‘You, Me, and My Ex’ Season 1 Episode 3 Recap: July 11
Last week on You, Me, and My Ex, Jessica and Kayee continued to butt heads. Jessica does not think Kay contributes anything to the family. She also is feeling like she is too much of a child. However, Jerry is determined to make it work no matter what. The dynamic of April and Roy was introduced when they chose to get matching tattoos behind her new husband’s back. He likes Roy but wishes they would spend less time together. Finally, Alex is still being scrutinized for choosing a woman. Yet, this could be the one for him and he is ready to pop the question.
The Big You, Me, and My Ex Trip With Jerry’s Family
To break up the tension, Jerry planned a ski trip for his whole family. This included Kay. She was not sure how she would be on the slopes. Yet she did very well and had a lot of fun. Unfortunately, Jessica could not stand her. She found her loud and obnoxious. It infuriated her when Kay referred to it as a great family trip. Jessica won’t even attempt to make them somewhat of a family, even for the kids.
Kayee may seem high maintenance but at least she is trying to have fun. Jessica clearly does not want her there at all. Luckily, Kay is bonding with Jerry’s kids so this breaks up the tension. They all get in the car to head back home and Jerry is completely oblivious to Jessica’s rude ways. Kay makes it clear to the camera she will not be played or disrespected by Jessica.
Jessica gets all cozy with the kids, talking about making hot cocoa. Jerry notes how much Kay loves cocoa. She snubs him and stays silent. He cannot figure out why. Clearly, he is tone-deaf to the way Jessica has been treating Kay. But he knows it’s going to end badly.
Loren, April, Roy, and John- The Hot Mess Express
Admittedly, Loren and April did not get along at first. It took Loren over two years to forge a friendship with April when April began dating John. That was Loren’s husband at the time so she was not a fan. To the extent, she tried to hit her with her car. Yet, she eventually realized how amazing she was. They soon became super close friends and could all co-parent very well. Together, Loren and April have a podcast.
The ladies decided to do a sexy photoshoot just for a fun. Nudity was involved in it. John came home early to surprise April and was shocked to find her in a bubble bath with his ex-wife. He said he was mad but was he really? John begins to question the women and what is going on. He explains to the camera how Loren and April were fire at first. Then, they became so close, it was phone calls that ended in “I love you.” He also explains his wedding to April had to be quiet because of a lot of tension.
Now that it has quieted down, he feels it is time to give her the princess fairy tale wedding she has dreamed of. He takes her to dinner and hides her engagement ring in a drawer. John has added some stones and tells her they can have the wedding they want. He does ask April if she is ready to let Roy go. John does not understand the friendship at all. It might all be messy.
