Garrett & Johanna
Johanna, the idiot, goes to tell her poor dad that she is engaged to her Prison BAE. He doesn’t get it. Her dad, who appears to have some common sense. He tells her to give him some space and give it some time before she rushes to the altar. The bottom line is he doesn’t want to see her get hurt. And he totally sees that she is bringing this all on herself.
Johanna wants to invite 150 people to her wedding. Is WeTV going to hold a casting call for that? The next thing you know Johanna is “on the way to confront Garrett at work” about why he proposed. This sounds like a great way for him to get fired and her ring to get repossessed. Apparently, the restaurant approved of the filming. Garrett is starting to realize this bitch is never satisfied with anything. Garrett says he proposed because he wanted to be married to her. He doesn’t see the point of the big wedding. He says they can just elope. This makes sense because I can’t imagine 15 people wanting to come to her wedding, let alone 150.
Lamar & Andrea
Andrea goes to get a wedding dress despite the fact they have been having some major arguments. And they are living 700 miles apart because his parole requires that he stay in LA County. Lamar calls her at the dress shop to tell her he is not allowed to come to Utah. Andrea thinks Lamar may have lied about being allowed to come to Utah in the first place. And yet, she is still buying dresses or her wedding for herself and her two daughters.
Andrea tells her kids they have to get ready to go to California to meet their “step-dad.” Her youngest kid calls Lamar “poppa.” The older kids have more sense than their mother and are not thrilled to go. They point out they do not know Lamar and he is not their father. This is terrible what she is doing to her kids. Absolutely awful.
The kids hate California on sight. Andrea tells her five-year old to come meet her papa. Her twelve year old daughter refuses to get of the car, and Andrea is bribing her with cash. Nyla isn’t interested in being paid off. Tennison, the adorable 15-year-old son is on high alert to protect his family from this unknown male who has done 16 years in prison. Her mother eventually leaves her in the car. Tennison gets stuck talking Nyla out of the car. Once inside, Tennison asks Lamar what he went to prison for. He says he did some robberies. Nyla asks if he is a gang member. Andrea acts like these questions are inappropriate. Seriously? These kids need new homes. I just want to punch this woman in the face.
Lizzie & Scott
Scott’s friend stops by to check on him since he is not answering his phone after finding out Lizzie has new charges and is looking a 12 years. She’s not particularly comforting and points out that was what she was doing with all the thousands of dollars he was sending her. Scott wants to pay $14,000 to a lawyer to defend her on the new charges. The friend tries to convince him that he doesn’t owe her any loyalty. Scott says he promised Liz he would be with her no matter what, and this is “no matter what.” Jesus.
Dominic & Mary
Mary is going wedding dress shopping. I don’t think Dominic has even actually proposed. It’s one of those things where they have just talked about getting married. I really want to cut Mary’s hair. I hate when long hair doesn’t have blunt ends. Dominic is still in the halfway house and his every move must be cleared by he parole officer. He stops by with flowers and apologizes for fighting with her. Dominic is struggling to acclimate to life after prison. He just needs some time to adjust before she starts in with all the wedding drama. He does still want to get married. He just doesn’t want to deal with a huge wedding while trying to acclimate to normal society. He says they can do a small wedding if she wants. She says she is good with that, but I don’t believe her. Actually, I am not sure I believe him either.
Alla & James
James and Alla are fighting so he is going to hang out with his buddy and drink some beer. His friend tells him that he should be concerned about her using again rather than being having pregnancy issues. James gets pissed at the implication. James doesn’t listen to anyone’s advice.
James comes home to Alla ODing on the floor. He is not sure what to think. Really? She’s ODing, dude. She’s a heroin addict. This should not be surprising news for you.
What happened to Angela and Tony? They were not even shown this week.
Next week: Garrett gets in trouble for going to a strip club. James meets up with Alla after rehab, one couple gets married. It’s the season finale. Halfway through this season, the ratings were so good they are already looking for new morons for a second season. Some of these fools may even get a spinoff. That’s how crazy this show is.
This train wreck has been wildly entertaining- until the scenes with Andrea’s kids on this episode. They broke my heart and I agree with you Tamara that they need a new home. Her 15 year old son and 12 year old daughter have every right to question the dangerous nonsense forced upon them by their pathetic excuse for a mother. Why has she told her 5 year old to consider and call Lamar her daddy as he has phoned from prison?? WTF?? Andrea is stupid and selfish- I love this show but she is hard to tolerate.
This show is life! I can’t get enough of it!
I had Andrea. She is an idiot.
Mary and Dominic are already married and have been since 2016, hence being allowed a conjugal visit.
Hate** Andrea. Damn autocorrect.
Andrea is creating a possible if not probable nightmare.
Does she not have instincts or common sense that you don’t sacrifice your children for your selfishness?
Truly needs someone to intervene, quick, before possibly something occurs she didn’t have the sense to expect.
All that matters is a possibility. And there is clearly one.
These children are so much smarter than their mother. She created this mess, he’s not tearing the family apart, she is.
He’s following the rules to stay out of prison, and she’s inconvenienced.
Lamar touching her daughter’s hair would be a wrap!!
You’re so right…I knew something creeped me out about Lamar’s interaction with the kids, and it was the hair “touching.”
and then him laying all spread eagled on the bed while talking to the kids\
I was screaming at the TV when he touched her hair and then laid on the bed. I was fuming inside and I totally feel.so sorry for those incredibly smart, mature and beautiful kids.
Did he touch her hair when she was in the car? I saw him reaching in the window at him and wanted to cut it off but I didn’t see him actually touch her!!!!
That said, he seems saner than Angela.
I just watched the finale and he touched her hair again. I DO NOT like that!
Angela, it turns out, is a reality show whore. This is one of several shows she’s pursued, including dance shows for Nyla. She had an audition lined up for Nyla with Abby MIller. Don’t know what became of that.
I was NOT going to watch this stupid show, and then watched all six episodes one after the other on the WE tv app. It’s gonna be a hit for a channel that doesn’t have many.
Well, now. That is interesting information. It seems she has beaten a path to LA many times and would have no problem relocating to LA it seems.
Also, Lamar’s brother seemed to have a really nice house. Did y’all think that?Or is it just I live in such a crappy one? It’s okay to say it is just me. Mine is starting to come together a bit and I amd trying to purge it in case I decide to move.
I have such good Internet and high speed cable here though…
From what I could see…Lamar’s brother’s house was in Laurel Canyon. SUPER expensive area.
THANK YOU! I thought it was because I was poor, but I was like, why are they acting like this is a bad neighborhood, it looks fantastic to me! #ProductionBullshit
Alla spoiler alert ! Well she’s back in jail and James still talks to her
Oh and Saturday Johnna spilled some tea (she said she wasn’t going explain further until after season finale on Friday) about some girl Garrett met that used her address when she was stopped by police; police came w/warrant to Johnna’s home looking for this woman.
I love this show too bad it won’t be back until 2019 ?
Thanks for the recap, I know you weren’t too keen on it. This is a crazy show and I can’t stop watching it.
Ditto to every comment so far. I am hoping that the father(s) to Andreas children will come forward and take them away. Still haven’t heard any explanation about how she has been with Lamar for 6 years but her youngest is 5 years old. Hmmm.
Saw the clip where Johanna is crying in her wedding dress, begging to not go through this. Hopefully that elopement won’t happen.
Mary, Mary, I think I speak for all of us when I beg you to stop using a marker to put your eyebrows on. Why do you do this?
Can’t believe it’s over next week. Can’t WEtv put together a reunion show and do a lost scenes show? Bravo does it all the time with shows that we are much less interested in. Please!
I started watching this based on some comments, asking you to recap. I love it!
I can no longer watch this show on demand, not the newer ones anyway. See what you did TT? You made this show so popular that the executives have changed this. Taking everything at face value, I do find it very intriguing that the male inmates seem to be so rational to their female outsiders, where the complete opposite seems true of the reverse.
Things are blowing up in RL between Johanna and Garett. Even though they signed NDA’s, it’s become impossible to ignore on certain social media sites. No spoilers here, though. I also read they may extend the episodes by 6 more since this show has become a hit.
Oh good, I’m in for more episodes.?
IF they do something about children involved. ?
I am all for spoilers on this show! I think the next episode may have been added after the fact. Seven episodes is weird. It’s usually an even number like six or eight.
What is going on with Johanna and Garrett? He needs to run far away from her.
Johanna kicked Garret out of the house. He started hooking upnwith a bartender in a strip club. They live in a motel. His girl, Natural, was arrested and garret bailed her out giving Johannas address as Naturals. Johanna started receiving mail from attorneys wanting to represent Natural. That’s how Johanna was brought into this clusterfuck. Otherwise she would have kept her moth shut, except it happened recently and Natural is posting Instagram photos of her and Garrett. Natural is thirsty!!
Interesting, thanks.
I think Johanna did the right thing. She has enough self worth and self respect not to allow herself to be treated like shit.
I’m so disturbed by Andrea!! I can’t believe she expects her children to accept Lamar as their Dad and has the little one calling him Papa. He hasn’t done a thing for these kids – why does she expect the older ones to feel a parental connection to him. And she’s such a dumbass. She is beyond selfish – she hasn’t a clue about parole and all she cares about is herself – not her children, not even Lamar. The only person she cares about is herself. I hope a concerned parent or family member steps up. Those children do not need to be in a home with a STRANGER WHO HAS BEEN INCARCERATED FOR 16 YEARS!!!! Those children will be terrorized…guaranteed. NO ONE walks out after 16 years without certain prison behaviors.
everything regarding Andrea disturbs me. And Lamar’s body language!!! Laying down on a bed and covering your eyes when children are questioning you about your criminal past is beyond disgusting and disrespectful. Sit up straight, look at those kids in the eyes and try to earn some respect and trust. Both Lamar and Andrea deserve each other, too bad these intelligent, innocent children on are in the middle of this. Can’t even begin to comment on her 5 year old calling him papa. This woman is insane.
I cannot believe it is already the season finale next week,,,I just found out about this show thanks to TT. Wow so much disfunction going on with this bunch, it is just delicious to watch. Alla & James, wtf is he really that dumb to not see that this chic is chasing the dragon again?? You can tell in the talking heads that she is constantly on the verge of a heroin nod (she should be on intervention). Johnna and Garrett, I am not sure ab out this girl yet she seems a little possessive and jelous. It will be interesting to see how this relationship plays out, I forsee him running for the hills once she reveals all of her shades of crazy to him. Mary and Dom,,wow can we talk about this girls lips and frozen face for a second?? She looks like her lips are going to explode and her face never moves,,,it is not a good look in my opinion. She needs to take a chill pill before she runs him off with all the wedding pressure, hell he is still in the recovery house calm down already.
my apologies for the typos in the previous comment,,,I can’t type on my phone to save my luife
Lol. Hopefully it will never come down to that…typing on your phone to save your life.
1. I actually know someone who is about this life? 2. Y’all Tennison is my absolute favorite. I look for him to have his 15 minutes of fame reality spin off… (there is SOME candid truth) and yet I feel that this show is semi scripted. 3. I didn’t know this show even existed until I saw the Joel McHale show with Joel McHale on Netflix smh!!!
