Leah's And Chelsea's Exes Make Them Want To Tear Their Hair Out!

As Season 5 continues not to end (maybe producers decided they might as well just keep filming until anything interesting happened?), we pick up more or less where we left off last week. Corey has received the legal filing from Leah and he's not happy; unfortunately for her, he has a new cudgel to use against her: he heard from someone at Ali's physical therapist that Leah has missed a couple of sessions, and that if she misses any more, they're going to kick Ali out of her program. I...tend to doubt any medical professional would actually do this to a child who is one of like forty people on earth to have ever had her particular strain of muscular dystrophy, but then again, I don't know from West Virginia. Naturally, this turns into a contest over which of Ali's biological parents is less righteous: the one who's flaking on her appointments, or the one who isn't basically harassing his insurance company. Also, Leah cut her hair into a terrible asymmetrical bob that has turned her head into a rectangle. I was never a fan of her My Little Pony hair, but this is definitely worse.

Chelsea's post-esthetician-license-acquisition storyline of triumph continues: when Adam actually manages to show up for Aubree's t-ball game (late), she gets her first in-person eyeful of Jessica, whom she describes as "his porn-star girlfriend," and...she is. Chelsea doesn't seem to have any direct contact with either Adam or Jessica, but she has all the fun of judging Jessica behind her back, so since all of us are doing that too, this may be the first episode in which I feel a genuine kinship with Chelsea, and when she and Chelsey Grace place a bet on how long it'll take before Jessica is pregnant, I almost feel like we could hang out. But seriously...Jessica is awful. She apparently spends the entire t-ball game texting and sucking her teeth. Did you ever see She's Having A Baby? You know the part where the Alec Baldwin character comes back to Chicago to visit Jake and Kristy with the trashy girlfriend who licks the whole side of Jake's glass to show what she does in music videos? Jessica is that.

Kailyn takes the disappointment of not being able to bring Isaac on a family vacation due to Jo's legal visitation rights like an adult -- even recognizing all the times she's circumvented his weekends with Isaac and acknowledging that Jo is not out of line to refuse to go along with her request this time. And in the middle of about seventy different fights with Nathan and Barb, Jenelle's one and only correct position is that even though Nathan wants to fight Barb for full custody of Jace, Jenelle doesn't think they need to add his full-time care to their already packed schedule of screaming at each other and ruining another child who hasn't even been born yet.

How closely does the episode follow the typical format? Let's break it down!
