In this particular episode, social services are removing her three children from Gloria. This is not realistic at all. One bruise and a few testimonies from neighbors? Children have no wounds or broken bones, they are clean, with clean clothes, well fed. They go to school, their house is clean, their rooms as well. They are not afraid of their mom, but they are worried because their dad is missing. Who wouldn't? The social worker didn't witness personally any drinking from the mother, and except for one time, children always had babysitters. No way in real life children would be taken with so little evidence. Each episode ends with a small cliffhanger, and that one was so badly written, you could see it coming miles away. Weakest episode so far.
