“Push Girls” recap (2.05): “Tiphany’s Missing Sister (Part 2)”

After last week’s cliffhanger, we finally get to see Tiphany track down her missing sister Katie. But first let’s head over to the other Push Girls, shall we?

Auti and her husband Eric are once again fight about marriage counseling. Eric finally concedes and agrees to sit down with a therapist. Auti and Eric both cry about their pain, which seems to stem from Auti’s past betrayal with another man. Auti apologizes over and over, but at this point Eric is too hurt to forgive her. Only time will tell if this couple will last.

In happier news Angela got her driver’s learners permit and she’s eager to get behind the wheel. With a special tricked out minivan Angela is able to navigate the automobile with her limited wrist movement. Angela is giddy as she roams around the streets and even knocks into a stationary trash barrel. p.s. That trashcan was totally asking for it!

Mia doesn’t make an appearance in the episode nor does Tiphany’ s new lady love Liz, but hopefully we’ll see both of them soon.

Speaking of our out Push Girl, Tiphany hired a private investigator to find her sister who’s been missing for over a year. Katie, a mother of two, has been using methamphetamine for 10 years. Tiphany desperately wants to stage an intervention to save her but first she has to find her. Tiphany and her cousin Lisa drive around the outskirts of a drug-infested trailer park hoping to catch a glimpse of Katie. With no luck, Lisa insists that Tiphany go back to her aunt’s house and wait while she finds Katie alone. Tiphany, her aunt and stepmother wait by the phone as Lisa tracks Katie down where she is cleaning rooms at a hotel.

Lisa pleads with Katie to leave with her immediately. Katie is hesitant at first but she agrees to go after Lisa insists there is a family emergency.

After a long woman-hunt, Katie arrives at her aunt’s house and is greeted with hugs and tears from the whole family.

Katie, who is sporting a bandage on her face because of an alleged fight with another woman, claims that for the past year she’s been living in one of the rooms at the hotel. After the family gathers together, Tiphany offers to get her sister into a rehab program in Los Angeles. Katie accepts the help but she asks to stop back at her storage unit and the hotel before she leaves town. Tiphany is hesitant to give her the opportunity to change her mind. Katie is insistent that, out of respect, she must go back say goodbye to the owner of the hotel since he’s taken care of her for the last year. After some pleading, Tiphany convinces Katie to head directly to rehab without making any pit stops. As the ladies get ready to head out for Los Angeles, Katie’s father shows up and hugs both of his daughters.

Then dad made this bleak declaration, “Katie needs to get healthy but if I was a gambling man I wouldn’t put a lot of money on it. And I pray to God I am wrong.”

Katie does right by her family and does in fact go into rehab. After several days of detox, Katie is transferred to a live in treatment center. Tiphany stops by the treatment center to check in on Katie, who believes she’ll be out of rehab in no time. The manger at the treatment centers says the good news is that Katie is willing and eager to kick her drug habit unlike many patients.

Katie says she’s excited to get out of treatment after only 30 days to which Tiphany responds, “Oh child, you are out of your mind! You are going to be here for more than 30 days — you just don’t know it yet.”

What did you think of this episode? Would you bet money on Katie’s sobriety?
