You guys picking us up? Where's Mom? She was supposed to meet us at the office this morning and she didn't show. Oh, no. She didn't answer her phone. Did you go to her house? What if something happened to her? Yes, we went to see her. She was very ashamed. She said... she can't do it. No, she didn't. Because why would she, um, fill out all the forms and the court stuff and reunification stuff if she didn't... - Lizzy, your mom said you filled out all those forms. - I helped, but so what? She felt she was being pushed into something that she wasn't ready for. No. I didn't push her. She's ready! Just let me talk to her, please, and then we can figure something out. - Honey. - And she can take me home. Honey, when we saw her, it was obvious. She's using again. She's not coming, baby.

Lizzy, honey, we do know you. We... We know that you hate cheese, but you really love cheeseburgers. And we know that when you feel good in the morning, you put on a little less makeup than you do on the bad days. Exactly. And we know that the most important thing in the world to you is to protect Juan and Lita from the things nobody protected you from. - We know that about you, right? - Yes, honey. You guys are doing good. - I'm sorry. - We know there's so much we don't know. But if you're afraid we can't handle knowing the bad stuff, or the scary stuff, we can, I promise. Yeah, bring it. Whatever you got, we want it. Because we love you, Lizzy. Stop saying that. Please just go away, please.

So... um, here's what I think is best. I know Juan and Lita are more like what you had in mind when you got into this. Come on, baby. So I think the best thing is for you to adopt them. And... And I'll just ask Karen for, um, a different placement. - So... - No. - No, it'll be good. - No, honey. We need your help with Juan and Lita. We're not doing this without you. I'll visit all the time and you can call me if you need help for anything. - No. - Pete, I really don't want to argue about this right now. I don't care. I said no. That's not happening, okay? - You're with us now. - Yeah. And you know why? We've got a cosmic connection. That's right, we've got a cosmic connection. I know you feel sorry for me right now, but you really don't have to... It's got nothing to do with what just happened. Where's the court statement Ellie gave you?

It was Juan, Lita, and Lizzy." You see? You were what was missing, Lizzy. But now you're here and you are stuck with us. - That's right. - We're gonna be at every soccer game. We're gonna be all over your ass about your grades. We're gonna buy you your first prom dress. It's gonna be really pretty. But not too revealing. Super sweet. You know, not too sexy. Just like... really, that gorgeous sweet spot. Yeah. And when you graduate high school, we're gonna be in the front row embarrassing you. We're gonna be in the front row again when you graduate college, or even if you don't. You will be graduating college, 'cause it's so important and you're so smart. I don't mean to push, but it just opens up so many more opportunities. But either way, we're gonna be there for you. And someday I'm gonna give you away at your wedding. Even if I think the guy's a pissant and he's not good enough for my little girl. That's right. Someday in the future. Someday in the way, way, way off, deep, deep, deep distant future.

Hi. I don't know the whole context of everything. But I'm just wondering if I can just get in on that hug a little bit. We're good! Thank you so much. We're good, thank you. Sorry. That was just wrong. Yeah, I just do that. You guys hug. I crossed a boundary there. Everything's gonna work out great too. I can tell.
