Teen Mom: The Next Chapter season 2, episode 31 aired on May 15, 2025, and delivered one of the most chaotic hours of the season. Titled Go Cry About It, the episode followed Briana DeJesus as she prepared for a tubal removal surgery, firmly deciding she was done with unexpected pregnancies.
Her friend Jade Cline flew in to help with recovery — but in a twist of irony, Jade’s storyline ended with her worrying that she might be pregnant herself. Ashley Jones also faced a major life update as her ex, Bar Smith, took a plea deal and prepared for release from jail.
Meanwhile, Leah Messer supported her daughter Ali ahead of a muscular dystrophy check-up, helping her connect with someone going through a similar journey. But even with those emotional moments, it was the back-to-back developments between Briana and Jade that stood out most — bringing both humour and high-stakes drama in true Teen Mom fashion.

Here’s why I believe this episode gave us some of the most unforgettable Teen Mom: The Next Chapter moments in recent memory.
Briana took control of her future while Jade stepped up — until things took a turn in Teen Mom: The Next Chapter
Briana DeJesus made a major decision in this episode — she underwent surgery to have her fallopian tubes removed, officially closing the door on having more children. Sitting with her daughters, Nova and Stella, Briana explained the process in simple terms, while also making it clear that her mind was made up. Even as her mother Roxanne voiced concerns that Briana might regret it later, Bri told her mother:
“The man that’s out there for me is going to agree with what we want to do in this household.”
Jade Cline flew to Florida to support Briana through the surgery and recovery. She helped out with the kids, prepped the house, and even showed up at 4 a.m. for the hospital drop-off. Their friendship — filled with blunt honesty and a little chaos — made for some of the episode’s most entertaining moments.
At one point, Jade joked, “I would do anything for you and your tubes,” and Briana, barely recovered, told her she was ready to “start f**king and not have to worry about it.” But things shifted quickly. Back in Indiana, Jade casually checked her period tracker and realized she was two weeks late.
The lighthearted support role turned into a tense cliffhanger when Jade called Briana in a panic and went out to buy a pregnancy test. As this episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter ended, Jade and Sean were seen reacting to the test results — but viewers were left in suspense, with the outcome saved for next week.
It’s this mix of confidence, support, and unexpected tension that made Briana and Jade’s storyline the most compelling part of the episode. Whether it’s ending one chapter or possibly starting a new one, they continue to define what Teen Mom: The Next Chapter is all about.
Ashley set boundaries while Leah supported Ali through a turning point in Teen Mom: The Next Chapter
Ashley Jones spent this episode preparing for Bar Smith’s return following his plea deal. After learning he would be released soon, Ashley met with a domestic violence organization to better understand her own experience and gather resources for her daughter, Holly.
She admitted she hadn’t called herself a victim before, explaining that because her situation didn’t involve visible injuries, she didn’t think it would be taken seriously. The counselor reassured her that abuse isn’t always physical and offered support options.
Meanwhile, Leah Messer encouraged Ali to take more control during her muscular dystrophy check-up. Although Ali resisted at first, she later connected with another teen who also has MD. Their conversation gave her a chance to speak openly about her challenges and feel understood in a way her family couldn’t provide.
While quieter than the other storylines, Ashley and Leah’s moments grounded the episode with emotional depth and personal growth.
New episodes of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter stream Thursdays on MTV.
