I guess I'm the brain type that would entertain the possibility
that this creature, Bigfoot, is real.
Ever get that feeling when you're in the woods
that something's watching you?
I promise you, something's watching you.
I could see Dad with someone who's very adventurous.
I wonder if Sandra Bullock is a Sasquatch enthusiast.
Alright, Ethan, what's, like, kind of your goal
in, like, going up to Wisconsin?
Zac is, like, very pushy
and is very different than my brothers.
Feels like you just got down here.
Sucks that you have to leave so soon.
Well, you know, I asked Teegan to come to Montana.
I didn't know that.
I'll support him, whatever he does,
but if I can and see something that I don't think is a good idea,
it pains me to just sit back and watch him.
- Hello, welcome. - Hello.
Hi, how are you?
I think Ethan knows what's at stake if she rejects him.
What do you think?
Oh my God, what am I doing here?
Hey, honey.
Where-- you're on speakerphone. We're waiting on you.
Me and Kaylynn are going to Montana together.
It's good to be able to go on a trip with her
after everything we've been through.
Everything feels like
it's pretty much back to normal now.
And so regardless of the breakup,
it's good to, you know, travel with her.
Isaac has invited me on a trip to see Moriah in Montana.
We're so excited to see her and go on a little vacation.
- You're on time. - Exactly!
8:27, that's-- 8:30.
Things between me and Isaac, they're actually going really good.
Honestly, better than they ever were.
He's just given me all the reassurance that I can ask for...
And I'm on time.
...and communicating the way we should be doing.
He does everything that he can every single day
to prove to me that he loves me.
You look good.
Sometimes you got to take that little breakup
in order for things to really and truly heal
both of y'all and the relationship.
And I honestly think that's what's happened with us.
And I can't be more thankful.
- Ethan's meeting us there with Teegan. - Yeah.
Teegan's coming to Montana.
And it is, kind of, like, a little shock.
After the breakup, I don't know if Teegan wants
to get back with Ethan or not.
For now, I guess first step is just seeing, you know,
how she treats him in Montana.
- That'll work. - It should.
I don't know. I'll guess we'll see.
I don't necessarily have, like, a problem with Teegan.
It's just, since the breakup, there was a few private things
that went on that I didn't necessarily agree with.
I can start to see the planes coming into the airport.
Teegan is, you know, so sweet and lovey-dovey towards Ethan
one minute, and then the next thing you know,
it's complete sideways.
You can't just play with somebody's emotions like that.
I understand Ethan did certain things that he's not proud of,
and he's taken full accountability for it,
but you can't continue to play with somebody.
We are now almost ready to go, so please take your seats.
Alright, I think these are done.
Tonight, I made dinner for my dad,
and I invited my friend Berlyn over to help.
Me and Berlyn met maybe five years ago.
We met at church, and she's really fun.
- Ooh, I love doing this. - It looks so fancy.
Amber is really fun. She's playful.
Um, I really enjoy just hanging out with her.
She's good to talk to.
How's the cooking coming?
- Good. - Good, it's ready. We're waiting for you.
Ooh! Wow!
My relationship with Amber these days is maturing.
She's maturing, she's growing up.
She's showing herself to be a very responsible young lady.
Looking good.
- Smells great. - Mm-hmm.
So the relationship is changing more to peer-to-peer
and less, you know, father-daughter.
- Yummy. - Yum.
I'm gonna give this a-- a taste test.
Oh, fabulous! That's awesome.
Mm-hmm.
- That is-- that is really good. - I know I shouldn't say this,
but that is really good.
So, did she tell you that
I'm dating? - I heard.
- Yeah. - How's that going?
- It's in the beginning. - Mm.
It's at the really early phases.
Dad has recently started,
um, talking to ladies, and, you know,
he's in the dating... pool, I guess you could say.
So that's... exciting.
- Met anyone yet? - No, I've just been talking.
- Mm-hmm. - Just been talking on the phone.
I wish I could find someone and set you up.
- Just seems like it'd be fun. - Yeah.
Blind date? Mm-hmm.
I don't know about blind dates, but, you know,
if they're known by, like, a friend who knows somebody,
yeah, I would be open to that.
I think Dad would be able to tell
if, like, someone is being crazy.
I hope. If not, I'll tell him.
Around Cairo, I'm-- I'm known as the Plath Daddy.
- Really? - Huh.
I've got a new nickname.
So, yeah, life's an adventure.
- Mm-hmm. - Life's an adventure.
So...
- Really? - Mm-hmm.
Yep.
Me, Dad, and Mercy went Bigfoot hunting.
It's real. Don't you believe me?
No, I believe you.
Dad starts talking about Bigfoot.
And if he can find someone who will listen to him
talk about Bigfoot, he'll talk.
I think they're with us still today.
- Yeah? - Various types.
Maybe. I don't know.
There are people who have captured, um, audio...
- Of the call? - ...of-- of a Bigfoot.
It's a language of sorts that's beyond what we understand.
Who does he speak to?
- Other Bigfoots. - Oh, of course.
The theory is there's a whole tribe of them.
- Mm. - A whole race of them.
Just all in hiding?
Well, they have paranormal abilities, right?
The use of portals.
The portals, that's new.
I did not know about the portals.
Um, yeah.
They've captured these things on...
on film or seen them in person, just dematerialized,
just like through a portal. - Wow!
- That's freaky, isn't it? - Yeah.
I don't know.
Kind of lost me after that. I was like, "OK, I don't know."
It used to be in the realm of
anybody who talks about Bigfoot
needs to go to the psych ward,
you know, 50 years ago.
Now it's just become, people are warming up
to the fact that there's more out there
in creation that meets the eye.
Oh, Dad, you're still going to the psych ward.
Oh, thank you.
Will you come and visit me on weekends?
Can I use some of that?
Yeah.
- Can I use some of this? - Yes.
Thank you.
- Morning. - Morning.
Just putting on makeup.
Wide awake, good night's sleep, you know, ready to roll.
Oh, yeah. For sure.
So last night, we got in pretty late.
We were all very tired, but it's my first time here
in Montana and... - Yeah.
...gonna look around and do some fun things,
explore and just see what Montana has for us.
So, I'm excited.
We haven't seen Ethan or Teegan yet,
but we should be meeting up with them in a little bit.
What do you guys wanna do today?
I wanna wing it, play it by ear,
and just explore.
So, we don't really have anything set in stone.
- We're just gonna... - Yeah.
We're in Montana on a little sibling vacation.
I drove over last night, and Ethan, Teegan,
and Isaac and Kaylynn got in yesterday.
Well, we'll change, and then we'll be right over.
- Does that sound good? - Yeah.
- Sounds good. - Yeah.
It'll be good to see Teegan.
I think it's been since the wedding that I saw her.
The last time I saw her, I think,
was before school started.
- But it's been a hot minute. - Yeah.
Me and Teegan were always close at the beginning.
But I, kind of, you know, took a little step back,
'cause whenever something would happen,
she would call me and, you know, I'm always there for somebody.
But Ethan would sometimes talk to me about certain things too.
So I don't wanna be in the middle of things.
And I know nobody wants to be in the middle of things.
How are you doing?
- I'm OK. - You look tired.
Where are your brother and Kaylynn at?
- Are you just waiting for them? - I don't know.
- Yeah. - OK.
Teegan and I got in yesterday.
The travel out was very frustrating.
We both are extremely tired.
It's a lot for me to just be friends with Teegan,
'cause I love her, but that's where she's at,
and I wanna meet her where she's at,
you know, and be respectful about that.
Would you wanna watch a movie later?
Um...
I don't know, maybe, .
You wanna go look at them?
Sure.
In these rooms, at least how my room was set up, like,
the only way to watch the movie would be if you sat in bed,
and I do not want Ethan in my bed.
When I laid eyes on him, I was like,
"Oh, he's it. He's the one."
- You're so handsome. - You're so beautiful.
Yeah.
So how are you and Ethan doing now?
He seems super sad right now, like, I wish he was happier.
He might be not wanting to make a wrong move
or say the wrong thing.
Kaylynn and I don't talk at the moment,
so I don't really think she knows the whole story.
- You guys are going to Montana? - Yep.
Isaac and Ethan are out there right now,
aren't they, visiting Moriah?
Yeah.
It would have been fun to be able to join them on this trip,
but I didn't really hear about it till last minute.
I kind of just felt like I've been on the outside looking in.
Yeah.
The last straw that, sort of, broke the camel's back
of our relationship was I went to celebrate his birthday
with him, and it was a surprise,
so I coordinated with his grandparents.
I did the five-hour drive out there.
The ice was already thin at that point 'cause I was...
already months in to me telling her that I would move,
and I still hadn't moved yet.
At first, he seemed happy and everything like that.
Then he sort of just disappeared for a while,
which is Ethan. He does that.
I went to find him, and he was working on one of his cars,
but he was just acting really weird.
I started shutting down, like I was not saying anything.
I just wanted to keep working on my car.
I was just such an idiot.
And I kept asking, you know, what's wrong?
What's up? What's going on?
And he didn't really wanna talk about it.
He kept shutting me down.
And she started getting really frustrated
that I wasn't communicating with her.
And maybe I was asking too many times.
You know, he said nothing was wrong, but his words
and actions were not matching. I could tell.
Do you see anything you like?
And she kept pressuring me, like,
"Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me."
Then she kept pressing me, I was looking at her,
and it was like I was seeing my ex.
She used to do that.
I just finally put my tools down,
wiped my hands off, got in my '76 New Yorker.
He sort of peeled out of there,
and he shut his phone off
and left me at his grandparents' farm.
I remember looking back.
It's one of the most depressing images that sticks in my mind
that haunts me even today.
It's just Teegan, just perfectly beautiful,
standing there in the-- in the driveway,
crying with her hand over her mouth,
you know, I saw in the rearview mirror
as I just peeled down the road.
We broke up that day over the phone
when he turned his phone back on at some point.
It was just horrible.
And then after that point, it was like
everything just kind of ended for me.
Then I came back to Georgia.
He finally came to me with what I could tell
was a truth he'd been holding on to for quite some time,
that he wanted to watch all his minor siblings
grow up back down in Georgia.
Mercy, his youngest sibling, was 12, and so that meant
he'd wanna be down there for the next six years.
I just said it in passing, but not really considering
everything, like, would I really want that?
We didn't really talk for quite a while after that.
I really, really hope this time around I can be
who Teegan needs in a relationship.
Put her first, you know,
love her in the way she deserves to be loved.
But it's very possible that's-- it's too little, too late.
I'll never know unless I try.
Do you wanna play tic-tac-toe?
- Sure. - Which ones do you wanna be?
- It doesn't matter. - I'll be the Xes, then.
I decided to come to Montana because I think it would give
Ethan and I an opportunity to spend time together,
romantic stuff aside, just as friends.
Do you wanna go first?
- You can go first. - OK.
We had been no-contact for a while,
and when you break up with someone,
you know, you lose that romantic side,
but you lose the friendship, too.
And so I'm just focusing on rebuilding that,
and if that's where that ends, then that's where it ends,
you know, like friends.
I guess I'm just mostly curious to see how he'll handle being...
friends on a trip.
Oh, you're gonna win.
It's freezing outside.
- Good morning, good morning. - Well, hello.
- Hey, you guys. - Hi, everybody.
- Hi. - How are you?
- Long time no see. - I love your hair.
- Oh, thank you. - Oh, my goodness.
I do have love for the family.
And I mean, I hope
there's nothing but love from their side,
but I know Ethan doesn't communicate well,
so I don't know what they do know or don't know.
Well, I'm looking for a seat.
- I'm gonna sit down. - Yeah.
I just need to take this jacket off.
Yeah, I know, I took mine off right away, too.
What she-- you-- are you sad, happy?
Oh, yeah, just...
I'm sad with the weather, 'cause this...
- Yeah. - This stuff is awful.
Look at it. It's still raining out there.
Teegan is normal towards us
When I saw her, she gave me a hug
and said, "What's up?"
But she just seems distant from Ethan.
We're gonna go play a card game.
Moriah?
- I got my job and my house. - Yeah, I heard.
That's awesome.
I made a lot of steps just to be near her
and set up a life near her.
I don't think she would have come to Montana
if I hadn't done that.
So that's a little something, at least to get to see her.
I was so excited for everyone to come out and see me,
and I didn't know you were coming too.
I was hoping, but I didn't know you for sure were coming
until like, mm, two days or so.
- So. - Yeah, surprise.
Surprise.
Yeah.
The vibe with Ethan and Teegan is...
- I don't know. - I don't know.
I don't know. I actually don't know.
Mm, gotta think about that.
It's only awkward if you make it awkward.
- Exactly, thank you. - And so...
And everyone else makes it awkward,
so I'm the one making it not awkward.
'Cause she'll just talk when it's quiet.
Mm-hmm.
So how are you and Ethan doing now?
Um, I would just say, like, alright.
You know, finding out he's moving was a big shock,
especially, like, at this stage, you know,
'cause we've been broken up for quite some time.
He had told me that his plan was to just move there.
He was like, "This is like-- it's gonna kill me if I don't
just move there and see what I can do to make it work."
And I was like, "Whoa, hold on a second,
back up a couple miles. I'm not following." - Yeah, it's a lot.
Yeah.
We've been just, like, working on a friendship
'cause he said he's open to a relationship of any kind,
even if that is just a friendship, and we were,
you know, best friends, and I've told him that, like,
I-- I do have love for him. I always will.
When Ethan and I were together, I was in Wisconsin.
He was in Minnesota.
When it did come to traveling, most of it was me.
And I am a working mom, so my free time is limited.
Like, looking back on that, I was just like,
you know, you realize things like, "Oh, come on, Teegan."
It's not like a red flag by any means,
but definitely like a yellow flag for sure.
Yellow, orange.
Alright, you gotta at least get one.
You wanted to lose. You were trying to lose.
I don't have any interest at this point
in diving deep into anything beyond superficial.
I just have walls up, I guess.
You know, I just wanna figure this out, like, slow.
He seems super sad right now. Like, and I wish he was happier.
But I know men and women process things
at different times.
They always say women mourn a relationship
while they're in it, you know, whereas men don't realize
they've lost something until the breakup happens.
So that's why I feel so bad that he's, like, so emotional,
and I sort of just seem like not at all.
Well, also, I don't think he wants to, like,
do anything wrong either.
Like, he might be nervous about that,
not wanting to make a wrong move... - Yeah.
...or say the wrong thing, you know. - Yeah.
No, I get that.
After Ethan and I broke up,
Kaylynn and I talked for quite some time.
Many months, and eventually, just sort of fizzled out,
so we don't talk at the moment.
So I don't really think she knows the whole story.
No one can predict the future, but...
- Yeah. - ...if it's meant to be, it'll be.
if it's not, it won't be, so. - Mm-hmm.
I know people go at things, you know, at their own pace,
but, you know, since he's moving up there,
I thought that, like, it would have been a little different
instead of just being friends, um,
but I honestly can't tell you whether or not
I think she still wants that.
We'll just have to see what happens.
Is it supposed to stop raining anytime soon?
Mnh-mnh. Let's play cards.
That's about our only option.
Do you have anything to say about how you chose
to conduct yourself last year...
I definitely shouldn't have been so hot-headed.
- Is that any way to live life? - No.
Being petty?
Um, I woke up really, really hot in the morning
and I realized, I-- I forgot that I turned
my heat on to 80 degrees.
So I was like, "Ha, I'm in Hell."
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed
with my eyebrows not on anymore,
so I have to redo that.
Because of my alopecia,
these eyebrows have saved my life.
I see a little bit of new growth,
just a tiny bit, but it's not--
not enough to get too excited about,
but it's something to get my hopes up.
I'm still in the process of figuring out, you know,
exactly what's wrong and what triggers it.
But right now, what I'm just really working on
is taking care of myself.
You know, just taking vitamins and stuff like that in my diet
and trying to eat more and hopefully
put on a little bit of weight.
Just overall, make sure I'm healthy.
The hardest part is lining it up.
That's where I have to do it a few times sometimes.
'Cause sometimes I can pick up my emotion for the day.
It's like, do I wanna be happy, sad, angry?
Every single human being I've met has some big insecurity
that they struggle with, and it might not be something
as obvious as hair, but we all have it.
I think something that I would tell my younger self is
embrace the good and the bad,
and all of that makes you you,
and it will one day make you a lot stronger.
Mm.
Yeah.
This one's lower, though, but, it's 'cause this kind of--
but you know what? It's gonna be fine.
When I first lost my hair, I had just moved out here.
I was trying to really start all over,
and losing my hair really helped with that in a way.
Like, looking back, I'm like, wow.
It just forced me to shift my, um,
mentality and my heart.
This one's a little lower though.
It's pretty-- it's pretty close to...
It's pretty good, so we'll just roll with that today.
Oh my goodness!
Unfortunately, yesterday, it rained all day and all night,
which really sucked 'cause it kept us inside,
so we played games in the entire day.
But today, since it's nice out,
we're gonna go horseback riding.
Well, since the horses aren't ready yet,
I'm gonna interview you.
Ethan doesn't like to talk about his feelings and stuff,
and I honestly I found the best that he ever does is really
with a camera in his face,
so it's sort of easier to get him to talk.
Which person do you think will be best?
Oh, I don't-- I don't know.
I haven't ridden a horse in like ten years.
You seem like you're from Yellowstone,
except with blonde hair.
Why the hell do I seem like that?
I get to ask Ethan, sort of, whatever I want now,
which is really nice because he doesn't really share much.
Do you have anything to say about how you chose to conduct
yourself last year, especially to Zac?
I asked him about
how he acted during Zac and Lydia's wedding,
wedding rehearsal, and the whole nine yards.
I don't know that I can do this.
I was really disappointed in the Ethan I was seeing,
because that's not the Ethan I know.
He really made an ass of himself.
He was doing a really [bleep] job
of being there for his sister.
Is that any way to live life... being petty?
Interesting.
Teegan was really upset that...
I left without telling her.
I just took off again, you know?
And I remember her telling me, like,
if I was really struggling, if I was, like,
if I'd had it and I needed to go,
that I should have come to her and told her that
and she could have gone with me and we could have
talked about it and all that stuff.
I was like, "I didn't even think about that."
I just got in my car and left, but...
I definitely shouldn't have been so hot-headed.
I've apologized to Lydia and Zac for any of the ways
I may have hurt them.
I let them both know that I wish them nothing but the best.
And we have a good relationship now.
I just think interviewing Ethan gives him a chance
to hopefully, you know, admit maybe wrongdoings
or, you know, what he could do better,
because, like, to me, that would signify the growth
I'm hoping for in just even a friendship alone.
Are you excited for our first Christmas together?
Oh my goodness, you have no idea.
I love everything about Christmas.
- Christmas-- Christmas-- - How do you know you love everything about Christmas,
if you've never experienced it?
I have three years of Christmas experience.
OK, I have 24.
Are you excited for our first Christmas together?
- We're almost... - Oh, my goodness.
You have no idea. Or apparently you do.
I don't know-- have any idea with you, though.
I think it's-- your excitement is gonna make this Christmas
entirely different, so...
The Plaths grew up kind of not--
they didn't celebrate Christmas.
I grew up celebrating Christmas,
and so as soon as Lydia heard about that,
she was jumping off the walls
at the idea of decorating for Christmas.
So I'm down a couple hundred bucks,
but we're having a great Christmas.
Did you not celebrate at all growing up?
No.
It's our first Christmas together,
and I'm just so excited.
I love everything about Christmas.
- Christmas, Christmas Day-- - How do you know you love everything about Christmas
if you've never experienced it? - I have.
- Oh, OK. - Just, I didn't--
not necessarily, like, when I was a little kid,
but I have experienced it for several years.
OK.
These candles might warm the room up a little bit,
- So-- - You know I love my candles.
I have three years of Christmas experience.
OK, I have 24.
OK, so what are some of your favorite Christmas movies?
"Home Alone" is a classic.
Every year, my family would watch it all together.
The best is "It's a Wonderful Life."
I've never seen it.
- Zac Wyse. - I've never seen it.
- You-- you can't-- - Oh, come on in.
Knock, knock.
- Taylor, you're here just in time. - Hey.
Did someone order delivery service?
Oh, I forgot about that, yes.
- I heard we have cocoa in our future. - Thank you.
Hi, guys.
We're excited. We wanna celebrate.
So we got Taylor coming over.
We're celebrating the whole month.
- Yeah. - Just... just the thing.
I love your tree, by the way.
Thank you.
So, Taylor, what are--
what's your favorite thing about Christmas?
- Just the season-- - Family.
- Mm - Family.
I don't get to spend much time with mine
'cause they're all up north, but, you know,
we all connect at Christmas. - Yeah.
- No, we're gonna have... - Christmas with his family.
...Christmas with my family.
Christmas in Colorado with my friends, so...
And then you guys are going to Montana afterwards.
Yep.
Isaac and Ethan are out there right now,
aren't they? Visiting Moriah.
Yeah.
It would have been fun to be able to join them on this trip,
but I didn't really hear about it until last minute.
But I already have a trip planned to Montana,
you know, like, next month, so it'll all be good.
I think they're out there now,
and we'll be out there in like three weeks.
I do feel like the majority of my life, I have been
kind of just overlooked as a middle child.
I've kind of just felt like I've been
on the outside looking in,
and that's just shown itself in our marriage too.
There's just times where it really affects her
and even me too, like,
we've both expressed pretty clearly, like,
we wanna be a part of their lives,
and just a lot of stuff happens without us,
and so it just can affect us sometimes.
Yeah.
Are you guys ready for some hot chocolate?
- Yeah - That would be great.
I am, I've been ready since I woke up.
We're finally going horseback riding.
I'm not a professional, but I've definitely ridden
horses in my life a good bit.
I grew up riding horses.
What makes this special is that my family's here,
and that we're all having fun doing it together.
Alright, you guys ready to get on?
- Yes, sir. - OK.
- Alright, girl. - Alright.
Perfect.
Hey, Duke.
Here's your rein.
The trip so far has been very good,
it's very good to see Teegan,
spend time with her.
It's very different than it ever was, you know.
Like, the distance is...
hard for me to get used to, but I understand it.
Whoa.
I'm noticing that Teegan's very standoffish from Ethan.
I know Ethan's not been perfect in the relationship.
If you're upset about something, that's OK,
and you can work through that with your partner.
But if she needs time to get over something,
then she should take that time.
So I don't know exactly what's at play there.
Yeah.
Hi. Thank you.
I'm a little nervous 'cause I don't ride horses.
OK. Oh, gosh.
I've ridden a horse, like, you know, those little, like,
fair things where you just get on the horse
and walk in a circle.
Get moving, Tucker.
So that's-- that's about it.
All my horse does is eat,
He keeps, like, bending down, and then, like,
I don't have any slack.
So he won't do that while we're riding, right?
OK, 'cause I'm not very strong.
Ethan is very protective of me, so I do appreciate that,
but, I mean, a horse is a big creature,
and so if he wanted to take me off,
whether he got off his horse or not,
like, the damage is done, so...
- Are we ready? - I'm ready.
So I'm in the middle of y'all two?
- Yep. - There you go.
Turn them towards me.
- You good? - Yeah.
Yeah, um,
it's just like doing things with any friends, you know?
So it's not weird or anything.
I'm having a good time.
This is probably the hardest part
about the whole entire ride
is getting everybody started.
Mm-hmm.
- A little steep hill here. - Yep.
OK, everybody.
I'm gonna have you guys hold your horses at this stump
until the horse in front of you is up on the hill.
So then that way we don't have a traffic jam at the top.
- Uh-huh. - OK?
You hear that, Tucker?
Lean forward.
There you go, Abe!
Duke, you look so graceful.
Watch the tree.
Whoa!
It's been a long time since she's ridden a horse,
and she is nervous.
I was hoping that we would get to ride close to each other
so I could, you know, keep an eye on her,
make sure she's OK.
I definitely feel protective of her.
And, like, there's so much I wanna say and do,
but it can't all happen right now.
You have to be-- I have to be patient.
Ethan keeps turning around to look at me.
I'm sure it comes from a good place, you know,
making sure I'm OK.
But it just makes my anxiety worse.
Whoa, whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I am getting annoyed.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
It's not our turn, wait.
Oh, no, wait for us.
No!
Oh, oh.
Teegan, go.
OK.
Go, go, go, go.
OK, go, go. No, no, no.
- OK, go. - Go.
- Oh, my gosh. - [bleep]
OK, go, go!
Go, go. No, no, no.
- Keep going. - Go!
- Oh, my gosh. - [bleep]
Whoa, whoa.
My horse tried to bite her horse.
Yep, they fight like siblings.
You know, horses have a hierarchy.
Some don't get along with others.
OK.
I didn't want the horse to get spooked
and start running, that would not have been good.
Kaylynn's horse tried to bite my horse,
so I guess our horses are beefing.
Tucker's good, though.
He's good. I'm on Tucker's side, honestly.
Ethan's vibe right now,
his energy is just really heavy.
Um, I don't know, sad, depressed, upset, angry.
I don't know what.
It's sort of hard to navigate, 'cause I wanna respect
my boundary with not doing quality time.
But at the same time, the people pleaser in me
is like, "Well, maybe if I did do that,
would he be happier?"
It's the first time I'm hanging out with Ethan now,
post-breakup, in, like, a big extended, you know, trip.
And so it's definitely weird, and I'm adjusting too.
So, I mean, I don't blame him for adjusting,
just maybe in a different way than I am.
I'm not gonna lie, Tucker, you're, like... awesome.
I think, for me, at this point, it's more important
to stick to my boundary.
I feel like Ethan, in our relationship,
was putting himself first, and I wasn't putting
myself first. I was putting him first.
And so I'm, you know, sort of taking the reins on that
and putting myself first.
Oh, my gosh! Somebody get pictures!
That is so freaking pretty!
It's very easy for me to get in my head about things.
And when I do, I just become very distant and quiet,
and sometimes I don't even see
what's going on right around me.
And I'm a little aware of how that affects other people,
you know, or would affect Teegan.
So I'm just trying my best to reel myself into reality.
This is like the first time that we've been together
for any length of time.
And so, you know, Teegan may be hesitant or has some walls up,
and that's perfectly fine and understandable.
I don't wanna be by her horse. It tried to bite my horse.
So, not next to Kaylynn.
Sorry, Kaylynn.
Normally, I'd love to be next to you.
You know, this is...
no fun to go through.
But, you know, I'm hopeful
that this isn't the end for us.
Hi, y'all. Cheese.
Ethan.
Ethan, look at the picture.
Teegan's definitely blowing him off.
I don't understand that.
She gets invited out and do a family trip with us
and, you know, just kind of blows him off the whole time.
He was so excited about her being out here.
So I understand if he's sad.
But he's been sad for so long, I think it's time he just,
I don't know, if it's not gonna work, it's not gonna work.
- And we're out! - Come on.
Teegan is being a little standoffish.
It is understandable in a way, but I mean,
why come to a whole different state
with your ex-boyfriend and his family
if you're not necessarily gonna, like, kind of make that effort?
Isaac always says,
"We have to decrease the 'tude, not add a 'tude."
I wanna be with you forever,
and that's why there are some concerns that I have.
I love Kim, but I think it could potentially be
a deal breaker if she is not gonna commit to her health.
He's giving me an ultimatum.
I do worry about the future of our relationship
when I hear him say things like that.
Obviously, you saved the first time you guys had sex
'till your wedding night. How was that?
- Like, what was that like? - Oh, .
There's definitely a side of me that no one has ever seen
or I never imagined was there.
I'm on a coffee date with my mom.
So he's here.
He invited me to go see his house that he's renting.
Obviously, his end goal is to win her back, as it were.
So it's our choice to create a bit of a boundary there.
I don't think he's the type that's gonna just give up.
