the best place to go. - Go for what? [dog barks] - Hello. - Good morning. - Don't let

your sister eat those. Those are death caps.

They're poisonous. - What did she want? - Nothing. [water bubbling] [knife chopping] [suspenseful music] - Just keep

slicing your carrots and don't do

anything stupid. - Stop it. - What's wrong? You don't think

I'd hurt you, do you? [timer buzzing, dings] Good evening,

Ms. Burgess and Kevin. - Mmm. - [laughs]

both:
Oh. - Kevin gets the big plate,

because he's a big man. - Wow.

This is a big helping. - Girls,

this was very sweet. Thank you.

It looks really good. - Just think. Soon we'll be a family... all of us. You too, Kevin. - Okay.

Cheers. - Bon apptit. Mmm-mmm-mmm. - You know, I didn't get

very many mushrooms. - You want some of mine? - Yeah. That would be great. Thank you.

- Have plenty. - Thank you.

Thank you. Q? - Quinn, On't-day eat-ay. On't-day ea-tay

ha-tay. Quinn. Quinn. Quinn, can I talk to you

for a second in the other room? - Mm-hmm. - Why did you do that? - What do you-- - Quinn, you need

to go to the bathroom. You need to make the mushrooms

come up now. Please, just do it. - Why, Olivia? You wanted to kill just Kevin? Is that it? - So you knew the mushrooms

were poisonous. You switched them.

Quinn. Look, you think what you

did was right, but it's not. - And what you did

to Gail was right? - He is putting the idea of stopping the adoption

into Jen's head. He's going to mess this up. I am looking out

for Mom and us. Quinn. - So happy to see you

up close. It's been so long. I missed you so much, Sis. Thank you for seeing me. I'm so happy you've been

so open to getting better and just making

your life easier. - Yeah.

Well, I tend to mess things up. Don't I? - Getting better--

that's all that matters. I want to talk to you

about something, something that's gonna

help you and the girls. - Well, I'm no mother

of the year, but I certainly want

what's best for my girls. Lately, it's dawned on me [scoffs] I'm not doing

such a bang-up job. - [chuckles] This is gonna be

a sensitive subject, and I want you

to just hear me out. Okay? I've gone back and forth in my mind so many times, and I've weighed--and

I've weighed all the options about what would be

the best thing for you, for the girls, and they're doing so well

with me, Cassie. - They do seem better. - They really are. I'm wondering how you

would feel about if they stayed

with me permanently. I think it would be

a really good thing for you. I think you could focus

on your healing. You could stop

worrying about them. I actually spoke to the girls

about it already, and... you know,

they're such sweet girls. They're really worried

about your feelings, how you're gonna feel

about all of this. But I think

it's what they want too. You know, the legal--

the legal course of action, I think, would be going through

with an adoption, so I could--I could enroll them

in the school by my house, and they would start

in the fall, and get them ready for college, which I would be-- I would be

so happy to pay for. Everything is, um-- it's outlined here

in these papers. Take a look at it,

and see if you-- - If I even consider this,

I want you to promise me I won't lose my girls forever. - Cassie, I promise. Nothing is forever. You are gonna finish

your treatment. You are gonna get back

on your feet, and with a little time

behind you, you're gonna come back to us.

Okay? You're gonna live with me

and the girls. You are always gonna

be their mother. - You got that right. But what I can't quit

thinking about is how-- is how you think

you're saving my girls from me. It's how-- how you think

you're saving my girls from me. Jen, Jen, Jen,

Mommy's favorite. Little Jenny always

saves the day. - Cassie! - [sighs] Who am I kidding? I'm ruining their lives. They're better off with you. Even I know it. I'll sign your papers. - Hey.

So... we're right

on schedule. We're the next

case up. - Thanks. - The judge is ready

to make a decision. He's encouraged by the paperwork

we've provided, and even more encouraging

is that Cassie willingly signed

the adoption contract and refused independent counsel. It's a really good sign. - I think Cassie's

in agreement that this is the right thing

to do for the girls. - Ms. Murphy, the judge will want to

ask you a few questions. - Sure. - All rise. - Please, be seated. Ms. Cassandra Murphy, you're the biological mother

of Olivia and Quinn Murphy, twins, age 15. - Yes, your honor. - And Ms. Murphy, did you willingly sign

a contract relinquishing all parental rights to Olivia

and Quinn Murphy, your biological daughters, to Ms. Burgess,

your biological sister, to fully adopt

the aforementioned daughters? - I did. - As a family court judge, it is very important that

I am convinced a birth mother is a willing participant when relinquishing

parental rights. Do you understand me,

Ms. Murphy? - Yeah. Yeah, I get it. So I can't even put

my kids up for adoption without messing that up? I'm crazy and completely

unfit to be a mother, and she sits here,

perfect. She gets everything

she wants. Everything!

- Bailiff-- - Let me go! - Take her

out of my courtroom. - Yeah, I am

the perfect mother. - Bailiff, get her

out of my courtroom now. - I want my kids back. I want my kids back.

I want them back. I want my babies back.

I'm the perfect mother. Let me go. I want my babies back. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry! [plaintive music] - So the judge

is granting the adoption. See, after the violent outburst,

he felt it better for the girls. So congratulations, all of you. I hope this is

a healing time for you all. I wish you all of the best. - I love you, Sis. Okay.

Let's go. Well, it's official. Girls, I just have to tell you

I'm so happy-- happy for our futures,

and I'm happy for your mom too. I just--I love you both so much. - We're happy too. - We're gonna be a great family. I have some good news

for you girls. Your mother's doctor approved

her for a free day tomorrow. So tomorrow, we are gonna

all go on a picnic together. What do you guys

think about that? - Cool. Where are we going? - There is a great little

mountain location that your great-grandfather used to take your mom and I

to when we were kids. It's really beautiful. - Olivia, come on.

We have to go and get Mom. What are you doing? - Stay out of it. - You and Mom

are up to something. I know it. Please, tell me. What is it? Who's that for? - Something for Mom from me. - Okay.

Just you. What is it? - I can't trust you. [loud buzzing] - Okay. You guys, we're gonna be late. Where's your sister? Quinn? [portentous music] [eagle cries] [mysterious music] - Girls, your grandfather

used to take your mom and I

up this same road, except for we would drive in

the back of his pick-up truck. Mom used to come with us

too sometimes. Right? - Maybe. She had better things to do, usually with someone

named Rocko or Bud. - She wasn't all that bad. - Easy for you to say. She was a lot nicer to you. - Mom, I got you something. - Can't you wait? - You know, we don't
