This week’s Teen Mom Family Reunion picks up right where the last episode left off, with Sean reeling from his drunken antics and emotional confessions. If you thought the drama peaked with the “Moan-A-Thon,” think again, because this episode delivers on relationship issues, a lingerie party that’s equal parts cringe and chaotic, and the arrival of a familiar face – Mackenzie McKee. Let’s dive into the highlights of this wild episode of Teen Mom Family Reunion Season 3.

Opening with the aftermath of his emotional night, Sean is facing the music – or rather, Tyler’s less-than-sensitive Spanish-infused ribbing. Sean confesses to Tyler that he had a “cry-sesh” with Jade, opening up about past struggles and his behavior towards her. He attributes his recent behavior to drinking and declares his intention to stay sober for the remainder of the vacation.

Meanwhile, Jade is feeling unwell, summoning the medic to their cabana. While she downplays it as just being tired, the symptoms sound suspiciously like a hangover. Jade agrees to rest, which conveniently gets Sean out of any potentially awkward group activities.

With Jade and Sean sidelined, the other couples head to the beach for another relationship workshop. This time, the exercise involves giant blocks labeled with common relationship issues. Notably absent from the list? “Pretending to be okay with your spouse’s OnlyFans.”
The couples are tasked with ranking these issues from least to most important in their own relationships. Catelynn and Tyler are quick to assert that intimacy is their strongest area, while communication is a struggle for Cate, and anger is Tyler’s admitted issue.

Maci and Taylor (of “Beer Taylor” fame) are next. Humorously, a “Forgetting to Restock the Beer Fridge” block is missing, much to our disappointment. They identify trust as a strength, but communication (for Taylor) and intimacy (for Maci) as areas needing improvement.

Cheyenne and Zach, followed by Cory and Taylor, also participate, airing their relationship dynamics for the group. Cory and Taylor’s turn reveals underlying trust issues stemming from Cory’s past infidelity.

The revelation of Cory’s past cheating isn’t news to most of the cast, but Catelynn declares she could never forgive Tyler for such an act. Cory, however, expresses frustration that Taylor still holds onto his five-year-old mistake. This prompts the experts to call him out for minimizing his past actions and Taylor’s feelings.

Later, Cheyenne and Cory discuss the workshop. Cory admits he’s not surprised Taylor brought up the trust issues and believes she hasn’t fully forgiven him. Taylor joins the conversation, bringing up Cory’s commitment issues and reluctance to get married. Cory deflects, saying he hopes Family Reunion will reignite their “spark,” which Taylor interprets as a clear avoidance of marriage.

Meanwhile, Catelynn and Tyler are by the pool, gossiping about castmates. Cate reveals to Tyler that Mackenzie McKee, now divorced, is dating someone new and will be joining them on Family Reunion. Catelynn hopes Cheyenne will be okay with Mackenzie’s arrival, given their past issues. Tyler expresses hope that this trip will be an opportunity for Mackenzie to “work on herself, get educated, apologize and take accountability” with Cheyenne, referencing past racial insensitivity accusations against Mackenzie.
Later, Catelynn and Tyler are preparing for a lingerie party they’ve organized for the group. Yes, you read that right. A lingerie party. They assemble gift baskets filled with sex toys, hoping to push the couples out of their comfort zones. Catelynn’s transformation into a “brothel Madame” continues to amuse and slightly unsettle.

Sean and Jade opt out of the lingerie party, using Jade’s illness (and Sean’s aversion to public humiliation) as their excuse. Taylor expresses discomfort with the theme due to body image issues, but Catelynn offers encouragement (and a sex harness).

Before the party even begins, we are subjected to glimpses of Cory’s backside and Tyler in a silk robe. The cringe is real. Once the party gets underway, Cheyenne notices Taylor is missing. Cory, momentarily pausing his “Teen Mom orgy” fantasies, convinces a reluctant Taylor to join the party with chocolate-covered strawberries and champagne.
The party is a bizarre mix of costumes, lingerie, and questionable dance moves. Maci’s “Spring Break 2011” twerking on Taylor is particularly awkward, resembling a sibling dance-off more than a romantic moment.

Amidst the party chaos, Catelynn casually drops the Mackenzie bombshell on Cheyenne. Cheyenne reveals her complex history with Mackenzie, including a past conversation where she felt she had to give Mackenzie a “Black History lesson,” and a subsequent online feud involving “white tears.” Cheyenne recounts the harassment she and her family faced after Mackenzie discussed the situation online.

Catelynn, seemingly unfazed by the potential drama she’s unleashing, assures everyone Mackenzie has “done a lot of therapy.” Cheyenne promises to remain civil, dashing any hopes of a Briana-chandelier-swinging-level meltdown.
The party descends further into debauchery, featuring whipped cream, tequila, and eventually… bugs. The bartender introduces “big ass ants,” a Colombian delicacy, claiming they enhance virility. Suddenly, the guys are eager to try them.

Cory, Zach, and Tyler, fueled by ants and alcohol, end up skinny-dipping in the pool. Catelynn, ever the entrepreneur, immediately declares, “This is going on OnlyFans!”
The next morning, hangovers abound, except for Sean and Jade, who wisely skipped the lingerie party nightmare. Dr. Mike arrives and takes the only functional couple, Jade and Sean, for a couples’ session. Jade expresses her desire for Sean to step up and take more responsibility. Sean agrees and discusses his discomfort with his drinking. They also discuss Jade’s pregnancy fears, with Jade making it clear she doesn’t want a repeat of Sean’s lackluster support during her previous pregnancy. Sean agrees to wait until she’s ready for another child.

Meanwhile, Mackenzie and her boyfriend Khessi arrive in Colombia. Khessi, who is Jamaican and new to the “Teen Mom experience,” seems understandably bewildered. Mackenzie explains they met online and have been dating for almost a year. She describes Khessi as “level-headed,” a stark contrast to her ex, Josh. Mackenzie expresses anxiety about apologizing to Cheyenne in person and vows to “do better.”
