shut. why start now? thanks. no. it's good. i like that you speak your mind. really? jules? got the number for you. thanks, spike. (sighs) okay, guys, we're here. becky (crying): is that your house? maggie: well, it used to be. when you were a little baby, we lived here together. you remember, riley? no. well, you see that window up there? that used to be your room. it had pink and yellow butterflies on the wall. and every night when i used to tuck you in, you used to hide under the covers, and i'd say "where's riley?"

and you used to laugh, and then i would just tickle you until you came out. do you remember? come on. i want to show you something. it's okay. it'll be fun, i promise. you see that? what is it? it's a bird feeder. when you were little, there was a family of robins and they built a nest right up there. and they had two little babies. and you were worried that they wouldn't have enough to eat, so you used to share your cereal with them. and you and i put the feeder right up there. and we would sit right over there. and then we would watch the mama feed her birdies. do you remember that? i want to go home. me, too. i know this is really confusing for you, because you hadn't seen me in a really, really long time. but some people, they-they took you away from me,

and now that we're together again, we can be a family. no. i want to go home! i want my mom! man: this isn't drug related. maggie's been clean for four years. she stopped using in prison? worked real hard, turned her life around. until today. kidnapping and assault with a deadly weapon. do you have any idea what set her off? well, the whole time she was in prison, maggie was under the impression that once she got out, she'd get her kids back. a few days ago, i had to break the news to her. i got a waitressing job. it only pays ten dollars an hour, but at least it's a start. that's great. are you still going to drug counseling? four times a week. here, i want to show you something. i'm really excited. (laughs) just wait till you see this. this is for becky and riley. i just wanted it to be perfect for when they come home. i'm sorry. you can't get your kids back. what are you talking about?

becky and riley's foster parents legally adopted them. no. before i went to prison, my lawyer told me that i had a chance to get my kids back. as long as they were in foster care, but they've been legally adopted. but i never gave up my parental rights. you didn't have to. the courts terminated them. i want my kids back. my girls, they're all i have. please. i want my kids back. so the courts could do that? they can just... take away her kids? maggie was going to prison for a long time. social services didn't want the children to languish in foster care. kids under five, highly adoptable. looks like she was trying to stay in touch with the girls. social services didn't pass the letters on. they felt it was best for the children if they just severed all ties. so maggie spent years fantasizing about this happy reunion with her children. and now that fantasy's falling apart. looks like.

riley, are you hungry? i made your favorite, banana chocolate chip. i have another surprise for you. you must remember him. charlie. i got him for you when you were three months old. what happened to his leg? well, one day when we were crossing the street, charlie fell and a streetcar ran over him. and i wanted to throw him away, but you wouldn't let me. you loved him, even though he wasn't perfect. and when i went away, i kept charlie with me. and every time i looked at him, i thought of you. cho...? (softly sighs) yeah.

cho! you called him cho, because you couldn't say charlie. (becky coughing) maggie: becky? becky? (becky wheezing) are you okay? (coughing) do you want some juice? what's wrong with her? i don't know. (coughing) sweetheart, are you okay? (coughing and gasping) can you do something? becky? oh, my god. becky?

(sobs) jules: boss, i just got off the phone with jenna corday. the only medical condition becky has is an allergy to almonds. even trace amounts and her throat will close.

her throat is swollen shut. almonds-- you give her anything with almonds? uh... oh, i put some in the muffins. she's having an allergic reaction. this shot of epinephrine will take the swelling down so she can breathe. maggie: i'm so sorry. it's okay, you did good by letting us help her. she's responsive. bp's getting stronger. and the swelling is coming down. oh, thank god. we still need to take her to the hospital and check her out. i can take care of her. no, you need to let them go-- her and riley. i just got them back. i'm not going to lose them again. no, you never got them back. you took them from their families. i'm their family! not anymore. you lost that chance with the choices you made. i'm a different person now. see, you're still thinking about what you want, not what's best for them. greg, easy, easy.

i know what it's like to lose your kids. to not be a part of their lives. i haven't been allowed to see my son for ten years. and the hardest part is to accept the fact that they're doing okay without you. maggie: that's not true. oh... no, we have trouble believing it, don't we? that woman at the school today-- she made becky cry and then she just left her sitting there. i understand, i heard that. jenna was just yelling at becky because she was running around the playground really fast. she just wanted her to slow down and be safe. you're wrong. no. no, we see what we want to see. you convince yourself that your kids are being mistreated so you can rescue them. it's not true. it's not true. you see... becky and her adoptive mom-- they play pretend every day, they dress up like princesses,

and her father-- he's the dragon. and, uh... and the adlers tell me that riley is learning how to skate, huh? so every weekend they go down to the rink together and they practice. maggie... your kids are with families who love them. i miss them so much. i know you do. ever since i got out, i watch them every day. you have no idea what it feels like to be so close to your children and you can't hold them. (crying) i just wanted to start over. yeah. a second chance at being a good mother, i know. it's not exactly how you imagined it, is it? i'm sorry. but this could be that chance.

this is a chance. you can do what's best for them. you can show them how much you love them. (sighs) you can let them go. you're really my mother?
