From the world you created ♪
I love you. Night, night.
I have to tell you the tea this--
what happened this weekend.
Alright, I'll get my popcorn.
How was your trip?
Oh, it was exhausting.
Was it drama?
Always. Who do you think started it?
It sucked.
The pictures looked good, I saw.
Well, don't believe everything you see
on social media, I guess.
Why did it suck?
"Whitney, why don't you like Taylor?"
I'm not the freaking swinger here.
I'm not the one that's going around
trying to seduce other people's husbands.
Well, I don't regret anything.
I'm glad I told Jen.
You little twat.
- You're being a bitch.
- No, I'm not.
-You are.
-What the fuck are you talking about?
It was just a shitshow.
A lot of hurtful things were said.
And a lot of hurtful things
were brought up.
Like, did it change
your relationships with them?
It did make me question a couple things.
It turned into an absolute bloodbath.
Like, everyone's attacking me,
like, coming at me like, "You said this
about this person and dah-dah-dah."
Demi comes up and just starts attacking
out of freaking nowhere.
-Yeah, she's not your friend.
-No shit!
In fact, are any
of those girls your friends?
-No fucking shit! Absolutely not.
-Yeah, they're fake.
I don't even know, like, do I even wanna
be close with anyone, like.
-Yeah.
-And you get all these girls together
and you hear that they're, like,
saying all these things behind your back,
there's a reason
I'm, like, as scared as I am.
Guess you're my only friend.
Hey, you're my only friend too, so.
It was just the icing on the cake.
I was like, "She found out."
After the girls' trip,
MomTok is very fractured at the moment.
I don't think anyone knows where we stand.
And I don't know how we fix things.
You gotta decide how to move forward.
Fuck.

Front row parking.
I love we're just all going to Swig
at 3:00 p.m. together.
- I know.
- I just need my Mormon crack.
Exactly.
Demi! Whitney was here.
-Ooh!
-No!
Ha-ha!
No, really though.
Hi, welcome to Swig.
How are you guys doing?
- Good.
- Good.
The girls' trip
was a bit of a mess.
So, at this point, I feel a little bit
more comfortable with Layla and Jessi.
Definitely a Fruity Pebbles--
A Fruity Pebbles rice crispy.
-That is the way to go.
-We definitely--
Um, could I do a 32-ounce Texas Tab?
Utah is like land of the Mormon bar,
which are all the soda shops that we have.
There's one on every corner.
We don't drink alcohol or do drugs
and so, it's kind of our vice.
♪♪
My soda order is very specific.
I'm gonna do a 44-ounce Fighter.
And did you want that
with sparkling or flat water?
- Sparkling please, thank you.
- Sparkling water.
44-ounce sparkling water
with sugar-free coconut,
sugar-free vanilla, sugar-free raspberry,
sugar-free pineapple, and coconut cream.
Chef's kiss.
Can I do a Bloody Wild, add coconut cream?
Six out of the seven days of the week,
I'm having at least one 44-ounce soda.
Yes, a 44-ounce
and I drink it in, like, an hour.
I'm probably only gonna live to, like, 50,
but makes me happy.
-The Fruity Pebbles!
-I'm manifesting a truce.
Have you guys talked about that situation?
- No.
- Do you think she's gonna come
- To your divorce party?
- on Thursday?
Whitney doesn't come
to anything that's uncomfortable,
so no, like, she didn't come
to the baby shower.
This is, like, me.
We're supposedly friends.
So, if she doesn't come on Thursday just
because of you, I'd be like, "Grow up!"
In MomTok right now,
it's a little bit awkward,
but I'm really excited
for this divorce party.
I invited all the girls,
all of their husbands,
a couple of my other friends,
even Whitney.
Do you think
she even got your voice memo?
-Do you think she blocked you?
-I don't know if she blocked my number.
I know she's blocked me
on everything else.
I would not be surprised.
She leaves the group message,
blocks you on TikTok,
blocks you on Instagram.
-Why wouldn't she do that?
-Yeah.
The queen bee has officially left
the group chat.
Hallelujah ♪
I can't say I'm shocked
because Whitney makes
very dramatic decisions
based off of emotion.
But I am a little shocked,
at the same time,
because it was a very public
"fuck you" to all of us.
She didn't tell anyone she was doing it,
but she did it because
she wanted us to see it.
I think she wanted to ruffle some feathers
and I think she wanted to see who
was gonna check on her afterwards.
I'm done.
No, babe.
First of all, don't run away.
Second of all, an apology would be nice
when you do something wrong.
Well, it was like a breakthrough moment.
It could have then gone the other way,
but instead, it went worse
because she couldn't own up to it.
If you have a problem with me,
or you're upset with me,
it's your responsibility to come to me.
And I don't want to cater
to the victim mentality, I really don't.
We've seen enough of that with her
that I'm like, I don't wanna be
that person that's constantly like,
"Oh, Whitney, you left the group chat.
Oh, Whitney, you blocked me."
There's so much rage, I'm like,
you know those places that you go?
They're, like, the rage rooms?
- Oh, yes!
- Wait, no, 'cause I would
-love that.
-Is that a real thing?
Yes. We could literally
go, like, axe throwing
or, like, a rage room,
or like paintballing.
Yes, something to just
get our aggression out.
Should I invite Whitney?
♪♪
Because think about it.
If you were to invite us all,
where would you put it? The group message.
-She chose to leave that.
-Mm-hm. Yeah.
I also feel like Taylor and Whitney
both have these, like,
dominant alpha personalities
and it's kinda been a power struggle
of who's queen bee of the group.
And now that Whitney's left the chat,
and Taylor's, like, doesn't really care,
are you our new queen bee?
At times,
I'm, like, the voice of the group--
You are, 'cause you're willing
to say the uncomfortable things.
We're all thinking it.
Yeah. I look around
and I'm like, "Anyone else?"
When you were like,
"Does anyone feel this way?"
But to be honest,
I do think you would be a better leader.
Sure.
Not true, but sure.
Because Whitney's the type
that, like, manipulates.
Taylor really doesn't care.
She was just kinda put in that position.
She's like, "I'm just here at this point."
Yes, we need you to, like, have
a backbone and be our spokesperson.
I don't necessarily need
to be the "queen bee"
or the leader per se.
However, if MomTok is to survive,
I do think that we need someone
to come in and lead the group
in a sense of what we want MomTok to be
and kinda bring it back to why it was
originally started in the first place.
And I think that I could
definitely get the job done.
Whitney wants it so bad
that it's just like, "Ugh."
-It's cringey.
-Yeah, yeah.
And, like, if she's
a true follower of Christ,
you seek to understand people,
-and you forgive, and you move forward.
-Yeah, yeah.
- And maybe she's not there right now.
- I think she's stubborn.
- I'm over it.
- Absolutely.
You're the new leader of our cult.
Thank you.
That looks like an elephant!
- Oh!
- Oh!
Nice!
- Yeah.
- Again?
Say, "More, more, more, more."
You wanna do the zebra again?
What's up?
Hi. What are you doing?
Trying to make homemade animal crackers.
You with the kids?
Yeah, I'm with kids.
After the girls' trip
for my birthday weekend,
because it was so bad,
definitely wanna talk to Whitney about it.
And I wanna make sure
she feels loved and supported.
But sometimes she's a loose cannon
and I just can't predict her next move.
Outta curiosity, how do you feel
about, like, the whole MomTok group?
What do you mean? Like, what--
Should we try to get the band together?
Let's be honest,
have we all ever really been
genuine, real friends?
Or has there always been an agenda?
Has there always been
some sort of transaction needed?
I'd be curious to see
how close of friends we would be
if we didn't meet each other
on social media.
Really? But we met on social media.
Would you not hang out with me?
Yeah. That's different.
I'm- I thought you were meaning,
like, as a whole group.
As far as, like, MomTok started,
it was very transactional
and then the swinger drama happened,
and I feel, like, people who were left
were, like, the ones
who were more authentic and stuff.
But, um, in, like, wanting to be a friend
and not just, like, an acquaintance--
I don't think we're friends.
I feel like everyone's
competitive against each other,
gets easily jealous of each other,
rude to each other.
Like, that's not what
real friends do to each other.
I mean, it's mutual.
I don't even feel like anybody wants
-to fuckin' be my friend right now--
-Hey.
Sorry.
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.
I feel like I'm trying to convince Whitney
to make amends with everyone
because I love her,
we're, we're great friends.
You said, like, when you went to Hawaii
that, like, you just needed to get away.
Like, whenever things get hard
you just kinda, like, wanna leave.
I think Whitney tries
to act like she doesn't care,
but in reality,
she cares more than anyone.
MomTok does need Whitney.
I think she's a big part of it.
And I think things could get better
if we can all just come together,
maybe have a "come to Jesus,"
a little kumbaya,
hug and kiss, whatever, I don't know.
But I do feel like there's a way
we can make amends.
I'm not gonna force anyone to fuc--
to effing listen to me.
So, what I'm gonna do,
I'm gonna walk away.
I'm gonna walk away
'cause it's not worth it.
I understand how you feel.
Honestly, I'm just so hurt
about how that girls' trip went down
that I just-- I don't even think
I can think clearly right now.
I don't think there would be a MomTok
if I wasn't there.
I have to go but I love you.
Um, let me know if you need anything.
'Kay. Love you, bye.
'Kay, love you, bye.
-What's up, Zac?
-What's up? Not much.
I definitely feel responsible
for the divide that has happened
amongst MomTok
because I didn't invite half the girls
for my baby blessing.
So, I'm inviting Taylor and Dakota
over to my house
to, hopefully, fix that and make sure that
I do value our friendship.
Gosh, is your house always this clean?
- I live with an OC--
- I have way bad OCD.
He is not a nice person
if the house isn't clean.
Oh, my gosh. He's still so cute and small!
I know!
I think I'm probably, like, four weeks
away from delivering at this point.
And especially after
a crazy week for MomTok,
like, the girls, and the stress,
I feel very overwhelmed
and it's now messing with my pregnancy
and I feel like I need to take a step back
'cause that's one thing
I don't wanna tolerate
and it's unfair to my baby.
I can't even process it. It's so crazy.
Are you excited
or how do you feel about it?
Oh, I'm so excited.
So today, Zac and Jen
have this crash course for Dakota
to learn everything about a newborn.
Although I think
Dakota's gonna be a great dad,
I don't think he understands
how hard it actually is going to be.
Everybody always talks
about the beginning part
-and how you don't sleep.
-It's pretty rough. Yeah.
- Is it?
- It's pretty bad. Yeah.
Yeah, what're you
most nervous about?
Ooh, um
I don't know.
He has no idea what's coming.
- Do you know how to make a bottle?
- No.
Let him hold the baby
while he makes the bottle.
- Can you do that?
- Yeah.
To help Dakota prepare
to become a new dad,
we're going to show him
how to make a bottle,
how to change a diaper,
and how to suction boogers
out of a baby's nose.
You gotta make the bottle and be
able to hold the baby at the same time.
Okay.
We gotta make this, like, realistic.
He's probably crying at this point.
Um, you're probably freaking out.
Yes, you're rocking him.
-You know, you're having to, like--
-No, no, no, not this. This isn't on yet.
- Hold on. 'Kay, put in two scoops.
- Okay, wait.
Oh!
Just picture this.
You put the audio on?
-You gotta rock him at the same time.
-Okay. Yeah, yeah. I'm like, I'm like--
He's crying. He's out of control.
Sorry, dude.
Oh, oh, sorry, Nora.
Oh, gosh. Are you okay?
I stepped-- Ah!
Are you okay? I didn't mean to. I swear.
- Okay, next.
- Alright. Okay.
I mean, you've changed
a diaper, though, right?
- Yeees.
- Okay.
- He's like, "Yeees."
- Not many.
- Okay, good luck!
- So, wipe down his pee-pee--
Okay, do I have--
Can I let go of a leg or kind of or?
I-I kinda try to, like
He thinks it's silly. He's laughing.
He's like, "This guy knows nothing."
Alright--
We're almost done, buddy. We made it.
I feel like he's a natural.
Okay, sorry. I don't know the best method
of doing this part so.
Just--
I know, I know. Look.
-Okay, next.
-Alright. Okay. Okay.
'Kay, and then this thing,
I s-- I suck in on, right?
Yes.
The ultimate test
is sucking snot out of Luca's nose.
-And then you'll put this right--
-I don't know why this is so crazy to me.
Alright, we're going in.
I would give him--
For not knowing anything, I give him a B.
Nice!
Okay, I almost threw up.
That is just mind-blowing to me.
I don't know if anyone's
given you, like, a heads up,
but, like, not only is your wife
gonna be, like, super tired
for the next couple months, but, like--
-My wife. No, no, no.
-Your girlfriend. Your girlfriend.
- Don't say girlfriend. Say wife.
- Your future wife. Your wife. Yeah.
-Um--
-Put a ring on it.
- But then you, yeah, you can't--
- He's trying.
I think Dakota's gonna be a great dad.
And we can see, like,
we both want the same things.
But he wants marriage right now.
You can't be intimate for, like,
the next, like, three
to four months, right?
I know. That's what Taylor was telling me.
Having this baby out of wedlock
may not be ideal in our religion,
but I'm not gonna be pressured by Dakota,
my parents, my family, my religion,
for something I am just not ready to do.
♪♪
We're touching up tattoos?
- Yes. And I might get one more.
- Okay, fun!
Just a little dainty guy, though,
-if I do.
-Yeah.
Hi! This is Jen.
-Hi! Nice to meet you. What's your name?
-Hi. Nice to meet you. Val.
-Val?
-Yes.
Today, I'm going to get my tattoos
touched up and covered up.
I have two little dots on my ankle
that signify just me and Clay
and our marriage.
And I'm excited to be able
to turn a new leaf,
to be able to celebrate
the fact that I'm getting a divorce,
and make light of something
that's already really hard.
Why does everyone get
so many tattoos during a divorce?
I don't know! It's so cheugy.
Even though it's not
a common thing for us Mormons
to maybe be at a tattoo parlor,
I will do anything for Layla.
Honestly, it's courageous of her
to walk away from a marriage,
especially being LDS,
and with everything that's going on
with MomTok and all the drama.
I stand by her wanting to do
what's best for her.
I think I wanna
get something for my sister.
- Are you super close to her?
- No.
We're just so damn busy
with both of our lives.
And, like, she's about
to get married this year
and I just feel like we just
miss each other in life sometimes.
So, I feel like right now,
I'm hoping that this tattoo will be like,
"'Kay, like, I see you,
I hope you see me."
-Yes, yes. That's cute.
-Hopefully, we can, like, start
to, like, be a little bit closer,
'cause, like, I don't have
a close relationship
with, like, honestly,
any of my family and it sucks.
And that's, like,
sometimes, why I feel like
maybe I did rush
into the marriage with Clay
because I craved that family
that I never had.
Security.
Growing up, I did not have a strong
family structure in the slightest.
I felt, always, just out of place at home.
Finding the church
gave me a sense of belonging
and just direction in my life.
But I got married when I was 19.
We had a shotgun wedding
because we got pregnant.
We felt like it was the right thing to do.
We had a lot of people
giving their opinions.
We already messed up the steps that, like,
are normally encouraged in the church.
So, at least we had to do, like,
one thing right by getting married.
And I just don't think we ever had
a very healthy relationship.
Honestly, I've been having this idea
that I think I should throw some type
of like "Death to Divorce" party.
And, like, everyone wear, like, black,
-like, funeral vibes.
-Yeah.
But, like, just to kinda celebrate me
stepping into this new chapter of my life.
I'll have my girls, that's all I need.
I can see you coming
into the next phase of your life
and I'm excited for you.
Not that it's, like, this huge thing,
but what's your plan with dating?
Are you putting it on pause
and just kinda focusing on yourself
or are you like, "Time to find my man"?
I honestly just gonna take it day by day.
If somehow I end up meeting my person
throughout that, awesome.
-It's hard.
-I think that's great.
I want that happy life I've always wanted,
but I just don't wanna rush it this time.
-I feel like so many times, I rush things.
-Yeah.
And then I get
in situations like with Clay,
when I'm like, "Holy shit, like,
how did I-- How am I here?"
You don't need to feel guilty
or feel shame around getting divorced.
I'm not just saying that because
I'm sitting here as a divorced woman,
but truly, like, that's what's
so beautiful about life in general,
is you have the power of choice.
And if that wasn't serving you,
and that didn't work out,
it's not the end of the world.
Within MomTok, we obviously have
this built-in sisterhood,
and at this time, I feel like
Layla really needs us
to come together and support her.
Unfortunately,
it is very culturally normal
to stay in a relationship
in the Mormon Church,
strictly to just make the marriage work.
I think that Layla is definitely breaking
the traditional norm in that sense
and I commend her for that,
it's not easy to do.
Divorce is hard.
I'm starting, like,
this new part of my life
and, like, it doesn't
have to all be so sad.
-Glad I got my girls.
-I love you.
- Let me see the tattoo.
- Yes.
It's so teeny tiny, I love her.
Hello!
-We're ready to smash.
-We're looking to sling
and smash some shit.
-Yeah!
-We have, we have some rage.
- Are we in the right place?
- Of course!
-Hello, everyone.
-Hi, guys.
I think the group relationships
that were maybe a little bit rocky,
are maybe more stable because
we are all seeing similar things.
Whitney is not talking to any of us,
but I think that the purpose
of MomTok is incredible,
and I don't wanna let
one person ruin the fun.
So, today, we are going
to just throw some paint at the walls
and just have a blast.
I don't want orange.
I don't wanna look like I'm going to jail.
Too bad Taylor's not here.
She could've worn the orange one.
It would've been on brand.
- Ready?
- I'm so ready. Let's do it!
Play nice, everyone.
♪♪
I'm, like, having a great time.
But Whitney herself is not there,
and it makes me feel really sad.
There you go. 'Kay.
-Woo-hoo-hoo!
-Way to go!
I need to show you this picture
that I saw on social media.
Layla, Mayci, Mikayla, Demi, Jessi.
It looks like a paint splatter place.
It didn't look like
you or Taylor were invited.
Um, no, 'cause I wasn't invited.
-Why w-- didn't she get invited--
-I'm thinking it's 'cause she's pregnant.
Like maybe they were like,
"She's pregnant." I don't know.
That's fair.
But I'm not pregnant
even though I'd like to be.
Well, why do you think
you didn't get invited in the first place?
Well, I know why I didn't get invited.
- Because I left the group chat.
- Hallelujah ♪
Oh, yeah, I forgot about that.
Yeah. I just think it's so funny,
like, Mayci called me and she was like,
"We're making things so dramatic again."
And I'm like,
"What, what are we making so dramatic?"
She's like, "You leaving the group chat,
now everyone's calling me
asking me why you left the group chat."
I'm like, "No one called me.
You could've called me."
If somebody left that group chat,
I would immediately call them,
I would immediately text them
and say, "Is everything okay?"
I'm not saying that's why I did it.
I'm not saying I left the group chat
so somebody could reach out to me
and ask me how I was doing.
I left the group chat
because I wanted space.
Keep going!
All's fair in love and war, baby.
It's no secret.
Obviously, I care about
what people think about me.
And it's almost like I feel like
people take advantage of that.
They know that I'm going to care.
So, let me make sure
that I post a picture on social media
and make sure that Whitney's gonna see it.
Like, I-- Like, those are the thoughts
that go in my mind. This is exhausting.
♪♪
MomTok has really helped me grow so fast.
I'm launching a business called Baby Mama.
It is a line of natal supplements
for women who are going through
their motherhood journey.
I am the breadwinner in my household
and I crave, like, success.
Oh, my goodness!
What made you wanna do it?
Um, just like-- I think even doing IVF
'cause I saw this, um,
same sex couple with their surrogate,
and I was like,
"Oh, that's, like, their baby mama."
Like, it just, like, in my head,
and I'm like, "Wait, that's a cute name!"
I'm like, technically,
whoever's carrying the baby's
kinda like your "baby mama."
So, we're doing a photo shoot for it,
showing that it's for mothers
and their motherhood journey.
And I invited Taylor.
She's been disconnecting
from the group lately
and I really want to bring her back in
and make her feel comfortable.
She's also pregnant, which is perfect
for my brand, so it's a win-win.
It is cold!
- Hello!
- Hello.
- Come on in.
- Hi.
I did not invite Dakota.
I'm not happy that he's here.
This is for women, number one.
And number two, he likes to follow
Taylor around like a little puppy dog.
It's like she can't do
anything by herself.
-Oh, my gosh! That set is so cute.
-Hi. Thanks. I did not--
- This is the only lavender--
- My hands are cold, but look
at this belly, it's so cute!
There's, like, a baby in there,
like, forget sometimes.
Look at your boobies,
they're so big right now.
- Oh, my gosh, my boobs are huge.
- They are.
Your little strap is coming.
Yeah.
I am a little blindsided
by Taylor asking me to speak to Dakota
at my photo shoot.
It's pretty clear I don't like Dakota.
And there's also been rumors all over
social media that he's cheated on her.
Girls are on my TikTok saying,
"Oh, he was just, like,
with my roommate last week or"
No!
And now I'm like I don't know
if I can trust you, you know?
"Taylor, if you found out today
that Dakota lied
"and actually slept with Jenna that night,
would you leave him
even though you are having his baby?"
100,000% would be dead to me.
I love Taylor and I obviously
wanna be a good friend to her,
but I've made it very clear
that I do not trust Dakota.
I do not want to talk.
♪♪
- It's bad timing.
- Okay.
Just because I have to help direct.
- I have to focus.
- Yeah.
I can't focus if I have to have
an intense conversation.
Mayci and Dakota butt heads.
So, I wanted Dakota and Mayci to talk
because one, I love Mayci,
I think she's a good, loyal friend.
And obviously, I love Dakota
and want them to see eye-to-eye
because they're-they're both just wanting
the best for me I think.
And so, I don't see why there's,
like, this issue between them.
But I feel like
we should do it a different time.
Maybe I can come over tomorrow?
'Cause I have to drop
something off to you anyways.
-Yeah. If that works.
-I can come to your house and we can chat.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Ready for me now?
- Yeah.
Let's do it. Let's do it, girl.
♪♪
You look so good.
Yeah, gimme like super spicy, cute, fun.
Yeah, okay, good.
So cute.
-Bring one hand. Right there.
-Do you want me to hold?
-Yeah, like that.
-Just like that.
- That's on brand for me.
- That is so cute.
Cute!
Yeah.
-That's so cute.
-Flirty.
Oh, you look so pretty, Tay.
- Really?
- Yeah.
She look-- That's what I said,
I'm like, "You look so good."
Look at my stomach,
it's contracting right now.
The baby's stressed, he's like,
"Why is this lady touching me?"
Wait, I need to take a video of this.
I was just gonna say if
Yeah.
Oh! I'm like this isn't
this kinda studio environment.
Dakota is out here trying to get
free photos at my photo shoot.
He's out here taking his shirt off,
acting like a weirdo.
Like, I paid for this.
And this is for my brand.
Like, this isn't just some,
like, one-off thing.
Just get in nice and close;
- face each other.
- Wait, I'm dead.
He's certainly not getting
any bonus points with me.
So, we'll see how this talk goes
after Layla's divorce party tomorrow.
What if you put your hat backwards?
I feel like I might like that vibe better.
- Oh, that's cute. Yes.
- Yeah, yeah, that's perfect.
'Kay, that's perfect.

I wanted to celebrate

Hello!
This is so funny.
I was looking everywhere for Layla.
I was like, "Where is she?"
And I look over and I'm like,
"Is she in a freaking coffin?"
No, she's not.
She just pops up. "Surprise!"
Taylor can't come into here at all.
She can't even step foot.
She can't step foot in a bar or a club.
I have never been to a divorce party.
I can't say I personally would have thrown
a divorce party,
but Layla is definitely
one of my closest friends.
So, I'm excited
for this new chapter in her life.
Where the eff is Layla?
I have been here for 30 minutes
and I haven't seen her.
They said she's here, so I bet she's
gonna make, like, a grand entrance.
Okay, as a--
She just rips off a wedding gown?
-Yeah!
-A wedding gown?
-Like, an outfit change.
-Into her-- Yes. Into her lingerie.
♪♪
- Oh, my gosh, look.
- What the hell is she doing here?
I'm actually surprised
to see Whitney here, to be honest.
It's very bold of her to show up,
especially after leaving the group chat
and not confronting any of us.
I'm glad Whitney showed up.
I do want to give her a chance
to, you know, talk through her feelings,
and if she's willing to do that, why not?
It's about to be a showdown ♪
Whitney and I'm actually--
I'm surprised she's coming,
but I'm also happy that she's not,
like, running away from the group
and running away from the issues
she's having with people
and that she is making an effort
to be a part of the group.
I feel weird.
I feel like everyone's
being so weird around me.
Well, yeah, I mean, didn't you
leave the group chat and everything?
-Yeah, that's true.
-Yeah.
Even though the girls' trip
was an absolute nightmare,
I wanted to show up for Layla,
I wanted to support her, be there for her.
But I was a bit upset
because at the girls' trip,
Jessi had mentioned something.
Whitney will hear information
and she gets close to certain people
and we kinda felt like
it's a rotating door.
And it kinda feels like there's different
people that get to be close to Whitney
if she wants to know the information
because it benefits her.
That's what the group consensus has been.
And I wanna talk to her
and figure out what this is about.
Take a picture?
Yeah, I wanna take a picture,
but I also wanna make sure that
I wanna greet them
-and not have it be weird.
-Yeah.
I don't know if I can sit in this,
I'm not gonna lie.
It's a bit tight.
- I love that dress. It's stunning.
- Thank you. Thanks.
Do you wanna open this, Jace?
-I'm like--
-I think you need a bottle opener.
Yeah, I think that is what you need.
I think you can twist these off.
I know a trick actually.
- Sometimes you can just--
- Feel perfect?
- Show those guns.
- Let me try one more time.
There's gotta be a bottle opener
because there's, like, one on every table.
Ah! No, I'm just
ripping the table to shreds.
Here, I'll go get one.
♪♪
In this next chapter,
I honestly just wanna find myself.
I feel like I've been through
a lot in my life.
And I have never put my focus into myself.
So, if I truly just wanna find what makes
me happy and fills my cup up.
She's single! She's single!
I'm happy to see Layla so empowered now.
Layla's still so young and I feel like
getting divorced so young too.
It's good to see her be in the position
to start taking care of herself.
I love the veil.
It makes me think about
with Taylor's situation
and probably the pressure that
she's feeling to get married,
being pregnant with Dakota's baby.
So, I hope she's still taking
care of herself as well.
-Hey, should I go get Joe?
-Stop it!
I wanna see you guys interact.
I just wanna vibe him out.
-I got good feelers, you know?
-You guys, leave that poor man alone.
- Hey, Joe, you know Layla, right?
- Yeah, I've met Layla.
Joe wants to take you out.
Oh! This just became a whole group affair.
-I know.
-Not the first time for this group.
We'll let you guys get to know each other
-'cause this is awkward with us here.
-You guys.
Yeah, it's awkward already.
I'm ecstatic for her.
Layla has never had an orgasm.
And I hope that
she never settles for a man
that is not willing to prioritize
her happiness and pleasure, ever again.
-You look great.
-Thank you.
Whitney is wondering
why Jessi said that comment,
you know when Whitney
was in the closet and she said,
"You hang out with people
and use them and then you drop 'em."
-Is that what she said?
-Yeah.
But didn't she apologize after
or did she not?
- No.
- Oh.
-So, clearly she feels that way.
-Yeah, and I wanna know why.
Oh, Demi's coming though.
Hi, baby girl. How you guys doing?
-Oh, great. Eating away.
-Fantastic.
-Wait, is that--
-What's all the hot gossip?
Ooh, come with me.
-Me?
-Yeah.
Oh, someone's drinking tonight.
I know, I got my wine.
Okay, so, when
when we were at the girls' trip
and Demi basically attacked me up the ass,
you said something like,
"When Whit-Whitney gets close to someone,
they use 'em and then they move on."
Yeah.
So, from what I've heard from the group,
and this is all coming from just
things I've heard and observed--
- Like, from everyone?
- Yeah.
You've been really close with Jen
and then she's like,
"Oh, and then she kinda drops me
until she needs something again."
Layla said the same thing.
Maybe it's not coming from,
like, a vicious place,
but it sometimes feels like,
"Oh, I'll play with this toy
'til I get bored and I have a new one."
You're having issues
with everyone in the group,
so, for me, I'm like it--
where there's smoke there's fire.
I am not having issues
with everyone in the group.
-Who else am I having an issue with?
-You and Taylor have had issues.
You and Demi are now having issues.
It just feels like that keeps happening.
The reason fucking me and Demi
are having issues
is because she started
a very fucking personal thing in my life.
Before that happened,
-the whole fight happened.
-Yes.
So, what was that?
Like, what triggered that?
'Cause I feel like you guys
It triggered it because
I told Jen how she felt about her.
That's what triggered it.
See, and that's another thing
people think is that you're just
very quick to tell what people are saying.
-Yeah. Interesting.
-And so, it makes it hard to, like,
-trust you, like--
-So, we can, we can call people
white trash, too Mormon-y, doesn't wanna
be around you, and that's okay?
- No, I don't think it's okay.
- But then when I tell--
But then why, why are
we all still, like, so mad at me?
Nobody. Nobody fucking asked me,
"How are you doing?"
Nobody fucking called me
and asked me why I left the group chat.
Hallelujah ♪
Everybody went to fucking Mayci.
If you have an issue of why I left,
then fucking call me.
-So, that pisses me off.
-I think because you leaving the chat
was a little passive-aggressive.
Was it, like, a test? Or like-- What--
Like, to see if someone would reach out?
-Or, like, what was the reason?
-No, it wasn't a test.
I didn't want to see it anymore.
I wanted out.
That was me protecting myself.
That was me taking control
because last weekend was an,
was an absolute fucking nightmare.
Yeah. I get that. I get that.
But I also just feel like, again,
you leaving a group chat of all of us,
it made all of us feel isolated.
I guess I just have
such a different perspective.
If somebody left the group chat,
I'd be, "Are you okay?"
And it's probably because you
are the person that reaches out.
-Well, I don't want to anymore. Holy shit!
-Yeah, yeah.
You think I'm using you? Fuck you!
♪♪
I know that things are tense right now,
but I just want you to know
that, like, what I've said
and heard about you,
is based off of opinions
of the whole group.
-Really?
-Like, Whitney's crying.
I'm not inserting myself
in another situation
I'm not supposed to be in, though.
-I'll find out later.
-No, no, no. Let them work it out.
Tacos!
I think the problem with this group
is we're all saying things
behind each other's back
and you think someone's your friend
and they're really not.
Because I'm telling you,
every single person in our group
has said something about you,
minus Mayci. I will give her that.
She's really loyal to you.
-I feel like a fucking idiot right now.
-Why?
'Cause, like, what the fuck is going on?
I don't feel like everyone's pissed at me,
but clearly, I'm wrong
and it fucking stings.
It-It-- Right in the heart.
Stab right in the heart.
-I wanna leave.
-No, you can't do that.
- I am.
- I'm telling you--
Attention, everyone!
Thank you for coming to Layla's funeral.
I'd like to raise a toast. Thank you!
Thank you, everyone, for coming
to Layla Wessel's funeral.
After my talk with Jessi,
I'm just like, "Did you want me to hurt?"
That felt like you wanted me to feel pain.
Not because you cared about me
because you wanted me to hurt.
Well, cong-fuckin'-grats
because that fuckin' hurt.
I just wanted to say that
I'm extremely proud
of the mother that you are.
Like, this is so stupid.
It's exhausting at this point.
Ride the wave, babe, 'cause it's a lot.
I feel like I'm in high school.
But I know you can handle it
and I'm excited for you
to step into this new life
Whitney!
that you are stepping into.
It's gonna be a journey,
and I'm here for all of it.
So, love you.
I'm just so fed up at this point.
Uh, here I am questioning, like,
I don't even know if I wanna be
friends with you women.
And it's like, well,
sounds like you feel the same way.
You're not even sure if you wanna
be friends with me.
You don't want me in the group?
You think I'm using everybody?
Fine. Peace out.
Go figure it out yourself.
-I love you.
-I love you!
-Never put me on the spot like that again.
-I'm sorry!
I love you, guys.
I saw you guys making out.
I don't know what Jessi said
to make Whitney leave so suddenly,
but that's not good.
I do worry about MomTok,
and at this point,
maybe MomTok won't survive.
♪♪
- 'Kay, can't you juggle?
- Yeah.
- Can-- Will you show me?
- Hang on, Taylor. You gotta do three.
Two in this hand.
And so, all you do, is you just cross 'em.
-You just make an X the whole time.
-Oh, really?
But you're not doing anything with, like--
Where's the third one?
Yeah, so, it just--
-It fits in the rotation somehow.
-Let me see.
X, X, X, X, X, X, X.
-There's more than an X.
-Like, you're just crossing--
Oh, it just hits you.
- Just hits the baby?
- Yeah.
Um, Mayci's coming over, by the way.
-Oh, she is?
-Yeah.
Do you want me to leave?
No. Why would I want you to leave?
- Well, I don't know.
- Do you not wanna be here?
Well, no, I just-- I mean, like,
you're just hanging out with Mayci.
You want me to just
kick it with Mayci too?
Well, actually, yeah,
because this would be the perfect time
for you guys to, you know, clear the air.
You guys eventually have to.
We do so much together
and it's just this awkward
thing between you guys.
I'm not gonna start anything, but, like,
if she wants to start something with me,
-then I'll at least, like, talk to her.
-There's something already started.
You guys can just talk about it.
Just say, "Yo, Mace,
what's your effin' problem?"
You want me to do that?
You want me to throw
my arms out like that?
Maybe not like that.
No, I'm gonna do that.
That's how I'm gonna start.
I did invite Mayci
to have a conversation with Dakota.
I'm about to give birth,
and I really just want her
and Dakota to clear the air.
- Oh, look who it is!
- What's up, Mayci?
-How are you doing?
-Oh, my gosh. Did you get that--
That's so nice of you.
Thank you for getting me that gift.
I'm like, "Oh, here, here's some
fertile gummies I'm getting him."
- Some postpartum gummies.
- Yeah.
I do think Mayci and Dakota are able
to see eye to eye on things.
I don't necessarily know if they'll ever
be truly fans of each other, deep down.
But, yes, I do think
we can make things civil.
And honestly, if we all just want the best
for each other,
I don't know why we can't just
have that mutual agreement.
What are you doing?
- Well, just say it now.
- Oh.
- Say what?
- Well, what were you gonna say?
- Nothing.
- Oh!
I'm confused.
Oh, my gosh. I didn't know he saw me.
We just need to have a convo.
It's as simple as that.
No, I agree. For me,
it's been this, like, built-up thing
of, like, resentment towards you.
It's not like I don't like you as a person
'cause, clearly, when we're together
in person, I'm like, "Oh, fun."
And in the beginning,
I do feel like I was on your side.
And then, after a while, I feel like
Taylor would come to me and vent to me
and be like, "Hey, like, he's doing this."
Or he-- Or sometimes we'd observe it.
Like, we were at, um, a wedding once,
and she's like,
"Oh, Dakota's pissed at me."
And, like, she showed us
some of the messages,
- and they were very harsh on your end.
- Yeah.
And I think you said, you're like,
"Well, I say it back to him."
But then there's times where,
like, I think I don't wanna--
Maybe I was projecting my past
because I'm like, okay, like,
I used to say the same thing
to my friends, though, to, like,
"excuse the behavior"
because I was, like, didn't want my
friends to not like the guy I was dating.
I feel like I am so protective with Taylor
and her relationship with Dakota
because I see a lot of signs in Dakota
that I saw in my abusive ex-boyfriend.
There's a lotta things that he did
verbally, emotionally, physically,
that were big red flags.
Although it's not as severe
as the relationship I was in,
I see those red flags and it scares me.
And so, I wanna do my best
to protect Taylor
because I don't want what happened to me
to end up happening to her.
As time went on, and I'd hear
more fights or different things,
I'm like, "I don't like him."
And I think, for me,
it's a mixture of, like, my past
and seeing similar--
You're nothing like my abuser,
let me just put that straight,
so you're not thinking
I'm calling you an abuser
-Yeah, thank you. I appreciate that.
-or anything like that.
'Cause I don't want you
to think I'm doing that.
But there's been similarities with,
like, jealousy and possessiveness,
and, like, sometimes emotional abuse
with, like, language and things
where I'm like, "Mm, that's not okay."
All I hope is that you do
just want what's best for us.
No, I do.
And, like, so I-I think it was hard
because, like, if you're still feeding
into her ear like, "Be done with him."
- Yeah.
- Like, in this situation, like,
I think that that's, like,
really hard for me.
Because, like, I have
someone that's, like,
really putting something in between us,
like, making things even harder for us.
If you guys are solid,
nothing that, like, I say or other people
say, like, should ruin that.
I don't know.
Like, I feel like there's just stuff that
I have, like, major trust issues with.
It's, like, hard to progress to,
like, into marriage and stuff.
And I feel like because of our beginning
it's where it's, like, pushed us back.
Like, I am terrified.
And you want me to be,
like, there and, like, ready.
And I'm just--
I'm, like, not, I'm not there.
♪♪
Like, you came
in my life and I think I trusted you
t-to be a good person to know me
and you were.
You were a good friend.
But the lies in the beginning
that I asked you not to do,
there were just more things
that came out that hurt.
And I'm not over it.
I met Dakota and,
I done the whole shitshow thing,
I wanna start fresh,
I wanna have a good relationship,
just be honest with me.
Three weeks in, we're, like, getting
closer, he's spending the night,
we're, like, sleeping together.
I ask him, I was like,
"Hey, do you wanna hang out?"
And he goes like,
"I'm hanging out with my guys tonight."
And he sends a picture
with him and all his guy friends.
I was like, "Okay. Awesome.
Have fun tonight."
Again, we're still not dating.
But then, later in our relationship,
he told me that,
that night,
he went off and hooked up with a girl.
Like, I feel like he came in and hurt me.
And I'm angry at him
because I-I-I love him,
but I'm not ready to give in to him.
Feel like I'm still not healed to this day
from the lies he told
and that, like, he chose,
like, someone else over me.
And I think it, like--
It, like, hits a different spot in me
where I just-- I didn't feel good enough.
And I still don't 'cause I'm like,
if I was good enough,
he wouldn't've done that to me.
I feel bad because
it's, like, been a long time.
And we're having a baby and, um
I can't get over it. I can't get over it.
I've been honest that I'm not ready
to progress because I'm scared
something else is gonna come out.
But do you blame me?
I mean, I'm just gonna say, like,
but you've also self-sabotaged
almost this entire relationship as well.
-Being in this, like--
-I'm in a relationship with you.
It doesn't matter.
You can be in a relationship with someone
and not be in it.
And that is where the whole issues lie is
it's, like, I don't know what your--
want from me either.
Even during that "the talking stage,"
like, again, like, she also told me like,
"Hey, you can go date whoever,
you can hook up with whoever,
and you don't have to tell me."
You lied, though.
Like, I asked him to come over that night.
He ended up at another girl's house
hooking up with her.
You're thinking I, like, did this
so intentional to you.
- Nothing was intentional.
- I don't think it
was intentional. I think that,
don't tell me you can't hang out
'cause I have guys' night, and you end up
at a girl's house hooking up.
-That's the point there.
-O-Okay, sure, I get what you're saying--
You don't get it.
'Cause that's what we still fight about.
You weren't my girlfriend.
What did you expect me to think?
-Three days before.
-But how you're treating me is insane.
You fucked someone through-- I found out,
and then you go lie and hook up.
I planned on hashing things out
with Dakota
and it turns into the two
of them fighting.
This is crazy.
I do not feel like
I should be here seeing this.
'Kay, well, are you upset because he lied?
Or are you upset 'cause you feel
like he chose that girl over you?
- Both.
- That. That's the one.
Both of 'em.
I was only dating two girls
during that time anyways.
Is that not gross, though?
In Utah, to date two people?
No. To fuck me all week,
lie to me, and then--
Sure, if you look at it that way,
Taylor, yes, sure.
And this is after I found out
that he fucked a girl the night before
he fucked me for the first time.
I think what surprised me the most
was when Taylor said,
"You went and effed a girl
the night before me,
then you eff me all week,
and then you eff someone else."
I was like, "Whoa!
There's a lot of effing going on here."
Y-You're, like, wondering, "Why won't
you marry me? Why are you not ready?"
No shit! I'm-I'm scared
that there's a third person--
- Then why have a baby with me?
- I could still be with you
and wanna be with you,
I don't have to wanna marry you.
For good reason. I don't trust you.
I'm trying to make
this work with you, Taylor.
I want someone
who is actually in it with me
and wants to work through things
and fix things and get to a good place.
That's all I've ever asked from you.
I've never asked for you
to for-forgive me right now
or to have full trust in me.
I just need you
to actually feel like you're on my side
and wanting to do this together.
Especially, given the situation now.
You're about to have a baby!
My first baby!
- You can leave at, like, any time.
- I don't wanna leave you.
That's what I'm saying.
I want, like, you to feel better.
I want to work through these things.
Dakota wants to get married.
He wants to take that next step.
He so desperately wants
to be in a happy family and marriage.
But I think it's frustrating for him
because he has this pressure
from our religion of getting married.
Especially when you get pregnant
out of wedlock.
I'm willing to work through anything!
I made it very clear
that I didn't wanna get married
because I'm not ready, I'm not there yet.
I wanna trust Dakota,
but I'm not getting married
'cause I'm having a baby.
And as a couple, I actually have
no idea where we're going.
