[narrator] Previously on sMothered...
-Hello. -What are you wearing?
[Gabriella] My mom and I have always worn matching outfits.
It's just one of our things.
[Catherine] I'm wearing Gabriella's thong.
-[Lauren] That is-- -[Sophia] Unsanitary.
One, two, three.
My mom's only concern is me winning
Miss Connecticut USA.
And so, that's a lot of pressure because I can't let her down.
[Trevor and India] Bingo, bingo!
My mother-in-law and I have been close for a very long time
and her moving here has just forced us to get even closer.
-[India] Ohh. -[Trevor] Yo, Ma, your hair is so soft.
-[India] Mmm-hmm. -[Trevor] Wow.
[DeLeesa] My husband and my mom
have the most disgusting relationship.
-[laughing] -Uh-oh!
[DeLeesa] We have two toddlers,
I'm super pregnant.
You'll get home when you get home.
Right?
It should be me and him,
not my mom and him.
I would love for my mom and TJ to be together more often,
so we can all be a family together.
She's my baby.
Oh, until she moves out.
She's not moving out.
I own her, not you.
Would you look at mom?
What's with her today?
-I've never seen her passed out at a party. -[woman] I don't know.
You know, I'm turning 65 and I thought,
you know, like, have a little birthday celebration
-run-through funeral. -[man] Where you getting?
Ooh, it's not very comfortable.
A few weeks ago, I got some news from my doctor.
I-I can't believe I'm looking at this.
I know I need to tell Cristina,
but I don't know when it's gonna be the time to tell her.
* I'm confident, I'm a queen *
* Do you know what that means? *
-[Gabriella] Lauren-- -[Sophia] Oh God, Gab, you're over the line.
[Lauren] Gab, you're such a bad driver.
The pageant is two weeks away
and I'm so stressed out, we have so much to do.
Mom has us drink celery juice every single day to stay calm.
Mmm, it's delicious.
-I had my final fitting just a couple of days ago. -Mine too.
[Gabriella] Dress lady's texting me pictures of the outfits.
Oh my gosh, let me see that.
[Gabriella] My dad is picking up my dresses today.
And she's making my dresses, don't forget.
-All matching. -[Gabriella chuckles]
So, if you got that, you're gonna get this.
[Gabriella] The top five interview question
is definitely my weak spot.
The only thing I'm confident in is my walk.
And you still have to work on that.
* I'm confident, I'm a queen *
* Do you know what that means? *
[Catherine] Okay, where are they? [chuckles]
-Oh my gosh. -[Gabriella] Sisters, over here.
-Are they over here? [gasps] -Yeah.
-[Lauren] They are. -There they are.
If you have a gorgeous face
and a killer body,
but you don't know how to walk,
you will not make top five.
Absolutely.
So, today we're at the zoo to practice our walk.
With the experts.
[Gabriella] Guys, look!
[Catherine] Oh!
This is what we came for.
-Oh my gosh, they're cute! -This moment.
[Catherine] Oh, there's the leg!
-[Gabriella] There's the leg. -[Catherine] There's the leg.
Do you guys see? This is what we came here for.
So, when you go the zoo
and you see the flamingos lift their leg and walk forward,
that's the exact walk that I have to emulate.
-Let's go in here. -[Catherine] Yeah, let's go in here.
We walk with the flamingos
at least once a week.
But, now that the pageant is this close,
we've to go every day.
[Gabriella] Oh, look at them!
It's helpful to watch them walk.
They're elegant.
-They're graceful. -Mmm-hmm.
And they have that stride.
Why do you think their leg looks so long and skinny?
[Catherine] Okay, so let's just watch them.
-I love their long legs and the grace. -[Gabriella] Look at them go.
-Graceful. -[Lauren] He just pooped.
Don't poop on stage.
Stay focused.
Pageants just seem like a waste of time.
-It's just-- -And money.
-Yeah. -They're so expensive for no reason.
It's just pretty girls
flaunting themselves on the stage.
And they say that there's like,
"Oh, well, you can use pageants to like, help people."
No, you don't.
-[Sophia] Oh, I know. -You, like--
The-The pageant girls are so fake.
They'll like, be doing something
-for like, "community service". -Yeah.
And they'll be like, "Here's my crown, take a picture of me."
"Um, at the soup kitchen, just, "Take a picture of me
-pretending to I mean-- do something." -Uh...
-But, none of them actually care. -No.
[Catherine] Up. Up.
Up.
-[Gabriella] Just like-- look at him, look at him go. -[Catherine] Up.
-[Gabriella] We're going together, we're in sync. -[Catherine] Yes, that's you!
Up. Up.
Okay, let's do it this way now.
Come on. You keep everything else very straight.
But, it's very important--
[kid speaking]
[Catherine] We're walking with the flamingos.
-We're walking like the flamingos. -Yes.
We're learning a pageant walk.
'Cause I'm competing for Miss Connecticut USA.
I don't mind strutting at the zoo.
We're there to practice.
If you're not comfortable with going to a zoo
and walking,
how are you gonna go on stage and compete?
Exactly. There's a lot of psychology
that goes into my training with her.
Yes.
[Gabriella] Look at us guys, look at us go.
[flamingos honking]
[Catherine] Ready? Yes.
Focus.
Nice. Turn.
Be a flamingo.
-You are a flamingo. -[kid speaking]
[Lauren speaking]
[Gabriella] Because we're matching.
-Do you ever-- -[Catherine] We always match.
-[Gabriella] Do you ever match with your mom? -No.
[Catherine] Oh!
So, when we were little,
Cath always put us in matching things.
- From like-- yeah. -[Sophia] All four of us.
[Lauren] Including her.
We grew out of it.
-They continued doing it. -Gab did not.
[Lauren] And like, I feel like it's causing Gab some issues.
I feel like,
you need to be your own person.
She barely has any life outside of working at the salon
and preparing for pageants with Cath.
[producer] Daughters...
Well, because mom sees herself
as one of the sisters.
Yeah, like, when we have friends over,
she thinks it's like, cool to have her around
'cause she's "one of the kids".
-They should be proud of us-- -[Ethan] Hey guys, how's it going today?
-Hello. -Hi.
You guys, can you join me back here, please?
Our flamingos are trying to breathe.
Come on out, please,
and you can do it in front of the rope line.
We just came to the zoo for a nice day
for, you know, family time
and these ladies are walking around,
strutting their stuff, dressed like each other.
I just think that was a little too much.
[Ethan] Thank you, ladies.
-[Lauren] We don't need to be difficult. -[Catherine] All right.
[Lauren] They're not even walking.
You could see them just as good out here.
[Catherine] All right, well, why don't we pack up?
Go home, and practice our top five questions.
So, while I'm like, really confident
in like, my walk, my wardrobe and my preparation,
I am still pretty worried about the on-stage question
which is the hardest part of the pageant for me.
Last year, she answered poorly on the top five question.
She came out with some mumbo-jumbo answer.
I thought I was watching a bad movie.
I couldn't believe it.
But, that is not gonna fly this year.
I'm looking forward to getting on the wall
and showcasing my talents.
I am a true believer that exercise is the best way
to be healthy.
Today, we're going to the rock climbing gym,
something that TJ suggested to us
'cause it's something he already did.
He really likes it so I thought
"Maybe we should bring my mom along."
Why not?
Because I mean, it's like a double date.
-What are you doing? -Nothing.
-[TJ] Okay. -Are you sure you could do it with your nails, though?
I'm worried about your nails.
-Listen-- -I don't want you to go like,
[clicks tongue] "Oh, I broke a nail."
I really want my mom to get along with TJ.
Especially because she doesn't really know him.
I really want her to start thinking TJ's part of our family.
So she'll be happy when I tell her that we're engaged.
We're here, girl, we're here, girl. Woohoo, we're here.
All right.
[Laura] This is our red rocks and Moab section
which is where we'll be climbing today.
-[Brittani] Okay. -[TJ] Wow.
Yeah. So, who wants to start?
-I can. -I will.
-Ladies first. -[Laura] Nice.
Okay, step on up.
[Mary] The other night during our bath time,
I realized, no matter what I try to convince her about TJ,
I hate to say but, you know,
I believe, it's...
in her eyes, true love.
-I guess you can't go wrong with extra protection. -Right.
[TJ chuckles]
[Mary] I don't wanna hear anything from the peanut gallery.
I love my daughter.
So, I promised Brittani that I would try and get to know TJ.
And have him get to know me better.
-[Laura] Small steps right up the wall. -[Mary] Yeah.
Okay, you shocking me right now.
[Mary] Because if he's gonna be close to Brittani,
then he should get a little bit closer to me.
-[Laura] Nice. -[Brittani] Look at that booty on her.
Yeah, I got booty.
[TJ] Oh, oh.
-Oh. -[Mary] I'm doing it.
Good lord.
-Come on, mom. -Move your left foot up just a little bit.
[Mary] All right.
I think I'm pretty high.
[Laura] Okay, come right on down.
-[TJ and Brittani clapping] -[Brittani] Yay!
-[Laura] Allow you to catch yourself... -[TJ] Very impressive.
...when you get to the bottom.
-There you go. -[Brittani] Whoo.
She got a nice heinie.
Aw, thank you.
That's very, very nice you said that.
-You have a nice ass too. -[chuckles]
[Mary] Very perky, that's good.
It's kinda how I want my boobs.
Perky, right up there baby. Whoo.
-Let me get this done. -Yes.
Here we go.
There you go.
[TJ] Okay.
-There you go, sweetie pie. -[Laura] There you go.
[TJ] Right foot, right foot.
-Come on, baby. -You got it.
Look at that little butt she has.
-She need a little more. -[Mary] You go. You go.
-[TJ] She needs a little more, that's all. -Look at that
cute, little buns, look at them, they're adorable.
-Come on, girlie. -[Laura] Nice.
Okay.
[Mary] I think she has a cute butt.
[Laura] Nice move.
[Mary] You know, I was trying to give TJ a shot, but...
by TJ saying that Brittani has no butt,
and he wants a bigger butt on my daughter,
that really, really pisses me off.
To the point where I wanna rip his face off.
[Laura] Yup, just a little, right foot up a little.
There you go.
-[Laura] There you go. -[Mary] That's okay.
[TJ] You got this, you got this.
-[Brittani] Oh my God. -[TJ] Oh, okay.
[Laura] You're good.
[TJ] You got it, babe.
-I'm gonna tell you what... -[Laura] Right foot up.
-There you go. -...you know...
-[Laura] Nice. -She's gonna be living with that little butt
because that's what makes me happy.
[TJ] I'm just telling the truth.
Keep going, girl.
Keep going.
Couple more moves, you've got this.
One more-- there you go!
[all cheering and applauding]
I knew she can do it.
-[Mary] Oh, honey, you did a good job, sweetheart. -[Brittani] Oh.
[TJ] You did good, you did amazing.
[Mary] Come here, honey.
-Here. -[Laura] Good job.
[Mary] For her, I am trying.
I really am trying.
But, I mean, like, who the hell is he to say
my daughter had a flat ass?
If he wants a Barbie, go get one.
My daughter was born a Barbie.
Okay? He-He wants a certain Barbie,
with wide load put on the back of her.
-[TJ grunts] -[Laura] Doing great.
I wanna say to Brittani,
"Dump his ass."
-I kinda wanted to talk to you about my mom. -Okay.
I just feel like something's up with her.
I've really been worried about my mom lately.
Once she gets here, just ask her if she's dying.
Plain and simple.
I wanna ask my mom, but I do not want the answer.
Ask her.
-[Cristina] Mom-- -Ask me what?
* Oh, look at me, I'm on fire *
* Never sleep never tire *
[Cristina] Hey.
-Carlo. -Yeah.
[Cristina] Can you come meet me in here?
I got some stuff.
And I wanna show you.
-Hi. -[Carlo] Hi.
Nice to see you too.
-Come in here and follow me. -What's up? I don't know--
You're screaming for me.
I didn't know what was going on here.
* Watch me now as I do what I was born to do *
[Cristina] I got the other table cloths
-for in here and I wanna put 'em out. -[Carlo] Okay.
[Cristina] So, you wanna help me take this one out
and put it on here real quick?
I've really been worried about my mom lately.
I mean, ever since she told me all the women in our family die at 68,
you know, it's made me really watch her closely
and I'm noticing
that she actually is slowing down.
-I kinda wanted to talk to you about my mom. -Okay.
-Well, I don't know-- -[Carlo] What now?
I just feel like something's up with her.
Like what?
So, she's been planning her funeral
and all these, like, requests she has
if something, you know, should happen.
-Okay. -[Cristina] Like, she fell asleep at the party.
I feel like something's up with her and it's like, bugging me.
But, she is older.
I don't think I'm ready to handle that.
[Carlo] Okay, and I understand that, but...
I mean, that's where you go and enjoy yourself with your mother
and the kids and-- [chuckles] why are you getting upset?
[softly] I don't know.
-[crying softly] -[softly] Oh my gosh.
-Listen-- okay. -I just think it was-- it was--
-[crying] -Relax, relax. Relax.
What if there's something really wrong?
Nothing-- nothing's wrong.
-It's just-- -Like, I--
-Is this-- is this necessary? -You're gonna have to put me in a mental ward
is something really is wrong.
I won't be able to like, function.
I see my mom everyday.
Without a doubt, at some point, I will see her.
Even if we don't have time to actually, like spend together,
whether they are like, we go to lunch,
go do something,
I will do a drive-by, she'll run out the front door
we'll do a quick talk.
And then, at night time,
she's the last person I talk to before I go to bed.
Without my mom, I could not live.
Why are we focusing on such bad stuff
-and-- I understand that-- -Because her main focus is this
funeral party, like,
I actually had to see her laying in the casket.
-She laid in there. -Is she...
-You guys are-- -They had to put it on the floor.
[Carlo] There's-There's something wrong with you guys.
-[phone rings] -Speaking of.
-Hello? -[Kathy over phone]
[Cristina] I'm over at the pizza place.
Oh, your phone went out, all right, I'll see you.
-[Kathy speaking] -All right.
Can you, um, go make that?
Yeah, I would just-- you know, once she gets here,
picks up the pizza, just ask her if she's dying.
Plain and simple.
Just come out and say it.
I'm not asking her that, go make the pizzas.
Cristina should come out and ask her
and say, "Listen, what's going on?
Are you all right? Are you not?"
You know, it's good to know.
But, at the same time, it's gonna happen. It happens to all of us.
Why get upset about it now?
Until the day comes. enjoy every moment you can have with your mother,
her mother, whatever.
Here, I'll get it.
[woman] Cristina, your mom's here.
-[Cristina] Okay. -[Kathy] Mommy's here!
Kids are starving.
-What's up? -[Kathy] What's going on?
-Not much. -[Kathy] Busy?
-Yeah, I mean, busy-- -[Kathy] Of course.
-Always busy. -Ask her.
-[Cristina] Mom-- -Ask me what?
Not-- how're you feeling?
Great. How're you feeling?
Tired.
-[Kathy] Oh, I'm sorry. -Oh, see, you too.
Nope, not me.
-Just ask her. -All right.
When she shoves the pizza at me and says, "How're you feeling?"
And I was like, "Great."
I had a feeling that she was-- something was wrong.
'Cause she would never do that.
All right, I'll see you in a little bit.
I'm gonna finish up in here and then I'll see you when I get home.
-[Kathy] All right, ciao. -[Carlo] Come on.
-[Cristina] All right. -Bye.
-[Cristina] Good bye. -Oh my God.
[Kathy] My daughter knows me so well,
I can't keep hiding my medical issues from her.
So, why would you keep saying, "Just ask her?"
-[Carlos] Because we care-- -She's gonna start asking
-and saying, "Ask me what?" -[Carlos] Did you see-- did you--
-"Ask me what?" -Did you see-- Wait, wait, wait.
Did you see how energetic she was?
-Okay, right now, she's energetic. -[Carlos] Hold on.
I know, but I'm just saying,
-it's a perfect opportunity. -I'm gonna say, "Hey, mom, are you dying?"
How do you ask someone, like,
"Is something seriously wrong with you?
Do you not wanna tell me?"
But, I know I need to do it.
I need to ask my mom what's going on
once and for all.
* Get it on the floor *
* Can't stop, won't stop, baby, come for more *
* Bring it down *
-[DeLeesa] You grumpy. -I'm not grumpy.
-[DeLeesa] Got you! -[child chuckles]
-[DeLeesa] Yay! -[Toni] Do me, too.
[Trevor] Ohh!
-[DeLeesa] Yay! -[Toni] Mommy, do me.
[DeLeesa] Y'all are some swingers.
-In the correct definition. -[Trevor] This is all they wanna do.
-Stop kicking. -[laughs]
-[child chuckles] -[Trevor] Crazy little show.
[India] I cannot wait to walk through that door
to see you.
That's-- You just make my day when I come in the house.
-[Trevor chuckles] Hey! -Hi!
-[Trevor] How was work? -[India] Oh, it was good.
Give me a kiss, ugh.
[Trevor] She gets that second wind as soon as she sees us.
Like, she's excited, you know.
So like, I love that point of the day, like, when she walks in.
-[India blows raspberry] -[chuckling]
And the girls are like, "Grandma!"
-And I'm just like, "Hey, ma, what's up?" -Yeah, "Grandma!"
And it's just-- it's like--
uh, it's probably my favorite part of the day.
* Bring it back, bring it back *
* Go side to side and bring it back *
* Now bring it back *
* Bring it back *
Yes, I am, you hungry?
-Are you hungry? -No.
-[India] What? -[Trevor] You're not hungry?
-What? -[chuckling]
[DeLeesa] Life was amazing
before my mom came to live with us.
Me and my husband, we were best friends.
At home, we would have our movie nights.
Just spend like, great quality time together.
And I miss that, because now my mom is here,
she's hanging out with him all the time.
Are you okay with the girls? I'm gonna go help her with the food.
All right.
If I said no, would you stay?
-They're playing. -[DeLeesa] Okay. All right.
I don't know why I asked. Mmm-hmm.
I have really had enough with their relationship.
They wear matching clothes,
they feed each other,
they leave me out of everything.
Ew.
[Trevor] It's not that serious.
You don't do that to my husband.
I can do what I want to.
-Okay? Yes, I can. -No, no you can't.
-No, you can't. -[India] Yes, I can.
If I wanna rub his nose, I can rub his nose.
-Okay? -No, no.
-Don't even try it. -You don't need to be doing all that.
I--don't tell me what I need to do.
That's my son.
You know, we like seafood, so I got some seafood.
[Trevor exclaims]
[both] Whoo!
-It's on! -[Trevor] That's what I'm talking about.
[India] I love getting gifts for you, Trevor,
because you're always so-- you know, so happy
and it just makes me feel good to give you gifts.
All right.
-Oh, yeah, oh! -[India] Ooh!
Oh, ooh!
And later on, down the road, when I'm not here anymore,
you have them gifts to go back to.
And the memories of that-- what we have.
Well, say "Hi, Joe."
All right, you too clo--
You play too much. [laughs]
And the gift you brought me
-was crabs. -[laughs]
[Trevor] All right.
Mommy, I'm gonna eat my sandwich.
-Wow. -[Trevor] Here you go.
Do you like-- You like it.
Is it good?
-Oh, yeah. -[laughs]
Are you seriously feeding him?
[Trevor speaking]
Thank you.
Ah.
Are you gonna feed me, too?
[India] Oh, I can't, I can't with this girl. Lord.
[Trevor] Mommy got a 'tude.
-I don't have a attitude. -Say, "Mommy, you got a 'tude."
-[chewing loudly] -[Trevor] Is she mad at me?
[Toni] Daddy, what is that?
[DeLeesa] When I agreed to let my mom come live with us,
yes, I was hopeful that we would rebuild our relationship.
But, all it's doing is driving a wedge between my husband and me.
I can't keep living under these stressful conditions.
Like, I cannot.
And it's not fair.
-Thank you. -[India] You're welcome.
[DeLeesa clears throat]
-So-- -Good.
[Tori cooing]
What?
Um, just was wondering...
have you been, like, looking for places to...
move into? Like apartments, houses?
[muffled laugh]
[Toni speaking indistinctly]
Mommy.
-Mommy. -I'm not answering that.
[DeLeesa] Why can't you answer me?
[India] 'Cause I don't feel like it.
Is there sauce over there?
-No. -[India] Like soy sauce or something?
-[Trevor] Yeah. -We're at the table,
we don't need to even talk about that.
It's just one question, that's all I want.
Eat your dinner and stop talking.
I just wanna know, are you looking for a place? That's it.
You invited me to come down here to live,
and now you're asking me do I have a place?
Like, that makes no sense to me.
No, he invited you.
So, what is the problem, DeLeesa?
My mother has lived with us for two years at this point.
It hasn't felt that long.
It really hasn't felt that long.
It's felt like forever.
It sucks because that's my mom,
I can't even have a good relationship with her.
But yet, she's having this amazing relationship with my husband
who I introduced her to.
It's like, [bleep] damn, like, can I just get you back?
I just, I just... Just me and you, just me and you.
I know you love him,
-and I know you guys could live together forever. -[India sighs] Oh, Jesus.
But hi, I'm here, too.
I really don't think it's that big of a deal.
-Like, I took, like-- -It is a big of a deal.
It is a big deal.
I'm gonna put the girls to bed 'cause this is ridiculous
-and I don't wanna argue in front of the girls. -[India] Okay, good night.
-[Toni speaking indistinctly] -[DeLessa] Yes, baby.
[Trevor] DeLessa wants her mom to move out.
But, at the end of the day, it doesn't feel like the right thing to do
because, like, you don't, you don't put family out.
I believe that wholeheartedly.
DeLessa needs to understand that we've had this bond
for a very long time, like, that bond's not gonna change.
It doesn't have to be a competition.
-That's right, it's not a competition. -You know, like,
my mother-in-law's not competing with her for anything.
Most people would love to have their mom around.
But, I don't know what her problem is.
[DeLeesa] The girls are sleeping.
-They're sleeping? -[sighs] Yeah.
So, can we talk now?
Like, can we have this conversation now?
Yeah, there you go.
Whatever, DeLeesa.
Go ahead, what do you want? You wanna know when I'm gonna move?
-Whenever. -What does that mean?
-What does that look like? -[India] Here we go. Here we go.
-One answer... -Can I have a timeline? Can I have--
You just wanna nag! Stop already!
I'm not nagging. I have a question I wanna know.
And I already told you,
and I'm not gonna keep answering the same thing over and over again.
-Whenever-- -Okay, nah, nah. Enough
You see, that's so disrespectful.
-[India] It's not. -But, if I did that to you, you would have a problem.
-That's so rude. -Enough. Enough!
[Trevor] It's the most frustrating thing to see all the fights that go on
day in and day out, and it's like,
I feel like I'm just kinda caught in the middle of it
and I'm just trying to make both sides happy.
We're gonna have to figure something out.
'Cause this, this can't continue.
I fight this fight with DeLeesa so much
because if my mother-in-law wasn't a big part of my life,
I'd be crushed.
[Mary] What's this?
[Brittani] I want a butt.
Next surgery I really want is the BBL,
the Brazilian butt lift.
This is not from you, though.
TJ is doing this. He's whispering into your ear.
No man should come into her life and bring her self-esteem down.
He's not gonna do that to my daughter.
Over my dead body.
[singer vocalizing]
Come here, I'll help you get in bed, and I will put some cream on you.
I need a foot massage. I'm always on my feet.
[Mary] Sure.
[singer vocalizing]
[Mary] All right, I've put a little bit on your feet.
[Brittani] They hurt.
You've been on 'em all day.
[Brittani] I'm always on my feet.
Yeah, I know you are.
I was, um...
doing your laundry the other day
and I came across something in your drawer.
[Brittani] A vibrator? Ha-ha. Big surprise.
It wasn't a vibrator.
[Brittani] Then come on, what's the worst?
I will...
I'll show you.
[Brittani] Why are you acting really suspicious?
What did my mom find in my drawer?
My vibrator?
I mean, it could be a whip.
It could be a paddle.
It could be...
Who knows.
I have a lot of crazy stuff. [chuckles]
[Mary] What's this?
[Brittani] I want a butt.
Next surgery I really want is the BBL,
the Brazilian butt lift,
to bring my whole body all snatched together
and make my body look more hourglass.
Because I don't feel like it's in proportion right now, honestly.
I just got the butt pads just for my satisfaction,
to see if I liked it or not.
[Mary] Brittani, you don't need a butt.
Mom, I'm flat.
[Mary] Honey, you're--
Do I have to show you the millionth time?
I have a flat ass.
Brit, so you're really gonna go out in public and wear these things?
No, I'm gonna wear 'em around the house.
I'm just trying to see if I actually want a butt.
This is not from you, though.
This is not you.
-See, this is something that TJ... -[Brittani] Mom.
TJ is doing this. He's putting the...
He's whispering into your ear.
She's never had an issue before,
she's never complained about her bottom, her butt before.
Show me, show me how it's gonna look.
And then, she meets this guy,
and all of a sudden, it's, "I need to try this out, and it's for me,
and I really want this BBL."
And, I just... I'm not understanding it
because she's never complained before.
[laughing] Oh, my God.
Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.
[laughs] Oh.
That is really freaking really, really bad.
I can't allow you to wear that.
It looks like you got two big rocks,
one on each cheek of your ass.
-My gosh, are you here to argue with me? -Look, did you see yourself?
Honey, do you see...
This looks so ridiculous.
-You're always trying to argue with me. -What the hell is this?
They look better probably as booby pads, not ass pads.
[Brittani] Um, I always thought my flat butt
was because I was overweight.
You know, when you gain a lot of weight,
you lose your features.
Then, I'd lost a lot of weight and I still had a flat butt.
I'm like, "I've been working out most of my life.
If I've been working out that long
and I'm still not forming a butt,
what's the next step?"
Okay, here's the thing between you and I,
if you had another surgery, I wouldn't care
because I know that's your body, your choice.
As soon as I want something, it's like, "No, Brittani, don't do it."
You're ridiculous.
I just don't want you to look ridiculous.
I didn't say that's what I want as a butt.
I just wanna see as a reference for myself.
You mean you want TJ to see
-for a reference? -[Brittani] Who would keep--
Why do you keep mentioning TJ?
[Mary] Because I know TJ's the one,
he wants you to have a big, big ass.
If I truly believe that Brittani wanted this BBL,
then I would accept it.
But, I truly only believe that she wants to do this surgery for TJ.
Every time I start to like him,
there's something else that happens.
No man should come into her life
and bring her self-esteem down.
[sighs]
He's not gonna do that to my daughter.
Okay? Over my dead body.
Go ahead.
What worries me most about the pageant
is the top five question.
Can you explain philanthropy?
-I don't know what philanthropy is. -[Sophia snickers]
If I don't nail that question,
that's it for the pageant.
* Let me live it up *
* Ah *
* We never get enough *
[Lauren] We're back with the cake.
-[exclaims] -Who ordered this?
-[Gabriella] Wow. -[Lauren] Me and Soph went the other day.
Mom, do you wanna eat my face?
[Catherine] I want the lips.
[both laugh]
* Let me live it up *
* Ah *
[singer vocalizing]
* We never get enough *
-* Oh, yeah, yeah * -* Just can't get enough *
* Let me live it up *
[Catherine] Let's do some questions. We have the microphone.
Do you have some questions that you can ask her?
Oh, yeah.
-[Catherine] Okay, good. -I'm sure we can come up with something.
[Gabriella] The pageant is right around the corner,
and my walk feels great, I know I'm gonna kill that,
and my dad's picking up the dresses,
but what worries me most is the top five question.
It was my downfall last year,
and I know that if I get to the top five,
I'll have to answer one again.
And when it comes to top five question,
they can ask you any question on any spectrum.
I struggle with reading comprehension,
I always have, I have a learning disability.
So, when a question gets shot at me,
I get confused.
It could not go well sometimes.
This is the top five,
like, at this point, all the girls are good, and they kinda determine
-who they're gonna crown after this. -Yes, I know.
You never know what I'm gonna say.
[Lauren] That's for sure.
[Catherine] Oh, Lord.
I mean, last year, she was asked a simple question,
and she bombed that.
It was worded wrong, anyone would get mixed up.
Gab, what's the right to bear arms?
What is the right to bare arms?
Because my arms are really hairy,
like, genuinely, I have the hairy...
We're all related.
-I have the hairiest arms in the room. -She has the hairiest arm.
-[Catherine] Don't worry. No, they're pretty-- -[Gabriella] So, if this is
the right to bare arms, I am not a part of it.
Because my arms are hairy as hell.
[laughs]
-[Gabriella] Yes. -And that's why she bombed
-the question last year. -[Sophia] "Bears," you know, the Second Amendment.
Go ahead.
Can you explain philanthropy
and how it can be used to make a positive impact on society?
-I don't know what philanthropy is. -[Sophia snickers]
[Gabriella] It's a hard one.
Okay, I just wanna let everyone in the room know
that if they ask a question like that, you pull the fire alarm.
We're not playing anymore. You hear that?
Who's on fire alarm duty?
Pull it, and we run.
Okay?
It's very hard to answer a question when you're nervous
and put on the spot.
And you're in front of an audience of hundreds of people.
-That's it. -That's a lot of pressure.
[Catherine] Yes.
If I don't nail that question, that's it for the pageant.
-[Catherine] Have some watermelon. -[Lauren] Why?
You need to have some fruit
-because you need glucose in your brain. -Brain power.
Take a bite.
-Don't put the whole thing in, you'll choke. -[laughs]
Here.
[Todd] I'm home.
[Gabriella] Oh, thank goodness.
-Do-ey, we need you. -Oh, my gosh, what happened?
She was still working on the dress all afternoon
and she didn't quite finish.
-[gasps] -What?
-No, it's done.
-I have it. -Oh, he's playing with us.
-Oh, gosh. -Do-ey.
You scared me.
[Gabriella] Do-ey's our dad,
and I call him "Do-ey" because he's a doer.
He can change a tire, he can braid our hair,
mow the lawn,
-change the cat's litter box. -[laughs]
-Make the celery juice. -Make the celery juice.
Without even breaking a sweat.
He has time for it all.
[Todd] What are you doing?
-[mumbling] -[Lauren] Pageant questions.
Oh. Okay.
Yeah, Gabriella does, uh, rely on her mother to help her out.
Although, she's getting older, she is still a little girl
that likes to have her lunch and breakfast made for her.
So, I think that, uh, that Gabriella sometimes spends more time
with my wife than I do.
I have some questions for you.
-[Catherine] All right. -[Gabriella] You have a question?
[Todd] Sure.
What are three traits of a title holder?
A title holder should be caring,
bold and resilient.
I've seen this quality in my mom a lot.
She worked for so many years
to become Miss Connecticut USA
after seven tries.
And I see so many of those qualities in her,
and those are the...
Those are the qualities of a title holder.
Your first good answer.
Let's go, girls. One, two, three, clap.
-Let's go, girls. -[Lauren] You kinda stumbled.
Come on! Give her some support.
I just gave my support.
[Catherine] Gabriella has been competing,
this will be her fourth year. She's always made the top ten.
The best that she's done has been fourth runner-up,
but that is not gonna fly this year.
-No way. -Absolutely not.
We are not going for fourth runner-up.
-We're not going for third runner-up. -No.
We're not going for first runner-up.
-We're going to win. -Yes. Mm-hmm.
-Good job. -Thank you.
What's going on with you?
[Kathy] What's going on with you?
I just feel like something's different with you.
[Kathy] Okay.
I went to the doctor.
What?
* Now, here she comes *
* Strutting through The school yard *
* She's on fire *
-Hey, girls, what's up? -[woman 1] How are you?
-Good, how are you? -[woman 1] Good.
-My daughter get here yet? -[woman 1] No.
-[Kathy] Ah. Is my bed open? -It is.
-Of course. -[Kathy] All right.
Get me in there before that psychopath gets here.
All right, you're all set in room ten.
[Kathy] Terrific. Thanks.
Hey, girls. What's up?
-[woman 1] What's up? -[woman 2] How are you?
Tired, as usual.
-[woman 1] What bed would you like? -Um, ten.
-Your mom's in there. -[Cristina] Shut up.
Every day my mom and I meet at the tanning salon at the same time
-to tan. -To fight over the same bed.
We fight over the same tanning bed.
[Kathy] Somebody said, "You should try bed number ten",
I go, "I've never even been on the other side of the building.
What... That's all the crummy beds over there."
The girl goes, "You should try it."
I went in there, and it's like a bed from the '80s.
[Cristina] She called me one day and she said,
"Did you try bed ten?"
I said, "Bed ten? What are you... No, I don't go,
I go on 17 or 16."
She said, "No, go on bed number ten!
It's the bed. I'm telling you."
So, I started going in it,
and it really is the best.
From now on, hold that bed for me.
-Tell her someone's in it. -[woman 1] I'll tell her that.
No, I'm serious. Like, between 8:00 and 9:00.
-[woman 1] I will. I'll be like, "It's reserved." -Yes.
-Now, everybody's gonna be going on bed ten. -I know.
We gotta stop telling people.
[Cristina] You're a jerk!
I hope you don't go to sleep.
[Kathy] You're annoying me!
Good!
I can't believe I have to go on a stand up.
[Kathy] Ha-ha.
* Hot little number *
* One and one makes two *
* Hot little number *
* I'm making time so I can be with you *
[Kathy] Every morning after tanning,
if Cristina doesn't have running around to do
or has to go to Pizzaboy, I make breakfast for us.
But lately, she hasn't been staying.
She's been, like, kinda ducking out on me.
And it's weird, a lot of things
with Cristina have been kinda weird lately.
-[Cristina] Ma? -Yeah, come on in.
[Kathy] Something's wrong with my stove, it keeps clicking.
-Uh, well, did your stove ever do that? -[Cristina] No.
-[Kathy] It just... When I turn this one burner on. -[stove clicking]
-[Cristina] Did you try to turn on the other burners? -[Kathy] Yeah.
-And it just won't stop clicking. -And it still won't stop?
[Kathy] I don't know what's wrong with it.
I found out something really good.
-[Kathy] What? -Tony's boat's for sale.
Why is that really good?
I think we should buy it.
Are you out of your mind?
No, I'm just saying, you know, and maybe we could go
-in on it together. -[Kathy] No.
-And I think it would be really fun. -[Kathy] I hate boats.
[Cristina] You don't wanna do this, you don't wanna do that.
-What's going on with you? -What's going on with you?
-Nothing's going on with me. -You've been weird lately.
I haven't been weird. You've been weird.
You've been all...
worried about everything you're eating.
-You've been all falling asleep... -I would be--
...at my daughter's birthday party, so random.
-Oh, come on. -No.
What's up with you?
[Kathy] I'm not even going there.
Well, I'm just saying, I don't get it.
I just feel like something's different with you.
[Kathy] Cristina, let's not get into it.
That sounds like something, if you say, "Let's not get into it," right now.
[Kathy] Okay.
I went to the doctor.
What?
[Kathy] Not a horrible thing,
I found out that I have diabetes.
-Are you kidding me? -So, I have to watch what I eat.
I'm not drinking,
-I'm not eat-- -Who knows about this?
Nobody.
You didn't tell anybody?
-[Kathy] No. -You don't tell me?
You tell me when you go to Walgreens
and they're taking forever on your whatever, your prescription.
You don't tell me that you went to the doctor
and that you have diabetes?
I mean, are you gonna have, like, a stroke and die?
I... Uh, well, I hope not.
I mean, I wasn't taking it that far.
[voice quivering] I mean, what the hell, Mom?
It's not like it's, uh, a death sentence.
Yeah, I know. But, like, how bad is it?
People have heart attacks who have diabetes. People--
That's why I'm watching what I'm eating.
-That's why I'm not-- -But, you don't tell me,
and then you've got me all weird, like, "What's wrong with you?
-What's wrong with you?" -Because look at how you're acting.
Because you didn't tell me.
Now I'm pissed that you didn't tell me.
Of all people, I knew something was up with you,
and you don't even [bleep] tell me?
[Kathy] I don't wanna tell anybody about my diabetes.
That's the last thing you want as a parent.
To be a burden on your kids
or have them worrying about you.
I used to worry about my mother and I hated it.
I hated always being worried about her.
And I don't want my kids to, um...
I don't want Cristina to worry about me.
I want her to have fun and live her life.
I don't want this to be something that's, you know, dragging her down.
And it will.
It will.
Now, let's just watch it and see how it goes.
I'm not dying from it yet or anything.
No, you're not gonna die. Don't say that.
I'm so mad at her.
I don't know, like, what to expect with this.
I don't know is this, like, very dangerous.
And what's really bothering me,
'cause I'm putting it all together, is this why
she wants to plan this living funeral.
She actually does have something wrong.
[sighs] All right. I have stuff to do.
[Kathy] Of course, you do.
So, I am going to leave.
I will call you later and check up on you.
I'm fine, don't worry.
You don't have to check up on me.
[Cristina] I'm mad at her, but I'm also, like, worried for her.
I mean, yeah, she's right down the street,
she's practically my neighbor,
but, you know, she's down there without me.
And that's what bothers me.
It's not like she has me living in her house
to check things.
So, you know, I'm very concerned about it.
[Sunnie] My mom's always at my house.
There's times that she comes to my house
and she doesn't go home for three to four months.
Your mom is basically your chastity belt.
-[Gabriella] We're up. -[Catherine] We're ready.
[Gabriella] The pageant is this weekend,
so part of me is definitely very, very nervous
'cause I'm like, "Everyone's expecting me to take home this crown."
[Catherine] Miss Connecticut USA, here we come.
[Sky] It's Skylar Marie's birthday,
and every time I do a party, oh, you best believe,
I'm shutting the city down.
* That's her ass, that her... *
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, I am so [bleep] embarrassed.
-What the hell is this? -[Carly] You have to suck it.
It won't even come up the straw!
-You have to suck it. -That's a superfood.
Why not just eat the spinach?
Why do I gotta put it in a shake?
I'm the mother,
-you're the children, I'm still the boss. -[Cristina] We don't care.
[Mary] We go to the nude beach three to four times a month.
[TJ] Give me a fresh hug.
[Mary] The only reason I'm here is because I wanted to spend time with my baby.
I just feel like I'm being pushed out of her whole life.
