Malakai stays with Missy's family all of next episode.

Reception

Christine Kinori of thereviewgeek.com says “I felt it was unfair for Sasha to insert herself into Quinn’s plans and then get mad over it. She knew that Quinn was excited about the event, she had been planning it for months. [...] I was frustrated when the kids kept cheering for Malakai to jump, is foolishness contagious or something? It was a dangerous situation, I was glad Jai helped Malakai.” [4] Jonathon Wilson of ready steady cut gave the episode a 4.5 out of 5. [5] reelmockery.com gave it a 5.5 out of 10. [6]
