The episode shows how Margera's struggles with addiction and mental health, including a bipolar disorder diagnosis and multiple rehab stints since 2009, led to his placement under legal guardianship. The conservatorship handed over decision-making powers to others while he sought treatment.

Margera, once a core member of the Jackass crew, was let go from Jackass 4 in 2021 after failing a drug test. He later filed a lawsuit claiming his termination was illegal discrimination due to his physical and mental health challenges.

As per The Hollywood Reporter, the episode features interviews with Lima Jeramovic, BJ Corville, Margera's family, and his former Jackass co-star, Steve-O. Legal analyst Beth Karas, who appeared in 'The Curious Case of Natalia Grace', is also part of the series. (ANI)
