The Chicken Sisters

Even though the video about Barbara’s house has spread, Mimi’s is still relatively busy, and the pies are almost gone by the end of the night due to Mae’s sign that claims they were all baked at Kenneth’s coffee shop. When Mae talks to Sabrina, Sabrina tells her that Barbara will have to do something about her house even if they drop out of Food Wars because dog protestors will have her dogs taken away. Sabrina tells Mae that she must fix up her mother’s house if she wants Barbara to be left alone. Barbara asks Mae what they have to do for Sabrina to give them a chance at winning, and Mae reveals that they must clean her house. During this conversation, Barbara reveals that she has Parkinson’s disease, which causes her to tremble and has affected her sense of smell. Mae realizes that it would be better if she lived closer to her mom, and Barbara reveals that Amanda does not know about her diagnosis, either. Barbara cries and worries that Mimi’s will not survive the next generation due to an expensive mortgage and inheritance taxes. She claims that this is why Amanda’s father-in-law wanted to buy Mimi’s and her house.
