‘Teen Mom 2’ Recap: Jenelle & Nathan’s Fight Turns Physical & He Gets Arrested

A whole lot of fighting goes down on the Aug. 20 episode of ‘Teen Mom 2.’ Between Chelsea duking it out in court with Adam Lind over custody, Leah getting a giant slap in the face with divorce papers and Jenelle sits back and watches Nathan get arrested, we don’t know which was worse!

On this week’s episode of Teen Mom 2, Kailyn Lowry takes a little birthday trip with her family which actually goes smoothly and Chelsea Houska heads to court with Adam Lind over custody of their daughter, Aubree. Then there’s Jenelle Evans and her ex-fiancé, Nathan Griffith, who get a wakeup call when the cops are called during their heated fight, and also one for Leah Messer gets a not so happy surprise from Jeremy Calvert.

Chelsea Finally Meets Adam In Court

The day has finally come, Chelsea and Adam go to court over their custody agreement for Aubree. Although cameras weren’t allowed in the court, Chelsea winds up leaving the court house beaming. She jumps in her father’s truck and lets us all know that she will retain full custody of little Aubree. Adam was denied hard for 50/50 custody and the even funnier part was that he wound up getting arrested right there on the spot. Yup, he had a warrant for his arrest. The case won’t be looked at again for another six months, but Adam was optimistic. After getting out of jail, he tells his friend, “It definitely wasn’t the way I wanted it to go. I don’t think it was a fair ruling. But the judge wants six more months? Fine, easy, let’s do it.” Good luck Adam, you’ll need it.

Kailyn & Javi Play Nice On Vacation

Kailyn and her husband Javi surprising had a great episode. The pair jetted off to Florida with their family to celebrate Kail’s b-day. They got to spend time together and it was a pleasure to watch. The only tough part for her was learning that her ex Jo and his girlfriend Vee are pregnant. Well, maybe not that tough, just bothersome, because they are all set to move closer to her. Kail tells her friends, “I don’t give a s**t. I’m happy for them It’s great that they’re starting their own family, but other than that I don’t care at all.” She went on to add, “I am bothered that Jo is moving into my development… I want to keep our custody agreement. I don’t want you dropping by just because you can and you’re ten houses down!” Looks like she may just wind up being Jo and Vee’s next babysitter.

Leah Gets Served With Divorce Papers

Well, Jeremy has officially had enough of the drama with Leah. Tonight’s episode showcased some major heartbreak for her. While running errands, she was served divorce papers in a grocery store. The girl just wanted bread and milk, but wound up with this instead! Leah was not only upset about the divorce, but her friend made it clear that being served in a supermarket is just downright embarrassing. Great support system. Leah goes on to tell her friend, “It’s like, when is enough going to be enough? I’m to my wit’s end. I don’t even know what to do. I feel like it’s going to push me over the edge.” Knowing that her feelings are about to burst right on camera, she decides her best bet would to go away for awhile — to rehab. She calls Jeremy to let him know of her plans, “We’ve had a lot of ups and downs recently, and I’ve just been thinking about something for a little while, and I think I’m going to go away to a therapeutic treatment place. She goes on to tell him she thinks it will be a reset button for her life. Jeremy understands this is for the best and tries to support her, but he also tells her that he stills wants a divorce. Ouch.

Jenelle Watches Nathan Get Arrested

It was not a good night for Jenelle — and we’re not talking about her latest arrest on Aug. 20. Actually, tonight’s episode featured her ex Nathan getting arrested. It all started when a neighbor called 911 stating, “A couple is fighting. Please send the police right away. We heard her screaming, ‘Get off of me, get off of me!’” Then we see the aftermath. Nathan is being pulled from their home in cuffs, while Jenelle stands with police and fills out paperwork. She then gets photographed, flashing the scrapes and cuts that were left on her body from fighting with Nathan. We later learn that the cuts were from when he ripped her engagement ring off. As Nathan screams and cries to Jenelle, she ignores his pleas, “Jenelle you know I didn’t do anything… Please Jenelle can you tell them? You know the truth!” Yes, the truth shall set you free, Nathan — if we only knew what it really was.

HollywoodLifers — do you think Leah made the right choice to go away to rehab? Should Jenelle rid herself completely of Nathan?
