"The Closest I Came to Normal Life"

In this episode, Sammy D shares a poignant story about her time in foster care, where she briefly found a sense of normalcy and belonging with two families. As she opened her heart to new beginnings with Tony, Johnny, Shelly, and Ed, and later Terry and Aaron, she experienced milestones of a typical adolescence—her first job, prom, and even a curfew.
