This Tuesday it's potty training plus double the multiples on OUTDAUGHTERED and RATTLED. At 9/8c, on OUTDAUGHTERED, two words strike fear in every parents heart: potty training. That time has come for the Busbys and they nothing can prepare Adam and Danielle for poop explosions times five. The quints are leaving smelly surprises all over the house, making mom and dad want to throw in the towel and bring on the diapers. Meanwhile, Adam stresses over whether Hazel will need another eye surgery even though he doesn't have all the facts.

Then, at 10/9c, in a new episode of RATTLED, Jarrel is set on not taking custody of baby Boston with Krystal without a DNA test. Aly has an allergic reaction during labor and puts her already high-risk pregnancy under even more pressure. The Gardner quads are back and more rambunctious than ever leaving Tyson and Ashley questioning if they are in need of a bigger home. Brooke, a professional wrestler, is terrified of giving birth and all of the decisions that come with it.
