After watching Alana aka Honey Boo Boo pretend to snort cocaine on social media, her family calls in 'Marriage Bootcamp's Dr Ish to see if he could help Alana open up in any way, and fans affirm he did a great job. 

'Mama June: Family Crisis' Season 4 returned on Friday night for an all-new episode. This week, Jennifer tried convincing Sugarbear that they need to fight for Alana's custody after the video of her pretending to snort cocaine went viral. But Sugarbear doesn't want to do it because he's nervous and afraid that if they lose the battle in court, he wouldn't get to spend time with her. 

On the other hand, Pumpkin, Josh and Gina try their best to make Alana understand that even though she thinks it was a joke, it has consequences. Last week, we saw Alana pretend to snort cocaine after she hears that Mama June didn't go to rehab once again. Pumpkin confiscated her phone and she was punished for her scandalous video. 

After she was done shoveling poop as part of her punished, Alana entered the house to see 'Marriage Bootcamp's Dr Ish sitting in the living room, ready to talk to Alana. Pumpkin requested Dr Ish's help to figure out why Alana did what she did and he was more than happy to help them out. 

When Alana was confronted about her behavior, she hits an all-time low point and reveals she was afraid she was being a burden to the family and that's why she acted out. But Pumpkin and Josh were quick to reassure her that they love her and that she wasn't a burden. They said they loved her being around. They also request her to be more open to them and not be afraid of anything.

Dr Ish somehow made Alana open up and fans on Twitter said that he was of great help to the family in their time of need. "Dr Ish did an amazing job breaking it down to the family. #mamajune," a fan shared.

"I think this was a great meeting with Dr Ish and I hope that most importantly, Alana knows that her family loves her and she can express herself in better ways. #MamaJune #FromNotToHot #FamilyCrisis," a fan wrote. While another added, "I'm so glad the Pumpkin called Dr Ish. That was the family therapy that they needed. #MamaJune." 

"Dr Ish is right in that the family will never give up in loving #MamaJune!" a fan said. Adding to that another fan shared, "This session with Dr Ish has me crying. This is what kids of dysfunctional families go through and they shouldn’t have to! Dammit June, straighten tf up! #BreakTheCycle #MamaJune." 

"IDK if Dr Ish has children, but he seems like he would make a great father. #MamaJune #FromNotToHot," a fan added. Another fan said, "Always one of my favorites. Love ya Dr Ish!! Keep preaching! #MamaJune #MamaJuneFamilyCrisis #MamaJunefromnottohot."
