"Recovery Road" episode 5, titled "My Loose Thread," gave insight into the lives of a few of the characters on the show.
Each episode of the Freeform series shows flashbacks from a certain character's life. This week it was Trish's (Kyla Pratt). The Trish of the past is very different from the one living in a sober house facility. The flashbacks did not only show her struggle as an addict but also her struggle as a child.
While there were no flashbacks provided for Margarita (Paula Jai Parker), viewers were able to see her outside the rehab facility and how she interacts with her family. Margarita stabbed her husband and son once when she was high on drugs. So, it was interesting to see their dynamics after everything.
Wes's (Sebastian De Souza) past was also visited during the episode. He and Maddie (Jessica Sula) went on several adventures one day. Maddie introduced Wes to her mom, and in return Maddie asked Wes if he could introduce her to his grandmother.

Wes told Maddie that a big part of his 6-month sobriety was his living with his grandmother. But he slipped, and his grandmother ended up in a nursing home.
In a way, the episode was centered on progress — how the addicts have improved since admitting they needed help.
Maddie made big progress during the episode. She finally picked a sponsor. Much to her mother's dismay though, she picked her guidance counselor Cynthia (Alexis Carra).
Before the episode ended, Cynthia told Maddie about her mother's sentiment. They decided that they will still continue to work together, but only until Maddie finds someone else to be her sponsor.
After their conversation, someone knocked at the door. Maddie opened it and was surprised to see Harper's (Aubrey Peeples) — Wes's ex — dealer. Wes came down the stairs and faced the dealer, but it turns out he wasn't just a random drug provider; he is Wes's brother. The conversation between Wes and his brother was interrupted when a crying Trish storms through the door saying her daughter is missing.
"Recovery Road" airs Mondays, 9 p.m. on Freeform.
