    #1 - David & Elizabeth

    S15:E5

    David and Elizabeth have been co-dependent co-hoarders for as long as their adult children can remember. The couple had to remortgage their home because of their addiction to buying items sold on television, such as Tiffany-style lamps. David has more than 40 of these lamps, most of which have never been unboxed. The house is overrun with mice, and Elizabeth's doctor has threatened to report them to the city and have it condemned. David treats it all like a joke - but no one is laughing. With help from the Hoarders team, will this couple be able to let go of their things and hold onto each other?
