“I think it’s a really, really good episode,” Case said. “It’s going to be very emotional, and it’s going to be very real.”

Sharon's Mental Health Crisis

Sharon has been struggling with her mental health for years. She has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and has been taking medication to manage her symptoms.

However, in recent months, Sharon's mental health has taken a turn for the worse. She has been experiencing hallucinations and delusions, and she has been making increasingly erratic decisions.

In the standalone episode, Sharon will reach a breaking point. She will be admitted to a psychiatric hospital, where she will receive treatment for her mental illness.

"I think it’s really important to talk about mental illness,” Case said. “It’s something that affects so many people, and it’s something that we need to talk about more openly.”

Case also said she hopes the episode will help people understand Sharon's character.

"I think a lot of people have been judging Sharon lately,” Case said. “But I hope this episode will help people understand what she’s going through.”
