New floors.
New paint.
Safe neighborhood.
Kenner is one
of the safest cities
in Louisiana.
You would be zoned
in an excellent school
for your girl.
The special ed program
is very good.
There is just
so much light.
All right,
what's the catch? Hmm?
Faulty plumbing
or a leaky roof?
I'm telling you, nothing.
It is completely
move-in ready.
What? Look at this kitchen!
Mm-hmm.
Oh.
Ethan.
What do you think?
Oh, it's--it's okay.
It's got A.C.
Not real happy
about them stairs.
Honey, you're not gonna be
on crutches forever.
My husband,
he fell off a ladder
at his job.
Enough with
the pity party. Damn.
His, um, meds make him
kind of cranky, you know.
But he's in P.T.,
but with the back
and the legs,
it's just real bad.
But you know what we got
a great settlement,
and it's just enough
for me to get my dream home.
Mama!
Hey.
Oh, this yard.
Definitely
a selling point.
Imagine throwing
parties back here.
Ah, I don't know
about parties,
but I could definitely
and just
watching the sunset.
Mama, look!
Look!
Oh, my--
I see, my love.
Oh, my word.
This is beautiful.
Mom, I can
feel it coming.
Oh. Oh, all right, dear.
All right.
Okay. All right.
You're okay.
You're all right.
You're okay.
It's, um--
It's a petit mal seizure.
She suffers
from them regularly.
Oh. Um...
Look at the tree.
Look at the tree.
Look at the tree.
Here you go.
You're okay.
You're okay.
There you go.
See, she needs
a safe place,
a place full of magic.
I'm ready to make an offer.
Destiny, where's
your other hair clip?
Well,
the owners couldn't ask
for a better offer.
We have one more
showing today, but--
But you'll tell them
about us, right?
I mean, you'll tell them
about my--my daughter,
my husband's struggles?
You'll tell them
that we deserve it?
Well, I will
call you this weekend,
and I'll let you know.
It's a strong offer.
Okay.
Hi.
Well, you're too late.
No, no, no.
Come on in,
Mr. and Mrs. Wade.
Come on in.
Okay. Well,
there's the creek.
Holy crap.
My goodness.
They had these for months.
Turn it off.
I want to see
what I found.
Destiny.
Is that candy?
Oh, God.
Destiny, baby,
you can't do this
at the new house.
You gotta do better, baby.
The--The new house,
it's big and it's beautiful
and it's perfect.
Finally, our chance
to get out of this dump
and start fresh.
Madison!
Oh, jeez,
it's--it's full of spit!
How long you been
spitting candy in here?
Will you help me
up the stairs?
I need help!
Will you just
give me a minute?
Oh, jeez.
No, I'm throwing it
away, Destiny.
It's filthy!
But it's mine,
and I want it!
I need help!
Stop it!
It's mine!
I want it!
Destiny, stop!
Can you help me
up the stairs?
Hello.
Yes?
Madison?
Yeah, could you just
hold on a minute?
Just--Stop it!
Madison, you better
not be on that phone!
Give it back! Give--
Give that to me.
Can you hold on just a minute?
Madison,
get off the phone!
Give me this!
Madison,
get off the phone!
Hi. Yes, I'm still here.
Um, please tell me
we got the house.
Please tell me
we got the house.
Yes, I'm--I'm sorry, too.
Mom! Mom!
I want my bear!
Mom, I want it!
Mom!
Madison!
I want my bear!
Mom!
Mom! Mom!
You're working too hard,
and it's too hot out here.
Go inside and sit
in the air conditioning.
In our new home?
We did it.
We did.
Uh-oh!
We caught you!
PDA! PDA!
Hi.
Hi, I'm Pam.
This is my husband, Eddie.
We just live
right over there
down the street.
We're the neighborhood
welcome committee.
I'm Thom.
And I'm Theresa.
So, where y'all from?
L.A. Just transferred
from Cedars-Sinai
to Ocshner Kenner.
Oh, you're a doctor.
I got this mole on my back.
Think you might want
to look at it for me?
Oh, stop!
And who is this?
Either August or Isla.
We don't know yet.
You didn't find out
the sex of your baby?
As long as it's healthy.
Oh, honey,
but how you gonna know
what clothes to buy
or what color
to paint the room?
Sweetie,
that's so impractical.
This must be your first.
No. Um...
Oh, well, I hope you like
my world-famous harvest gumbo.
It's got plenty
of pumpkin spice.
I'm just one of those girls
who loves
and her Uggs in the fall,
even though it is
80 degrees out.
What do they say?
A basic b*tch.
Oh, sorry.
I hate that word.
You don't like
the word "basic"?
Oh, I'm sorry.
No, thank you.
Well, we're gonna let y'all
get back to unpacking.
Welcome to the neighborhood.
Thanks again.
Take care.
Bye.
Bye.
We'll see you later.
Bye. Louisiana's
gonna eat them alive.
Nosy old biddy.
Stop. She's just
trying to be nice.
Who criticizes
a pregnant woman
for being impractical?
And she doesn't know us.
She doesn't know
anything about us
and what we've been through.
Exactly. She doesn't know,
so let's just
give her some grace.
They would have been
three years old now,
running around
in that backyard.
I wish work
didn't start back so soon,
and I wish that I could spend
every second here with you
until the baby comes.
No.
We would kill each other.
Besides, usually
this time of year,
I'm prepping students
of testing,
staying late to deal
with parents and IEPs,
and even when I was home,
it was that horrible building,
so I could hear
