Family Reunion Face-Off: Can Briana And Devoin Get On The 'Right Track' To Co-Parent Nova?

Briana invited Devoin to the Teen Mom: Family member Reunion with the intent they could get on the correct track" (following their latest Teen Mom 2 reunion disagreement). Nevertheless unfortunately, the content between Nova's parents -- mediated by Coach B -- rapidly turned heated, and the installment ended with Devoin on the verge of abandoning the chat and Briana letting out an exasperated sigh.


The conversation will continue while in next week's episode -- although before the pair convened, Briana stated her goal for asking Devoin to come to San Diego was to fix their fractured relationship for the sake of their daughter and also for Stella (Briana called him a "father figure" to her little girl).


Coach B was able to immediately get the two to open up, and Devoin voiced his agitation that they are inconsistent once it comes to co-parenting, and issues are "not voiced up until we go to a Teen Mom reunion." He also thought Nova was confused about their relationship and why her companions visualize their dads once she doesn't visualize Devoin often. Although Briana confessed that she does not habitually trust Devoin to be there for his daughter. Case in point: a situation right before the spinoff series started filming.


"There's a lot of times that you didn't; the other week you mentioned you were gonna come immediately after we set up Nova's birthday party," Briana mentioned. "And you didn't come in the morning. Thing is, in case you mention you're going do something, you have got to stick to it and be committed."


Devoin insisted he had not told Nova about his previous plan to stop by, although Briana had already told Nova that he was intending to visit.


"So right now, Nova's like, 'Where is my dad?' And then I'm the one that has to explain to her why you didn't make it," Briana explained.


Nevertheless Devoin immediately grew defensive (his excuse for the incident was that he had to stage name things at his house) and declared his absence that day was "not that big of a deal." Yet Briana disagreed. Devoin then opted to pivot the topic of conversation to their 16 and Pregnant installment.


"She mentioned I left the hospital to go play basketball," he remembered. Once my daughter was place on Earth, that's an one thousand percent bold-faced lie."


Old footage from the scene was replayed -- and the new mom voiced how her newborn's father was "not interested in being a dad first," so she determined to not put Devoin's name on the birth certificate. Devoin considered that his life with Nova started with a lie, and he was "never given a chance." A brief bout of bickering ensued, so Coach B tried to get the two back to the primary focus: Nova. Yet, Devoin countered that Nova is going to think that he "abandoned her while she was born."


"There's nothing that [Bri] can tell her that will overpower the experience you give her," Coach B stated. "The ball's in your court once it comes to that."


Briana interjected by saying, "Thank you" and then asked to voice her views, requesting Devoin not interject up until she was finished speaking.


"You haven't routinely been stable during your life, so there was no consistent house for Nova to go to," Briana started. "You were couch hopping."


Devoin rapidly chimed in -- despite Briana's earlier appeal -- and mentioned she was lying and that it was only each year along with 1/2 any time once he didn't have a location to live.


"He doesn't like to hear the truth," a defeated Briana admitted, as Devoin stood up and repeated, "It's going to come off."


"Tell your daughter the truth about her dad," he demanded. "Her dad was not homeless from f*cking zero to five. Tell Nova the truth."


The episode ended with those words -- and Briana audibly exhaling. Will Coach B have the ability to help the exes re-establish Nova as their focus and get the duo on a healthy co-parenting track? Or will this conversation end like their latest TM2 reunion with Dr. Drew and Nessa? Never miss next week's Teen Mom: Family member Reunion episode at 8/7c.
