A pregnant woman begs her husband to spend time with her instead of her mother, who puts a piece of chocolate in her son-in-law's mouth on the new TLC series “Smothered.”
DeLeesa is left alone while her other half, Trevor, 37, plays bingo with her mother India, 59, for “hours” – and when she calls for him to come home, India hangs up the phone.
While DeLeesa has previously called her mother's close relationship with her husband “weird,” India has attacked her daughter, accusing her of being “jealous” of her bond with her son-in-law.
In a clip shared exclusively with , India feeds Trevor a piece of chocolate with her bare hands as DeLeesa watches in horror on FaceTime as she begs him to come home.

“I think you should come home,” DeLeesa protests as Trevor and India play bingo.
When her mother hears her pleas, she blows raspberries at her daughter, prompting her to respond, “Are you serious?”
The tense situation causes DeLeesa and Trevor to clash, with the devastated woman asking, “Who plays bingo for seven hours?”
“It hasn’t been seven hours yet, you’re being dramatic,” Trevor replies. “We’ve literally been here for an hour.”
As he tries to tell his wife that he will be gone for another hour, India waves a chocolate bar in front of his face, which he then eats before grabbing Trevor's phone and hanging up.
In the confessional, with mother-in-law India at his side, Trevor says, “At this point in my relationship with DeLeesa, she feels threatened.”
India interrupts her son-in-law and chimes in: “No, I don’t think so.”
“I think it's just jealousy because everything always has to be her. “If it's not her, then that's it.”

Trevor and India's unusual relationship has caused tension in DeLeesa's marriage, with the mother-of-three previously describing their bond as “weird”.
“My husband and my mother are best friends and have the strangest, most disgusting relationship I have ever seen,” she said.
“I can't stand it, especially because me and my mother don't get along. 'It should be me and him, not my mother and him.'
Mother and son-in-law wear matching outfits, eat from each other's mouths and clean each other's ears.
And if that wasn't enough, India even plans to have dentures made from a mold of Trevor's mouth so they can have the same smile.
“Their intimacy is particularly disturbing for Trevor's wife and India's daughter DeLeesa,” an official TLC teaser reads.
“Now that DeLeesa is pregnant and needs her husband’s support more than ever, she gives Trevor an ultimatum.
“Trevor finally realizes the gravity of the situation when DeLeesa is hospitalized due to a health crisis.”
