Holy... And just when things finally start to feel normal again, they have another visit. Yeah, we just feel so rejected. And I know this probably makes me a really bad person, but I just keep wishing that their mom would go back to prison. You're not a bad person. When someone does terrible things to the children we love, it's not easy to find empathy for them. But we have to try, people. Whatever happens, the time that your kids spent with you - made a big difference in their lives. - Mm-hmm. Yeah, I know, but then we're just supposed to...

Since Lizzy's mom has been keeping up with her reunification steps, the judge changed your .26 hearing to a Change of Circumstances hearing where he'll decide if the kids are ready to reunite. Nice. Really nice. No, this is... You weren't gonna share that with us? We've been dealing with all of this shit! I mean, the tantrums, the messes, the attitude. I have played 150 games of Candy Land with Lita. You ever play fricking Candy Land? - It's brutal! - It's very dull. We're making connections. Okay? I just taught Lita how to ride a bike. Juan and I bonded over Rocky III. And now Mom's ready to reunite? Pete, Ellie, I understand your frustration. But we all need to keep in mind that until the kids are adopted, the primary goal of the system is family preservation.

Oh, yeah. Oh, dear. Mom. Can you please get off the counter, honey? It's dangerous. - How was care group? - So much fun. Hey, hey, hey. We have news. - You're pregnant? - Oh, my God! - Why are you doing this to me? - I'm sorry. No? It's okay. No. Just tell them. - Yeah? - Uh-huh. Okay, okay. We are going to adopt through foster care, just like you guys! I mean, we did not get it at first, and then we met yours and saw what a wonderful choice it was. Hell of a lot cheaper than in vitro too. Which is not the reason, but it's a reason, if you're weighing factors. And we start classes next week! What do you guys think? I think, uh...

Fifteen-year-old girls should never be naked, ever! - Can you take the door? - Don't read my texts! Open the door! "If you don't show me something soon, I might lose interest." - What? Who is this person, Lizzy? - Open the door! Oh, no. No, no. Dick pic! There's a dick pic! Come on, kids, we are going in the living room. Is this that kid Jacob you were talking about? That sweet kid from school is sending you photos of his beeswax? Jesus, that is a trout! Get out of here! - Lizzy! - Get out here now!

So I just thought, I mean, your daughter turned out so great. Is she up there studying? Hey, Brenda, you gonna come down? I thought maybe we could speak with her, and she'd get us pumped up like before. - Is that a possibility? - Yeah, that'd be great. She was amazing. We could use a pep talk right now. Um, Brenda is, um... back in rehab. - Excuse me, what? - We caught her using a couple months ago. Are you shitting me right now? Her inspirational, heartwarming goddamn speech is the reason we signed up for this shit-show in the first place! Now you're telling me she's back on... Ow! You listen to me, crazy woman!

Yes! I'm a little afraid to say anything, but yes, that's basically how we feel. That's how your children feel every day of their lives. When you took this on, you felt good about yourself because you knew that it mattered, right? Well, guess what. Things that matter are hard. Now I know where Brenda gets her inspiring speech thing. Listen, guys, right now, you're all they've got. So your job is to keep them safe, whether they want you to or not. Wow. He's got it too. ...much. That was incredible. Thank you. - I'm so sorry that I blew up at you. - I'm sorry I slapped you! - I know! That was crazy! - I know. I apologize. It was good. I needed it. I haven't been slapped for a long time. It was a bit aggressive. It was a little bit out of line. Well, you were, honey. You were. All right, honey, we gotta go. - We gotta get going. - Take care. Thank you. You're on Facebook, right? I'll find you. Okay! Bye! Bye! Thank you! Bye. Let's get in the house right away, really quick.

All right, look, you drop them off. I'm gonna find this Jacob kid and get to the bottom of this, okay? - Okay. - All right. - Wait, Pete, that's him! - What? Him? That redhead kid right there? The kid with the soup can for a...? Come on. I'm getting him. You! Dick pic! Hey! Hey! - Hey! Excuse me. - What's up, man? Wanted to catch a fade, huh? - Dick pic! - Think it's okay? Sending pictures of your knob to a 15-year-old girl? You're lucky I don't end your life right now, carrot top. I saw what you wrote to her: "If you don't show me something, I'm gonna lose interest." That's actually sexual assault, young man. It's disgusting! Not such a big man now, are you? Come on, whip it out! Show everybody those big shaved plums you're so proud of! We're gonna call your mom, tell the principal, maybe even call the police. - What do you think of that, Jacob? - My name's not Jacob! - What? - My name is Charlie. That's Charlie. - I thought you said his name was Jacob. - Really? And my plums aren't shaved. Or big.
