PHOTOSTeen Mom OG Recap: Amber Portwood Admits She "Hates" Gary For Not Letting Her See Leah
While things seem to be improving with Maci Bookout as she attempts to co-parent Bentley with his dad, Ryan, things got worse this week on the Amber Portwood and Gary front on Teen Mom OG. Read on for our recap of episode 3 in photos, plus more scoop on what went down.
As Amber gears up for her book tour, she tries to get in one last visit with Leah. When she calls to ask Gary—who has full custody—for permission, he insists that she can only have Leah for a few hours rather than a sleepover, because he needs Leah to be on a regimented schedule during the school week. Amber gets upset saying that she is a mom who is capable of helping her daughter with things like homework and school, but Gary still only lets her see her "boo boo" for a little while.
Later, after a few tears, Amber tries to keep her mind off things with her book tour, followed by a radio interview on Dr. Drew's podcast. But issues of fighting Gary for custody come up with Dr. Drew, with Amber insisting that she's going to fight for more time with Leah now that she's sober and healthy. To be continued!
Meanwhile, Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra are happy since he's finally figured out what he wants to do with his life (aside from be on MTV)—go to film school. He applies right away, and the couple shares a cute smooch once he clicks 'submit.'

But later, after painting the nursery and going shopping for baby stuff for their impending arrival, Nova, Tyler complains after Brandon and Teresa get mad at him for posting new photos of Carly on their fan page. He gets upset that he doesn't have the freedom to post whatever he'd like, but Catelynn has a point—she'd rather not post pictures than risk jeopardizing their relationship with Carly and her adoptive parents altogether. We hope Ty eventually comes around, too!

Maci is dealing with more drama this week, which starts when Bentley cries that he doesn't want to go to his daddy's house. Awkward. Things get worse though when Ryan shows up late to pick up Bentley during the allotted time frame, and even Ryan's dad agrees that he needs to do something to improve his attitude.
Later, Maci goes bridesmaid dress shopping with a friend who's getting married and reflects on how happy she is that she didn't end up marrying Ryan, to whom she was engaged when Bentley was a baby. Can you even imagine?!
Then finally, after a relatively mature texting convo, Ryan finally agrees to meet Maci for lunch and they discuss their communication plan moving forward. Of course, he shows up 30 minutes late, but it's progress, people.
Do you think Ryan is actually trying to communicate now? Should Amber get more time with Leah? And do you agree with Tyler or Catelynn about posting pics of Carly? Tweet us @OKMagazine.
