Year Round Brown; Seasonal Boyfriend: Teen Mom 2, Season 2 Episode 8
Teen Mom 2; S2E8
By: Nina
It’s Teen Mom time!!! I’ll let you guys know right away: there is no Planet Fun this episode. But, there still are other goods things in store, so let’s get to it!
Chelsea:
Chelsea has rolled out the leopard carpet for her new apartment!…literally.
And to go along with her new apartment, Chelsea gets a new job at a tanning salon, called Year Round Brown! (Sorry, I just got a kick out of each time she said “Year Round Brown”.) Chelsea also reveals that Adam hasn’t been coming by the apartment too much. Later in the episode we finally see him come over to spend the night, and it is awkward-city. Adam doesn’t even give Chelsea’s cute little pug dog a nice greeting, while Chelsea is dumb enough to let Adam choose the movie they watch (“Tears of the Sun”). In Adam’s defense, he does tell Chelsea that he drove 30 miles from his home to come see her, and of course he wants to be there. But now in Chelsea’s defense, he’s certainly not acting like he is happy to be there.
When talking with her friend Erika, Chelsea reveals that she thinks Adam no longer feels anything for. She says the only thing stopping her dream of her family is Adam…he just doesn’t want it. And who knows if he ever will? Hopefully with time Chelsea will begin to have new dreams for herself and Aubree. Dreams that may not include her and Adam being together.
Kailyn:
Kailyn is concerned that Jo isn’t going to understand why she is filing for child support. The rude voicemail may have done that, Kail. Jo says that he and Kailyn had worked out their own financial arrangement, where he would give her what she needs, in order to avoid her having to file for child support. He truly feels that she is just going to be living off of his child support and the government. But doesn’t Kailyn work? Jo’s answer to that is that Kailyn refuses to get a better or higher paying job, because she likes working with her boyfriend at Sports Authority. Who knows! I wouldn’t doubt it though.
Finally though, it is Jordan, Kailyn’s boyfriend, who suggests to her, “Oh gee, why don’t you actually CALL Jo and DISCUSS this TOGETHER?” (Not in those words, of course. I took the liberty in making it sound like an INCREDIBLY OBVIOUS approach). When Jo and Kailyn do meet up at a local diner, Jo asks “How is everything?” and Kailyn just looks at him, then chomps on her gum while holding Isaac. Is this relevant to the plot? Not at all. Is this relevant to the lack of manners that make me dislike Kailyn more and more every episode? Absolutely.
Kailyn says the child support payment may seem like a lot, but it would be the same that he would be paying towards Isaac even if they were together. (Since he makes more money than she does.) In the end, she tells him to shut-up, says she doesn’t want to hear him talk anymore, and I can’t help but hope that Jo leaves Kail with the restaurant bill.
And is it just me, or does Isaac look kind of cute here at the lunch table? I mean sure, the photo is taken from a distance. And yea, there’s a glass of coke covering his face. But kind of cute, right?
Leah:
Leah and Corey discuss the possibility of moving closer into town. But they become distracted from that, when they receive a letter from the geneticist they saw. The letter reveals that there could be skeletal problems with Ali, but they will follow-up as discussed with in a year. Confused, Leah gets in touch with the geneticist herself for a better explanation. She explains that right now, considering Ali’s age, there is no way for them to test for a skeletal condition at this point, so the letter was clarifying that at this stage in the game they cannot rule that out. But however, all the tests they have done have been really positive, and she feels that for now they should focus on that, as well as focus on Ali-girl using her legs.
Also, look at these cute little babies sitting on the floor eating their cheese puffs!
I wish I could have two cute little babies sitting on the floor eating cheese puffs with me at lunch time.
Jenelle:
Back on Planet Fun, Jenelle has gone almost a full day without smoking weed. When Barbara says that she expects Jenelle to take care of Jace in the evenings, Jenelle actually has the gall to suggest that her workload is more stressful than Barbara’s. Jenelle has to go to class and pay bills. Barbara only has to pay bills as well, raise Jenelle’s baby and make a living to support Jenelle and her baby. NBD, right Jenelle? When this rubs Barbara the wrong way, she shouts at Jenelle, giving her the perfect excuse to go and smoke that weed. Jenelle tries to explain that her outburst is coming from her lack of reefer (and Kieffer), as it has almost been a full 24-hours without it. Barbara says, “What do you need drug rehab?” Jenelle replies that she does not need drug rehab, but that this is the time of day that she simply likes to smoke her weed. And because of all that has happened (said as if it’s Barbara’s fault) she cannot do it (smoke). “BUT NOW I’M GONNA GO DO IT!” she says, storming off. Wouldn’t make a bad anti-drugs commercial if you ask me. Who would want to act like that?
Proving that miracles really do exist, Jenelle’s friend Tori offers for Jenelle to move in with her and her boyfriend. And so Jenelle makes this move right away, as in within this episode! Barbara does tell Jenelle that she expects her to make plans to see Jace now that she moves out. Barbara also asks the hard-hitting (or to us, the obvious) questions such as “How will you pay for food, gas and car insurance?” Jenelle simply states that she will have to get a job. As in she doesn’t have one or money yet. Good luck, Jenelle’s friend Tori!
But this wouldn’t be a Teen Mom 2 episode without some Kieffer Delp. Kieffer sends Jenelle a “love message” via Facebook. And of course I have a screen cap for you:
Guys, am I supposed to know what 117 mean? Because I don’t. Is this Jenelle and Kieffer code, or am I just aging myself by not knowing this? And is it just me, or does “I miss you baby, you mean everything to me” mean SO MUCH MORE than, “I miss yu baby yu meen everything to me.” How can someone read that and feel anything but aggravation? They don’t even abbreviate “you” to “u”. That I might be able to tolerate. But “yu?” I don’t get it! Why leave out the O? Okay…I better stop myself, I could ramble over this for awhile.
Jenelle’s friend Tori very kindly reminds Jenelle that she said she never wanted to see Kieffer again. Regardless, she decides to reply to his message:
