This week's Teen Mom OG was a long time coming. Catelynn Lowell & Tyler Baltierra finally have their face-to-face conversation with Brandon & Teresa, the couple who adopted their first daughter Carly, plus they get to see Carly for the first time in a year! And let's not forget that this is also the episode in which Farrah Abraham makes her return to the show. Clearly this week's photo recap is jam-packed so let's get cracking.

Before we get to the Catelynn and Farrah stuff, let's focus on Maci Bookout. Having already told family and friends the big pregnancy news, it's time to tell Maci's ex Ryan Edwards and his parents. Ryan, being the man of many words that he is, simply says "Good luck, ya'll," when Maci and Taylor tell him during a drop-off with Bentley that she's pregnant. Ryan's dad, Larry, seems a little bit more excited and genuinely thrilled that Bentley is going to be a big brother.

Later, when Ryan goes home to talk about Maci's news with his parents, things take a turn and he ends up getting asked instead about his relationship with on-again-off-again girlfriend, Shelby Woods. "We still speak but we’re not together. We argue all the time,” Ryan says in response to the producers' probing questions. Then, after getting increasingly agitated, Ryan takes off his mic and storms out after saying, "I didn’t agree to talk about this tonight.” Okay, so then moving right back to Maci's baby news...

Later, Maci shares a heartwarming moment with Jen and Larry when she tells them that she was scared to tell them she was pregnant out of fear that they'd be disappointed in her because she's not married. They tell her instead that they're happy for her because she's "the only daughter they ever had." At least they have Maci to talk to since their own son Ryan clearly has a 'tude!

Amber Portwood, meanwhile, is finally coming to terms with the fact that Gary Shirley and Kristina are expecting—"This isn’t the worst thing that’s happened to me," Amber says matter-of-factly during lunch with her brother—but things take a step backwards when Gary won't stop calling and texting Amber to "check up" on her.

"Gary calls me and asks me if I miss his penis," Amber says to producer Heather after she gets another phone call from her ex. During the same conversation, Amber alludes to the fact that Gary cheated on Kristina, asking her, "What are you thinking about? Kristina’s gone…"

Finally, Amber calls Gary over so they can talk in person about how his behavior needs to stop, but it leads to a screaming match (though luckily not physical violence) between the former flames. How's that for closure, Amber? Amber eventually realizes it's not worth getting herself upset over and puts all her focus on little Leah instead.

“This show makes it challenging for us, parenting wise,” Teresa says tearfully about how and why they prefer a more private life for Carly. With adoption counselor Dawn as the mediator, both sides share their perspectives on the situation and explain why they each feel the way they do and luckily, there's some resolution and mutual understanding.

And with that emotional convo out of the way, finally Catelynn & Tyler get what they really want—time with Carly. Because of the whole privacy thing, Brandon and Teresa insist that her face not appear on camera, but we as fans still get to see the touching encounter, which is full of hugs, tears, and Frozen-themed gifts.

The next day the whole family goes out to lunch and Catelynn, Teresa and Carly share a big group hug as a send-off. Teresa gets emotional realizing that next time they see each other, Catelynn will have another little baby whom she can't wait to "love and hold." Oh man, we hope MTV documents that moment.

And the final three-and-a-half minutes of the episode focus on Farrah, who's barely cooperating and clearly upset with the camera crew and producers for suddenly allowing her back on the show. "I think that was a fantastic welcome back," says producer Heather after they wrap the first day of filming. "That was Farrah Abraham style, I’ll tell ya that." We couldn't have said it any better ourselves.
