Seth ends up arriving at 2:30am, an hour and a half after curfew, to reveal that he really has remained sober throughout the night.

Andy Dick joins the house after 4 days of sobriety, where he shares a room with "Shifty" Binzer.

At the party, Amber relapses on alcohol and calls the house saying she will not be back in time for the curfew.

Episode 5

Amber comes back to the house after a night of binge drinking. Meanwhile, Mary is having trouble with her boyfriend, David, who constantly criticizes her.

Seth communicates via MySpace to the housemates where he leaves increasingly disturbing messages.

Episode 7

Seth returns to the sober house after waking up in the hospital a few nights earlier. Nikki receives two pieces of bad news learning that two people in her life have died. Mary is at odds with her conscience when deciding whether or not to attend/host Swingfest. Meanwhile, the housemates go paintballing where Jennifer's true feelings come out when Seth shoots her in the leg with a paint ball gun. Seth gives Jennifer some crack he finds in his shorts. Jennifer flushes it down the toilet.

Episode 8

Rodney King is fired up to start his own Sober House until he arrives at his house and sees the devastation wrought by his drinking and immediately gets discouraged. Mary Carey breaks up with her controlling boyfriend to the delight of everybody. Nikki sings her song "Inconsolable" and Steve Adler may have fallen off the wagon again. Andy Dick travels around town to make amends to the people he has hurt during his drunken binges to wary reactions.

Episode 9

The final episode. Andy Dick finally makes amends to his son Lucas who bore the worst of his drinking. Dr. Drew remodels Rodney King's home to his absolute delight and motivates him to stay sober. Amber faces the real world with severe anxiety but works her way through it to get her own apartment. Steve Adler is busted for marijuana use and has to go back to the hospital. Seth Binzer's new song is picked up by legendary producer George Clinton and has a new resolve to stay sober, thanks to a fellow band member also in recovery and the addition of two new bodyguards to keep him on the straight and narrow.
