Shortly thereafter, the school realizes that Lucy is being raised by a mentally handicapped person, and they report it.

* DidTheyOrDidntThey: After Rita has her breakdown in Sam's apartment and both hug, we cut to the next day where both meet and act slightly embarrassed. We don't learn if it was just because of Rita's meltdown or more. In the original screenplay they did, and this was actually filmed, but it was cut due to skittish movie execs.
