I have fallen terribly behind in my Teen Mom 2 recaps! I have three to plunge through and another episode is coming any day now. I’m going to try to do a down and dirty catch up with just the essential parts.
Leah Messer
Jeremy Calver is back from an eight-month out-of-town job. Yet, he still is not showing up to be with his daughter, Instead, Leah’s new man is helping get three girls to the dentist. Corey Simms came to the dentist with the girls as well.
Later, Jeremy picks up Addie for the weekend. Leah asked him to take her every weekend when he is home. He seemed happy to do that and offered to take her during the week too. Jeremy recently ranted on social media about Teen Mom 2 making him look like a crappy dad. A lot of the dads on this show feel that way. I think they can be unfair at times to Jeremy and Corey in particular.
Leah talks about the girls grades with her new boyfriend Jason during a dinner date. I like that he seems involved with the girls. Leah doesn’t allow the girls to get any Cs. She wants to make sure the girls grow up valuing education because she didn’t. The report card comes and they got all As and Bs.
Jenelle Evans
At the beginning of the second episode, Jenelle showed up with painful sinuses. Production sent her home to rest before her doctor’s appointment. Later that day, Jenelle had emergency surgery on her sinuses. There was a lot of speculation about whether is was really her sinuses that were the problem online. She reported that she was just fine.Especially since this was right after the 911 call.
After Jenelle’s, surgery. she is back to filming. Barbara is getting ready to go meet Andrew to see if he seems suitable for visitation with Jace. Andrew sent her a weird text late at night that just said, “Hi, mam!” So, Barbara expects the same old irresponsible Andrew when she gets there. Jenelle says Jace is starting to notice that Kaiser has a lot more family. This makes no sense. I think she is making this up. Jace has a dad and a grandma. She tells a long fabricated story about Jace.
Later, Jenelle has all four kids in the car and is taking them to film “something fun.” She is texting with both hands while driving them. She has no hand on the wheel AT ALL. I am having a panic attack just watching this. They all arrive safely at a trampoline park full of germy styrofoam.
Andrew hasn’t seen Jace since he was a baby and that was on Facetime. He does a scene with his friend and he seems to have the emotional maturity of 13-year-old.
Chelsea Houska
Chelsea and Cole are getting their little family settled into their new home. The big news is that Adam Lind has relinquished her parental rights to Paisley. This gives Cole DeBoer better chance of being able to adopt her eventually. When Chelsea talked to Aubree about the situation off camera she was upset and confused. She wanted to know if Paisley was still her sister.
When Chelsea asked if she wanted to do the same, and have Cole adopt her, she asked if Adam would still be her dad. When she found out he would not, she said no. So the adoption issue is shelved for now.
You Are NOT The Father!
Aubree was supposed to have lunch with Adam at school but he didn’t show up. Later, Aubree visited with her other grandparents. Apparently, Adam’s mom said he probably overslept and that is why he missed lunch. The other news is he isn’t working. Which really isn’t news.
It’s Halloween and Chelsea and Aubree are planning to go to a Momster Mash. It’s a mother daughter event. Chelsea trying to do one on one things with her since the babies take up so much time. She is having trouble meeting the emotional needs of four other people in the house. She is nervous that she is leaving Cole with the kids. I think she has a sitter coming to help out. I love that Aubree is going as Jo Jo with the bow bow from Dance Moms. She’s an icon for the elementary school set! LOL. Both kids start screaming when she leaves. You can’t let them smell fear, Cole! I didn’t see anyone else there to help him. Everyone survived.
Kail Lowry
Kail Lowry is pissed that Jo Rivera is filing for child support from Kail. She wants $1,000 a month. So much for the good parenting. Kail has enacted a scorched earth policy when it comes to Jo now. Because, Kail. I feel like they could work this out if she wasn’t such a hot head. She’s makes a lot more than Jo so even with 50/50 custody, it makes since he should be getting a reasonable child support. Kail’s own attorney says Jo qualifies for $2,300 a month in child support. Yet, she is still a greedy bitch.
Jo’s wife needs to stay out of the entire child support situation. For some reason, she took it upon herself to text Kail about it. Obviously, Kail ignored her. But the new wife tells Kail she was against Jo filing for child support. She also tells her that he did it because he never took him off child support when she said she would. This pissed off Kail more than ever. Her friend tried to explain she has to communicate with Jo so they can co-parent. Kail says that is not going to happen.
I’m The Mom, Here!
Kail is furious with Javi that his new baby mama is listed as the other point of contact for Lincoln on the soccer team’s email chain. Javi says it’s because she travels on the weekends when he plays. For some reason I will never understand, Kail travel to NYC to do her podcast. Can’t you do a podcast from your kitchen table? Didn’t Stassi do hers from bars? I have no idea how they work. But I just assume since everyone and their mother does a podcast that you don’t need to go to a professional studio. Can someone explain this to me?
Then, Javi has to miss a soccer game over a town meeting about his gym. Kail wants to be petty about it. She tells her friend she won’t be switching days with him if he has an important event when she has Lincoln. Kail and her friend talk about how immature Javi is. Pot kettle.
Briana DeJesus
After a long hospital stay, Stella is finally able to come home from the hospital. Briana is so glad for finally be back home with both girls, Stella’s dad, Luis, barely even acknowledged she was in the hospital.
Briana is taking Luis Hernandez to court for child support, even though he has no job. For some reason, this requires her to fly to NYC to have a face to face with him. That just so happens to be where future baby daddy number three lives. He picked her up from the airport.
Briana talked to baby daddy #2, Luis. There was no need to fly to NYC and leave your kids at home for this conversation. Luis says he will do better to be more involved with his child. Then she ran back to future baby daddy number three. The real reason she is there.
I’m The Dad Here!
Later, back in Florida, Briana films a scene with Devoin where they take the kids out for pizza. Devoin wins the race for most improved dad. I liked him when Nova was first-born. Briana’s mother was such a little bitch to him. I felt like he was trying here and there, and rather than encourage more of that behavior, she terrorized him over the times he screwed up. How much of these happy family scenes are all for the cameras? I doubt it was Briana’s idea to invite Devoin to Puerto Rico for “Nova’s birthday trip.”
Wait, Briana isn’t taking the youngest daughter to Puerto Rico? It’s just Briana, Devoin and Stella? That seems weird to me. Maybe it is best for the young one with the medical condition to stay home though? I don’t know. Oh. Nevermind. They are just taking Nova to get her tooth pulled. Devoin met them at the dentist. Briana is now willing to change Nova’s last name to match her father. How noble of her.
It’s really hard to find time to recap this show. But I’ll do catch ups when I can! Thanks for reading!
I’m not a doctor, I’m a speculator… and I think “emergency sinus surgery” was code for a nasal fracture.
Kailyn deserves to be sued for backchild support. She left Jo hanging knowing damn well that she didn’t need his income with 50/50 and just “never got around” to filing to amend, as agreed. If it was the other way around, she’d demand support. She’s since tweeted that she repaid him to the support she was overpaid and it’s settled. The Javi thing? That was RIDICULOUS. I do not like Kailyn much, but even I can agree that putting Javi & Lauren on the emergency contact list is fuuuucked up. Lauren is no one to Lincoln. That’s his dads most recent girlfriend. Personally, I’d call the coach or mom in charge or whomever and tell them to remove That Woman from the list and add me immediately then I’d warn Javi that kailyn really likes lawyers, if he hasn’t noticed. Tow that line, boy.
Paisley is Adam’s daughter with another woman. She is not related to Cold or Chelsea but is Aubree’s half sister.
Right on about the lack of maturity of Jace’s bio dad. What a tool he appears to be! And his sidekick. Previews appear to show that he ditched meeting up with Barbara, but we will see.
I think Brian’s is just trying to be like Chelsea with the name change, but it seems a bit contrived to me. I don’t think Nova was thinking about the issue.
Good update of a bunch of hours of footage!
As for Briana, she seems to never stay home, always flying here and there.
Not sure why you felt the need to draw Paisley’s family tree for us. Odd comment.
The poster wrote that to clarify because you mistakenly wrote that Adam gave up his rights to Paislee–now it makes it easier for Cole to adopt her. Cole would be adopting Aubree–not Paislee. She was just clarifying your incorrect sentence. Im sure thats what you meant to say but it sounded like Cole would be adopting Paislee.
Are you two the same person? Because neither one of you can read is seems.
“The big news is that Adam Lind has relinquished her parental rights to Paisley. This gives Cole DeBoer better chance of being able to adopt her eventually.”
The only problem with these sentences is that is should be HIS parental rights not HER parental rights.
Clearly neither one of you have READ THE COMMENTING RULES.
Wow. really?????
Kail is extremely difficult to get along with. She admits her attitude and behavior with Joe and Javi upset and confuse her children but she refuses to change. Is it her ego, would she rather be right than happy or is she jealous that Joe has maintained a relationship while she can’t even maintain a friendship with her exes/baby daddies. She also claims that the viewers don’t see how the guys act when the cameras aren’t there and that’s one of the reason she reacts the way she does. Maybe it’s just me but I think the entire cast probably acts differently when the cameras aren’t filming. I do have to give her credit. She is a good mom and her kids are well behaved and super sweet. She works her butt off. She has an college education and if I remember correctly has worked consistently. I would like to see her happy.
Kail would rather be a right fighter than consider her children’s best interest. Period. End of story. This will not end well for her.
Can’t believe I still watch this show! When it first came on, my daughter was about 13 and I thought it would be good for her to watch(as a deterrant!). She didn’t last a full season, and here I still watch! My tv viewing standards really aren’t the highest!
I think Chelsea and Cole are impressive. You know personally, their lives would be so much easier if Adam was out of the picture, but are trying to keep Aubrey’s feelings first-whether right or wrong(personally I think in the long run Aubrey would be better off). They’re a sweet little family.
Leah’s taste in men or just the desperation to have one is a little sad. But as a mom she’s come such a long way
Kail bothers the hell out of me, but she does have sweet kids. As a co parent, she must be hell to deal with. Even when she’s right, it’s hard to be on her side. She’s one of the least reasonable people on tv!
Janelle-it’s just weird this Andrew character showing up…now. And acting like everyone’s tried to keep jace away from him. Hope he doesn’t get added into the daddy party mix-for Jace’s sake. That poor kid’s got enough on his plate!
Brianna-it seems like her life has changed the least since her “16 and Pregnant” of all the moms. Still living with mom and sister-just added Stella! Beautiful children tho
I am also watching this show this many years later too 🙇🏽♀️🙇🏽♀️🙇🏽♀️
And I love it ❤️❤️❤️
The only emergency sinus surgery they perform if when your nose is broken.
I don’t care much for Kailyn but I totally see her point with the contact info for the soccer team. Both need to grow up. Stop avoiding saying hello to Lauren because shes Javi’s gf and he can stop trying to purposely irritate her by completely excluding her from the contact info. Would have been totally acceptable to have all 3 on it but not exclude Kailyn, that was just wrong.
I love love love Chelsea’s family life 🙂 I wish I had her luck with finding a great man who is a great loving dad for her children. She is doing a great job being very sensitive and NOT pushing Aubree about Adam and the adoption thing.
Thanks for recapping both TT, your site makes my day 🙂 🙂
As a long time sufferer of nasal/ear/etc. issues, including surgeries, I can tell you they don’t do emergency surgery for clogged sinuses. Again, where is MTV’s responsibility in taking no action when so many of the moms text and drive with kids in the car. They act like they are filming a true documentary and therefore won’t interfere, yet consistently break the 4th wall. They do PSA’s all the time when addiction or abuse is involved in the episodes so they could at least mention it. Leah is my favorite, I just wish she’d quit saying the “girlses”. Like the others, I can’t believe I watch this show either since I hate most of the girls!
If you click on the link, I think that post discusses the surgery that she had.
Edited to add of course there were the usual people who all had that surgery too.
That is sort of a trend around here. I had that illneess/surgery/kid with perfect ACT scores…you name it we’ve all done it. So… make of that what you will. 🙂
I could post about eating dinosaur dick in Uganda and there would be at least six people here who have been there, done that.
#faints after LOL
Let me guess. You fainted because you too have eaten dinosaur dick in Uganda. Le sigh.
Still a happy reader of your superbly written recaps. Still watching this show. Speaking of JoJo with the bono, I wonder how Dance Moms Abby Lee Miller is doing? I miss her being on TV.
Hey Girl Hey! Dance Moms is coming back with Abby teaching in a wheelchair, I saw the PR recently but forgot the date. It’s soon though.
Great!!! I will be watching for Dance Moms and already looking forward to you recaps !!
Shoot darn! I saw a ‘mercial today and was watching the girls, forgot to check date. It may actually still be set to record if it’s still the original title, my baby loved this show and watched every episode, I watched a few too. I love a comeback story!
