Three Lucky Ladies On The Line

Present: Tillie Sims arrives for a visit and once again puts her son in jeopardy when a loan shark follows her from Florida looking for the money she owes him, prompting M.E. to give Tillie an ultimatum; worried that April's incoherent behavior means that she has a substance abuse problem, Rene forces her to take a drug test, which turns out negative; when April begins to exhibit delusional behavior, Rene gets Mrs. Samuels' permission to take her to a doctor. Past: After James is attacked by the police during the march on Selma, Elston and James disagree about the effectiveness of non-violent protest; after federal troops are sent in to protect the marchers, the entire Jackson family joins the march; Rene is forced to reconsider the practice of non-violence when she is tormented by Tully's constant bullying; Colliar's mother doesn't intervene when he is abused by his father.

Colliers Mutter Tillie kündigt ihren Besuch an. M.E. ahnt Böses. Tatsächlich reist Tillie mit einem Berg Spielschulden an, verfolgt von dubiosen Gestalten. Renes Schützling April scheint unter Drogen zu stehen. Doch die Tests sind negativ. Rene ist ratlos. (Text: Premiere)
