KEY POINTS

  • Doe Doe Shannon shared on Instagram the trailer for the upcoming “Road to Redemption” episode
  • The clip teased the aftermath of Mama June and Pumpkin’s confrontation from last week
  • The new episode will show what prompted Pumpkin to file for sole physical custody over Alana

“Mama June: Road to Redemption” will return this week with an all-new episode, and tensions will escalate between Mama June Shannon and Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon after their confrontation in the previous episode.

Ahead of Friday’s episode, Mama June’s sister, Joanne “Doe Doe” Shannon, uploaded a snippet of the upcoming installment on Instagram. Based on the clip, fans will see the aftermath of Mama June and Pumpkin’s argument from last week.

Mama June, 42, previously admitted to Pumpkin, 22, that she decided to move close to their home so she could spend some time with Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson, 16. However, Pumpkin shut Mama June down, saying she was no longer Alana’s mom.

In the trailer, Honey Boo Boo told cameras that “there’s no way that I’m moving in with Mama June and some weird, random guy,” referring to Mama June’s husband, Justin Stroud.

The video then jumped to a scene showing the sisters getting some legal advice. A lawyer told them that in order to protect Alana, they should secure sole physical custody.

Season 6 was filmed months ago. Pumpkin was granted sole physical custody of her younger sister last month, and Mama June was also asked to pay her daughter $800 monthly in child support until Alana turns 18.

The upcoming episode will detail what went down in the family that drove Pumpkin to take Mama June to court. Part of the trailer showed Doe Doe and Pumpkin’s husband Josh Efird talking about the situation in the kitchen.

“What happens if she doesn’t sign the paper?” Doe Doe asked in the clip.

“We take her a— to court,” Josh responded.

The clip ended with a confessional featuring Pumpkin and her other sister, Jessica “Chubbs” Shannon. Last week, Jessica accompanied Pumpkin when the latter confronted Mama June.

“I don’t know how you are staying so calm,” Jessica said.

“Calm? B—h, I’m about to jump out of my skin,” an irate Pumpkin replied.

Meanwhile, fans expressed their excitement for the new episode after seeing the teaser Doe Doe shared.

“Friday will be intense. Nothing but good thoughts [and] lots of love going to y’all,” one fan wrote.

“I can’t wait to see where this goes,” another added.

“Mama June: Road to Redemption” airs Fridays at 9 p.m. EDT on We TV.
