So, that's two dead ends and no other leads.

That I may never find her. Okay?
And-and at this point, what would it change, anyway?

A complete betrayal of my trust.
But it was... Sweet.
So I'm gonna let it go.
- He needed a hand. It was no big deal.
- You gave him your most sacred possession.
Seems like a big deal, to me.
- It was just a wrench. (sighs)
- I used to worry you were gonna leave me for that wrench.
The way you used to fondle it. - Yeah, nice kid. (sighs)
He needs it more than I do.
Bea: Sammy! - Uh...
- What's the matter?
- Is it that obvious?
- I know my son's face well enough to know
When something's wrong. - (sighs)
- Uh, okay, um...
I...
I've been looking for my biological mom.
And-and I didn't wanna tell you but now I just feel bad
Because I didn't, and-and I wasn't trying to hide it
But I-- - take a breath, sweetie.
It's okay.
- It's not about finding my real parents, okay,
Because you guys are my real parents,
And-and it's not because you did anything wrong.
(fingers tap on mug)
Dad? - You know...
We always wondered if you had any questions.
We were afraid to ask.
We should've. - We didn't wanna push you.
We always thought you'd come to us.
And now you have.
- So you're not upset? - No! Never.
- I just wanna know where I came from.
And-and I didn't want you guys to think that...
I was trying to replace you. - (chuckles)
Oh, where else are you gonna find two old hippies
Up to their eyeballs in debt? Hmm?
Ken: I know it's-it's wrong, but uh...
I was always a little glad we never found her.
Even after all that looking in, you know, hospitals, police.
It would've been so hard to let you go.
I mean, impossible.
Our family wouldn't be a family
Without you, sammy.

- Do you have any... Leads?
- Yeah. (paper crinkles)
Do you have any clue what this is?

Rhian was in her "maximum security" phase,
After we let her watch "serpico".
- She tried to burn off her fingerprints.
And she built a safe room in the wood shed.
- She took a picture of every vehicle
That came into the campground.
Ah, just in case there was a murder.
Ah, here it is.
That crazy church bus.
Bea: Christ on wheels.
Well, it was basically a delivery service,
But you got the word of god instead of pizza.
- Yeah, run by a pastor and his wife.
They toured the south shore
Looking for christians on vacation.
- Well, you can't force people to go to church,
But you can chase them down in a jesus bus.
- I mean... It's hard to tell but...
Maybe she looks like me?
- It's hard to say but I see a license plate, son.
Could check it out. Maybe get a name?
It's worth a shot, huh?

Huh! Rejected.
They won't even let me take the ged.

On your placement test, crystal.
They won't let you take classes because your test score
Means you just got your diploma!
(laughs) - what?
Oh, my god!
Did I just graduate high school?
98 percent. - Yeah.
- Oh, my god!
I'm a freaking genius! - (chuckles)

And all I had to do was throw some eggs!

Nora (on radio): Mornin' lovers.
I've got one question.
Is today gonna be another marathon of the mundane?
Or should we venture into the great unknown?
Okay, my new show, time to flash the unknown my junk.
I have been hanging on to a lot of baggage.
Mistakes.
And apparently an old decorative pillow
That smells like hash and ass.
But the time has come for a spiritual purge, people.
I'm gonna lay it all bare.
But... Don't think that you're off the hook.
If you've been hanging on to something,
Whether it be an orphaned sock from an ex,
A residual shame about the taxidermy you beat off to.

They cool? - Yeah, they were...
Kinda the best.
And-and dad dug up a license plate
He thinks had something to do with my birth mom.
- Detective bros back on the case?
- Yeah. - Oh! I betcha terry
Would totally run the plates for us on the dl.
Maybe see if it's registered to an address, and then we--
- Already did.
Got a name. And an address.

That could be her, ry.
