Brat Camp: Graduation 1

It’s day 37 only 5 days before Christmas and the brats still need to confront their personal demons before moving on. The show does a little recap of each brat. We learn that Heathers mom overdosed on heroin and that’s why she’s adopted. The majority of these kids are adopted or missing a parent, bringing up my theory that the worse than abortion is adoption.
Lauren calls Isaiah and Frank fakes, which in Isaiah’s case we know is true.
The staff sets up two chairs, one for the brat and the other empty. Four campers will confront a person who did them wrong by talking to the empty chair.
Shawn goes first and he talks to his birth mom who gave him up for adoption when he was a baby. He’s mad because she doesn’t call him.
Lauren is next she speaks to her dead dad who died six years earlier.
Heather the most emotionally closed off talks to her mom in a drug overdosed coma.
Lexie talks last and of course confronts her molester she was in seventh grade and it happened on her couch when the crime happened.
The staff then tells each kid why they will stay or go home for Christmas. Heather and Lexie will both be graduating and then shipped off to boarding school. It’s bad enough that Lexie has weak parents but their going to take a victim and put her in a strange place with strange men miles from home and alone, good job mom & dad. Way to support your kids.
Day 40 is and it’s graduation for some. Nick is still unsure whether or not he’ll be going home. He has to do a book report before he leaves.
The parents of Heather and Lexie arrive and there is lots of crying. Lexie’s mom is greatful to have her daughter back safe under her roof and will soon throw her away. Nick does his report and gets to go home when his parents arrive.
One more episode and hopefully an update special but I’ve heard nothing about one.
