In October 2012, 21-year-old Danzele Johnson was shot and killed by an Elkhart, Indiana homeowner while he and three friends broke into a home and another served as a lookout.

Scottsdale restaurant owners Amy and Sammy became instantly infamous last May, after they say they were depicted as villains on the reality TV show Kitchen Nightmares. The couple was seen berating staff, customers and even host Gordon Ramsey, who ultimately threw his hands up in the air and walked out. But Amy and Sammy claim all the drama was manufactured for television and insist that their character was misrepresented. They say that since their episode aired, they’ve been threatened and bullied by bloggers and reviewers online — and as a result, both their business and their marriage have suffered. Dr. Phil has some tough questions for the couple about their actions on the reality show — was it smoke and mirrors for TV or just bad behavior? Then, Amy and Sammy come face to face with one of their cyber-reviewers, Michael, who says that the couple needs to stop picking fights with their critics and start taking ownership in the situation. How do they respond? Plus, Dr. Phil calls on public relations expert Howard Bragman to give Sammy and Amy advice for changing their image — and getting their business back on track. What does he say they must do? And, will they be open to it?

In October 2013, Shay’s 19-year-old brother, Connor, was convicted of second-degree murder in the stabbing death of Shay’s boyfriend, Andrew, and sentenced to 20 to 60 years in prison. In a Dr. Phil exclusive, Shay and her parents share what they believe happened that night and why they feel Connor was acting in self-defense. Why did Connor leave the crime scene, without calling 911, and ditch the knife? Hear texts between the two men leading up to the incident. Should Connor have received a lesser sentence? Then, 71-year-old Mort says he’s in love with his fiancée, “Keri,” whom he met online and to whom he has given more than $100,000.

Dr. Phil digs for answers in search of the truth -- is “Keri” a con artist? Plus, Alisha says her husband, Dennis, verbally and physically abused her -- and when she worked up the courage to leave him, he shot her five times before taking his own life. Alisha, who is now a quadriplegic, shares her story with Dr. Phil. Tune in to see what big surprise Dr. Phil has for Alisha.

A Mother Consumed with Rage: Is Her Anger Destroying Her Family?

Thirty-year-old Ashley admits she has an “extreme” anger problem and verbally and physically abuses her husband of eight years, Aaron — at times, in front of their 6-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter.

Bully Teacher?/DNA Dilemma

Former kindergarten teacher Cynthia says her life was torn apart when a classroom lesson led to her being convicted of official oppression, a misdemeanor, and sentenced to two years’ probation and 30 days in jail. Prosecutors claimed Cynthia told her students to line up and strike a 6-year-old boy, to teach him “how it feels to be bullied.” Cynthia says the whole ordeal was a big misunderstanding, and now she’s falsely labeled as a “bully teacher” — and might never lead a classroom again. How does she describe what happened that day? Plus, hear from the mother of one of Cynthia’s former students. Is Cynthia getting a bad rap, or did she cross the line? Then, the family of an adopted 7-year-old boy says a woman is harassing them and exploiting the child on the Internet, claiming he is her grandson. Teri, the boy’s adoptive mother, says the woman might be stalking her family, and she worries the child might be in danger. How can they protect themselves? And, is there any validity to the woman’s claims? Dr. Phil sets the record straight with hard evidence: a maternity test, fingerprint test and DNA test. What will the results reveal?

Deadly Relations

Two years ago, Bailey says she woke up to a gun pressed to her head during a terrifying home invasion and kidnapping. She says she and her roommate, John, were tied up, blindfolded and driven into the desert, where their abductors brutally beat and tortured John — and then left them stranded in the middle of the night. Bailey says she was able to break free and run for help. Now, Bailey says she’s struggling to recover from the horrific event, and her life has fallen apart. How can she heal from such a traumatic experience? Then, in the wake of the Ariel Castro kidnappings, police in Cleveland dug further into other missing girl cold cases in the area, and on October 10, 2013, found the skeletal remains of 18-year-old Christina Adkins, who disappeared in 1995. Christina’s boyfriend at the time and father of her unborn baby, Jose, was the prime suspect for nearly two decades, until another man, Elias Acevedo, pleaded guilty to her murder, among other crimes. Dr. Phil is joined by Jose and his family, to share how the cloud of suspicion has affected his life. Why do they say Adkins’ family is still accusing Jose? Dr. Phil brings both sides together in search of answers. Can they foster a peace and find closure? This program contains mature subject matter. Viewer discretion advised.
