After a dramatic season premiere, Little People, Big World returned to TLC on Tuesday night. Picking up right where they ended last week, Matt Roloff and his girlfriend Caryn discussed Zach's decision to move to Battle Ground. Although Matt was upset with their decision, he added that he was relieved that he didn't end up selling the farm to his son.

Things got off on the wrong foot when Zach had a conversation with his dad in which he expressed his interest in buying the north side of the farm. Matt quoted a price that was too high for Zach to pay and didn't want to reduce it. Upset with the decision, Zach decided to move away from his hometown.

After Matt and Caryn heard the news, the couple was taken aback. During his confessional, Matt shared that he was upset at the way Zach handled the situation. He also added that he quoted the price he did because Zach was not ready to do the work that comes with owning the farm.

Matt believed that Zach just wanted to live with his family on the farm and expected his father to take care of the place. Zach and his wife Tori were also unhappy that Caryn joined the negotiation and shared her opinion. However, Matt mentioned that he wanted Caryn there as an extra pair of ears. He added that because of this reason, he was a little relieved that he didn't end up selling the farm to Zach.

Fans who watched Matt's reaction were appalled. Some also believed that Caryn was out of line.

During dinner, Caryn shared that she had ordered a terrain wheelchair that she could push Matt around in. This resulted in Amy and Chris bursting out in laughter.

But what stood out the most was the bromance between Chris and Matt. When the couple arrived for dinner, Matt gave Chris a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
