Severance Family

In this episode, Jo meets the Severances in Greentop, Missouri, where widowed Grandpa Reinaldo (64) is raising his 7 grandchildren. While mom Lillian (33) works as a full-time mail carrier, and dad Jorge (37) owns an extermination company, this retired mechanic is having a hard time taking care of these tots. While girls Jessica (9), Carrie (6) and Donna (2) are well-behaved, the boys are not: Jerry (8) swears and fights with his siblings 24/7, Marvin (7) is very defiant, swears and never listens, Rodney (5) hates his grandpa, swears and always lashes out at him and Willie (3) swears and throws tantrums when things don't go his way. Can Jo get Mom and Dad back on track with their kids, or will Grandpa have to raise them for the rest of his life?
