## When it Isn't Like it Should Be

Selena is extremely confused about the changing dynamics in her family. She has always been close to Emma, and she doesn't understand why suddenly her favorite sister is never around.

Selena is home watching Tinkerbell when Paige comes to visit her parents. She gets excited to see her, then goes back to watching her movie.[9]

 Paige and Nattie come to live with the Morgans, so they decide to build a new house. Selena suggests a playroom, an indoor and an outdoor pool with a water slide, and a slide instead of the stairs. [13]

The Morgans go to meet with Rachel and Sophia for dinner. Selena is excited to see Sophia. Everyone introduces themselves so they can start to get to know each other better. Selena says her name and that she is four, then tells everyone that she likes princesses, puppies, the park, toys, games, and chocolate, and she is special because she has two mommies and daddies and the first ones gave her away because they couldn't take care of her. [14]

Tyler and Sam meet up and she talks to him about Selena. She tells him about her crazy ideas for the new house, and that her favorite color is purple so she wants all of her decorations to be that color. Tyler tells her that Stella's favorite color is purple too. Sam tells him that if he stays on the right path and keeps working and being a good influence, then there's no reason that he shouldn't get to meet Selena.[15]

When Sam and Jason show the kids the blueprint to their new house, Selena is excited to have Emma home. She immediately goes to her and sits on her lap. [16]

Selena works on a workbook for preschool with her mom. Sam asks her to go check on Mia so that she can talk to Nattie, and Selena runs upstairs to be with her.[17]

Sam goes out of town, leaving Jason to take care of everything. Selena is having a rough morning, and she begs Emma to do her hair for her. Emma gets mad and tells her she can't, and Selena gets upset. Mia offers to fix her hair instead, which makes her feel better. [18]

Mia takes Selena to the park. Selena tells her that Emma was the one who taught her how to pump her legs on the swing, and now she never wants to play with her anymore. She also says she misses Chloe J and Nate. Mia tries to explain to her that Emma has a lot going on right now, but Selena says she doesn't understand, and Mia assures her that she will when she's older. They run into Rachel and Sophia. Selena plays with Sophia until Mia says it's time to leave.[19]

When Sam gets home with Nattie, Selena is excited to see her and runs to her, even though Katie is curling her hair.

Selena talks to Tyler about how she feels like a burden to Maddie and Connor. They go to Kelly's to get ice cream sundaes and he says that his home is always open to her.

Selena asks Maddie about what Tyler said. Maddie says she'll think about it, then she goes to Tyler and yells at him and says Selena's place is with her family. She tells Tyler that he needs to stay away from Selena unless he okays it with her first, and if he takes her without her permission, she'll have him arrested for kidnapping.
