Welcome back to Another life After Locker Recap, Season five, episode six. I think who knows who cares. The episode title is called Deleted but not Forgotten, And y'all, this was a crazy episode. So many things happened. It was so good I would rate it like a nine out of ten. I don't even know who to begin with. I want to talk about Taylor and Chance so freaking bad, but I'm gonna save them for last, So let's start with Justine and Michael. Oh, talking about them is gonna
piss me off. So everybody gathers at Michael's mother's house, his sister, sister in law, Justine's mom, and the seventy two kids. They're all having this huge, delicious looking breakfast. Everybody's in good spirits. Justine's looking at the whole entire family getting along and she smiles and she's like, Wow, this is everything I ever wanted, you know, my family and his family and everybody getting together and spending time together. It's just it's just so
nice. Justine goes on to say how she feels bad because Mike's children have already lost him for six years to the prison system, and his two youngest ones never spend any time with him, and now they're gonna feel like she's taking their father away from them again. Well, news flash, Justine, that's cause you are okay, you literally are taking the father away from them. Granted, I know it's ultimately his decision, so the responsibility is really
on him. At the end of the day. All of a sudden, Michael says, this is great and all, but I have an announcement to make. Me and the family are moving to Vegas. Huh, what about your other kids? Like, what about the new baby. I thought the new baby was gonna be born in Rhode Island and we were all gonna be together. And Justine says, I hope you guys can understand that this decision
will give our entire family positive opportunities. You mean you and Michael, And then she goes on to say, but especially for Michael and his music and everything he's been deprived of for a very long time because he was in prison. Listen, Oh, that statement pissed me the off. Listen. I get that you want to start living your life and doing things for yourself after having lost so many years in prison. I get it, Listen, I get it. I do. But then don't have so many effing kids.
Okay, as long as you have kids, In my opinion, I feel like it's your responsibility as a parent to put your kids first. This is why I don't understand why some people have kids. They're not accessories. They're not cute little things that you hope one day will become your best friends. If you choose to have children, then you should prioritize them and their needs. Some of you may not agree, but that's just what I think.
That's my opinion. If you don't agree, then eat my ass. By the way, Michael has two six year olds and I thought they were twins, but they're not. They're siblings because he got two women pregnant the same time. Oh my god. Okay, so one of the six year old asks him, can we come with you? And Michael says, in a perfect world, yes, his other six year old, here's this, and she starts withdrawing and she's crying. No. We're hoping that you guys will
support our decision, Kaliki in a perfect way. Yes, I will talk to you. Mom. What's wrong over hey, beautiful girl? What's another what's a mother? And now here's another thing that pissed me off. Justine goes, what's the matter, what's the matter, what's wrong? Don't ask her? What's wrong? You isn't you know what's wrong? What do you think is wrong? Michael picks up his daughter, who's crying, and he echoes, Justine, what's wrong, baby? What's wrong? Oh? You
guys, my blood start to boil. His sister chimes in and she says, Michael, what do you mean what's wrong? She's obviously upset. She's your kid and you're moving. Thank you. Finally someone with a working brain says something, Someone with common sense. Finally, someone who these idiots should be so effing grateful for, because she's been there for his kids when he couldn't be, which is most of the time, and now it's going to
be all the time. His sister gets emotional and talks about how all the kids crying right now reminds her of when they used to cry while Michael was in prison. Freaking heartbreaking. Justine mom asks them, when you guys made this decision, did you guys base it on what's best on the kid's behalf? Now? Of course they didn't. They were probably like them kids,
It's all about Michael and his rap career. Justine says, well, Michael's going to have to have a conversation with the kids' moms about visitation, and guess what, he hasn't even brought up that conversation to the moms. So why is he acting all heartbroken and upset over this decision when he didn't even talk to their moms about it, I mean, had that conversation with them.
Shit, So you made the decision without even consulting with them. No. His seventeen year old daughter Melody is crying as well, and she talks about how she's going to miss her dad again and all of her other siblings who are moving, and even though she's old enough to where she could move with them, she doesn't want to leave the other kids behind. They can't go, and then they're gonna feel like they're completely left alone. Like what
the freak? These poor kids do not deserve this. I feel so freaking bad to think at any point you would want to move down there. I actually have no idea because Mason, Mason and over are out here too, as I got torn between like a bunch of people that I love, So I don't know which way I'd want to go. Michael comes up with a brilliant plan. Sorry, I'm laughing because it's so funny that he thinks this
is even remotely possible. His plan is that he will fly to Rhode Island once a month to see the kids, and then the kids will fly out to Vegas once a month, so they'll see each other every other week. Okay, yeah, good luck with that. So everyone's crying, they're saying they're goodbyes. Michael's like, I know it's tough now, but I gotta
do this and it's all gonna make sense later. Okay. So, uh, Dumb and Dummer walk out in their matching race car suits to their big bus so that they can head over back to Pennsylvania so that they can start packing and get started on their move to Vegas. Now, it's hilarious how nonchalant they are about this. They're like, I know it's hard, but it's got to be done. Uh no, it doesn't. I do feel bad that I'm moving further away, but it's something that you know has to
be done. Okay. So they're back in Pennsylvania. They're starting to pack up their house. Meanwhile, Michael gets a call from I think his parole officer who wants him to come in. So he drives over there, goes in, comes out, and he says that they weren't able to expedite their transfer because I guess they need approval for him to move from Pennsylvania to Vegas, but there was paperwork that he needed to sign and submit so that the
approval can go through, but he never got it in the mail. Therefore, no sign paper means no transfer. So basically the move has to be on hold because he can't move until he gets that official approval. And now he's got to break the news to Justine. Now he's stressing out. He was like, oh, how could I have forgotten? I knew I should have checked in more. I should have done this, I should have done that. How am I going to break the news to my boss Justine?
So he's like driving around, huffing, stressed out, and then he does a video call with Justine and he tries to break the news, but he just can't because she's so excited. She's like packing the boxes. She's like, oh my god, we're going to sell our new lives without your kids in Vegas, blah blah blah. And he just can't break the news on video call. He's like, all right, I gotta go home and I
gotta break the news in person. Now he's stressing because this is not only going to be a huge inconvenience to I don't know whatever, but it's gonna be a financial burden because the move alone is costing ten thousand dollars. But now on top of that, he has to pay the mortgage on the new house in Vegas plus the rent in Pennsylvania until they can move. So good luck. Now on to Melissa and Louis. Hey, let me just say Louis the biggest surprise for me this season. He turned out to be completely
the opposite of what I had expected him to be. Like initially I thought he'd be just this big player and he was gonna break Melissa's heart and not really get back on the bright track. But he's just been so amazing, Like I think I'm starting to develop a crush on him, So Melissa, you better watch out. Louis headed to the gym to apply for a job. He says in prison he fell in love with working out and exercising that he'd give training tips to the other inmates, and he wants to help people
change their lives through fitness, so he meets with the manager. They say hello, and then the manager says, so, do you have a valid ID? Because I got to do a background check. I do background checks on everybody. Okay, did you hear I do a background check? And Louis goes, oh, okay, Well, just to let you know, I do have a history. I was just released from prison for committing armed robbery and I did ten years, and I was an addict. I went
from pills to heroin. But I've completely changed my life. I'm five years sober and I cannot wait to better myself. Okay, I'm ready to work and be a really good person in society. I don't think the manager was too happy to hear this. He feels like things might start off great, but then we'll quickly decline and blow up into pieces. He also tells Louis, you know, you seem like a great guy, but I don't trust
drugs. I've seen people ten years clean and then go back. I'm like, geez, is this what you really want to tell someone who's trying to turn their lives around? Like talk about a wet, waking blanket, Like I understand he has his own personal experiences that have a teared down his optimism,
but damn I felt bad for Louie in that moment. It must really suck for people who have learned from their mistakes and who have become better people in prison and they want to start their lives over again, but then the system just throws them out and says, good luck. You're probably never gonna find a job with your record. But it's not our problem now, bade, you know. So he gets home from his interview. Melissa has been setting up for the housewarming party, and she's like, Louis, where have
you been? And he's like, at the interview, I think it went well, but I don't think he trusts the whole drug thing. And she goes, oh, so you wasted your whole day again, and he's like, no, it wasn't a waste of time. It was a learning experience. It's a waste of time today. No, nothing is a waste of time. It's always a learning time. You need anything, Yes, we have to get ready. What do you mean do I need anything? Louis went on a job interview, so what's wrong with that? It was a
waste of time, you gotta start somewhere, Melissa. I swear to God, you better stop complaining and cut him some slock or I swear I'm gonna slide into his DMS with a picture of Maya potatas if you know what I'm saying. Melissa's family arrives to the house and one of her sisters looks exactly like her. I was getting confused as to who was who. She's the
tatted version of her. She pulls Donna aside to talk to her, and she basically tells her that she doesn't trust Louie because she doesn't trust addicts. Apparently she had a very bad experience with her ex, who is an addict. He was super clean and then all of a sudden he relapsed and he passed away, I think. And so Donna's mom was like, oh my god, I'm so sorry. But I know Louis like he's trying to better his life, he's so excited for his new beginning. Blah blah blah.
She was like, still don't trust him. I just don't trust Louie as a person. I'll never trust an addict. Okay, what the hell is up with everybody just shitting on Louie. I mean maybe, I don't know. I just feel so bad for the guy. Melissa's dad tells Donna that if Louis breaks Melissa's heart, he's gonna go looking for Louis, and despite being seventy five years old, prison doesn't scare him. Then Donna goes, if Melissa breaks Louie's heart, I won't be looking for her, But don't
turn around because somebody else may be looking for her. Like, what the hell is going on with these threats? So after they threaten each other, they go outside to have a smoke together and then they bond over being Italian and being a family. Now, so I think things are good. I think, how did things go over with my mom and you? Everything's good? Yeah, we should be madved. In three months, it's time for Donna to say goodbye to Louis, and it's very emotional. I have to
admit I did as well. I did tear up a little. It was such a bittersweet moment. I think as annoying as Donna is, she truly truly loves her son. Her son is everything to her and you know it's sad for her to let him go, but she did. Now let's talk about that and Blaine. It's gonna be real quick. It's not that interesting. Lindsey tells her daughter Miley that she proposed to Blaine. Milly's not crazy about it. She feels like her mom deserves better, and also she feels
that it's weird that Blaine didn't propose and she did. And she's like, so you settled, and she's like, I know, Molly, I just want to hurry up and get married before I get locked up again. Later, she talks to Blaine and she shows him her hand and her empty ring finger, and she's like, blind, you see that empty ring finger. That finger's looking a little empty. You see it's just so empty, looking
so sad fx it. She tries to give him many many hints that she wants a freaking ring, and he goes, Lauren, well you deserve the very bus. I cannot just give you any old ride, oh b I don't want to just go get you some little puny ass little ring like you're the best. I don't give you the best. And she says, Blaine, I don't care if it's a two dollar ring. It can look like whatever it can cost whatever. I don't care. I just want a ring. I don't even care. I don't care. It looks like how much
it costs. And Blaine's starting to feel a little pressured and he doesn't like it. He's like a line the all over with all my harm. I'm not gonna give you a crap brain. Let's go and turn to her finger cry to me and get some your finger grain, Blaine. I don't care, I just want action. Wilson's wearing Saucha Rasha, Gobba and Horbo with hab a baby. I'm not having a baby. Hell no, speaking of baby, she hasn't told him that she has an iud in and so there's
no chance for babies. And she feels bad that she hasn't told him. I feel like, who cares, it's your body. You can tell him later when you guys are seriously, like in that conversation where he really really wants to have a baby, and and you guys have that serious conversation, then you can tell him. But until then you don't have to do anything.
Okay, No, let's talk about Chance and Taylor. So they're in the garage making an epoxy table and Taylor goes sala Chance, So are you gonna tell me what happened with Babo, and Chance goes, ugh, oh, yeah, it's fine now, Like I owed him some money, and you know, I don't have a thousand dollars just lying around, so I borrowed some money from Zach to pay Babo and he's never gonna threaten us ever
again. And Taylor goes, kay, is that it? And Chance, being the thoughtful, chivalrous, well meaning man he is, planned a surprise for her after everything he put her through. She's like, oh my god, Chance, he should enough. He covers her eyes and brings her outside, and tada, she opens her eyes to a crusty ass old limo. Taylor's mind immediately goes to how much this cost? And he goes, don't worry, babe, it was free. Okay, well, Ellie's that's within
her budget. Apparently he borrowed it from Zach for the night to try and convince Taylor that they should invest in this limo business. Of course, he has an ulterior motive on top of the limo. He hired a show fur You guys whoever did the subtitles literally wrote show for so they're sitting on top of those crusty ass seeds and they're being driven around. There's a loud, sudden noise and Taylor goes, I think the tire just fell off, and he's like, nah, this is an incredible vehicle, which, by the
way, makes seventy five hundred dollars a week. Did you know that? Don't you think that would be a great investment? Tailor, I don't know about that. Chance, So he takes her to a fine dining restaurant called shug a Burger and they eat burgers for dinner in the trunk. He pops the trunk. I'm surprised it didn't break open, and Taylor's like, this is Chance's last chance to chance it because he's had so many chances and there are no more chances for Chance to chance. You know what I'm chancing.
So a few weeks later, Okay, a producer gets a text message from Taylor saying that she kicked Chance out of the mother effing ouse. Okay, something big must have happened for Taylor to kick him out of the house. Production immediately flew out to the house to see what was going on. So apparently, one night Chance got home from work and demanded he see Taylor's phone.
So then she demanded to see his phone too, and when she went through his phone, there was a text message, just one single text message from an unknown number that said question mark. So she asked about him. She was like, what is this Chance? Why would somebody send you a question mark? And he started to get angry and defensive. Of course he did, and he started gaslighting her and blaming her. It was, oh, you always pick a fight. Oh my god, why are you acting
so shady? Like, why are you doing that? You always want to start something with me? Well, remember, I said, Taylor isn't as dumb as she looks. Well, she's really not, because she took that und number and looked it up in the call log and saw that there were one hundred and seventy one text messages between the two of them just that day. That Chance deleted. Now another production team is with Chance while he's building his empire, and they asked him some questions, and do you want to
know what this crazy mother trucker said happened? He said, Taylor constantly tries to entrap him and catch him in something. So he was convinced that the unknown number was Taylor using a fake number to text him. As some random girl to try to see if he would cheat. I knew that was Taylor using an unknown number, trying to catfish me, trying to get me to cheat on her. So yeah, I entertained it. I started getting these messages and I'm like, man, this is Taylor trying to see if I'm
doing what she's doing being scandalous. So I fed into it. She wants some reason, I'll give reason. First of all, why would you entertain it if you really thought it was Taylor trying to catch you in a lie? Are you dumb? So the producers tell Taylor Chances side of the story, and she's like, oh my god, I didn't do that. Uh if you couldn't tell I'm taking care of four children by myself. Okay, when the hell would she have the time to do all this? Oh?
And you know what else he did? He threw his phone in the toilet whatever he had in there. He really didn't want her to go through. I tried to call that number, and what I found I never expected that ever, But remember, she still has that unknown phone number. So she called it, and guess what, you guys, it was a man who answered a man. A man answered the phone and then hung up, and
then he texted her, who's this Why are you calling me? And Taylor says, she answered, my baby, daddy, I see that you two have been texting, and you know, I just wanted to know what's up, and he goes, well, did you ask him about it? Eventually, Taylor finds out who this guy is and apparently he's the town ho and she tells him, Wow, your conversation must have been real bad if he threw it in the toilet for me not to see it, so you can
have him. And this guy says to her, baby, you know you're not gonna leave him, laughing, crying emoji A. I was not expecting that roast. Oh my god, I'm not gonna lie. I laughed, I screamed. I was like, oh my god, haven't we said that about Taylor this whole entire time? Like why are you not leaving his ass? Like why how many chances are you gonna give a chance? How many chances? And also chance cheating on Taylor with a man was not on my Bengo card, No, siree. Wow, that was not at all what
any of us were expecting. Were we? Well, actually, after that last episode with his ex dealer. You know they got a little close. Mm hmmm, yeah, that was a little sus Anyway, Taylor never ever ever expected for a chance to be into men. She never got the hint. He never told her, and so she was completely thrown off. She was just like gobsmacked, like what The last time she saw him, they got into a huge fight. He grabbed all his stuff plus her laptop by
accident, and he ran off. So then he calls her when production is there and he says, I downloaded everything off of your laptop and you are dirty, dealer. You are not who I thought you were. First of all, disgusting. Why is he downloading everything on her laptop? Like that's so disgusting in such an invasion of privacy, Like okay, why you shout it out? Irritating? What's happening? John? Not downloaded all the informations your laptop? And when you are, you're dirty? Finally realized you're not
who you said you were. And I'm really upset about it because I put in a lot of her work and sweat into your here and I had nothing to show for it. Doing what manipulative, gaslighting narcissistic assholes do and Taylor kept her cool. I don't know how she did, oh my god, but I will say she did make me laugh a couple of times because she was so calmly savage. Oh god, I know we're not supposed to say that word anymore either. God, I just need to like clean up my
vocabulary. She was so effortlessly uh rude, see that that word doesn't hit as hard. But okay. So when he was like, you're definitely not who I thought you were, she calmly says, well, you're definitely not. Yeah, well you're definitely not so. And then he was talking about, well, I don't even have a bunch of friends who will let me crash, but I found a place, okay, and she goes, yeah, your boyfriends, your boyfriends, okay, I can't. Oh my god, I died. And then this loser says, you know what, I
hope you catch something. Okay, bro, I'm pretty sure you're the one who's caught a thing or two. Okay. What a freaking loser. He's such a good for nothing loser. He's a useless good And that's it for the episode recap. This This episode was so good it almost felt like a finale to me, but I think there's a few episodes left of this season. And Taylor, I know it took you a while to come around and finally dump his ass. Do not ever take him back. Raise your standards
a little bit. I mean, chance is like the bottom, the bottom of the barrel. You can only go up from there. And that's it for the episode recap. Let me know all your thoughts in the comments. If you guys ever want to listen to this on podcast form, I do post my recaps on my podcast called ninety dight Thoughts, so you can head over there.
