Earline Fitzgerald, Mother of the Year
- Maggie returns to the United States and continues kicking butt.
- Frankie starts negotiations with Billie the Blue Bear's manager, and, over dinner, Maggie tells Frankie that she bought her mom a house. Her mom doesn't know she bought it yet, and it's not far from her old place.
- The next day, Maggie and Frankie drive over to her mom's joint. Her sister, Mardell, and her mom don't look too thrilled to see her.
- Then they head over to the new house. Her Mom isn't grateful. At all. In fact, she raises a ruckus, telling Maggie that she shouldn't have bought her a house because, when the government finds out about it, she'll lose her welfare checks.
- Maggie tells her mom she'll send her more money.
- Then Earline ratchets her campaign for Mother of the Year up a notch and scoffs at Maggie, telling her she should've just given her the money, and that the house is a huge imposition. She. Is. The worst.
- Maggie tells her mom that if she wants the money, she can sell the house, and walks out.
- Back at her old house, Mom continues bemoaning the new house, and Maggie once again tells her she'll send her more money.
- Mom tells Maggie that she should find a man to take care of her and quit fighting because, when people hear that she's a boxer, they laugh at her.
- Then Maggie's mom and sister laugh at her, really rubbing it in. Maggie finally gets the heck out of there.
- At a gas station, Maggie sits in the car, lost in thought, while Frankie cleans the windshield. Frankie can't help but notice how sad she looks. Maggie spots a happy young girl with a dog in the next car over.
- (If that little girl looks familiar, it's because it's director and star Clint Eastwood's youngest daughter, Morgan. Maybe she'd look more familiar if she squinted.)
- The little girl waves, and Maggie smiles back.
- Later that night, as Frankie and Maggie drive along in the dark, Maggie tells Frankie about her dad and his dog, Axel, and how her dad had to take Axel out in the woods and put him down one day. She misses watching them together.
- Then she tells Frankie she's got nobody but him, and he says, "Well, you've got me." #RoadTripBonding
- They stop for homemade lemon pie at Ira's Roadside Diner, a tiny, out-of-the-way, well, diner. Frankie loves—nay, lurves—it.
- Maggie tells Frankie that she used to go there with her dad. Frankie wonders if the place is for sale.
