 SEASON 1, EPISODE 8 MOTHER'S DAY Mother's Day turns into an offspring's nightmare as two teens struggle for their respective mother's attentions. Billy (Byron Thames) is the new kid on Elm Street, but is struggling to cope with losing his mother to an oppressive and overbearing stepfather. Despite that, Billy has his eyes on the girl across the street, Barbara (Jill Whitlow), who has problems of her own in the form of a work-obsessed radio talk show host of a mother, who clearly needs a lesson in how to prioritize.
