Welcome to this week’s episode of Teen Mom 2! The show is airing early tonight thanks to the MTV TV and Movie Awards (hosted by Tiffany Haddish, in case you didn’t know) so that means we might have more viewers. If so, welcome. Let’s get this started.

We start with Jenelle. Over on Jenelle’s house, her home is sinking and there’s air coming out of her ceiling. The Vice President of the house company will check it out and see that it’s totally nothing that David and Jenelle did.

Chelsea’s house is still in one piece. Her big issue is child support. Long story short, druggy ex Adam is paying nothing in child support. She’s told Aubree that her father is not feeling well, and mentioned drugs — which she wasn’t totally familiar with. Chelsea said she only felt safe for her to meet with her father at the center, and nowhere else. Adam’s mom isn’t super happy with the arrangement, but uh — back off, mom. Your son’s on drugs, let the stable force raise the kid.

Javi’s Big News

Kail and Javi are going through some trouble too, but not as severe. Javi says he’s deploying again and leaving next month for another six months. He’ll be asking Kail to watch over Lincoln full time, but wants to spend as much time as possible with him until. “I need us to be on the same page too,” Kail tells Javi, saying she wished he made better choices. (That is, not being with Briana.) Supposedly there’s a group text where Briana tells Kail she’s a bitch and a bad mom, and Javi never sticks up for Kail to say she’s the mother of his child. Javi asked how many guys ran through her house when he was last deployed, and Kail stated it was only her friends. Anything she did was after she had filed for divorce.

So, okay. Javi is kind of a jerk in this situation, but at least he’s a good dad. He says hi to both Lincoln and Isaac before he goes, and it’s obvious he’s got quite a connection with them.

And Speaking Of Connections…

Leah’s kids are cute as ever, with Gracie saying she doesn’t like being a “hot mess” in the morning. But the Messer kid focused on this episode is Addie, as it’s Addie’s birthday. Remember last week, when Jeremy called her to apologize for all the bad crap he’s said about her in the past? “It’s good to hear,” she admits. Leah admits her and Jeremy slept together a few months ago. But it’s a road she doesn’t want to go back down. Maybe. Possibly. Who knows.

Over at Briana’s weird house, Briana is asked if she sees a future with Javi. And she’s all like “I don’t knowwwwwwwwwwww stop asking me these questionnnnnnsss.”

The two meet up at the airport and hug. He says hi to Stella and tells Nova he missed her. Nova doesn’t respond.

Once he’s safely inside the house, Javi breaks the deployment new to Briana. Javi knows it’s “going to be fine” and Briana, to her credit, is trying to stay positive. “When you come back, you’re going to be old?!” Nova asks him. Older, yes. But probably not an elder.

Hey, a spoiler alert right here: Javi’s expecting a child with a woman that’s not Briana right now.

Adam’s parents are allowed to get lunch with Aubree once a week, which is nice. But they didn’t show up the day Chelsea thought. Aubree, being a goofy kid, doesn’t seem to really care. Drama, right?

Chatting Up The Modular Home VP

Speaking of drama, David talked to the modular home Vice President to show them their issues. When he asked for 12 inches of dirt, they gave him 4. “This is probably the worst of the problems inside,” he says, showing the sinking. They never made any positive drainage. David wants his house on stilts. And if they don’t do it, Jenelle’s going to tweet about it to her 12 million Twitter followers! (BTW, she has 1.4 million. Still impressive, but nowhere near 12.)

Speaking of jerks, Javi and Briana are off to get a couples tattoo. They’re going to regret this shit. Javi spouts some crap about valuing a long-term relationship. “I want that,” he says. They get chess pieces. No lie, they’re not terrible. So many of these Teen Moms have awful tats.

Kail’s tats are plentiful, but not super terrible. She’s chatting about how Chris’s parents think they might try to keep Lux from them, and that’s not what she wants. She’s happy for the chance for Lux to see his dad. Even though they’re related, she still has a fear that she’s handing him to a stranger. The thought makes her nauseous. But, she gets through it.

Now let’s talk about HOOKUPS. Because Leah is mingling with Jeremy again, and they’ll be having a joint party together. Addie is hilarious about their divorce, with Jeremy saying she’s going to kill him before he’s 40. Once again, Jeremy apologizes. Jeremy admits Leah was in a dark place during the divorce and is doing so much better…

In Which Breaking The Wall Is A Bad Idea

…but then a producer jumps in and admits he expected a rendezvous for some time. He makes shit awkward, especially since Addie is right there, and the conversation is dropped.

Over on the Land, Jenelle and David bought a bunch of survival shit on Amazon in case “shit hits the fan” with Trump. David thinks it’s a good idea to bring up the creepy meeting with the VP. In his eyes, he didn’t understand the actual problem. If they go to court, everyone will lose their jobs!

Briana gets lunch with a friend to talk about Javi and their matching tats. Supposedly Javi pled with her not to leave him during all this. Meanwhile, Briana isn’t stressing at all.

Now, Time For “Adult Chat”

According to Cole and Chelsea, Adam’s parents felt “blindsided” by the court thing. “It’s clear she was blaming me,” Chelsea says. Adam’s mom said he doesn’t do drugs, even though court papers totally said he did. Adam’s parents told Aubree that Cole and Chelsea are lying to her, which is insane. “This is just crazy,” Chelsea says. FYI, Adam once sent Chelsea a text saying that Aubree was a mistake. That was on film. Maybe someone should send that to his precious parents as a gif.

Kail gets cute with Lincoln and asks him where he thinks his baby brother is. Their best guess — a restaurant. But it’s time for pickup, so now we can know for sure. Lux is back in one piece, and he seemingly had a good time. They went to Target and got him a bunch of weird crap like hangers.

Javi is talking more about his deployment. He thinks this will really test his relationship with Bri. WHAT IF THE TATTOOS AREN’T ENOUGH? He already drops the L-bomb, in terms of how she supposedly feels about him. And, guys, he bought a fucking ring.

He plans to give it to her before deployment. His buddy is all like, wait a minute dude. This is moving a little too quick. Ya think?…
