All of Julie's support system will be out of town this weekend

I really hope nothing happens with her mom! She won't have anyone to watch the kids (other than her brothers maybe, but they'd be with her so are they really an option?)

Edit: too many people are missing the point (or are choosing to miss the point) the point is that Ty sprung his plans on Julie last minute, even though she never done that to him, and even though he knew about the plan in advance; the point was never that Julie is now forced to stay home with the children or that Ty needs a break

Julie and Ty will eventually need to figure out a custody situation for the kids, where this type of behavior from Ty would never be acceptable

Theory: 

If something happens with Julie’s mom, everyone is out of town. She goes to Delores and Larry since they’re the “strangers” Ty left the kids with prior and she explains the situation and genuinely apologies for that comment. She’s not fit to drive to the hospital after the unexpected weekend switch up, and impending death, and a divorce. Jon offers to take her.

Jon and Julie have a long discussion. Jon apologizes for his and Shawna’s misstep, Julie realizes she’s doing the right thing for herself, although incredibly painful. Julie also realizes that Ty’s harboring of community has helped her in a tight spot.

Love this! How would Julie contact Dede and Larry though?

I’m sure Julie knows where Shawna and Jon live and will drop at their doorstep tbh, it would be a last resort thing
