[♪ tense music playing]
We're not friends?
What the fuck is going on?
What the fuck? You just said that to me,
that you don't feel like we're friends.
Okay, then, fuck you!
Holy shit!
[♪ dramatic music playing]
[Jen] To be honest, I'm not surprised
with the way that Whitney's acting right now.
And this has just reconfirmed to me why I have kept my distance.
Mikayla, will you just talk to me and just--
Did I do something-- Like, genuinely--
-[Layla] What happened? -If so...
[Jen] Therapy's expensive.
I'm gonna send Whitney my bill after this conversation.
[Taylor] When did she tell you?
Uh, Zac told me last week.
[Taylor] Oh! And you just haven't said anything?
And I just haven't texted.
I've told her in person, but she's upset that I didn't tell her...
-[Layla] When you knew? -...when I knew.
If someone posts, I'm literally terrified to not comment on somebody's post,
because I feel like we have this expectation now of,
if I'm not like showing complete-- And it's probably that.
I mean, I don't wanna hear it, like it's my fault.
[Layla] This Whitney and Jen drama definitely makes me feel like
I'm back at the CMA drama from last year.
[Taylor] I posted about my CMAs,
not a single one of my friends from MomTok said a single thing about it or commented.
To hear nothing, like, what the fuck?
I think all the cool opportunities we're getting are great,
but I also think it has the potential
to pull us away from why we're in MomTok to begin with,
and make us lose sight of the genuine friendships.
It's hard to balance it all,
but if we don't have our friendships, what is this all for?
I-- I see where Whitney's upset,
but to be honest, I don't feel like our friendship has been genuine.
To be honest, I think it's very much been transactional and fake.
And I feel like, in order to protect my energy,
I've been just being cordial this whole time,
because I don't have the time or-- And none-- none of us do.
There's a lot of competition and jealousy between Whitney and Jen right now,
and that's where this is all stemming from.
But MomTok does not need to be dealing with this right now.
As we kind of grow in popularity, we're getting more and more offers,
like Taylor with The Bachelorette coming up.
And when we start getting more exposure and more opportunities,
I do worry it may drive us apart.
[Jen] It's-- It's all transactional.
She's saying like, I don't care about her.
I'm like, "You don't care about any of us either.
You only came back for Dancing with the Stars."
I am feeling, like, so heated right now.
I don't even know if people are backing me up
or people backing Jen up.
But if there is one thing that I have learned being a part of this group
is that something is bound to happen,
but the show must go on.

After finding out about Dakota and Shinia, I feel completely fucked over.
And not only that, but I am on empty.
This is not the headspace I wanted to be walking into The Bachelorette.
I think it was very deliberate.
I need to start packing, though, so I'm gonna grab my suitcases.
I mean, Dakota knew what this would do. He's not fucking stupid.
[groans] It's just-- It's-- Yeah. It sucks.
Hi!
[gasps] Oh, yep, get on in. You going with me, huh?
What d'you-- What's your expectations? Are you nervous?
It's okay to be nervous. I'm nervous for you.
I don't have any. I don't have any going in.
That way, it's like, whatever happens is gonna happen.
There's a part of me that even wonders if I'm capable of doing this
given the recent events.
And then there's another part of me that's like,
"Well, you already said you're gonna do it,
you need to do it, so pull through."
So kinda very chaotic in the head, for sure.
Which is no secret to anybody, I guess, at this point.
I'm so excited for you.
This is gonna be something, like, so fun,
and challenging, and emotional too.
And I just hope that you can--
[Jeremy] Yeah, are you gonna be able to handle the emotional ride?
Honestly, like, I can't imagine more chaos than I'm already living, so...

[Zac] Good morning.
Good morning.
What's up? How are you feeling?
[sighs] I need to stay off of my phone.
Yeah, you really need to stay off social media right now.
[Jen] Yeah.
[Zac] I know you cried most of the night.
Last night, I got eliminated,
and to be honest, I am devastated and very much surprised.
[host] The couple going home is...
[♪ suspenseful music playing]
...Jen and Jan.
Just like-- It's like a pit in my stomach, like--
Dreamt of this moment, like, my whole life.
And the fact that it's like over just like that, it just...
it feels just, like, weird.
Yeah, the positives even hurt more 'cause it's like those memories and--
Yeah.
[Zac] You can be sad, but you also-- You have to be proud of yourself
'cause you wanted to inspire people and you've accomplished that.
You did this eight weeks postpartum.
I'll never forget, like, finishing my dance and looking over--
looking over at you and Nora...
[crying] ...and just seeing how proud you were.
-I really gave it my all. -Yeah, you gave your heart to it,
and you have to be proud of that.
Oh, man, I think I'm still trying to process.
Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
You're right. I should be proud of myself.
[Jen sighs]
Whitney has been blowing up my phone.
Apparently, she wants to have a conversation, which is--
You think she wants to apologize for how she yelled and screamed at you or?
No.
Think she wants to apologize for laughing when you got eliminated?
No.
[influencer] Okay, fam, it looks like Whitney is laughing
when Jen gets kicked off.
Do you think that she's happy she's safe,
or do we think that she's actually happy to see Jen going home?
Hit me up in the comments. Let me know what you think.
I think she's worried about--
She's thinking about her, and being in the competition,
and she didn't like what I had to say on live,
and so, I'm sure she's--
-Oh, about you not voting for her? -Yeah.
And I would be rooting for a former MomTok person,
but we won't get into it.
Okay, we'll end this live now.
Oh! I'm out of this chat.
Whitney only cares about Whitney and her not getting eliminated,
and she knows that I hold power when it comes to that
just because if I say anything more, it could hurt her.
[Whitney] Hello, um...
I just wanna apologize for overreacting and yelling.
Still gonna say hi to you when I see you at the studio
and wish you luck, um...
But yeah, I just wanted to say sorry for treating you that way.
[Jen] She knows she effed up. You wanna act like everything's okay?
I'm tired of being fake.
And I've done that a lot, and I'm tired of doing that,
and I'm not doing that anymore.
And if that means the whole group is against me
because I'm not friends with Whitney who's currently popular
and that's a cool thing to do right now, I don't care.
[Zac] And I think it would be good,
I mean, just to have a cordial conversation
and just like, "Hey, this is my perspective.
That's your perspective." You guys can just talk it out.
You think-- You think I should go talk to her?
Yeah, I think someone needs to hold her accountable.
I know you feel like this is the end of the world,
but this is just the beginning.
I know it doesn't feel that way, but you're gonna go do way bigger things.
This journey of Dancing with the Stars, Jen was gone all the time,
and so, our marriage did get neglected.
At the same time, it was one of the coolest, happiest, fun experiences.
And I feel pretty sad for her.
But I also feel really grateful that she got as far as she did.
I've really learned that I have to cherish every second I get with her.
And it's also helped me realize, like--
I have a lot more respect for stay-at-home parents.
Getting away from Whitney
and going back with some of your other friends could be good, too.
-We don't have a lot of friends down here. -Yeah, if Whitney's down here, I'm--
Yeah, I should probably get out of here.
But she's gonna be in Chicago.
New York.
-It's New York? -The play is called Chicago.
Oh--
I'm dead!

Hello.
-[Litia] Hi, gorg! -Hi!
-[Layla] Gonna sit right here. -Wait, this is new. That's cute.
-Thank you so much. -Did you get that in New York?
-[Layla] Mm-hmm. -Slay!
-Love her. -Slayla!
With all of the Shinia and Dakota and Taylor drama going on,
I haven't really had a chance to check in with Layla
and see how she's doing.
I'm so excited to see how her meeting went with Ford Models
because I know this is a huge opportunity for her,
and it's a dream of hers.
Hey, so you haven't told me any update on Ford.
Ugh, yeah.
[Litia] Oh, yeah! What did-- How did that go?
[sighs] They didn't sign me.
Uh, so just calling to give you a little bit of an update.
-[Layla] Yeah. - Um...
So, I've spoken with my team here in New York,
unfortunately, not everyone is really aligned
-or on the same page. -'Kay.
[Brett] So, we're gonna have to pass
-at this time. -'Kay.
So, I'm just like embarrassed. I feel like-- I'm like---
Don't be. Like, you're gonna get yeses and you're gonna get nos.
And every supermodel literally will tell you
-that they have-- had plenty of nos. -[Litia] Has had nos, literally.
I don't think you guys-- Getting rejected by a modeling agency,
that means there's something wrong with me
that they didn't choose me. So I feel like-- I've been like,
the last couple of days, I've been struggling so hard with confidence,
and I'm like, "I weigh too much," or "My face isn't symmetrical,"
and I'm like, "I'm literally the ugliest person ever," like--
-You're not at all. -Hey.
I know, but I think it just stems back to just me never feeling like I'm enough,
-if that makes sense. I don't know. -[Miranda] Yeah. Totally.
Just like having someone look at you, and look at your face,
and be like, "Yeah, like, we don't want you."
You know, like, it just kind of like-- It sucks.
And I feel like everyone's always told me, "You should pursue modeling.
You're built for it. You're built for it." I'm like, "Maybe I'm not."
I've struggled with
body image issues and an eating disorder since I was in high school.
I used to have anorexia,
and then I got pregnant with my first son when I was 19,
and, naturally, I mean, there's a baby inside of me that I have to care for,
so I feel like I kind of healed for a little bit.
And then I got pregnant again, and I didn't spiral then,
but after me and my ex separated, that's when I feel like I started
to go back into those old ways and those old habits.
And I feel like I've been battling it for the last four years now, silently.
You know that that's not true, because...
first of all, you have a mirror that you can look in
-and you have eyes that work. -[Miranda chuckling]
But I also have a brain that tricks me and says...
-[Litia] Yeah, it's true. -...I'm too fat and ugly.
But you also have booked so many other modeling deals.
I just feel like every girl's getting such awesome opportunities,
and I'm so proud of them.
But I definitely-- You know, you get a little hard on yourself,
and you hope that you can achieve things outside of MomTok as well,
and rejection hurts.
[Litia] You wouldn't even have--
You wouldn't have made it in the door at Ford
if you weren't a beautiful, like, accomplished person
that had a lot of potential.
[Layla] I feel like I'm trying to look at positives in the situation
that if I did get it, I would have to move to New York for three months,
and that would definitely be hard with my babies, and with Mason,
and figuring all of that out.
But it's just a hard toss-up
'cause it's something that I want so badly.
-It's not the only big agency. -No.
Like, there are others.
I don't think I mentally can handle another "no."
-I think I just wanted it so bad. -I love you.

[♪ intense music playing]
What the fuck? Why is Zac here? And where is Jen?
[♪ intense music continues]
-[Whitney] Hello. -[Zac] Hi. How you doing?
Good.
I'm, uh...
I'm gonna be filling in today.
Filling in for Jen?
I decided to go talk to Whitney because Jen asks me to.
I wanted to go kind of just, uh, defend Jen.
I don't care if Whitney screams or yell at me,
I'm-- I'm not scared of Whitney.
-She didn't wanna come, um... -[Whitney] Why?
I mean, the truth is she's hurting right now.
She's sad, she's grieving,
-I think, just like you would be if you-- -Yeah, of course. I'm--
-Yeah, I'm so sorry she got eliminated. -Like, it-- It sucked.
I-- I don't know if you are. I hope you are.
Um, I think she's just-- I think she needs time to process her journey.
And to be honest, I think she's probably scared to come here
and get yelled at by you.
-You do that a lot. -Yeah, you know what else I did?
I voice-memoed her an apology for yelling at her.
Yeah, Whitney, it was a bullshit fake apology.
I h-- I heard it myself.
[Whitney] You know what? It wasn't a bullshit apology.
I really did feel bad for yelling.
-I said, "I'm so sorry for saying that." -And you said, "Let's be friends again
"'cause I don't want this exposed to the media,
'cause I'm gonna get voted off because I'm a mean girl."
-That's the truth. -[Whitney] First of all--
-Whitney... -I'm not even-- I'm not even
-gonna defend myself for that. -...yes or no?
She said she didn't wanna be friends, and I didn't know that.
That hurt my feelings, and I overreacted. I apologized.
I love the transparency. But you don't--
I will not stand is for you to go on live after you get eliminated
to then say, "I'm not voting for Whitney."
What's the objective there? I'm in a competition.
-The vote still matters. -I think the objective is she thinks
there's people who deserve it more than you.
That's fine. You could have said who you were voting for,
not who you're not voting for.
You know what? That, to me, is cruel and it's mean.
Because what do I have to deal with now? This hate online. It's overwhelming.
And then on top of it, all of the news media outlets saying,
"Oh, my gosh, Jen's not voting for you. Whitney's not MomTok,"
because I have that narrative.
-That's manipulation. That's an objective. -So--
-Whitney, why-- -That's calculated.
-And that's strategic. -Why do you think the whole world,
all of social media, thinks that about you?
Because people can see your true colors.
If you had gotten eliminated, would you be voting for Jen?
-Absolutely. Absolutely. -And that is complete bullshit.
-[Whitney] It's not. -I don't even believe that 1%.
And you know what, Zac? You don't have to.
Because even when I had a conversation with Jen,
the way that she thinks is, she thinks everybody's calculating,
everyone's strategic, and the world's out to get her.
[Zac] No, she thinks you and Demi are.
It's weird that you two happen to be best friends.
First of all, I don't appreciate that, because I know who I am.
I'm a great fucking person,
and I put in so much effort in that relationship.
The difference between me and Jen is I'm gonna be straight up and honest,
-and Jen isn't. -That actually is probably the biggest lie
that's come outta your mouth.
Jen is actually the least calculated person,
therefore she gets herself in bad situations.
Yeah, that's not true. This isn't easy for anyone, Zac.
-No, I never said it was. -All of-- All of us are mentally unwell.
I can tell.
[Whitney scoffs]
I don't think she should've said that online.
But I think there's a part of Jen that wants the world to see your true colors
-because she's sick of it. -Wow.
She's sick of you being fake to her on camera,
for the show, for your own gain,
and then, in real life, she knows you're not a genuine friend.
This is the most delusional woman I've ever met.
Whitney's friendship with Jen has been fake from the beginning.
Any time Whitney's been frustrated or things haven't gone her way,
she screams, or she runs away from MomTok.
She has hurt you. I've never hurt Whitney. And then runs away.
I'm gonna start my own MomTok and--
[sputters] Oh, I'm sorry. Sorry.
They're like, "Oh, Whitney's only back filming
because she wants Dancing with the Stars."
They're not wrong.
I just think it was a very transactional friendship.
If she's not the main star, Whitney is not interested in it.
When someone goes on a live and decides to create more shit
-for me to deal with, that's fucked up. -[Zac] Yeah. And I-- I'm--
-I'm sorry for that. -You're no-- I don't care.
I don't wanna hear your apology. I wanna hear Jen's.
But guess what? She doesn't-- She doesn't think she did anything wrong.
No, I don't think she thinks she--
I don't think she cares to give you an apology.
-Of course, she doesn't care. Thank you! -But do you want to know--
Shout it to the rooftops. Of course, she doesn't care.
Okay, do you have anything else you wanna say?
-I don't wanna talk about it anymore, so. -[Zac] That's fine. I'm sorry--
-I wish you guys the best. -[Zac] Thank you.
I'm not gonna sit here and try to convince you
the perspective that I have.
I'm not gonna sit here and try to convince you
that what your wife did was unwarranted,
how she's treated me is unwarranted.
You are not my friend.
You are not in my circle. And I do not trust you.
-Hey. -[Conner] Hey.
Oh, no... Whitney.
[Whitney] Zac showed up instead of Jen.
[Conner] Oh, my God.
They're just-- Every time I talk to them, I just feel--
I feel so manipulated.
And then I hate fucking crying
because then the world is like, "Oh, she's being the victim."
I, like-- I can't ever fucking win!
And then for you to sit there and be like, "Jen has done nothing wrong.
It's you that's not a good friend." I'm like, "What the fuck?"
And then he's saying, like, basically, that I deserve all the hate I'm getting.
It's like, "Go fuck yourself!"
I'm gonna rip that man's head off.
My biggest fucking pet peeve, Whitney,
is when men try and make women feel fuckin' small--
Well, guess what? I feel that way.
And I hate so fucking much that, like, I let it get to me.
I don't know where I'm at after this, but what I can control
is not having Jen and Zac a part of my life, a part of my circle,
and that's what I'm deciding.
[Conner] He wanted you to feel like shit. Mission accomplished, Zac.
I hope you feel like a big, strong fuckin' man right now.
What a fucking loser!

MomTok has a lot going on right now,
and Taylor's leaving for The Bachelorette in a few days,
and then after that, I'm hosting my annual Halloween party.
We should talk about the guest list though,
because with Taylor gone, I'm like, "Okay, who are we inviting?"
We can actually have alcohol because Taylor's gone, which will be fun.
-Oh! -[Jessi] Open bar.
'Kay, so I have MomTok on the list, obviously.
Who's left of it. Dakota.
I think Shinia has been invited
because Jordan invited everyone at Red West.
But I don't know if she'd actually show up.
We've been so busy lately,

-Ooh! Okay, I don't think-- -Okay, 30 seconds.
We can do anything for 30 seconds.

[water splashing]
Oh! No, no, no!
Oh!
That was a frozen tundra.
Straight out of-- Like, ice cap, frigid temperatures.
Oh, my God!
[chuckling] Yeah.
I don't know. I feel like I'm trying to keep my expectations low.
I feel like I put a lot of my self-worth into my image.
Having someone say that they didn't wanna take me on
even though they didn't say anything physically was wrong with me,
I feel like, my brain automatically was like,
"Oh, I'm not small enough, or I'm not pretty enough."
But I think more of it was just like, I feel like I weighed too much.
I'm sure you're sample size if not smaller.
[Layla] I don't look at myself that way, though.
I weighed myself like two days ago, and I was 99.
-Layla. -Lay...
And you're like 5' 10", 5' 9".
I know.
I mean, do you know that that's not super healthy.
And when I say healthy, like, it doesn't mean... big, you know?
-Like, healthy is strong. -Yeah.
Yeah. No, I know.
I just feel like I really can't-- I don't know.
I just feel like I just don't--
I don't think I'll ever be small enough in my head,
and I know that it's affecting me, and like--
I'm so exhausted all the time 'cause I don't eat,
and my body hurts every night when I go to bed.
What do you mean?
[Layla] Like, I like literally-- When I lay down,
like, if my knees are touching each other, it hurts
'cause I don't have any fat on my body to cushion it.
And I know that it's going too far, and I'm taking it too far,
but I, like, can't stop.
Do you think, uh-- Are you open to stopping Tirzepatide?
I have been using weight loss drugs, GLP-1s now,
for about a year, I would say.
I initially got on them 'cause I feel like I just had stubborn weight
that I couldn't get off but
the thing is that people don't talk about how addicting this is,
and how hard it is to get off.
And it's just this ever-living thing that's so negative,
and especially negative here in Utah.
People are obsessed with how they look.
It's a very negative part of the Utah culture.
I can't even count on both hands
how many people I know abuse GLP-1s, like myself.
And it's a real problem for sure.
When's the last time you did it?
Last week.
Yeah. That's what scares me
is I don't think you need to be actively losing.
It's hard. And I feel like everyone--
Obviously, everyone's starting to notice what it looks like in my comments.
Like I can't post a single video right now,
every single person is saying something that like, "You need to eat,"
or "You're not gonna be able to show up for your kids,"
like, "You're being a bad mom," blah, blah, blah.
-All these things when I'm not trying to-- -Yeah.
It's not like--
[Jessi] Well, I've noticed your comments have switched
from like, "You're so thin. Your arms are so long,"
to now, like, "Are you okay?"
And I think that's kind of the sentiment we're all thinking,
is that like just, "Are you okay?"
I feel like, for a long time there, people calling me ill,
or saying that I look sick or too thin,
it was almost a dopamine rush for me.
'Cause I feel like, with an eating disorder,
okay, someone's noticing all this work that I'm putting in to look this way,
and it's paying off in a way.
But now I can't even post a simple ad
to make money to support my family
without there being a bunch of comments on it.
And it's actually starting to get a lot that
I don't even wanna post right now because I can't run away from it.
And I don't know how to stop, but--
Obviously, you've always had to have such a strong front,
growing up the way that you grew up,
and I think when so much is out of control,
it's easy for you to cling onto one thing you can control.
Yeah.
And I want you to know that you do have--
you have a family, Layla.
Okay? We're here for you, and we love you.
I love you.
Okay? Just let us help you.
You know, like, we can help you be in control.
You don't have to do it by yourself, Lay.

She is not ready.
She is still in bed, and she's not feeling well.
What do you think we should do?
We're supposed to be leaving here any minute.
By nine, and she's still sleeping.
-You're her mom. -[Liann] No, you can talk, too,
'cause I'm always the one that's like a... the B.
Did you talk to Taylor?
-[Tara] Yeah. -What'd she say?
She said she just doesn't feel like-- She's just not feeling well.
She says she can't get on the plane,
and that you guys can go and she'll just have to meet you there.
She's just-- She's like, "There's no way I can get up right now and go."
This is ridiculous.
I'm very frustrated right now with Taylor.
She has this huge opportunity,
and I feel like-- a part of me is like, "She's not gonna go."
I don't want her to blow this opportunity to possibly find love
and also to get on with her life.
Aspen and I are gonna get on this plane,
and I'm hoping that Taylor will meet us there in California.
I expect you to be there tonight.

Oh!
Me and the girls are at the airport ready to surprise Taylor.
We decided to make signs for her new adventure.
She's been through so much.
Kinda send her off on her little "mission" to The Bachelorette.
Because, in our church, when someone goes on a mission,
usually when they come home, people have signs welcoming them back.
You'll see that a lot at Salt Lake Airport.
So we're sending her off to her mission to The Bachelorette.
And we're ready for her to be away from Dakota
and find a real man.
Guys, it's 9:45.
-It leaves-- It leaves at 11:00. -Where is she?
-Was she with Dakota last night again? -Yes, 100%.
She was with Dakota last night, so I am genuinely stressed
that she, like, told him like, "I'll stay for you."
This morning, Jordan heard from Dakota, Taylor slept with Dakota again last night.
Go self-sabotage!
Jessi tells us that Jordan told her that Dakota slept with Taylor last night.
Oh, my God!
I thought I couldn't get more disappointed.
Right when we're like, "Yes, she sees it. She sees her worth."
It's like, "She's going to The Bachelorette.
She's ready to start this new journey. We're so excited for her,"
she's back sleeping with Dakota again.
And I'm so disappointed. I'm so disappointed.
[Layla] I'm definitely disappointed in Taylor.
I don't think that this was a smart move to do right before The Bachelorette.
To be frank, if I was one of these guys,
and I found out that she effed her baby daddy
the day before meeting me,
I would be extremely upset and pissed.
Dakota's trying to pull out all his cards because he's desperate.
Like, he's doing anything he can to get her to not go.
[sighs] I'm shocked, but I'm not shocked at the same time.
I'm just tired. I'm so over this.
I'm just hoping Dakota doesn't sneak there at some point.
-I'll be happy if he doesn't-- -Dakota's in the checked luggage,
let's be honest.
-[Mikayla] Is that Ben? -[Mayci] Where?
-That's not Ben. -[Mayci] Weird.
-No, that's Ben. -Shut the fuck up!
Do you like my sexy socks?
I was just gonna comment on your sexy socks.

-Wait, wait. -Wait, that's not Ben.
-That's not-- -[all laughing]

-[Mikayla] Wait, she's right there. -[Jessi] Where? Coming down?

I can see that rat's nest from a mile away.
Oh, that's Aspen. Okay.

Wait, where's Taylor?
-Where's Taylor? -She's not coming.
She's not? For real?
-She's not. -She's not coming.
-[Mayci] You're joking. -No, I'm being dead serious.
I heard about this. Is it 'cause of Dakota?
Oh, no. We didn't know. Why? What's going on?
She slept with him last night.
No, sir! For real?
-No, for real. -Yes. Every night.
No, sir. You guys are fricking kidding me.
[Aspen] You're joking, right?
-[group] No. -That's why we're-- I thought--
For real?
Then why the hell are we going and doing all this?
Oh, my gosh.
It makes me actually very sick
that she would put this whole deal on-- in jeopardy.
-[Jessi] Why isn't she here? -She wouldn't get up.
-We could not get her up. -Are you for real?
And she's like, "I'm not going right now. I can't do it."
-I-- You guys. -[Aspen] And then she's like,
"You guys get on the flight and go."
-Okay, no, we're-- -She's gonna send you without going,
like, what's the point of that?
Hey, I need you to call me like ASAP.
[Aspen] I fucking hate Dakota.
And Taylor, I'm like, I love my sister, but I'm like, "Pull it out of your ass."
And you can't be this mad at Shinia and then give him a pass, and like--
-Ew! Ew, ew, ew. -[Jessi] I cannot.
-I freaking hate him. For real. -I know. I know.
[Aspen] "Don't forget to drop your baggage"?
-She's allowing it. I know. I'm sorry. -She's supposed to drop him.
-[Aspen] Ew! -I'm sorry, Liann.
Come here, gimme a hug. I'm sorry.
I know. I know. I'm sorry.
[Mayci] This is so bad, you guys.
Taylor not showing up at the airport
is not only a bad sign for her and her journey in The Bachelorette,
but also for MomTok.
Like, she's gonna choose Dakota who's been kind of ruining her life
for the last three years
over something that is a fresh start.
Like, all of us in MomTok, we've all tried so hard to help her,
and we've all been there for her,
but I think it backfired on us.
-[Aspen] I'm so frustrated -[Liann] I'm so pissed.
I don't even wanna get on the plane.
-No! This is stupid. -Well, you guys shouldn't.
You shouldn't if she's not coming.
-She has to go. -She has to. She's already announced it.
I'm gonna go on this flight, and she better be there today,
-or I'm cutting her frickin' off. -Well, that's what--
Do you want us to go to her house
-and drag her outta bed? -Yeah. Tell her she better get there.
Well, you could go ahead and tell her
if she doesn't get up and go, that she's losing everybody-- her help.
I'm done. She'll be done.
-Tara will be done. -And I'll be done, too.
I'll be done.
This is so bad.
Taylor is like an addict when it comes to Dakota.
We're just trying to help her.
We spent hours making these signs.
We showed up early at the airport to be there and send her off.
But seeing her mom and kids come to the airport without her
and saying she's not coming,
I'm like, "Great, my worst fears have come true.
"She's gonna sabotage this entire experience for Dakota,
and she's never gonna get better."
[Aspen] I love you. I'm sorry, I'm so heated.
-We all are, too, so don't worry. -So-- Yeah, go to her house.
[Layla] We need to go to her house.
We need to go take these to her door and be like,
"Look, we were here to support you."

-[Mikayla] I don't give a shit. -[Mayci] We'll break in.

It's a Sunday. I should be in church praising the Lord.
And here I am.
I don't care. But I know there's a big rock by her window.
We can slash it.
[Mayci] I'm just not sure how to approach this yet.
-[Mikayla] Approach in a nice-ish way. -[Mayci] Approach it angry,
-or like-- I just don't know. -[knock on door]

Uh, do you have a text sent out?
-Almost. -Oh, it's locked.

Now that we've successfully broken into Taylor's house,
I think we can officially add breaking and entering to our resumes.
Should I wink?
I can't wink.
I've been working on it.
[Mayci] Is she gonna be so mad at us?
[Mikayla] Well, Liann told us to do this.
[Layla] There's her bag half-packed.
-[softly] It's half-packed. -[Layla] Yeah.
Oh, my hell, Taylor.
[Layla] It looks like she didn't fully go.

so we have to just do it.
-We're already in here. -Just, like, pop your head in.
Just don't, like, don't say anything unless she's awake,

Taylor?
MomTok. Your mom sent us.
[Jessi] I mean, why are you here?
Taylor, you have a responsibility. Why aren't you on the plane?
I mean, you were with Dakota last night. You weren't that sick.
I mean, if you don't want help, we'll leave.
But we're just trying to--
Because you said "yes" to Bachelorette. You shoulda said "no," you're not well.
I'm feeling definitely sick, exhausted, drained.
My friends want the best for me,
and they're, you know, in my house trying to get me to go,
and I really appreciate it.
I'm just to a point where it's so low that I don't even want them to help me.
Like, I'm sorry, but I'm just sick of supporting you
when you keep doing this.
Your mom's pissed. Your sister's pissed.
You're sending them to LA with your kids, and you can't show up?
Just say "no" to The Bachelorette.
Sucks that we woke up at 6:00 a.m. to be there for you.
So over it.
[Layla] All of us girls are honestly going through a lot right now.
Mikayla and Jace's marriage is going through a really hard time.
Jessi's contemplating divorce every day.
I'm dealing with my eating disorder.
And the last thing that we need
is our leader, Taylor, to be falling apart as well.
I just feel like she's kind of the glue to this group,
and if she's not doing well, then MomTok is not doing well either.
Let's just go and let her deconstruct on her own.
'Kay, we'll leave, Taylor, but we hope that
you make one of the later flights today.

[Jen] Thank you for talking to Whitney for me yesterday.
Are you eventually interested in talking to her?
Are you just done with this friendship?
[tsks] I don't owe her anything.
I literally told her. I said, "Whitney, if anything,
"Jen's the least manipulative, calculated person I know.
"In fact, she's so not calculated that, like, she gets herself in trouble.
"Jen wasn't planning on doing a live.
"If she wanted to expose you for the way you've treated her,
-she would've already done it." -Watch the live. It was very much--
Should I have said that? No.
Someone asked me if I'm rooting for her, and I say no,
-and now I owe her an apology? -[Zac] That's what I told her.
-I said, "Look, Whitney"-- -Like, I'm sorry I'm not rooting for you.
Were you not just saying eff you to me last week?
[Whitney] Holy shit! Fuck you!
Well, I mean...
Whitney's Demi 2.0.
Like, I have no interest in being friends, interacting...
I'll always be cordial but like--
It feels like ru-- Whitney ruined enough of the experience,
and it's sad to me that now that it's over,
we're still talking about it.
And feels like-- It feels like she's like a parasite,
and no matter what thing we do, it always,
like, we can never just enjoy the experience for what it is
and take the positives.
And I just wanna focus on what you accomplished
and the positives you took away.
You becoming a better dancer, you growing as a person,
that's what I wish we were talking about, not Whitney and her drama.
Yeah.
When I got eliminated, honestly, I was... so sad.
God.
[crying] I think the hardest part about leaving Dancing with the Stars
was how much it brought back my authentic self.
And so, when that journey was over,
I felt like it was almost stripped from me.
And so I just remember praying to God,
just being like, "Oh, please don't let that version of myself go away."
Things aren't ever gonna go right whenever talking to Whitney. [chuckles]
To be honest, I think that's why I wanna go back to Utah,
is I want to regroup, go back to my family and friends,
and just really figure out what it is that I want.
I think we need to go do something fun.
We need to get outta the house and just go.

But that's the thing is, I also-- It doesn't have to be this way.
We make it toxic. It doesn't have to be that way.
This would be the best thing for us regardless of what happens.

Like, if you don't find someone,
like I know I've been acting like such a dumbass,

Mayci and her book event, Layla and modeling,
we all have so many cool things happening for us...

...it really is true that, in life, what you do doesn't matter,
it's who you spend your time with.

makes your accomplishments even better.

But, like, Taylor told me, like,
the last time that we did it, that she was, like, ovulating.
[♪ suspenseful music playing]
So, she could be pregnant?
[Dakota] Like, Taylor, randomly in bed, she goes,
she's like, "I haven't had my period yet, Dakota."
And I was like, "From, like, when?" Like--
And then she told me, and I was like, "Whoa, hang on, okay."
-Or I could absolutely-- -Is she gonna be a pregnant Bachelorette?
[Dakota] That's what I'm freaking--
But 'cause they took her damn phone before I could ask her
and say, "Hey, have you-- Did you start your period,
-or what's going on here?" -This is a movie, like--
Deep down, you have symptoms,
-you know if you're pregnant. -Oh, my God.
Well, that's what was weird, too, is like--
Then I was starting to think about, like, how emotional kinda she's been lately too.
She's been a little erratic.
-Yeah, a little bit more to where I was-- -Oh, my God,
-Dakota, this is so bad. -And then, she was sick a few times.
I remember her telling me she felt sick a little bit
-to where I was like, "Oh." -Oh, my God.
But I just don't-- I don't know anything.
Can you fucking imagine, you guys?
Like, she's The Bachelorette, and she's pregnant.
Like, there-- that's never happened.
I don't feel like they could keep her on for that.
I'm scared to death. I don't know if she's pregnant.
[groans] Taylor.
