Mama June: Road to Redemption Season 5 returned to WEtv for an all-new intense episode on Friday night.
Titled Too Little Too Late, in episode 20, June thought she could move in closer to where her family was staying and take Alana from her sister. However, she was proven wrong. Josh and Pumpkin decided to file for sole custody of Alana after the 16-year-old herself shared that she didn't want to stay with her mother.
This week on Mama June: Road to Redemption, Pumpkin surprised June by visiting her at her new place. She was already furious at June and it only got worse after the latter shared that Alana could live with her now.
Pumpkin then told June that Alana would not be moving in with her, adding that she was Alana's mother now, and had been, ever since June had abandoned her years ago.
However, June didn't back down. She yelled at Pumpkin, claiming that Alana was hers and that she could take her back anytime.
Fans who watched the episode took to social media to slam June and claim that Alana didn't want to live with her.

More details on what happened this week in Mama June: Road to Redemption Season 5, Episode 20
When Pumpkin told her mother that Alana would be staying with her and that she was her mother now, June retorted by asking her daughter whether she had written proof of the same. Though the question stumped Pumpkin, she didn't back down.
When she returned home and told Josh what had happened, the Mama June: Road to Redemption couple immediately decided that it would be best if they filed for Alana's sole custody. Since the temporary custody they had was outdated, the two decided to visit a lawyer and file for a new one.
Alana, who overheard the conversation between Pumpkin and Josh, told them that she wasn't interested in living with June, especially after she heard about her mother's new boyfriend Justin. The 16-year-old revealed that she didn't trust Justin and didn't feel comfortable staying with them.
Alana further added that while Justin might seem nice at first, things could go south at any time, just like it did with Geno. The next day, Alana and Pumpkin visited a lawyer who filed the necessary papers.
Now, all that is left is for June to sign the paper. However, the family knows that it will be a difficult task to get her to sign Alana over to Pumpkin and Josh's custody.
Mama June: Road to Redemption airs every Friday night at 9 pm ET only on WEtv. Readers can check their local listings for more information.
