There's something I'd like to do, and I was hoping I could get your help setting it up. - Sure. What are we setting up? - Of course. Anything. So I was talking to Karen and Sharon, and they... Uh, my mom got out a few months ago, so... And I haven't seen her. I was hoping I could see her.

- Lizzy. - Please just go away. You're not my parents. No, we're not. But you know what we are? We're here. That's right, we're here and we love you. What? No, you don't. You don't even know me. Hey, what the hell's going on out here? Could you just give us a few minutes, please?

Oh. Hi. Hey. I don't know if you guys remember us. Pete and Ellie from foster orientation? - Oh, yeah. - Hi. How you doing? Uh, what can we do for you? So now she wants to come back and be Mommy again. And it looks like she's got a real shot. Lizzy, she's treating us like we're the enemy. Now we don't know what the hell to do. 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! Brenda has struggled with substance abuse ever since her mother's boyfriend started her on meth when she was 11. Sometimes she stumbles. But she is a good kid. And she's in there doing the work, getting herself clean. So you don't know what's gonna happen. And this has you feeling what? Frustrated? Scared? Lost? Is that it?

So I said, "Young lady, we hear about you throwing food in the cafeteria one more time, and you're gonna have a couple of lunch dates." Next day, the behavior continued. So we went to the school and joined her in the cafeteria. Chattin' up all her middle school BFFs. I walked them through some of my better bird-watching stories. They were completely uninterested. But that food throwing has stopped! Good. Good. Would you like to share your news? - About the couch fire? - No. About your .26 hearing. Yes.

- Huh? How'd that feel? - It felt good! - Feels good, huh? I told you. - Yeah. Now... Whoa, whoa! Don't waste it, all right? I want you to do me a favor. I need you to think about something that really pisses you off. - You got it? - I got it. - Are you sure? - I got it. Let's see it. Bust that shit up. Yes! - There you go. You like that? - Yeah, that was good. All right, come on.

Speak of the devil. What are they doing here? You never said I couldn't have any people over. Everybody knows you can't have people over when you're grounded. You know that too, because they obviously came in through the window. This place is disgusting, by the way. - God, what a Nazi bitch. - What did you call me? I don't know. You just seem like a Nazi bitch. Get out. Now. - Out. Both of you, out. Go! Now! - No, you get out of my room. No, no, I'm staying in your black room. These guys are leaving. No, out the window, Pussy Riot! Way you came in! - Out, now! - Holy shit! Out! Out! - Oh! - You're literally crazy! - You're driving me crazy! - Oh, my God. What are you doing? - You're acting like you're a psychopath. - Start the car. - What is going on in there? - Lizzy, please, I said you're grounded. - Where are you going? - I'm calling my caseworker. That's a good idea, huh? Get CPS to come, make your little brother and sister pack up their court bears and trash bags in the middle of the night and move them back to the Muskies? - That'll be really good for them. - Better than you. No! Not better than me! I can't with you. Can you please deal with her, Pete? - Hey, Lizzy, you're gonna... - We're really good people! We just want to make a nice home for you. Is that so wrong? You're just another white lady who wants to adopt little charity orphans to make you feel good about yourself. Pete, you tell her what my nationality is! Tell her! Well, actually by blood she is... I'm one-eighth Comanche, okay? So I'm not that white! And do I look like I feel good about myself right now? Okay, then tell me! Please tell me! Why did you suddenly feel the urge to get foster kids?

Lizzy, want me to show you your room? - Okay. Yeah. - It's just here. I'm so sorry you have to carry all your stuff in these awful bags. - If we knew... - No, no, it's cool. Fun fact: that's actually how you can spot a foster kid. The kid carrying her whole life in a Hefty bag.

She just comes out here, she takes all this stuff out, and she can't bother with the one second it takes to close a stupid door or put anything in the sink. - What happened? - I found my hairbrush in the toilet this morning. - What? - I told you that wasn't me! Of course it was you. I left it in the bathroom for you. - Juan and Lita aren't even up yet. - I'm up now, Miss Noisy Pants. I'm sorry, sweetie. I thought we were really connecting. I left it there for her with a nice little note, with hearts on it and stuff. - Oh, my God. - I didn't do it. - Wow. Hello. - What is that? You're wearing that? Are you going to a strip club? Sorry I don't dress like an uptight douche like you. - You don't talk to my wife like that! - This is from Ann Taylor. Loft! You know what? Go put some clothes on, a lot of them. - Then get in my truck. I'm driving you this morning. - Oh, my God! You guys are so annoying! - Change the clothes. - It's not that big of a deal. - Hey. - Do I dress like a douche? - No. Make sure she gets out to my truck. - Bye, Daddy. Bye, sweetie.

Oh, is that that boy Jacob? The one that just picked up that bit of trash? - Don't freak out about it. - No! Why would I freak out about it? He looks like an artistic type, like you said. - You think so? - Definitely! - Look at that face. - Yeah. Conscientious. Picking up trash. Yeah. Yeah, he is. Yeah. - Well, have a good day. - Thanks. You too. - Okay. - All right. Careful with your foot, Juan. Bye, Lita. Well, did you see that? Definitely starting to hate me a bit less, right? Maybe.
