We head to New Orleans, Richard's hometown. From the food to the burlesque to the Southern religiosity, this city shaped young Dickie Simmons into the Richard we all know. It's also where his brother lives. Dan tries to make contact.

Richard has given so much of himself over decades. He doesn't owe anyone anything. I just hope he is happy.

[@kristinnoelle]

Damn the part where he speaks to Congress put me to tears. God Bless him I hope he's okay 🙏🙏

[@RCGagain]

Hmmm Elijah and Teresa appear to be manipulating dear Richard. Where there is money and no heir shenanigans ensue. My WW2 vet elderly neihgbor had no less than 5 people competing for his favor to inherit his $100k house.

[@edwincgov]

He doesn't owe a goodbye to anyone. These are grown adults that we're talking about.

[@guybrushgetchell2945]

edwincgov true but you have to keep in mind that most of the people on here were people who Richard was very close with so to just vanish into thin air is kinda strange. Nothing against Richard he’s an old man he deserves a break, just some closure would be helpful

[@RickDeRuler]

They just want to make sure he’s ok. Like any good friend would do.

[@edwincgov]

@@guybrushgetchell2945 Good point.

[@edwincgov]

@@RickDeRuler That's makes sense.

[@janwarriner6554]

Mental breakdown or AIDS?

[@danam9299]

Are you implying Richard Simmons has AIDS? What bases do you have for this completely ignorant suggestion?
