Uncle Darryl hides the bodies.

"Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow."

Darryl, this is Sarah.

Sarah Parsons.

Go ahead. Put your suitcases

in the back of the truck.

You sure you're okay with this?

Yeah. One more won't

make any difference.

Who was that? Some local girl.

Looks like the lost kingdom of cars.

I'll be in the workshop.

Hey, I want you to meet Sarah. She's

gonna be staying with us for a while.

Right, Sarah?

There's some more groceries

in the back of the truck.

Could you please get them, Lenore?

Where should I put my stuff?

My room's a closet. She'd

have to sleep on the floor.

She can have my room.

I'll sleep on the couch.

Thank you, Conrad.

Um, where's the bathroom?

Oh, it's to the right,

and down the hall.

Your father met Sarah when he was

working on a house in Scottsdale.

He said the mother was unstable.

She was abusing the girl.

I don't know the details.

But he wanted to get her out of there

and thought our family could help.

Well, there's no other relatives?

What about the rest of her family?

There's no one. She

has nowhere else to go.

You know, every time you get depressed,

some abused orphan shows up on our doorstep.

That's not true.

Mm-hmm. And then you drape her

in all my favorite jewelry.

She needs our help, Lenore.

Our help, or your help?

Your father asked me to do this,

and I'm honoring his wishes.

I'm sorry, honey.

Lenore doesn't deal very well with

change, but she'll come around.

You remember Robert, don't you?

You look happy.

We were.

Go put your stuff away.

Connie will help you.

I need to make dinner.

You always give in. Remember that last kid, Bobby...

When he wrecked your gamer?

Mom gave you major sh*t for it.

You never said anything.

Just... shut up, Lenore.

Don't tell me to shut

up. You know I'm right.

You're always right.

Hi, Uncle Darryl.

So, you gonna finish

that overhaul today?

- What's he doin'?

- He gave Sarah his room.

He offered to sleep on the couch.

No, no, no. Not there.

It blocks my view of the TV.

You know what? I'll do it. I just--

Oh, my God.

Ugh! Lenore!

I knew this was gonna happen.

Jefferson.

Ohh, that's disgusting.

Shh.

It's gonna be okay.

- Hey, hey, hey, hey.

- The door was open.

Do you want to go back to that

group home we got you out of?

Then please, respect

other people's privacy.

You and Helen grew up here?

Please.

She was a foster child, like you.

Came here when she was 14.

So Robert was her foster

brother and her Prince Charming?

My brother was no prince.

That's mean.

Brothers always fight.

That's what my dad said.

Did you hate Robert?

You're a cagey piece of work, aren't you?

What's this for? Hey, careful!
