As soon as they reached, Jacob and Naomi revealed to Smitty and Martin that they had been able to locate Samantha Richardson and Tyrell Richardson’s birth mother.

Samantha and Tyrell were Martin and Smitty’s adopted children, and Naomi revealed that their biological mother was June. The kids ended up overhearing their conversation, and while Samantha seemed to be inclined to meet her mother, Tyrell got extremely angry but ultimately told his parents that he, too, would meet with her.
