'Teen Mom OG’ Recap: Ryan Edwards Returns From Rehab, Then Gets Arrested

The original moms are back! Shortly after leaving rehab, Ryan Edwards gets arrested, leaving Maci Bookout to tell Bentley the bad news during the Monday, June 10, Teen Mom OG premiere. And it’s not just Maci who’s affected — Mackenzie Standifer seems understandably shaken by the news, too. The new season kicks off with Ryan home from rehab and wanting to talk to Maci to make amends. But Maci was still mad about the impact his behavior had on Bentley and the fact that he’d threatened to kill her husband, Taylor McKinney; besides, she still had a protective order out against him. Ryan and Mackenzie went out to dinner and discussed the situation, and Ryan admitted that he just wanted to make amends with Maci as part of his 12-step program. When he asked Mackenzie if there was anything more he could do for her, she revealed that she was worried he’d relapse. “Ryan, I don’t want to hear words anymore,” she said. “I just don’t want these 90 days to have been a waste. Like, if you had to go away for that long and not be here, I would like for it to, at least, mean something. I can’t worry about things I can’t change, but it still creeps in there.” But soon enough, Ryan was arrested again, forcing Maci to deliver the bad news to Bentley, who was disappointed — and he wasn’t the only one. “He’s been arrested three times, and every single time he’s been arrested, I’ve been there,” Mackenzie said while out to dinner with a friend. “There’s a part of me that’s angry, you know? I didn’t sign up to be a single mother.” When producer Kiki asked Mackenzie to explain the possession of heroin charge that Ryan faced, she got up and left the room, refusing to talk. After Ryan’s court date, they found out that Ryan would face 90 days in jail as part of a plea deal, further frustrating his family. “To be honest with you, I don’t have a damn thing I want to say to him,” Maci said.

Back Together

Pregnant Catelynn Lowell and husband Tyler Baltierra decided to move back in together after their separation. They both felt better after having space from each other, and Catelynn and Nova finally moved into their new house that Tyler had been renovating. For Catelynn, the most important thing was that Tyler knew he didn’t need to be her caretaker anymore; she felt a lot more confident after finding out she could be on her own and survive.

“I could do this on my own,” she said. “If you were to leave, I could be a mom and be a badass mom and not even give a s--t. I want you forever, but I don’t need you.”

As they worked together to get Nova in a routine with all three of them in the same house before the baby arrived, Tyler also geared up to see his dad and sister in Texas, where they were going through rehab. When Tyler arrived, he found out that Butch was no longer living in a sober living facility and that he was smoking marijuana again. Butch said it helped him stay calm, but Tyler was worried that it would be a slippery slope into other drugs.

“Do I think any recovering addict should be using anything? No,” Tyler told Catelynn when he got home. “I’m not his sponsor. My responsibility is not to make sure he’s sober, it’s just to love and support him.”

Drama in the Fam

Although it seemed like they might get back together last season, Cheyenne Floyd and Cory Wharton decided to keep things platonic, but their relationship shifted once again when Cory began dating Taylor Selfridge, who he met on Ex On The Beach. Cheyenne didn’t like her, though, and didn’t want her around their daughter, Ryder.

Ultimately, Cory decided that he could agree Taylor wouldn’t spend time with Ryder until their relationship got more serious, but that happened pretty fast. He and Taylor went on a trip to Mexico, and he was set to ask her to be his girlfriend while they were away.

Cheyenne wasn’t happy about how public Cory was making his new relationship on social media — or that he didn’t rush home when he found out their daughter, Ryder, was in the hospital after suffering complications from the flu because of her genetic disorder. 

But Cory maintained that he’d gotten home as quickly as he could, and he was annoyed that Cheyenne had posted a photo of her and Ryder in the hospital, opening him up to negative feedback from fans about him not being there. 

“He’s never gonna understand if he doesn’t see the times where she is screaming like she’s gonna die,” Cheyenne said. “At the end of the day, he wasn’t there. He missed the process, so in my mind, he still doesn’t understand that his child has a rare disease.”

Amber Opens Up About Struggles

Amber Portwood was still frustrated about what people said about her online, especially since she’d been battling postpartum depression. At the same time, Amber was having drama with Jenelle Evans. After Amber called out David Eason online, Jenelle took the opportunity to do the same to Amber — and that provoked her to go live on Instagram to cuss her out, which she seemed to regret right away.

In order to explain herself, Amber flew out to L.A. to be on Kailyn Lowry’s "Coffee Convos" podcast and set the record straight.

“I wasn’t proud of how I responded,” Amber admitted. “It took me back about 10 years. … I don’t want people to think that’s me today. But sometimes, it’s hard not to go back to those roots when people are saying some pretty stupid, ignorant, disgusting things.” 

Amber was also still working on her depression and she decided to let the MTV cameras come with her to her appointment with her psychiatrist, hoping that it would help people who are going through the same thing. 

“I’ll do anything to be normal,” Amber told her doctor tearfully. “It’s like a war with my f--king brain. I think what bothers me is I just want someone to tell me there’s an answer.” 

Teen Mom OG airs on MTV Mondays at 9 p.m. ET.
