As fun as it was watching a pregnant Jenelle Evans argue with boyfriend/grumpy furniture mover David Eason for the entirety of last week’s Teen Mom 2 episode, we have much needed reprieve tonight. Instead, all of the drama in tonight’s episode revolves around the aftermath of Briana DeJesus finding out that her baby daddy, Luis has been cheating on her for quite some time.
After a three hour long conversation with the girl Luis has been cheating with, Briana now has to sit down and tell her mom and sister what’s been going on. When she starts to talk to them, they jump to the random conclusion that she is now having twins and maybe that would be the better scenario instead of this. Either way, Briana explains that Luis has been cheating and mom Roxanne breaks down, saying she thought he would be different and would be stepping up to help with this baby but he’s just another loser who won’t be around. Roxanne doesn’t have the ability to support Briana like she did with Nova and she didn’t think she would have to.
Luis comes over to talk to Briana and Roxanne and Brittany take Nova out of the apartment so Briana can confront him privately. He tries his best to make excuses for himself – he was stupid and childish but of course, he still wants to stay together and move forward with their plans to move in together. Luis has no idea what’s coming and neither did I. Maybe because Briana looks so calm on the surface but inside, she’s made her decision. Any plans they had were ruined because of Luis’ actions and she no longer wants to be with him. Not only does she not want to be with him but she doesn’t want to have to co-parent with him in a toxic environment where she can’t trust him. She asks what he thinks about adoption and Luis might be a liar and a cheater but he’s not about to give his child up for adoption. Briana reminds him of how selfish he’s being and can’t trust that he will stick around like he says he will. She doesn’t want to go down the same road she did when she had Nova.
Briana is giving Luis time to think about the whole adoption thing but Roxanne and Brittany need their chance to give him a piece of their mind. Brittany keeps a level tone but goes off on him, saying how mad she is and how much she doesn’t like him. She also lets him know that she’s keeping herself in check because Nova is there and she’s so mad, Nova being there is saving his life right now. God, I love me some Brittany. She gets so overwhelmed, she politely excuses herself, because the man that cheated on your sister still deserves manners. Brittany is only gone for a minute before she comes back to give it to him again and what else can he do but take it. May you all have a Brittany in your life if you ever get cheated on. For her part, Briana is so overwhelmed, she goes outside to cry and a producer comes to comfort her. You can tell she sees the future repeating itself and this isn’t something she can handle right now.
Jenelle narrowly avoided spending the night in a hotel because David managed to get the keys to their new rental place, which is fully furnished so they can immediately settle in for the night. Jenelle whines to David about how she felt like he didn’t care about her and was just trying to get rid of her. Well, moving furniture is no place for a baby or a pregnant woman, he says. As in, “yes, I was trying to get rid of you”. They make up anyway and the next day, Jenelle is already onto someone else to get mad at. This time it’s Nathan Griffith, who has been arrested again and being an all-around loser, as usual. Jenelle explains to David (who wears his sunglasses inside the whole time) that Nathan isn’t creating a safe environment for Kaiser so back to mediation they go.
At the mediation hearing, Nathan agrees to everything Jenelle asks for and tells the producer outside that Jenelle is a brat. One thing he’s not giving up is joint custody, even if he has to hold onto it with his teeth. Huh? I can never understand this kid when he tries to string words together. The producer wants to know why he sent Jenelle all those crazy text messages about signing over custody and he blames hitting a rocking patch with drinking, being an adult, and making mistakes. He goes on and on in some kind of random monologue that also made no sense and I had to tune out for.
In David’s car, Jenelle celebrates her victory by bitching some more and giving us all the details of Nathan’s horrible behavior in the mediation room. David, who hasn’t taken off his sunglasses in days, says the only thing Nathan is upset about is his pride.
Chelsea DeBoer and husband Cole are bringing baby Watson home from the hospital and he is beyond adorable! Chelsea gives us her birth story and it’s almost as short as her delivery – her water broke at 1:28 am, she pushed three times and Watson was born at 2:47 am. Sounds like baby Watson was just couldn’t wait to meet his parents and make his TV debut. Chelsea and Cole are trying to navigate the ins and outs of caring from a newborn, from worrying about rashes to getting no sleep. But when Chelsea asks Cole if it’s harder than he thought, Cole sweetly responds that it’s all worth it. Awwwww. But navigating a newborn on no sleep with a seven year old is its own challenge and while Aubree is adjusting well, she doesn’t take so well to Cole going out with some coworkers for the night. When Cole tells her she can’t come, she goes into full on melt down mode and Chelsea has to threaten taking away her iPad. Cole doesn’t help matters by laughing and Chelsea gets annoyed with him for making things worse.
Not too much is going on with Leah Messer outside of starting college and getting a fabulous new look for her hair. Poor Addie is missing her dad and telling Leah about it, causing Leah more worry about Jeremy Calvert’s involvement in her life. When Jeremy is scheduled to pick Addie up, he’s 30 minutes late and Addie has fallen asleep and is groggy during the transfer but she wakes right up in his car and requests to go to her favorite place – Walmart.
Javi Marroquin comes over to Kailyn Lowry’s house to see the boys and get sh*t on by Kail. He tries to hug her hello and she snaps at him not to be fake. They immediately start arguing because Javi went into her fridge and is acting way too comfortable in Kail’s house for her own liking. Javi tries to change the subject to possibly being deployed and doesn’t get very far before Kail is pissed again – this time because he told the boys it might happen and she doesn’t see the point in them getting all upset when it’s not for sure. Fair enough and Javi agrees, then apologizes. But Kail is so set on beating him down, she can’t even acknowledge he’s saying she’s right and continues to berate him, then abruptly ends the conversation to look at her phone. When Javi asks to continue talking, Kail says no, she’s done.
I guess Kail has reason to be grumpy because she admits to her friend she is no longer with the guy she was dating on and off. Luckily, she didn’t integrate him too much into her life with her kids or on social media. She claims she didn’t expect much and it’s not like she was going to marry the guy, so she’s doing ok and doesn’t need to be in a relationship right now.
Later, she drops Lincoln and Isaac off at Javi’s house for the night so she can study and get some rest. She makes the mistake of calling her friend to complain about how overwhelmed she feels and her friend responds with a “you’re so pregnant”. Through gritted teeth, Kail informs her that she’s filming. So it looks like the cat was out of the bag a little sooner than she planned and Kail just has one more excuse for her grumpiness: hormones.
TELL US – SHOCKED THAT JENELLE IS STILL BATTLING WITH NATHAN? IS KAILYN TOO NASTY TO JAVI?
