00:00So you guys are saving your first kiss for your wedding?
00:03Yeah.
00:04How do you do that?
00:06I've never met a straight man who voluntarily gives up
00:09the opportunity to be intimate with a woman,
00:11especially as a young man.
00:12I mean, I've got to ask you.
00:15Yeah.
00:16Are you gay?
00:19No.
00:21How did my family become your enemy so fast?
00:24Come on.
00:25You guys all call me a liar, and I'm making up .
00:28I want things to work out between Veronica and I really bad.
00:32It's insanely good when it's good, and then it flips the other way.
00:37I shouldn't have to tell you how to treat me.
00:39I shouldn't have to tell you how to love me.
00:42I think Ethan's here.
00:43That's lovely.
00:44I need a minute.
00:45I haven't met Ethan's girlfriend yet.
00:48We're both tall blondes who played volleyball.
00:50So we're either going to get along really well.
00:52Hi.
00:55Or a wormhole is going to develop,
00:57and we're going to consume each other.
01:10We made it.
01:11We made it.
01:12Nowhere long distance.
01:15Zach and I just made a long road trip from Colorado to Georgia.
01:19I went to help pack up everything, but also just to be there to support him,
01:22because I know he's leaving so much behind to come here.
01:26This will be your new home for a few days.
01:28Okay.
01:29Nice.
01:30This will be good.
01:31Yeah.
01:32This will be nice.
01:33I don't know why I'm holding my coffee cup.
01:38So, yeah, there's not, like, many places for you to hang anything.
01:42Yeah.
01:43We'll figure it out.
01:44Yeah.
01:45I've dealt with that problem for five years.
01:48With Mariah being gone, I took over her old room, and Zach took my old room, so I cleaned
01:55it up a little bit.
01:56I think it is important to just have a clean space.
01:59I mean, if you can't keep that clean, what else in your life are you going to just ignore?
02:02Thanks for everything.
02:03Yeah.
02:04We know it's a huge sacrifice for you to have to give up this room.
02:06No.
02:07It's all good.
02:08Zach is going to be staying here at my dad's house pretty much up until the wedding.
02:12I'm going to be staying at the house I'm renting down in Tallahassee with Mariah, probably
02:17until about a week before the wedding.
02:18Yeah.
02:19That's coming up really quick, though.
02:20All right.
02:21So, make yourself at home.
02:22I'm going to excuse myself and get back to work.
02:25I'm going to let you guys just get settled in.
02:27I hope Zach won't be too loud.
02:30I won't be having any parties jumping around, you know?
02:33Gotcha.
02:34So...
02:35It's great to have time just being in the same house as Isaac.
02:40I've never had a brother, and so to gain three and gain the trust of three in a short
02:47period can be exhausting, but it is also their problem as much as it is mine.
02:51And so, they've got to show up just as much as I am.
02:53I'll catch up with you in a little while.
02:55All right.
02:56Sounds good.
02:57I feel like Zach has kind of pushed his way in.
02:59Cool.
03:00If y'all need this, let me know.
03:01All right.
03:03Good to see you, man.
03:04Like, with the engagement, I don't think he's putting Lydia first.
03:06He's just bossy.
03:08Like, everything has to be his way or he's going to have a fit.
03:11It would be nice to get everything moved in and settled and then, uh, yeah.
03:16Move it all out in a few weeks.
03:17Move it all out in a few weeks, yes.
03:20So, yeah.
03:21Isaac and Bear are here and it's going to be good to just have random time around them.
03:27I think it'll be good to just...
03:28And the girls at times.
03:33Thank you, Lydia.
03:35What was that look for?
03:37I just, yeah.
03:40Wait, what was that look for?
03:42Were you...
03:43I think it was his way of saying you're finishing all my sentences.
03:45You are finishing all my sentences.
03:47I have not finished a phrase in this whole time.
03:50I'm just excited.
03:51I'm excited too.
03:52But it is also like, I do like to talk.
03:58Um, anyway, we definitely, um, have had a lot of time together, um, in the last three days.
04:04It was really fun.
04:05But, yes, we need some breathing to just settle and, like, get where we need to be.
04:14It feels like since I've met her, we haven't really had time to just breathe.
04:19But our schedules are pretty packed, um, from now until the wedding.
04:23And we're heading to, um, Boca to see Micah and Veronica tomorrow.
04:27And travel more.
04:29All right, let's go.
04:30I'm back.
04:32Veronica and Micah, just like a lot of others, have voiced their own concerns about our relationship.
04:37So, we just want to spend more time with them.
04:40And...
04:41If not now, when?
04:43Think you have enough tea?
04:45Dr.
05:01Hello.
05:02Dr. Good morning, good morning.
05:03How are you today?
05:04Dr. Doing well? How are you guys doing today?
05:06Dr. Good. Good to see you again.
05:07Dr. You as well. You as well.
05:08as well. Veronica and I kind of just started therapy recently to work towards a healthier
05:13relationship because the way we've been going at it is not going well. Let's jump into it. First
05:18of all, do you guys have any questions, any comments, any concerns that have come up since
05:23we last spoke? Um, I kind of feel like I'm going to therapy to be basically a better version of
05:33Aika and I feel like Veronica wants me to understand and be more like her instead of trying to
05:38change herself. On the walk up here, he's like accusing me of lying about something.
05:47Hmm. Okay. So is that an atmosphere that we're dealing with right now? It is. Yeah. I don't
05:55think it's normal to look up your brother's girlfriend's naked photos. I didn't find any.
06:01So, Veronica, tell me what happened on the walk up here. He's in his phone. And I look
06:10over his shoulder and he's looking up his brother's girlfriend's naked photos on the internet.
06:14Hmm. Are you going to start at the beginning? Yeah. She's like a naked model on the internet.
06:20No, basically. That's weird. Why are you?
06:23Michael, what's your perspective? Well, we're on our drive over here and Veronica sees a headline.
06:31And she says, your brother's girlfriend has an OnlyFans. Oh my gosh. She's like,
06:35this is the tea of the day. Don't really say much at first. I'm like, really? Really? And I'm trying
06:40to get the facts. He wants to see it. Hold on. No, I don't really want to see it at all. Um,
06:46my brother called me and I wanted to talk to him about it. He's like, if you find anything,
06:51let, send it to me. Cause, but I don't think she does. Then I asked Veronica, I was like,
06:54can you show me what makes you think that? I think it was a headline that just for grabs and
07:01she's going around spreading rumors. And I wanted to see if it's actually true.
07:05He wants to see naked, naked family members. Why, why would you say that? Why would, if he's saying
07:12that? Cause he looks up naked people on the regular. Now he's going to look up a naked woman that like
07:15somehow happens to be in the same cest pool we're in. Like the, you're not seeing her ever again.
07:23Ever. However. Yes. Never. Veronica. I was not doing it for that. I don't trust you. You're not
07:32allowed around her now. Veronica. We've talked about trust. You have to believe him when he says
07:42that he was looking for the headline. No, he wanted to see it. And I said, go figure it out.
07:48It's on the internet. He wanted to find the proof of what you said. He's not the PI here.
07:53Neither one of you are. No, I brought it up, but he doesn't need to go digging into other people's
07:56he'll end up in bed with her. I'm, you're not seeing her anymore. That is so not true. So true.
08:03You don't think my brother's girlfriend is someone I know that is a hundred percent off limits and I'm
08:10defending my brother in this scenario and looking with his best interest.
08:14Nobody's off limits. Remember, I should be off limits to getting hurt.
08:19Yet you would sleep with anyone. Why are you going that far? Because he's not. Because he goes that
08:24far very quickly. But it's just like, it's, it's not just this. It's so many things. When she finds
08:30out something that makes, paints certain family members of mine in a bad light, she is so quick
08:36to not, not fact check them, but just spread them. Did the same thing not happen to me?
08:42I don't think so.
08:45Okay. So Micah said that it seems like anytime there's an opportunity to kind of dig into the
08:53family and point out something maybe not so positive, right? You take that opportunity.
08:58You say, yes, I do that because it was done to me. Yes. Right. How can you imagine that makes Micah
09:06feel for you to dig into his family, the people that he loves? Well, hopefully sort of how I feel
09:13when they dig into me. And what is that? Frustration, disappointment. I'm very much eye for an eye.
09:22They treat me like that. I'll match energy. When it comes to Veronica and how she feels about the way
09:30Micah's family perceives her, Veronica has the dynamic of approval addiction. She wants to be
09:36accepted. And so when the family is saying things or doing things that does not feel like acceptance,
09:42that may feel like rejection, it goes to heart. It's her fear. Fear of losing, fear of not being loved,
09:50fear of being by herself. Micah, tell Veronica how that feels for you when she takes those jabs and digs at
10:00your family. Well, it puts me on a little the defensive side over the people I grew up, my only friends
10:07growing up. So it's very hurtful. And I'm torn between the girl I love and the family I love. And I want
10:16nothing but unity and everyone to be able to get along. I follow the golden rule, treat others the
10:22way you want to be treated. They're treating me this way. I'll do that. And then some. I love a
10:28competition. So I'm just in the mud slinging it with them. In pure Veronica fashion, I go put on
10:35the mud on my face and go to war. That's not the golden rule, though. You weren't raised with golden
10:44rule. That's it was the one of the Ten Commandments. Obviously, it was love thy neighbor as thyself,
10:49which is basically the golden rule. Treat others how you want to be treated. The golden rule is the
10:52Ten Commandments. It's basically the same thing. So the thing is, if that behavior continues, it is
10:59detrimental to the relationship because going in the mud is doing nothing for you. It feels
11:05good. Veronica. Micah called me and said that Veronica was accusing Tegan of having an OnlyFans
11:16account. And when I got off the phone with Micah, I called Tegan right away and told her. It's really
11:22fan-like behavior, in my opinion, to be so obsessed with someone that you've met one single time.
11:29When I do try to talk, she shuts me down. I know I need to get better at talking over him.
11:35Going like the tortoise and the hare. He's the tortoise and I'm the hare running. I'm like doing laps.
11:41You know how that ended, right? Yeah. The tortoise one. I know.
11:52I don't know. I've never really cooked with charcoals. I don't know much to do. I just do the whole bag.
11:57Ooh. Bite-sized potatoes. Earlier today, me and Tegan and Isaac Kalen came out to get some work done on the farm and help clean up and get it ready for Lydia's wedding.
12:08Hey, Isaac. Pull the boom all the way up. It's always fun, hanging out with Isaac.
12:14Oh, my God. Look at them.
12:20Me and Ethan at heart are country boys. You'd never find us living in the city. We're like at home here. Just, there's no place I'd rather be.
12:28It's a big chunk of dirt.
12:30My pants were like my dad's heart.
12:32Yeah, no. Ethan does the dad kind of look.
12:39I flew in a few weeks early before the wedding to come visit everyone before it gets chaotic.
12:45We have a fun dinner set up and then I have a fun activity for after.
12:50I got some matches.
12:53Well, I guess this stuff's not super flammable, I don't think. I don't think so.
12:56Yeah, me and Isaac are going to grill some steaks tonight. I do not know how they're going to turn out because I've never grilled on a charcoal grill before. Never in my life.
13:07Well, I'm going to step back when you let us know.
13:12It's not flammable like you think. It's just like...
13:15My dad did have a propane grill, but pretty much everything we cooked was on the stove.
13:29Look at there.
13:31I think we're going to have some hot steaks.
13:34How does it feel being with the plath?
13:37Um, I really like it. I think they sort of get a bad rap sometimes.
13:41And I feel like every other family is dysfunctional. No one's perfect.
13:46I mean, I can attest to my own family. None of us are perfect. So...
13:49Yeah. Every family's got their ups and downs and their crazies.
13:53Yeah.
13:54How far back do you think you squirted in from?
13:56I don't know.
13:59Have you spent a lot of time with Micah and them?
14:03No. So the only time I've ever met Micah was on the proposal day.
14:08And I really didn't get to spend any time with them.
14:11I mostly spent time with Veronica.
14:19Do you wish Micah and Veronica were here to have a triple date with you guys?
14:23I mean, yeah. I would like it if Micah was along.
14:25He'd be fifth wheeling, though.
14:26But I think we can leave Veronica out of this one.
14:29And just so we can have a good time, you know?
14:30The first time I met Veronica was at the proposal, and she tried to get me to talk crap about the family.
14:40Because she would sit there and say something about Amber and Miss Kim and everybody.
14:44And then she was like, well, how are they to you?
14:45And I said, everybody's been so welcoming and so nice.
14:48I said, I get along with everybody.
14:49I said, I don't have a problem with anybody.
14:51And that kind of shut her up real quick.
14:58Micah called me and said that Veronica was accusing Tegan of having an OnlyFans account.
15:03And when I got off the phone with Micah, I called Tegan right away and told her.
15:08Yeah.
15:08Ether was really upset.
15:10I thought it was really funny.
15:11I couldn't stop laughing.
15:12And obviously, it's not true.
15:15And I just felt really flattered that she felt like she could say that about me.
15:18Because not everyone, I guess, could have an OnlyFans.
15:21I don't know.
15:23It's really fan-like behavior, in my opinion, to be so obsessed with someone that you've met one single time.
15:30So.
15:31This one is most well done, I believe.
15:34Okay.
15:34Veronica has done so much crap in the last few months that's completely unnecessary, including reaching out to Olivia.
15:43She enjoys the fighting.
15:44She enjoys the drama.
15:46She's more interested in digging up dirt on other people.
15:48I guess maybe she just wanted it to be true.
15:53Veronica must be very insecure about something at the end of the day.
15:57I don't know if it's her relationship with Micah, her relationship with the family, in relation to just herself, even.
16:03And it's just sad.
16:04That's all.
16:06I actually think the steak is very flavorful.
16:08It tastes like charcoal and lighter fluid.
16:11Does it really?
16:14Yeah.
16:14It does.
16:26Going in the mud is doing nothing for you.
16:30It feels good.
16:33You get it off your chest.
16:34But then you bring it into your relationship.
16:38And that's not healthy.
16:39You've got to decide what really feels good.
16:43To slowly destroy him.
16:46He's already destroyed me.
16:48Why are you here?
16:50Because I love him.
16:52But if you love him, you have to decide also to forgive.
16:55And communication is going to be how you get there.
17:00Yeah, it is very, very discouraging because when I do try to talk, she shuts me down really quick and talks over me.
17:10I find it hard and I know I need to get better at talking over him.
17:15There's a lot of awkward silence and I'm like going like the tortoise and the hare.
17:21He's the tortoise and I'm the hare running and like doing laps.
17:25You know how that ended, right?
17:27Yeah.
17:27Uh-huh, the tortoise one.
17:29I know.
17:31So just because you run the laps don't mean it's okay.
17:34But I'm not going to hide how I feel.
17:37I'm just very direct and straightforward.
17:40I grew up bullied.
17:44I wasn't skinny enough.
17:45I wasn't bright enough.
17:46I wasn't beautiful enough.
17:48There's trauma from that.
17:50But some of it re-triggers when I feel not enough in my relationship.
17:55I always want to go above and beyond for my people.
17:58And I worry about others more than myself.
18:01It's okay to be frustrated, irritated.
18:03It's okay to have all the feelings.
18:04But knowing that you've said some things that in the moment you meant them.
18:11But then later you didn't mean it like that, right?
18:15So is it possible for you to say, hey, you know what?
18:18I want to do something different.
18:20I need to work on that.
18:21She's attracted to it though.
18:23She likes...
18:24Chaos.
18:25Yeah, she likes chaos.
18:30Maybe that's why I like you.
18:32Veronica.
18:33So are you saying that Micah is chaos?
18:36Yeah, sometimes.
18:38Is he really?
18:39Or is it the things that are associated with him that are connected to him?
18:43It's the outside influences with him.
18:46Micah's a great person.
18:47I know that.
18:47He's got a good heart.
18:49He's got a good soul.
18:51He's a good guy.
18:52But the outside forces greatly inhibit everything.
18:58Yeah.
18:58He's one for peer pressure and I'm wanting to listen to nobody.
19:01Mm-hmm.
19:02Mm-hmm.
19:03And so, what do you need from him?
19:08I need him to be a good, loyal, honest man, not looking for naked pictures of a woman we know.
19:12Okay.
19:14Let's just say dogs will be dogs.
19:18Veronica, you can't keep going in the mud.
19:20I see you at the pit right now.
19:22Can you hear me?
19:22I'm going to cut my losses, to be honest with you.
19:24Hey, hey, hey.
19:24Can you hear me?
19:26Yeah.
19:26You're talking out of hurt and pain right now and fear.
19:29When it comes to healing in a relationship, there is a great need for individual accountability.
19:35However, when it comes to the session today, I don't really see any accountability.
19:41It's going to take some work to get through this.
19:51Yeah, but I'm tired of being hurt.
19:55I get it.
19:56And I'm tired of you being hurt, too.
19:59But I'm also tired of you hurting others.
20:02Micah.
20:03I'm tired of you hurting yourself.
20:05He's made some choices that were not wise choices, but he is someone that you love.
20:10And you don't want another person that you love to hurt you.
20:13You don't want another person that you love to let you down.
20:18But you guys need to give each other grace to grow.
20:25All right?
20:35Okay.
20:36I appreciate you guys for your time today.
20:42You're welcome.
20:43Thank you, Micah.
20:46It's so insane.
20:48But it goes to show the dynamic of Veronica and I when we're struggling.
20:52I know it's going to be insanely hard, but I feel like I'm ready to do absolutely anything
20:57to work on our relationship.
21:01But when new things continually blow up out of nowhere, it's becoming more and more difficult
21:08to, like, be able to reconcile and work through all of this.
21:14How do you...
21:15If Tegan goes to the wedding, I'm not going.
21:20That's it.
21:21I'm not scot-free and clean from the situation.
21:24I have jumped to conclusions.
21:26I've called Micah names.
21:28But come on.
21:29I can't forget about the track record of the past.
21:32It's shaped where we are today.
21:34I just can't trust them with women, though.
21:36It's hard.
21:37Are y'all ready to start painting?
21:47Let's give it a shot.
21:49I thought it'd be fun tonight on our double date to do a trend I saw on social media where
21:53you paint your significant other in a timed setting.
21:56I think it's a good opportunity for all of us to have some fun and be goofy together, because
22:01I feel like that's when everyone's at their best.
22:03So do we all paint at the same time?
22:05Yeah.
22:06I wish I had, like, a pencil to, like, draw it out first.
22:11How are you feeling about your creative skills, Jalen?
22:16I have OCD about some stuff.
22:19I will say that.
22:21I feel like I need my colors picked up.
22:24Are you perfectionist?
22:26No.
22:27I just try to make myself look a little bit nice.
22:30I don't know why you want a picture when I'm literally right here.
22:33Because it's easier to just, like, like this.
22:36Okay, ready, everyone?
22:37I'll just start the 10-minute timer.
22:38Okay.
22:39Okay.
22:40Oh, gosh.
22:41This is stressing me out.
22:44And Isaac's just, like, in his little own world.
22:46I definitely did the wrong shape of the head, which is going to just screw me up, because
22:51that's the beginning.
22:52Yeah, we never did any art classes.
22:54That wasn't one of the things your mom taught you?
22:57No.
22:58I've never done any painting in my life.
23:00I'm just worried I'm going to, like, damage her confidence and, like, you know, is that
23:06what I look like?
23:08Have you done taking art classes, Jalen?
23:11Yeah, in school.
23:12You have to.
23:13Really?
23:14Yeah.
23:14You weren't forced to make clay things or paper mache or paint or color and shade.
23:21Oh, I made stuff out of clay.
23:23Yeah?
23:23All the time.
23:24Yeah.
23:24I would go dig a hole and get down to where the clay is.
23:26Yeah.
23:27And I'd mix it with water and I'd make, like, rocks.
23:32And I'd make them to, they were, like, cannonballs in my mind.
23:35Oh.
23:36Would you throw them?
23:37Uh-huh.
23:38Naturally.
23:38Okay.
23:42I haven't even started painting yet.
23:43Okay, well, you've got seven minutes.
23:46Seven?
23:47Yeah.
23:47I'm so scared.
23:50The skin color looks really good, though.
23:55Okay, we're down to three minutes.
23:57I'm so scared to see what he's got.
24:03Okay, we have less than a minute.
24:05Okay.
24:06You know what?
24:06We're just gonna.
24:07It's fine.
24:08It'll be fine.
24:09Okay, everyone, put your pencils down.
24:11Oh, not pencils.
24:13Okay.
24:13I'm scared.
24:15I can go first, I guess.
24:16Okay, ready for...
24:17I'm so scared.
24:21Tegan is a wonderful painter, but she did the beard, and then she tried to do the blonde hair,
24:26and it just looks like a turban.
24:29All right, you guys want to see Tegan?
24:31Yeah.
24:34What?
24:35Okay.
24:38Ethan, we were drawing, like, just a face.
24:40Why am I naked?
24:44Because I like it that way.
24:46Okay.
24:48Okay, well.
24:49Since Veronica's saying that Tegan has an OnlyFans account, I decided to paint Tegan just,
24:56like, a full-body figure nude, you know?
25:00My humor definitely is rated R.
25:04All right, do you guys want to see Kaelin?
25:08I'm so scared.
25:11Well, this is you.
25:14That is bad.
25:16It kind of looks like a cross between Kaelin and a pig.
25:18I mean, it kind of does.
25:22Like, it kind of, the hair resembles you, but the face resembles a pig, so it's like a
25:26pig if it had your hair.
25:28You just keep digging the whole team.
25:29I'm not saying you look like a pig.
25:31I'm saying the painting looks like a pig, which is shaming me, not you, right?
25:37It's better than being naked.
25:38That's all I know.
25:40Okay, Kaelin.
25:40All right, do you want to see?
25:41I was like...
25:42Yeah.
25:44Look at his shoulders.
25:45Wait, let me see.
25:50Yo, okay.
25:52Today was a good day.
25:54It's a blessing Tegan and Kaelin get along.
25:57I always get homesick when I get back to Minnesota.
26:00I miss my siblings.
26:01I think about moving down.
26:02I really would love to, but we'll see.
26:06If I had a hat on it, it would look better.
26:09Like, the skin tone...
26:09That was like a 50-year-old woman.
26:11It's where I draw the line.
26:13Oh, man.
26:15Shortly after our therapy, when I came home and sort of put my guard down, I realized a lot of times I say things I don't mean in anger.
26:38So I'm trying to leave heated topics, arguments behind and just move forward.
26:46It's a calming mist.
26:48Another one that says, mood happy.
26:50I've not been using it, obviously.
26:53Um, but I think it'll be better.
26:57Lydia and Zach are coming here today.
26:58And Micah and I know we have to put aside any struggles we have right now and just get to know them better.
27:04But we're good at faking it.
27:07Micah and I have fully moved into the house at this point.
27:10I mean, sort of.
27:12Our pipes are really broken, like, really bad.
27:15So, it's a show, literally, over here.
27:20I'm literally trenching under the house to fix a problem.
27:24I've got to go deep.
27:26I feel like that's kind of what we're doing with our relationship, too.
27:30I just understand plumbing a lot better than girls.
27:36Hey, Micah.
27:37We made it.
27:39Hello, guys.
27:39I see someone's working hard.
27:41And Barefoot, too.
27:43Love it.
27:45How's it going?
27:46Good.
27:46How are you?
27:47So, Lydia and Zach came down to South Florida to visit us.
27:50You know, I just want to make sure he's cool with the way things were handled and the questions that were asked up in Georgia after the proposal.
27:58How's it going, Zach?
27:59Good.
27:59Good to see you, bro.
28:01Part of me is a little concerned that Veronica is going to blow up with Lydia and Zach.
28:05I guess she's done that to other family members before.
28:07But I really hope that we can have a decent time with Lydia and Zach while they're here.
28:13Looks like you're digging up the dirt.
28:16It's good.
28:17It's become our disaster area.
28:20Last time I saw Micah and Ethan was with him, right after I proposed.
28:25You know, them asking me if I was gay, I feel it's a bit disrespectful just because I just proposed to Lydia.
28:32I'm not a person of grudges.
28:34And if people are eager to know us, then it won't take long for them to see the man that Zach is.
28:40But if they don't give him that opportunity, they're missing out.
28:45See all this dirt right here?
28:46Mm-hmm.
28:47Guess where that came from?
28:49Underneath the house.
28:50Underneath?
28:51Underneath the house?
28:52Underneath.
28:52Oh, no.
28:53It's a cave.
28:54Last time I saw Lydia and Zach was at the proposal, and I was very stressed out, feeling unwelcome, unwanted, and just out of place and sort of angry.
29:03I don't think Lydia noticed, but the boys and I were very defensive.
29:08Zach came in and was very strong at first with us and were like, who are you?
29:12Oh, very mean girls.
29:14You can't sit with us.
29:16When I came home, I realized Zach might put up walls just the same way I do when we're with that family because it's stressful.
29:23There's a lot of them.
29:24I think it was his first time at a massive gathering, so I want to give him some grace there.
29:30Hey, Lydia, I'll help you out.
29:33All right, don't grab the shovel.
29:35What do you think?
29:35I see the drip, yeah.
29:38Oh, my gosh.
29:39Oh, gosh.
29:40I'm not too worried about Micah trying to give Zach a hard time, but even if he does, I know it'll be nothing Zach can't handle.
29:48You're going to ask me if I'm game-game?
29:50Are you?
29:57Hey, Lydia, I'll help you out.
30:00All right, don't grab the shovel.
30:01What do you think?
30:02I see the drip, yeah.
30:05Oh, my gosh.
30:06Oh, gosh.
30:06My God.
30:07My God.
30:10Okay, okay.
30:12Lydia stopped me.
30:13Yeah, in the last few months, Mike and Veronica have moved to a new house, and there's a lot of work to do here, so Zach and I hope to help out with as much of that.
30:23Hey, Veronica.
30:23Hello.
30:24Oh, my gosh.
30:24Watch your step.
30:25How are you?
30:26Good to see you.
30:27Good to see you.
30:28Do you like that?
30:29Zach's already in the house.
30:30He's under the house.
30:32You've been under it before you've gotten in it.
30:35The dogs are welcoming you as well.
30:38Do you want to go see the inside of the house?
30:39Yeah.
30:40You know, the wedding's coming up in just a few weeks, and not to mention Zach and I have a lot to do ourselves right now, but also there's no better time for Micah to get to know Zach than before he's my husband.
30:51Well, welcome to our house.
30:52Little house tour.
30:53This is the living room.
30:54This used to be three or four different rooms.
30:56Yeah.
30:57We put the tile in.
30:58People love and hate the tile.
30:59We've been working on the kitchen.
31:01We opened it up, and we're basically, the kitchen's going from there all the way to that wall.
31:05I've got to go outside.
31:06You finish the house tour.
31:07I'll be back in a bit.
31:08If you need help, just let us know.
31:09I would love to help anyway.
31:14This is nice back here.
31:16Yeah, watch your step.
31:17That should be the name of the house.
31:20Watch your step.
31:22Lydia's the sweetest person ever.
31:24She's just a breath of fresh air.
31:26I wouldn't count her in the group of plots.
31:28I think she's very different than the rest.
31:30She's nonjudgmental.
31:32Unless I'm a Satanist, I don't think there's another way that she won't accept me.
31:36Compared to everybody else, they don't accept me because of Mariah's word.
31:40Thankfully, Zach's here to help Micah, because normally it's me helping Micah and running around panicking.
31:45I'm sorry for you.
31:47You got to laugh at it.
31:49Yeah.
31:50I guess, like, the house is a fresh slate for both of us.
31:54We're doing therapy.
31:55Nice.
31:56We're communicating with each other.
31:57It's just showing up for your partner.
31:59And, like, I could tell Zach does that, which is nice.
32:02Yeah.
32:04Micah and I are learning that.
32:06Yeah.
32:07You would think that seeing Micah and Veronica having their first house together and all that would, like, make me excited for Zach and I's first house together.
32:17But I guess our relationships are so different.
32:19Like, Zach and I are waiting to live together until after we're married.
32:23And I've never really heard Micah talk about marriage in general much.
32:29Maybe that's just because I'm his little sister.
32:32How are you and Veronica doing?
32:33Oh, we're doing pretty good.
32:38Yeah.
32:38Have our ups and downs, of course.
32:41I mean, commitment of you're not married but you bought a house together is always something.
32:48I mean, it's been great but I would just hate for some little thing to blow up, you know?
32:55Yeah.
32:56It's a good challenge to go through, I'm sure, if you guys get through this.
32:59And it's, like, you guys can do anything, kind of pushing each other forward.
33:04That's good.
33:05So.
33:07The last time I saw you was the proposal.
33:10Yeah, which I barely saw you then.
33:11I know.
33:11I liked you, but that's about all.
33:13We were both in, like, our own chaotic worlds.
33:16And, like, I definitely didn't want to be by everybody at that time.
33:19It was stressful.
33:21Yeah.
33:21I think anybody else's engagement, I don't know if I would have showed up.
33:26I would have been like, have fun, Micah.
33:30It's really sweet for Veronica to say, but it's also, like, when you have a grudge with pretty much the rest of the family,
33:38then I don't know if it's necessarily that I'm the special one or because there's a grudge with everyone else.
33:43I love and appreciate you as a person.
33:46As a pseudo-sister, we're going to call it.
33:49So.
33:50I was like, I have to show up for that even when I was, like, fighting my biggest battles being there.
33:56Yeah.
33:56I'm hoping for the wedding.
33:57Alive.
33:58Yeah.
33:59For the wedding, there's going to be different things going on in everyone's lives, but just for the day.
34:04Enjoy the wedding.
34:05Yeah.
34:06I don't know if I can go to the wedding.
34:07Like, all those people, all those unresolved feelings in one room slash grass field.
34:15I can remain silent, but my face is going to speak for itself.
34:20I've got Botox, but not that much.
34:23I think it'll be good.
34:24Yeah.
34:24I'm excited, and it's amazing how everything's coming together.
34:30I guess I kind of just trust that even when there's drama between other family members,
34:36that people just have enough respect for a wedding to not bring it to that.
34:39But, yeah, we'll see.
34:43No lighting things on fire for the boys.
34:47I heard about that.
34:49They were being so disrespectful.
34:50I was like, boys, no.
34:52It was sort of funny, though.
34:53I hope so.
34:54I know Zach handled that well, but, yeah.
34:58I'm not too worried about Micah trying to give Zach a hard time, but even if he does,
35:01I know it'll be nothing Zach can't handle.
35:03At least Micah invited us and opened up his house to us and is making an effort to
35:09get to know Zach.
35:11You don't have any hard feelings against the way Ethan and I ask you questions, do you?
35:15No.
35:16I know you guys have your ways.
35:17I'm a brother of two sisters, and I totally would do the same thing.
35:20I would want to know a guy who's trying to marry my sister.
35:24Yeah.
35:25I understand that there were some very interesting questions Ethan and I asked Zach,
35:30like if he was straight or gay.
35:32There's a lot of guys who would, you know, be super, super upset.
35:37But Zach says he's not hurt over that, so I guess that's good.
35:41If he is going to be Lydia's significant other, I want to see what Lydia sees in him.
35:49You're asking me if I'm gay again?
35:54Are you?
35:54No, God, no.
35:55Why are you gay?
35:57You are gay.
35:58No, bro.
35:59Shall we make a drink?
36:10You guys want to try Veronica's famous espresso martinis?
36:13I would love that.
36:14Since you like coffee and you're turning 21.
36:18So it was just Lydia's 21st birthday.
36:21It's nice to be able to share that with her, have her our first drink together.
36:25When she needs her coffee, she needs her coffee.
36:27I don't drink coffee every day, but the days I do drink coffee, I drink it.
36:30And then why?
36:32Yeah.
36:33Do you want to help me, Micah?
36:35The days Veronica tells me what to do, and then why.
36:39That's true.
36:40Fair enough.
36:41As it should.
36:43I'm aware that there is some, I don't know, tension.
36:46I don't know what, something going on between Mike and Veronica.
36:48I want Mike to be able to share what we share in the sense of mutual respect and seeking
36:57to serve the other.
36:58And I just, I haven't seen that.
37:01Cheers.
37:02Okay, well, I'm just going to watch Lydia.
37:04There we go.
37:07That's good.
37:09Yeah?
37:10Yeah.
37:11All right, so are we playing games?
37:12I am down.
37:14Lydia and Zach seem to have a good dynamic together.
37:16And I wish Veronica and I could pick up a little on that.
37:19But Lydia and Zach are also in their honeymoon phase, so Veronica and I were like that one
37:23time, too.
37:25Okay, let's do one round of truth or dare.
37:28Lydia goes first.
37:30Zach, truth or dare.
37:32I feel like I have to do dare.
37:33I feel like I've shared every truth with me.
37:36Yeah, that is true.
37:38You guys have talked about everything.
37:40Most everything.
37:40I can't think of anything that I don't know about.
37:43Then do something that would be uncomfortable for us to hear.
37:46Okay.
37:47That's the point of this game.
37:48Sure.
37:49To see if he would tell the truth in front of you guys.
37:51I'll do it.
37:52Open book.
37:53So you said truth.
37:54Mm-hmm.
37:54Have you ever gotten drunk?
37:59Nope.
38:01See, I knew that answer.
38:03Lame.
38:05Well, there we are.
38:06Happy and lame.
38:06How about that?
38:07Oh, and dirty hands.
38:10Okay, Veronica, it's your turn.
38:11Truth or dare, Lydia.
38:18So Zach and Lydia are saving their first kiss for marriage.
38:21So Micah and I are, like, whispering to each other, like,
38:23ooh, let's get them to kiss.
38:25Maybe they'll do it.
38:26Just shoot.
38:27So I'll give you two alternate dares.
38:30Kiss or take a shot.
38:35That's a loophole.
38:36You didn't specify enough, so I guess...
38:40You didn't specify.
38:42They played us.
38:43They found a loophole.
38:45She, like, kissed them on the cheek, and I was like,
38:46I kissed strangers on the cheek.
38:49I thought you were going to tell them.
38:51Tell them what?
38:52How to actually kiss.
38:55Okay, you go like this.
38:56That was awkward.
38:59And then...
39:00Yes!
39:01We were waiting for this.
39:02Better.
39:04They knew that we wouldn't kiss on the lips,
39:06so they thought a shot would be the other option.
39:09Alternative.
39:10Alternative.
39:10And I was like, oh, but you didn't specify,
39:12and I'm quicker than you.
39:14I'm like, bet.
39:16I'm going to do it again.
39:19I have a dare.
39:20Do the worm.
39:22Oh, my God.
39:22So last time I did that, I think I...
39:23Micah, do the worm.
39:24Last time I did that, I think I broke my chin.
39:26Do the worm.
39:26That's why it's split like that.
39:30No.
39:31That was a vent hole.
39:32Oh, what is...
39:33I can't...
39:35I don't want to do it on these floors.
39:38Good work.
39:39Good work.
39:40Honestly, compressing.
39:42You know, having this time with Micah,
39:44I feel like there's been more growth
39:46and understanding for one another.
39:47I think Micah and I have connected well.
39:50I love the effort.
39:51Oh, I hurt my back.
39:52Good work, Micah.
39:53Good work.
39:53My neck, my back.
39:55This is rough Florida.
39:56I'm going to do that on.
39:57I'll give you that.
39:57I know.
39:57It hurt many parts of my body.
40:01I'm having a good, genuine time,
40:03but I don't know if I can go to the wedding.
40:05Like, there's so much baggage
40:07and trauma with this family.
40:10And if I see Tegan,
40:12I'm afraid something bad's going to happen.
40:13I don't trust Micah.
40:15It's simple as that.
40:17I can't trust a cheater.
40:19And if he goes to the wedding by himself, we're done.
40:24All right, guys, hang on.
40:27Brad's a beat.
40:27Here we go.
40:28Sorry, my wedding day is four days away
40:30and there's a million people to coordinate with.
40:31I'm not sleeping tonight until everything is done.
40:34I got some drip going on.
40:36I feel like Barry wants to be the fun, approving dad.
40:40I can hug him.
40:41I think that's why he signed off on the marriage so quickly.
40:45Hi, Bobos.
40:46I decided to come.
40:47Micah and I agreed with a pact
40:49to not leave each other's side.
40:53We're not even here an hour
40:54and he already left me by myself.
40:57Motherf***er.
40:59When we see a bunch of red flags
41:02that somebody's getting ready
41:03to make a lifelong commitment,
41:04I feel like we owe it to them to say,
41:07this is what we see.
41:08I agree.
41:09I'm ready to get married.
41:12Got a lot of pent-up emotions
41:14and stuff that hasn't been expressed.
41:19Oh!
41:24Oh!
