Ep 1. Dawn of the Terrible Twos

The show Outdaughtered follows the Busby family, who have quintuplet daughters along with an older daughter, as they navigate through their daily lives. In season 3, episode 1, titled "Dawn of the Terrible Twos," the quints turn two years old and as with any two-year-old, they are discovering their independence and causing chaos wherever they go.

The episode starts off with a montage of clips from the previous season, showing the Busbys celebrating the quints' first birthday and watching them hit all the developmental milestones for their age. However, as the quints enter the "terrible twos," their newfound independence and determination make things more challenging for the Busby parents, Adam and Danielle.

The first major event in the episode is Hazel's eye surgery. Hazel was born with a condition called nystagmus which causes her eyes to move rapidly, making it difficult for her to focus. The surgery aims to correct her vision and the Busbys are hopeful that it will be successful. However, it is a difficult time for the family as they must leave their other four daughters at home with grandparents while they focus on Hazel's medical needs. The stress takes a toll on both Adam and Danielle, who admit they feel guilty leaving the other girls behind.

After the surgery, the family returns home and the quints are back to their usual antics. As Danielle jokingly puts it, "They're like a pack of wolves." The girls are shown running around the house, climbing on furniture, and generally causing chaos. While the Busbys try to instill discipline and rules, it seems that the girls are quickly taking advantage of their newfound freedom.

It's not just the physical chaos that's a challenge for the Busbys either. The girls are also learning how to express their emotions and frustrations, which can sometimes come out as tantrums. Danielle struggles to manage the girls' emotions and navigate through the "terrible twos" stage, which is causing tension between her and Adam. The episode shows them working through their communication issues and learning how to support each other as they navigate this new phase with the girls.

Another major event in the episode is a photoshoot for the girls' second birthday. The Busbys have a professional photographer come to their home to take pictures of the girls, which proves to be a difficult task. The quints refuse to sit still or look at the camera, and Danielle admits that she's anxious about getting the perfect shot. Despite the challenges, they manage to get some adorable pictures of the girls.

Overall, "Dawn of the Terrible Twos" is a chaotic but heartwarming episode that shows the Busby family facing the challenges of parenting five two-year-olds. While the girls' newfound independence and emotions are challenging, Adam and Danielle are committed to doing their best to raise happy and healthy children. The episode ends with a celebration of the girls' second birthday, with family and friends coming together to mark the milestone.
