Decades after Dixie went to live with relatives in Iowa, her biological sister Molly was still angry that they never grew up together. Another family member believed Dixie had been better off with the parents who raised her.

In Part 2, Anita Johnson talks with Corey and Kendall about loving Gram after learning the truth, the questions she never asked her mother and whether there was ever a right time to move Dixie back. The conversation also leads Kendall to reflect on the nine years since finding his birth mother and what acceptance looks like now.
