It would be wonderful if we had Tracy having to go into a home for the elderly, too, bringing her story full circle. But I see Tracy having a wonderful future no matter what, even if it’s only in my head. Through Tracy, I’ve done all sorts of work with the fostering network. Some kids I met said Tracy raised their status at school. Of course, because the books and shows are aimed at children, you can’t include the whole reality.

(subscription required) Later in the series Tracy learned that another couple called Terry and Jill Brown wished to foster her, but was disappointed after being pranked by Peter to see they are old. On the other hand, Peter liked the look of them. The day out didn't go well, as Tracy was too lively for Terry and Jill to cope with. However, they liked the look of Peter. Tracy overheard Jenny and Mike telling Elaine that Peter would probably be much better suited with the Browns, and was cross with Peter for ruining her chances. When Peter told Tracy that he wasn't ready to be fostered yet, she persuaded him to be bad to put the Browns off. Peter started pulling some of Tracy's antics, but even shouted, 'I'm badder than Tracy Beaker!' and it ended up going too far. However, Tracy later told the Browns that she told Peter to do what he did.
