You can love someone, worry about them, and still have no idea whether you're helping or making everything worse. So where's the line between protecting someone and trying to control them?

Lou and Michael wrestle with addiction, grief, family loyalty, and the uncomfortable difference between empathy and enabling. When someone you love is struggling, how much responsibility belongs to you? And how do you set boundaries without feeling like you're abandoning them?

A candid, sometimes confrontational conversation about personal responsibility, complicated family relationships, coping with loss, and the uncomfortable ways love and control can get tangled together. With the usual inappropriate humor, because apparently even emotional baggage needs a punchline.
