Is that her real mom? Yeah, that's a harsh move. Actually, if you read your foster parent regs, you know you're not allowed to take away any of my personal property, so...

- I got you, buddy. I got you. - Get in, get in, get in. Seat belts on, everybody! Seat belts on. You're a brave boy, you hear me? Look at me. You're so brave. Yeah? You're doing such a good job, buddy. We're right here. Hello! Hey, help, please. - What happened? - He's got a nail in his foot. I didn't want to take it out, just in case. That was very smart. Put him right on this gurney. - Hey, buddy. - It's all right, buddy. We're here. - Are you the mother? - Yes. Oh, I'm his foster mom. - Okay. - Right this way, Dad. Hey, buddy, what's your name? Juan, we're gonna clean this off, give you a little anesthetic, and then take this nail out. Hold my hand. Gonna be a little pinch. Look at me. - Hold my hand, hold my hand. - A little bit of a sting. - Stop! Stop! - It's almost over. - That's it. - It's done! It's done. It's done. I think we should take Lita to the lobby. You want to go with her or stay here with Juan? You take her.

Maybe she ran off. Maybe something happened to her. No, she didn't. She's just treating us like another set of fosters.

I don't know, maybe next time you guys... try and use the three R's on me. I could barf all over the ground because it's so nauseating! I knew it wasn't gonna work with her. Oh, good! You're home! Hi! Mom, I told you to text or call. You told me to give you a few weeks to settle in. Well, it's been a few weeks, and I want to meet my new grandkids. You must be Lizzy. Come here! - No, she doesn't like it when you... - Come here! Oh! I'm your Grandma Sandy. Anyone ever starts shit with any of you, they have to deal with me. We're family now, and I got your back forever. You hear me? - Mom, just take it easy. Please. - Oh, my God! Will you look at them! Juan, Lita, this is Sandy. This is Pete's mom. - Hi! - Hi! I could just eat you two up! And how's my baby boy? Ohh!

- Well, not yet! - Not yet. Sorry, but we shouldn't be laughing. No, it's actually important to have a sense of humor about this kind of thing. Right. You gotta laugh or you'll never make it through this. That is right. Speaking of which, next up we have October, who still hasn't been matched with a child. Well, there's some good news. Ha-ha-ha. So, together we're all gonna decide which chore we'd like to do and then each week we'll mix it up. - Can I do "Feed Meatball"? - Yes! - I want to feed Meatball! - You can feed him next week. Pete, I hope she's not serious about all this. It's not just she, it's we. And we are. Very serious. - Okay, so do you want us to wash your feet too? - Oh, Lizzy. - This is bullshit! - Lizzy! Hey, hey, wait, wait! Lizzy. Let's just... Let's... Let's try something else. Can we just take a moment, calm down, and take a few breaths? Please? Try it.

- Unlock the window! - And if I say anything about any of it... I'm so sorry. It's not my fault. - Lizzy's favorite pastime is just... - Just leave me alone! Thanks for making me late. You're an asshole. God forbid we actually try to parent the little ones. No, no, that's her territory. Don't forget, when Lizzy was ten her mother would disappear for weeks at a time, leaving Lizzy to parent Juan and Lita all by herself. Yeah, she's not just gonna step aside and let you two take over. - Are you saying that we should let her parent the kids? - Are you paying attention? She's 15. She's a terrible parent. She needs to be a kid. Now, you gotta step up and become the parents. - But you just said she won't let us. - Nope, she won't. You know, Karen, you've been a godsend through most of this, but you're just about to piss me off! You won't get anywhere with her until you two get on the same page. - Right? - That's right. If she's hostile with you again, maybe try using the three R's. Okay? Number one: regulate. "Lizzy, why don't you take some deep breaths, count to ten." Number two: relate. "I understand that you're upset. Nobody likes to feel this way." - That's good. - Number three: reason. "Lizzy, it's okay to be angry. What's not okay is to threaten to slash our throats in the middle of the night when we're asleep." - Hmm? - What? I'm sorry, did I...? That was actually us. Our story. - Yeah. - Last session. The little guy didn't follow through with it though.
