Recap of Maci Bookout's Special "Being Maci"

Starcasm.net

In Teen Mom Maci Bookout's special you get to see where Maci is now: raising her 4-year old son Bentley and finally getting to be a normal college student.

Maci starts off the special by telling everyone what has changed since her Teen Mom days. She is now single (or was when the special was filmed) and lives with two of her new college friends in what they call, "The Treehouse".

Maci and her friends go bowling with Bentley and we get to see a little bit of how she parents Bentley. When he throw a tantrum, Maci takes him to the bathroom and spanks him. This was an act so controversial that she and her Teen Mom co-star Tyler Baltierra had to come to her defense via Twitter. (Really people, spanking lightly is NOT abuse).

We then get to see Ryan and his annoying girlfriend (now ex) bitch about what what Maci does on the weekends. They go on and on about how Maci and her friends partying during weekends when Bentley isn't there hurts him. (If Bentley isn't there, so what if she goes out and enjoys herself!)

When Maci and her friends go out to a club, they see Ryan there. (Didn't he have Bentley that night?) She and Ryan briefly catch up and Ryan evens gets a little flirty. The next day, Maci says she doesn't she and Ryan will get back together, but if he were to ask her to dinner as a friend, she would say yes.

What did you think of the special? Should Maci get her own spin-off show?

Joe vs. Heather. Source: vh1.com

So this episode starts off with Tyler and Catelynn sitting outside together. Tyler calls his mother and when he tells her that the wedding is off, she is very excited and happy that he and Catelynn have come to this decision. She knew that Tyler isn't truly happy with everything in his life and that they both need work their own individual issues before walking down the isle.


So glad Tyler's mom took the news well:)

Before the first therapy session of this episode, the couples notice a lie detector on the table in the therapy room. When they arrive at the therapy session, they are relieved to find out that they will not be using it. Instead, Dr. Jenn brings in a human lie detector who is more accurate. She digs deep into the couples' actions and body language. She then talks about what these actions mean about their relationships and what they could mean for the couples's futures.

She particualarly digs deep into Joe and Abbey's relationship and their fears for the future. When she digs deep into Abbey's fears, Abbey has a breakdown and admits that she is afraid her eating disorder will kill her.


Abbey has a hard time admitting her fears to the group.

After the group therapy session, Dr. Jenn decides to put more of her attention towards Abbey and helping her recover from her eating disorder. Having suffered an eating disorder herself, Jenn know exactly what Abbey needs in order to take the first step towards recovery. She takes Abbey to a restaurant and asks her to make a list of all the foods she is the most afraid of trying. Jenn then orders some of those foods and asks her to try some of them. This helps Abbey take the first step towards finding the joy in food again.


So many scary foods, so little time!

Next, Jenn focuses her attention on Catelynn and the issues she has with her mother, April. When April agrees to fly out to the therapy house, she and Catelynn attend a session with Dr. Jenn where they talk about her alcohol addiction during Catelynn's childhood and how it affects their relationship now. April also talks about her own childhood trauma and she uses alcohol to numb the pain.


This was a much-needed session for Catelynn and her mom.

Flave approached Dustin about Joe showing his Dustin's sex tapes to everyone in house and he gets pissed off. Then, as the couples are having dinner together in the house, Joe starts a blowout fight with Heather about her boyfriend's past. When Joe proceeds to throw water at Heather, Dustin steps in and threatens to give Joe a much-needed, much-deserved ass whooping.


Mess with my girl and you answer to me, pal.

Flav in a group session with Dr. Jenn. http://vh1.mtvnimages.com/mobile/vh1_mobilepreview/flipbooks/Shows/Couples_Therapy/308/2.jpg?quality=0.85

After getting into a heated argument, Flav and Joe each meet up with Dr. Jenn to talk about what happened. While Flav is ready to make peace with Joe, Joe is being his usual doshebag self and continues to trash talk him. The two men and Abbey (why was she there?) sit down together with Dr. Jenn make ammends... for now.

 
Joe and Flav bury the hatchet and get along for once.

While Dr. Jenn is busy dealing with Flav and Joe, another therapist is meeting with Tyler to talk about the issues he has with his dad. Tyler likes it better when his dad is in prison because whenever he gets out, he starts to worry about him dying of a drug overdose. The therapist reminds Tyler that what happens to his dad is not his responsibility and he shouldn't blame himself for what happens in the future. Tyler agrees, but is having a hard time letting go. When Catelynn comes outside to check on him, he gets emotional and Catelynn is there to comfort him.


These two couldn't be any cuter :)

In the next group therapy session they talk about a topic that hasn't been addressed yet: sex. Tyler explains the insecurity he feels when Catelynn doesn't want to do it, Dustin and Heather talk about how Dustin's past in porn affects their sex life, and Chingy and Temple talk about being on different pages on if they want to continue having sex or not.

The couples then go a junkyard for a special exercise on hurt and anger. Tyler is he first one to go releasing some built up aggression about his childhood, especially his dad. His finishes, feel much better, saying it was, "My best exercise yet."


Tyler has needed and exercise like this for a long time!

Dr. Jenn then to Joe, but Joe, being his usual doushebag self, refuses to participate because he "doesn't believe in violence" (Yeah, Joe. You don't believe in violence, but you believe in judging and/or verbally attacking everyone in the house? YEAH THAT MAKES TOTAL SENSE!!!) Abbey is reluctant as well until Dr. Jenn reveals a special surprise: a scale. Once Abbey sees the scale, Joe encourages her to beat the crap out of it and does so, feeling so much better afterwards.


Abbey vs. The Scale

Dr. Jenn then turns to Liz and asks if she wants to break some dishes. Liz agrees right away letting out all the built up anger from Flav's betrayal.


Liz probably needed this exercise more than anyone else in the house!

In the end, this exercise makes Flav emotional as he is finally beginning to understand Liz.


Flav and Liz have a touching moment after the anger exercise.
