When David meets Sheila's family, including her now late mother, he notes how the home is in such extreme disrepair, from fragile stairs that look more like a ladder to a lack of running water. Sheila worries that it could make David rethink their relationship, but he just feels concern for her and her family's health and safety and he spends the night.
It's when they wake up the next morning that they find Sheila's mom unresponsive at the bottom of the dangerous stairs in the home. No one had heard her fall down the stairs in the early morning hours.
"It happened unexpectedly," Sheila tells producers in the July 30 episode. "David and my mom just met. Then all of a sudden she's gone."

One thing Sheila can count on, however, appears to be that David is here to stay, through the good and the bad. David seems to be totally smitten with Sheila.
In an interview with People, the Omaha, Neb., resident said, “Sheila is better than any other woman I’ve dated because Sheila is a sweet person. She is the perfect match to me. I’ll love Sheila forever.”
