MR. LEOPOLD: Previously on "Endlings"...
SPARKY: This is fun.
‐ But we did meet a new endling.
TABBY: Giant crab.
‐ Thought it looked more like a lobster.
JOHNNY: Especially after you blasted its shell off.
‐ Sorry!
[endling groaning]
‐ You want me to tell you what I remember again?
WOMAN: Hello? ‐ Mom.
Was she happy to see me?
‐ Uh... yes!
SPARKY: Located.
‐ Who did you locate?
SPARKY: Your mom.
‐ So you said that Tabitha has been opening up.
What about? ‐ Oh, did she tell you about the alien?

No. I could have sworn.
I'm sorry.

I've just had a lot on my mind lately.
‐ The Leopold kids?
‐ Yeah, yeah.
‐ It's not easy, is it?
Caring. They don't prepare you for that in school, do they?
‐ No, they don't.
How do you...?
‐ Cope?
Well, I think about what my first placement taught me.
That kids who need the most love will ask for it in the most unloving ways.
So in my hardest days here, I remind myself
that they've had it harder
and they're looking for us
just to believe in them and protect them.

‐ Wasn't he with you?
Maybe he went to see our new mama.
NOAH: So this is it. Whoa.
It's like it's looking right at me.
‐ Focus.
‐ So, what are you looking for?
‐ Weaknesses.
No matter how strong of a person you are,
there's always someone who can make you weak.
‐ Is that Greta for you?
Sharon taught me that strengths and weaknesses
are two sides of the same coin.
A strength in one situation might be a weakness in another.
‐ What else does Sharon say about weakness?
‐ That there's two things that show weakness.
One is being silent when you should speak up.
‐ And the other? ‐ To speak up when you should be silent.
‐ Now is a time to be silent, Noah.
There you are.
