Episode 8 also featured a crucial moment for Chris and Tammy as they visited Dr. Turner to discuss the skin surgery, a major step in their weight loss journey.

All in all, the looming tension between the Slaton sisters was a point of contention but Chris tried to resolve the issue by telling them to focus on the trip. The official synopsis of the 1000-lb Sisters season 6, episode 8 reads:

"Everyone prepares for London amid another flare up between Tammy and Amanda; Chris and Tammy visit Dr. Turner hoping to get approved for skin removal surgery; the family participates in a 5K and Amanda makes her move to Florida."

What happened in episode 8 of 1000-lb Sisters season 6?

As the Slaton sisters struggled to deal with the London accent, all they needed was a translator as they started their preparation for the trip. Their preparation met some obstacles; they were warned about pick-pocketers and the long walks they would have to take in London since the city operates like that.

However, these were minor concerns before Amanda and Tammy's altercation which took place during the group workout session in 1000-lb Sisters. Initially, Tammy blamed Amanda for starting the argument while Amanda expressed that Tammy misunderstood her and started the blip.

Chris was concerned about how they all would manage a family trip together with the looming tension.

Chris was also concerned about the skin removal surgery that he was about to undergo. Along with Tammy, he visited Dr. Turner's clinic to learn all the details of the surgery. This was an important decision for both Tammy and Chris who are still on their weight loss journey.

This could lead to significant possibilities that viewers would get to know eventually as they would follow the Slatons' journey on 1000-lb Sisters.

On the other hand, Amanda announced her Florida trip that would take place after the 10 days. This trip was significant for her as she was planning on moving to Florida. Amanda also reflected on the current family dynamics, especially her clash with Tammy during the workout and how to navigate their relationship.

However, despite the conflict, the Slatons appeared thrilled about their London trip and their participation in the 5K event gave them a renewed sense towards health and fitness.
