00:00I guess I'm the brain type that would entertain the possibility that this creature, Bigfoot, is real.
00:06Ever get that feeling when you're in the woods that something's watching you?
00:09I promise you, something's watching you.
00:13I could see Dad with someone who's very adventurous.
00:16I wonder if Sandra Bullock is a Sasquatch enthusiast.
00:19All right, Ethan, what's like kind of your goal in like going up to Wisconsin?
00:24Zach is like very pushy and it's very different than my brother's.
00:29It feels like he just got down here.
00:31Sucks that you have to leave so soon.
00:33Well, you know, I asked Tegan to come to Montana.
00:36I didn't know that.
00:38I'll support him, whatever he does, but if I can see something that I don't think is a good idea,
00:42it pains me to just sit back and watch him.
00:45Hello, welcome.
00:46How are you?
00:47I think Ethan knows what's at stake if she rejects him.
00:51Are you friends?
00:53What do you think?
00:57Oh my God, what am I doing here?
01:09I don't want to be late for the flight.
01:13Hello.
01:14Hey, homie.
01:16Hi, Harry.
01:17You're on speaker, but we're waiting on you.
01:21I'm already so...
01:24Me and Kaelin are going to Montana together.
01:28It's good to be able to go on a trip with her after everything we've been through.
01:32Everything feels like it's pretty much back to normal now.
01:35And so regardless of the breakup, it's good to go, you know, travel with her.
01:44Isaac has invited me on a trip to see Mariah and Montana.
01:48We're so excited to see her and go on a little vacation.
01:51You're on time?
01:52Exactly.
01:538.27, 8.30.
01:57Yeah, she's functional.
01:58Things between me and Isaac, they're actually going really good.
02:01Honestly, better than they ever were.
02:04He's just giving me all the reassurance that I can ask for.
02:07And I'm on time.
02:09And communicate the way we should be doing.
02:12He does everything that he can every single day to prove to me that he loves me.
02:17You look good.
02:19Sometimes you've got to take that little breakup in order for things to really and truly heal both of y
02:24'all and the relationship.
02:25And I honestly think that's what's happened with us.
02:27And I can't be more thankful.
02:30Ethan's meeting us there.
02:31Jeff Teagan.
02:32I mean, Teagan's coming to Montana, and it is kind of like a little shock.
02:39After the breakup, I don't know if Teagan wants to get back with Ethan or not.
02:43For now, I guess the first step is just seeing, you know, how she treats him in Montana.
02:55I don't necessarily have, like, a problem with Teagan.
02:58It's just since the breakup, there was a few private things that went on that I didn't necessarily agree with.
03:06I can start to see the planes coming into the airport.
03:10Teagan is, you know, so sweet and lovey-dovey towards Ethan.
03:14One minute and then the next thing you know, it's complete sideways.
03:18You can't just play with somebody's emotions like that.
03:21I understand Ethan did certain things that he's not proud of, and he's taken full accountability for it.
03:27But you can't continue to play with somebody.
03:30We are now almost ready to go, so please take your seat.
03:44All right, I think these are done.
03:48Tonight, I made dinner for my dad, and I invited my friend Berlin over to help.
03:52Me and Berlin met maybe five years ago.
03:55We met at church, and she's really fun.
03:59I love doing this.
04:02It looks so fancy.
04:04Amber is really fun.
04:05She's playful.
04:06I really enjoy just hanging out with her.
04:08She's good to talk to.
04:10How's the cooking coming?
04:11Good.
04:12It's ready.
04:12We were waiting for you.
04:14Wow.
04:15My relationship with Amber these days is maturing.
04:18She's maturing.
04:18She's growing up.
04:19She's showing herself to be a very responsible young lady.
04:23Looking good.
04:26Smells great.
04:26So the relationship is changing more to peer-to-peer, and less, you know, father-daughter.
04:36Yummy.
04:37Yum.
04:37I'm going to give this the taste test.
04:42Oh, fabulous.
04:44That's awesome.
04:45Mm-hmm.
04:46That is...
04:47I know she didn't say this, but that is really good.
04:49So, did she tell you that I'm dating?
04:55I heard.
04:56Yeah.
04:56How's that going?
04:58It's in the beginning.
04:59It's at the really early phases.
05:04Dad has recently started talking to ladies, and, you know, he's in the dating pool, I guess
05:13you could say.
05:13So that's exciting.
05:18Met anyone yet?
05:20No, I've just been talking.
05:21Just been talking on the phone.
05:24I wish I could find someone and set you up.
05:28Just seems like it'd be fun.
05:30Yeah.
05:30Blind Dave?
05:31I don't know about blind dates, but, you know, if they're known by, like, a friend who knows
05:37somebody, yeah, I would be open to that.
05:42I think Dad would be able to tell if, like, someone is being crazy.
05:45I hope.
05:47If not, I'll tell him.
05:49Around Cairo, I'm...
05:51I'm known as the Plath Daddy.
05:54Really?
05:56Huh.
05:56I've got a new nickname.
06:00So, yeah.
06:02Life's an adventure.
06:04Life's an adventure.
06:08So, did you know that I interviewed a guy who had an encounter with Bigfoot?
06:13Really?
06:14Mm-hmm.
06:16Yep.
06:17Me, Dad, and Mercy went Bigfoot hunting.
06:20True.
06:21Don't you believe me?
06:22No, I believe you.
06:23I believe you.
06:25Dad starts talking about Bigfoot.
06:27And if you can find someone who will listen to him talk about Bigfoot, he'll talk.
06:31I think they're with us.
06:33It's still the day.
06:35Yeah.
06:36Various types.
06:39You think there's a lot of ladies out there that are Bigfoot hunting that could be a good
06:43match for Barry?
06:44Maybe.
06:45I don't know.
06:46There are people who have captured audio.
06:50Of the call?
06:51Of a Bigfoot.
06:52It's a language of sorts that's beyond what we understand.
06:57Who does he speak to?
07:00Other Bigfoots.
07:01Oh.
07:01Of course.
07:03The theory is there's a whole tribe of them, a whole race of them.
07:07Just all in hiding?
07:10Well, they have paranormal abilities, right?
07:13The use of portals.
07:17The portals, that's new.
07:18I did not know about the portals.
07:21Yeah.
07:23They've captured these things on film or seen them in person just dematerialized, just
07:31like through a portal.
07:33Well.
07:34That's freaky, isn't it?
07:36Yeah.
07:37I don't know.
07:39Kind of lost me after that.
07:41I was like, okay.
07:42I don't know.
07:43Mr. Barry definitely seems like a fun dad.
07:46It used to be in the realm of anybody who talks about Bigfoot needs to go to the psych ward,
07:53you know, 50 years ago.
07:55Now it's just become, people are warming up to the fact that there's more out there in
08:00creation that meets the eye.
08:02Oh, dad, you're still going to the psych ward.
08:03Oh, thank you.
08:05Will you come and visit me on weekends?
08:24Can I use some of that?
08:25Yeah.
08:26Can I use some of this?
08:27Yes.
08:35What's up, girl?
08:36Morning.
08:39What are y'all doing?
08:40Just putting on my coat.
08:42Wide awake, good night's sleep, you know, ready to roll.
08:45Oh, yeah.
08:46For sure.
08:46So last night we got in pretty late.
08:48We were all very tired, but it's my first time here in Montana and I'm going to look around
08:53and do some fun things, explore, and just see what Montana has for us.
08:58So I'm excited.
08:59We haven't seen Ethan or Tegan yet, but we should be meeting up with them in a little bit.
09:04What do you guys want to do today?
09:05I want to wing it, play it by ear, and just explore it.
09:08So we don't really have anything set in stone.
09:10We're just kind of...
09:11Yeah.
09:12We're in Montana on a little sibling vacation.
09:15I drove over last night, and Ethan, Tegan, and Isaac and Kaelin got in yesterday.
09:22Well, we'll change, and then we'll be right over.
09:24Does that sound good?
09:25Yeah.
09:26So good.
09:30It'll be good to see Tegan, I think.
09:32It's been since the wedding that I saw her.
09:37The last time I saw her, I think, was before school started.
09:40But it's been a hot minute.
09:46Me and Tegan were always close at the beginning, but I kind of, you know, took a little step
09:51back, because whenever something would happen, she would call me, and, you know, I'm always
09:56there for somebody.
09:57But Ethan would sometimes talk to me about certain things, too, so I don't want to be in the middle
10:01of things, and I know nobody wants to be in the middle of things.
10:24How are you doing?
10:26You look tired.
10:30Where are your brother and Kaelin at?
10:34Are you just waiting for them?
10:35Yeah.
10:35Oh, okay.
10:36Tegan and I got in yesterday.
10:39The travel out was very frustrating.
10:43We both are extremely tired.
10:45It's a lot for me to just be friends with Tegan, because I love her.
10:49But that's where she's at, and I want to meet her where she's at, you know, and be respectful
10:57about that.
11:00Would you want to watch a movie later?
11:06Um, I don't know.
11:07Maybe.
11:09You want to go look at them?
11:13Sure.
11:14In these rooms, at least how my room was set up, like, the only way to watch the movie
11:19would be if you sat in bed, and I do not want Ethan in my bed.
11:27You used to say that Ethan was the one.
11:32When I laid eyes on him, I was like, oh, he's it.
11:35He's the one.
11:36You're so handsome.
11:37You're so beautiful.
11:39And now you don't even want to watch a movie with him alone.
11:44What happened?
11:45Was there some kind of inciting incident that led you here?
11:51Yeah.
11:56So how are you and Ethan doing now?
11:58He seems super sad right now.
11:59Like, I wish he was happier.
12:01She might be not wanting to make a wrong move or say the wrong thing.
12:04And Kaelin and I don't talk at the moment, so I don't really think she knows the whole
12:10story.
12:12You guys are going to Montana?
12:13Yep.
12:14Isaac and Ethan are out there right now, aren't they?
12:16Visiting Mariah?
12:18Yeah.
12:19It would have been fun to be able to join him on this trip, but I didn't really hear about
12:22it till last minute.
12:23I've kind of just felt like I've been on the outside looking in.
12:34You don't even want to watch a movie with him alone.
12:38What happened?
12:39Was there some kind of inciting incident that led you here?
12:43Yeah.
12:45The last straw that sort of broke the camel's back of our relationship was I went to celebrate
12:52his birthday with him, and it was a surprise.
12:55I coordinated with his grandparents.
12:57I did the five-hour drive out there.
13:00The ice was already thin at that point because I was already months in to me telling her that
13:07I would move, and I still hadn't moved yet.
13:10At first, he seemed happy and everything like that.
13:12Then he sort of just disappeared for a while, which is Ethan.
13:15He does that.
13:16I went to find him, and he was working on one of his cars, but he was just acting really
13:21weird.
13:22I started shutting down like I was not saying anything.
13:25I just wanted to keep working on my car.
13:29I was just such an idiot.
13:31And I kept asking, you know, what's wrong?
13:34What's up?
13:35What's going on?
13:36And he didn't really want to talk about it.
13:37He kept shutting me down.
13:38And she started getting really frustrated that I wasn't communicating with her.
13:41And maybe I was asking too many times.
13:43You know, he said nothing was wrong, but his words and actions were not matching.
13:47I could tell.
13:48Do you see anything you like?
13:51And she kept pressing me, like, talk to me, talk to me, talk to me.
13:55And as she kept pressing me, I was looking at her, and it was like I was seeing my ex.
14:01She used to do that.
14:03I just finally put my tools down, wiped my hands off, gotten my 76 New Yorker.
14:11He sort of peeled out of there, and he shut his phone off, and left me at his grandparents' farm.
14:19I remember looking back.
14:20It's one of the most depressing images that sticks in my mind that haunts me even today.
14:25It's just Tegan, just perfectly beautiful, standing there in the driveway, crying with her hand over her mouth.
14:35And I saw in the rearview mirror as I just peeled down the road.
14:40We broke up that day over the phone when he turned his phone back on at some point.
14:47It was just horrible.
14:49And then after that point, it was like everything just kind of ended for me.
14:54And then I came back to Georgia.
14:57He finally came to me with what I could tell was a truth he'd been holding on to for quite
15:01some time,
15:02that he wanted to watch all his minor siblings grow up back down in Georgia.
15:10Mercy, his youngest sibling, was 12, and so that meant he'd want to be down there for the next six
15:15years.
15:17I just said it in passing, but not really considering everything.
15:23Like, would I really want that?
15:26We didn't really talk for quite a while after that.
15:31I really, really hope this time around I can be who Tegan needs in a relationship.
15:36Put her first, you know, love her in the way she deserves to be loved.
15:41But it's very possible that's too little too late.
15:46I'll never know unless I try.
15:51Do you want to play tic-tac-toe?
15:53Sure.
15:54Which ones do you want to be?
15:55It doesn't matter.
15:57I'll be the exes then.
15:59I decided to come to Montana because I think it would give Ethan and I an opportunity to spend time
16:05together.
16:07Romantic stuff aside, just as friends.
16:10Do you want to go first?
16:11You can go first.
16:13Okay.
16:13We had been no contact for a while.
16:16And when you break up with someone, you know, you lose that romantic side, but you lose the friendship too.
16:22And so I'm just focusing on rebuilding that.
16:25And if that's where that ends, then that's where it ends, you know, with friends.
16:29I guess I'm just mostly curious to see how he'll handle being friends on a trip.
16:38Oh, you're going to win.
16:44It's freezing outside.
16:48Awesome.
16:49Good morning.
16:50Hello.
16:50Hey, guys.
16:51What's up, Ethan?
16:52Hi.
16:53How are you?
16:55Long time to see.
16:56I love your hands.
16:58Oh, thank you.
17:00I do have love for the family.
17:02And I mean, I hope there's nothing but love from their side.
17:06But I know Ethan doesn't communicate well, so I don't know what they do know or don't know.
17:10Well, I'm looking for a seat.
17:12I'm going to sit down.
17:15I just need to take this jacket off.
17:17Yeah, I know. I took mine off right away, too.
17:20Are you sad, happy?
17:24Oh, yeah.
17:26I'm sad with the weather.
17:28This stuff is awful.
17:29Look at it. It's just raining out.
17:31Tegan is normal towards us.
17:33When I saw her, she gave me a hug and said, what's up?
17:37But she just seems distant from Ethan.
17:41We're going to go play a card game.
17:43Brian?
17:44I got my job in my house.
17:47Yeah, I heard. That's awesome.
17:50I made a lot of steps just to be nearer and set up a life nearer.
17:55I don't think she would have come to Montana if I hadn't done that,
17:58so that's a little something, at least to get to see her.
18:02I was so excited for everyone to come out and see me,
18:05and I didn't know you were coming to.
18:07I was hoping, but I didn't know you for sure were coming
18:10until, like, two days or so.
18:12Yeah, I'm surprised.
18:14Surprise!
18:16Yeah.
18:20The vibe with Ethan and Tegan is...
18:28I don't know.
18:29I don't know.
18:29I don't know.
18:30I actually don't know.
18:32I didn't think about that.
18:39It's only awkward if you make it awkward.
18:42Exactly.
18:43And everyone else makes it awkward,
18:45so I'm the one making it not awkward.
18:46Because she'll just talk when it's quiet.
18:49Mm-hmm.
18:51So how are you and Ethan doing now?
18:53I would just say, like, all right.
18:56You know, finding out he's moving was a big shock,
19:00especially, like, at this stage, you know,
19:02because we've been broken up for quite some time.
19:06He had told me that his plan was to just move there.
19:11He was like, this is, like, it's going to kill me
19:13if I don't just move there and see what I can do to make it work.
19:17And I was like, oh, hold on a second.
19:20Back up a couple miles.
19:22I'm not following.
19:25Yeah, definitely a big shock.
19:27Yeah.
19:29We've been just, like, working on a friendship
19:31because he said he's open to a relationship of any kind,
19:34even if that is just a friendship.
19:36And we were, you know, best friends.
19:38And I've told him that, like, I do have love for him.
19:41I always will.
19:42When Ethan and I were together, I was in Wisconsin.
19:46He was in Minnesota.
19:48When it did come to traveling, most of it was me.
19:52And I am a working mom, so my free time is limited.
19:57Like, looking back on that, I was just like, you know,
20:00you realize things are like, oh, come on, Tegan.
20:02It's not like a red flag by any means,
20:05but definitely like a yellow flag for sure.
20:08Yellow, orange.
20:09All right, you got to at least get one.
20:12You wanted to lose.
20:14You were trying to lose.
20:16I don't have any interest at this point
20:18in diving deep into anything beyond superficial.
20:22I just have walls up, I guess.
20:24You know, I just want to figure this out, like, slow.
20:31He seems super sad right now.
20:33Like, and I wish he was happier.
20:35But I know men and women process things at different times.
20:38They always say women more in a relationship
20:40while they're in it, you know,
20:42whereas men don't realize they've lost something
20:44until the breakup happens.
20:46So that's why I feel so bad that he's, like, so emotional
20:48and I sort of just seem, like, not at all.
20:51Well, also, I don't think he wants to, like,
20:53do anything wrong either.
20:54Like, he might be nervous about that.
20:56Yeah.
20:56Not wanting to make a wrong move
20:57or say the wrong thing, you know.
21:00No, I get that.
21:05After Ethan and I broke up,
21:08Kaylin and I talked for quite some time,
21:11many months,
21:12and eventually just sort of fizzled out
21:14so we don't talk at the moment.
21:17So I don't really think she knows the whole story.
21:21No one can predict the future,
21:22but if it's meant to be, it'll be.
21:26If it's not, it won't be, so.
21:28I know people go at things, you know,
21:30at their own pace,
21:31but, you know, since he's moving up there,
21:35I thought that, like,
21:37it would have been a little different
21:38instead of just being friends.
21:42Um, but I honestly can't tell you
21:45whether or not I think she still wants that.
21:50We'll just have to see what happens.
21:53Is this supposed to stop raining anytime soon?
21:56Mm-mm.
21:56Let's play cards.
21:58That's our only option.
22:01Do you have anything to say
22:03about how you chose to conduct yourself last year,
22:06especially to Zach?
22:08I definitely shouldn't have been so hot-headed.
22:11Is there any way to live life?
22:12No.
22:13Being petty?
22:22So how'd you sleep last night?
22:25Um, I woke up really, really hot in the morning,
22:28and I realized, I forgot that I turned my heat on to 80 degrees.
22:34So I was like, ha-ha, I'm in hell.
22:38I woke up on the wrong side of the bed
22:40with my eyebrows not on anymore,
22:41so I have to redo that.
22:43Because of my alopecia,
22:45these eyebrows have saved my life.
22:49I see a little bit of new growth,
22:52just a tiny bit,
22:53but it's not enough to get too excited about,
23:00but it's something to get my hopes up.
23:02I'm still in the process of figuring out, you know,
23:05exactly what's wrong and what triggers it,
23:07but right now what I'm just really working on
23:10is taking care of myself.
23:14You know, just taking vitamins and stuff like that
23:17and my diet and trying to eat more
23:18and hopefully put on a little bit of weight.
23:21Just overall, make sure I'm healthy.
23:24The hardest part is lining it up.
23:26That's where I have to do it a few times sometimes.
23:28Sometimes I can pick up my emotion for the day.
23:31It's like, do I want to be happy?
23:33Sad? Angry?
23:35Every single human being I've met
23:37has some big insecurity that they struggle with,
23:40and it might not be something as obvious as hair,
23:42but we all have it.
23:45I think something that I would tell my younger self is
23:49embrace the good and the bad,
23:51and all of that makes you you,
23:53and it will one day make you a lot stronger.
23:57Mm!
23:59Yeah!
24:00This one's lower, though,
24:02but it's because this is kind of...
24:04But you know what?
24:05It's gonna be fine.
24:06When I first lost my hair,
24:09I had just moved out here.
24:11I was trying to really start all over,
24:13and losing my hair really helped with that in a way.
24:15Like, looking back, I'm like,
24:17wow, it just forced me to shift my, um,
24:21mentality and my heart.
24:23This one looks a little lower.
24:25Those look so good.
24:26It's pretty...
24:26It's pretty close to...
24:29It's pretty good.
24:29So, we'll just roll with that today.
24:39Oh, my goodness.
24:46Unfortunately, yesterday,
24:47it rained all day and all night,
24:49which really sucked,
24:50because it kept us inside,
24:51so we played games the entire day.
24:55But today, since it's nice out,
24:56we're gonna go horseback riding.
24:58Well, since the horses aren't ready yet,
25:00I'm gonna interview you.
25:04Ethan doesn't like to talk
25:05about his feelings and stuff,
25:07and I honestly have found
25:08the best that he ever does
25:10is really with a camera in his face,
25:12so it's sort of easier to get him to talk.
25:16Which person do you think will be best?
25:19Oh, I don't...
25:19I don't know.
25:20I haven't ridden a horse in, like, 10 years.
25:22You seem like you're from Yellowstone,
25:24except with blonde hair.
25:25Why the hell do I seem like that?
25:29I get to ask Ethan sort of whatever I want now,
25:32which is really nice,
25:33because he doesn't really share much.
25:35Do you have anything to say
25:37about how you chose to conduct yourself last year,
25:40especially to Zach?
25:42I ask him about
25:45how he acted
25:47during Zach and Lydia's wedding,
25:49wedding rehearsal,
25:50and the whole nine yards.
25:54I don't know that I can do this.
26:02I was really disappointed
26:04in the Ethan I was seeing,
26:06because that's not the Ethan I know.
26:08He really made an ass of himself.
26:10He was doing a really s***ing job
26:12of being there for his sister.
26:16Is there any way to live life?
26:17Being petty?
26:20Interesting.
26:23Tegan was really upset that
26:26I left without telling her
26:28I just took off again, you know?
26:31And I remember her telling me,
26:33like, if I was really struggling,
26:35or if I was like,
26:36if I had had it and I needed to go,
26:39then I should have come to her
26:40and told her that,
26:41and she could have gone with me,
26:42and we could have talked about it,
26:43and all that stuff.
26:44And I was like,
26:44I didn't even think about that.
26:46I just got in my car and left.
26:48But...
26:49I definitely shouldn't have been
26:51so hot-headed.
26:52I've apologized to Lydia and Zach
26:54for any of the ways
26:56that I may have hurt them.
26:58I let them both know
26:59that I wish them nothing but the best.
27:04And...
27:04we have a good relationship now.
27:08I just think interviewing Ethan
27:10gives him a chance to
27:12hopefully, you know,
27:14admit maybe wrongdoings
27:16or, you know,
27:16what he could do better.
27:19Because...
27:20like...
27:21to me,
27:22that would signify
27:23the growth I'm hoping for
27:25and just even a friendship alone.
27:30Are you excited
27:31for our first Christmas together?
27:33Oh, my goodness.
27:34You have no idea.
27:35I love...
27:36everything about Christmas.
27:38Christmas...
27:38Christmas Day.
27:38Everything about Christmas
27:39if you've never experienced it.
27:41I have three years
27:41of Christmas experience.
27:43Okay.
27:44I have 24.
28:05Are you excited for our first Christmas together?
28:08We're almost...
28:09Oh, my goodness.
28:09You have no idea.
28:11Or apparently you do.
28:12I don't know how any idea
28:13with you, though.
28:14I think it's...
28:15your excitement
28:16is gonna make this Christmas
28:18entirely different, so...
28:20The Plast grew up...
28:22kind of...
28:23not...
28:23they didn't celebrate Christmas.
28:25I grew up celebrating Christmas,
28:27and so as soon as Lydia
28:29heard about that,
28:30she...
28:31was jumping off the walls
28:32at the idea
28:33of decorating for Christmas.
28:34So, I'm down a couple hundred bucks,
28:36but we're having a great Christmas.
28:38Did you not celebrate
28:40at all growing up?
28:42Nope.
28:43It's my first Christmas together,
28:44and I'm just so excited.
28:46I love everything about Christmas.
28:49Christmas...
28:49How do you know you love everything
28:50about Christmas
28:50and you've never experienced it?
28:52I have.
28:53Oh.
28:53Okay.
28:54Just...
28:55not necessarily like
28:56when I was a little kid,
28:57but I have experienced it
28:58for several years.
29:00Okay.
29:01These candles might warm
29:02the room up a little bit.
29:04So...
29:04You know I love my candles.
29:06I have three years
29:07of Christmas experience.
29:09Okay.
29:09I have 24.
29:13Okay, so what are
29:14some of your favorite
29:15Christmas movies?
29:16Home Loan's a classic.
29:17Every year,
29:18my family would watch it
29:19all together.
29:20The best is
29:21It's a Wonderful Life.
29:22I've never seen it.
29:24Sackwise.
29:24I've never seen it.
29:26You...
29:26Come on in.
29:27Knock, knock.
29:28Taylor, you're here
29:29just in time.
29:30Did someone order
29:31delivery service?
29:32Oh, I forgot about that.
29:33I hear we have Coco
29:34in our future.
29:36Hi, guys.
29:38We're excited.
29:38We want to celebrate.
29:39So we got
29:41Taylor coming over.
29:42We're celebrating
29:43the whole month.
29:44Yeah.
29:45I love your tree,
29:46by the way.
29:49So, Taylor,
29:50what's your favorite thing
29:51about Christmas?
29:53Family.
29:55I don't get to
29:56spend much time
29:57with mine
29:57because they're
29:58all up north,
29:58but we all
30:00connect at Christmas.
30:01Yeah.
30:02Well, will you guys
30:03be here for that
30:03this year?
30:04No.
30:05We're going to have...
30:06Christmas with his family.
30:07Christmas with my family,
30:08Christmas in Colorado
30:10with my friends,
30:12so...
30:12And then you guys
30:13are going to Montana
30:13afterwards?
30:14Yep.
30:15Isaac and Ethan
30:16are out there right now,
30:17aren't they?
30:17Visiting Mariah?
30:19Yeah.
30:20Yeah.
30:23It would have been fun
30:24to be able to join
30:25them on this trip,
30:25but I didn't really
30:26hear about it
30:27until last minute,
30:27but I already have
30:28a trip planned to Montana
30:29in, like, next month,
30:31so it'll all be good.
30:32I think they're out there now,
30:33and we'll be out there
30:34in, like, three weeks.
30:37Mm-hmm.
30:38I do feel like
30:39the majority of my life,
30:41I have been kind of just
30:42overlooked as a middle child.
30:44I've kind of just felt
30:45like I've been
30:46on the outside looking in,
30:49and that's just shown itself
30:50in our marriage, too.
30:52There's just times
30:53where it really affects her,
30:54and even me, too.
30:55Like, we've both expressed
30:58pretty clearly, like,
30:59we want to be a part
31:01of their lives,
31:02and just a lot of stuff
31:03happens without us,
31:05and so it just can
31:06affect us sometimes.
31:08Yeah.
31:10Are you guys ready
31:11for some hot chocolate?
31:13Yeah, I would be good.
31:13I am.
31:14I've been ready
31:14since I woke up.
31:32We're finally going
31:33horseback riding.
31:34I'm not a professional,
31:35but I've definitely ridden
31:36horses in my life
31:38a good bit.
31:38I grew up riding horses.
31:40Hey, Jen Miller.
31:41What makes this special
31:43is that my family's here,
31:44and then we're all having
31:45fun doing it together.
31:47All right.
31:47You guys ready to get on?
31:48Yes, sir.
31:49Okay.
31:50Just a jump and a hop.
31:52All right, girl.
31:53All right.
31:54Perfect.
31:55This is Duke.
31:57He's going to be your dad.
31:57Hey, Duke.
32:00That's how I'm going to get that.
32:01Here's your rain.
32:02The trip so far
32:03has been very good.
32:05It's very good to see T
32:06and spend time with her.
32:07It's very different
32:08than it ever was,
32:10you know.
32:12Like, the distance is
32:15hard for me to get used to,
32:17but I understand it.
32:19Whoa.
32:22I'm noticing that Tegan's
32:23very standoffish from Ethan.
32:26I know Ethan's not been
32:27perfect in the relationship.
32:28If you're upset about something,
32:30that's okay,
32:30and you can work through
32:31that with your partner.
32:32But if she needs time
32:34to get over something,
32:36then she should take that time.
32:38So I don't know exactly
32:40what's at play there.
32:42Yeah.
32:43Here's Mr. Tucker.
32:44Hi.
32:47I'm a little nervous
32:48because I don't ride horses.
32:50Okay.
32:50Oh, gosh.
32:52I've ridden a horse,
32:53like, you know,
32:54those little, like,
32:55fair things
32:55where you just get on the horse
32:56and walk in a circle.
32:58Keep moving, Tuck.
33:01So that's about it.
33:03All my horse does is eat.
33:06He keeps, like, bending down,
33:08and then, like,
33:08I don't have any slack.
33:10So he won't do that
33:10when we're riding, right?
33:11No.
33:12Okay, because I'm not
33:13very strong.
33:15One of my nails fell off.
33:16That's crazy.
33:18Ethan is very protective of me,
33:20so I do appreciate that.
33:21But, I mean,
33:22a horse is a big creature,
33:25and so if he wanted
33:26to take me off,
33:27whether he got off his horse
33:28or not, like,
33:28the damage is done.
33:29So...
33:35Are we ready?
33:36I'm ready.
33:37So I'm in the middle
33:38of y'all two?
33:39Yep.
33:40There you go.
33:41Turn him towards me.
33:45You good?
33:46Yeah.
33:49How are things going
33:50so far with it, you've been?
33:53Yeah, it's just like doing things
33:55with any friends, you know?
33:57So it's not weird or anything.
33:59I'm having a good time.
34:01This is probably the hardest part
34:03about the whole entire ride
34:04is getting everybody started.
34:09Mm-hmm.
34:11A little steep hill here.
34:13Yep.
34:15Okay, everybody.
34:16I'm gonna have you guys
34:18hold your horses at this stump
34:19until the horse in front of you
34:21is up on the hill.
34:22So then that way,
34:23we don't have a traffic jam
34:24at the top.
34:25Uh-huh.
34:26Okay?
34:27Can you hear that, Tucker?
34:29Lean forward.
34:31All right, hold your horses at the stump.
34:34Okay.
34:34I don't want to be banded.
34:40Get it, babe.
34:41There you go, Abe.
34:45Yep, go slow, Bo.
34:47Duke, you look so graceful.
34:50Go, go, go.
34:51Come on, Tuck, Tuck.
34:52Come on.
34:54Watch the tree.
34:57It's been a long time
34:58since she's ridden a horse
35:00and she is nervous.
35:01I was hoping that we would get
35:02to ride close to each other
35:04so I could, you know,
35:05keep an eye on her
35:06and make sure she's okay.
35:08I definitely feel protective of her.
35:10And there's so much
35:12I want to say and do,
35:14but it can't all happen right now.
35:16You have to be,
35:17I have to be patient.
35:22Ethan keeps turning around
35:23to look at me.
35:25I'm sure it comes from a good place,
35:26you know, making sure I'm okay,
35:28but it just makes my anxiety worse.
35:31Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
35:37I am getting annoyed.
35:41Wait, wait, wait, wait.
35:42It's not our turn.
35:42Wait.
35:43Oh, no, wait for us.
35:44No.
35:47Oh, JJ.
35:50Boom.
35:51глаз chimney.
35:52You can go.
35:52Okay.
35:53Sorry.
35:54Go, go, go, go.
35:54Arizona's got an attitude.
35:55Okay, go, go.
35:57No, no, no.
35:58Go.
35:59I'm trying.
36:00Oh, my gosh.
36:07Okay, go, go.
36:08No, no, no.
36:14My horse tried to bite her horse.
36:16Yep, they fight like siblings.
36:19You know, horses have hierarchy.
36:21Some don't get along with others.
36:23They kind of got to keep their heads off their butt.
36:26Okay.
36:27I don't want the horse to get spooked and start running.
36:29That would not have been good.
36:32Katelyn's horse tried to bite my horse,
36:33so I guess our horse are beefing.
36:36Tucker's good, though. He's good.
36:38I'm on Tucker's side, honestly.
36:41You're good.
36:47Ethan's vibe right now, his energy is just really heavy.
36:51I don't know if I'm sad, depressed, upset, angry.
36:55I don't know what.
36:56It's sort of hard to navigate
36:58because I want to respect my boundary
37:00with not doing quality time.
37:03But at the same time, the people-pleaser in me is like,
37:05well, maybe if I did do that, would he be happier?
37:09I know you're getting tired, babe.
37:10I am too.
37:12It's the first time I'm hanging out with Ethan now,
37:16post-breakup, in like a big extended, you know, trip.
37:22And so it's definitely weird, and I'm adjusting too.
37:27So, I mean, I don't blame him for adjusting,
37:31just maybe in a different way than I am.
37:34On FLI, Tucker, you're, like, awesome.
37:39I think, for me at this point, it's more important
37:42to stick to my boundary.
37:44I feel like Ethan, in our relationship,
37:47was putting himself first, and I wasn't putting myself first.
37:51I was putting him first.
37:52And so I, you know, I'm sort of taking the reins on that
37:55and putting myself first.
37:57Oh, my gosh! Somebody get pictures!
38:01That is so freaking pretty!
38:05It's very easy for me to get in my head about things.
38:09And when I do, I just become very distant and quiet,
38:13and sometimes I don't even see what's going on right around me.
38:21And I'm a little aware of how that affects other people,
38:24you know, or what affects Tegan.
38:26So I was trying my best to reel myself into reality.
38:32This is, like, the first time that we've been together
38:37for any length of time.
38:38And so, you know, Tegan may be hesitant
38:42or has some walls up, and that's perfectly fine
38:44and understandable.
38:47I don't want to be by her horse,
38:48and I'm trying to find my horse, so...
38:50Not next to Kaelin. Sorry, Kaelin.
38:52Normally I'd love to be next to you.
38:58You know, this is no fun to go through,
39:03but, you know, I'm hopeful that this isn't the end for us.
39:10Hi, y'all!
39:12Cheese!
39:13Where did his hair come from?
39:14Ethan!
39:15Ethan, put your ears up!
39:17Ethan, look at the picture!
39:23Tegan's definitely blowing him off.
39:26I don't understand that.
39:27She gets invited out and do a family trip with us
39:29and, you know, just kind of blows him off the whole time.
39:33He was so excited about her being out here,
39:36so I understand if he's sad.
39:38But he's been sad for so long, I think it's time he just...
39:42I don't know. If it's not going to work,
39:44it's not going to work.
39:46And we're out!
39:47Come on!
39:51These mountains are so beautiful.
39:53Mother up for us.
39:55Tegan is being a little standoffish.
39:57It is understandable in a way,
39:59but, I mean, why come to a whole different state
40:03with your ex-boyfriend and his family
40:06if you're not necessarily going to, like,
40:09kind of make that effort?
40:11Isaac always says we have to decrease the tune, not attitude.
40:21I want to be with you forever.
40:25And that's why there are some concerns that I have.
40:30I love Kim, but I think it could potentially be a deal-breaker
40:34if she is not going to commit to her help.
40:37He's giving me an ultimatum.
40:39I do worry about the future of our relationship
40:42when I hear him say things like that.
40:44Obviously, you say the first time you guys had sex
40:46until your wedding night.
40:47How was that? Like, what was that like?
40:49Oh!
40:51It's definitely a side of me that no one has ever seen
40:54or I never imagined was there.
40:58You just did that. I'm sorry.
41:02I'm on a coffee date with my mom.
41:05So, he's here.
41:07He invited me to go see his house that he's renting.
41:12Obviously, his end goal is to win her back, as it were.
41:15So, it's our choice to create a bit of a boundary there.
