[all cheering]

[children] Previously on
Doubling Down
with the Derricos.

How you feel
about public school?

I just feel like
I didn't have anything
in common with them.

I went to in-person school
for approximately five months.

But I think
I learn better academically
home-schooled.

I'm telling you,
you need to make friends.

Maybe you should think
about getting a little
job or something.

[woman] Touch your nose,
then touch your mouth.

-Good job!
-[laughing]

Our little awesome Dawsyn
was born with a heart defect.

She had to have
two open-heart surgeries.

We're just blessed to have her
still here with us.

It's special.

[Deon] We in here
in GG's house.

There was
substantial water damage.

You and Eric could come
and stay with us.

I just never liked being
a burden to nobody,

but he don't wanna accept
no for an answer.

Y'all just stop
fussing over me.
That's what you do.

Y'all just stop
fussing over me.
That's what you do.

That's what family is
supposed to do.

[GG] My white blood cells
are low...

and they said
they're very low.

[Deon] And a simple cold
could really make her sick.

She can't be around people.

She can't technically
be around us.

I think I need to move out.

-I hate it.
-I know you hate it.

But I understand.

[all cheering]

School is over
for the day, hallelujah.

Dayton, Dacian,
you don't blow that one
'cause that's a big one.

Dayton, Dacian,
you don't blow that one
'cause that's a big one.

Yeah, you see
how Deonee's doing it? Yes.

Hi!

I do. I do.

[Deon] So, baby, so how are
they doing in school?

I think they're
all doing good.

I think we're all doing
a lot of tweaking
each day to...

I think we're all doing
a lot of tweaking
each day to...

-make this right here work.
-Yeah.

Homeschooling 14 children
has been demanding
a lot of my time.

I guess this is
part of the challenges
that come with that.

Of course, it's the beginning
of a new school year,
so it's always like that.

Yeah, it's like, some days,
it's kinda... [groans]

-funky.
-...funky little...

Yeah, how you...
In a funky little way.

[Darian] Hi.

-[Karen] Hi, Darian Derrico.
-[Deon] What's up, Darian?

I just checked on GG.
She's doing really good.

I just checked on GG.
She's doing really good.

She's just resting.

[Deon and Karen] Oh, good.
Thank you, baby.

[Deon] I don't want her
to feel too out
of her element.

I mean, that quarantine...

-We know that could... Yeah.
-That thing does something.

-That does something
to your soul.
-Yeah it does.

Yeah.

Right now my biggest concern
is just keeping
my mother safe.

Her white blood cell count
is low and is very,
very worrisome,

considering she has
another chemo session
coming up.

So while she's staying
with us, in order
to protect her immunity,

she's sort of
under strict quarantine.

Plus she needs
peace and quiet.

-Right.
-So I'd just rather
move her somewhere else.

-Right.
-So I'd just rather
move her somewhere else.

When she said that, I'm like,
"Yeah, Ma, I get it."

-Yeah.
-I really do.

So, my mother is really
wanting to move out...

but GG's house
is currently being renovated

for the damages that
it sustained during the floor.

So I'm actively
searching through
my list of rental properties

to try to find my mother
a house to stay in,

but I haven't had
one come available yet.

Yeah, so, I'm looking
for a solution
to make everybody happy.

Oh...

I needed that hug, Dior.

[Deon] Anyway,
what's up, baby girl?

[Karen] What's up? What's up?
How is school going?

[Karen] What's up? What's up?
How is school going?

It's going good.

So, I was thinking
that now that I'm not going
to regular school

and I wanna meet new people,
I thought it would be
a good idea if I got a job.

-I like that, I guess.
-I like that, too.

It's not easy to make friends
when you're homeschooled

because you're not getting out
and you're not seeing
people every day.

I mean, I'm 16.
I need to start looking
for my independence

and find a life
outside my house.

You have an idea
what kind of job?

Something with food, maybe.
Maybe. Maybe not. Depends.

Something with food, maybe.
Maybe. Maybe not. Depends.

Most 16-year-olds are, like,
out partying, having fun.

I'm at home
watching my siblings.

So I wanna find someone
who understands how I feel,

like a friend, or a date.

I want somebody
who's fun, overall.

I just want
somebody who's fun.

And...

I need money.

I need money.

My first job was
at a restaurant.

-[Karen] Mine was too.
-My very first job was at
a chicken restaurant.

-[Karen] Mine was too.
-My very first job was at
a chicken restaurant.

-What about yours?
-Burger joint.

I worked the drive-through.

I loved talking to customers
and I think this is
good for her.

[Deon] And she's gonna learn
many life lessons.

I remember
witnessing my mother

just so angry whenever
her order was wrong.

So I took great pride
in making sure
that I got their orders right.

You would have thought
my job consisted
of protecting the president.

That's just how much pride
I took in it.

At the age you are right now,

At the age you are right now,

-I had been
working for a year or so.
-Hmm.

So, I think that's
a good thing, baby.

I think it is, too.

-He just poured it.
-[Karen] Don't pour it out,
Diez!

[Deon] Oh, my God.
Yeah, burn off that energy.

This is your
after-school program.

[Deon] How long
do we keep them for?

About three more hours.

-Oh my God.
-[chuckles]

-I hope your mother and father
come get y'all early today.
-[laughs]

[Deon] All right,
so, listen up babies.

Poppy and Mommy wanted to call
a family meeting...

Poppy and Mommy wanted to call
a family meeting...

to discuss a situation
that we need to help out with.

Remember Tiffany
who passed away,

but she donated
her donor tissue to Dawsyn

'cause we did
the heart surgery

-and that's how we were able
to save Dawsyn, right?
-Yes.

[Deon] Dawsyn was
only one week old

when the doctors discovered
that she had a hole
in her heart

and that it would require
open-heart surgery
to repair it.

[machine beeping]

Hi, my awesome Dawsyn.

Hi, my awesome Dawsyn.

[Deon] We have stayed
really close
to our donor family

over the years
and, as a result of that,

they've become
our extended family.

Unfortunately,
the donor's mother,
who we call Mama Debbie...

was in a terrible car accident

and it has left her
temporarily paralyzed.

[Deborah] I have
a spinal injury.

I can't walk right now.

[woman] Financially,
it is a struggle,

but it's a two person job
taking care of my mom
right now.

[Karen] We'll be
calling y'all soon.

[Karen] We'll be
calling y'all soon.

We're gonna
help make this a...

-A little smoother.
Just a little smoother, yeah.
-A little smoother.

We actually love you guys
so much.

[Karen] You know, Debbie,
she's in a hospital

and they are just
really going through

a really, really,
really tough time.

And I wanna do more for them.

-That's important
because Tiffany gave us...
-The little things...

Her...

-No, her...
-Tissues.

Yeah, her tissues.

So now we have
to help them back.

So, we would like to do,
like, a fundraiser.

We're hoping to at least
raise enough money to pay for

one month of Mama Debbie's
physical therapy.

It would be $750.

So, we would at least like
to cover that for them.

[Deon] Within our community,
especially being
so connected to Church,

is the belief that you should
do unto others
as they would do unto you.

[Karen] And right now is
the perfect time

for us to put
our belief into practice.

Amen.

Amen.

Well, me and the six singers
can sing our love song

and then have a hat
so people can just
give us money.

And that's a great idea.

I just don't know
how lucrative that'll be

'cause usually people, like,
donate a dollar
or two dollars.

We can have
a fried chicken sale.

-That's not a bad idea.
-I can make my banana bread.

[all laughing]

Mommy is a good cook,
let me start with that.

Mommy almost
burned up the kitchen.

[Deon] Okay, Deniko?

I think that we should do
a car wash.

[all cheering]

That is a good one, Deniko.

We did them in high school
and we really made money.

What does the average
hand car wash cost?

It's $40.

Oh, okay. Yeah,
we making that bank.

-[all laughing]
-[Darian] I got it.

You know how in movies,
the girls be in slow-motion
with the shorts.

You know how in movies,
the girls be in slow-motion
with the shorts.

-Nah.
-Yes, yes.

And the guys, you know,
the guys with the shorts.

Oh, hell no.

So, someone has
quit their diet

and they are
not going to the gym.

It's like...

Look at the... Do you see
that big muscle?

-That's a muscle?
-That's a big muscle.
Yes, that's a big muscle.

Got the sexy dad bod
sitting next to you.

-Now, if I gained
all of that...
-You'd be outta here.

-Now, if I gained
all of that...
-You'd be outta here.

[laughs heartily]

All right, raise your hand
if you want to participate
in Deniko's carwash.

All right, so, I think,
the car wash it is.

[all cheering]

We haven't done
a car wash before
and I feel like

we're gonna get dirty
and all that stuff.

But, hey. I'm fine with it

-if we're trying to
get Mama Debbie money.
-For sure.

All right, so, yes,
let's get started
on that to help

All right, so, yes,
let's get started
on that to help

another part of our family.

Mama Debbie
and them is our family.

[all cheering] Yes!

So, I'm currently at
the chemo session with GG.

I'm being her support today.
Normally, Rico would come.

So it's important
that I'm here with her

because this is
a lonely process

because this is
a lonely process

and to be here
with her physically,

at least she don't have
to feel alone.

[GG] Eric has helped me
while I go through
these treatments.

I mean, when you're a person
that's been independent
all your life,

you don't look for help.

And to get it that easily
and that readily,

it's beautiful.

[nurse speaking]

[GG speaking]

This is my
second chemo treatment

and the first one
was really rough on me.

The nausea and the pain,
the weakness,

it's all so hard to deal with.

it's all so hard to deal with.

Sometimes I question
whether or not it's worth it.

I'm still a little nauseous.

-Okay.
-[GG] That last treatment.

[Dr. Parikh] You did good.
I mean...

No, I didn't. No, I didn't.

[Dr. Parikh] Just
the nausea, right?

Dr. Parikh, I was a mess.

Like, tired mess or...

I get up and walk
from here to the door

and I feel like
my chest is gonna cave in.

Yeah, so, sometimes,
when the shocks don't help,

Yeah, so, sometimes,
when the shocks don't help,

so that you feel better,

sometimes you need
a little pint or two
of blood to help.

So, if I needed to give you
a blood transfusion,
and I'm not saying I do,

not quite there yet,
but if I needed to,
would you be opposed?

I don't particularly want it,
but I mean, hey...

I don't want what I'm doing,
but it's there. So...

I'm gonna see the rest
of the blood from today
when it comes in...

and then, if it's low,
we may call you
to set it up.

So, we'll see.

Every time I think
I see a light
at the end of the tunnel,

there's another procedure.

I wanna keep fighting
for the sake of my family...

but I don't know
how much more I can take.

[Dr. Parikh] l'll make you
feel better, for sure.

Hopefully.

My name is Darian Derrico.
I'm here for my job interview.

[Robert] So, I see
that you do not have

-any experience working?
-Not at all.

-[Richard hesitates]
-[Darian] Just because
I don't have

any job experience

doesn't mean
I don't have any experience.

doesn't mean
I don't have any experience.

This is a bad bout of chemo.

I don't remember
when I have felt
that bad that long.

Yeah.

Do I go through
with this next treatment...

or not?

Right now I'm on my way
to my first job interview.

I'm really nervous.
I don't know what to expect.

[Karen] You're gonna do good.

You just keep smiling
and you just, you know,

let them know
how excited you are
for this opportunity.

[Darian] So, I went online
and I found a job listing
at a place that makes donuts

and I think I can meet
a lot of friends there

and it could possibly be
a teen hotspot, possibly,

because, I mean, it's donuts
and who doesn't want donuts?

because, I mean, it's donuts
and who doesn't want donuts?

Remember, you greet
with what type of handshake?

-[Darian] A firm handshake.
-And you look them where?

-In their eyes.
-Yup.

Well, I have to work
on eye contact, you guys,
'cause I suck at that.

Well, you better
get it together
in the next few minutes.

You're gonna do great.

My biggest fear is
looking stupid.

You won't look stupid.

I know you got this.

Go out there
and get your donut job.

-Hello, there.
-Hi!

-Hello, there.
-Hi!

My name is Darian Derrico.
I'm here for my job interview.

Oh, hello.

I do remember
my first job interview.

I went through
the format of interviewing,

but I kinda already knew
I was gonna get it

because the manager
loved my grandma. So...

[Robert] So I see that you
do not have any
experience working.

Not at all.

[Robert] No? Okay.

[hesitates]

So, how do you think
your work ethic would be?

So, how do you think
your work ethic would be?

I believe
that my work ethic...

I believe
that my work ethic
would be good and...

Yeah, that's about it.

Okay. [hesitates]

And so, could you tell me
what your strengths
and weaknesses are?

My strengths are
that I am very...

I'm nice.

Actually, sometimes, like,
I can be blunt.

Like, I feel like everybody
can be kinda rude sometimes.

Like, I feel like everybody
can be kinda rude sometimes.

So I'm trying to work on that.

But I'm just gonna put it
in the weakness area
because...

Yeah.

Okay.

-Thanks for the warning.
[chuckles]
-You're welcome.

-'Cause we don't
allow that here.
-Oh, yeah.

-[chuckling]
-I know that.

I'm really nervous.

I don't want him
to think, like,

"Oh, she just answered
a trick question

and didn't even know
it was a trick.

It just took some
cool points off."

I don't want that at all.

For customers,
we always wanna
make them feel good.

For customers,
we always wanna
make them feel good.

Yeah, I have 13 siblings,
so dealing with a lot
of personalities is

definitely something
that runs in the family.

Wow. 13? That is a crowd.

[both chuckle]

So, how would that apply
to working here?

When one is struggling,
basically, we're all
struggling.

When one is thriving,
we're all thriving.

And I think that
if we all work as a team,
things run smoothly.

Well, that's a really
sweet answer. [chuckles]

Okay.

-Well, you're pretty
inexperienced. [chuckles]
-Yeah.

But I like you

and every now and then,
I do take a gamble.

And so, I would love
to start you off

on a trial one day...

-Okay.
-...and then see what happens.

-Okay.
-Would you like that?

-Yes, I would love that.
-Okay.

That works.

I'm so happy
that I'm getting the chance
to prove myself...

but I'm kinda
feeling the pressure...

but I'm kinda
feeling the pressure...

and I only have one shot,
so there's no room
for mistakes.

So I really hope
I don't screw this up.

Thank you so much
and I look forward to
working with you.

Wonderful. I'll see you soon.

Okay, you too.

She... She was...

-Ew. Ew.
-[Karen laughing]

No.

[all laughing]

[indistinct chatter]

[Karen] Shh! GG's asleep.
Keep it down.

[GG clearing throat]

This week has been
really rough to me.

I thought I came out
of one fix when I first
took the chemo

I thought I came out
of one fix when I first
took the chemo

'cause that first week
I was sick as
I don't know what.

But now, it seems like
there's been
a few extra challenges...

and...

It just seems
to be taking its toll.

I'mma get through this,
even though I'm in this house

with all the children
and everybody,
it's just so confining.

And I got to be away
from everybody

in case somebody
get the sniffles.

They don't want me
to catch an infection

They don't want me
to catch an infection

'cause my white blood cells
are very low.

I am fighting through this.

I am gonna get through this...

[sighs]

...one moment at a time.

So, let's start to add
our donut ingredients.

[Darian] I'm super nervous
because this is

a trial basis
and I really want this job.

Oh, ho, ho. [chuckles]

Well, that's embarrassing.

Daz, how do you spell "wash?"

W-A-S-H.

No, Dawsyn, don't put that
in your mouth, baby.

[Deonee] No, what the...

She done smelled it ten times.

[laughing] Look at her smile.

So, today we are prepping
for the car wash fundraiser

and we are making signs
so that people will know

that their money is
going to a great cause.

that their money is
going to a great cause.

Awesome Dawsyn.

We are working to raise money
for the family of the donor

that gave the tissue to fix
Dawsyn's hole in her heart.

Where's your heart?

[gasps] Oh, Dawsyn!
I saw your heart.

You have a good heart.
You have a good heart.

[Deon] So, real quick,
do y'all know

what's the purpose
of these signs?

We're making these signs
so people can know
that it's a car wash

and so people can come
and we can wash the car.

Yeah, this is our way of,
like, getting their attention,
"Hey! Free car wash!"

Yeah, this is our way of,
like, getting their attention,
"Hey! Free car wash!"

'Cause it is a free car wash.
We're just hoping
to get donations.

Ten billion dollars.

-Amen to that!
-Amen.

[Deon] But we're doing it
with jovial spirits

in hopes of
us collecting money
for Mama Debbie and family,

help cover some of
their doctor expenses.

help cover some of
their doctor expenses.

I'm so happy
that we're raising money
for Mama Debbie's family.

-Right?
-Yes.

[Dallas] We're good
at raising money.

I mean, we killed it
at the lemonade stand.

Plus, it feels good
to help out Mama Debbie
and give back.

Feeling is always
the feeling of love.

[indistinct sounds]

Oh, the girls are over here
pulling a GG move,
they bedazzling theirs.

Oh, the girls are over here
pulling a GG move,
they bedazzling theirs.

So, Darian, are you excited
for your first day at work?

[Darian] Well, it's a trial.
But, yeah, I am.

I'm a little nervous, too
'cause it could be
my first and my last day.

[Deon] It's not gonna
be your first

-and your last, baby.
-No. No.

[Darian] Basically, they're
gonna have me go in there...

-[Karen] Uh-huh?
-...and they're gonna see
how I do.

Like, if I was
actually working the job.

-[chuckles]
-[Deon] Yeah, that's good.

[Darian] I'm really nervous
for this trial one

because I don't wanna have
to come home
and tell my siblings

that I didn't get the job.

That's just gonna
be disappointing
for not only me

but my whole family.

So I really wanna get this
and prove to myself
that I can do anything.

So I really wanna get this
and prove to myself
that I can do anything.

Well, I am definitely
very proud of you,

but remember.

Do not bring a donut home
with you.

No, no, no.
Everybody in this house
loves donuts.

Except, a lot of people
in this house
that don't need them.

-Who does she think I am?
-[chuckles]

Ring, ring. [gasps] Hello?

You wanna help
my husband lose weight?

Oh, my God! Absolutely.
Sign him up right now.

Do they have Krispy Kreme's?
[chuckles]

All right, y'all.
Let me see yours, Dayton.

All right, y'all.
Let me see yours, Dayton.

I love it. We should have
a line of cars.

So, what did you draw, Dawsyn?

-Oh, you're gonna
wash Poppy's car?
-Yes.

-Oh, you're gonna
get some bubbles?
-Yes.

-And some suds and water?
-Yes.

Do you wanna wash Mommy's car?

-No.
-[Karen] What does this say,
Dawsyn?

[Karen] Oh!

-[server] I'll be right back
with you.
-Okay, thank you.

[GG] It's been four days
since I had
my last chemo treatment

and not having comfort
of my own home,

it's really difficult.

But getting out of the house
is a good stress reliever.

It feels normal,
even if it's just
for a little bit.

[Deon] So, anyway, how are you
feeling right now?

Right now I'm feeling good,
but you know what?

-This is a bad bout of chemo.
-Yeah.

And the nausea.

And the nausea.

I don't remember when I have
felt that bad that long.

Yeah.

[Deon] The first time when GG
was diagnosed with the C...

you know,
she went through a lot.

-Chicken parm for you.
-All righty.

-[server] There you go.
-Thank you.

[Deon] She has
a very strained voice.

That happened as
a result of her having

a procedure done
and in that procedure,

the doctor accidentally cut
one of her vocal chords.

That was heart-wrenching
to go through.

That was heart-wrenching
to go through.

[GG] And then
they gave me the steroids.

Time that wear off,
what's gonna happen?

I'm in the dumps again.

That's what I was
trying to avoid.

It's like, what do I do now?

Do I go through
with this next treatment...

or not?

Because when I did the chemo
the first time...

I didn't go through nothing
remotely close to this.

That has worn me out so bad.

That has worn me out so bad.

I don't know
if I wanna do it or not.

Yeah.

[Deon] It's not a good feeling
hearing my mother talk

about possibly
ending her chemo treatments.

I mean, my mother's not
a quitter.

That's not
who she's ever been.

So I don't wanna think
that one day we'll regret
her not continuing to try.

I want you to do
whatever is best.

-Yeah?
-You know that. But...

I feel like the chemo has
been helping.

If it's helping,
I want you to do chemo.

You know, you get down from,

as you say,
"I'm being so tired and all",
I see that.

But I see you
come back up again.

-The weakest--
-That's the steroids, though.

But, Mom, you're here,
sitting across from me,
eating dinner.

I can't see that
no other way but a win.

[GG] One of the things
that I had told...

my doctor
when I first started,

I'm more concerned
in quality of life.

I'm more concerned
in quality of life.

Not so much quantity,
but quality.

And I had laid
in that bed for two days.

I felt that I was
lying there suffering.

That I don't wanna do.

[Deon] Well, it has
gotten you this far.

After them damn doctors
told you you wouldn't live,

your butt is still here
to this day.

After all those years ago
because fight is all you know.

After all those years ago
because fight is all you know.

Now, that's a fact.

-Yeah.
-That's a fact, Mom.

Just the mere thought
of another treatment...

...is just not good
for my psychic at all.

But you're still fighting.

And you're still
making it past the point

that I was afraid
you wouldn't make it to.

You don't understand...

I feel very loved
knowing that my family
supports me 100%.

My son has been there for me
ever since he was
big enough to walk,

but right now
I'm still not really sure

that I'm gonna continue
with the treatments.

It just don't seem like
it should make me feel
as bad as it does.

Your strength has
made me who I am.

[Deon] Yeah, I don't...

I don't want you to think
that you're not a fighter.

[GG] Where are we?

[Darian] Yeah,
what is this place?

It looks nice
from the outside.

[Deon] So, this is
one of my rental properties.

-[Darian] This is nice.
-[Deon] Yeah, it's very nice.

Look at this beautiful kitchen
over here, ma.

After having lunch with GG
and her telling me

how difficult chemo has
been for her,

I just wanna ease her pain.

I just wanna ease her pain.

I can't do chemo for her,

but I can make sure she has
her own space to recover in.

So, this is one
of my furnished
rental properties

and the previous tenants
just said that they had
to abruptly move out.

So I was thinking of...

this being...

-you and Eric's--
-Yes!

[Deon laughing]

-Yes.
-[Deon] You didn't
let me get it out!

-Yes.
-Is this what you were
thinking of?

-So, you like it?
-[GG] Yes.

-Yes!
-[Deon laughing]

[GG] I enjoy
staying with y'all.

-Mm-hmm.
-But having those kids

-Mm-hmm.
-But having those kids

run in the room
every morning...

and the little ones
opening up my eyelids...

-No.
-[laughing]

This? This is it.

Lately, I've been
feeling pretty down,
mentally and physically.

And I'm just so thankful
that now I have
my own place to recover in.

I'm so grateful to my family.

Their encouragement
has given me the hope
to keep fighting.

So, I don't know
how long it'll be,
but this is your home.

So, I don't know
how long it'll be,
but this is your home.

And more than anything,
you get the chance to have
the peace of mind,

not worried about,
you know, putting us out.

GG's a fighter...

but every fighter needs
their own corner
to go and rest in.

This will be
that corner for her.

-What do y'all think about it?
-[Darian] I like it a lot.

-I wanna move in here.
-Yeah, I wanna share with GG.

-Okay, cool.
Y'all can move in.
-Yeah, I wanna stay with GG.

-[Derrick laughing]
-Listen to this guy.

[Darian] Poppy, why are you
getting out?

[Deon] This is big.

I mean, how do you feel?

[Darian] I would feel
even better if you stayed
in the car.

I know Poppy's not walking me
into my workplace
on the first day.

I want to look like
the professional
independent woman I am.

Now my coworkers,
they're gonna think
that I'm a child.

I am beyond embarrassed.
Like, stay in your lane,
Poppy.

I am beyond embarrassed.
Like, stay in your lane,
Poppy.

-How you doing?
-Hello. I'm good.

-Good to see you. So...
-You too.

And who is this?
Who's with you?

-I'm her big brother.
-Oh, well, hello...

-I'm her big brother.
-...big brother. Welcome.

And I was wondering
if I could get
a job here also.

-Please. I'd like
an invitation.
-[laughing]

Don't you want Dad at work?

-[Deon] This looks so good.
-[chuckles nervously]

I'm definitely not one
to miss seeing my baby girl
at her first day of work.

I mean, how many times does
a parent get a chance
to experience this?

I would need 24 donuts.

I don't really care for them,
but my babies love them.

-Ain't that right?
-Maybe--

-Ain't that right?
-Maybe--

The box of donuts will not
make it home.

-No?
-[Deon] Yeah, no.

I promise, this is not
an excuse for me
to get an extra dozen

jelly-filled donuts
for the road.

This is not about that.
This is strictly business.

So, why don't I bring you back
and get you started.
Come on back.

-Have a good first day.
-Okay.

I am not used
to having any parent
come to any first day

of any employee. [laughs]

of any employee. [laughs]

So, that was unusual.

We're gonna start you off
on making donuts.

So, let's start to add our...

donut ingredients.

[Darian] I'm excited to learn
how to make donuts

because I've always
wanted to know
how donuts were made.

-Wait, wait...
-Yeah, all the way.

Okay. And we wanna make sure
this is on level one.

[Darian] But I'm super nervous
because this is a trial basis
and I want this job.

I want this extra money
and I want this independence.

-Oh, ho, ho.
-[chuckles]

-Oh, ho, ho.
-[chuckles]

-Well...
-What was that?

It's on level three.
It should have been on one.

Well, that's embarrassing.

I feel like I'm off
to a bad start

'cause I know that he's
mentally grading me
and I can't mess up.

Now I have to redeem myself
and I have to not
make any more mistakes.

I have to be perfectionist.

So, now I'm gonna teach you
how to make a frappe.

These are very popular.

You're gonna put it
up to the line.

One scoop.

Gonna have two pumps
of caramel.

And then you're just gonna
blend that on number two...

and it should
come out perfect.

and it should
come out perfect.

Okay.

Oh, we've got a customer.
Darian, ready?

[Darian] Hi.
How are you today?

[woman] Can I get
an iced mocha latte,

-a cream cheese Puffernut...
-Okay.

-...a maple bacon...
-There should be two donuts.

-There should be two donuts.
-...blueberry fritter.

-Okay.
-That's you, yeah.

[Darian] It's
a little overwhelming.

It's so much at one time
and it's hard.

Do you remember how to make
the mocha iced latte?

-Push up with all your might
and then you...
-Just give me a second.

They're teaching me
so many things at once.

Did she want whipped cream?

[Darian groaning] Oh...

[Darian groaning] Oh...

Ma'am, did you want
whipped cream?

-[woman] Yes.
-Okay.

Trying to do my best,
but it's, like...

[groans] It's stressful.

-Here you go. Thank you.
-[woman] Have a good
rest of the day.

-Thank you, you too.
-[woman] Thank you.

[Robert] So, now comes
the decorating portion
with Breauna.

-Take it away.
-[Breauna] All right.

-Hi.
-Hi.

-How's your first day?
-Good.

Are you excited
to decorate donuts?

Yes.

So, just grab a donut,
dip it in. Don't be scared.

So, just grab a donut,
dip it in. Don't be scared.

And then you'll
twist it a little bit.

Let it drip out
and then you just put it down.

-Is that okay?
-Yeah, that's perfect.

And then you can
get some sprinkles.

And you can go crazy or not.

[both chuckling]

What is your favorite part
about today so far?

-This.
-This?

I met this girl, Breauna.
She's really nice.

I think she'll make
a great co-worker
and a great friend.

What do you like to do
other than decorate donuts?

I like to draw and sing
and write poetry.

I like to draw and sing
and write poetry.

That's really the reason
why I wanted to get a job

so I can find some friends
and have a good time.

-I think I did a good job.
-I think you did a great job.

-Thank you.
-I like that one.

[Darian] Me too. [giggling]
You said to go crazy.

-[Breauna] Hi, welcome.
-[woman] Hi.

I don't mean to be difficult,

but these four donuts
are not what I ordered.

I am so sorry about that.

It's okay. If you can just...

Hi. I'm really sorry
about your donuts.

This is my first day,
so please excuse me.

This is my first day,
so please excuse me.

I'm panicking right now
because I can feel
my boss watching

and I'm thinking,
"That's it. That's a wrap.

Darian just blew
this trial run."

-Can I just get the donuts?
-[Darian] Okay.

-Sorry, it's been a long day.
-[Darian hesitates]

[woman] These four donuts
are not what I ordered.

-Can I just get the donuts?
-[Darian] Okay.

-Sorry, it's been a long day.
-[Darian hesitates]

To make it up to you
and this inconvenience,

I'd like to
give you this coupon.

Oh! Oh, my God.
That's so sweet.

I'm really sorry about that,
but I hope you come
to see us again next time.

-Thank you so much.
-Of course.

-Bye.
-[Robert] Thanks again.

-Have a good one. Bye.
-[woman] Thank you.

[Robert] Bye, bye.

Darian, could you
come over here
and talk a little bit?

Darian, could you
come over here
and talk a little bit?

-Okay.
-[Robert] Yeah.

A lot of stuff is
going through my mind.

I feel like this is
my first and last day of work.

It's almost like being called
into the principal's office.

So, Darian, when customers
give you feedback like that,

it's important to give them
a sense you're listening

and you're solving
the issue for them.

You went above and beyond.

And so we would love
to offer you a job.

I'm so excited
to have this job.

That means I get
to be independent,

I get to make some money
and I feel like I've made
a friend already

'cause I met this girl
named Breauna.
She's really cool.

We kinda, like, bonded
and now I feel like

I'm a part of
the Wicked Donut family.

Yay!

-I'm so excited
to work with you.
-Thank you.

-I'm excited too.
-I can't wait.

-Yeah.
-[both chuckle]

So, even though I really love
taking care of my siblings,

I think
it's definitely important
for me to explore life

I think
it's definitely important
for me to explore life

beyond the door.

The front door...

of the Derrico household.

So, did you get the job?

They hired me.

Darian, that's so good, baby.

So, when do you come back?

Tomorrow.

Darian has come
such a long way

from that little
baby girl I remember,

crawling,
taking her first steps.

To know that
that little baby there is

now this young
up-and-coming adult
with her first job.

now this young
up-and-coming adult
with her first job.

Plus she will be bringing home
all these free donuts.

I may have to have my pants
taken out a little bit
for this one.

Oh, my, you bought
these for me?

Let's see what I got in here.

-[Deon] Who's excited
to wash some cars?
-I am.

-I am.
-I am.

Let's get this stuff out.

[Deon] So, today,
our local church is

allowing us
to hold the car wash
in their parking lot.

allowing us
to hold the car wash
in their parking lot.

Ideally, we need to raise $750
so that we can assist
in the cost of rehab therapy

for Mama Debbie.

[Deon] Whoo!

[children screaming
and laughing]

We want the Lord
to fill their hearts,

to dip their hands
in their pocketbooks

because anything will help
and we really and surely
wanna show them

just how much we love them.

-[Deonee] Go!
-[beatboxing]

[Deon] This is so slow.
I don't see no one coming.

I thought we would have
somewhat of a turnout
just from the church.

You know, I get it.
I know what it's like.

When you go
home from church...

[Karen] You done.

Yeah, you want
something to eat

-and that's it.
-[Karen] Yeah.

With all the trauma
that Mama Debbie
has been through,

we gotta at least...

get one car.

We gotta fight through this
because we just don't wanna
end up empty-handed.

[both] Car Wash. Car Wash!

-[all cheering]
-Oh, we got our first sale.

-[all cheering]
-Oh, we got our first sale.

[cheering continues]

[Karen] Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord.

Now get your buckets,
get your stuff and come over.

-Hi! Hiya!
-[Deon] Oh, hello. It's y'all.

J.P., I didn't know
this was you.

How you doing, brother?

J.P. is a youth minister
of our church...

and we are so grateful
for his generosity.

So, thank you.
Y'all are our first ones.

We're always happy to help.
It's going to a good cause.

We're always happy to help.
It's going to a good cause.

-[Deon] Absolutely,
it really is.
-[Karen] Yes, thank you.

-Trust God.
-So, go around the front

and you're gonna water
to wet the front up there.

[all shouting and laughing]

I can't stop it!

Make sure you don't get
your shirt wet.

But, hey, we're here.

We're grateful to God

Good job. Good job.

He can turn water into wine.

He can turn one car
into 20 cars.

Exactly.

This is a nice room.

[Darian] I like this room.
This is a nice room.

Looking for a home
for a family of our size is
definitely not easy.

I just feel like
this is the house.

We've been anticipating
a phone call from Lee.

He's our realtor. So...

Lee, please tell me
you have some good news.

We gotta start
giving out chores.

-[all] No.
-[Karen] And because it's
16 of us

in a really small house,
things can definitely
get messy.

You gotta also get back there
'cause sometimes people have
what's called "booty jams."

[all] Ew!

[all] Ew!

That is disgusting!

Oh, my gosh, ew.

Growing up in foster care,
you not getting that affection
from your parents.

It's hard for me
to accept that.
[sniffling]

Why don't we do something
to officially incorporate him
into the family?

I've been thinking about
adopting Eric into our family
for a long time now.

We want you forever
in our family.
