* ''Sypnosis:'' Mac has a secret to hide, related to his strange bruises all over his body. When Frankie decides to find out the truth, drama ensues and she discovers new-found (non-romantic) feelings for the little guy. Comes as a double feature with "Falling Apart", where [[It Got Worse|things get even worse]] for Mac as {{spoiler|his mother dies in a car crash}} and he is forced apart from Frankie {{spoiler|who wants to adopt him}}.
 
* ''Comments:'' [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Playing]] with the show's idea of adopting friends, these stories are incredibly well done and heartfelt. It has [[Precision F-Strike|several unexpected "F" bombs]], yet it doesn't come across as gratuitous. It does have a small melodramatic undertone, but overall they are a worthwhile read for any Foster's fan. Also, while its basis is on the show's canon, it quickly deviates as you can see by the preview. As an added bonus, these stories are the basis of a series of over 70 consistently humorous one-shots.
** Interestingly this series has a bit of [[Fridge Brilliance]] to what happens after the events of "Falling Apart"; the fan base has agreed that Frankie is Mac's [[Parental Substitute]] so it's logical and [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|sweet]] that {{spoiler|Frankie becomes his legal guardian.}} And one of the one-shots [[Distant Finale|set when Mac and Goo are teenagers]] shows that {{spoiler|Mac occasionally calls Frankie "mom" due to the change in their relationship...and it doesn't hurt that Frankie's daughter calls Mac her brother.}}
