Returning to San Diego was difficult for Cupcake, who was filled with mixed emotions upon reuniting with her uncle and Daddy. She hadn’t seen her Daddy since leaving San Diego the first time, and he could tell she had grown up quickly and changed. Cupcake hugged her Daddy and uncle for a long time before enjoying a meal together.

They caught up on all that had happened since they were apart, and Uncle Jr. told the story of how Mr. Burns scammed Larry out of his life insurance money. After Larry turned 18, he received his trust fund and put $20,000 of it in the bank. Mr. Burns approached him soon after, begging Larry to forgive him and telling Larry that he wanted to be his father. Larry was lonely and desperate for any sort of parental attention and fell for Mr. Burns’ trick. Mr. Burns convinced Larry to invest in his business, and when Larry figured out he was never getting his money back, Mr. Burns banned him from his shop.

Uncle Jr. then told Cupcake about how her only chance of avoiding foster care was emancipation, which would involve her having a job, going to school, and having her own apartment.
