After social services laid her an ultimatum of whether Keith goes or Johnny and Tee go, Lucy was at a stalemate. She couldn't kick Keith out and let him be homeless again, nor could she let her children go. She decided to let Johnny and Tee go and live in care permanently.
Back at Sylvan Lodge, Elaine was reading out the letter that Lucy left Johnny and Tee.
- I can't take care of you two anymore. I am letting you end up somewhere better than I am. But I want you to know that Mummy loves you, but she is not sure whether she'll see you soon.
Tee sobbed in Johnny's arms, and that would be a new novelty for weeks. Living in Sylvan Lodge for the pair was going great, until two years later, it came to a halt.
Johnny and Tee changed social workers once now, and a man called Rob, tall with mop hair came for Johnny and Tee.
"Hi, I'm Rob, your new social worker. You're going to move to a new place called Elm Tree House," he informed Johnny and Tee. They reluctantly got their belongings and moved off to this new care home.
"Hi, I'm Paul, temporary head care worker," he shook Johnny's hand and let Johnny and Tee into the house. Although Johnny was 10 years old, he felt like crying, but wanted to protect an 8 year old Tee. Their social worker left them there ten minutes after a chat, and Johnny felt dissatisfied with this place. It was totally lifeless and small. There were a number of kids, himself, Tee, a girl called Kat, a comic obsessed boy called Toby, a violent girl Sarah Moris, a cheeky boy called Liam, and two children with cerebral palsy called Layla and Frank. Overtime they got used to living at Elm Tree, with people coming and going loads, and they had a fantastic life with the main head care worker Mike Milligan, who treated them in a fatherly way. Even more fun when former resident Tracy Beaker worked there for three years. Johnny and Tee loved their life at Elm Tree House.
But is Lucy Taylor living her best life?
