- Previously on "Teen Mom Family Reunion"...
- I tested positive for COVID. I'll be in here by myself.
- This reunion, me and my mom--
we've grown so much,
and it sucks 'cause I can't just be like,
"Oh, let me go give her a hug" 'cause she's quarantining.
- Y'all gotta put on helmets.
- Why? - I don't know.
- There's no sleeve to go in there?
I'm literally wearing somebody else's sweat
on my [bleep] head.
- Zach is just...
He doesn't listen to the rules.
- I'm gonna miss you, but I'll be home in three days
after you get there.
- Bye, room.
- Hello? - Hey, Gary.
Maybe you and Leah
could come out here. - Um...

[line trilling] - Hello?
- Hey, Gary, this is Maci.
- Hey, how are you? - So I was wondering
if you and Leah
could come out here for a day or so
just to visit with Amber.
Truth be told, I think that Amber--
she's going through the hardest time
right now that she's ever gone through.
The custody situation with James...
I just really wanna do something nice for her.
- Um, I don't know if I can
because of school and stuff, so...
- I really hope they can come out here,
because that will make it all worth it
and change everything.
I thought this would be-- this would be a good time
for them to hang out,
maybe, like, outside of just their norm.
- If you just wanna let me know exactly what day...
- I'll text you and then-- and then see
if you can get, like, a flight booked or whatever.
And then I'm not gonna say anything to anybody
so it'll be a big surprise for her.
Like, nobody but me and you and Leah will know.
- Sounds like a plan.
- All right, well, that sounds good.
Thanks, Gary. - All right, yep.
See you guys soon. Be safe.
- Okay, bye.
- Bye.
- I love Gary.

- So is Coach B back?
- Coach B is back.
She's been focusing on, like,
the mother-daughter relationships
and, like, traumas or anything that you wanna work on.
I think it would be good for you to talk to her.
- See, I was coming here in hopes
that I can sit down and talk with her,
with Coach B, this time.
I've had my trauma in the past.
And last year, I didn't really get a chance
to sit down and talk with Coach B.
I never talked with anybody directly about it.
I just found a way to, you know, mask it
and get through my problems. And it's kind of hitting me.
I need to work on taking care of my responsibilities.
And I can't just sweep things under the rug.
No, you see the articles.
They think I have five, six DUIs
when that's not the case.
I just never went to court,
so it's mandatory jail time.
So it'd be 60 days.

No, I was thinking more so us as a couple.

- Oh, I don't think we're dressed for the farm.
- So we're coming to the end of our trip here.
And this trip has been kind of a bummer for Jade,
so I have an idea for a date
and really talk about our future,
since we're getting married soon.
It's just nice to have some quality time with Jade,
because we don't really get too much of that at home
with the little youngling running around.
So if you haven't noticed already,
we are at an alpaca farm.
- Obviously. - Yeah.
We're gonna feed some alpaca today.

where my relationship's at with my mom,
and with myself too.
I feel like I've gotten that closure over the last year
and I'm in a really good spot.
- I'm just really, really grateful for everything,
you know, that you've done.
I definitely see a huge change
in our relationship
since I've been out of treatment,
you know what I mean?

like, after the wedding and when we move
into our new, like, forever home.

I feel like we're in this like great place

We've been through a lot,

So finally.
- I can't lie. I'm a little nervous.
From all the other moms, I hear Coach B--
she's got a way with people.
She knows how to, you know, pull it up out of you.
So, you know, I'm trying to go in with an open mind.
I'm not trying to be reserved. I'm trying to let it out.
So we'll see where it goes.
- How's everything been going between you two?
- I think we've had a rough year.
- It's just been rough.
I mean, for me, I had my legal issues.
- We broke up because I was mad at him.
'Cause I could see your potential,
but you're not applying yourself.
- Mm. - This case is from 2016.
We're in 2022. - Yeah.
- What the [bleep] were you doing?
- Yeah.
- Did you think it was just gonna disappear?
- I mean, it's the wedding of your dreams
that you've been planning.
It's been so much leading up to it.
Nothing's been going right.
So how are you coping with it?
- I'm [bleep] pissed.
I love him.
I just get so mad at him sometimes
because we wouldn't be here
if he'd just handled his [bleep].
- So I wanna do an exercise with y'all,
'cause I love where you're at right now
and I think it's gonna help.
Zach, you'll sit where Chey is.
And then sit here, Chey.
Face each other.
- Feel like a bad kid at detention.
- I just got called to the principal's office.
- Ha, ha.
- So, Chey, I want you to tell Zach,
what are some of the concerns you have with being married?
- That I don't want you to go back to past ways.
And you beating yourself up about it
isn't gonna do anything.
- Zach, where'd you learn to beat yourself up at?
- I don't think it was a learning.
I don't know.
- Oh, it's learned behavior, yeah.
- Really?
- Dad was in your life? - Yep.
- Still is? - Yep.
- Mom was?
- Not so much.
The thing with my mom, it was, I wanna say all the way up
until, like, ninth-grade year, every other weekend,
I was going to her house.
And then it just stopped.
- And now you say you guys are still not...
- Yeah, we just kind of at a distance.
We probably talk, like, once a month.
- Okay.
And so there goes your "I'm not good enough."
- As a mother, I don't know what--
I couldn't--
it's not talking bad about your mom,
but I just couldn't see myself only seeing my kids
every other weekend, you know.
I feel like that aspect I don't understand.
- And that is called abandonment.
Are you ready to receive it?
I don't wanna push you, but are you ready to receive that?
- I'm listening. I'm hearing.
- Open your hands.
We're both going to give him his abandonment
that he's gonna receive. You ready?
Let's go.
- Drop it in.
- Now I want you to do what you wanna do with it.
Mm-mm.
- Why would you eat it? - Hold on.
Because that's what he's been doing.
Did you see what you just did?
- Yes. - You just said what to him?
- Why would you eat it? - Stop.
That's the mama bear in you.
You see it and you call it out.
- Yeah. - Wait.
You didn't even say, like, "Man, I'm done with it."
You didn't even say, like, "I've gotta figure it out."
You looked to her for guidance and you--
and I'm not knocking you for that--stick with me.
But you looked to her for guidance
more in a little boy way.
- I have to work on letting Zach be a man and husband
and realize that...
- Chey, can you commit to falling back
and letting your boy become a man?
Or do you wanna marry a boy?
[tense music]
- She's gonna need a man, not a son.
I want you to work on the little boy in you
so that she can have a husband.
Chey, can you commit to falling back and letting
your boy become a man?
Or do you wanna marry a boy?
- I can commit to allowing growth in the relationship.
That's what I can commit to.
- And within himself. - Yes.
- I always wanna take care of everyone around me,
not just Zach.
- Come give me a hug.
- I'm just that person.
And I have to realize that sometimes,
I have to sit back and let Zach just take care of me.
- I wasn't expecting to, you know, step into this.
I wasn't expecting to hear none of this this whole trip, so...
But I'm glad.
I'm happy to work through these type of things.
I was battling a lot of things,
things that I didn't know that Coach B brought to light.
So nothing but positivity comes from this.
I'm feeling like I had a weight off my shoulders.

because with the court, with everything
that's been going on,
it's probably been about a month.
Amber, heard back from the courts
that I guess Andrew gets to take James.
From what I understand,
he's allowed to take James out of state,
which he more than likely will.

Before she came, I called her, actually, and explained
why I wasn't present for her as much this year
because of court
and everything that happened with my son.
I feel like that's what I had to focus on.
I'm still just trying to figure out, like,
how you guys are here right now, though.
I mean, it's--I'm glad you made the decision though.
It must have been hard.
She will not miss school for anything.
Like, for her to even miss school and do this,
like, it's super big.
I'm sure you knew, like, how much it would mean
to me to bring her here.
I mean, I think when I get back,
obviously, you know, I'm gonna call you again
and see you when you're not busy.
Mine and Leah's relationship
is something that I'm trying to work on.
I want to just get to a point
that we're comfortable enough to just hug each other
whenever we feel like it,
to say "I love you,"
to do normal things
that a mother and a daughter would do.
But that's just gonna take time.
- I'm glad I get to be here and see you.
- I missed you.
To be honest, it's been too damn long.
It's made this whole time being out here worth it.
It's been so stressful.

to California, Leah is here,

- I've gained and learned so much at this reunion.
I think the session I had with Coach B and my mom,
I just learned so much.
I do wanna go home because I miss my kids.
I'm not getting to participate in any of the activities.
I'm not getting to bond.
I'm not getting to improve my relationship with my mom.
So I'm just kind of like, what am I doing here?
- You don't see this in Indiana.
- We're all really missing her.
This is like the final family dinner,
and I feel like she's missing out.
- Oh, look at that.
- What is this?
- It's from your mommy. - It's from your mom.
- I see, like, all these canvases,
like, around the table,
and I see like one and it's from my mom.
"Amber, hi, my daughter dearest.
"I hope and pray you are having a wonderful time
"with the girls and their moms.
"I would have loved to have gone with you
"and experienced this memorable time with you.
"I want you to know that you are smart, beautiful,
"so unique, and unstoppable.
"And I am so proud of the woman you're becoming.
"Love you more than all the raindrops in the ocean
"and to the Moon and back.
Love, Tonya." - Aw.
- To me, like, it feels, like, really good
to have something from her.
Because I miss her.
- It says, "Maci, I remember when you started this journey.
"As a teen mom myself, I was so worried
"because I knew the struggles that would lie ahead of you.
"But in true Maci fashion,
you've handled them one after another..."
- Aw. - "In such a way
"that I and so many others stand in awe.
"You're an amazing woman, friend, wife, mother,
"and I am so proud to call you my daughter.
"I love you, Maci.
Love, your mama, Sharon."
I'm really sad she couldn't be on this trip.
But honestly, it's making me
not so sad about leaving,
because I'm excited to go home and just hug my mom.
- "Catelynn Judith, I'm so proud
"of the woman you have become:
"strong, beautiful, and free spirited.
Amazing mom, kind-hearted, good friend."
- "My baby girl Chey, you're beyond special.
"Keep shining.
"Proud is an understatement.
Love, Mommy."
- "I am very, very proud of the mother you are to Chloe.
I am so proud to be your mom."
I'm gonna cry.
- It's okay, Jade.
- "I'm genuinely proud of you.
"I'm proud you are such a great person
"with such a great heart.
Love, your mom."
- That was beautiful.
- You like that little surprise?
Do y'all wanna sit down and have a glass of wine?
- I'm so down.
[dramatic music]
[wasp buzzing]
- There are yellow jackets everywhere.
[indistinct]
- I'm telling you, just don't worry about them.
- Yeah.
We're gonna tell her don't worry about them,
then her ass gonna get stung,
and then she gonna hate us for life.
- Stop. - Kiaya hates bugs,
but for some reason,
bugs love being around Kiaya.
- [yelps]
It was too many [bleep] bees.
[wasp buzzing]
[screaming]
- I would.
- Kiaya, come here. Come here.
- No, it was in my ear. I'm like...
- Guys, there's, like, literally five.
Come on. - This is insane.
- Too much.
- I'm not gonna sit around like that.
I was trying to hold my [bleep] together.
The bugs ruined my whole [bleep] day.
Like, at this point, [bleep] this picnic.
Take me home.
Uh-uh, I can't.
- ♪ Baby, I'm stylish ♪
♪ Bougie ♪
♪ Sweet low down ♪
- Sorry, buddy. Yep, we're good.
- I'm sitting here. I'm trying to thug it out.
Bugs is trying to eat us alive, and nobody cares but me.
So I kindly removed myself from the situation
until we got it under control.
- I wanna ask you guys.
Can you tell us your high moment of the trip
and your funniest moment of the trip?
- So first day was the welcome party,
which I thought was really pretty and nice.
But I think what was even better is
the whole bungee jumping experience.
- You see the bridge that we're standing on?
We're gonna jump out of our fears, off of this.
- Don't look down. Just walk right off the edge.
- Just walk right off.
[group screaming]
- Oh, my God!
- You've got bigger balls than your mom!
[laughter]
- I wish more people would have done it.
- Wait, who did it, and who did not do it?
- I wasn't there. - I did it.
- You did it. - Mm-hmm.
She did it. - We did it.
We did it.
- So Chey mentioned you guys went rock climbing.
- He is not holding back.
- I'm a little jealous 'cause that's
something that I wanted to do.
- Don't give up. You got this.
- My feet hurt really bad.
- Yeah, go Jade.
- You got this. - Good job.
Go, Cate. Good job.
- Spiderwoman.
[all cheering]
- Did you go? - I went!
- She went to the top.
She got her little booty picture.
- Chey, turn around! Flex!
- Did anybody get my booty picture?
- Keep it there.
- Does it look like Jade?
- All right, I want whitewater rapids.
- Yeah. - That's what I want.
- That was fun. - That was good.
[all cheering]
- Oh, you're good.
- Looks like some scary [bleep].
[screaming]
- Hard left!
- I fell in the water. It was fun.
- You didn't even get all the way in, bitch.
Shut up. - You did.
- She dipped her coochie [bleep] in and said,
"I regret it!"
[laughter]
- Wait, the oar!
- [shouting indistinctly]
Help me! Someone, please! Aah!
- She dipped her coochie [bleep] in,
she tried to get out,
and then her ass fell in.
- Exactly, bitch.
- I had a really good time at the pool.
That's my element.
Pool, bathing suit, little drinky-drink in my hand.
- It was so nice.
- And then when Coach B showed up,
I knew we were getting into some [bleep].
- We really got into some [bleep].
- We got into some mud.
- Oh, there's a pit.
- Are we some [bleep] pigs?
This is mud!
I don't wanna roll around in the mud.
- It looked nasty.
- That looks like it's deep!
- Cheyenne, you can get in there,
but I'm not getting in that mud.
- Something that was so hurtful and devastating to me
was watching April sit there and literally grab that rope
and yank you so hard that mud is hitting you in the mouth.
- You raised a strong enough [bleep] woman to stand up
for what the [bleep] she believes in.
- I don't worry about you
because you're so [bleep] strong,
I don't have to worry about you.
You always have been.
You've been the best [bleep] kid
in the whole [bleep] world. - Stop, stop.
Stay right there. Stay right there.
- I never had to worry about you.
- This is your mom.
Why isn't your mom calming down?
And then I realized, "Oh, my God, that's how
April handles issues."
She literally just reacts.
And she doesn't care who else is around
and getting affected.
- I have to say something.
I can see Cate is getting upset, you know,
and I don't like that.
With April, she has guilt
because she knows what she did.
Her yanking that hard and [bleep].
- It's just trying to get Cate out of it.
- The guilt is not yours to hold.
- Exactly. - And it's not yours to feel.
April--she might not see how some of that behavior
comes off to Cate.
My mom feels guilt, but my mom's
not gonna sit and yank me till I cry
and I say I'm in pain.
- Oh, my gosh.
I'm like--I'm here.
I'm riding the river, going with the flow.
But calm the [bleep] down.
[percussive music]
- My mom feels guilt, but my mom's not gonna sit
and yank me till I cry and I say I'm in pain.
At the end of the day, Cate, who's it hurting?
It's hurting you. - Right.
- It's not hurting--
It's hurting April.
- At this point, I'm just kind of, like, over drama.
- I have to say that April has been trying for years.
- But April's not a bad mom.
No. - Right, yeah.
- We're saying these are coping mechanisms
that April uses.
These are the things that we witness from the outside,
looking in, as thinking like, "Oh, my God,
so that's a metaphor for Cate and April's relationship."
And I'm not saying that's all April is.
- No, it is. It's like that though.
- I wanna ask what your low of the trip was,
but I don't wanna make it a negative thing.
I wanna turn it into a positive.
So almost if you answer with what your low is
and what you think next year can be better.
Like, how do we fix it almost? You get what I mean?
- I think we need to be more aware
of people being physical that put us in positions
that we are having issues with.
- No. So I can kick you
in your [bleep] throat.
- 'Cause you can't fight? - No.
[bleep] you, bitch. - 'Cause you can't fight?
- [bleep] you. - Sit down.
- [bleep] you.
- Come down, baby. - Ash.
- [bleep] you.
- Come on! Come on, bitch!
- What happened that night was a low.
- I think what Amber is talking about is good.
I feel like we do need to be more aware.
Like if there's drama between certain people or anything,
like talking.
And things don't have to get physical.
- For me, next year, so it doesn't happen again,
if two people that we know are coming into the situation
with some drama or with some beef,
let's sit them down with the mediator immediately.
- But also, I feel like if people
aren't taking accountability, we can't get anywhere.
So maybe, as a group, we have to...
- Hold them accountable. - Hold people...
- Yes. - Accountable and say,
"Hey, you're diverting from what we're talking about."
If two people aren't willing to be adults
and really figure out an issue,
I don't know if the mediator is, honestly, gonna be helpful.
- Seeing me and Leah today,
this is what means the most to me.
I had this--
[crow cawing]
Shut the--
[laughter]
- This crow is like, aah.
[crow cawing]
- Come on, now! Listen!
- All right, okay.
So, all right, I'm just gonna say.
When I had... [crow cawing]
A completely... - Stop.
- It just kept interrupting Amber.
It was funny as hell. I can't lie.
But you know, [bleep] happens.
- I still love the nature.
They're just--they're just giving me some props.
[crow cawing]
- I wanna do a cheers.
- Okay. - Yes.
- Okay, here's to another Teen Mom Family Reunion.
Here's to us being amazing parents
and doing better than what our parents have done.
- Whew. - Right?
Even if we had the best lives ever,
we're at least doing something at least a little different.
Cheers to us. - Cheers to us.
- Cheers! all: Cheers.
- Now let's go on a boat.
- What? - We're going on a boat.
- ♪ Let's go someplace we can lay low ♪

- Hey, it's a great day.
- This is the best ending to this reunion.
- Skipper! - Aah.
- What the-- that's what his name was.
- Enjoy.
- When I came to Teen Mom Family Reunion last year,
I felt a little lost in life.
And I feel like this year, after this whole experience
with my mom and Sean, I feel happy and confident.
- ♪ You know you make me, you make me stronger ♪
- It's so pretty out here.
- I learned a lot at this reunion.
Not just about myself, though.
I just learned that a lot of people
go through a lot of things and basically,
it's just a part of life.
Everybody has to figure [bleep] out, not just me.
- Just quietness.
- I'm so happy that Zach and I
went through this experience together.
And I'm hoping that we can continue
to work on our relationship.
- This all we need.
We don't wanna move.
We wanna float and live.
- The biggest thing that I learned,
I think, from the reunion this year
is being present in a positive way
for my family and myself.
- We're on a sailboat in Oregon!
This Family Reunion has not disappointed.
I feel like there's been so much growth.
- [trilling] - [trilling]
- Leaving this reunion, I feel good.
I know that there's some things
that I need to, like, work on
as far as my mom's relationship with me.
We have a long journey to get to where we need to be.
But we'll be okay.
- All right, y'all. - We'll do this. We'll do this.
- This is, I feel like,
such a good way to end our reunion.
Despite everything-- the traumas, the issues,
everything--this has brought us all together.
And we have to all realize that we are so fortunate
and blessed and beautiful.
- Yeah!
- Whoo!

- Up next on "Teen Mom Family Reunion:
The Aftermath"...
- It definitely looked like a bump to me.
- Bumped or not, you don't spit.
- She's a snake. She's messy.
She's a fake-ass, selective, wannabe bully.
- Hey, me and my mom are gonna leave.
- It finally happens;
Maci and Ryan on the couch together.
Ryan, why didn't you want to attend Family Reunion?
