Special bond: Audrey played with toys as a child, but none ever made her feel the way the blue lamb does
Audrey says she played with stuffed animals as a child, but nothing ever compared to how she feels about this blue lamb.
'The lamb just sort of spoke something to me that no other stuffed animal ever has before,' she explains.
And it's not just the typical human-toy relationship for Audrey.Â
'I think the lamb and I share a spiritual connection,' she says. 'When I am looking into the lamb's eyes, I feel a sense of comfort and peace. I can just feel all the stress floating up and away.'
Fun in the sand: She even takes her toy to the playground. 'The lamb loves to be outdoors,' she says
Pals: The lamb is Audrey's best friend. 'He is really just carefree and adventurous and awesome,' she gushes
Doing exercise: In one shot, Audrey is seen working out on a treadmill with her lamb tucked into her fanny pack

She takes it to a playground, reads it bedtime stories, brings it for a walk on the beach and even pretends to feed it.

And although her sister Ansley calls her relationship with the lamb 'strange', Audrey maintains: 'He is really just carefree and adventurous and awesome.'
Tonight's episode also features a girl who is addicted to eating deodorant.
Nineteen-year-old Nicole, whose obsession began two years ago, now consumes 15 sticks of deodorant a month.
More than a toy: 'I think the lamb and I share a spiritual connection,' Audrey says. 'When I am looking into the lamb's eyes, I feel a sense of comfort and peace'

Her addiction is so extreme that it has taken over her life.
'When I wake up in the morning I want deodorant,' she says in a trailer for the episode. 'After each meal I want deodorant. When I’m stressed out, I eat deodorant.'
Even in her sleep, Nicole can't shake her cravings. 'In the middle of the night, I wake up out of my sleep and I want deodorant,' she explains.
Nicole uses the cap to scoop it out from the stick like a spoon, then chews and swallows it.
And she buys specific brands of deodorant because she prefers the ones with a 'richer taste.'

'It’s really soft,' she says. 'It feels like it melts in my mouth. It has its own unique taste.'
Nicole first developed an urge to taste deodorant when she was four years old. But two years ago, her cravings turned into a full-fledged addiction.
She admits: 'I take deodorant with me everywhere I go, because I never know when I’m going to crave it.'
Nicole also uses spray deodorant to satisfy her addiction, which she says she likes even better because the residue doesn't get stuck in her teeth.
