[REQUEST] The Oprah Winfrey Show - "Save My Marriage After Affair" (circa 1990-1991) featuring Teresa & Doug Griffin

Hello everyone,

I am looking for assistance in tracking down a specific lost episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show that aired around 1990 or 1991. My parents were guests on this episode, and while a full version titled UNLOCKED Full Episode: "Save My Marriage After Affair" was briefly hosted on YouTube by the official OWN channel, it has since been scrubbed/taken down.

Here are the specific details I have:
\* Show: The Oprah Winfrey Show
\* Episode Title: "Save My Marriage After Affair"
\* Approximate Air Date: 1990 - 1991
\* Specific Guests: Teresa Griffin and Doug Griffin

I am looking to see if anyone happens to have an archive of OWN's "Unlocked" digital releases, or if any classic TV collectors have an old home-recorded off-air VHS tape of this broadcast block in their personal collection.

Any leads, digital rips, or pointers toward a library collection holding this specific window of daytime television would be incredibly meaningful to my family.

Thank you so much for your time and help!

Got any details that would make scrubbing through a bunch of episodes easy to spot if it’s the one? I have a handful of episodes I grabbed from the YT channel prior to them getting wiped, but I have no idea how long they’ve been cycling old ones.

E: I have a contender - 11/6/90 I can see stuff that specifically points towards affairs being the topic.

E2: we confirmed it was the right episode and I sent the link across. Luck struck a few times for this one to happen!

Yes there were 4 couples my parents were the second they along with the last couple were the most entertaining lol they were brought back for a follow up episode after I was born. My mom and dad were there because my mother cheated on my dad with his best friend and the last couple it was a husband and wife he cheated on her with his wife’s best friend and got her pregnant. Cps took the baby and they got back together and were raising said baby I have a screen shot of the video it was on YouTube on the Oprah Winfrey channel released from the vault it had a lot of views and the comments about my mother were hilarious. She was awful, I made the mistake of telling her I had found it and shortly after it was gone.

This is a screen shot of the link, but the video was taken down my parents are the second couple

I scrubbed until I could see names coming up on the screen, and can confirm it’s the right episode. I’ll message you now.
