Margaret: The young woman I was talking to earlier is my daughter. Yeah. I know. The abridged version is she wants to emancipate from me, and I am dealing with it.
Lacey: Wow, OK. First, you don't have to deal with it on your own. And second, are you really going to sign the emancipation docs?
Margaret: She's never asked me for anything before. It's the least I can do. I haven't been Taylor's mom for a long time. Not since Jamie went missing. Lacey: Emancipation is permanent, Margaret.
Margaret: I'm aware
Lacey: Did her dad put her up to this?
Margaret: I doubt it. I mean, Taylor's always been really headstrong. And Daryl's not a bad person. The reason he went for full custody of the kids was because he saw what I couldn't. That my inability to stop looking for Jamie was hurting our other kids more. Distance and time brings clarity. So Daryl made the right call.
