I like how Willona defended Penny when her natural mother tried to hit her again!

That stinkin' B--

That's because she's Penny's real mother! Ms. Gordon only gave birth to her. That doesn't make a mother.

@ bunjijumper5345 You haven't watched the entire episode. Penny's " mother" is abusive . She burnt her with an hot iron and beat her because she had a tough life and a single mother. Now all of the sudden because she married a rich man, all her abusive ways just dissappear?? You are insane.
