PREVIOUSLY, ON "sMOTHERED"...

WE'RE GONNA HAVE THIS PARTY -- A BIG PARTY. THAT'S IT.

MY SON CROSS'S FIRST COMMUNION IS COMING UP,

SO, OF COURSE, WE ARE PLANNING A PARTY.

EXCEPT CARLO'S STICKING HIS NOSE IN OUR BUSINESS...

YOU WANT A BIG PARTY? THEN, WE CAN DO WHAT WE WANT.

GROWING UP, MY MOM ALWAYS TAUGHT ME

TO BE CONFIDENT AND LOVE MYSELF,

SO SHE SHOULD TAKE HER OWN ADVICE.

[ LAUGHS ]

LIKE, YOU'RE YELLING AT ME ABOUT --

YOU KNOW, A LITTLE UPSET AT ME THAT I TOOK HER

TO THIS LAMAZE CLASS.

IF JARED FEELS EXCLUDED AGAIN,

THEN HE MIGHT NOT WANT MY MOM HERE AS MUCH.

I REALLY DON'T WANT IT TO COME TO THAT,

SO, MAYBE SHE NEEDS TO TAKE A STEP BACK.

ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?

I LOVE JASON, BUT AT THIS POINT,

I REALLY NEED TO BREAK UP WITH HIM.

ALL MY EX'S THINGS ARE OUT OF THE CLOSET.

I HOPE ANGELICA WILL STAND FIRM ON WHAT SHE'S GOING TO DO.

AND COMING UP...

TWINS NOW! I KNOW!

JARED AND I HAVE BEEN PLANNING THIS GENDER-REVEAL PARTY

BY OURSELVES.

WHAT AM I DOING IN THIS WHOLE THING? WHAT AM I DOING?

IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU! IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU!

SHE DOESN'T LEARN TO COMPROMISE,

SHE'S GOING TO MAKE THINGS REALLY HARD FOR ME.

IF YOU'RE GONNA BRING STRESS TO THIS GENDER-REVEAL,

THEN DON'T COME.

I'M 31.

I THINK I CAN MAKE DECISIONS FOR MYSELF.

YOU TELLING ME WHAT TO DO STOPS NOW.

OH, DOES IT?

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING ]

SO, TODAY, I'M GONNA MAKE MY MOM DO A SEXY PHOTO SHOOT WITH ME.

I THINK WE SHOULD LOSE THE TOPS.

I'M NOT DOING IT.

I'M DONE.MOM, WHERE ARE YOU --

NO. NO.

Cristina: MY MOM AND I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL PARTY PLANNED,

BUT I AM WORRIED THAT CARLO'S FAMILY IS GONNA STIR THINGS UP.

WHAT?! ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ME?!

SO THAT I COULD BREAK UP WITH HIM.

I DON'T THINK HE'S THE GUY FOR YOU.

AND IT'LL BE JUST YOU AND I AGAIN.

NO MORE JASON. OKAY?

THAT'S WHY IT'S NOT AN ENGAGEMENT RING.

OKAY. THEN --

BECAUSE I AM NOT IN A POSITION FOR THAT, YET.

I CAN'T ASK ANGELICA TO MARRY ME UNTIL I'M DIVORCED,

WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT YESTERDAY,

AND THE DATE AND STUFF?

I WAS NERVOUS BECAUSE THESE GUYS ARE IN THEIR 20s.

SO, HOW DO YOU GUYS KNOW EACH OTHER?

IT'S MY MOM.

I FEEL REALLY BAD ABOUT LYING TO MY MOM,

BUT I JUST WANTED HER TO FEEL SEXY AND CONFIDENT.

UM, SO, I HAVE AN IDEA.

♪♪

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, AN IDEA?

'CAUSE EVERY TIME YOU HAVE AN IDEA, IT'S SOMETHING OUT THERE.

WELL, I HAVE A PHOTO SHOOT COMING UP FOR MY SOCIAL MEDIA,

SO I WAS THINKING, LIKE, MAYBE YOU SHOULD COME

AND BE A PART OF IT.

A PART OF IT, HOW?

LIKE, IN THE PICTURES.

I HAVE A HUGE SOCIAL-MEDIA FOLLOWING,

AND I DO A LOT OF SEXY PHOTO SHOOTS.

ME AND MY MOM DO A LOT OF THINGS TOGETHER,

BUT THIS IS ONE THING WE'VE NEVER DONE TOGETHER.

I WANT HER TO DO A PHOTO SHOOT

SO SHE CAN FEEL... AMAZING ABOUT HERSELF.

LIKE, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

DO -- WHAT DOES ME BEING IN IT MEAN?

JUST A PHOTO SHOOT.

DON'T WORRY, EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE TAKEN CARE OF.

MARIAH POSTS SOME REALLY RACY PHOTOS ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

I REALLY DON'T WANT TO TAKE PHOTOS LIKE SHE TAKES.

I THINK THAT'S AT HER AGE LEVEL.

I'VE NEVER DONE THAT KIND OF STUFF BEFORE.

DO YOU REALLY REALIZE, LIKE, HOW BEAUTIFUL YOU ARE,

LIKE, FOR REAL, FOR REAL?

I MEAN, I APPRECIATE IT, BABY.

THANK YOU. I'M GLAD YOU SEE ME THAT WAY.

BUT YOU KNOW, AS YOU GET OLDER, YOU JUST KIND OF LOOK

IN THE MIRROR AND YOU'RE LIKE, "UGH.

AM I STILL YOUNG AND YOUTHFUL?"

A PHOTO SHOOT WILL CHANGE THAT IN A QUICK, QUICK HEARTBEAT.

YOU'LL BE FEELING SEXY AND EMPOWERED

LIKE A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN. LIKE, "WHOA, I LOOK LIKE THIS?"

WHEN I DO THE PHOTO SHOOTS, I FEEL A SENSE OF EMPOWERMENT,

AND I JUST FEEL LIKE... THE SEXIEST PERSON POSSIBLE.

AND IT JUST MAKES ME FEEL GOOD ABOUT MYSELF.

I CAN WALK OUT OF THE HOUSE AND JUST FEEL LIKE,

"DAMN," LIKE, "I KNOW I LOOK GOOD."

ESPECIALLY WOMEN WHEN THEY GET OLDER, LIKE,

YOU NEED TO FEEL IT STILL.

EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE LIKE --

IF SOCIETY TELLS YOU, "OH, I'M 40.

I'M 50," OR WHATEVER.

LIKE, "OH, I'M NOT SEXY NO MORE."

THAT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING.

IT'S JUST HOW LONG YOU'VE BEEN ON THIS EARTH.

IF YOU'RE CUTE, AND YOU'RE CONFIDENT, AND YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL,

AND YOU'RE SECURE WITHIN YOURSELF,

YOU CAN DO WHATEVER THE HELL YOU WANT TO DO.

EVERY AGE IS BEAUTIFUL.

PERIOD. I LOVE YOU.

PERIOD.

OKAY, SO, WHAT KIND OF CLOTHES AM I WEARING?

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

JUST COME CUTE, CALM, AND COLLECTED.

SO, YOU'RE GONNA DO IT? YOU'RE GONNA COME?

YOU REALLY WANT ME TO?

MM-HMM.

Sandra: MARIAH TALKS ME INTO A LOT OF THINGS.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS ABOUT THAT GIRL, BUT I'M LIKE --

I GET MESMERIZED BY HER.

AND I THINK IT'S BECAUSE SHE'S 21 THAT I GET EXCITED

THAT SHE WANTS TO INCLUDE ME.

SO, I END UP DOING THINGS THAT AFTER, I THINK,

"DID SHE JUST REALLY TALK ME INTO DOING THIS?"

IT'S CRAZY.

OKAY. I'LL DO IT.

YAY!

OHH, HERE WE GO AGAIN.

HI, IWONA. HOW ARE YOU?

YEAH. HELLO, CROSS.

GONNA MAKE MY GRANDSON LOOK HANDSOME FOR HIS COMMUNION?

YES.

MY SON CROSS'S FIRST COMMUNION IS THIS WEEKEND.

AND EVEN THOUGH MY MOM AND I LOVE TO THROW BIG PARTIES,

WE WANTED TO DO SOMETHING SMALLER.

BUT MY HUSBAND, CARLO, SAID ABSOLUTELY NOT.

WE HAD TO HAVE A BIG ONE.

IF THERE'S A PARTY, IT'S NOT GONNA BE JANKY.

YOU WANT A BIG PARTY? THEN, WE CAN DO WHAT WE WANT.

NOW WE'RE HAVING THIS HUGE EVENT.

AND HALF OF THEM OF THEM WHO ARE COMING,

CARLO'S FAMILY, DON'T EVEN LIKE ME AND MY MOM.

I REMEMBER WHEN WE USED TO HAVE TO TIE HIM TO THE CHAIR

TO GET A HAIRCUT.OH, MY GOD, YEAH.

IWONA, WHEN HE FIRST STARTED GETTING HAIRCUTS, HE WAS SO BAD.

THEY DIDN'T EVEN WANT US TO BRING HIM.

I HAD TO LEAVE. I COULDN'T GO TO THIS ONE BARBER ANYMORE.

HE TOLD ME, "DO NOT BRING THAT KID BACK HERE."

REALLY? YEAH.

AND THEN HE KICKED THE ONE, UM, THE BARBER.

HE KICKED HIM IN HIS BALLS. [ CHUCKLES ]

HE'S CHANGED.WITH YOU, I DON'T KNOW.

WE HAD THE COMMUNION REHEARSAL LAST NIGHT.

HOW'D THAT GO? IT WAS GOOD.

BUT IT WAS A LITTLE CHAOTIC YESTERDAY.

FIRST COMMUNION IS A BIG MILESTONE FOR CATHOLIC CHILDREN.

AND ONCE THEY RECEIVE COMMUNION FOR THE FIRST TIME,

THEN THEY CAN ACTUALLY PARTICIPATE IN THE WHOLE MASS.

WHAT ABOUT THE MILLION THINGS WE HAVE TO DO?

I KNOW. STILL HAVE TO DO LIKE A MILLION THINGS.

I HAVE TO GO TO THE ICE-SCULPTURE PLACE

'CAUSE IT TAKES -- LIKE, THE ICE, IT TAKES A WHILE

TO, LIKE, FORM OR WHATEVER THEY DO.

TO MAKE THE ICE?YEAH, THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID.

ARE YOU GOING TO THE PLACE I ALWAYS GO TO?

YEAH. OKAY.

SO, WE HAVE TO GO THERE.

THE DAY OF THE COMMUNION, EVERYBODY GETS DRESSED UP

AND THEN WE HAVE A PARTY AFTER THE CHURCH.

BUT, USUALLY, WE KEEP IT SMALL WITH JUST, LIKE,

CLOSE FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

AND THAT'S WHY, ORIGINALLY,

THE PLAN WAS TO KEEP THE COMMUNION PARTY SMALL.

BUT CARLO INSISTED ON HAVING THIS BLOW-OUT PARTY.

I STILL HAVEN'T ORDERED THE CAKE.

SO, THE ONE I FOUND IS LIKE THREE TIERS.

AND THEN THEY PUT A BIG ROSARY ON IT WITH THE CHALICE.

OH, IT'S SO COOL.

WELL, WE GOT TO DO TABLE SEATINGS.

WE DIDN'T DO THAT YET.I KNOW.

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE WEARING AND EVERYTHING?

I'M NOT, LIKE, FOR SURE.

I'M NOT WEARING THE SAME THING TO CHURCH

THAT I'M WEARING TO THE COMMUNION BECAUSE --

YOU'RE DOING A CHANGE?

YEAH, I HAVE TO.THIS IS LIKE A WEDDING.

YOU'RE DOING A CHANGE?

I CAN'T WEAR TO THE CHURCH WHAT I'M GONNA WEAR.

TOO FLASHY?NO, IT'S BACKLESS.

THEY SAID THAT AT THE REHEARSAL, LIKE,

MAKE SURE YOUR CLOTHES ARE, UH...

DID THEY?...CHURCH-APPROPRIATE.

YOU KNOW, I GREW UP GOING TO CHURCH.

BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT I CAN'T WEAR SOMETHING

THAT SHOWS OFF MY STYLE -- SOMETHING A LITTLE FLASHY.

WELL, I'LL DRESS RESPECTFULLY IN THE HOUSE OF GOD.

BUT WHEN I LEAVE CHURCH, ALL BETS ARE OFF.

YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY NOTHING HAPPENS,

AND IT'S CALM AND COOL.

IT IS HIS COMMUNION. THAT'S WHAT IT'S ABOUT.

WELL, AND WHEN YOU MIX ALCOHOL IN WITH THIS GROUP,

EVERYTHING GETS INTENSIFIED.THAT'S WHAT IT'S ABOUT.

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. SO, THERE COULD ALWAYS BE --

DID YOU HIRE SECURITY?

[ Chuckling ] NO. I HAVE NOT.

REMEMBER THE LAST BIG FIASCO.

RIGHT.

THIS WILL BE THE FIRST TIME EVERYBODY'S TOGETHER

SINCE CARLO'S BROTHER'S WEDDING.

AND I'M SURE THAT MEMORY IS FRESH IN EVERYBODY'S HEAD.

AT THE WEDDING, CARLO'S ONE BROTHER AND CARLO

GOT INTO A FIST FIGHT AT ONE POINT.

OOH, CROSS, YOU LOOK SO GOOD.

Cristina: I KNOW MY MOM AND I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL PARTY PLANNED,

BUT I AM WORRIED THAT CARLO'S FAMILY

IS GONNA STIR THINGS UP AND RUIN IT,

AND I REALLY DO NOT HAVE A REPEAT OF THE LAST TIME.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
