The episode discusses Sarah Marshall's desperate search for answers regarding her daughter Phoebe's undiagnosed health issues.

Sarah Marshall knew from only a few months into her fourth daughter Phoebe's life that something was definitely wrong. By the time Phoebe was six, Sarah began to fear for her daughter's life.
