Mama June: Family Crisis' Season 4 this week and that left fans confused because they were expecting to indulge in some Shannon family drama. While some were aware that the next episode wouldn't air until May 29, most started watching reruns and it was only after a few minutes that they realized they were watching a previously-aired episode. "I was about 20 min in and realized I have already seen this!" a fan commented. 

"We have to wait a whole week for a new @MamaJune_WEtv episode? Ugh!!!! I’ll be watching next week. #MamaJune," another viewer, who seemed frustrated, shared. It's a possibility that fans are riled up because the show went on a two-week break and no one knows why. The real reason is still unclear. "Why do we have to wait two weeks for a new episode of Mama June family crisis???," a user questioned while another tried to calm others down by informing that the channel had released a clip that serves as a sneak peek for Episode 9. "They're showing a sneak peek at the moment though," the viewer posted. 

What to expect in Episode 9?

'Mama June: Family Crisis' will pick up where they left off, which means Lauryn Michelle "Pumpkin" Shannon, husband Joshua Efird and their daughter Ella Grace are on the run despite being clean. Joining them on the road is Pumpkin's sister, Alana Frances "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson, who is growing increasingly frustrated from having to live with the couple.

In the sneak peek, we see Honey Boo Boo complain about how she is going to finish all of her homework if they are going to live out of a hotel until further notice. Pumpkin assures her that it won't be a challenge and they would all sit and wind up school work together. While the family figures out their new living situation, Jennifer Thompson and Mike "Sugar Bear" Thompson come knocking at the door, hoping to uncover some dark secret that they have been hiding and also taking Honey Boo Boo with them.

In a nutshell, a good load of drama awaits viewers when 'Mama June: Family Crisis' returns on May 29.
