Kendra and Hank’s marital problems have been very public for some time. Once blissfully happy, the couple has been working on keeping their union intact ever since it was revealed that Hank had allegedly slept with a transgender prostitute. Since joining the cast of Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars, the couple have gone through many challenges, but nothing like this.
In this heartbreaking episode, Kendra was led into a room equipped with a hospital bed and fake life support machine, where Hank lay motionless, pretending to be on the verge of death. Kendra is immediately distraught, sobbing at the sight of her husband looking so helpless. But, it gets worse! Co-hosts Elizabeth and Jim Carroll tell the Playboy model to repeat what she told Hank during their last fight, as these are the last words he would ever hear.
They tell her that Hank was so upset by their fight that he went for a drive and got in an accident — and now he’s going to die. Harsh, much? Throughout the ordeal, even Hank cries as Kendra says her final goodbyes to her husband before “pulling the plug” on his life. Elizabeth and Jim tell Kendra to “let him go,” and she is forced to symbolically say goodbye to her husband of six years.
“You are my heart, you are my soul,” Kendra says. “I love you. I will always love you.” Are you sobbing at your computer yet? Just us?
