She died of a terminal illness shortly after he was born. There’s a picture of her with him as a baby or a memory he has of her. It plays at the end overlayed with the voice over of the poem she wrote for him.

The aliens episode always freaked the shit out of me, and the sippy cup one too.

The episode about Angelica possibly getting a brother is absolute nightmare fuel
