This week’s After Show starts with the girls reflecting on what it’s like to look back at the last year of their life. Personally, I think I’d need a bucket and a corner man if I had to watch a video recap of my life each year. That can’t be easy man! Anywho, Leah gets very real and reflective about the whirlwind that was the divorce, Kailyn looks back at her hook-up with Jo and what that meant to her and Jordan, Jenelle discusses rehab and what it was like to see her mom so openly overjoyed to see her return home and Chelsea talks Adam and lets the slightest bit of hope in that she’ll one day get past him.

Last night’s penultimate episode of Teen Mom 2 was an hour and a half roller coaster of emotions and learning the hard way via the school of hard knocks. We’ve admittedly got a soft spot for our girls and find ourselves pulling for them to break through the very real problems they face and to better themselves for the future of their children. As the curtain closed and we saw Leah overcome with the reality of her impending divorce, I was reminded of a song called “Spare Parts” and thought I’d share it. It’s a reminder that even in these moments in time where each turn seems like a bad one there’s grace, strength, conviction and love to be found.

We’re getting deep into the 2nd season of Teen Mom 2. Wednesday finds us once again breaking down the After Show and bonus footage from MTV for last night’s episode. For this Wednesday wake-up call we’ve got Jenelle and her total backstabbing court situation with Delp, Leah’s exasperation at Corey’s inability to express himself and where he’s coming from as their marriage crumbles, Chelsea not talking about Adam for the most part which is awesome, and Kailyn trying to explain why she thinks it’s okay for her to have a boyfriend but not all right for Jo to have one of his “groupies.”
