Catelynn and Tyler celebrate Carly's birthday, whom they placed for adoption nine years ago and receive disappointing news. Bentley starts the 4th grade while Jen and Larry are relieved when Ryan returns to rehab.

I don't see how Teen Mom OG will get renewed. On this week's episode:

Cate & Tyler celebrate Carly's birthday and complain that Theresa is not allowing them to visit Carley (hopefully a process server is en route to serve them with papers that close the adoption along with No Contact Orders). All is not lost, for there is cake for Cate.

Amber is still sitting on a couch:

So is Baby Huey:

Maci ( who still talks slow) is sad because it's Bentley's first day of fourth grade and it's the first year that Bentley doesn't want her to walk him to his class.

Gotta love how Slamber has to one up Kristina with her own miscarriage that no one has ever known about ... she’s such a pile of worthless shit

 

Does anyone work ??!! I mean no one even the parents ... other family members or other hanger oners seem to work .... bunch of lazy people ...

Bentley entering the fourth grade really just makes me reflect on how long this show has been on and how much longevity it has left. I mean, are we still going to be watching when he starts middle school and goes through puberty? 

Hey, only 6-7 more years until the kids can have their own spin-off show. Let's hope it's called, "16 and NOT Pregnant".

And go @ghoulina on your bad-ass self-defense classes!!!

Were Cheyenne & Zack eating Boston Market?  Although I give them props for putting their wine in glasses; takeout for me includes a Sutter Home mini-bottle as is.

isn’t Nova, like, three? So we just leave her in the tub alone til she’s ready to be washed? I knew better than that way back in the 90s!!!

Nova :”mommy, wash, please?”

World’s Greatest Mom: “QUIT IT!”

Tyler’s thought bubble:  are daycares open nights & weekends???

How much laundry to Taylor and Maci have? Or do they save it for the show?

I too, was annoyed with Amber's "and back to me.." because her experience was very different than Christina's.

Glad that there was more Gary and Christina this week, and wanted to give Christina a big hug. She is so genuine.

What is up with all of them having miscarriages?

First thing Cate should do to assist with her "trauma", is to blast the fuck out of Dawn. Cuss the dogfuck out of her one good time for taking advantage of two troubled and stupid teens.

All of these phone calls and Alex and Ani bracelets and hugs is not going to change the favt that Dawn's main goal was getting that white baby by any means necessary. If Cate unleashed that and then unleash some hell on Tyler she'd have the ability to move forward with some clarity. Acknowledge that two people in the room snookered her  out of her baby.  

Is Carly better off? Definitely.  But the means by which she got there was lowdown.

PREACH, @Brooklynista! You've taken my thoughts and said them much more eloquently and succinctly than I ever could (or tried to do recently on C&T's thread).  Cate would be so much better off if she told Dawn and Tyler off for what happened nine years ago.

What exactly is an “Attlee”???

A made-up Palin name that while awful, is still much better than being a Tripp or a Trigg.  

Or a Track.

The poor kid's name is even worse - Atlee Bay, named after a body of water in Alaska.

It's like naming your child Lake, which could be pretty, but then adding Michigan as a middle name.  

Actually I could see Cate and Tyler using my idea.

Kristina's story was terrifying. I didn't even know that was a thing. Obviously I've heard of an ectopic pregnancy, but I didn't think that was a possibility if you had your tubes tied. Everyone can make their choices about their body, but tubal ligation seems unnecessarily risky just speaking for myself. If it were me, I would just ask my partner to get a vasectomy. Good on Gary for going out of his way to take his own steps to make sure it never happens again.

Kristina, crying: "I had a miscarriage just recently. I heard the heartbeat."

Amber, too bored to even stop staring at the ground: "You remember like three years ago when I randomly went to Vegas to appease my midlife crisis alcoholic boyfriend with a marriage that literally everyone in my life was telling me was a bad idea? To the point where I actively inconvenienced everyone by calling off the wedding in the middle of the vacation? Well, in the middle of all that I miscarried and Matt got so mad he punched a wall LOL! Oh, Vegas."

Did this bitch just try to one up Kristina's miscarriage? You would think that if you had gone through it, you would understand how raw and painful it is, especially at the beginning. Amber just threw that out there like they were swapping summer camp stories. Also, I know the kids are getting older and more aware, but I still think it was inappropriate for both of them to share that much graphic information in front of Leah. Not even because of the medical discussions, but because it has to be awfully hard for a nine-year-old to process in the span of one conversation that she was supposed to have two additional siblings that she lost.

Gee, Dawn, maybe you could've given Cate & Ty that "soft fall" advice when they were 17? Suddenly buttering up Teresa with inane small talk about Carly's life isn't going to make her forget a decade's worth of shit talking and ulterior motives. Bad blood on camera aside, I think C&T's main issue (beyond the delusion that they are still her true parents) is the fact that they act as if Carly is a car that they have to ask permission to take out and drive and Brandon and Teresa are the strict, hardass parents blocking their fun. They don't actually have or want a relationship with them, they just see them as fickle, obnoxious gatekeepers that they have to go through to play house with Carly. As such, their relationship with them is always purely transactional and about instant gratification. Do they ever ask about Brandon and Teresa? Or Carly's little brother? No, They just pop up on a whim every few months to incessantly ask when they can see her again. But from Teresa's perspective, why? Even putting aside the constant passive aggressive antagonism, they don't put any effort into knowing Teresa or Brandon or anything about their lives, so why would they want to make them a part of their daughter's? I guarantee that C&T know nothing about Carly's school or friends or interests, especially given the blank looks on their faces when Dawn suggested that they ask about Carly's day. She's just a prop to them. And I'm sorry, but that miscarriage bracelet birthstone thing was weird and a really exploitative attempt by Dawn to insert herself into their storyline again. That bracelet is going to do nothing but trigger Cate. She should just put it away in her dresser. Am I the only one who noticed Tyler was totally checked out during the emotional Cate/Dawn hug? It must be exhausting living with someone who insists on revisiting every trauma they've ever been through every single day.

It says a lot that in the same episode, Bristol is learning self-defense to gear up for the increasingly likely possibility that she will have to face down a potentially homicidal stalker (and, let's face it, a similarly violent unhinged showdown is probably on the horizon with Dakota too). She has to constantly be on alert for multiple men who have the potential to hurt or kill both her and her kids. Meanwhile, Cate is STILL blathering on about her "adoption induced PTSD." GAH! These girls flaunt new mental illness diagnoses like they're Louis Vuitton handbags.

Cheyenne has the most boring storyline ever. Seriously. No. One. Cares. 

Cory got kicked off the most recent Challenge for being a violent asshole. Cory then went on social media to brag that it didn't matter he still had that sweet Teen Mom gig and the money it brings.

I will never forget when Bill Maher said, " Bristol...Willow...Track...Trig, sounds like you're  calling in an air strike!"

What is it with the miscarriage Olympics on this show? 

 

Amber you are so gross.  (So, is her new dude.  Does he work?) Why did you reveal your fake miscarriage when Kristina was talking about hers?  Leah didn’t even believe you.

 

Then you took it one step further and tried to use this fake miscarriage to try to repair Matt’s reputation.  Doesn’t even make sense!  We saw Matt coddle your every move.  I don’t think he would have acted violent upon learning of a miscarriage.

 

Matt was pissed off because he wanted more money from you and you probably wouldn’t give him any. He wanted to drug, drink, gamble and cheat while in Vegas.

Right? It's the way she says it. "So my most recent diagnosis is...." - like it changes monthly and that's normal.

Why does Amber even mention Matt’s name? 

If I were Andrew, I'd get quite tired of hearing about it.
