Susie's Chili's is back after a two year closure due to fire, and she's finally got her baby back. And we learn the reason she is obsessed with the fast casual restaurant chain in the first place, and how it relates to her time on reality tv. We hear the follow-up on a man who jumped off a Disney cruise ship to save his daughter who fell off the boat, and we cheer on dads doing superhero shit. We learn about some people who, after decades of severe schizophrenia, have made complete recoveries after receiving treatment for a separate disease, which is showing doctors that there might be more at play than just a mental illness in the first place. And we learn the fascinating downsides to going back to "normal" after living with mental illness. Susie tells the story of a pediatrician who accidentally killed his toddler son, how he channeled his pain into saving lives, and why workaholism can be a powerful tool for people struggling with grief.
