Though, really, let’s not forget that thisisBeth’s fault.
Ruby, meanwhile, is working a shift at the diner, dealing with three teen boys.
Like what college has the best program?

Do you have to buy the uniform?
‘Cause that’s some high-quality polyester right there."
Sadie can’t find anything to wear, and the pants Annie just bought her are apparently too big.
Because she has great mom intuition, Annie asks Sadie if people at school are pulling her pants down.
“They want to know what I am,” Sadie reluctantly admits.
Scenes like this are why I’m willing to forgive the more far-fetched moments of the show (i.e.
Beth reacting a little too nonchalantly to the bleeding man in her daughter’s bed).
The anchor of this series will always be the immense heart in their familial interactions.
Summoned to Beth’s house, Rio holds court with the girls.
Ruby pitches back, “She thought it would be like driving for Uber.”
They unsurprisingly acquiesce because let’s face it: Emma is going to need a new bed.
Boomer is also having his own meeting with one Agent Turner of the FBI.
The FBI agent is mildly amused as he indulges Boomer, though clearly does not believe him.
He also sees her three Trumps-in-training and raises her his being called Paul Blart every single day.
Honestly, it might be a draw.
Beth tells him to take the keys to her minivan on the kitchen counter.
The snarky “oh, are you?”
that Ruby hits her with is not nearly as severe as I want it to be.
Lucky for her, Beth is saved by the kids after Dean drops them back home.
Kenny informs her that while five of his friends can’t make it, 32 can!
Beth gives Dean a look of death as Ruby and Annie usher Kenny out of the line of fire.
“The least we can do is throw him a damn party,” Dean says.
As they’re checking out, Annie gets a text from Sadie’s school.
Greg’s already there and has spoken to the principal because Sadie punched a guy.
Annie tells him that some kids have been pulling down Sadie’s pants in the cafeteria.
She stops him from going back into the principal’s office, convincing him that she will handle it.
At the diner, the sizzling fajita teen and his mom are awaiting an apology.
They have pictures and throw around the phrase “skin graft.”
When Ruby refuses to relent, the mom accuses Ruby of setting a bad example for her own children.
The day of Kenny’s party finally arrives, and there’s a surprise guest: Rio!
You get a trophy just for playing?"
You gotta win, bitch."
As he storms out, he almost runs into Boomer, who had delivered Kenny’s birthday cake.
As their argument boils over, Dean announces that he has cancer.
“Thanks for loaning me the whip,” he says by way of apology.
Because he’s a gangster with a heart of gold, he’s also filled up the tank.
After he tells Annie that he owes them, she asks him if he needs a ride.
(“Oh, you guys didn’t hit me up to do brunch?")
They want to clean his fake cash at big box retailers with generous return policies.
They’ll purchase everything with Rio’s fake money and get back real money when they make their returns.
You all want healthcare?
“We’re not here to try.
We’re here to win, bitch,” Beth throws back at him.
After squaring away their new business, Beth is getting Dean set up in Kenny’s room.
He’s looking at brain scans on Kenny’s computer when Beth comes in with some pillows.
It is someone just as frightening, though: Agent Turner.
And the heat is on.
