And the foster parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wagner, are they present as well? Yes, Your Honor. And, Mr. and Mrs. Wagner, is it accurate that you left Juan and Lita alone in your car while you were being arrested for aggravated assault? - Well, that... - Yes, Your Honor, but in our defense... Sir, all I need to know is whether or not Lizzy is lying. No, she's not lying.

Mrs. Wagner, did you at one time force Lizzy's friends to leave your home by way of a bedroom window? - It was a ground floor window. - Good. Points for you.

And at the time, we couldn't answer her." - Ma'am, please sit down. - Please, Your Honor, can you let me say the answer? No. Sit. This hearing is not about you.

Okay. Now, Miss Viara, I see that you've been keeping up with your visits. That's good. I also understand that you've been sober for the last five months. Is that still the case? - Yes. - That's very good news. And if I were to put the kids in your care, your current residence could accommodate them?

Lizzy will show her the way we do the cheese for you so your mom can make it for you just the way you like. - Yeah. - Okay. Come on, guys. Don't be sad on our last night. You know what? I think we should tell Pete and Ellie thank you, you know, for everything they've done for us, yeah? - Thank you. - Well, thank you, pal. Yeah, thank you, guys. - Lita? - I don't want to say anything. Oh, honey.
