On this episode of Teen Mom, Jace’s dad comes out of the woodwork and I have been excited to see how it all plays out but this has been a very busy week! Let’s see what happens!
I have to record the MTV shows on their second or third airing late at night and MTV is notorious for somehow getting behind schedule. So the beginning of my DVR has Lindsay’s Beach House running into the first part. I plan to recap that next as soon as time allows, but this will mean I may not have the end of this episode. 🙁
Leah
Leah seems all hot and heavy with her new boyfriend. He has a nice house and the girls seem to like it there. Ali is getting another aide. I don’t know why that school acts like they don’t have to give her one, they do. Addie is getting ready to go to kindergarten and Leah is worried about her behavior. She is a handful but with the right teacher she will be fine.
The twins are already in third grade! Leah takes them to their father’s for the first week of school. She has Addie to take to kindergarten. Is it me or do all of these girls basically have the same name. As if names were not hard enough for me already. Aleeah and Grace are not in the same class this year. Grace prefers it that way but Ali does not. That makes sense. Grace needs to have school without having to worry about her sister.
Leah is up in the pitch black of night to take Addie with her to meet the twins at the bus stop for the first day of school. I don’t understand why the elementary kids have to go in so early when they need the most sleep. It was great being done for the day before 3 pm though. Now I am NEVER done for the day. lol. She has Ali’s wheelchair for school but the bus driver refuses to take it. What is wrong with this school system!? Plus it is a special bus with a lift, not a regular bus. I don’t get it. Leah has to take it to school.
Chelsea
Chelsea and her clan are moving into their new house. Meanwhile they are waiting to see if Adam pays his no show fee for skipping out on his first supervised visitation in order to be there at the next one. I’m going to guess he does not. Aubree doesn’t think he is going to pay it either. This is a lot for Chelsea to deal with so late in her pregnancy. It’s a long drive to the visitation center all for him not to show up.
Aubree seems so well-adjusted with Cole and Chelsea’s dad in her life. In a workout scene with her grandfather, she suggests that maybe he needs to beat her deadbeat dad up. I think Adam just needs to sign over his parental rights so that Cole can adopt her. Wait, didn’t he already do that? Maybe they just talked about it. Adam did not pay the penalty fee. There will be no further visits unless he pays up.
Jenelle
Jace is with Barb talking about hopefully spending the holidays together now that she is getting along with Jenelle. Across town, a producer informs Jenelle that Andrew has contacted her about visitation with Jace. I totally forgot we ever even saw Andrew. I am not sure I watched the first season. Andrew was a model in China? Is that true or just something Andrew or Jenelle made up? He wants production to bring Barbara, Jenelle and Jace to New York because he is too busy with work to come. Jenelle doesn’t seem to completely rule the idea out. She doesn’t want to see him herself though. I predict that David will never let this happen. He even said as much after this episode. Production wants Jenelle to call Andrew and keep production out of the middle.
Jenelle and her mom meet on a park bench between their two houses to talk about Andrew since they can’t film at Jenelle’s house because of David’s psycho behavior. Apparently, Jenelle’s father would stand her up for visitation and just sort of disappeared from her life. I had forgotten that. This explains a lot about Jenelle’s issues in adulthood and it is kind of sad. She should have had therapy when she was a child. I hope that Jace is still in therapy. Barb says she doesn’t want anymore stress in Jace’s life. Jenelle doesn’t want to talk to him so Barb has to call. Barb wants to know why he is contacting them now after nine years. He says he got his life together, he graduated from USC and has a good job now in New York. He’s 32 now and more mature now. He says he doesn’t have a drinking problem anymore. Barb says she is willing to come meet with him first without Jace. Barbara says that maybe in the future she could take Jace to lunch with Andrew as a start. Jenelle acts like any of this is up to her. It’s not.
Kailyn
Kaitlyn takes Isaac and Javi’s kid over to his house with his new girlfriend. They rough house with the boys (even though she is very pregnant and teach them how to ride bikes. Isaac has to go to Joe’s later but it is great that Isaac has visitation with Javi.
Briana
After all of that time in truck driving school, and just a short time on the job, Luis has quit his job and moved to New York. It’s time for Stella’s first birthday party and Louis is invited. Briana meets with Devoin to talk about Nova. She wants him to spend more time with her. He blames work. She invites him to Stella’s birthday party. Devoin seems to be doing his best with Nova especially in comparison to Louis.
Brianna has rented out a house for Stella’s first birthday party. Sigh. This is why these reality people all go broke after their shows end. Louis is coming with explicit instructions from Brianna that he needs to be there for the entire party and help out. Louis agrees.
Apparently, Louis took a DJ gig the night before the party while he is back in town. Apparently, Briana paid for his flight down so she is extra pissed. My DVR shut off right when Louis arrived to the birthday party and it looks like it will continue to next week.
Are ya’ll still interested in these recaps?
I don’t know if I’m in the minority but yes, very interested. I was not 16 and pregnant but I was pregnant while watching their season. I was 25 and single and embarrassingly enough related to these teens. I’m invested in their stories but cannot tune in all the time. Love reading your recaps.
I enjoy your recaps TT. Especially since you also update us with the latest news from the land.
I was super impressed with the way Barb handled the Andrew situation. Her behavior has become more normal over the years.
Randy is just the best. He reminds me so much of my dad. I especially loved how he spoke to aubree about her dad. Love that family.
Thanks for your recaps!
I enjoy your recaps.
Please keep recapping. always read but don’t always comment
Yes,love the recaps.I was a teen mom and thank God with somewhat good parenting and a good daughter we beat the odds of her following in my footsteps.She is 21 now in college 3.8 gpa on the deans list about to graduate and she has been in a six year relationship.(only relationship)
Congrats to you, Mum for raising and excellent young lady!
I had my daughter when I was 20, she’s now 22, in full time employment & saving for a house. I’m beyond proud of her.
We were (are) a Team of Two & I have worked hard to raise myself and her, so rewarding.
Yes, TT, I love your TM2 recaps, thank you!
Yea please.
Yes! Interested in the recaps! Thank you, TT for doing them!!!
I care!
Yes keep the recaps coming!
Please keep the recaps. Teen Mom is one of the few shows that actually feels like a real reality show.
TM2 recaps = Yes please. I dont always watch the show but i always read your recaps
Leah= Looks the best and healthiest she has ever looked
Chelsea = She has matured into a lovely young lady and a great mother.
Janelle= ugh
Brianna=Didnt she have butt reduction surgery last season? Still looks like she’s wearing a dirty diaper
I thought she got a bigger one. I could be wrong. I so do not understand all the surgical procedures, I had one surgery to fix a medial issue and I don’t ever want to do that again.
She did I believe the fat they took out of her stomach was injected in her butt.
Yes! Please keep them coming! I’m following their lives through your recaps. I love all of your recaps 🙂
I love your Teen Mom posts mostly because we agree. 🙂
You know I HATE when that happens.
Need these recaps in my life – thank u T!!!
I don’t comment often but love your teen mom recaps since I can’t always watch the show. Thanks for tuning in for us!
Love that you recap these TT! Keep them coming please 🙂 I hate to give Briana credit but she really seems like she loves her girls and is a pretty good mother. But Louis seems like a waste of space…I’m proud of Devoin for stepping up more!
Please keep the updates coming!!
Yes to the recaps!
In the gym scene, I thought Aubree’s grandfather handled things beautifully. He could have easily gone the bashing route, but instead he did the right thing and reassured Aubree that although her father doesn’t have his shit together, he does love her.
Jenelle/Barb…they really are the same, I mean. Barb is better, but they both have toxic relationships with males. I get not wanting to expose Jace to potential revolving door heartache with Andrew, but he needs to at least be met with and intentions determined. If by some miracle he has his life together, this would be one positive person to expose Jace to.
Yes, please keep recapping this show. Thank you for all you do, TT! I don’t always get to watch this show, but always read your recaps.
I personally, since you asked, don’t care about these degenerate Teen Moms. MTV has every intention of continuing this show until the children are teen parents themselves which is shameful.
How is that for “No”?
Don’t ask if you don’t want an answer.
Thanks for letting me know Nicole. I am surprised that you knew about my question since you don’t follow the show or the recaps. We must have been mind melding.
I skim most of your recaps and I’ve watched every season of both Teen Mom franchises until the season before last and I’ve seen every episode of 16 and pregnant. Not sure why you would assume I didn’t watch. I used to watch and grew out of it as some of us do as we age.
So Andrew is 32 now and Jace is 9? Did anyone else catch that? That means he was about 22-23 while Jenelle was 16 & Pregnant!! And Barb talks about him as if she was familiar with him…
She met him when Jennelle was dating him and he was there in the hospital when Jace was born and went off to college shortly after.
So she very well knew that her teen daughter was dating a grown man. Their issues run deep!!
Yes because all mothers of teens, especially teens like Jenelle know everything they are up to. It’s totally Barbs’ fault.
wow he is lucky he is not doing time for statuory since she was 16!!
Exactly!! And in one way or another, yes , all of Janelles issues are Barb’s fault!! Or maybe you think she’s a good parent and Janelle just likes to wild out for no reason.
I literally looked at your IP to see if you were Jenelle. That’s how insane your comments are.
