He wants to write.
I'm doing a wallpaper line.

if you could do a line of your own.

And I think she's having, like, a really bad panic attack.

"Look, dude, next time my daughter comes at me saying
"that you're doing something that she doesn't like,

- So I just had my surgery
a few days ago.
And I haven't felt good enough
to really even document everything.
It's just been the worst recovery
I could have ever imagined.
I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.
Sean and my parents are fighting
because Sean's saying my parents
aren't doing anything to help, which they really are not.
I've had a panic attack almost every day.
But I'm just ready to go home because I want to just put
this whole situation behind me.
And I'm hoping that my doctor can clear me to fly
so I can go back home
and be in my own bed and be somewhere more peaceful.
- I haven't heard from Luis
since he bailed on Stella yesterday.
But Sean just called me, and I'm worried about Jade.
So I'm gonna go check on her.
Give me a kiss. Give me a kiss.
- Mama. - I see.
- I put marker in this. - You put marker in it?
- I'm gonna take a quick trip back to Miami.
Sean asked for help.
- How is she? - Terrible.
Sean told me that the reason why she's not healing
the way she's supposed to be healing
is 'cause she's under too much stress.
Supposedly, the dad and Sean got into a fistfight.
And Jade jumped out of bed trying to fix the situation.
- What the [bleep]?
- The only person that she can really count on
is herself and Sean.
But Sean is torn between the kid--
- Running after the baby and then watching her.
- So it's not that he's not doing nothing.
It's just he has to prioritize the baby.
- It's just too much. - Yeah.
- He has too much on his hands.
- So who is there with them now?
- The mom is there, the dad is there,
and the baby's still there, and Sean.
But the mom is not helping
like Jade thought she was gonna be there to help.
That's what Sean told me at least.
They want to leave, like, tonight,
when I think it's the most--
not the greatest decision in the world to leave tonight.
- How is she gonna go back home?
- Flying. - [gasps]
- Oh, my God. If she's my daughter,
I would tell her, "No, you're not flying."
No way, the altitude, blood clots, no way.
Talk some sense into them and let them understand

It's [bleep] dangerous. Let her know the truth.

I'm not trying to stay the night.
- No, you have to come tonight. Don't touch body fluids.

And I don't want you to feel like you're a burden,
because you're not.
If you just want to sit back and not do anything,
that's the purpose of you coming to my house.
- Bitches that go through this [bleep] are real gangsters.
Like, I don't think people really understand
that [bleep] this is not-- I think it's 'cause
it's cosmetic, people don't feel bad.
Like, "Oh, you asked for this. You signed up for it."
- Yeah. - But this [bleep], for real,
is like--it is a toll on your mental health,
your [bleep] everything.
- There was a lot going on in the house.
And we went in and we saw you and we saw what wasn't right,
and we had to fix it.
- And my mom was acting like she's one
of those know-it-alls, she knows everything.
And then you come out here and then now,
at the end, you're like,
"Oh, sorry, I didn't know what I was doing
'cause I haven't been trained for this."
- You could have pushed yourself through
if you had the right people supporting you around you.
- Like, she was saying that everyone was saying for her
to not come in there. [bleep] that.
If my kid was in pain, just had surgery,
I'd be like, "Bitch, get the [bleep] out of my face."
- Yeah. - "I'm going in there,
and I'm being with my kid."
- Yep.
- Like, you know, it just--I don't know.
It just didn't make sense to me.
Unless you're in my position, you'd never understand
what--like, the draining and the emotional draining
for years and years this does to you.
- You have every right to be upset at your mom
and whoever else that was in that house this past weekend.
You have every right to be upset
and feel the way that you do.
- I think this opened your eyes to a lot of [bleep].
- I think I'm just reevaluating my life so much.

♪ I was looking for a peace of mind ♪
- So I think that's all for today.
We hope you guys have a great week.
And we'll chat with you soon. - See ya.
- Alexa, notes for us to send to Lauren for anything?
- No. I mean, everything sounded good.
- So that episode is going to release on Thursday.
I just worry that it's, like,
one more thing that makes me damaged goods.
- Who's not damaged? - Yeah.
- I don't--that doesn't make you damaged.
You just have a condition.
- So that's the thing, though, is, I think, like,
that feeling's valid, but I think that it's gonna
maybe make a lot of people feel more heard.
And I think that's what you need to focus on here.
- Like, there are so many women out there
who probably have this and have no idea.
They don't know why they're struggling with something.
I feel like there's a whole stigma.
You go into the doctor's office and you're overweight,
and they want to blame every single thing on that.
But they don't always look at why.
So I think it'll be good that you touched
on your entire experience for other people going through it.
- Well, it's just like even--you know,
I've had plastic surgery for weight loss or whatever.
But I feel like I did a really good job
maintaining what I got done.
And I never really had a problem with that
until years after the surgery, and like, I'm going to the gym
and I'm still-- I've been able to tailor,
like, my diet and my workouts
to, like, how I was feeling about my body.
If I felt like I was gaining weight, I would make changes,
and it would kind of fix everything.
Now all the sudden, I can't fix it. Like, I don't--
- Yeah. - You know what I mean?
So there's a lot to be said about that.
- So can we talk about where you're at
with the whole process with your egg retrieval?
What's the timeline on that? Like--
- I was nervous to talk about it
'cause I don't know when I developed PCOS.
So if it does make it harder for me to get pregnant
and I do decide that I want to get pregnant
and I'm older...
- Mm-hmm. - That, on top of it,
I would want younger, healthier eggs
when I could get them, I guess.
So why not make that option available for myself?
- Are you nervous? - Yes.

- Hey, what's going on, chicky chick?
- Mom! - Hi. I have food.
- Y'all have fun, Ash? What all y'all do?
- We just chilled the first day.
The second day, we had a nice gondola ride.
- Hey, Bar. Let's roll on out.
We're gonna go out and grab a bite to eat
and just get caught up and just chat.
- All right.
- I had no idea that my dad had planned on talking to Bar.
I think that my parents definitely feel like Bar
has changed because my mom flat out told me
in the past that, if he tried to marry me,
she was not gonna let it happen.
- Your man is outside trying to fight your parents
like a back-alley dog.
- Bar was tearing out of his shirt
like [bleep] Incredible Hulk, trying to fight Ted.
And I feel like if the police hadn't came when they came,
it would have gotten worse.
- Do y'all think now that we kind of had this conversation,
y'all will be, like, you know,
more supportive of our relationship?
- For me, I get mixed emotions.
When you start cutting up, then no.
- I feel confident that my parents feel confident
that he's changed
because my mom is a straight shooter
and she would definitely be telling me,
like, "Girl, don't accept that ring from him."
- So y'all got a date settled yet
on this whole shing-ding y'all planning on doing?
- I ain't gonna lie, dates keep jumping around.
- Is y'all ready? Is you ready?
- Overall, like, I do 100% believe I'm ready.
I mean, we had our fair share of issues.
- Yeah, we all thought you was a human [bleep] up.
- [laughs] Man.
- So yeah, that put a bad taste in everybody's mouth.
- I know. It sure did. I used to get drunk as [bleep].
That was my way to go get away from everything.
- No. Yeah, but we--
- That was my way to get away from everything.
- Me and Tea was talking about how you, you know,
got yourself together and stuff.
You fell ass backwards into a good--into a good woman.
But the bottom line is simply this:
take care of her, man.
Take care of her. Take care of Tiny.
'Cause if you can't get yourself together,
you're no good to nobody else.
- Right.
- We're gonna pass her on to you, man, with our blessing.
- I appreciate you giving me the blessing, honestly.
- You'll be all right.

♪ Ooh ♪
♪ Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ♪
- What are you doing?
- Come get your hair done.
- Yeah, you just played yourself.
- Come have a seat.
- There, just relax right there.
So how was your talk with Ted?
- We had a good man-to-man conversation.
Everything going smooth, like, as far as us.
- It's been an exceptional year for you.
- Thank you. I try [bleep]. [laughs]
I unfortunately but fortunately
realized the value of myself
and my peoples around me a little bit more.
- It's making a transition from Bar
who was reckless
to now Bar who has a family, a wife...
- Something to [bleep] live for.
- A whole entire house now.
I'm happy that you are doing all the right [bleep].
It's wonderful for me.
It's wonderful for your daughter.
I think that, in the last year or so,
Bar has changed tremendously.
As soon as he stopped drinking, he started flourishing
and he started doing all these wonderful
and positive things with his life.
I'm very proud of him 'cause it's not easy.
And I want the best for him
'cause a win for him is a win for Holly,
and that's the bottom line of all of this.
