Javi Tells Kailyn He Wants To Move

It was smooth sailing for Kailyn and Javi tonight. The pair didn’t fight once, I repeat, they didn’t fight once! Jo winds up moving into his new house that’s only two blocks away from Kail, but Javi isn’t too worried. He even goes over to chat it up with Jo — and it wasn’t awkward at all. During one point tonight, Javi brought up the fact that their house is getting a bit cramped and he thinks they should drove somewhere bigger. Kail’s eye lit up and she agreed to moving right away.

Chelsea & Cole Bring Home A Pig

Things are moving along nicely for Chelsea and Cole. The pair decided to add a new edition into their family — a baby pig. They even decorate a separate room just for the little guy. Get this, his name is Pete! Aubree is beyond excited and actually plays very gently with her new pet. Yes, it’s an odd pet to keep indoors, but this made us want one really bad. Another plus side, it looks like Chelsea and Cole are really ready to play house.

Barbara Tells Jenelle To End It With Nathan

It was a lot of back and fourth for Jenelle tonight. One minute she doesn’t think Nathan and her should be together and then the next she’s balling her eyes out begging him to be with her. At one point tonight, Barb comes to visit Jenelle and tries to talk some sense into her. She tells her daughter she deserves better and that she doesn’t want yet another man bringing her down. It got a bit emotional when Babs starts to really worry for Jenelle, because Nathan isn’t trustworthy. “You can’t have a relationship not built on trust. He’s contacting girls on the Internet. If you take Nathan back what’s going to happen between us? Because he hates me.” Shockingly, Jenelle herself even admits she doesn’t trust him, but admits she still waits to be with him.

Later on, Jenelle calls Nathan to talk about their rocky relationship. He blatantly tells her he can’t make her happy and he wants to see other people. She tries to beg him to stick it out, but he isn’t budging. She starts to cry and tell him that it can be fixed, but clearly it’s broken.

Leah Leaves For Rehab For A Month

Leah finally feels ready to let Corey and his wife Miranda know what was happening. They meet at a restaurant and Leah seems a bit loopy. She tries to explain to them that she’s going away for a month to seek intensive therapy — so she can work on herself. Corey right away wasn’t buying it. He drills her with questions and tries to get Leah to admit that she has a problem with medication. She continues to deny having any sort of drug problem and Corey tells her she needs to start being a mom.

Later in the episode, Leah is visiting her brother and holding his daughter Bailey, but something is off. She can’t even keep her eyes open and was tipping forward while holding the infant. Leah’s brother tries to engage in conversation with her, but she’s clearly very, very out of it. She starts to have trouble forming sentences and at one point she nearly collapses with the baby in her arms. That’s when an unnamed person steps in and takes the child away. It wasn’t until later on that Leah has a sit down conversation with her mom and truly discusses why she needs to leave. She starts to say,”I have to leave my babies for a month, and I haven’t cried yet. I know I have to do this for them. I know I do, because the person I used to be, the happy person I used to be, is fading away.” She also told her mom that she was only using pain medication to help with her back and that she wasn’t taking it anymore, but it’s clear she feels her reliance on pain meds needs to stop. She tearfully admits she is in need of help. Leah, stay single!
