-Did y'all put him up to this? -No, they didn't.
He wants to stay.
We can bring him to Pittsburgh every month to come see you.
Once a month ain't enough.
Maybe... [sighs]
Maybe you can move back here?
Now all y'all working my nerves.
[Emmett] Come on, you know you miss The Chi.

I'm homeschooling him.
He has a support group and friends.
He has the stability every kid deserves.
[sighs]
Fine.
You can stay.
But I'm still your mama.
And you don't get to run away from me.
I'm not. I promise.
[Shay] Mm-hmm.
And you better come visit me, boy.
[Devante] I will.
