Astarita Family

In this episode, Jo heads off to Lynbrook where she helps Alonzo (41) and Vera (37) keep the peace between their seven children. Lucia and Roberto (both 16) argue with each other all the time, Marie-Louise (14 1/2) is well-behaved, Bianca (11) whines about everything, Sergio (8) hits his parents and siblings and constantly tells them that he hates them and twins Vito and Vivi (both 6) draw on the walls and say nasty words. Can Jo bring this family together or will she fail?
