Fans side with Pumpkin and Josh as they file for custody of Alana in Mama June: Road to Redemption Season 5
Recap
Episode 20 of Mama June: Road to Redemption kicked off right where it ended last week. Pumpkin and Jessica paid a surprise visit to June's new place, which was merely 10 minutes away from their home. June told Pumpkin that she had decided to take a big place so that Jessica and Alana could move in with her.
Jessica was quick to retaliate and claimed that she would rather continue to sleep on Pumpkin's couch than move in with her mother. Meanwhile, Pumpkin also became furious and claimed that Alana would not be staying with June.
The Mama June: Road to Redemption star shared:
"Alana is not staying here. Get that through your thick f***ing skull. Why would I let her come here and stay? I'm her mama now."
June clapped back at Pumpkin and asked her if she had it in writing. During her confessional, the Mama June: Road to Redemption star shared that she was still Alana's mother and could take Alana back anytime she wanted.
Pumpkin shared that she had worked a lot to bring her family into a somewhat functional state. She added that she would not let her mother come back and change all of that. When she returned home, Pumpkin narrated the entire situation to Josh, who was shocked by June's behavior.
The Mama June: Road to Redemption couple then decided that it was best to file for sole custody of Alana. Hearing commotion coming from the living room, Alana questioned what happened. After Pumpkin told her younger sister what their mother had said, Alana shared that she would not be willing to go and stay with June.
Alana also shared that she was scared that Justin might turn out to be like Geno. She claimed that Geno had also been sweet at first, but later showed his true colors. The Mama June: Road to Redemption star shared that she didn't trust her mother and would rather stay with Pumpkin and Josh.
The couple then contacted a lawyer who helped them file the papers for sole custody. The only thing Pumpkin and Josh had to do was get June to sign those papers and then they would have custody of Alana.
Fans who watched the episode took to social media to share that Pumpkin and Josh were right. They reiterated that Alana would be better off with them than June.
