I think that it’s a big step,

- After "Family Reunion,"
I’m trying to give Devoin \h\h\h\h\hmore of a chance
to be there for Nova.
\h\h\h\hWe made a plan that he’d pick her up
twice a week from gymnastics,
and he’s bringing her home \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hnow.
\h\h\hHi. [barking]
- Hi.
\h\h\h\h- [groans] - How was practice?
- Good.
- Did you do your homework?
- She got homework.
She got math.
- Do you wanna do that while \h\h\hI make you some ramen?
Yeah? Okay.
\h\h\h\h- Well, it’s-- well, your dad’s here.
Maybe he can help you.
- What you doing this weekend?
- Zero plans.
\h- Word, I was thinking we should go have dinner.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h- Kay. - Me, you, and Nova.
- How do you feel about us \h\hgoing out all together?
Cool?
You’re down with that?
- That’s good. \h- Kay, girl.
It’s a date, girl.
Let’s knock out this homework \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hsuper quick.
- If this one right here \h\h\h\h\his 25 times 20,
\h\h\hlook quickly at the 25 times 30.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h- Thank God you have a smart parent.
You and your father \h\h\hare the same.
- She got the right one.
I won’t sit here and debate \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hwith you.
’Cause I know what I’m talking \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\habout.
- And I know what I’m talking \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\habout too.
- You do.
You do.
- After family therapy,
I realized that I can’t always \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hbe in control.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI have to learn that his parenting is one way
and my parenting is another,
and that’s just how \h\h\hit has to be.
\h\h\hI think the main goal is to be better parents for Nova,
and it’s gonna take both of us \h\h\hto put in the hard work.
And it’s gonna take some time, \h\hbut I think we can do it.
And I just don’t wanna repeat \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hold patterns.
\hI don’t wanna go back to where we first were.
And it’s just gonna take work.
\h\h\h\hDevoin stayed until Nova’s homework was finished
and she went upstairs to get ready for bed.
- Okay, make sure you wash \h\h\h\h\hyour hands after.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h- Okay. - She’s wearing heels,
\h\h\hshe’s gonna wipe her ass, and she’s gonna wash her hands.
She’s grown. \h- [laughs]
- She’s [bleep] grown.
Did Devoin stop by?
- Yeah, he helped Nova \h\hwith her homework.
Devoin has definitely \h\h\h\hbeen helping.
Um, and he asked...
if he could take me and Nova \h\h\h\h\h\h\hout to dinner.
- I think that’s nice.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h- Yeah. - What do you think?
- He’s never done that before.
\h\h- At least he’s trying, you know, like the effort.
- The therapist said for the sake of Nova,
you’re just gonna have to make certain sacrifices to show Nova
what a healthy relationship \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hlooks like.
- I’ve been saying it. You have to guide him.
- Which to me is a big deal
because I don’t do stuff \h\h\h\h\h\h\hlike that.
But obviously I’m trying. \h\h\h- But you have to.
- But it’s good.
I want Nova to see more
of Devoin and I doing things \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\htogether
’cause I want her to see \h\h\h\h\hwhat it’s like
for, like, two people to-- \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\heven though
they’re not together-- \hbut still get along.

- I'm still getting used to having cameras
around again, and on top of that,
I just found out something about Vee
that's really upsetting.
We still have our podcast together,
but I'm not sure what's gonna happen now,
so I want some advice from Leah.
Hello, hi. - Hi.
- How are you? - I just came back
from Costa Rica.
It was the best trip ever.
- Yeah?
Um, really quickly,
just wanted to give you, like, backstory with Vee.
Basically what happened was like a couple months ago,
Javi and I got into a huge fight
and he didn't want me talking about him
on my podcast with Vee.
And he was basically alluding to, like, her being deceitful.
And so I texted her and Javi in a group text
and I said, you know, whatever it is,
like, lay it all out there.
- Mm-hmm. - So Vee comes into my office
and she's like, you know,
"I--I told Javi about your pregnancy with Lux."
Javi told me that back four years ago,
Vee hit him up on social media and was like,
I'm tired of you looking stupid.
I'll tell you everything, like, let's meet up.
- Damn.
- Well, I'm gonna start filming about being pregnant.
Have not told Javi yet.
- You have to tell him. - I know.
I just don't know when the right time is,
'cause he is not stable right now.
So they met up in a Target parking lot
in the m--like, in the night,
and she told him about me being pregnant with Lux.
- A little birdie came to me and pretty much told me,
said, "Hey, Jav, I'm tired of biting my tongue.
"I'm tired of you looking like a dumbass.
We need to meet up," so he says,
"Kail's three months pregnant."
[tense music]
Yeah.
- She didn't just leak my pregnancy to him,
she told him-- which is a complete lie--
that my miscarriage that I had with him
may not have been his.
- I heard just as much as you heard.
I'm not showing it, but I'm hurting.
Because you know how much I wanted that baby.
- But I never cheated on him,
and that was a planned pregnancy.
So for her to place doubt in his mind,
I just felt like that, to me, that part was unforgivable,
because up until this day,
Javi will say, "I don't even know if that baby was mine."
- Damn.
- I sent Vee a long text message
basically just explaining, like, how I felt.
And then she actually sent back, like, a long message
saying that she completely understands, that she's sorry.
I walked into the office and her stuff wasn't here.
And I felt sad.
- You're saying you're not willing to...
continue with the podcast?
Or are you--you don't know? You don't know.
Everything's up in the air right now.
- I genuinely don't know.
- That's, like, way too many people
putting their hands...
in conversations that just shouldn't be,
I guess. I don't know.
That's-- I hate that.
