LeShawna was sitting on her bed; clearly sad "Oh man. That test was some sad news" and in almost the exact same time, her boyfriend started stirring around in his sleep; groaning, like he was having a bad dream.

"Aww, my sugarcane is having a bad dream" as she started to slightly shake him up. After a bit, he sprung from his breath, and heaved, trying to capture his reality and breath.

"Woah. Oh my gosh. What a bad dream" as he put his hand on his chest to catch his breath. He saw his girlfriend up, and looking at him with concern. "I am sorry I woke you up LeLuscious".

She sighed "No, you did not wake me up. I could not sleep right after we got the compatibility test. Those things are not a bunch of gibberish. Maybe we are not right for one another, but you FEEL so right"

He went to hug his wife, as they could comfort one another about the bad news "I honestly think he rigged them to be honest. And even if he did not, no test will ever determine our entire relationship. What I am thankful of is that we made it through half of Couples Therapy."

She smiled "Oh yeah Harold. I am thankful that we only have 10 more days here. We are learning how to communicate better, and we are working out some of our issues. We should go own to breakfast" as they shared a kiss before they started getting dressed.

Harold confessed in the confessional "I know LeShawna and I started to argue during the first few days of being here, but I am thankful that we are stopping the mind games. That is definitely one of the biggest issues in our relationship, and it is nice to see that we are not the worst in this household"


The TDROTI crew were up first, and the girls were cooking, with the guys setting up the table. Dakota was nervous, as there was obvious tension in the group "Seriously Zoey, why do I feel tension?"

The redhead looked at her lover in disappointment "We got into an argument about Anne Maria and their baby. He actually wants to be a deadbeat father. I could not believe it, and he then started to deflect it on the fact that his screw ups are seen as so big because he is put in the position of the hero, practically saying that I am a damsel in distress and too clingy. And then he called my parents racist. Anyways, things seem better with you and Sam"

Dakota looked at her boyfriend for a moment before she went back to cooking her eggs "You know, over the past few days, I realized that I need to be more affectionate of him, and that we need to do things together, so we could like Sam...and Dakota better"

Mike and Sam were having their conversation about the same thing "I felt like I was raped when I was in control, and found myself having sex with Anne Maria after the water challenge. I feel like...I have to be perfect to be with her, and that is hard. I love her, but it is an unrealistic feeling. And then she had to bring up her parents in the topic. Do you understand me?"

The gamer gave Mike a baffled look "Somewhat. Dakota does want me to be perfect, with the perfect attitude, body, look, style, so on and so on. Things were really strained, and I felt like she was trying to force me to being something I was not"

Josh arrived, with the 3 other couples right behind him. The therapist was extremely antsy and jittery "Come everyone. Sit down, sit down. Today, is officially the halfway park of Couples Therapy" with everyone clapping. "I know it has been draining for all of you one way or another; a bitchslap to the floor on the sand, plates being tossed at one another, a couple getting served a lawsuit, another couple exposed of having a love child, and the final couple suffering from jealousy of one having a baby, and a BUNCH of other reasons. I have decided... to move my wife Blaineley in for the SECOND HALF OF THE SEASON" making all of their faces drop.

Bridgette rolled her eyes in the confessional "Holy shit. MILDRED? She is gonna make this experience so much worse for all of us; especially Geoff and I, who have some unfinished business with her. Hell is going to break loose"

Geoff groaned "Buckle up everyone, because we are going to be going on a deadly ride; Mildred. These last 11 days will be interesting...for everyone but Bridge and I"

Blaineley got out of her limo, with a tight dress and mini coat, 7-inch heels, and Gucci sunglasses on her figure. She strutted out of the limo, and into the house like she was a supermodel getting her runway walk being photographed at every end. She opened the door dramatically and made her presence known. She got off the horror on everyone's faces; especially that dreaded blonde couple of Gidgette "Why hello there everyone. You are looking so sexy baby" as she kissed Josh.

Bridgette glared at the therapist's wife "How does SHE have to do with Couples Therapy, being that she is not a therapist, and knows NOTHING about Sociology", only for Blaineley's coat to be whipped at her face.

The 43 year old woman sat on a chair, with her legs crossed as she explained "Because I have ALL the dirt on you couples. I spoke to many of your parents, got e-mails speaking about or to your others, and info from your phones. We are going to air them out, and my husband will for some reason fix them. But I am SURE some will only cause more damage. I am living here as well"

Duncan got up and complained "Are you kidding me? She is ONLY going to make things worse"

"Yeah, yeah. She is going to expose more things, and we will work through it. I just wanted to let you know that she is here, and she is not going anywhere. Anyways, I need to finish some interviews with Dakota and LeShawna, so I will leave the rest with you babe" as he went to kiss his wife, as he waved his hand, to tell Dakota and Leshawna to join him in his office.


Dakota and Josh entered the office, with him telling the black woman "Leshawna, wait out here".

Dakota sat in front of Josh's desk, as he made his way to his desk "So Dakota, where do you want to start with our one on one interview? How about your upbringing"

"Well, I have an extremely famous father. He is a successful producer and director, and because of it, I grew up living the FABULOUS LIFE. Movie premiers, acting gigs, press, photo shoots, pageants, many vacations, etc. I was a child star, and it was nice to have all of these opportunities. After my actor mother died, things just went wrong, and my father grew to become more distant, and I became a bit lonely. It was like everyone lost interest in me" she revealed easily.

"I am curious to know how your father reacted to Sam, and how their relationship is?" the therapist asked, as he started to take down notes.

She did not even hesitate "It was weird. They never had an issue with one another, and actually got along really well. He says he sees something special in Sam, but he never realizes the potential he can have. It gets annoying to deal with Sam being so unconfident. It is not attractive being unconfident"

He wanted to get into the deep, juicy questions "Well, have you ever thought that you could do better than Sam. Do you regret being with him?"

She looked down for a few moments before she had the nerve to face Josh "Sometimes, yes. Like I said, it is unattractive to see an unconfident man, and other times, he is too...anti-social and geeky. I do not have a problem with him being a gamer, but we need to leave the house, and show everyone our love. I feel like he does not love Dakota for Dakota, but for Dakotzoid, and I am not her anymore, and for some reason, he cannot understand that. He may be happy being a pathetic person living in a basement, having no job for 5 years, or running a declining store, but I am not. He does not see the big deal as to see why I NEED to work"

"Do you think he is a bitch? Like Geoff and Duncan said"

"Not at all, and if anything, Geoff is the bitch. He is the one who wears pink clothes, and needs to act tough just so Duncan can see him as worthy or some crap. Sam is definitely a sensitive person, but he is not effeminate in any way, and he is really a great person to lean on"

Josh had to nod his head a bit "Lean on; count on; to be there. Are you ever there for him? It seems like he is always there for you, but it is not two-sided. From what I have observed this past week and a half, you need to make sure that he is doing okay, and to pay attention to him. Do not make it seem like he is your crutch."


Blaineley was looking at the couples on who she is going to prey on "So, Courtney. How does it feel to have your man enjoy the company of another woman more than he enjoys you? Isn't this...like...the 8th woman this has happened to?"

The soon to be lawyer wanted to keep her cool "What do you mean by that?"

"You know, your boyfriend, or should I say...your toy likes being with other women more than he does with you. So far, he has had more fun here with Zoey than he has with you. All you to have done is make the tension between you two grow. I am SURE you would be interested in what Duncan said to Zoey when they were out for 12 hours 2 days ago"

Duncan's eyes widened, as he got nervous "I love my girlfriend, and none of the other bullshit matters"

"Oh really Duncan? I thought you would have been over the lies about the women at the age. I think I know why you need such attention from women; you were fucked and had your virginity raped from you by a bunch of men in the jail, and you were the bitch in juvie, but you are almost 25. And stop telling Zoey a bunch of stuff about Mike to break up with him. Just because the cameras were not there, does not mean that you were not mic'd."

'You are such a crazy, old bat Blaineley. It is so clear that you are making this up. Do not believe anything this bitch says Princess" he assured Courtney, as he tried to wrap his arm around her, before she smacked it.

"Don't touch me"

The therapist's wife cackled "Do not worry Duncan and Courtney, that is NOWHERE near as bad as having your mother and fiance at the time fuck, to ease your conscience and to restore the balance. Isn't that right Bridgette" smirking easily, as she wanted to destroy the blonde, and for everyone to question her.

Sam complained "That is the most disgusting thing I have ever heard in my life. Why would you do that Bridgette?"

The surfer gave Blaineley the angry eyes, as she tried not to lose her cool "Blaineley, you are doing too much. You do not know what you are talking about"

The older woman flipped her hair as she looked at her prey "You know Bridgette, I know EXACTLY what I am talking about. I also know that you cut your mom out of your life for a while when Geoff said that she was a better lay than you. You know that your husband recorded the session right?"

"Shut the hell up Blaineley. You are so cocked up" the party boy threw out, as he defended his wife.

"I do not do coke, but you and your "Queen of Snow" should not sniff it in the washrooms, when you are mic'd. You both need to get out of the drugs, but you are both trailer trash, so it makes sense. You two ARE to blame for all of your brothers going off the haywire, with giving them bad drugs"

Mike complained in his confessional "Blaineley is really dirty; really disrespectful. I cannot for the life of me understand why someone feels good of making a living off of other's pain, secrets, and anguish"

Geoff got up and grabbed his wife's hand; forcing her up as well "Forget this. I do not need this...furball making our situation worse. We are leaving" as the couple left, with Bridgette following, but not entirely by choice.


Dakota and LeShawna switched, as the latter entered the room and the former left.

"LeShawna, Harold paid a visit to me a few days ago, and explained the relationship between your family and him, and his family and yours. Since he thinks this is an issue in your relationship, I want to hear from you" wanting to get straight to the point.

She greeted "Nice to see you as well Josh. My parents always wanted me to be with someone who is tough, strong, black, and someone who is not about the drama. Harold is the complete opposite of everything that they stand for. They were a bit tough on him when they met, and he got really defensive. The more and more my family and Harold interacted, the more tense things got. It is really such a shame".

Josh took some notes down, and came to an observation "You know, you and Harold were kissing in TDI, and then right before TDA, you break up with him for...not really any reason at all. You have said in later episodes on the show that you still have a crush on him, but then you would flirt with other guys. I want to hear the full story. Did your family have to do with it?"

"I DID have a reason to break up with Harold; it was too spontaneous. A part of me did know that my family was not going to approve, so that was one of the reasons why. In TDA, our relationship became extremely confusing. We still slept together, we still dated one another, as we flirted with other people. We were single, but...we were both possessive of one another, and many saw us as a couple."

He looked at her and nodded his head "You should have known that being Friends with Benefits NEVER work out that way. It always ends up badly, or they get together. There is no such thing as Friends with Benefits, because there will be feelings involved".

She nodded her head in agreement; he acts like she did not know that "I know that now. After we were both early outs in TDWT, we realized that we cannot go on like this, so we went out. He THEN met my family, and things popped off. I remember when Harold got sarcastic with my mother, and she almost best him up on the spot. There has been many almost physical fights, and many verbal spats"

"So, what is your relationship with his family?"

"I have very little respect for a lot of them. One of them teamed up with Heather to get him to sleep with her and to break up with me. They make a lot of rude comments, but I refuse to engage with them. I am barely over there, but I am sure that they are the ones that sell a good amount of negative stories about me. I do not like the way they treat Harold either. It is like they remind me of Duncan".

Josh explained to her, as he does not really think she gets what he is trying to say "You know, it is almost like you will do anything to make your parents and your neighborhood proud. I know that you have broken up with him a few times because of this, and even kicked him out of your family dinners as well. You cannot abuse his feelings like this because of your parents. They are not in your relationship, and it is clear that you are really happy. Is this something about the "street-cred" being tarnished?"

She was insulted that he would accuse her of what he is accusing her of "I do not care about being tough, and having street-cred...anymore. I have grown up needing to protect myself, and to be the baddest bitch out there. I feel so...helpless with my parents and Harold. I never imagined myself at this point. I do not know why I am so helpless".

"You are not used to being at a crossroads. I think you need to show Harold that no one; not even your family is going to ruin you two. You two really need to separate yourselves and your relationship with one another, from your family"


Josh decided to take everyone to a restaurant for a celebration, and Geoff decided to talk to him "Hey Josh".

"What do you want?"

The young man tried to easily get into the topic "I think that...for all of our therapy, and the entire process...that it would be best if your wife does not stay with us."

Josh had to turn to Geoff "Listen. I watched TDWT, and she told me of all the crap you and Bridgette did to my wife behind the scenes, but that was 7 years ago. I want her to stay to help me with the mess that are you 5 couples, since you all are not going to be honest all the way. It is final Geoff"

Everyone else were ordering their food. The waitress bent over between Duncan and Mike, revealing her cleavage "And what can I do for you men" hissing seductively. Zoey and Courtney glared at the girl, as Duncan looked at the woman's cleavage, as he bit his bottom lick "How about some nice tenderloin, with the tastiest Barbeque sauce".

Mike mumbled, as he tried not to look "How about a hamburger". Courtney glared at her boyfriend's shameless flirting, with LeShawna patting her back to calm her down.

Dakota decided to speak "I would like to speak. What I would like to say is that this last 11 days have taught Sam and I a lot. I have learned that a lot of people here are not what I thought they were initially" clearly throwing that at Geoff and Bridgette "But I think what Sam and I need to work on better is to compromise and to show one another more affection; to appreciate one another. Thank you all, and I hope that these last 10 days are as eye opening" as they all tapped their glasses together.

Mike decided that he should speak next "Well, thanks to some circumstances, certain things came out and Zoey and I are not in the best place right now. I have learned that I need to be more honest with her, and it was nice to reunite with Sam and Dakota".

Everyone went back to their own conversations again "It feels so nice to not be the ones everyone is watching awkwardly anymore" vented Sam.

"Now that is Courtney, and Duncan, and Mike and I, but while we have not had problems for a bit, the formers were suffering through a bunch of things. They have been tense for almost a week, and he told me that he is one foot outside of the door. He is looking for another opportunity to help him succeed in life, and he is doing that by the ladies" the readhead whispered to Dakota and Sam, which Courtney heard.

"So I am trying to wait for dinner, and I am hearing that tramp Zoey saying that Duncan is using me, and that he is planning on dumping me because I was not giving him what he wants. And she said that he told her that himself. I do not know what to do with this information" the CIT confessed.

Zoey went to explain "After Harold exposed Mike of having Anne Maria's child, and I left the home for 12 hours, Duncan followed me, and he told me a lot. We talked about his...rape in prison, and how at this point in his relationship, he is using Courtney to get him out of his legal stuff. She is going back to her TDA ways, and he also told me that he is already trying to get with other girls because of this. Nothing has changed between them, and they are SO much worse than you thought.

"I do not know what was the flirting about. That was so awkward to watch, especially with the waitress trying to put her cleavage in their faces" the fame monger complained.

Blaineley wanted to stir the pot again, so she brought up the tense conversation "So, LeShawna. Did your girlfriend Anne Maria serve Mike and Zoey yet?" smirking easily.

Bridgette grunted "For holy fuck, just for once stop trying to cause drama. Are you that unhappy with your life?".

The large and in charge woman explained "Well, she did speak to me, and Lightning told her not to do it yet, and after they met with a lawyer today, they are going to file tomorrow or the day after. Harold and I had to be honest, and it was disgusting to look at them every day and to see them put up this front, when we knew the truth".

Zoey was so sick of discussing all of this "You know what LeShawna, you are not a hero. You are trying to make it seem like you did this heroic act, but you and your boyfriend did it out of spite, and to hurt us. That is almost just as bad. You are not a hero, and my opinion on you two has not changed"

"You know what Zoey, you knew that she was pregnant, but you told him to put it away, but what you DID NOT know was that it was born. I get it; you were in a crappy situation, but you did this, and you came for me. Suck it up, and grow up".

The waitress (who is now showing more cleavage through her shirt) sways back towards them, as she brought them their food "Here you all go. I hope you all enjoy" placing the food in front of each of them. She went in between Courtney and Duncan, and pushed the CIT with her waist, as she placed the food in front of the criminal; her breasts rubbing against his arm "I made sure the tenderloin is extremely well done".

Goosebumps and arousal arises in Duncan, as everyone was disgusted when they watched the scene play in front of them "Mmph, I am about to have a mouth orgasm from this. Or maybe more. Here is a yummy tip" he flirted as he went in his pocket, and shoved $150 in her cleavage; grinning.

The waitress giggled, as she wrote down her phone number, and accidentally on purpose dropped it in the floor. She bent down to grab the sheet, and slid her hands up his leg. Courtney (or anyone) could not believe the sight they were seeing, and the Latina was trying her hardest not to lose it and making a scene. But when she saw the waitress grab his crotch, and her boyfriend growl at it, she had enough.

"I cannot BELIEVE this trash" as she got up, and threw the waitress on the wall aggressively before rushing to the hallways leading to the washroom. She was on the burst of tears, as she heard footsteps behind her, which were LeShawna's and Bridgette's.

Duncan knew he went a bit too far with his harmless flirting, so he ran after her, seeing the three girls at the washroom. Before he even had the chance, she yelled at him "HOW DARE YOU embarass me like that, you SLUT" as she was being held back by the two girls.

"It was harmless flirting Courtney, but I am..." but suddenly felt a leg kick his crotch. He held his jewels before complaining "You know...THAT IS IT. Can't you LISTEN for once in your fucking life?"

She tried to move closer to him, but Bridgette and LeShawna refused to let that "YOU NEVER listen to anyone. I TELL YOU to NOT act like a crammed fool all the time, but you CONTINUE to embarass me. When I need to talk to someone, you are NEVER there, as you are probably FUCKING CHICKS LIKE THAT WAITRESS. WHY do you CONSTANTLY EMBARASS ME?"

Bridgette tried to console her "Courtney, you need to calm down"

Leshawna talks in her confessional "I was shocked with how mad Courtney was. She usually tries to keep her composure, but she did not hold back this time. I do not know if it was because alcohol is in her system, but it was crazy. We are seeing TDA Duncney again"

He started yelling "YOU are SUCH AN UPTIGHT BITCH. Can you BLAME ME for ever CHEATING ON YOU? LOOK AT YOU" as she tried to swing her arms at him, but LeShawna and Bridgette were not having it.

The CIT started panicking when she heard what he said "OH MY GOSH. OH MY GOODNESS. YOU MOTHER FUCKER" as she tried to lunge at him again, but she was held back, but she continued to put up a fight "You are the most DISRESPECTFUL, HEINOUS, VULGAR GUTTER TRASH I have EVER met. You will NEVER be more than the sexual bitch that was passed around by every man in juvie and jail, because you are a WANABEE. You will be LUCKY if I do not send your USED UP ASS to prison" as she grabbed his ear piercing and yanked it.

His face started turning red as he slapped her hand from his face "You are a LUNATIC CUNT-NEY. Your child is never with you because I RAISE HIM FOR YOU. You are as bad of a parent as the person you fathered him with. Speaking of Scott, WHY don't you FUCK HIM. You sure do brag about it enough. Fuck you" before he walked off.

She yelled as he walked off "I WILL. Scott is BETTER than YOU WILL EVER BE. He is the gentleman that YOU will NEVER be". When he was out of sight, she started crying in Leshawna and Bridgette's arm. "Why did things have to be SO HARD for me?"

LeShawna was not really close to Courtney, but she did feel a bit bad for her "I know you love Duncan honey. Mine and Harold's relationship is actually very similar, and I can tell that despite the flirting, he loves you. You both need to regroup and speak with a mediator"

Bridgette agreed "She is right. It is not healthy for either of you to go on like this, and say stuff about how the ex is better, and why that person cheated. You two need to figure out for the final time if you are meant for one another".


Anne Maria was waiting in the police car, as she clarified "So when they come back, you give Mike the child support payments, and I stay here?"

"Yes. It is best for the plantiff and the defendant to not interact when the papers are being filed. We got all the info to confirm that Mike IS the father. We just have to wait until he gets back home" the police officer confirmed.

She went onto mumble "Ugh, Lightning better not have some bitch up in my house while I am doing this. I think I might sign on this damn show myself. LeShawna told me that Josh is weirdly effective".

The 2 cars were driving in the parking lot from the restaurant, and they all felt a way when they saw the police car in front of their house. "Ugh, Duncan probably did another crime that no one knew about" the CIT complained in the car. Zoey and Mike were in the car in them, and they felt a bit nervous.

"Or MAYBE the police finally got the warrant that I filed on Geoff and Bridgette this afternoon about having drugs in this house" which could only have come from Blaineley.

The cop came out of the car, and went to a car "Is Michael Smith in this car?", with Harold pointing to the next car "He is in there. OHHH, this must mean that you are giving him child support papers"

Zoey and Mike got more nervous as the cop went to walk to their car, and knocked on the window. It was raised down, and Mike asked "What would you like sir?"

"Are you Michael Lorenzo Smith?"

"Yes"

He gave the young man some papers, as he told him "You have been served child support papers from Anne Maria Angelina Sorrentino. You must pay the amount of child support that is obtained in the letter per month, and the judge granted her request. The best of luck" as he left a shocked Mike.


Author's Note

Well, we are officially halfway through this review. If you did not catch the hint I left at the end, there will be another season, and Anne Maria and Lightning will be on it. Like I said before, the drama is NOWHERE close to being finished. How do you feel about Blaineley appearing on the show? Who do you think is going to break up? Review.
