[Whitney] Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute! What does that mean?!
That's a line! -[Whitney] Previously, on "My Big Fat Fabulous Life."
[Whitney] It's not there.
-Not pregnant. -I don't think I have it in me
to try insemination again, because I cannot stand to fail.
[Whitney gasps]
-The view. -[Sabrina] Yeah.
[Jessica] Whitney is in love with this place.
I mean, who wouldn't wanna run away
and start over with their life?
Isaiah and I haven't cuddled on a couch in probably
six years or more.
[Whitney] Jessica seems eager to leave Greensboro,
even though she has a whole life in Greensboro with Isaiah.
I haven't had this conversation with my husband,
but I just don't know how much more I can take of it.
This is the first time I've heard Jessica say that
maybe she's done, done.
I have made the decision to pivot.
I signed a lease in Salem, and I'm moving.
You met Sabrina and Corinne, and you were like, "These are
way better than my current friends."
[Ashley] This is a pattern for Whitney.
She gets dissatisfied with her life, and she runs away
from home. -Hello.
I'm moving to a new state.
I'm embarking on something that should be really
fun and exciting. -[Jessica] All right, ladies.
But Ashley is very pissed.
Do we have an itinerary for this trip?
She just decided this, like, what, two days ago, so, I mean,
couldn't have had too much time, huh?
Lord Jesus.
This is the highway to hell.
[main theme playing]
[upbeat music playing]
[Whitney] Oh, my butt!
[Jessica] Don't know how much I can stand these sweatpants anymore.
I think I might change in the bathroom.
Why does it feel like we have been seriously
traveling for so long? -[Ashley] Thank you for driving.
Right hot out. Isn't it, muggy like?
We are only about four hours into this road trip somewhere
in Virginia, and things are tense.
Dad just texted.
He said, "Are you driving all the way to Salem today?"
I'm gonna go inside and change. If you want,
I can get some water for Goose. -Are you sure?
-[Jessica] Or the waitress can bring it out, or whatever. -Yeah.
-All right, I'll be back. -I'm gonna go shop.
Ashley is technically supporting my move to Salem
by coming with me.
But if she's still this pissed and she's not gonna talk
to me, I'm gonna have to address it.
[Jessica] OK, I feel so much better.
-[Whitney] Oh, you look -- -There is no way I was gonna
make the rest of the trip in those sweatpants.
I was gonna say, "You look so much better."
-Well, I know I do. -[server] Hi, how are you?
-Good, how are you? -Welcome to the Cooked Goose.
[Jessica] Thank you.
It's been four long, excruciating hours
of awkward silence.
So, I'm really looking forward to some kind of resolution here,
because so far, this has been the road trip from hell.
What you got there?
[Whitney speaking]
He's right, cute about it, isn't he?
[Jessica] He is.
[Whitney] Oh, my God, I know what this is.
He brought this home the other day with, like, the baby bed
that he made. -[Jessica] Is that yours?
-Yep. -Stop.
-That was yours? -And the stuffed animals.
Oh, my God.
I know, I'm tired, 'cause I'm about to cry, Lord.
[Jessica] Oh.
This gift that my dad has given me breaks my heart
a little bit because he's making it so clear that he does
not want me to give up on motherhood.
And I just feel like I don't have control over it.
And that's such a pain point.
He's just like now going into overdrive to make sure that
I know that he thinks that I should be a mom and that
that's what he wants.
Is that still what you want?
Yeah, and it's frustrating because, of course,
it's what I want.
And Angie said something to me at the party,
not unlike something that you said to me
that really upset me, actually.
-What she said or what I said? -What both of you said,
actually, although she said it a lot nicer than you said it.
Well, I've known you longer, so what did she say?
Like, "I hope you're not making the wrong decision."
I mean, I'm just gonna have to say it because I don't wanna
spend the rest of this trip like this.
I'm here, but there's no point in being here if you are
feeling in such a way that you can't even talk.
I just feel like...
the way I found out and how soon, like just a group
announcement, and how soon it is, just very much
caught me off guard.
I wanted to tell everybody at one time, and I knew there was
no other time, especially with the way
we don't even have friends anymore.
Like we literally do not have a friend group anymore.
So there's no way I was gonna get everybody together
to tell them something unless it was for my birthday.
I don't necessarily feel like it had to be
a group announcement.
[server] Hi, I'm sorry for interrupting.
-Oh, no. -On your hot dogs,
we do have some choices for toppings.
Whitney knew there would be reasonable objections to this,
and she didn't wanna hear it.
She just wanted to do what she wanted to do.
And I mean, I feel a little hurt and discarded, you know?
Just "Thanks for the memories, everyone.
I'm moving to Salem. I'm gonna have new friends."
I don't know how to...
feel about that.
I guess everyone's trying to be supportive,
but telling me, like, "Hope you're making the right
decision or you're gonna regret this," which is what
Angie said to me, it's not helpful.
And it really just makes me feel like [bleep], because if
I could be pregnant, I would be. It's not happening for me.
I wanna clarify.
I can't clarify for Angie, but I'll clarify for me.
I'm hurt and, like, taken aback by how quickly it's happening.
I need time to adjust. Of course, I support you.
If I didn't, would I be here? Absolutely not.
[Whitney] No, but that's why I want you to fix your attitude.
Well, I was --
'Cause I was ficused upon, egregiously, at my own birthday
party and left to cry.
I'm sorry I made you cry on your birthday.
Thank you for your apology, and I do apologize.
I truly did not know that you were gonna be
this affected, and it,
in a way, does make me feel loved.
In a way.
It should definitely make you feel loved.
Well, I'm saying I might've done the delivery a little bit
differently, but thank you for caring.
A little bit of that is, just, like, I mean, jealousy.
Like, you're just gonna just uproot and go and be like,
"Well, I'm this single, fun woman
with my witchy fun new friends
in Salem, Massachusetts," like --
-And that's fair. -Yeah, like -- and I can admit that.
-I also feel that way. -Yeah, I can admit that, like.
-You know, I get territorial. -We have been friends
for more than half of our lives.
I mean, this is not gonna change
that, but I think we really have to make a better effort.
Well, this has to be intentional, I mean,
it's gonna be like that with all my relationships, you know? -Yes, yes.
And I'm aware of that, it's not like it's not
something I'm not thinking about.
Of course, I'm thinking about my dad.
Don't worry, I've got a very close eye on Glenn.
Well, I know you do, but I just, you know, I do,
I do worry.
And, like, the fact that he encourages me and wants me
to be following my life and dreams and whatever,
and I've decided to actually do it, well, that makes me feel
good about myself, you know? -Yeah.
Leaving my life in Greensboro, I'm leaving behind
a lot of wonderful things.
Like my father, who I do not have, you know,
an infinite amount of time with and I'm leaving my friends,
and I feel like I'm really taking a leap of faith, hoping
that I can find fulfillment and happiness in Salem,
but I also feel like it's something
that I have to try.
-Are we done ficus? -Yeah, yeah.
-I love you. -Love you too.
-Cheers to that. -[Whitney] Cheers.
I'm ready to start having some fun and --
Cheers to -- let's, OK. We don't need to relax.
-Cheers. -Cheers.
-[Jessica] All right, cheers. -[Ashley] Oh, my God.
[pop music playing]
Can y'all look at New York City?
-[Jessica] Concrete jungle. -[Whitney] Anyway.
Day one of road trip. Day one.
Oh, look at the harbor.
A New England town by the water.
Imagine why anybody would wanna move here.
[pop music continues]
[Ashley] This is so cute. I didn't know it was an inn.
[Whitney] Only the best for my bitches.
Goosey, we made it, baby.
After a long day on the road, we have decided
to stop in Connecticut.
I booked us a really cute little like, waterfront inn so that
we can wake up a little bit refreshed, hopefully,
before we head into Salem. -[Ashley] Oh.
Also, it's just a way to say "thank you" to Ashley
and Jessica for coming with me.
[Jessica] Well, we got here at the perfect time
because look at this.
[Whitney] I got y'all the nicest view.
[Ashley] Thank you for doing this.
[Jessica] Oh, Whitney.
-Well, let's get dressed. -Let's do it.
[Ashley] Or undressed, as it were.
I'm so glad Whitney thought to do this.
Honestly, when we were still fighting, part of me wondered
if she just, like, wanted warm bodies in the car
for her road trip.
So the fact that she's, like, planned this shows me
that Whitney really has, like, thought about the way
she wants to spend our time together before she moves away.
I feel very Texas Chainsaw.
[Whitney cackles]
And you look it too.
I didn't realize it was gonna have an actual face on it.
Oh, it smells good.
Here, fix my face. OK, here.
-Oh, did you just-- -I feel like you're real cute.
[Whitney speaking]
[Ashley laughs]
-Aw. -[Whitney laughs]
It's been 13, almost, years, Whitney, since we've lived
together in our old apartment. -Is this right?
Let me see.
[all cackle]
I think my face is too small for this thing.
-[indistinct] about it. -[Whitney cackles]
-It's your -- your [inaudible]. -[cackles continue].
How long does this stay on for?
-It's uncomfortable. -I like it.
I find it soothing.
And I think that this night has ended up a lot better
than the morning started. -Sure did.
And we have made it all in one piece, and we're all on
speaking terms. -Nobody's ficused.
-No one is ficus. -That's the best part about it.
I'm just personally, so glad that Whitney and Ashley managed
to get through all of their drama,
because the tension and the awkwardness
was really killing my vibes.
And with all of this stuff that I'm going through in
my personal life, I really could use a nice, relaxing vacation
with my girlfriends.
Oh, my God.
Oh, wow.
[phone rings]
-Yo. -[Hunter speaking]
Not since, like, lunch time.
[Hunter speaking]
[Whitney] No, it's [bleep]. Did you ring the doorbell?
Maybe his hearing aids are out.
Let me track him. Well, who where would he be
without his car?
Oh my face ID doesn't work.
I got on a mask.
[all laugh]
Um...it says he's at home address right now.
Hold on, I'll just go into the security camera.
He's probably sitting there watching TV with his ears out.
[Hunter speaking]
Hunter!
Get in the house.
He's on the floor. He's on the floor in the den.
Hunter, get in there.
-[bleep] -[Whitney] Dad!
Hunter, call 911. Call 911.
[Whitney] I do not understand what is happening.
Daddy?
[tense music playing]
Hunter, he's on the floor in the den.
[Hunter speaking]
Call 911. Call 911. Daddy?
My dad is on the floor of my living room back in Greensboro.
I can see him on my security camera.
[bleep]
I can't tell if he's hurt, if he's sick,
if he's even breathing.
And I am hundreds of miles away from him.
Oh, my God. He's moving.
[Hunter speaking]
[Whitney] Daddy? Can he hear me?
Or am I hearing Hunters? What am I hearing?
Hunter, can you hear me?
[Hunter speaking].
I can see you.
[Hunter] Hey.
[Glenn] Yeah, I'm OK.
[indistinct]
[Glenn speaking]
[Ashley] Glenn, did you fall?
[Hunter speaking]
[Glenn speaking]
-[Hunter] What do you mean -- -[Whitney] Sat down?
[Glenn speaking]
-[Jessica] Is his breathing OK? -[Whitney] Hunter,
take his pulse.
[Hunter speaking]
[Glenn speaking]
Like gummies?
Oh my God.
[Glenn speaking]
[Hunter speaking]
[Glenn speaking]
Daddy, that's not, you're not supposed to take no two
or three of them, Dad. -Oh my God.
I leave for one day, not even a whole 24 hours,
and you're in my medicine cabinet?
See, and that's our first problem.
CBDs are made from the cannabis plant.
You can use them for pain or to help you relax or sleep,
but you're only supposed to take one.
Like, what would possess you? It's obviously not candy.
Like, it's in my --
[sighs]
I'm literally having a [bleep] heart attack, Dad.
-Jess, did you call 911? -Not yet.
He picked him up right when I was about to call.
[Hunter speaking]
We were trying to relax.
[Ashley] So was your dad.
[both laugh]
[Glenn speaking]
I don't know what got into me to
eat these gummies, but I really only had
three of 'em, I think.
And a half.
And I noticed I was really kind of lightheaded, and next thing
I know, I'm taking a nap on the floor.
[Glenn chuckles]
[Hunter speaking]
Can you sleep at the house tonight?
'Cause you know he gets up five, six times
in the night to use the bathroom.
He's gon' get up and be disoriented.
[Hunter speaking]
I'm trusting you, Hunter.
[Hunter speaking]
[Whitney] Bye.
[Hunter speaking]
Jesus Lord in Heaven... on the CBD.
Not Glenn overdosing on CBD laid out on the floor.
On the CBD.
[Jessica laughs]
-Couldn't even leave him-- -[Ashley speaking]
[Whitney] Couldn't even leave him for a weekend.
-[Jessica] A day. -[Whitney] Without Glenn Floor.
How often do you think you're gonna be checking
those cameras now? -Constantly.
-Yeah. -[Jessica laughs]
Well, that wasn't really what I needed the night before
I decided to start my whole new life.
About a thousand miles away.
This is exactly the kind of thing that I was worried about,
and I know I'm gonna be up all night wondering if
he's gonna be OK.
So, do I have reason to be stressed?
I think so. Thank you, Glenn Floor.
Well, thank God he does have three standing appointments
with you at the gym every week. -Yeah.
So, if the cats are eating him, it'll only be for
about 48 hours.
Oh, my God.
[upbeat music playing]
[Whitney] Oh, my goodness.
Oh, and it's just crisp enough.
[Ashley] As soon as I felt that breeze, I knew it was just for you.
-[Jessica] I can still smell these flowers. -A New England breeze.
[Whitney] Oh.
[Jessica] Ladies, home stretch. For real, for real.
We have certainly had our ups and downs on this trip.
Good lord, help us all.
However, just a couple more hours, and we will be arriving
to my new home in Salem, Massachusetts, which sounds
so weird to say, and I cannot wait.
I called Dad this morning. He didn't answer.
He's in his nap spot. That's where he naps.
He goes behind that shopping center and takes naps.
-Like in the car? -Yes, he does it every day.
-Oh, my God. -Let him nap.
No, I gotta check. I just gotta make sure he's OK.
-Hello? -Dad?
-Yeah. -What are you doing?
[Glenn speaking]
Well, I do see that you're in your nap spot.
[Glenn speaking]
-OK. -Dad.
I knew he was taking a nap.
Did you go to the gym this morning, even though
you didn't have Jessica?
[Glenn speaking]
[Jessica] OK, I love to hear that.
Thank God you've been doing the training, because remember
how difficult it was for you to get down on the floor
and up again.
And yesterday, you were able to just get yourself down on
the floor without hurting yourself.
[Glenn speaking]
-Dad was on muscle memory. -[all laugh]
[Whitney] All right, love you.
-I'll call you later. -[Glenn] All right.
God.
-Are you getting more excited the closer we get? -[Whitney] Yeah.
You already relocated on the app.
No, I got a couple friends up here, and now I need a man.
If you find a man, you're really never
coming home. -Well, that might be true.
Oh, look, I've got some super likes --
well that's a no, and that's a no.
Chadd with two D's, I can't do that.
This coming from someone who's like, "I'm gonna die alone."
Bitch, look.
Just 'cause I will die alone doesn't mean I can't have
any damn standards.
[all laugh]
[Jessica] I know that Whitney has experienced a lot of
disappointment when it comes to her love life,
but there's another side to that.
Like, she has the opportunity to move to another place
and meet new people and put herself out
in a whole new dating pool.
No, we gotta be in Salem. We're only seven minutes a --
-[Whitney gasps] -Are we really?
-When did that happen? -We're only seven minutes away.
To have the opportunity to start fresh, you know,
I'm a little bit jealous.
This is my street. This is my street.
There it is.
-[Jessica] Oh. -Oh, my gosh.
Look at it.
-Oh, wow! -One little spot just for you.
[Ashley] And the beach is just right there.
Goosey, we're home.
-Come on, Goose. -Here we are.
-And here she'll stay. -And here she'll stay.
[Whitney] Come on, Goose.
I honestly can't believe it.
Like, this is my home in Salem. I live in Salem.
I feel like I have to say it out loud more to make it real.
Go, Goose. We're home.
I feel in my gut, like, I know I made the right decision,
and that is very validating. Goosey, what you think, girl?
[Jessica] Oh.
[Ashley] Oh, look at that view.
You know, seeing the condo is bittersweet
because it's beautiful.
-This is really cute. -[Whitney] See?
And honestly, it makes me a little nervous that maybe
she won't come back to Greensboro because this is
right up Whitney's alley.
I feel like this is your style too.
It reminds me of your bathroom at your true home in
Greensboro, North Carolina.
[Whitney chuckles]
-You mean my primary residence? -I do mean that.
That works for me too. As long as it remains primary.
[Jessica] There is a moment of, like, sadness.
Like, we're gonna be leaving without Whitney
at the end of this.
And, you know, there's a part of me that's also just kinda
living vicariously through Whitney.
In this moment, she's very carefree,
and gets a clean slate.
So I get why she wants to be here.
And I'm glad she has a guest room.
-Isn't it just enough? -It really is just enough.
Tomorrow...
Sabrina is having us like, a welcome party,
with I don't know who,
I guess her friends. -Is she bringing boys for you?
I don't know.
I honestly have no idea who's gonna be there.
[Whitney screams]
I'm already starting my new life in Salem,
and I definitely have got to get out of the house.
I've gotta take advantage of all
my invitations and opportunities.
I cannot isolate anymore because this is going to be
a different life than the one I had in Greensboro.
-You wanna go upstairs? -Yeah.
Show us upstairs. Finish the tour.
[Whitney] Come on, Goose. OK.
[Jessica] Goosey, you coming or you staying?
[Ashley] Her, just living her best little life.
-[Jessica] Come on, Goose. -[Whitney] Come on, Goosey.
-There's something between us. -Forget men.
Have you considered just seeing how things could go
with a woman? -I would be interested.
We'll see, there may be a lot of life changes on the horizon.
You can stay.
[upbeat music playing]
[Jessica] I hear people talking in the back.
God, the girls really have nice houses.
-[Whitney] They really do. -[Jessica] Hello.
-[Sabrina] Oh, my gosh. -[Corinne] Oh, my goodness.
-If it isn't the master -- -[Whitney] If it's not.
-If it's not. -[Sabrina] Welcome.
This is what happens when you misbehave in our house.
[Ashley] Oh.
I thought you liked some misbehaving.
-Hi. -[Whitney] Good to see you.
I'm feeling really spoiled.
Sabrina is throwing a little backyard party with her friends
to make me feel really welcome into Salem and apparently some
single men will also be here. -Can I get you all a drink?
-[Jessica] Sure. -Yeah.
-[Sabrina] Come on in. -Sabrina.
[Corinne] Look at the cake that Sabrina made you.
[Whitney] Sabrina.
I'm just so excited you're here.
-Look at how cute all this is. -[Whitney gasps]
-Oh my! -[Sabrina] And it's red velvet.
So cute. Thank you.
-Welcome to New England. -Thank you.
And thank you guys for coming.
I know it's kinda weird to show up to a party
when you don't even know the people.
But I do appreciate it.
Thank you for making me feel welcome.
And how do we know everybody here?
[Sabrina] OK, Gina works at Maddie's.
-[Gina] Yeah. -The local bar.
The local bar, all right.
[Sabrina] Alex owns an awesome wine shop in Beverly called
the Bottle Shop. -And then these are the Kelseys.
Blonde Kelsey is my friend from childhood,
and this is her fiance, Kelsey.
So, I've heard about you two on the podcast, right?
-Most likely. -Yes.
[Sabrina] And then this is Payne, my partner who I own
the house with. -[Whitney] This is so nice.
Thank you.
I am so happy to have Sabrina and Corinne here in Salem.
And I definitely hope to make more friends
and hope to be more social,
which is something that I'm definitely out of
practice doing. -[Ashley] Is this a fire pit?
It is a fire pit, but we don't have firewood or starter.
-[Whitney] Great. -So it's just a centerpiece.
Just like you told me, this is gonna be a party with a lot
of single men, and there's no men or singles.
Alex, I have a bone to pick with you.
I asked Alex to bring single men, and he did not.
-[Whitney] Alex, what happened? -I don't really know any.
And also, you don't wanna date the guys that I actually
do know. -Everybody says that.
Every time I'm like, "Do you have a friend?"
They're like, "You wouldn't want 'em."
I mean, you're pretty picky.
The first time you came, and there was that really cute
guy at Gulu Gulu you should hit him up again.
I don't think he was of the heterosexual persuasion.
-I think you're scared of love. -[Whitney] No, no.
-I think you are. -That's not true.
-You find lots of reasons. -No, he wasn't straight.
[all laugh]
[Corinne] Maybe she meets a man up here. Nice, burly.
-Flannel. -A Flannel.
Yeah. A beard.
I don't know, what's her type? You tell us.
-We'll find him. -We'll find him.
-There's a lot of men in Boston.
-Yeah. -Lots of 'em.
Older dating pool too. She'll do better here.
I gotta go. Baby duty.
I love you.
-Well, now you live here. -I was gonna say, you'll see
her very soon.
[Sabrina] You've had a lot of romantic moments, you two.
[Whitney] There's something between us.
Forget men.
Maybe that's why she's finding excuses not to be with the men.
-Bye, Corinne. -[Corinne] Bye, guys.
I'll see you guys soon. We'll get together.
[Ashley] But have you, though, considered just like.
Enjoyed it? Oh, well yeah.
Just seeing how things could go with a woman.
Well, yeah, we know, I've considered it.
That was a long time ago, though.
[Whitney] That was.
I do prefer men, but I only had a shot at dating one woman
years ago who was a friend from, like,
high school, Amanda.
And that was really lovely.
I didn't feel like the timing was right,
but honestly, it's sad that I've only dated men since
because look at where that's gotten me.
[Kelsey] Well, if anyone needs an in to the lesbian scene,
just let us know.
[Whitney] And I probably -- no, honestly, I --
I would be interested.
Pop over to P-town one time this summer.
You never know.
I'm excited about the opportunity to start
somewhere fresh with a whole new dating pool.
And honestly, I don't think I would rule out dating women.
I mean, I never have ruled out dating women.
I just feel like the right one hasn't come along.
So...we'll see.
There may be a lot of life changes on the horizon.
-[Sabrina] You can stay here. -[woman] It's warm, right?
-This is warm. -Toasty vibes.
This is a warm vibe.
She's a hit with all the friends already.
I know.
And it's hard to, like, remain salty for me about it
because they are... -[Jessica] No, they're great.
...wonderful, but, like, I just feel like
she's never coming home.
Like, I mean, I wouldn't either.
-I barely wanna go home. -I know.
There's a big part of me that was, like, really sad that
she was leaving because I have been, you know, reliant on her,
and I know that is selfish of me to feel that way.
No, it's not. That's what friendship is.
Look, she's got a guest room.
I'm like, maybe it can include me.
Honestly, ever since we got in the car and started heading to
Salem, I've even felt a sense of excitement and, you know,
even a little bit of a calm come across me.
When life gets overwhelming, I think the idea of picking up
and starting over sounds really refreshing.
And everything back home just feels so complicated right now,
and things here don't feel complicated at all.
[Whitney] And I was just wondering where y'all were.
[Ashley] Sitting in here talking crap about you.
[Whitney] And that's clear.
Talking about how much we love you, really, though.
Aw.
I was just telling her how invaluable you've been since
Dad died. -[Ashley] Aw.
That you've been the biggest support system
I've had of anybody. -[Whitney] Well, thank you.
And how I'm really gonna miss that.
-Well, it's not going anywhere. -I know.
Before we get emotional, do y'all want to go
cut the cake? It's a homemade red velvet.
[Jessica] That's right up my alley.
Why are you looking at me like that?
'Cause I feel like this is gonna be one of the last
times I see you for a very long time. -No, it's not.
-What do you mean? -I love your new friends.
-I love them, too. -I know you do.
[Whitney] I have a very large heart, and inside of it, there is
enough room for all my Greensboro friends
and my new Salem friends. -[Sabrina] Here, do it with me.
-Like a wedding. -Like a wedding.
Oh, my God, a wedding. A wedding.
Wait, where are we doing it?
Don't you need to go down the middle?
Sure.
OK, we did it.
-[all cheer] -[laugh]
There is no one that can replace Ashley and Jessica
in my life.
But there may be some stiff competition.
-This is really good. -[Whitney] Humble too.
You are.
♪ Mmm ♪
[Whitney] Nobody's ever been as cute as you are.
There's never been anyone as cute as you are.
Look at Whitney.
[Jessica laughs]
Honestly, I would've expected her
to still have been in bed. -[Whitney] Goosey, want jog?
Goosey, want a jog?
Is she running? She's running.
-She's a whole new woman. -She just took off.
[Ashley] Oh, my God.
Weather like today would normally make me want to stay
inside the house, but I'm a new person.
Being here is making me want to get out along the beach
to go for a jog-slash-walk, a wog, if you will, with Goosey.
Go, girl!
I am coastal Whitney.
Oh.
-[Ashley] Well, well. -Good morning.
-Whitney Way walks. -Good morning.
Y'all looked like you were having the time of your lives.
Well, and weren't we? Come on here.
I'm gonna go Facetime my kids.
If y'all don't mind, I know you're talking about
breakfast or something. -We'll go when you get back.
All right.
[Whitney gasps]
Oh my God, y'all are gross.
-Look at how sweet you are. -[Jessica] OK.
Try my lobster...
pop.
Speaking of lobster, I had four lobster rolls last night
-Did you? -at the party.
I did.
Oh, I should send this to Sabrina.
Oh, my God.
You seem like you've already acclimated very well here.
-Mm-hmm. -Yeah.
-Feeling a little conflicted. -About what?
Just about...
um...
I don't know, a lot of things.
Being up here, this is kinda like...
the best I've felt in a long time.
[Whitney] Yeah?
And I don't know, it kinda makes me feel sad.
[Whitney] Like...
Like that I don't feel good at home.
Mm.
It's, like, a really scary thing to address, you know?
Life has just been, really heavy for me,
you know, with my business and the loss of my dad.
And I'm feeling a lot of pressure
in my marriage, you know, with my fertility journey,
so...
it just feels easier to be here than it does at home right now.
And I know that Isaiah is gonna be 100% supportive of me
and how I feel, but I just don't wanna disappoint him
by telling him that I just feel like I need a break.
[dramatic music playing]
I don't know. It kinda makes me feel sad.
[Whitney] Like...
Like that I don't feel good at home.
Mmm.
I feel like I have a lot of reasons to stay.
I just don't feel like they're my reasons, you know?
Like... -Mm-hmm.
...you know, the gym is obviously really
important to me. -Of course.
But it's important to me, because it was important
to my dad, you know? -Of course.
I feel like a lot of what's going on in my life,
I've done because I felt like other people... -That's what other --
...that's what other people expected
and wanted from me, you know?
Yeah.
It has been obvious to me that Jessica
has been going through it.
Obviously, she's still deeply grieving the loss of her dad.
And she's been struggling to conceive with Isaiah.
And I think that she's hurting.
And I just really wanna hear her out.
Honestly, I mean, I've been trying for three years.
I just don't know how much more I can take.
Yeah, I know.
Physically, and emotionally and mentally.
This infertility journey has been a huge struggle for me.
The trauma from losing two babies.
You know, we've continued trying ever since,
and haven't been able to conceive...
since my last miscarriage.
I feel like a lot of those emotions got put on
the back burner.
And, you know, since Dad died,
it just feels like it's all coming to the surface now.
I think it couldn't hurt to, I don't know, try something new
and just see how I feel, you know.
I have a bedroom. You are welcome here.
And no matter where you go physically, I'm with you.
But I would love it if you were here.
'Cause people need somebody to lean on sometimes.
I don't know.
It does feel good to be up here.
-You wanna just stay? -Maybe, for a little bit.
Just stay. Yeah, just stay.
-Maybe. -Yeah, girl.
I do have a lot of responsibilities still at home,
you know, to my husband, to my mom, to my business.
And I know that it kinda feels like just running away
from all of that.
But I feel like I just need to be able to breathe so that
I can reflect and make the right choices.
And I hope that...
Isaiah can understand that I just need some time to be able
to be happy and move on in a healthy, productive way.
Oh my God, are we really doing this?
I'm gonna have to make a lot of phone calls.
-Goosey got two mommies. -[Ashley] What?
-Goosey got two mommies? -[Whitney] Well, we have news.
I think I'm gonna stay here for a little bit.
I think that would be really good for you.
-Yeah? -Yeah.
-You don't think I'm crazy? -No.
Jessica obviously needs a shoulder to cry on
and someone to listen to her without judgment
and to validate that she can take her time to figure out what
it is exactly that she wants and needs.
And I wanna be that friend to her because she's always been
that kind of friend for me.
Let me see what you think about this.
So the kids are fine.
They were eating lunch at the science center.
So my cousin took them.
And my cousin's, like, best friend.
And she's a pretty overweight girl, just like her whole life.
And she got married a couple of years ago and was tryna
have kids and could not. And then she got on the GLP-1s
just for weight loss.
Dropped 40 pounds like that and then found out she was
pregnant and had to stop real quick 'cause she didn't get on
it to get pregnant. -Well, you can't.
I mean, you're not supposed to be on it if you're pregnant.
[Ashley] Apparently, her doctor said it was probably just that the shot
regulated her hormones and regulated her insulin.
Well, good for her.
Is that something you would even begin to consider?
Just doing a GLP-1?
Yeah, if it could help with the fertility.
Well...
GLP-1s are medication for type-2 diabetes,
but they are also very popular weight loss drugs.
And with PCOS, I deal with hormone imbalances,
weight issues, insulin resistance,
fertility problems obviously.
GLP-1s are supposed to help that,
and they're supposed to lower inflammation.
And that is exciting.
I'm not gonna say it's not.
That feels interesting to me.
So...
I don't know.
That's so fraught.
I mean, I would not think twice about it if it were to do
something medically to me that could help me get pregnant.
I wouldn't think anything of it.
Honestly, I've never even let myself consider it
because I felt like I wasn't really allowed to
'cause I will get [bleep] for it if I do it.
Anybody who wants to be upset about you being on a medicine
that's literally created for your demographic has this --
they're wrong.
I know, but it's just about people being fat.
And then, you know, it gives the impression that you no
longer want to be fat and that you're just doing it
for appearances. -Right.
You know, I know how it is when a fat person with a very
public profile who has not...
hated themselves for being fat loses weight,
whether intentionally or not.
I mean, they get ripped apart, and the last thing on earth
I would want is for a choice like going on a GLP-1, if that
would cause people to criticize me or question my motivations
because I've lived in this body and lived this identity
for 20 years, and it's been incredibly meaningful to me
and given me something to fight for.
And I would never abandon that ever.
That will never change. Never.
I have one more vial of sperm that I can have sent up here,
but I said I was done. So whatever.
Let's see what this thing, if I wasn't done, if I were to get
on a GLP-1, how long do I have to be on it?
And then, how long do I have to be off of it?
And then, how long before I can start trying?
'Cause, at that point, am I gonna be 45 or...?
[Jessica] It sounds like a question for your doctor.
If you're really open to it, I think it's worth
a conversation with a professional.
I'm gonna make an appointment because I have a really good...
online doctor that I use.
Would I consider taking a GLP-1 just to lose weight?
Probably not.
But would I consider a GLP-1 if it could help me get pregnant?
[intrigue music playing]
Yeah. Yeah, I would.
Does that make me a traitor to the body positivity movement?
I don't know what it means, but life is too short
to not...
pursue what I want in any way that I see fit.
Here's what I know, though.
You can't let any haters or anybody who would judge
you for being on a GLP-1 dictate the decisions that
you make for the betterment of your life and your future.
[bleep] that.
Now, your boyfriend wasn't jealous of me, was he?
'Cause I was feeling vibes.
[Sabrina] I mean, we were very romantic.
I will say, you really licked my fingers.
-[Whitney] I know. -You really got in there.
-[Ashley] Oh, my God, Whitney. -The cream cheese.
It was --
[Whitney] Come on, girl.
Goosey has her routes all ready.
[Ashley] Look, she's ready. Look at her perked up.
She loves her little routes.
But she's sad when the water--
Oh, see, Goosey, we've got some beach.
Goosey.
I'm already feeling kind of settled here in Salem.
Ashley's gonna head back tonight, but Jessica is
actually gonna stay with me for some time.
And Sabrina and Corinne are here to help us celebrate.
And for the first time in a long time, I feel that there
are so many good things are coming on the horizon.
This is the feeling that I want in my life going forward.
Now, your boyfriend wasn't jealous of me, was he?
'Cause I was feeling vibes.
I mean, we were very romantic.
And see, that's what I felt as well.
And I think that he might've picked up on that, and I don't
think he liked it. -Yeah, we haven't talked since.
-No, I'm just kidding. -[all laugh]
The pictures did look like backyard weddings.
They really did.
Of y'all cutting the cake, feeding each other.
[Sabrina] I'm gonna put it in the fridge.
I will say, you really licked my fingers.
-[Whitney] I know. -You really got in there.
-[Ashley] Oh my God, Whitney. -The cream cheese.
-I couldn't help myself. -It was sexual.
[Whitney] It was sexual. You look good.
-You look cowboy-beach. -Well.
[Corinne] You do.
[Jessica] You could take the girl out of the South.
-I mean, yes, you can. -Yes, you can.
Should we tell?
It's not like you're not gonna find out.
Well, I've decided I'm gonna stay.
-Here. -Yeah, I'm not gonna go home.
-[Whitney] In the bedroom, -So you guys have me for a little longer.
-Oh my God, so exciting. -So exciting.
-[Jessica] I know. -Why?
-What made you? -Just a lot of changes lately,
and it feels right to be here. -You just love us so much.
Yeah, and I love you guys, yes.
Now we just have you to convince, Ashley.
It wouldn't take much convincing, but I feel like
this is better anyway.
It's like two ladies who need new beginnings.
I'm just really excited about the future
and my life here in Salem.
However, even though I've left Greensboro, I made a lot of
really priceless memories.
[Whitney screams]
[Buddy imitating a plane]
[Whitney laughs]
Yeah are you getting that cream?
[Babs] I'm coming to it, sweetheart.
[Glenn] What's going on?
-Dad. -What are you doing?
We gotta work on some boundaries in this house.
We're moving out. We're moving out.
Move it, move it, move it, move it.
What are we moving to?
Out.
This is weird. I can't.
I'm just seeing a man that, like, understands me, you know?
You need to work on somebody who can stand you.
Ugh.
[Glenn] Oh, this is gonna be fun.
-[Whitney] Look at his face. -Oh.
Leaving Greensboro does feel like the end of an era for me.
-[Ashley] Yay! -[Whitney] You know what?
-what? -It's not scary.
-How do you feel? -I feel great.
I'm Baywatch.
[woman] Hit one, hit two, three, hit four, and swoop, swoop,
Ka-ka-ka!
[Whitney] I didn't dance for 12 years because I was
so embarrassed of myself.
I don't have the best technique in the world.
It's about a passion. And if you feel it,
you gotta bring it.
[doctor] It is time to start pushing.
-[Ashley] I'm shaking. -[all laugh]
[Whitney] There she is.
It's definitely bittersweet.
I'm leaving behind the love and support of my family
and my friends, which has been absolutely incredible.
[Todd] Am I doing it? Am I doing it?
[Whitney] Yeah, closer to the butt.
Go, mom. Go, mom.
-Go, mom. -[woman #2] Let's go.
[Whitney breathing heavily]
Look at that finish line, sweetheart.
[all cheer]
[Whitney] Oh, no, Jessica, Jessica,
[Jessica] I got you. Are you OK, girl?
-OK, OK. -OK.
[upbeat music playing]
-[mouthing] I love you. -[Glenn] I love you too.
[mouthing] Bless you.
Every piece of strength I ever had, Mom,
is from you.
[Jessica] You got it. You got it.
Nice job.
I love you.
[Whitney] Do not leave me.
-[Buddy] I'm not. -I'm on [bleep].
Yes. Yes!
[Whitney screams happily]
What now? What now?
Come at me! What now?
[Whitney screams and laughs]
-This journey continues. -It does.
-Au revoir. -[Babs] Au revoir.
You're supposed to tell me, "Bon voyage."
Bon voyage.
[Whitney] I'm going into a new phase of my life,
and I'm in my "Yes Era." I'm not saying no to anything.
I am going to embrace everything that life has
to offer me. -[Jessica] I like where we are.
-[Sabrina] I love where you are. -I just got my room set up.
-Come on. -[Whitney] I know.
Moving here feels like the best decision I've ever
made in my life.
It gives a sense of possibility, a sense of wonder,
a sense of happiness, and it might be a little scary,
but it's also exciting. -Let's go down.
-[Corinne] For a walk? -Yeah.
[Jessica] And isn't this just your favorite weather?
[Whitney] This is perfect for walking into a new life.
-Cuddle coven forever. -[Corinne] Sisters!
[Whitney] Sisters!
[all laugh]
