Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up S2 E1 RECAP

Gypsy Rose Life After Lockup is back, and y'all, I just saw the first episode and it was so different than what I was expecting. Actually, I don't really even know what I was expecting, but I definitely wasn't expecting that season one was all about Ryan and Gypsy. This season is going to be all about Keen and Gypsy. And I don't know if I'm just naive or maybe

I wish that she had gotten through this divorce process before this happened, because this isn't a you know, not a good look for me, It's not a good look for her.

Does he not realize that he also had a big part in her getting pregnant? Like, what do you mean you wish she would have waited until after her divorce was finalized?

What the fuck?

They're on the bed together and Gipsy yet again hints at wanting to get married, and it gets very awkward because she looks like Ken, and then Ken looks at her, and then she looks like Ken, and then Ken looks away, and she's looking for validation, for confirmation that yeah, we're gonna get married soon, but he does not validate that at all.

I have no idea what we're gonna do for marriage or anything like that, like.

This was not.

Then Gypsy talks about how apparently her reputation has gotten even worse since getting pregnant, and some of the haters are petitioning for her to get her tubes tied because they don't think she's going to be a fit mother because of what her mom did to her and what she did to her mom, blah blah blah, And Gypsey says, well, someone's gonna have to break the cycle, and it's gonna be me.

I'm gonna high right now. Can't bring me down.

Then they're on their way to the ultrasound appointment. Ken's driving and Gypsy's on her phone reading all the hate comments and she reads it out loud, and Ken's like, stop reading the comments, and she's like.

You do it too, okay, Kean, I'm in hi right now. You can't bring me down. I'm gonna read all these comments.

And he's like, okay, fine, I'm guilty too. So it's clear to me that they both are glued to their phones reading all the comments.

If I didn't trust you show so much, let's say that behavior is shady.

They get to their ultrasound appointment. We do not get to go inside with them, but once they're done and they come out, they share the ultrasound pictures with us. Then we see content creators on TikTok talking about Gypsy and her pregnancy, and I think it's fair to say that the majority of the public, they're not so happy about the pregnancy. They are worried and they are very, very skeptical. The next scene, we have Daddy jip Rod at his house and he talks about how Gypsy got

She was like, guess lock it, I'm pregnant.

So rod Is It's like, yeah, I wish it didn't happen. I wish she didn't get pregnant right away. She really should have taken the time. But the baby's coming, it's here. It is what it is. When her sister Mia found out that Gypsy was pregnant. She cried because she was so disappointed. Mia actually said those words, I was so disappointed in the news. That couldn't have been easy for Mia to admit in front of the cameras, knowing that she might get some backlash for it. But it was

Just because you're pregnant doesn't mean you need to get married.

And so Mia seems very adamant about that. I think Mia is very smart and she's very insightful. I like her. I like her a lot. Honestly, I think if it were up to Gypsy, they would have gotten married yesterday. I definitely think it's Ken who doesn't want to get married and he's holding out, and honestly, it's for the best, it really is. They should not be getting married Ken I don't even know if he likes her. Now it's Gypsy's baby shower, and I remember seeing this on social media.

Like, well, I love therapy. We don't have to wait until we have a problem. Like I think it's really healthy.

And I totally agree. It's like getting your annual physical or health checkups. You don't wait until something wrong happens to get checked. You just keep going and keep making sure everything is fine. So they meet with their therapist and I love how the therapist was trying so hard. She was acting like she had no idea who they were. She was like, so, what's your story. How'd you guys meet?

Oh?

Okay, So they go through their history of how they met. Ken saw a documentary, then he wrote to Gypsy a letter of compassion. Then they started writing back and forth. They fell in love. The rest is history. Oh no, it's not. Because he broke up with her, and then she thought she lost the love of her life, got with Ryan, then got back with Ken, and now here they are. Gypsy is very, very insecure. She's so afraid that Ken is going to leave her again. He's done

I think Ken has a really hard time with social media and us being online, and he's.

Like, really, because I think you have a way harder time and it affects you way more. So they're going back and forth about how they're both on social media so much and it's affecting them. Blah blah blah. I think I totally disagreeably.

You just said I think that I have a harder time. I think that you have a harder time with it. Your nose is always in your phone, scrolling through comments, comments, comments, I don't even do that anymore.

And while they were talking or arguing, his body language was so closed off, his arms were crossed, and his body was just a little leaning away from Gypsy, whereas Gypsy just seemed a lot more open. Then they talk about a very common argument that they get into, which

When he broke up with me, the belief that I had was that he left because the pressure of being with me as a public figure was too much. So I am trying to protect him in a way that it doesn't become overwhelming and make him want to leave. And I don't want him to have resentment towards me for like how fast everything moved.

Now, it's very, very very clear that she loves him so much more than he loves her. I don't even know if he loves her. I finished this episode thinking, like, does he even like her? She really really loves Ken way more than she ever ever loved Ryan. Even know she loved Ryan. It's so obvious that Ryan was her rebound and she got under Ryan to get over Kean. And the second Keyn came back peaking around the corner jip gipsy, she dropped Ryan like a hot potato, and

And then he has that he's Pixie's dad.

Oh. I just love that so much because I'm a dog mom and I love when a dog parent loves her for a child. I don't know why, but when I go on social media and I see sad videos of humans or children, I get sad, of course, but I don't cry. But when I see a sad dog video, I ball like, literally I'm hyperventilating. I have snot coming out of my nose? Why is that? I just love dog so much? So when Gypsy ditched Ryan and Pixie, my heart broke for Pixie. I mean, not so much Ryan,

But Pixie, Pixie, the poor little dog.

I might have a soft spot for Pixie because she reminds me so much of my dog Coco, who's also black and white and also the same size, and also a diva, because let's be real, Pixie kind of looks like a diva, very lovable, very stubborn, very picky eater. But for some reason, she will eat Sunday's dog food without skipping a beat. I'm not even exaggerating. I have two dogs and they both gobble this up as if I'm giving them treats. And the best part is it's

I can't help it.

Every single time I see Ryan and Pixie together, my heart breaks a little. I mean, it's so heartwarming, especially considering the fact that Ryan didn't even want a dog and Gypsy wanted the dog and pushed them to get the dog, and then she just left them. Honestly, not only does break my heart, but it kind of pisses me off a little bit. Back to the episode, Ken and Gypsy are at his new apartment that he kind

I can go back and redo my whole move all over again. I would have changed a lot, but the pregnancy kind of fast forwarded things and she kind of wanted me down here asap. So I just said, okay, I took all my savings and just moved down here.

So Ken's in the kitchen cooking for Gypsy. Gypsy's looking at houses online because they want to move in and get settled into a house in time for the baby. I definitely want a carpet in the nursery, and Ken makes his face a whole that's gonna be a lot of vacuuming.

Definitely put a carpet in the nursery.

It's gonna be a lot of vacuuming.

Bro, There's going to be a lot of work for you to do, for you and Gypsy to do when a baby comes. Okay, it's not just about the vacuuming. It just drove me freaking crazy because he was making these little comments, complaining about every little thing Gypsy talks about how her home plan during her parole is listed at her parents' house and that happened while she was

It's like two thousand square feet all at I don't know.

Kean, can you keep up with all of that?

Kian?

Now, Ken and Gypsy look at some houses in person. Then they get back to his apartment and he's complaining again, Complain, complain, complain, Oh, I've already put like seven thousand miles on my jeep from traveling to see Gypsy and listen some of his complaints, like I get you're in a bad mood and you're stressed, and maybe you complain here and there, but he complains a lot. And then we learn he rarely stays with Gypsy at her place because he doesn't like her full

So you're under a manastory evacuation.

Yeah, okay, So where are you going nowhere?

I'm staying here, I know, I know, all right?

So what what the fuck? Come again? Bitch? He's so shady, he's weird. He's weird. I don't trust that mother trucker. Christy's laying in bed. She's really sick with something. She's lost her voice. She looks so bad, Like she can't even get up from the couch. And I guess they have to stack the chairs that are out in the lawn so that they don't blow all over the place.

And Gypsy's like, Dan, do you have any like male friends? I could pick the chairs up.

I don't know, bitch, can you pick them up? I mean, oh, I forgot she's pregnant. I'm assuming that the chairs are like plastic chairs.

I don't know.

Maybe I'm making assumptions. I understand pregnant women can't like heavy lift, so maybe I'm just I should just shut up. The hurricane's over. Fortunately everyone is okay, And at this point, Gypsy's been living at her parents' house for six months. And there's another Ryan TikTok video. I love how the show just keeps on reposting his videos from TikTok. I want to know does he get paid for that? I just wanted to say a couple of things.

Guys, be honest.

I'm probably not gonna bash Gypsy.

You know, I've that's my wife.

Guess what. Kean got approved for the house and he can move in starting October first. He's so excited for his dog Parker to get a yard and run around. I can so relate to that, because right now that's my dream. I want to buy a house for my dog so that they can have their own backyard. Gypsy years from her lawyer and her divorce is going to be finalized very soon. She's super happy and hopes that this is going to give Ryan the closure that he needs to move on.

And maybe Ken, well propose. Wink wink, nudge nudge Ken.

Now we're going to get into the dinner scene, which was mind blowing. Mind blowing. Okay, so it's their seven year anniversary. He takes her out to this very nice Italian restaurant. On their way to the restaurant, he's like, come on, baby, get excited. It's date night.

Whoa, Well, baby, get excited, it's date night.

WHOA?

I can't. And I did not realize until I saw it on TikTok that Keen was mocking Ryan because Ryan said that to Gypsy when he was trying to get Gypsy all excited.

He looked really nice.

Last night.

Well this is a different one, is it.

I like it.

I'm tired.

Huh, I'm so tired. Well, snap out of it.

Baby's date night?

Whoa?

I didn't realized.

I don't like that sound like when I said it's date night, date night with my husband. Okay, so they finally get to the restaurant. It's the dinner scene. Now, let me just say, up until the scene, all of Kean's little quirks and little side comments and complaints it bothered me, but not so much, not so much to the point where I fucking him. But after watching this dinner scene, oh, every little complaint, every little quirt, became a big deal. It became a red effing flag because

You don't like seafood.

And guess what Gypsy does not like seafood, but keen our lovely de delicious kin he loves seafood. So they're seated at their table. The server comes to get their order, and Kean orders for the bost of them. I really wish we were able to see the conversation they had right before the way there came. So basically, Kean orders the to puss as an appetizer, and then for the entree, he orders a blue crab salad that they're gonna split for your partner to not like seafood, and you order

And she goes, ummm no, I'm really scared of octopus. I'm a hi right now. Can't bring me down.

I know, I'll stop doing that. I'll stop doing that. But she basically tells him I am so afraid of octopus. They're like the second things I'm most afraid of after spiders. And he's like, oh, well, you're still gonna try it and she's like no, and he's like, yeah, you are okay. Also, when he was like are you gonna have some? Did he expect to just eat it by himself? Like? Why did he not ask her when the server came like is there anything you want? Are you okay with sharing

You're just gonna try it because try that part of you transitioning is trying things he never tried before.

I was also very surprised by how soft spoken Gypsy was around Ken. She does not speak up. She is totally different around Ken than how she was with Ryan. She was not afraid to say no to Ryan, she was not afraid to give Ryan a piece of her mind. But around Ken, she's so quiet and she's so like proper and perfect, and to me, it kind of almost felt like she was on eggshells or she was on her best behavior. She didn't want to piss him off. She didn't want to argue, or she just wanted to

I'm not gonna hear about your fears.

Just you're just gonna try it.

But I want you to try the octopus because you don't know until you know.

Oh and by the way, I do not agree with that sentiment, okay, because I do not have to eat pounani to know that. I don't like to eat poonnai.

Okay.

So Ken cuts a little piece of the octopus, puts it on her plate, and Gypsy does not want to eat it, but she's just trying to smile through the pain. She puts it in her map and she's trying to chew choo choo choo, and she's like, oh, I can't, I can't, I can't eat this. She's about to spit it out. Ken's like, no, don't spit it out. You just have to swallow it. Don't be ridiculous, Gypsy, just swallow it. And she does. Okay, sorry, combat.

It's brilliant.

Just swallow it.

Just swallow it.

Kill me, ridiculous, okay.

Now, oh God kill me.

What if that were Ryan, she would have spat that octopus out and hit him in the face. What really, really, really pissed me off. Is for a second, I forgot that she was pregnant. You're making your pregnant mother of your child eat seafood that she does not even want to eat, and that she does not even like. You're gonna make her eat it, and when she doesn't want to eat it, you're gonna shame her and make her

Like, no, no, no, I'm good, I'm good.

She tries to be polite, very good.

She doesn't love it.

I have a fear of octopuses. So he's just like eating.

Well tried, and she says, oh, I'm just I'm just scared of octopus is. So then the crab salad comes out. Gipsy's like, I don't want any, and he's like, just try a little bit, and she's like no, and he's like, you're gonna try it, and then he puts them on a plate and gives it to her and she's like, okay, I'll try some and she puts it on her fork and then Ken eats it first and he's like, oh, I don't think you're gonna like this, and she goes, okay, yeah,

What I want to try a little bit? No, yes you will, don't try a little bit. I don't think you're gonna like it.

I probably won't.

You are so disappointed.

I can't And then Gypsy just laughs it off. She smiles, but you can tell this is really bothering her. Her feelings are hurt. So the server comes back to check in on everything and he's like, did you enjoy the salad? And she goes, yes, thank you, And then Kean calls her out and says, oh, she's lying, she didn't even try it. What the fuck.

She's lying. She didn't even try it because she's afraid I liked it. She's just afraid to try it.

Thank God. The server was so damn nice. He's like, oh, I can bring something out. Do you want me to bring out like a creamy Italian salad or something, and just he goes, oh, no, no, no, I'm totally fine. I'm just being picky because I'm pregnant. And again the server is so kind. He's like, by the way, can we find that server and give him a big fat tip? He was so nice and handled the whole entire situation

I'm thinking, because.

I'm right nice, can reason you want?

Yes, you can't.

I think the server totally sniffed out the douche baggery from Ken, especially as the server was collecting the plates. Yeah, and decided it would be so funny to tell the server I just wanted to publicly shame her. Ken, are you okay? What the fuck is wrong with you? And then the server goes public shaming rarely works, and then he walks away.

I just wanted to shame her a little bit, that's all.

Apparently Gipsy again smiles it off. But you can tell she's about to bust out crying. You can just you know that feeling when you're so overwhelmed with emotions, you know you're about to cry. You're telling your body don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, but you're about to burst at any moment. That's what Gypsy's doing right now. So she looks around, she's like clenching her lips, and she's like, where's.

The bathroom and when and where the bathroom is?

And Ken goes, oh, it's over there in the back. And then she goes, okay, I gotta go to the bathroom, and she leaves the table, and then we hear her crying in the stall. After she's done crying, she comes back to the table. She acts like everything's fine. She doesn't even tell him that she was crying. She doesn't

Now.

I don't know if he didn't know or if he knew and he purposely was not asking her. He never asked her what was wrong. It was so weird. There was just so much tension, and then he just he would just stare at her and then he would just like go like this, like I don't know, was he nervous, he was just shaking, like just staring at her. You know, I can't live there.

You can't live there, but you can still make that house your home. Just we'll figure that out together.

Yep.

Okay, freaking hate him. I hate him so much so the dinner scene ends and we finally get Ryan.

Whoa team Ryan.

Poor Ryan. He's sitting in his apartment all alone with Pixie. I freaking love that dog. He finally took down the sign that said Ryan and Gypsy. I don't know how long he had that sign on, but it burned through and left a mark on the wall. He's just not ready to completely get rid of all of Gypsy's things yet, but I'm like, Brah, you need to. It's been six months. And then we see Picksy.

Pixy is so adorable.

Like I said, I freaking I just love that. It's just so cute, and I feel so bad that she was abandoned by her mother. I don't know why, but I just feel so bad for Ryan and Pixie. It actually makes me really mad, Like I'm it literally pisss me off to know that Gypsy just fucking dipped after she forced Ryan to get the dog that he didn't even want. Now, of course, Brian loves Pixie, and I'm so glad. It's so sweet to see how much he loves her. But still it's so effed up. Anyway, Ryan

Bought this bat.

Always bought bats anytime I go to a stadium or anything like that.

I love these bands.

I wish I could hit somebody with this bat, especially for the first episode.

Just joking, just a joke.
