Unfortunately, this sounds like an excuse to get Jude away from his ex and the kids. If Sienna's mom really is sick- that is terrible. If she is deathly ill, wouldn't she be in the hospital? Maybe? Maybe not? I guess it all depends whether or not Sienna asked/demanded that Jude return home to be with her and her mom OR if Jude heard that Jo Miller was sick and he's
really trying to be there for Sienna.

Doubt that!
