The girls play license plate bingo as the road trip continues and the family makes it to Utah. Mom suggests stopping to see some dinosaur statues, and Will starts screaming with excitement, which upsets Amara. Raina complains about the heat the whole time as the word “HOT” (63) grows larger and larger above her head. The family stops at the souvenir shop and Will gets a toy truck that he screams about for the next few hours. Amara is attacked by mosquitoes and gets a back scratcher, and Raina gets a t-shirt.
In a flashback, baby Will is brought home, and suddenly Raina feels crowded again as she now has to share a room with two siblings and can’t sleep through Will’s crying at night. Amara also suffers from a lack of sleep, but unlike Raina who calmly goes to school the next day, Amara screams and refuses to go to preschool. When Dad takes the girls to the zoo, they enjoy the day together, looking at all the animals with wide grins. When Raina sees the snakes she finds them disgusting. She tells Amara about how she accidentally stepped on a dead snake while camping as a child and has hated them ever since; Amara antagonistically replies that she plans to get a snake one day.
