Moving In
Played by Julie Harris, Val's mother Lilimae Clements arrives on the scene by being a good semaritan who hides a sad secret. She is homeless and when she is caught stealing a scarf she is sentanced to probation and into the care of her daugher Valene Ewing who is less than pleased. Valene holds a grudge against her mama who abandoned her as a child to pursue the dream of a singing career.
"I tell you what sugar, we'll give it a try." Lilimae Clements.

The gang is gathered at Val and Gary's house awaiting the commercial. Kenny and Ginger bring their baby girl.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The commercial is a success and Gary can't help but burst out of his shirt with pride or is it muscle? Hmm.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To Val's shock she sees her long lost mama on television but finds out, "She's a homeless vagrant."
