[Chelsea] She just sent the messages.
Here he is asking for pictures.
- And he was ignoring you this whole time? - Yeah.
Manuel is not who he said he was.
I feel like a complete idiot.
So, you're the infamous matchmaker, huh?
I hope maybe I can have an option with you.
[laughs] What am I doing?
I don't need to fall for another inmate.
[Isa] My life is pretty normal, then I met Devin.
He wants to speak to his mom, it's very important to him.
[Elaine] Before Devin got his time,
he probably wouldn't have been somebody you would've spoke to.
You know, people talk different when they're in jail,
and Devin is a sweet talker.
[Isa] I'm definitely worried about Devin
falling back into his old ways.
[Aluntra] I have a fiance, his name is Bryce.
After four whole years, he's finally coming home next week.
Bryce has been trying to keep the peace
between me and his family.
Nobody else put in any [bleep] effort...
They put in this much effort over this much time.
After four whole years,
he gets out in, like, an hour.
We're about to get to know each other
on a whole new level.
I feel so anxious.
If Bryce doesn't walk out of these doors soon,
I'm literally gonna die.
[dramatic music playing]
[Aluntra] I'm so excited for Bryce's release today.
It's been a long four years of prison
and being apart from Bryce.
Before I met Bryce,
I didn't have, like, a bunch of confidence
and I dealt with a lot of depression.
Bryce did help me love myself again and...
I think that's another reason why I love him,
is because the way he loves me.
I just can't wait for him to walk out of those doors
and us to finally start our life together.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Bryce speaking]
[Aluntra speaking]
Are you all right?
[chuckles]
I feel so relieved.
That breath I've been holding the entire four years,
I can finally exhale,
and I'm just ready for this new chapter in our lives.
[laughs]
I'm happy to see you.
[Bryce] Man, I'm feeling mind blown.
Man, I waited a long time for this.
I still can't believe it.
You know, now I'm getting a shot to be out here, be free,
be an adult, you know.
Pretty excited, man.
[Aluntra speaking]
[Bryce] My life before Aluntra, like, it was just me, you know.
Like, yeah, people are around, but I never really felt like I had nobody.
And now I got Aluntra
and then it makes you wanna do
them good things and do better.
[Bryce speaking]
[Aluntra] Bryce doesn't know that I'm about to take him
to a surprise lunch with his family.
I'm home, baby.
- Yes. - God, it's amazing.
I'm a little nervous, because his mom and I,
we don't always see eye to eye.
His mom wants to come up there with me to get him,
and I was like, "Hell no." I've earned that moment.
Even though I feel like
this is an important day for me,
I just want him to see everybody
and just enjoy his first day home.
[upbeat music playing]
[woman] Hello, this is a prepaid debit call from...
[Michael] This is Michael.
[woman] An inmate at the [bleep] institution.
[Chelsea] So, Michael and I have been talking non-stop every day
for the past few weeks.
And it's kind of blossomed into something
more than just friendship.
[Michael speaking]
Hello, how are you?
[Michael speaking]
I love love. I wanna be in love.
And it may not have been the right person with Manuel,
but it could be the right person with Michael.
We have really good conversations
and really great chemistry.
There's something about the bad boy in prison
that I am attracted to.
I wanna see if I can tame him.
[Michael speaking]
Me? I'm laying in bed.
[Michael speaking]
Yeah.
[Michael speaking]
Yeah, it is.
You're not gonna know how to act
until you're in a real bed.
[Michael speaking]
Oh, a pillow fight?
I was talking about sleeping. What you're talking about?
[Michael speaking]
Let's talk about, um, you getting out.
[Michael speaking]
You need me?
[Michael speaking]
Hmm.
You should officially ask me to be your girlfriend.
Things are going real well with Michael.
I wanna pick him up.
But I'm not doing that
unless we're officially boyfriend and girlfriend.
It's a big deal. I wanna make sure I'm doing it
for somebody I'm in a relationship with,
not just my home boy.
[Michael speaking]
Officially, I will.
- [Michael speaking] - Yeah.
Michael is my boyfriend officially.
To, you know, to be in a relationship with somebody in prison,
it's the same as it is out here.
You're just... You still want them to woo you or whatever.
And then, um, you know, ask you officially
to be theirs.
Guess what, I'll come be there when you get out.
[Michael speaking]
No, I'm serious.
[Michael speaking]
Aw.
I'm very excited to have sex with Michael.
Yeah. Prison penis.
It's like a thing.
I don't know if you've heard about it.
It means we'll have non-stop sex for days.
You won't hear from me.
Don't come knocking.
[upbeat music playing]
Hey, guys.
So, um, I just got back
from, you know, hanging out with my friends
and running some errands today.
By the time I did get home,
I saw that Devin did call me,
and I didn't realize it,
and now, I don't know if he's gonna call me back.
So, I sent him a message, saying,
"Hey, how are you? Just thinking about you."
I do have a lot of feelings for him.
I feel like I hit the jackpot with this guy.
He has a really big heart, and he's really warm,
and, you know, he has so much ambition in life.
I do think about
us seeing face to face all the time.
I get nervous, I kind of get, like, these little butterflies.
I miss him, like, every time I think about that moment.
And I don't really wanna
mess anything up.
[upbeat music playing]
[Aluntra] I just can't believe... I've never been in a car with you.
[laughs] That is so funny.
I have never been in a car with you.
It's gonna feel so weird when we go to bed.
That's gonna be crazy.
You better.
I think that people will look at our relationship
and assume that we don't really know each other,
because we haven't gotten a chance
to live in the same house or be out in public together.
But we've pretty much learned
anything there is to know about each other
mentally and emotionally.
So, we're, like, super connected.
I just feel like I can't wait to see what the future holds.
You better not ever do that [bleep] again.
- Ever. Go to prison. - Whoo.
[Aluntra] Over the last four years,
dating Bryce in prison,
I've sacrificed my time, my sanity, intimacy.
People thinking I'm crazy.
Bryce needs to know that if he went back to prison,
I would feel hurt, confused,
and just lost.
I'm not bringing my kids to no prison.
We need to have a conversation. You down?
[Bryce] I've only been out for ten minutes
and Aluntra's already on my ass.
In a way, it's kind of a little...
You know what I mean? Aggravating.
But I understand it, though, you know,
because, like, she just went through these four years,
that's kind of traumatizing, so I kind of expect her
to react like that.
I really do need to have this important talk with Bryce,
but right now, he's about to see his family
and I want him to be in a good mood for it.
He's gonna have a surprise lunch party.
I'm so excited, like I could cry.
[Phoenix] I think I might cry.
This whole day, it has felt unreal,
like, this is not even happening.
[Scott] I didn't visit him,
that was a deal we made when he got locked up.
I couldn't see him in that kind of way.
I told him he had to man up, do the time for it,
take responsibility, own it.
So, I'm real anxious to see him in person,
see how he's developed into a man.
He's been locked up four and a half years almost, he's different.
[Scott] He's a free spirit, man,
and being pinned down like that,
you know, that was the hardest thing for me.
I couldn't go see him like that.
[Aluntra] Because his parents didn't visit him much,
and his siblings, they had their own lives,
so the whole four years, I was his main support system.
But everybody really wants to see him,
especially his mom.
I just hope that he's happy about it
and not too overwhelmed.
[upbeat music playing]
[Aluntra] Thanks, baby. [chuckles]
Oh, my God, they're actually right there.
Oh, I see them, I see them, I see them, I see them.
- [screams] - [Bryce laughs]
Oh, look at you, look at you.
- Look at your big ass. - What up, man?
Yo, what's up, pops?
Damn, man, it's all right.
[Bryce] I made it, man.
Like a man.
Hey, bro.
- I miss you, fool. - Uh, I missed you, too, man.
Damn, man, what's up, guys?
[Aluntra] How do you feel?
Like I'm in a dream.
- I'm super happy, babe. - [Aluntra] Yeah.
I'm mind blown, like... Yeah, I'm still surprised.
- Really? - Yes. [chuckles]
[Ethan] So, you got your vows written down yet?
- You thought about them and stuff? - I've been thinking about...
I'm putting them together like puzzle pieces, man.
It's gotta be... Mwah.
- Man, she held me down, man, four years. - [Phoenix] For real.
I've been saying that all day.
Her whole life been on hold for me.
Aluntra showed me what a true support system is by, you know what I mean,
sticking with me through the hard times
and my family wasn't always around.
I feel like maybe growing up,
I didn't get as much of that love that I was looking for, maybe.
My heart kind of felt empty sometimes,
you know, like more than most.
I mean, the household was abusive, or there was addiction,
or it was DHS involved in just...
In everyone's business.
I got expelled in eighth grade
for selling pills, you know.
Well, I was doing it, because I needed new shoes,
I needed... I needed a new shirt.
But meeting Aluntra, she did make me wanna do better.
Her love truly saved my life.
She kept me out of a lot of trouble.
I know I got into a lot of trouble.
- Yeah. - But she kept me out of a lot of trouble.
[Scott] So, what got you in the most trouble
while you were locked up in there,
just being bored and wanted to do [bleep]
[Bryce] It was different situations, you know.
[Scott] Well, I understand you gotta defend yourself.
I was probably the aggressor a couple of times.
That's just how it is in there, man.
You feel like an animal in a cage and they're just poking you, man.
And sometimes you have those days.
[Aluntra] Bryce is the love of my life,
but I do worry about Bryce's temper.
Especially because he's gonna be
in real life situations now.
If he ended up back in prison
or back in the same lifestyle that he used to live,
I will be gone.
I could never do another bid again.
[Bryce] A toast to freedom and a new beginning, man.
- [Scott] New beginning. - [woman] Whoo! Whoo-hoo!
[upbeat music playing]
It's been almost like a week
since me and Devin have spoken.
He's really sick, yes.
Um, which is why we haven't spoken to each other,
but he still sends me emails, all the time.
He sent me an email, asking me for $25,
and I gave it to him.
And then again, he proceeded to ask me for more money
for food and cough medicine.
I really do care about him, but it kind of throws me off
because I'm like, "What are you doing with the money?"
And he needs so much, like, every other day.
I'm just... I don't have like,
you know, money to give out like that.
You know, I wish I could, but, like, I don't.
So, it's just, like, really been hitting me
and I'm just like, "Should I just do it?"
But I don't know.
[upbeat music playing]
- [Chelsea] Hi. - [Isa] Hi, Chelsea.
- How are you? - [Chelsea] I'm good.
- How are you? - I'm okay. [chuckles]
You're okay? You're kind of... Seem subdued today.
I'm gonna talk to Chelsea today,
she's the prison matchmaker,
about Devin asking me for money.
I don't know if that's normal in the prison world.
So, I hope that Chelsea could give me some advice
on what to do.
[Chelsea] How are things with Devin?
What's new with him?
[Isa] I just wanted to get some answers.
I don't... I don't know anything.
[Chelsea] So you need some advice?
What kind of advice do you need?
[Isa] Well, recently, like, um,
Devin has been asking for money.
[Chelsea] So he asked you a few times for money?
[Isa] Yes, twice.
[Chelsea] I need to look out for my clients,
and that's a big red flag.
You ask your family for money,
not your girlfriend.
Does he give you a reason why he wants you
to send him money or...
He says that he needs it for commissary
and for cough medicine.
I don't know if I should give him
the benefit of the doubt.
[Chelsea] These relationships with inmates,
um, require a lot more trust
than just like your regular... He...
You know, you're not there in front of him
to see really what he's doing,
who he's talking to,
what the money is being used for.
He could be doing something else, he could be buying drugs or gambling.
I am absolutely shocked.
She made me worry much more,
because I don't know, like, if he's doing drugs, alcohol.
He's a grown man and he's in prison,
well, and you shouldn't feel obligated...
- Mmm-hmm. - To take care of him.
You're not his mama, you're his girlfriend.
Yeah. If I were in your shoes,
I wouldn't send him any more money.
[upbeat music playing]
[Chelsea] My mom has no idea that Manuel and I are done.
And I haven't told her anything about Michael.
- The water looks really pretty. - I know.
I am really nervous to tell her that
I've jumped right back in
after just getting burned.
[Suz] How's everything going with Manuel?
Um, well, here's the thing,
Ashley went undercover and catfished him.
And found out that there was other people.
I made an account to see if Manual would answer.
He basically said he was single.
What the hell?
[Suz] So that's what I was worried about.
We just don't know him.
And you did kind of taken up with him,
and made him part of your life,
which makes him part of our life.
And that's what I was worried about.
[Suz] I am so relieved that it didn't work out.
She's my daughter, and I was really uncomfortable
knowing that she's dating a prisoner.
Matchmaking is one thing,
but being in an actual relationship with a prisoner,
that's a totally different thing.
[Chelsea] I don't hate what happened.
I'm just glad I learned from it
- and moved forward. - [Suz] Yeah.
- Well, I'm glad. - [Chelsea] Yeah.
I'm glad for a lot of reasons.
[Chelsea] My mother is completely in the dark
and has no idea about Michael.
Since learning of this and talking to some of the inmates,
there's, uh, like, one in particular,
um, that I was originally wanted to try match him with someone.
And I did, like, video visits with him
and talking all the time
as friends, but...
[scoffs]
I can see the look on your face,
you're about to tell me something,
so spit it out, girl.
She's gonna be mad.
[upbeat music playing]
[Chelsea] My mom, she wants me to date
a respectful man on the street.
So when I tell her I'm now
in a relationship with Michael,
another inmate, she's not gonna take it well.
We'd talked for super long time
after everything with Manuel.
Um, but it's gotten to the point now
that it's, like, it's more than friends.
Don't tell me this.
I can hear my mother saying,
"She's jumping out of the frying pan
into the fire.
I think she's lost her mind
to jump into another relationship.
This is what she always does,
she falls fast, and she falls hard,
and I think it's gonna go south.
[Chelsea] His name is Michael.
I talk to him every single day.
He's smart and he's funny.
And how long has he been in there?
He's been in for four years and...
- Nothing violent? - No, nothing violent.
- And when is he getting out? - Soon.
Like, we're talking days, weeks, months, years. What?
[Chelsea] In, like, two weeks.
Oh, my God.
[Chelsea] And I'm gonna be there at the gate.
[Suz] I actually can't believe that she's flying there
to meet somebody that she's only video chatted with.
I think this is a horrible decision.
It's too soon, too fast.
I'm highly disappointed.
I'm worried.
I just don't want anybody being brought into our lives
that's not right,
you know, that's not trustworthy.
I just wanna know that I want you
to be really careful, really careful,
because we're talking about the safety of your family
- and your children, right? - Yup.
Nobody has a heart like you do.
Mmm-hmm.
And you're putting your heart out there,
and it's kind of dangerous.
She's always wanting to help people,
this is her nature.
But it's just more than Chelsea involved
in this whole situation.
She has children, we have a family.
Are we gonna be safe?
How can she bring a total stranger
into our life and not know anything about him?
That's concerning and crazy.
[upbeat music playing]
I had a dream that Devin robbed me in my dream
and that, like,
he wanted my phone
and he put gun to my head, to my face.
And I was like, "Do you know who you're robbing?
Like, why me?"
And I just remember my... In my dream,
I was just in tears.
It just shows that...
Should I trust him? I don't know.
Hello. Hello, friend. [chuckles]
Bria is my best friend from college.
And after talking to Chelsea,
I need to ask her opinion
on what she thinks about the whole money situation.
So, recently, Devin,
he's been asking for, like, money.
[Bria speaking]
[Isa] I spoke to Chelsea,
like, she was, like... Um, I can't send him money.
[Isa] He says that he doesn't do drugs,
like he left that a long time ago.
[Bria speaking]
[Isa] He said commissary.
[Bria speaking]
Devin used to sell drugs
and that's what he got into trouble.
And my biggest worry
is that he hasn't changed
and that he's going back to his old ways.
Not only is he involved in something illegal...
- [Bria speaking] - you know,
like this could... That could be potentially hurt me.
[Isa] This was not supposed to, like,
- escalate to that, you know. - [Bria speaking]
Like, this was not supposed to happen.
The hardest part about dating an inmate,
it takes a lot to really trust him.
I don't like awkward conversations,
I don't like arguments, but Bria is right,
I have to confront Devin about this.
To talk about where all my money is going to.
Why does this gotta fall on me?
[Bria speaking]
[Sia] What I'm scared of
is what if he's a fraud.
[upbeat music playing]
Guess who got a letter from their boyfriend?
He's so sweet.
He talks about walking on the beach,
holding hands.
Hmm, him buying me a ring one day, what?
To heading to Vegas to get married, hmm.
He says he fell in love with a queen.
He has nothing but respect for me.
He's so freaking cute.
I was stupid excited to get it.
Hey.
Hey, baby. How are you doing?
I'm good. How are you?
I'm good.
[Chelsea] I like your little hoody.
You like it? I designed it myself.
[Chelsea laughing]
I can't wait to see Michael in person.
I talk to him all the time.
I love to talk to him.
But seeing him in person,
I'm really excited.
- I keep, like... - [Michael] What...
stressing out, like, in...
Like, getting out clothes,
thinking, "Oh, I'm gonna take this."
And then I put it back and...
I can't sleep at night,
I keep tossing and turning just thinking,
uh, I'm about to be home.
And on top of it,
I get to actually hang out with the matchmaker
and potentially have a bright future ahead of us.
Mmm-hmm. I think so, too.
Hmm, I can't wait to snuggle. [chuckles]
I wanna be intimate with Michael.
I do.
We've been together long enough
and built this amazing friendship and relationship
that I'm ready for the physical aspect of it.
Well, listen, I want you to understand something.
I'm going to be celibate.
Why? You're an adult.
- Like, are you for real? - [Michael] I know, but
I want more out of life than just worried
about having sex.
I wanna figure out what's going on.
You know, just get to know you a little bit better,
face-to-face in reality.
Instead of behind a screen.
Anytime you rush into relationship
and have sex with someone,
instantly sometimes it's just...
It doesn't work out too well.
So, I just wanna make sure that we're established.
We both know what we want out of life.
Are you talking about like... That we're gonna...
we're gonna wait to have sex?
Like, for how long?
I mean, you haven't had sex in four years.
I know, so why wait...
Why not wait a day, or a month, or another year?
You know, it's a respect thing for myself.
[Chelsea] I'm, like, crushed.
Why wouldn't you wanna have sex?
You've been locked up for four years.
Like, am I not good enough?
Is it because I'm older?
It... It's not sitting well with me.
You burst my bubble. I was gonna come up there
and gonna lay it on you.
It's very disappointing.
I mean, it's... I have to respect that,
because that's your decision,
but it doesn't mean I have to like it.
Well, thank you for respecting my decision.
[Chelsea] Yeah, you're welcome.
I appreciate that.
[Chelsea] I think I'll lay in my bed
and think about abstinence.
- Well, uh... - [Chelsea] Just kidding.
[Michael] I have to go work out.
[Chelsea] Okay. You have fun with that.
Bye, my queen.
[Chelsea] All right. Bye, babe.
[upbeat music playing]
[Aluntra] This is me and Bryce's
first morning together,
and the fact that he's living with me now,
and out of prison,
it's like an indescribable, like, feeling.
Like, I still feel like
I'm on clouds, or like, kind of, like,
everything's like fog, like I'm dreaming or something.
[Bryce] Hey, what's up, baby?
Smells good in here.
I'm making you some breakfast.
- Ooh-wee. - [Aluntra] Smells good?
Hmm, top of the morning, yeah.
- Good morning. - Just one more?
Mmm-hmm.
Yeah.
Last night got a little R-rated.
Me and her have been looking forward to this, four years.
It just... It just feel like our souls are dancing.
I'm hungry, I know that. That smells so good.
[Aluntra] Good.
It wasn't what I was expecting.
You think about a man getting out of the prison,
you would think that it's gonna be, like,
quick.
It wasn't quick,
it exceeded my expectations,
that's what I'll say.
[Bryce] What'd you think when you woke up
this morning and you wasn't alone?
[Aluntra] You know, the thing is I felt,
like, instantly comfortable.
- Like, natural? - [Aluntra] Yeah.
Right now, me and Bryce are in the honeymoon phase,
but I do worry sometimes that after that stage is over,
he's gonna start hanging out with the wrong crowd
and end up going back to his old ways.
I'm not bringing my kids to no prison.
We need to have that conversation.
It's a big fear of mine and I need Bryce to know
that I'm not putting up with that [bleep].
People come home, they can change.
I don't want you to get overwhelmed,
and then you get under pressure,
and then you start thinking
in ways you don't need to be thinking.
I mean, honestly, anything can happen,
but it's how your choices and decisions are, baby.
So in order for that to happen,
I got to make that decision in my head,
like, "Oh, this is too hard,
so this is where I'm going to."
[Aluntra] My whole future pretty much depends
on him staying out of prison.
If me and Bryce are gonna plan on having kids,
I need to be able to trust
that he's gonna be around
to be a good dad.
Having a kid,
what you think about that?
What you mean?
I don't know. I just want my kids
to have structure and stability.
I feel like that's how you raise a successful person.
If they're not good at home,
they're gonna go find people like, you know, you.
I don't want my kids to be [bleep] up.
I just want you to understand.
I understand.
I feel like if anything,
my childhood kind of showed me
what type of father I wanna be,
because I wouldn't wanna see that
for Aluntra and our children.
I know I made mistakes in the past,
but I just really need Aluntra
to just have that faith in me
and just show me some empathy, man.
Show me some understanding.
You know where I'm coming from,
I'm a different person now.
It seemed like she's kind of struggling with it.
Now, I feel like you gotta work on believing me, babe.
And I'm telling you that we're a team now.
As long as we are on the same page.
I feel like we are.
[Aluntra] All that prison stuff...
[Bryce] Behind us.
You don't ever do that again.
But we can't forget it, though.
We got to remember where we came from.
- Don't ever do that again. - [Bryce] Never.
- You can't do it again. - [Bryce] I know.
I'm gonna do my best.
- [Aluntra] Yeah? - Yeah.
[upbeat music playing]
[Isa] I need to confront Devin today,
no matter how much I don't want to, but I need to,
to talk about where all my money is going.
He tells me that it's for food
and cough medicine, because he did tell me
that he was feeling sick.
But it's hard to believe him, because he's an inmate.
I don't wanna give Devin money
if I'm supporting a bad habit.
[woman] Hello, this is a prepaid call from...
[Devin] Devin.
[woman] An inmate at the [bleep] institution.
- [Devin speaking] - Hi. How are you?
[Devin speaking]
[Isa] You do sound weak.
[Devin speaking]
Devin?
[Devin speaking]
[Isa] Uh, so the money, um...
You know, I just wanna make sure
that it is going towards commissary.
[Devin speaking]
[Isa] Well, I don't know what goes on there.
And sometimes it's hard to date someone in prison.
[Devin speaking]
Okay.
Trust for me is a really big deal.
So if we're gonna be in a relationship,
we have to be able to trust each other.
- I don't want you to be sick, okay? - [Devin] Okay?
And skinny. So I'm gonna send you $35.
[Devin speaking]
And you're very welcome.
I know that Bria and Chelsea did not want me
to give my money to Devin,
but I trust Devin's word.
I just think about myself in his shoes.
I would want somebody to send me money.
I would want snacks.
I would want good cough medicine.
He's my boyfriend
and I really wanna help him.
But I really hope I'm not making the biggest mistake
of my life by trusting him.
[upbeat music playing]
[Jonathan] So excited to get you
some sexy, sexy, sexy clothes for your trip.
I know. Me too.
Jonathan and I have a little lingerie trip planned.
But what Jonathan does not know
is that Michael wants to remain celibate.
I wanna be prepared in case he changes his mind
and does wanna have sex with me.
So, I need cute outfits.
Hopefully, it's not a wasted trip.
[Jonathan] These bodysuits...
[Chelsea] I like bodysuits. I mean...
[Jonathan] You want that girls outfit?
- [Chelsea] Yeah. - Have you talked to him
about, like, what he's into?
Um, sort of.
- Sort of. - What do you know?
- Sort of. - You're acting kind of scared
- and nervous. - You don't know
what your man wants?
I really want Jonathan's good advice
on this whole weird situation
because ever since Michael told me,
it's all I can think about and I can't quit.
So, one thing that you don't know...
- [Jonathan] Mmm-hmm. - Is that Michael
wants to take things slow
and us work on us.
I mean, that's good.
[Chelsea] Uh, meaning he wants to remain celibate
- for a while. - What?
- Yeah. - So, like, no sex
- when you go pick him up? - Yeah.
Like, he wants to be celibate.
I'm hoping this is gonna tempt him to want to.
Oh, my God.
The fact that Michael wants to be celibate
when he gets out of prison after being locked up
for four years,
maybe he's just not that into her.
So he's, like, wanting to have an escape route
by setting himself up for,
"Oh, just I wanna be celibate."
That would really like,
break her heart.
There's nothing wrong with being celibate
if both parties involved feel that way.
I don't feel like that's what you're looking for.
[Chelsea] No.
You made him very aware of that?
[Chelsea] Yes, he knows.
[Jonathan] At this point, does it make you feel like
- you're wasting your time? - Uh, it did.
And it also made me concerned
when he first said that he was,
like, using me for entertainment.
- Do you know what I mean? - [Jonathan] Mmm-hmm.
Like, because I just went through
all that crap with Manuel.
[Jonathan] And now it's, like, hitting him.
- He's getting out. - And now, here he is
getting out and he's, like, on me...
This full grown, beautiful woman
- about to come pick him up... - [Chelsea] And...
and... [tongue clicks]
He doesn't want have sex. That's weird.
That's weird, right?
Of course, I respect Michael's decision
if it's really about building a stronger relationship.
But I feel like we already have that connection.
I'm starting to question
whether or not Michael is just using me.
I really hope not,
because I feel like what we have is real.
I feel like he's, like, maybe scared.
And he's afraid that he's not gonna be able to,
like, perform or do it well.
So, really you're gonna have to take the reins
- and rock his world. - [Chelsea] Mmm-hmm.
I hope that Jonathan is right about Michael
that he's just scared maybe.
I would hate to fly all the way there
to be made a fool of.
I feel like this is, like, a ballet.
[Jonathan] So you're gonna walk in the room...
I can tell that she's like...
she's like wanting to be in love with this person.
This isn't just like, um,
like a friendship.
She likes him and I want...
I want him to like her.
And I don't know if he does.
[Chelsea] I'm good to start with these
and then we'll just see what happens,
- then we go from there. - [Jonathan] Okay.
[upbeat music playing]
Hey, guys.
About the money, I know you guys
are all wondering like,
"Isa, is he ever going to pay you back?"
I have an answer.
I don't know.
The more and more I think about it,
like I'm young, I work, you know.
I can gain the money back.
You know, he's a very important man to me
and, you know, and I don't wanna be cheap.
Bye.
[upbeat music playing]
[Bria] I'm happy to be outside.
I'm happy to be outside, too, after, like, a while.
Yeah.
[Bria] What's going on with Devin?
So I gotta tell you something.
I haven't spoken to Bria in a while
and I haven't filled her in
about anything Devin related.
I don't think Bria is gonna be too happy
that I gave Devin the money.
So, like, you know, like the whole Devin situation...
- Mmm-hmm. - With the money situation,
you know, we talked about it.
You know, he was sick and I feel bad.
Like, I did, like, send him money.
I know that you're a very kind person and you're generous,
and you like to care for people.
I'm just not sure if this is the person
you should be taking care of.
I just feel like it's so early on.
So why would he be asking her for money?
And I understand that there are things that he needs,
but that's needs that he should be asking
his family for and not Isa.
Well, I have a soft spot for him.
[Bria] You have to remember,
this is a person that you haven't met yet.
He's in a completely different space than you're in,
like you're about to graduate soon
and he's about to get out of prison.
Like, I don't see you guys operating on,
like, the same field right now.
I do think Isa deserves better.
I know she's such a bright person,
and she's so kind, and she has so much going for her,
and I see her with somebody who is in a different
situation than Devin.
At what point do you say like,
"I don't know if this is the right decision"?
[Isa] I don't know, but I feel like
there's something.
[Bria] At the end of day, Isa, I just don't want you
to get taken advantage of.
Bria is definitely worried
that he's not the man who he says he is.
But I made up my mind,
like I'm gonna... I'm gonna stick beside him.
Obviously, I'm gonna be super nervous and worried for you.
[Isa] I guess so.
[dramatic music playing]
It's me,
in case you didn't know,
I'm so excited.
And this is beautiful here
and there's freaking snow.
And I am, like,
freaking freezing.
Like, it's super cold.
But I got a fire going
and I'm, like, sitting on a couch.
And I'm just gonna chill here
all day tomorrow and just wait
for Sunday morning.
I feel like I'm on this emotional roller-coaster
with him after having our conversation on celibacy.
But I'm hoping that when he walks out of the gates,
and I see him, and he hugs me
that we have some sort of physical connection already
or I'm just gonna be crushed.
[woman] Turn left into the parking lot,
then arrive at your destination.
[Chelsea] I'm excited,
but I'm thankful first.
I'm also really nervous.
This moment is what I've been thinking about
and dreaming about.
Even though I'm the prison matchmaker,
I've never picked up a boyfriend before from prison.
So this is all a first for me.
I am...
I just want to be supportive for him.
To keep him on the right path,
help him stay straight,
and out of trouble.
My heart is beating fast.
I just can't wait to touch him.
He should walk out the gates, like, any minute.
I have questions and concern,
what is life gonna be like now that he's out.
Is he gonna be dedicated to me?
Is he gonna try to strive for this future
that we've created in our conversations?
Or just like Manuel, is it all just a sham?
And Scarlett shot a person twice.
[Scarlett speaking]
[man] We haven't even got to the shooting yet
and it's already crazy.
[man] My advice to you,
sever all ties.
- Hmm, it's our first date. - I know.
[Jonathan] Do you think that you love him?
Hi. We're wanting to get each other's names.
- [man] Name tattoos. - [Michael] Yes.
This is our second date. Why not?
[Ethan speaking]
Hearing this is just killing me, man.
I felt like the cause of his problem kind of...
[Aluntra] This what I was worried about.
Bryce's family sucking him back in to their problems.
You cannot save everybody.
Kids and wife, we're right here.
Family down here.
[man] Yolanda is finally out of prison.
This will be the first time that we talk to each other
face-to-face.
What would be the first thing
you would wanna do when we meet?
[Yolanda] I wanna experience going to a live NBA game,
- somewhere in New Orleans. - [woman] If you ask me,
that's a sign of a gold digger.
