The two then have a talk about what would happen if he really died and she was under age and he tells her that he's talked to Mrs. Johnson and she'd get custody of her if anything happens to him before she turns 18 so she'd have nothing to worry about and she'd always have a place to stay.

102. "The Return Part 2"

Punky continues talking to her Mom on the phone and Henry tells her not to let her hang up. Punky tells her to come over to her apartment and gives her the address, but Punky finds out her mother is too upset to return to her. Punky starts to cry and tells her it's okay. Then her Mom hangs up. Punky realizes her Mom is very much alive. Henry rushes to call the police and alerts them what happened. They track the phone call but it was from a pay phone. Later that night, when Henry's asleep, Punky can't sleep and there's another phone call from her Mom. Punky answers the phone and talks to her. She tells her she understands if she had to abandon her when she was younger. She tells her mother to just come over and everything will be okay. Henry wakes up and sees Punky talking to her Mom and gets on the phone and talks to her. He tells her who he is and how he's raised her for the past 5 years and they would be happy if she comes over right that minute. Henry finds out that Punky's Mom is leaving and doesn't want to tell anyone where she's going. Punky gets on the phone again and tells her Mom not to leave again. As Punky talks to her Mom, Henry rushes to Mrs. Johnson's apartment and calls the police. They track down where she's calling from and rush to find her. Henry gets a call from the police a few minutes later saying they have Punky's Mom and that they're bringing her to his apartment.


"The Return Part 3"


In the conclusion to Punky Brewster, the police arrive with Punky's Mom at her apartment. Punky and her Mom hug and she finally tells her why she abandoned her 5 years ago. She was financially in trouble, Punky's father had run out years ago on them, and she didn't know what to do for work, so she left Punky at the market and took off to find work. She struggled for a few years and worked different jobs, then finally started making good money until she was laid off again. She had seriously been thinking about suicide which is why she called Punky at her apartment. Punky asks how she knew where she was and she tells her she hired a PI when she had some money a while back to find out her location, which explained the Christmas gift she left for her several years ago. Punky tells her that everything will be okay now, she's back and she now has both her and Henry. Henry then brings up the subject of custody and what will happen with Punky now that her Mom is back. A vacant, low income apartment in the building becomes available, and Henry tells Punky's Mom she can live there with her and that way they can all be together all the time in the same building. Punky's Mom agrees. The next day, Henry throws a party in the yard for the return of Punky's Mom and everyone is there, Alan, Cheri, Mrs. Johnson, Margeux, Spud and even Mike.
