EVERYDAY PEOPLE DOING EXTRAORDINARY THINGS

Fresh off a nasty bike crash, Bailey took a backseat throughout the show and handed Kurt the reins. During the episode, the boys were emotionally touched as Lachie openly told the story of losing his father as a young teenager. Lachie then went on to talk about all the facets of life he has excelled since the defining day in 2014. Join the episode to put things in perspective and learn that life has no limits.
