"PROUD of THEM!": Fans praise Pumpkin and Josh for taking care of Alana in Mama June: Road to Redemption

Mama June: Road to Redemption Season 6 returned for an all-new episode on Friday night. Titled Sweet 16 and Mama's Not Missed, this week Alana celebrated her sweet 16 birthday party.

Over the past few weeks, Josh and Pumpkin have shown how much they really care for Alana. This week, it only became more evident as fans praised the couple for stepping in and taking care of Alana.

When Pumpkin figured out that Alana had a crush, she somehow managed to find his contact on her phone and arrange a meeting with him. Pumpkin met up with Alana's crush, Dralin, and spoke to him to understand his intentions with her little sister.

After gaining somewhat of a positive opinion of him, Pumpkin invited him over for Alana's birthday party.

Meanwhile, during their confessional, Josh shared that he would also have a watchful eye over Alana and her crush. When Dralin arrived at Pumpkin's house for Alana's party, the Mama June: Road to Redemption star was surprised. She immediately took him out for a conversation.

Seeing the two go out alone to talk, Josh's fatherly instincts immediately kicked in. Despite Pumpkin telling Josh that she had already had a talk with Dralin, he was keen to give him a piece of his mind. The Mama June: Road to Redemption star went outside and spoke to Dralin.

Josh warned Dralin, telling him that he better not hurt Alana. While Alana was a little embarrassed by Josh's speech, she was happy to have a father-figure like him in her life.

Fans who watched the episode were taken with Josh and Pumpkin's love for Alana and took to social media to praise the couple.

More details on what happened this week in Mama June: Road to Redemption

On the latest episode of Mama June: Road to Redemption, Alana celebrated her sweet 16th birthday this week. She made it very clear that she didn't want June anywhere near her because Alana was still upset with her mother.

However, even though she was uninvited, June decided to show up unannounced at Pumpkin's house. The kids were shocked to see her and June thought that if she showed up with gifts, Alana and the other kids would forgive her.

The kids, on the other hand, were still upset with their mother's behaviour. The Mama June: Road to Redemption star still didn't take responsibility for her actions, or apologize to her children for abandoning them once again.

Even when June was at Pumpkin's house, she was mostly on the phone. Pumpkin accused her of having a new boyfriend, which June denied. Though it's true that June does have a new boyfriend, she didn't want to tell her children about it just then. She claimed that she wanted to reconcile their strained relationship and said that she would tell them about it when things between them got better.

Later, seeing that the kids were still not happy with her being there, the Mama June: Road to Redemption star booked a cab and left Pumpkins house. To make sure that her mother had really left, Pumpkin sent her elder sister Jessica to have a look.
