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. So, when I was eight years old, my mom and her boyfriend decided it would be a good idea to build a meth lab in our garage. They made me deliver drugs for them. They abused me physically, and some of their customers abused me sexually. Uh, when I was 11, our garage exploded, and I was put in the system, bounced around from placement to placement. Pretty soon I was 14. Nobody wants a teenager, so I'd be aging out in a few years. The thing is, over half the kids who age out of foster care end up homeless, addicted, incarcerated, or dead within two years.

- Put these on. - What? Just put them on. Lizzy, I know you're angry. At us, at the world. Maybe at yourself a little bit. I don't know, and you're not talking. Truth is, when I'm pissed, I don't like to talk about it either. But you know what I do like to do? - Oh! - I like to break shit. R... Really?

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...

I'm thankful for my beautiful grandchildren, including the... the very lucky kids that are soon to be adopted by two wonderful parents. I'm really thankful for that too. That is really inspiring stuff, you guys. Well done. Yeah, about that. Actually, we... Yeah, we've decided together not to move forward with the foster thing. Yeah, we just realized we hadn't thought it through properly, so... Yeah! Jesus Christ. This is great news. I mean, we were all being supportive to your faces, but... Yeah. We all thought you were out of your minds. I never said anything, but I'm thankful to hear this. What? Why? - Ellie, let's not. We're holding hands. - No, no, no, no. I would be thankful to know why you all have a problem with this. - Hey, I never had a problem with it. - I think it's smart. Have a couple kids without the pregnancy and the hormones and the... the rage. - Stop talking. - Ellie. All I'm saying is that we're thankful that you and Peter are gonna experience having the love of your own beautiful children rather than... - Rather than what, Jan? Just spit it out. - Hell, I'll say it. Rather than just rolling the dice with the offspring of some criminal or drug addict. To be honest, we were worried about our real kids' safety... - What? - ...were they to hang out with your kids, if they're... Damaged goods? When I was growing up, a lot of people thought I was damaged goods too. Pete, we're not talking about you, man. We're talking about crack babies and kids who have been sexually harassed. "Sexually harassed"? What do you mean? Their parents made lewd comments? - You know what I mean, wiseass. - Open your stupid eyes.

Like, four... - Four? - ...teen. Fourteen? Oh, my God! - I knew before we got married, okay? - That's the point. We don't have a year-long engagement on this thing. If we say "yes," they're in our house next week. Did you feel a cosmic connection? No, I didn't feel a cosmic connection. I felt like I was... I felt like I was babysitting other people's kids. I agree. - With what? - With you. With me wanting the kids or not wanting the kids? - Whatever you want. - That's not an answer. Then just give me 14 months to think about it. How 'bout that? Come on.

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.
