Welcome back to Another life After Locker Recap, Season five, episode six.
I think who knows who cares. The episode title is called Deleted but not
Forgotten, And y'all, this was a crazy episode. So many things happened.
It was so good I would rate it like a nine out of ten.
I don't even know who to begin with. I want to talk about
Taylor and Chance so freaking bad, but I'm gonna save them for last,
So let's start with Justine and Michael. Oh, talking about them is gonna
piss me off. So everybody gathers at Michael's mother's house, his sister,
sister in law, Justine's mom, and the seventy two kids. They're all
having this huge, delicious looking breakfast. Everybody's in good spirits. Justine's looking
at the whole entire family getting along and she smiles and she's like, Wow,
this is everything I ever wanted, you know, my family and his
family and everybody getting together and spending time together. It's just it's just so
nice. Justine goes on to say how she feels bad because Mike's children have
already lost him for six years to the prison system, and his two youngest
ones never spend any time with him, and now they're gonna feel like she's
taking their father away from them again. Well, news flash, Justine,
that's cause you are okay, you literally are taking the father away from them.
Granted, I know it's ultimately his decision, so the responsibility is really
on him. At the end of the day. All of a sudden,
Michael says, this is great and all, but I have an announcement to
make. Me and the family are moving to Vegas. Huh, what about
your other kids? Like, what about the new baby. I thought the
new baby was gonna be born in Rhode Island and we were all gonna be
together. And Justine says, I hope you guys can understand that this decision
will give our entire family positive opportunities. You mean you and Michael, And
then she goes on to say, but especially for Michael and his music and
everything he's been deprived of for a very long time because he was in prison.
Listen, Oh, that statement pissed me the off. Listen. I
get that you want to start living your life and doing things for yourself after
having lost so many years in prison. I get it, Listen, I
get it. I do. But then don't have so many effing kids.
Okay, as long as you have kids, In my opinion, I feel
like it's your responsibility as a parent to put your kids first. This is
why I don't understand why some people have kids. They're not accessories. They're
not cute little things that you hope one day will become your best friends.
If you choose to have children, then you should prioritize them and their needs.
Some of you may not agree, but that's just what I think.
That's my opinion. If you don't agree, then eat my ass. By
the way, Michael has two six year olds and I thought they were twins,
but they're not. They're siblings because he got two women pregnant the same
time. Oh my god. Okay, so one of the six year old
asks him, can we come with you? And Michael says, in a
perfect world, yes, his other six year old, here's this, and
she starts withdrawing and she's crying. No. We're hoping that you guys will
support our decision, Kaliki in a perfect way. Yes, I will talk
to you. Mom. What's wrong over hey, beautiful girl? What's another
what's a mother? And now here's another thing that pissed me off. Justine
goes, what's the matter, what's the matter, what's wrong? Don't ask
her? What's wrong? You isn't you know what's wrong? What do you
think is wrong? Michael picks up his daughter, who's crying, and he
echoes, Justine, what's wrong, baby? What's wrong? Oh? You
guys, my blood start to boil. His sister chimes in and she says,
Michael, what do you mean what's wrong? She's obviously upset. She's
your kid and you're moving. Thank you. Finally someone with a working brain
says something, Someone with common sense. Finally, someone who these idiots should
be so effing grateful for, because she's been there for his kids when he
couldn't be, which is most of the time, and now it's going to
be all the time. His sister gets emotional and talks about how all the
kids crying right now reminds her of when they used to cry while Michael was
in prison. Freaking heartbreaking. Justine mom asks them, when you guys made
this decision, did you guys base it on what's best on the kid's behalf?
Now? Of course they didn't. They were probably like them kids,
It's all about Michael and his rap career. Justine says, well, Michael's
going to have to have a conversation with the kids' moms about visitation, and
guess what, he hasn't even brought up that conversation to the moms. So
why is he acting all heartbroken and upset over this decision when he didn't even
talk to their moms about it, I mean, had that conversation with them.
Shit, So you made the decision without even consulting with them. No.
His seventeen year old daughter Melody is crying as well, and she talks
about how she's going to miss her dad again and all of her other siblings
who are moving, and even though she's old enough to where she could move
with them, she doesn't want to leave the other kids behind. They can't
go, and then they're gonna feel like they're completely left alone. Like what
the freak? These poor kids do not deserve this. I feel so freaking
bad to think at any point you would want to move down there. I
actually have no idea because Mason, Mason and over are out here too,
as I got torn between like a bunch of people that I love, So
I don't know which way I'd want to go. Michael comes up with a
brilliant plan. Sorry, I'm laughing because it's so funny that he thinks this
is even remotely possible. His plan is that he will fly to Rhode Island
once a month to see the kids, and then the kids will fly out
to Vegas once a month, so they'll see each other every other week.
Okay, yeah, good luck with that. So everyone's crying, they're saying
they're goodbyes. Michael's like, I know it's tough now, but I gotta
do this and it's all gonna make sense later. Okay. So, uh,
Dumb and Dummer walk out in their matching race car suits to their big
bus so that they can head over back to Pennsylvania so that they can start
packing and get started on their move to Vegas. Now, it's hilarious how
nonchalant they are about this. They're like, I know it's hard, but
it's got to be done. Uh no, it doesn't. I do feel
bad that I'm moving further away, but it's something that you know has to
be done. Okay. So they're back in Pennsylvania. They're starting to pack
up their house. Meanwhile, Michael gets a call from I think his parole
officer who wants him to come in. So he drives over there, goes
in, comes out, and he says that they weren't able to expedite their
transfer because I guess they need approval for him to move from Pennsylvania to Vegas,
but there was paperwork that he needed to sign and submit so that the
approval can go through, but he never got it in the mail. Therefore,
no sign paper means no transfer. So basically the move has to be
on hold because he can't move until he gets that official approval. And now
he's got to break the news to Justine. Now he's stressing out. He
was like, oh, how could I have forgotten? I knew I should
have checked in more. I should have done this, I should have done
that. How am I going to break the news to my boss Justine?
So he's like driving around, huffing, stressed out, and then he does
a video call with Justine and he tries to break the news, but he
just can't because she's so excited. She's like packing the boxes. She's like,
oh my god, we're going to sell our new lives without your kids
in Vegas, blah blah blah. And he just can't break the news on
video call. He's like, all right, I gotta go home and I
gotta break the news in person. Now he's stressing because this is not only
going to be a huge inconvenience to I don't know whatever, but it's gonna
be a financial burden because the move alone is costing ten thousand dollars. But
now on top of that, he has to pay the mortgage on the new
house in Vegas plus the rent in Pennsylvania until they can move. So good
luck. Now on to Melissa and Louis. Hey, let me just say
Louis the biggest surprise for me this season. He turned out to be completely
the opposite of what I had expected him to be. Like initially I thought
he'd be just this big player and he was gonna break Melissa's heart and not
really get back on the bright track. But he's just been so amazing,
Like I think I'm starting to develop a crush on him, So Melissa,
you better watch out. Louis headed to the gym to apply for a job.
He says in prison he fell in love with working out and exercising that
he'd give training tips to the other inmates, and he wants to help people
change their lives through fitness, so he meets with the manager. They say
hello, and then the manager says, so, do you have a valid
ID? Because I got to do a background check. I do background checks
on everybody. Okay, did you hear I do a background check? And
Louis goes, oh, okay, Well, just to let you know,
I do have a history. I was just released from prison for committing armed
robbery and I did ten years, and I was an addict. I went
from pills to heroin. But I've completely changed my life. I'm five years
sober and I cannot wait to better myself. Okay, I'm ready to work
and be a really good person in society. I don't think the manager was
too happy to hear this. He feels like things might start off great,
but then we'll quickly decline and blow up into pieces. He also tells Louis,
you know, you seem like a great guy, but I don't trust
drugs. I've seen people ten years clean and then go back. I'm like,
geez, is this what you really want to tell someone who's trying to
turn their lives around? Like talk about a wet, waking blanket, Like
I understand he has his own personal experiences that have a teared down his optimism,
but damn I felt bad for Louie in that moment. It must really
suck for people who have learned from their mistakes and who have become better people
in prison and they want to start their lives over again, but then the
system just throws them out and says, good luck. You're probably never gonna
find a job with your record. But it's not our problem now, bade,
you know. So he gets home from his interview. Melissa has been
setting up for the housewarming party, and she's like, Louis, where have
you been? And he's like, at the interview, I think it went
well, but I don't think he trusts the whole drug thing. And she
goes, oh, so you wasted your whole day again, and he's like,
no, it wasn't a waste of time. It was a learning experience.
It's a waste of time today. No, nothing is a waste of
time. It's always a learning time. You need anything, Yes, we
have to get ready. What do you mean do I need anything? Louis
went on a job interview, so what's wrong with that? It was a
waste of time, you gotta start somewhere, Melissa. I swear to God,
you better stop complaining and cut him some slock or I swear I'm gonna
slide into his DMS with a picture of Maya potatas if you know what I'm
saying. Melissa's family arrives to the house and one of her sisters looks exactly
like her. I was getting confused as to who was who. She's the
tatted version of her. She pulls Donna aside to talk to her, and
she basically tells her that she doesn't trust Louie because she doesn't trust addicts.
Apparently she had a very bad experience with her ex, who is an addict.
He was super clean and then all of a sudden he relapsed and he
passed away, I think. And so Donna's mom was like, oh my
god, I'm so sorry. But I know Louis like he's trying to better
his life, he's so excited for his new beginning. Blah blah blah.
She was like, still don't trust him. I just don't trust Louie as
a person. I'll never trust an addict. Okay, what the hell is
up with everybody just shitting on Louie. I mean maybe, I don't know.
I just feel so bad for the guy. Melissa's dad tells Donna that
if Louis breaks Melissa's heart, he's gonna go looking for Louis, and despite
being seventy five years old, prison doesn't scare him. Then Donna goes,
if Melissa breaks Louie's heart, I won't be looking for her, But don't
turn around because somebody else may be looking for her. Like, what the
hell is going on with these threats? So after they threaten each other,
they go outside to have a smoke together and then they bond over being Italian
and being a family. Now, so I think things are good. I
think, how did things go over with my mom and you? Everything's good?
Yeah, we should be madved. In three months, it's time for
Donna to say goodbye to Louis, and it's very emotional. I have to
admit I did as well. I did tear up a little. It was
such a bittersweet moment. I think as annoying as Donna is, she truly
truly loves her son. Her son is everything to her and you know it's
sad for her to let him go, but she did. Now let's talk
about that and Blaine. It's gonna be real quick. It's not that interesting.
Lindsey tells her daughter Miley that she proposed to Blaine. Milly's not crazy
about it. She feels like her mom deserves better, and also she feels
that it's weird that Blaine didn't propose and she did. And she's like,
so you settled, and she's like, I know, Molly, I just
want to hurry up and get married before I get locked up again. Later,
she talks to Blaine and she shows him her hand and her empty ring
finger, and she's like, blind, you see that empty ring finger.
That finger's looking a little empty. You see it's just so empty, looking
so sad fx it. She tries to give him many many hints that she
wants a freaking ring, and he goes, Lauren, well you deserve the
very bus. I cannot just give you any old ride, oh b I
don't want to just go get you some little puny ass little ring like you're
the best. I don't give you the best. And she says, Blaine,
I don't care if it's a two dollar ring. It can look like
whatever it can cost whatever. I don't care. I just want a ring.
I don't even care. I don't care. It looks like how much
it costs. And Blaine's starting to feel a little pressured and he doesn't like
it. He's like a line the all over with all my harm. I'm
not gonna give you a crap brain. Let's go and turn to her finger
cry to me and get some your finger grain, Blaine. I don't care,
I just want action. Wilson's wearing Saucha Rasha, Gobba and Horbo with
hab a baby. I'm not having a baby. Hell no, speaking of
baby, she hasn't told him that she has an iud in and so there's
no chance for babies. And she feels bad that she hasn't told him.
I feel like, who cares, it's your body. You can tell him
later when you guys are seriously, like in that conversation where he really really
wants to have a baby, and and you guys have that serious conversation,
then you can tell him. But until then you don't have to do anything.
Okay, No, let's talk about Chance and Taylor. So they're in
the garage making an epoxy table and Taylor goes sala Chance, So are you
gonna tell me what happened with Babo, and Chance goes, ugh, oh,
yeah, it's fine now, Like I owed him some money, and
you know, I don't have a thousand dollars just lying around, so I
borrowed some money from Zach to pay Babo and he's never gonna threaten us ever
again. And Taylor goes, kay, is that it? And Chance,
being the thoughtful, chivalrous, well meaning man he is, planned a surprise
for her after everything he put her through. She's like, oh my god,
Chance, he should enough. He covers her eyes and brings her outside,
and tada, she opens her eyes to a crusty ass old limo.
Taylor's mind immediately goes to how much this cost? And he goes, don't
worry, babe, it was free. Okay, well, Ellie's that's within
her budget. Apparently he borrowed it from Zach for the night to try and
convince Taylor that they should invest in this limo business. Of course, he
has an ulterior motive on top of the limo. He hired a show fur
You guys whoever did the subtitles literally wrote show for so they're sitting on top
of those crusty ass seeds and they're being driven around. There's a loud,
sudden noise and Taylor goes, I think the tire just fell off, and
he's like, nah, this is an incredible vehicle, which, by the
way, makes seventy five hundred dollars a week. Did you know that?
Don't you think that would be a great investment? Tailor, I don't know
about that. Chance, So he takes her to a fine dining restaurant called
shug a Burger and they eat burgers for dinner in the trunk. He pops
the trunk. I'm surprised it didn't break open, and Taylor's like, this
is Chance's last chance to chance it because he's had so many chances and there
are no more chances for Chance to chance. You know what I'm chancing.
So a few weeks later, Okay, a producer gets a text message from
Taylor saying that she kicked Chance out of the mother effing ouse. Okay,
something big must have happened for Taylor to kick him out of the house.
Production immediately flew out to the house to see what was going on. So
apparently, one night Chance got home from work and demanded he see Taylor's phone.
So then she demanded to see his phone too, and when she went
through his phone, there was a text message, just one single text message
from an unknown number that said question mark. So she asked about him.
She was like, what is this Chance? Why would somebody send you a
question mark? And he started to get angry and defensive. Of course he
did, and he started gaslighting her and blaming her. It was, oh,
you always pick a fight. Oh my god, why are you acting
so shady? Like, why are you doing that? You always want to
start something with me? Well, remember, I said, Taylor isn't as
dumb as she looks. Well, she's really not, because she took that
und number and looked it up in the call log and saw that there were
one hundred and seventy one text messages between the two of them just that day.
That Chance deleted. Now another production team is with Chance while he's building
his empire, and they asked him some questions, and do you want to
know what this crazy mother trucker said happened? He said, Taylor constantly tries
to entrap him and catch him in something. So he was convinced that the
unknown number was Taylor using a fake number to text him. As some random
girl to try to see if he would cheat. I knew that was Taylor
using an unknown number, trying to catfish me, trying to get me to
cheat on her. So yeah, I entertained it. I started getting these
messages and I'm like, man, this is Taylor trying to see if I'm
doing what she's doing being scandalous. So I fed into it. She wants
some reason, I'll give reason. First of all, why would you entertain
it if you really thought it was Taylor trying to catch you in a lie?
Are you dumb? So the producers tell Taylor Chances side of the story,
and she's like, oh my god, I didn't do that. Uh
if you couldn't tell I'm taking care of four children by myself. Okay,
when the hell would she have the time to do all this? Oh?
And you know what else he did? He threw his phone in the toilet
whatever he had in there. He really didn't want her to go through.
I tried to call that number, and what I found I never expected that
ever, But remember, she still has that unknown phone number. So she
called it, and guess what, you guys, it was a man who
answered a man. A man answered the phone and then hung up, and
then he texted her, who's this Why are you calling me? And Taylor
says, she answered, my baby, daddy, I see that you two
have been texting, and you know, I just wanted to know what's up,
and he goes, well, did you ask him about it? Eventually,
Taylor finds out who this guy is and apparently he's the town ho and
she tells him, Wow, your conversation must have been real bad if he
threw it in the toilet for me not to see it, so you can
have him. And this guy says to her, baby, you know you're
not gonna leave him, laughing, crying emoji A. I was not expecting
that roast. Oh my god, I'm not gonna lie. I laughed,
I screamed. I was like, oh my god, haven't we said that
about Taylor this whole entire time? Like why are you not leaving his ass?
Like why how many chances are you gonna give a chance? How many
chances? And also chance cheating on Taylor with a man was not on my
Bengo card, No, siree. Wow, that was not at all what
any of us were expecting. Were we? Well, actually, after that
last episode with his ex dealer. You know they got a little close.
Mm hmmm, yeah, that was a little sus Anyway, Taylor never ever
ever expected for a chance to be into men. She never got the hint.
He never told her, and so she was completely thrown off. She
was just like gobsmacked, like what The last time she saw him, they
got into a huge fight. He grabbed all his stuff plus her laptop by
accident, and he ran off. So then he calls her when production is
there and he says, I downloaded everything off of your laptop and you are
dirty, dealer. You are not who I thought you were. First of
all, disgusting. Why is he downloading everything on her laptop? Like that's
so disgusting in such an invasion of privacy, Like okay, why you shout
it out? Irritating? What's happening? John? Not downloaded all the informations
your laptop? And when you are, you're dirty? Finally realized you're not
who you said you were. And I'm really upset about it because I put
in a lot of her work and sweat into your here and I had nothing
to show for it. Doing what manipulative, gaslighting narcissistic assholes do and Taylor
kept her cool. I don't know how she did, oh my god,
but I will say she did make me laugh a couple of times because she
was so calmly savage. Oh god, I know we're not supposed to say
that word anymore either. God, I just need to like clean up my
vocabulary. She was so effortlessly uh rude, see that that word doesn't hit
as hard. But okay. So when he was like, you're definitely not
who I thought you were, she calmly says, well, you're definitely not.
Yeah, well you're definitely not so. And then he was talking about,
well, I don't even have a bunch of friends who will let me
crash, but I found a place, okay, and she goes, yeah,
your boyfriends, your boyfriends, okay, I can't. Oh my god,
I died. And then this loser says, you know what, I
hope you catch something. Okay, bro, I'm pretty sure you're the one
who's caught a thing or two. Okay. What a freaking loser. He's
such a good for nothing loser. He's a useless good And that's it for
the episode recap. This This episode was so good it almost felt like a
finale to me, but I think there's a few episodes left of this season.
And Taylor, I know it took you a while to come around and
finally dump his ass. Do not ever take him back. Raise your standards
a little bit. I mean, chance is like the bottom, the bottom
of the barrel. You can only go up from there. And that's it
for the episode recap. Let me know all your thoughts in the comments.
If you guys ever want to listen to this on podcast form, I do
post my recaps on my podcast called ninety dight Thoughts, so you can head
over there. The link will be in the description and I will talk to
you guys in my next video. Bye n B. What's he going to
be at home? And their chief would show chi that will work with the
