I cant decide if meeting Kats friends makes me less worried for her or more.
On the one hand, Kat has a couple top-tier ride-or-dies, clearly.
Other supporting characters who give grade A performances this round include Roxannes parents.
Because Roxanne is definitely making it harder than it is.
Im just not convinced thats the actual problem.
Not even I love you.
Just say it back.
Antonio, bantering a little, says hell be Roxannes champion.
Weirdly, its very adorable.
Like, I can see the chemistry.
Listen to your mom, Roxanne.
Elsewhere in town, Trey and Riah are also having a breakthrough.
Unfortunately, its leading toward the inevitable: They should break up.
I havent talked much about Riah yet, mostly because I just dont have anything much to add.
Its not her fault if they dont listen.
Like when Trey said he had feelings for Ryann and Riah got upset.
She says she feels like hes rushing her.
He thinks of it as getting her to skip steps.
And you say youre ready for marriage?
You are not ready for marriage.
Shes young and she wants to move to Atlanta because she wants to live in the city.
Hes trying to move this girl out to the suburbs immediately.
Fellas, let this be a lesson.
Riah tells the confessional camera that shes grown a lot over the past few months.
Has my growth made me move past him?
Quite possibly, babe.
By far the hardest of the hard conversations we witness are the ones between James and Ryann.
He says he has PTSD and she cant tell him to just get over it.
James felt abandoned by his mom growing up, because she was away for work most of the time.
Under all of this, James says he began self-harming at age 9.
I couldnt be enough for my mom.
I couldnt be enough for my dad.
How could I be enough for someone like you?
That sound you hear is my own heart breaking for him right now.
I guess I was just always scared.
Says Ryann, This is some heavy stuff.
you’ve got the option to say that again.
My heart cant take anything heavier than that.
