what happened to the kids on the tv show mom

A surprising exit shook upwards Mom's Flavor 2 finale, as fiddling Roscoe demanded to move in with his male parent Baxter and out of the increasingly toxic home shared past his female parent Christy and grandmother Bonnie.

Of grade, maintaining the laughter throughout a story arc that began with Bonnie'due south relapse into drug and booze abuse — and the subsequent, seething resentment of fellow alcoholic daughter Christy — proved to exist "the most challenging work" of executive producer and co-creator Chuck Lorre's career. "We always have to honor the fact that we are a comedy — and I don't want to lose sight of that," he tells TVLine. "But at the same time, the hope from the very kickoff of the series was to tackle real-life issues that impact everyone."

To that finish, Thursday's episode followed Christy as she, likewise, made the decision to move out from under Bonnie's roof — only to observe that her friends' and family's various abodes didn't fit her whatsoever better. In the terminal scene, Anna Faris' alter-ego wound upward back on the living room couch, in the arms of her mother (who unbeknownst to her, had been futilely pursuing her via wheel) and pondering the power of second (and tertiary and 4th) chances.

TVLine pressed Lorre for details on the determination to have Farris and co-star Allison Janney simply interact at the start and end of the installment, the show'southward evolution into a strong female ensemble piece, and the ideas he and the show's writing team set in motion for Flavor 3.

TVLINE | Information technology feels like y'all were planting seeds of Roscoe's discontent all flavour — from the minute he moved into the closet-sized sleeping room. How far back did you make the decision to take him move in with his dad?
We planned that out a few episodes in advance — that all the volatility in the household would accept a price in the finale.

TVLINE | The last few episodes of the season, we saw Christy angrier than she's been at any point in the serial. Was that e'er the direction you wanted to become after you lot decided Bonnie would relapse?
One of the kickoff questions we had was who Bonnie'southward sideslip would impact — and how it would really give Anna's character a chance to really feel what she's feeling about her mother. In an odd manner, it's Christy who's paying the price emotionally for Bonnie's relapse into drugs and alcohol. And that's a story that doesn't get told very often – certainly non in a sitcom. The arc was too a groovy opportunity for Anna also to portray a wide range of emotions. Take that scene at the end of final week's episode, where Christy'south in an AA meeting — and she recognizes her anger is tied to the fright she had every bit a child: If her mom's not OK, she's not OK.

TVLINE | We also had Christy's doozy of a line mid-epside: "The road to happiness leads away from your mother."
That was just acrimony. The road to happiness, actually, is the road to self-responsibilty and self-awareness. That'southward the only route I'm aware of. Christy just wasn't able to cope with the thought of losing her son.

TVLINE | The finale structure was interesting: Christy bouncing from home to dwelling, Bonnie chasing after her v ia bicycle. How did yous land on that?
We wanted Anna'due south graphic symbol to be on a journey — one that led back to home. Somewhere along the line, we realized there were two stories happening: One nearly running away, the other about Bonnie chasing, trying to make apology, trying to get in right. And the way to do that was to chase later on her and not succeed. But then nosotros had the great opportunity to write that scene for them at the end of the episode, on the couch — where Bonnie still didn't admit she was chasing. We kept her graphic symbol in tact. [Laughs]

TVLINE | 2 years into her sobriety, life is however not easy for Christy. That line where she says she has tried to exist a proficient mom and it's not enough, that was heartbreaking. With such a blow to her conviction, where practice you lot run across her going in Flavour iii?
Let's not overlook the fact that in ii years of sobriety, she's moved up to being manager of the restaurant and she's gone back to higher. And she'southward not counting on a romantic relationship to save her; she'southward counting on herself. That's enormous growth — she may not know this, but I hope viewers practice. There is a "two-steps-forward, one-step-back" element to her story, but that's only life. When you think you've got everything figured out on the left-mitt side, the right-hand side starts to act upward. Sobriety does not equal a perfect life. It gives you a chance at participating in your life.

TVLINE | It's pretty unusual to have whatever Television evidence with an bonny, female person lead graphic symbol get an entire season without any serious dive into her romantic entanglements.
That was really by design. I really wanted this year to be about these women and their personal journeys. What you commonly exercise in these kinds of shows is to race into [romantic] relationships and find the comedy there. But these women are discovering themselves — and that seems to be plenty. It's certainly refreshing and challenging to write almost. We're very proud of that. There's nothing incorrect with [romance], and we're not running away from it, simply these characters are on different journeys at this point in their lives.

TVLINE | And Mom has definitely evolved into this powerhouse female person ensemble… Mimi Kennedy as Marjorie…
Our Obi-Wan Kenobi! [Laughs]

TVLINE | And and so Jaime Pressly and Octavia Spencer… When yous created the pilot, did you always imagine the prove growing into what it is now?
All we could see at the beginning were Anna and Allison. It slowly developed — and thankfully we were able to stay on the air long enough — to endeavour to brand these other women more dimensional. It'due south an incredible ensemble correct now. You lookout these scenes with Jaime and Octavia and Mimi — in addition to Anna and Allison — it's pretty amazing.

TVLINE | Violet'southward relationship with her professor (David Krumholtz) did not exactly stop on a positive annotation — equally he wound up sleeping on the couch after wanting to smoke a joint during Christy's visit. Will their human relationship continue in Season 3?
[Laughs] How great is that man? He's hilarious — such a smart and crafty role player. I'm hoping we can continue that relationship. [Gregory] is actually a skilful influence for Violet — it'southward a strange relationship, but sometimes those work.

TVLINE | What parts of the Flavor 2 finale are tip-offs for what to conceptualize when y'all return next fall?
The hope for the series is the unconditional beloved this mother and daughter have for 1 another — how it allows them to stumble frontward. Their lives change and grow. It's clumsy. Only there'southward strength in numbers, in community, in family. I believe that strongly. These other women become extended family, and they hold one another up.
