I don't mean to cluck, but here's what happened.

Previously on the Chicken Sisters.

You know, I heard her mother and Gen are carrying on.

Mary Frances saw him go into Mimi's after closing.

Is this everything?

You took all the chicken.

Because you sabotaged our sweet tea.

Frank Jr. came in and got a vasectomy.

This, I don't know if I can forgive.

Can I stay here tonight?

Come on.

Let's go.

Five seconds to blast off.

Wait for me.

Hard to believe

there was a time when Amanda and Mae

were each other's world.

Three, two, one. Blast off!

They were too busy making their own fun to ever think

anything was amiss in their happy home.

But children get older.

Let's play rocket ship. Five seconds to take off.

And when they do, they start to notice things.

You ready?

♪ Ooh, ooh, ooh ♪

Five, four, three...

Just throwing out my trash.

And I figured this was a public dump.

You like picking on little kids, huh?

Why don't you go eat some glue, Eddie?

That's right. Everybody knows.

Get!

♪ I'll take the dive. ♪

♪ Call it all ♪

♪ a compromise. ♪

Your mother home?

Mmhmm. I'll go get her.

But mama isn't home.

I know, silly, but it's just a game.

Mae shielded Amanda

from the unpleasant parts of their life.

♪ 'cause everything... ♪

It is not too late for you to back out of this.

Come with me to New York City. You have so much potential.

You don't have to throw it all away

by marrying the high school quarterback.

But eventually, Amanda didn't want to be protected.

You are ruining the most important day of my life.

If you can't be happy for me, then you should go.

Leave.

Go!

♪ ...the other side. ♪

♪ If you bend, ♪

♪ I'll take the dive. ♪

♪ Call it all a compromise. ♪

Mae's doubt poisoned Amanda's happiness.

♪ ...you know, I've tried. ♪

Amanda couldn't admit how deeply hurt she was.

Besides, based on how little she called

Mae seemed to be doing just fine without her.

They say it's easier for the person who leaves

than the one who stays, and that's who Amanda was.

♪ Can you hear me now? ♪

At least until last night.

This town has been torn asunder.

Come on, get in the truck.

We've seen mean-spirited pranks.

Hurtful gossip.

Oh.

Can you blame her?

- Oh. Hi. - Hi.

And families falling apart.

He forgot to mention lusting after the pastor.

Oh, he couldn't handle my impure thoughts on it.

Are we really turning on each other over chicken?

Yeah, I agree, it is ridiculous.

So let's stop. Mm?

And show each other that our sense of community

is more important than our superficial differences.

I know these rifts might seem irreparable,

but let's not forget

it's not how we fight that defines us,

but rather how we make up.

She's sleepin' mid day.

I'm so sorry, honey.

Who the hell is he?!

That is my paying guest for the night.

I rent this room out as one of my side hustles.

How many side hustles do you have?

Oh, hold on, I got to count.

Hold on. I'm counting.

Oh, dang it, I lost track.

You sleep okay?

About as well as any woman does

when dealing with the crumbling family.

It's always darkest before the dawn.

Thank you so much for letting me crash here,

-even just for a night. -Mmhmm.

If you have no idea.

I just could not stay in that house another night.

And honestly, money's been really tight.

Hey, don't you waste one more breath explaining it to me.

You're gonna be okay.

Mm.

I love you.

You gotta go.

Yeah. You gotta... You gotta go.

Come on.

Hope you understand.

It's just... I'm an elite level host, right?

And it's actually a status that's very hard to maintain.

Okay.

It's impossible to get ahead.

Those were wonderful words, weren't they?

A little long-winded for my taste.

I liked it.

It reminded me that we all have things

we need to atone for, don't we?

Frankie, sweetie, why don't you go on ahead and buckle up?

Well, I don't mind staying here.

Seat belts are just crazy these days.

You're going to need a little extra time

with the doohickeys and the doodads.

I know how a seat belt--

It might take a while.

Better get on it.

Have you atoned?

For what?

For what I heard last night.

Pops my corn.

I'd be lying if I didn't tell you

that I am so disappointed in your behavior.

Me? I wasn't the one who walked out.

Can you blame her?

That's the plan.

Frank Jr. you know good and well

she had her reasons.

Marriage is work.

I didn't raise you to be lazier than a dang Susan.

Please. This is my one day off.

Are you hung over?

Yes. Well, that's only because the wines mixer was chocolate.

Oh, I'm sorry, mommy.

You know, somebody told me it was bad to drink.

Who was that?

Oh, right. It was you!

Hypocrite!

Okay, look.

As an adult, I'm allowed to responsibly enjoy alcohol.

Yeah. There's a rapper in your hair.

Oh.

How'd that get in there?

Oh, hey, where are you going?

I'm hanging out with Frankie.

Still? I told you, you're off the hook for that.

Where else is there to do here?

Oh, my goodness there's a chip in here, too.

Also, if you could not be here around 5:00 ish,

that'd be chill. I have a zoom with Dad.

I wonder if he's gonna fly me out for the engagement party.

Oh. I'm sure the party will really rock.

I need a place to stay.

What for?

You got a house last time I checked.

I left Frank Jr.

Oh, you finally came to your senses.

I don't want any I told you so's

I just need somewhere I can stay till I figure it out.

Well, you can't stay here.

Mama, please. I got nowhere else to go.

You just can't!

Mama!

Are you serious?

I guess I'll just sleep in my car then!

My love is like a stone tied around my neck.

And it's dragging me down to the bottom.

But I love my stone.

I can't live without it.

It's good.

What?

It's just... I don't know what could feel more real.

Maybe it could help if you could draw

from a time when you've been heartbroken.

Who's someone who dumped you?

Oh, um...

Mm.

That's never happened before.

Oh.

Good for you.

No. Um, I've never been dumped

because I've never dated anybody before.

Oh.

Oh! Oh, okay.

Oh, God. I'm weird, aren't I? Oh...

No. It's okay.

We can just find something else to draw from.

Uh...

What's the worst thing that's ever happened to you?

Well, I think it's happening right now, actually.

I'm pretty sure my parents are splitting up,

and I'm here worrying about auditions at NYU.

Girl, don't you know divorce is a natural part of life?

Well, I'm pretty sure my mom forgot to sit me down

and have that special talk.

Here's the tea.

Divorce is the best thing that could have ever happened to me.

I get two bedrooms, two birthdays,

two Christmases, and... and my rich dad

is probably going to take me to Paris.

I mean, what more could you ask for?

My dad is not taking me to Paris.

Isn't there some small part of you that wonders

what it'd be like if your parents stayed together?

Ew! No.

No. My parents are like oil and water.

They were miserable together.

They're both happier now.

And I think it's the best thing

that could have happened for our family.

Mm.

Oh, no, not the hydrangeas!

Nancy might not be able to fix

everything wrong in Merinac,

but a flower bed, that she could handle.

Do you have a room for the night?

King, queen, single? I'll take it.

I have a card.

Actually I have to split it on two cards.

Amanda, I'm so sorry. We're booked.

What?

You don't even have one room available?

Yeah, it's all the people in town for Kitchen Clash.

This is the first time we've had no vacancy since we opened.

And that's all thanks to you.

Mm.

My room has two beds.

Not that you'd want to stay with me.

You're right. I wouldn't want that.

There wasn't a thing Amanda could think of

that would make her take that offer.

I guess you could crash at our place.

Really? That would be perfect.

Yeah. Sergio's already staying with us.

So what's one more person?

She hadn't thought of that.

Mae. I'll stay with Mae.

Do you want to talk about it?

Not with you.

I'm gonna take a shower.

Hello, Gus. I--

Well make it quick.

Standing here with you,

I'd rather be downwind of an outhouse breeze.

Of course. I wouldn't want to keep you

from what you're clearly dressed for.

Standing in a field scaring crows.

Stop! Wait.

Um. I'm so sorry.

I didn't want it to go like this.

Oh. You're sorry?

You expect me to believe that?

I don't condone what those vandals did

to your yard and your house.

The way they ruined your gorgeous flowers

in the name of Frannie's.

Well, it just makes me want to spit!

Pardon my language.

I think it's awful how divided Merinac has gotten.

We may have our history

and our restaurants may be competing,

but it doesn't mean there has to be

such animosity between us.

Oh, you are blowing smoke, Nancy.

Just as plain as day.

And if this is some sort of mental trick

to get into my head

so that you can win the competition,

I am trying to be sincere, you old goat!

Augusta!

Not very neighborly of you.

Fine. I'll just go.

Because unlike some other restaurant owners,

I've got class.

Nancy wondered

why Gus was more closed off than a liquor store on Sunday.

Is that Gen?

Those Drop ladies were right.

But as it turned out, she opened up to some people.

Ooh, some people indeed.

Ooh, Dad!

Oh. Hey, hon.

Oh, yeah. I tried to do the laundry,

but I think I might have made a mistake.

You can't run it on hot water and high heat.

I know that now.

Mhm.

I know how to fry chicken and mow the lawn.

But, uh, I guess when it comes to other stuff, I'm no good.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

I get it.

Your mom, she's great with all that stuff.

Mm.

I don't know what she puts in the laundry,

but it's always so soft.

Yeah, I'm guessing fabric softener.

Did you ever compliment mom on how she did the laundry?

I wore the clothes.

That's not a compliment.

Yes, it is.

Oh, I'm telling you, it's not.

Are you being serious?

Ugh.

Ooooh! This hangover is gonna kill me.

Oh, you probably need more hydration.

You should try apple cider vinegar and honey.

Oh, thanks, Grustor.

I usually keep those things in my purse,

but, oops... not today.

Oh.

Hey, I was going to ask if you needed anything

before I shut down the café.

Oh, no. I'm fine. Thanks, love.

Mhm. I'm also shutting down the chairs you're on.

Oh, sorry.

I really can't just stay here and lie down.

I'm really hungover.

I can tell. You look like hell.

Wow. Honest.

Why aren't you recovering in your room?

I can't because my daughter is using the room

to zoom my apparently perfect ex-husband

who's getting remarried before me.

And it's made even worse by the fact that my own daughter

has no appreciation for just how hard I work

to give her a decent life.

She spends all day long antagonizing me,

mocking me, haranguing even.

And what do I get? This! This!

A stiff, uncomfortable chair with no lumbar support.

It's vintage, Diva.

This thing's a torture device.

Oh, okay. Well, then get off it.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, please, please, please.

This is all I have. This is all I have.

Drama.

What's this?

For your hangover.

It's disgusting.

But it does help.

Uh-huh.

Uh-ha!

Hm.

Oh, hello.

Who does this chicken remind me of?

Amanda, these are, like, professional-level good.

It's so cool to see how much your style has evolved,

but it's still so totally you.

You must love this.

Love what?

All of this, watching me crash and burn.

Well, here I am!

I'm burning!

Amanda, it's going to be okay.

Trust me, I have survived worse.

Yeah, we get it. You're perfect.

I'm sorry. I'm not like you.

You think I'm perfect?

With your perfectly organized room

and your perfectly organized life.

Your perfect everything.

I'm not perfect! I am a disaster!

So what? Your little TV show got canceled.

My whole life just got canceled.

Well, that makes two of us.

Jay isn't speaking to me.

What?

Okay, while we were dating, I sort of...

omitted...

some... facts.

I lied.

I lied a lot.

I lied about my past.

I lied about our family.

I lied about everything.

Because deep down, I know that I don't deserve him.

And I never did.

So then I came clean, and now he's not returning my calls.

Oh.

That's right. "Oh."

So I'm not perfect.

I'm actually a big, sloppy mess.

Are you smiling?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. It just made me laugh for some reason.

What is wrong with you, you freak?

I am a freak.

I don't know, I don't know why that terrible terribleness

just made me so happy.

I thought that Frannie's girls were never supposed to laugh

at another person's misfortune.

And that was certainly not very Frannie's of you either.

I'm sorry, I laughed.

It's just it felt kind of nice

to see you on my level for once.

You're always like, way up here.

Is that how you see me?

Isn't it obvious?

No.

Well yes, I do.

And I'm sorry you're going through this.

Maybe Jay just needs a little time.

It's fine.

I've survived my life so far, and I will survive this, too.

Ow!

Oh, it's a pillow.

Oh.

Ow!

I'll get you twice for that one.

Stupid little rat, rat.

Pastor McGregor.

Well, looky here, it's my favorite Nancy.

Excuse me. This will just take about a minute.

I don't want to keep you from the Good Book.

Oh, well, yeah, it is a good book, but it can wait.

What's going on?

Well...

I have somewhat of a spiritual crisis on my hands.

I'm not one to gossip, but...

how can you extend an olive branch

when the person on the other side of that branch

is so unbearably prideful,

they turn their nose up at said branch,

not even bat an eye.

Well, that is tough.

You know, it can be hard for proud people to accept help.

Shouldn't stop us from trying though.

I tried. I did.

I put all my petty feelings to the side

and I acknowledged my part.

But nothing, nothing.

I just... I don't want to be part of

what's tearing this town asunder.

Oh, Nancy, you feel so deeply.

I'm the same way. That's why I do what I do.

Mm.

I think you listen to that big heart of yours

that's going to tell you,

you have it in you to keep trying.

Thank you, Pastor.

Oh, my.

Your arms are so strong,

you could pull a magnolia tree straight out of the ground,

roots and all.

Ah. Nice talk.

Thank you so much.

I'm not saying everything that ails ya

can be healed with a good slice of pie,

but I do think it's true

a little sweetness never hurt anyone.

Hi, doll.

Thought you could use a slice of heartbreak pie.

Oh, that is so sweet.

I know I'm wonderful.

Oh.

Thank you, Patrick.

Anytime. You just call me, okay?

Okay.

Hi, Patrick.

Hey.

Mm.

Well, this is so nice.

Oh, shoot.

You only brought one fork.

Oh. I'm aware.

-See ya. -Mm.

MmmMmm. Yes.

Wow.

Patrick hates my gosh-darn guts.

Oh! There's my down-home girl. You let that twang out, sister.

We all know you try to hide it,

but deep down you're just as country

as a butter biscuit in a hawks craw.

Mm.

That looks so good.

Have some.

Here.

I don't have a fork.

But you can use mine, you ninny.

Here. It's a perfect bite.

Mm. Okay, so you just eat that, and I will have another bite.

That looks so good.

So eat it.

I'll enjoy it more knowing you ate it. Come on.

Amanda, just eat it!

I won't. I'd sooner just throw it right on the floor.

Oh, I'm gonna throw it right--

Don't waste it.

-Mm. -Mm.

Mmm-mmm.

Damn, that is so good.

Mmhmm.

Is it just me or does that pie taste just like

-Gus's? -Mama's

Do you call her Gus?

I do that too sometimes.

Well, moms read you bedtime stories.

Mm.

Gus reads you the riot act.

Does seem weird to you now that you're an adult

and you know better,

she never talked to us about feelings growing up.

Ours. Hers. None of it.

Is that weird?

I still don't know how to talk about my feelings.

I guess she was just doing what she had to.

I don't think she ever had time to stop and feel...

anything.

Plus, she was working all the time.

Mm.

Mm.

Can I have the last bite?

Yes. Of course.

Mm.

Mmm.

I know it might sound hard, but it's really not.

Let's try brainstorming some things you like about mom.

I like when she does the laundry.

I'm not exposing my midriff like I'm on the dance team.

Oh.

So you like how she takes care of you?

What else?

I like how she remembers to pay the bills so I don't have to.

Uh...

So you like how she anticipates your every need?

This is good. What else?

I like how she forces me

to wake up for work in the morning.

Okay. Um...

You can't imagine waking up without her by your side.

Oh.

Right.

I can't imagine waking up without her by my side.

Wow.

You are smart.

You know, you're lucky you're like her.

I'm like you too, Dad.

Oh, I hope not.

I just mess everything up.

That's not true.

I can honestly say that Frank Jr. ruins

every single situation that he's in.

I mean, getting a vasectomy, lying to your wife about it

and then pretending that you want to have another kid.

I knew he was bad, but that is unforgivable.

He single-handedly ruined your marriage.

Well, maybe not single-handedly.

I'm not, like, totally innocent in all this.

Let me guess.

You have a crush.

On this chicken!

That's a Sergio chicken if I ever seen one.

Chickens don't have dimples.

Does he know that you're into him?

I think he figured it out...

when I kissed him.

You did?!!!

But it was nothing!

Oh, not nothing. It was everything.

Not everything. I don't know, it was fun.

Stop smiling at me. Freaking me out.

Oh, what I did was awful.

I still can't believe I did that.

Like, who am I?

Why would I do something like that to Frank Jr.?

Maybe you wanted out.

Maybe he pushed you away.

Maybe.

Or maybe I'm just a bad person.

Oh, enough of that.

Was it good?

Uh...

Yeah. Sure.

Okay. It's fine. You don't have to tell me.

It was really good!

I knew it!!!

Curl your toes, weak in the knees really good.

Ow! Ow!! Ow!!!

But it's over!

Oh.

It's over.

Already?

You want to do it again.

No!

No. I sent him a voice memo telling him

we can't do that again,

and he thumbs-upped it.

Oh, brutal. Brutal.

I know, but it's for the best.

It was... It was a mistake.

I bet he's obsessed with you.

I mean, here you are, this beautiful, talented,

intelligent woman who, for some ungodly reason,

he finds in Merinac, of all places.

Oh, please.

Of course he's into you.

He doesn't know about your big, terrible flaw.

You're the worst at pillow sac racing.

Mae... get serious.

That's you.

Okay.

As always, no bumps, no slides and no tackles.

Duh.

I'm no cheat.

Okay? Just...

Look.

Hey.

Hi.

Um...

It's a long story.

I'm good. Have fun.

It's like The Shining in here.

Okay. Ready?

Ready.

In three....

-Two. One. Go! -Oh!

-You're second place! -Not for long!

Hello.

All right, that's it. Enough is enough.

I can't stay out here all night.

Honey. What happened?

Dad didn't show up for the zoom.

Oh, no.

I'm so sorry.

He isn't even texting me back.

It's been, like, three hours, and I know his phone

is constantly glued to his dumb face.

That is sus.

No, mom. Don't say sus.

Look. It's okay, it's okay. I'm here, I'm here.

Ever since he's been simping for...

what's her face it's like...

I'm nothing to him.

And now he's going to be marrying her.

And we're going to spend even less time together.

And the visits just get shorter and shorter,

and the presents just get bigger and bigger.

And it's...

It's like I'm being paid off for being his daughter.

I hate that he is so wrapped up in his own stuff right now

because he's missing out on the smartest, kindest,

most wonderful kid there ever was.

And to be fair, I mean,

I haven't met every teen in the whole world,

but I know for a fact that you are exceptional.

If I'm so great,

then why are you chronically mad at me?

Oh, honey, I'm not mad at you.

I'm just...

trying to be a good mom.

And I fail...

a lot.

But you have to know that you are everything to me.

You don't fail that much.

That's the nicest thing you've ever said to me.

Can I offer some motherly advice?

Yeah.

Don't ever settle for stingy love.

You deserve big, huge love.

Love that you don't have to ask for

because it is just there.

Okay.

-Okay. -Okay.

Oh!

Oh!

I think I won.

Ha!

You didn't, but that's adorable you think you did?

I won.

Okay. What do you think you hate more?

Losing. Or my husband.

Okay, for the record, I never hated Frank Jr.

I just hate that he kept you from pursuing your passion.

Amanda, your art is so good.

Oh.

I just... I always thought you were the kind of person

who would shoot for the stars.

Well, the stars are kind of far.

And I'm not like you. I wanted to stay on the ground.

With him?

Mae, I needed him.

He wasn't just my husband.

He was my way out of Mama's house.

I wish I was like you.

The way you were able to just take off.

Nobody by your side.

So independent.

That's just not me.

But Mae started thinking

the thoughts she'd never thunk before this very moment.

Was she independent?

Mae had been so focused on her goals,

she let the thing that made her happiest

slip right through her fingers.

Turns out she was hiding the truth from herself.

Oh, my God. This looks so good.

Jay made her happier than a pig in slop.

She was just too closed off to realize it.

And now it was too late.

I guess that's all in the past now.

Onward and upward. Right? Next stop, the moon.

I think I'm crashing. I'm gonna hit the hay.

-Okay. Good night. -Night.

Oh. Why?

Sorry. Sorry.

I just want to check in before I left.

Okay. Mission accomplished. Can you close the curtains?

Oh, no. I just wanted to say that I am sorry.

I know you hate it here,

but we'll be gone before you know it.

What? No, mom. Merinac's not the problem.

It's actually...

There's a lot to like here.

Really?

Okay. Wow.

I'm so glad you found something to like about it.

I'm really proud of you, honey.

Hey, mommy.

Yes, sweetie.

Can I go to Burning Man with Tatiana?

Absolutely not.

Let's go girls.

Aren't you just the cutest little thing?

I thought I'd help you with the watering.

How dare you!

Me? I'm not the one who's trespassing.

I was just trying to do right by you.

Here I am, trying to rehabilitate your hydrangeas

that you got growing in your dang yard.

And you spray me!

Why? Why?

Not everyone is lucky enough to have hydrangeas.

Not everyone has the right combination of sun and shade.

And if I had these beautiful flowers

growing naturally in my yard,

well, I would... I would appreciate them.

I would cherish them.

I would shower them with love and kindness.

These flowers deserve to be pampered.

But no, that ain't gonna happen

because clearly you would be happy to let him wilt and die

and you could throw them away.

Throw them away just like weeds.

Is this about Amanda?

Yes, no, yes... maybe.

Yes.

I am so sick and tired

of watching her try with you again and again.

And not even for one second,

do you realize how lucky you are to have her as a daughter?

She's just the sweetest thing.

And nobody around here appreciates her.

And who else around here doesn't appreciate her, huh?

You're good for nothing, son.

Well, it's not his fault he's so terrible.

Couldn't be helped growing up with that rotten daddy of his.

Really?

I'm not sure you're the role model you think you are.

As a matter of fact,

I saw you doing who knows what unspeakable act

with a married man half your age on a Sunday, a Sunday?

Have you no decency?

You have no idea what the hell you are talking about, Nancy.

And let me tell you what I told your husband.

I don't ever want to see you set foot

on this property ever again.

Don't you speak about my Frank ever again.

Ever! Ever!

Hey! You just poked me with your finger.

Ow! That was too hard!

-Oh! -Too hard.

-Give me this! -No.

Here you go. Here you go. How do you like it?

You quit it right now.

You would like that, wouldn't you?

Give me. Give me that back.

You know what, they are my flowers,

and I will do what I want with them.

No, you won't!

No, you won't, 'cause that's the--

- Ahhhhhhh!!!! - Perfect.

Happy Monday ladies.

Oh, you scared me.

Amanda.

Frank Jr. listen.

Uh...

Um...

You're my whole world, baby.

You take care of me. You anticipate my every need.

I can't imagine waking up without you by my side.

Just one night without you

was all it took for me to realize

how empty my heart is without you.

Just give me another chance.

That's sweet, Frank.

It really is.

But it's just...

It's just not enough.

Um...

I'm trying to do the right thing here, Amanda.

My mom told me to atone, and here I am atoning.

Come on.

Do you really want to break up this family?

Amanda was struck by Frank Jr.'s words.

♪ Happy birthday to Frankie... ♪

Yay!!!

♪ You said you wanted to feel ♪

He was right.

She couldn't up and leave Frank.

♪ ...was born in July '95. ♪

Because that meant losing Nancy.

Uh...

♪ You say you're a winter...♪

-You're right. - ♪ but summer is in your life.♪

Let's go home.

♪ You can't help but become the sun. ♪

Let's go!!!

-Wooo! -Wooo!!!

Go get your things, baby.

I'll be right here waiting for you.

Oh, okay.

Woo!

♪ You were happy, and I wasn't surprised. ♪

Where are you going?

I'm going home.

Frank Jr.'s here, and he asked me back,

and I'm going.

What? Amanda, you hate him.

I don't hate him.

Marriage is just hard.

Marriage is supposed to be hard sometimes, Amanda.

Like if you get audited

or if you agree to watch a TV show together

and one of you watches ahead.

Not all the time.

Please, Amanda, please don't do this.

You're better than this.

Just because you ruined your relationship

doesn't mean I have to do the same.

Excuse me.

♪ Your love is tough. ♪

♪ Your love is tried and true blue. ♪

You got everything? Okay.

Come on.

Aunt Mae... Why do you look like that?

My parents are gonna split up, and now they're not.

This is a good thing.

If you say so.

Oh, I need to stop thinking I can rescue your mother.

Only she can do that.

On the house.

♪ Who won the fight? ♪

♪ I don't know. ♪

♪ We're not keeping score. ♪

Yep. That's who Amanda was.

A person who stayed.

Amanda.

Just like Frankie wanted.

Can you do a load of my whites? I'm low on socks.

Oh, well, I'm just fixing dinner right now,

but I will in a minute.

♪ I can hide ♪

But Frankie soon learned

you gotta be careful for what you wish for.

Nancy had wished for beautiful flowers in her own yard.

So if a certain someone didn't have room for them

in her heart, well, then that was her loss.

♪ ...when I'm with you ♪

♪ Your love is tough. ♪

♪ Your love is ♪

As it turned out,

it wasn't that Gus didn't have room in her heart for Amanda,

she just didn't have room in her house.
