I feel like I have missed another episode of this show. At least last night they put up a late night rerun so I can get caught up.
Briana
We start with Briana looking quite unwell. He sister Brittany has decided to get her snack on with a bag of gummy bears rather than lift a finger to help her very pregnant sister feel better, so Briana has called Luis to come over and take care of her. Luis is polite to everyone when he arrives, Brittany is stretched out on the couch while Briana is sitting on the floor. Luis is given the task of putting the new baby seat in the back of the car. I have never seen these scenes go well. Based on my observations the installation of a baby seat is beyond the capabilities of mortal men and requires lots of supervision and screaming by a mother who has already done the task. I feel sorry for Luis. I was correct. He eventually calls Briana down to tell him how to do it. I don’t understand why the female supervisors in these scenes don’t just do it themselves.
As it turns out, Luis is going to be in town when the baby is born. Briana asks him if he will stay with her and the baby for the first week. He says he would like that. Briana says she doesn’t want to be alone. Doesn’t she live with her mother and sister? Why don’t these two just try to make a go of it together? Luis really seems to be trying.
Luis took Brianna to her doctor’s appointment and she seems to be feeling better. She is being induced in a couple of days. Luis asks Brianna if she thinks they can ever work things out. Luis says he wants to be a family. She says she will see how things go once the baby arrives.
The baby was supposed to be induced on Monday bur on Saturday, she started having contractions. Luis met her family in the parking lot and as they were heading inside her water broke. During labor Brittany finally did something useful and videod the birth on her phone. Nova was in the room! Jesus. Stella came out with a full head of hair. Luis wiped away tears.
Kailyn
Kailyn is already thinking of going to graduate school because there are not many jobs for people with a four year communications degree. She’s thinking of majoring in business. It seems to be dawning on her that she is not getting her own talk show fresh out of college. She’s also realizing that Chris, baby daddy number three, is probably not going to stick around. She’s really an idiot for divorcing Javi. He was the best thing that ever happened to her.
In true Kail fashion, she sets up a photography session a week before graduation to get photos in her cap and gown. Later, Kail and Javi take the boys out for pizza. Javi is very supportive of Kail and proud of her academic accomplishment. Javi asks if he is invited. Kail says it is open to the public. They manage not to argue too much.
At graduation rehearsal, another single mom of four who is graduating tells Kailyn her story and congratulates her mother to mother on her accomplishment.
Jenelle
It seems the second she was able to take Jace on vacation, she and David took him to St. Thomas parking her other two offspring with their grandmothers. David’s daughter is also on the trip. Amazingly, everyone lived and Jace was returned to back Barbara in one piece.
It is Kaiser’s third birthday and Barbara is going to bring Jace to the party. Meanwhile, Jenelle and David talk about what great parents they are as Jenelle bottle feeds her infant that was born with pot in her system. Oh, I forgot to mention that Jenelle and David got married on Saturday outside on their new property. Jenelle and David fought like cats and dogs before hand. David was pissed that he does all the work for everything while Jenelle just sits around. Jenelle was pissed at David for selling the exclusive of their wedding to some site without telling her. They called off the wedding the day before and then stupidly went through with it anyway. We will be seeing that next season.
Of course Jenelle rented out a space for the birthday party. The cake had five candles. It was just Jenelle, David, Barbara and the kids. Barbara suggests that since they are getting along better they should all rent a cabin in the woods. Barbara has clearly never watched any movies about cabins in the woods. Jenelle says she will have to talk to David about it. Barbara says she thought they were getting along better. Jenelle says that really she is just being civil and only talking to her about Jace. Barbara seems hurt that Jenelle and David don’t want to spend a weekend with her and the kids. Let sleeping dogs lie, Barb. Then Jenelle tells Barb just because she’s not being a bitch does mean she still doesn’t like Barb. Jenelle is such a bitch to Barbara.
Later Jenelle trashes her mother to the production crew. They were the only other people at “the party.” Jenelle is of course the victim. She says she is not inviting her to the wedding and thinks that will punish her. I doubt Barbara would want to go to that farce of a wedding.
Chelsea
Chelsea and her brood are going to Florida to see Winter, the dolphin. Apparently Aubree is obsessed with the dolphin.
Some of Chelsea’s relatives are in Florida for the trip to the aquarium as well. It looks like a great little trip. I love the otters. When I lived in Athens there was a neat little, tiny zoo right by my house and I loved going there to watch the otters. The tour guide’s voice is horrible. The pelican was super cool. I would love this place. Aubree got to see the dolphins.
Leah
Normally I am not a fan of “life coaches,” but in Leah’s case it seems like a great idea. Leah has decided that she wants to be a motivational speaker when she grows up. I no longer think this life coach thing is a good idea. Leah isn’t even coherent in her conversation with her friend. There is nothing about Leah that says “motivational speaker.”
Leah’s speech is all over the place. She is nervous and says “I don’t know” and “be confident” a lot. She is clearly not confident. It looks like she cried. Leah and her partner argue a bit when the speaking engagement is over. Leah seems to blame the fact that she is not a public speaker on the lip stick business that she never really wanted to do in the first place. Leah needs to get a normal job, perhaps in retail sales.
What did you think of this episode? Am I the only one rooting for Luis?
Hate them all. Lol.
Luis doesn’t stand a chance. The mom, sister, Brianna family, hate men.
I am truly scared for Janelle – read Gerald’s Game…I hope to be wrong but “the land” is tucking terrifying, and that pool gives me nightmares. One fight or crazy sex game gone wrong or too far and….yikes.
I like Luis too! He does seem to be stepping up, Brianna isn’t even giving him a chance. It sounds like she got preggers without really knowing him, they weren’t in a super long term relationship so the cheating thing kind of doesn’t seem like that big of a deal but now he’s there. I will never understand why people have an audience in a delivery room. Especially a child! Yikes.
I’m not familiar with that book, but I do know that cutting a girlfriend completely off from their family and isolating her in the woods is never a plot line that works out well.
Glad I am not alone in thinking Nova didn’t need to be in the delivery room. If they really wanted her there, an adult should have been sitting next to her the whole time explaining in kid terms what was going on and not letting her go buck wild in the delivery room.
Do they normally do births in hospital rooms? I feel like the last ones I went to were done in an operating room. Then again, now that I think about it they were cesarean births.
I don’t know where you’d typically give birth since that’s a life experience I’m happily skipping but when my sister had her 2 kids my parents and I waited in the waiting room….no one involved wanted anyone other than her husband, dula, and doctors anywhere near that situation! Have the baby, clean it and yourself up a bit, then have people in the room to say hi and quickly leave. Unless you made the kid, or are medically involved, stay out!
And gerald’s Game is actually becoming a Netflix thing, it’s an old Stephen king book about a dysfunctional couple alone in the woods, and shit goes bad very quickly. Complete isolation? Yikes. I want my neighbors hearing me scream if there’s something I’m screaming about.
Yeah…Gerald’s Game…Actually, that would be perfect Karma for Jenelle. You know how many pets are missing/dead because of that girl?
I also think it was terribly innapproproate to have nova in the delivery room. That’s a lot of blood and screaming and pain for a little girl to have to watch her mother go through. It would have been terrifying for me to watch my mother give birth to my baby brother. Especially at novas age where she sees and can remember everything but isn’t old enough to really understand it all or know that mom isn’t dying from all the blood and pain. Scary.
Vaginal births are normally done in a hospital room, in a hospital bed, in the maternity ward. Sometimes mother and baby will be transferred to a recovery room for the rest of their stay with an en suite bathroom, television, etc if the actual birthing room doesn’t have these things already.
Maybe witnessing the baby’s birth will turn Nova off from getting pregnant for a veerrrryyyy long time. 20 years later and I cant ever unsee that birthing video i watched in HS human biology class. So therefore in no rush to have a little one myself.
Adorable kids. Ticky, tickey.
Luis would stand a chance if Briana would move out of tgat man hating house
Didn’t Luis cheat?
I wouldn’t give a man that cheated a second chance.
With those women, I will tell you, no man will ever be accepted.
The mom actually had Brianna and let Brittany think Brianna’s dad was Brittany’s. Told her during family therapy on vh1.(Brianna had no idea) first thing Brittany asked was “that picture in our living room, is that him?) The girls were devastated, betrayed, and Brittany always felt unwelcome and hated Brianna. Feeling she was treated differently, as if perfect.. Brittany had her father’s family actually seeing around town (he was murdered I believe)but not allowed to talk to her to protect the mother’s secret.(It was awful for them as well, just all due to the mother being a bitch)THAT’S WHY I HATE THIS SITUATION AND MOTHER AND RAISING THINKING SHE KNOWS WHAT EVERYONE SHOULD DO. MAKES ME CRAZY!!
Wow! Thanks for the back story. I get a icky feeling from that Mother every time she is on….this is awful but makes sense now. What a horrible mother!
Pure evil. All the mom could say was “sorry”. Selfish witch. It was so bad, Brittany couldn’t breathe, Brianna and Brittany were beyond devastated.
That’s why I’m leery of suddenly poor mom seems sickly. Hmm. Ugh. Good to get out, lol.
If they were together a month? Is that cheating? Not enough time to wrap up prior hooks ups, lol.
Have to have time to let friends with benefits know it is over.
Yep I’m def hoping Brianna and Luis move far away with the kids and have a proper go of it – I feel like Brianna wants to but she’s too worried about the flack she’ll cop from mum and sis.
They are bitter and twisted when it comes to men – Luis has the patience of a saint! I don’t think many men (or anyone for that fact) would be happy to stick around and constantly be told they’re going to fail.
Did you know otters can be really mean and attack people? Stella is a beautiful baby. Hilarious recap! Love it.
Find it odd, Aubree is mean to animals, then we have two episodes about Aubree and her special interactions with animals.
Papa Chelsea’s dad I’m sure organized. He makes sure that she is perceived in a good light. But that is old news.
It seems that baby Stella has a lot of health problems including holes in her tiny little heart. And according to Briana, Luis ghosted after the baby was born.
Oh no. I’m begging it not be played out on Teen Mom. Ali is just about as much as anyone needs to suffer along with while watching.
Another baby suffering, I don’t think I can watch, and have it a show.
Maybe a hour special to update, but then, please reality shows are bringing too many sick babies into. (Little women, a lot of major surgeries,an actual death, just way, way too sad)
Reality shows are even pushing with all the adult surgeries every single week, on every single show, up to two or three a show. Just yucky!! Cringeworthy.
Luis had a steady long-term girlfriend from what I gather. Brianna was a short-term hookup. How sad for all involved, especially the kids. So Brianna and Brittany have different fathers. That Mom is a pip.
Boy I hate Jenelle. Babs sacrifice kept Jace in the family you stupid twat, otherwise he’d be in foster homes and you’d would eventually have lost all parental rights. Jace isn’t a piece of property that can be transferred over when you feel like it. I still think she wants him around to babysit and to look like she has her act together as a perfect mom.
Did anyone watch the special tonight on Nathan? I really liked his mom Doris. She adores Donut.
Florida scenes were cute. Aubree wasn’t mistreating animals, she just needed to be taught how to handle them. I like watching their life.
Kail could of at least given Javi a thank you for supporting her through college by taking care of kids so she could study. What a wench. Bet she’s on her own with this new unnamed baby.
Leah, second-hand embarrassment.
