Gerald has a daydream while driving. During this fantasy, he is in a limousine with Snow White on their way to Disney World. In the vehicle, they eat ice cream.

When he comes back to reality, he realizes he is alone in his car.

Chapter 19 Summary: “Episode 2, Preshow Meeting”

A year after Gerald’s family’s episode with Network Nanny aired, Gerald’s mother wrote another letter to the network to ask Nanny to return since things haven’t improved. Tasha continues to engage in inappropriate behavior, this time humping pillows in front of everyone without shame. The producers of Network Nanny agree to do another episode with Gerald’s family, prompting Gerald’s mother to have the kitchen redone because she’s concerned about televised appearances. The family negotiates for more money from the network as well.

In the consultation with Gerald’s family, Nanny speaks with Gerald individually to express that she knew things had been “unfair” (90) for him last time and that she would help his mother see things his way this time around.
