- Titus's mom shows up at an inopportune moment when a social worker is performing a home visit to determine if Erin and Titus can adopt Amy.
- Ken was a tough father to Titus and always disciplined him whenever he did anything seriously wrong, like underage drinking, stealing and so on.
Titus and Erin's plans to formally adopt Amy are thrown for a loop when Titus' insane mother Juanita (Connie Stevens) unexpectedly shows up at the house, coming to seek Titus' forgiveness.
Alice Hays (Octavia Spencer) is the child case worker evaluating Titus and Erin for adoption. Erin wants everything to go perfectly with Alice. Titus finds Juanita in the kitchen with bloodied hands, admitting that she killed again. Alice is in the drawing/dining room, while Juanita is in the kitchen. Titus desperately wants the 2 of them to be kept away from each other. Juanita has tried to kill Ken many times before. So, they came up with an emergency Standard Operating Procedure to deal with this situation. They came up with a code word to communicate the Juanita situation to each other. Titus calls Ken and Dave to check if they are both alive and gives them the code word. Titus wants Alice out of the house, but she thinks Titus is being evasive to her questions and evaluation.
Alice refuses to leave until Titus forgives her. As Titus handles the situation with Alice, Ken, Tommy and Dave walk in with arms to kill Juanita. Erin tells Alice it is theatre night. Erin says that the family is rehearsing a play, which Tommy and Dave claim is a musical. Titus takes the guys into the kitchen, and he can't find Juanita anywhere. Titus opens the closet where he had hidden her and Ken starts shooting, which brings Alice into the kitchen. Titus claims that it was a car backfiring. Alice says that she heard 4-gun shots.
This is when Amy walks in and Amy and Titus get into one of their fights. Titus calls Amy a lesbian psycho. Alice says her job is to put Amy in a safe environment and this isn't it. She asks Amy to pack her bags. Erin is angry and wants Titus to make things right.
As everybody looks for Juanita, Titus finds her in the front porch, where she asks for Titus's forgiveness and asks him to tell Alice that he would take care of Amy the same way his dad took care of him. Titus has to do the same thing that Ken did to get custody of him. Ken did whatever it took to keep Titus safe. Titus forgives his mom. Alice comes out and Titus tells her exactly what Juanita told him to. Titus says that he was visited by his mentally insane mother, but whenever she shows up his entire family turns up to defend him. Amy will not be safe with her addict parents or in a foster home. This is the safest family for her. Alice gives custody to Erin and Titus and leaves.
Titus still has his mother to deal with, whom he had hidden in the closet of the living room. Things get weirder when it is revealed that Juanita is dead in another state from a suicide, which she committed 4 hours ago.
