You can apply for guardianship when you're 18.

Laura's had issues

Nothing.

I got into trouble when I was younger.

Can you, um...

You have a concussion. You just need to rest.

It's okay.

Piper got you this.
Your body spray.
You can't let her out, Laura.

not while it's raining.
Something could happen.
Like what?
I saw my dad in the shower.
(SIGHS) He said something.
(EXHALES)
What'd he say?
Andy?
He said, "She'll die in the rain."
You don't think it's 'cause your dad died in the shower
when I killed him?
What?
Your dad died in the shower.
What...
You're associating rain with that.
(SCOFFS)
What is happening to me?
Hey, don't worry.
I'll keep her inside.
I'll keep her inside, I promise.

Uh-huh. Thanks, Laura.
Hey, you can call me Mum, if you like.
Um, maybe.
Hey.
She always used to...
wear her hair back like this.
She didn't want her hair sticking to her face
or getting in her mouth.
There you are.
Hey, you like living here with me?
PIPER: Yeah.
Yeah, you're really nice.
You think you like it enough that when Andy turns 18
you maybe want to stay?

Someone hit me.
- You hit her? - Don't be ridiculous.
So Ollie hit her?
I put her to bed and then you went into her room.
Didn't you?
Huh?
(SCOFFS) You can't even remember.
Piper.
Who did this?
I don't know.
But I smelt you.
You're abusive, Andy.
Just like your dad.
He hit you, so you hit her.
What do you mean, Dad hit him?
Yeah, he abused Andy. That's why he didn't save him.
ANDY: That's not true.
- He hit you? - No, he didn't.
I've tried to help you, Andy, but I can't.
You've butchered Oliver's mouth.
You've been seeing your dead dad.
I hate to think what you've done with Junkman.
Stop, Laura.
You're the only one strong enough
- to leave that kind of mark. - Laura, stop.
You take those steroids or hormones or whatever.
It's creatine.
Well, your testosterone is out of control!
Laura, you'd better fucking stop right now.
Or what? You're gonna hit me too?
PIPER: Please guys, enough.

Andy, no.
No, no. Andy, look at me.

That's it.
I could be a few hours, darling.
Call the cops.
Laura told me...
you hit your sister and attacked her.
Oh, she's fucking lying!
She's full of shit, Wendy, I swear.
You've been wetting the bed?
Oh!
Would you say your grief over Dad is getting better
or worse?
It's not about my fucking Dad!
Laura kidnapped a fucking child.
I mean, did you do any fucking checks on her
before you sent us there?
How do you even know who the fuck she is?
'Cause she worked here for nearly 20 years.
She was the best counselor we had.
And believe me, love, she would never hurt a child.
