Emily Rios | Epyck Sanders
Epyck Sanders was a troubled young woman who lived in a foster home. She made it clear that school wasn’t a priority as she would skip classes regularly and smoke on school grounds, all while feeding happy-sounding lies to her foster guardians. She would eventually meet Tami, who gave her guidance as a counselor, but it was all for nothing.
Later in the series, we see Epyck stealing money from a teacher and physically assaulting Tami before being hauled away in a squad car. Tami is heartbroken that she couldn’t save Epyck, but her husband consoles her by saying that you can’t help someone who doesn’t want it.
