Big Trouble!!! Chase Chrisley Reconciles With Savannah After Entering Treatment
In an emotional and deeply revealing series finale of The Chrisleys: Back to Reality, fans were taken on a heartbreaking yet hopeful journey as Chase Chrisley, the 29-year-old son of Todd and Julie Chrisley,
faced one of the most difficult battles of his life. The once fun-loving and carefree reality star bravely opened up about his struggles with addiction and the painful decision to seek treatment—
marking both a new chapter in his personal growth and an unexpected reconciliation with his sister, Savannah Chrisley.
The finale, which aired via Lifetime on Tuesday, September 16, showcased a side of Chase that fans had rarely seen before—vulnerable, reflective, and ready to confront the emotional wounds he had long suppressed. “I just need to go and handle a lot of trauma that I think I buried,” he confessed candidly. “I just thought I could bury it and bury it, and I can’t.” His words resonated with viewers who have followed the Chrisley family through years of triumph, scandal, and heartbreak.
Todd Chrisley, freshly out of prison after serving 28 months, accompanied his son on a private flight to an undisclosed treatment facility. The tender exchange between father and son was one of the most emotional moments of the finale. “Hoping today is a new beginning,” Todd told Chase, his voice filled with both concern and encouragement. “You have to win this battle. My life story is not going to be that I went to prison for 28 months, and yours is not going to be that you have a substance abuse problem.”
The episode revealed that the Chrisley patriarch, often known for his tough love and sharp wit, was now a man softened by time and redemption. Watching Chase walk into rehab stirred painful memories for Todd, particularly of his older son Kyle’s past struggles with addiction. “I thought that going through this with Kyle would kill me, but maybe it was preparation for what I’m going through today,” he admitted. “I’m sad I had to bring my son to rehab. I’m sad I’m getting on a plane and he’s not on it with me. But even though we’ve been through so much, I believe God did not bring us this far to leave us here.”
The journey to healing, however, extended beyond Chase’s personal recovery. His decision to seek help unexpectedly became the catalyst for mending a strained relationship with his sister Savannah—a feud that had simmered throughout the eight-part docuseries. For months, the siblings had been at odds, largely due to the stress and emotional fallout of their parents’ imprisonment. Savannah had taken on the enormous responsibility of caring for their younger siblings, Grayson and Chloe, while also publicly advocating for Todd and Julie’s release.
During a heartfelt sit-down captured on camera, Chase finally confronted their distance. “I know that you’re mad at everybody, but obviously you know that I was fighting my own demons,” he told Savannah with genuine remorse. “I’m sorry for my part in it. I definitely could have shown up for you more, and I just wanted to apologize to you.”
The emotional moment was one that fans had been longing for. Savannah, who had previously expressed her disappointment in Chase for not offering enough support during their parents’ incarceration, appeared both surprised and touched by her brother’s vulnerability. While she had been carrying the weight of her family’s legal turmoil, Chase had been quietly unraveling behind the scenes, his inner turmoil masked by smiles and social media posts.
