Boy, oh boy, oh boy, it only took a week to get back around to my girls! I can't let that happen again. A girl's got to have priorities! So on to the recap from Labor Day's episode...
Mackenzie. Wonder of wonders, Josh didn't cave and isn't moving in with Mac at her parents house. But he's staying over once a week to help out. Then they have the big birth control discussion and Mackenzie's mom is really strict but they're trying to do the right thing, be safe, and not have another little country baby. Mackenzie is scared to talk to her mom and decides to tell her via text to avoid confrontation. That's a mature way to have the conversation. Mac goes to her OB-GYN to talk options and what would be best for her with her diabetes - man, I never thought about birth control effecting blood sugar? the more you know.
Cut to Josh practicing steer roping in the yard with his pal, Lane, that reminds me of the little rodeo boy I grew up with back in Canton, and who also seems to be Josh's Jiminy Cricket.
I digress. Afterher appointment, Mackenzie then has to finally go home and talk to her mom openly about why she got the IUD. Was that so hard?
Katie. Cute shot of her showing off her ring to friends, but they're not rushing until after she finishes college. Again, I contend that she has a good head on her shoulders. Katie and Joey discuss moving into a bigger apartment so baby Molli doesn't have to have her crib in the kitchen. Good call. I don't have much room to talk, I'm all about creative use of space in tiny apartments. Katie figures out a budget and they go to look at a new apartment. Wait. $930 a month? in Wyoming?? I lived in an almost identical place here in Cleveland and only paid $700! I'd say they're getting robbed since I'm pretty sure the cost of living here is higher. Then Joey's rando friend calls Katie (?) and says he owes the guy money from 4 years ago for a cell phone plan? This causes a fight in which they make each other "feel like dog shit".
The argument continues into the night. Katie makes the passive-aggressive comments that only a girl can that make the fight only get worse. I don't even think her points are making any sense. In this instance, I actually feel bad for Josh in this fight especially because he's about to go work in a freaking coal mine!
Alex. More about her juggling all her jobs and Matt still has no job and is annoying her. she has high expectations (as one does) and he's just not really trying. Cue argument that Mom has to mediate. Wait, did he use the word "echelon" before stomping out the door? Triple word score! Matt comes back and threatens to leave and not stay anymore. Alex's mom once again talks sense into the both of these immature kids and tells them how much they need therapy to get better.
They set up an appointment with a counselor and talk about their trust and communication issues. The therapist suggests when the boiling point hits in an argument, walking away from each other to calm down. Only time will tell with these two, they stress me out just watching them.
Briana. Devoin shows up to visit and Bri confronts him about all his cyber-bullying and asks him to respect her or she'll go back and file the protection order, but she gives him a chance to prove himself. Momma suggests that Bri let him watch Nova for an hour alone for a practice run at being a real dad. Bri then talks with a friend about going back to school and having a life - and of course the conversation turns to Devoin and her friend doesn't think he should be left alone with Nova yet. hmmm.
Devoin shows up to watch Nova and Bri hasn't been gone more than what seems to be minutes and Nova starts fussing on him, but to be fair, he handles it well, likely b/c the camera is there. Meanwhile Bri and her fam sit in a car outside while she has a nervous breakdown.
Hahaha, Nova is still crying and Devoin has all kinds of shiny sweat on his face, but he even changes her diaper and cleaned her up when she puked on herself! I think he did better than I was expecting. but I still have a feeling he might have ulterior fame motivations for trying now. or else I'm just really cynical after so many years watching all these girls.
Moral of the story: all these girls showed their immaturity in this episode.
