'Teen Mom 2' recap: Coming Clean

On last night's episode of Teen Mom 2, everyone had something to hide, for reasons of embarrassment (Chelsea, who invited that awful boyfriend to her house), sadness (Leah, who learned about Ali's potentially life-changing condition) or pride (Jenelle, who asked to be taken back in). Let's see how the girls fared.

Chelsea
Isn't it just grand when you live with your friends and can drink soda straight out of the bottle? Such is life for Chelsea except for, er, the whole baby thing. As expected, she was finding it hard to live with an untethered roommate who had the freedom to go out. That, coupled with the fact that she has been desperate to find a companion, led Chelsea to give in to her ex-boyfriend's texts. But while Chelsea forgot about his profanity-laden text, Megan certainly did not. "I don't think so," she said after Chelsea said he might come to their house. I initially had doubts about Megan as a roommate. Would she actually be okay with a baby in the house? Would she be able to handle it? That remains to be seen, but what was clear was, that unlike the other Teen Mom friends, Megan actually speaks up. She doesn't just listen when her friend makes a bad decision; she gives her opinion, which just so happens to coincide with my own.

But there was little Megan could do when Chelsea gave her, oh, a five-minute warning that Adam was on his way over. Once there, it was no surprise that he claimed he had changed -- but it was of course in that teenage way where nothing has changed at all. "I started missing you," he said. "I think it's time to change. It's time to grow up a lot." Even if the promos hadn't already shown us otherwise, it wasn't hard to predict that Adam's confession wasn't true. Chelsea attempted to sound dubious about his transformation -- probably because she knew Megan would grill her about it -- but it was all for naught. By the end of the episode, they weren't back together, but were certainly headed down that treacherous road. "What the f--- just happened?" Megan asked after Adam left. Oh, Megan, I'd like to know myself. I'd also like to know why Chelsea's father can spring for a nice house but not a crib for Aubree. Get that baby off the sleeping bag!

Jenelle
The custody battle raged on between Jenelle and her mother, and in the interim Jenelle had flown the coop, crashing at her friend Amber's house, where the two sat on a couch outside, which reminded me of another teen pregnancy. With a court hearing looming, Jenelle knew she'd be better off with her own lawyer, as opposed to the court-appointed one, but what she didn't know was just how expensive her own attorney would be (a $5,000 retainer fee plus $200 per hour, to be exact). That was when she realized just how serious her mom was, and just how easily Jace could be taken away -- especially since she admitted to dabbling in marijuana.
