Carter in December 2023 at age 41, exploring the struggles that the Carter siblings faced throughout their lives. Nick and Angel have a poignant conversation about wanting to break the “generational cycle” of suffering that their siblings experienced and ensuring that it does not affect future generations.

He candidly shares his feelings of guilt for not being able to intervene sooner while he was busy with his music career. Looking at family photos, he reflects on the loss of their siblings and their parents, emphasizing that his three deceased siblings didn’t deserve the hardships they faced.
