Kourtney Kardashian and Younes Bendjima: Getting Back Together?

On this weekend’s Keeping Up With The Kardashians , viewers will see Kourtney bait Khloe into SNAPPING . In real time, Kourtney’s still basking in the aftermath of her 40th birthday. But she can’t help but wonder if she made a huge mistake in her 30s. She and ex-boyfriend Younes Bendjima are back in touch and extremely flirty. Are they getting back together? Kourtney Kardashian an absoutely radiant photo of herself. In the image, which was uploaded to Instagram, she is wearing a stunning and vibrant leather dress. Scarlet is really her color. “Do you take Amex?” Kourtney captioned her gorgeous photo. The pic caught the eyes of her fans and followers … including one person who knows her very, very well. Younes Bendjima, Kourtney’s ex, appreciated the photo. The pair have been broken up for a full nine months, but he left an Instagram comment. “Ya look good minnie mouse,” Younes wrote. Instead of ignoring the compliment or calling him out for being horny on main, Kourtney responded. “Merci, Mickey,” Kourt wrote. Was that just innocent banter between exes? Maybe. But an inside source tells RadarOnline that there is “definitely more to it!” “Kourtney and Younes are talking again,” the insider reports. “And,” the source continues. “She is not going to pretend like she doesn’t still have strong feelings for him.” “Because she does” very much still have feelings for him, the insider explains. Apparently that simple public back-and-forth led to a lot more talk behind-the-scenes. “The whole flirting episode led to the two of them talking again,” the source reveals. “And,” the insider adds. “She told him that she really misses him” “She is trying to be this single and independent woman,” the source expresses. “And she is,” the insider affirms, before adding: “To an extent.” Independence is all well and good, but … “But at the end of the day,” the source says. “Kourtney really does miss him,” the insider affirms. “And,” the source continues. “She is telling her sisters that she needs to get him back.” If she wants to, we would hope that it would be easy. Assuming that Younes has even a shred of common sense, that is. Of course, that may be too bold of an assumption. As you may recall, Kourtney dumped Younes last August. There were reports that Younes had cheated — or at least been overly friendly with — a gorgeous woman. (Seriously, what is it with vaguely suspicious party activities and ending relationships for the Kardashians?) As you can imagine, that did not go over well with Kourtney, and she dropped Younes and never looked back. Until now, that is. Sometimes, moving on means that the negative things from a relationship feel less important than they once were. The human memory is very subjective, and a lot of people romanticize their exes. Remembering the good times can help exes reconnect. Sometimes, it’s a huge success. We think that Kourtney loves too deeply to be as casual with relationships as some imagine. After all, at first, Younes was supposed to be a boy toy, but she fell head over heels. Maybe she and Younes will give it another shot. Or maybe this was just a little friendly banter between super hot exes. View Slideshow: Kourtney Kardashian and Younes Bendjima: See Their Sexy Vacation Pics!

Jenelle Evans Reveals The Scary Reason Why She Had An Ovary Removed!

The ovaries are an important part of the female reproductive system.  Their job is what got Jenelle Evans a job on the MTV hit show Teen Mom 2 . But now the 27-year-old is opening up about why one of her ovaries was recently removed while she underwent a surgical procedure to tie her tubes.  The reality star answered fan questions via her Instagram Stories on Wednesday and told one of her followers why she “only [got] one tube tied.” She explained, “When she tied the other my doc thought the blood supply might be cut off in the long run then die so she took it out completely.”  Evans’ rep told Us Weekly  on Saturday, April 13 that the TV personality was “healing” after getting surgery to have polyps and cysts removed and get her tubes tied . The North Carolina native later explained why she chose to go forward with the procedure.  “I decided to get this procedure because I had a really bad problem of irregular bleeding, which led to ultrasounds then led to my OBGYN suggesting exploration surgery and tubes being tied,” she told the media outlet. “She told me my IUD made my lining very thin, which isn’t good. … I would have never known about any of this unless I had this procedure done.” “In the long run, it was the best decision for my health and gave me a lot of answers to many problems I was experiencing,” she said.  One of her problems included her getting “very sick” while pregnant with her three children — Jace, 9, Kaiser, 4, and Ensley, 2 — but she revealed that she is done having kids.  “I am happy with the number of kids I have now,” she said in an interview with E! .  The JE cosmetics founder’s husband David Eason, whom she married in September of 2017 , “was by her side” during her time in the hospital.  Even though he couldn’t for the life of him understand what his wife was even having surgery on.  After Jenelle’s procedure, David got her a surfboard as a get-well-soon gift to “get her back on her feet” — but when he shared the picture a fan asked if she had her tubes tied and he said um … no.  Jenelle later cleared up her husband’s confusion and confirmed to her fans that she did indeed have her tubes tied.  And even though we are once again shaking our heads at David Eason , he has reportedly been a good husband (gasps!) and has continued to take care of her throughout her recovery. “I’m still crippled, y’all,” the MTV star said via her Instagram Stories earlier on Wednesday. “I feel helpless.” We wish the mother of three a speedy recovery so she can get on out there and catch some waves with her (shudders) sweetheart. Now that we would actually tune in to see. Surfs up.  View Slideshow: Jenelle Evans Says She’s Done Having Kids; David Eason Says She’s Lying [UPDATED]

Ryan Edwards’ Family: He’ll Never Stay Sober!

It's only been four days since Ryan Edwards got released from prison after serving three months for a probation violation. And already, the Teen Mom OG star is showing signs that he still hasn't changed his ways. Within 24 hours of returning home, Ryan accused wife Mackenzie Standifer of cheating on him. And with erratic behavior like that, it's not hard to see why the rest of his family has severe doubts about Edwards' ability to remain sober. Take a look: 1. One Troubled Dad In the past two years, Ryan has been arrested three times, and he’s checked himself into rehab twice. 2. The Power of Addiction From an outsiders’ perspective, Ryan seems to have it all. But heroin has such a profound hold on him that he keeps throwing it all away. 3. An Attempt to Get Clean Ryan’s most recent stint in rehab was also his longest. He spent 90 days in a treatment center in late 2018, missing the birth of his second son in the process. 4. Back to His Old Ways Unfortunately, less than two months after leaving treatment, Edwards was arrested for heroin possession and skipping out on a bar tab. 5. A Familiar Pattern The drink-and-dash charge was dropped, but Ryan wound up behind bars for three months for violating his probation. 6. Ryan’s Hope Ryan was released from prison on Monday, but already, it seems his family is concerned that he’s returned to his old ways. View Slideshow

Ashley Martson Admits to Lying: I Get Paid to Lie, Dummies!

This week, 90 Day Fiance star Ashley Martson took to Instagram to reveal something startling … but not very surprising. Jay Smith cheated on her … again . This time, she plans to file for divorce and not look back. But fans are wondering if this cheating drama is another “lie” like she’s told in the past. And Ashley’s answer … is a stunning admission. Some  90 Day Fiance  stars are happy to answer fan questions. Just recently, Ashley’s  Happily Ever After?  castmate  Nicole Nafziger spilled on her sex life  and more. Sometimes, however, questions from “fans” can be downright nasty and confrontational. “Why do you lie?” demanded one of Ashley’s followers on Instagram. Instead of ignoring the obvious hate, Ashley replied — with some major sass. So … why  does  Ashley Martson allegedly lie? “Because I get paid to!” Ashley replies. “Ya’ll are out here doing it for free,” she very correctly points out. Part of her job is to deceive fans and viewers. To repurpose an old sexist saying: Why tune in to the cow’s reality show if you’re getting the milk on Instagram for free? “Either I tell the truth,” Ashley posits. “And I’m a horrible person for spoiling the show.” And in breach of contract. “Or,” she continues. “I lie so you have some sort of surprise when the show airs.” Ashley laments that, ultimately, someone will always be pissed at her. “It’s a no-win scenario,” she explains. Some drama simply cannot be hidden for long, however. On Monday, April 15, Ashley revealed to her followers that Jay had cheated on her. Considering that he had downloaded Tinder and was video chatting with a girl and mkaing plans to meet up just days after their wedding … not a shocker. But that doesn’t mean that Ashley deserved to be cheated on. This time, she plans to divorce him. There’s a real chance that Jay could end up back in Jamaica. But this time, there’s a twist. See, when Jay cheated on Ashley ater their wedding, he never  actually  got the chance to lay any extramarital pipe. That was only because he got caught — he doesn’t get any points for that. But this time, it looks like his cheating was extremely physical. And either he was doing a lot of cheating, or the odds were stacked, because the unconfirmed report is that Jay  knocked up  his side piece. A woman claiming to be Jay’s mistress is allegedly due with their child this fall, possibly in October. Keep in mind, of course, that anyone can claim anything on social media, especially if they want attention. Plenty of people have watched 90 Day Fiance and fantasized about getting pregnant with Jay’s baby. In fact, right now, we cannot even confirm with absolute certainty that Jay cheated. (Even a full on sex tape isn’t always good enough; what we really need is for Jay to come right out and says: “I cheated! Whoops!”) All that we know right now is that Ashley has accused Jay of cheating in a very public manner. Considering that Ashley has admitted to lying for the show, can even that be trusted?

Britney Spears: RETIRING From Music Amid Dad’s Health Crisis?

These are tough times for the pop icon known to her adoring fans as Godney. As you may have heard, Britney Spears’ father is reported to be on his death bed . Jamie Spears was forced to undergo emergency surgery after his colon spontaneously ruptured in November of 2018. Sadly, in the months since, the 66-year-old’s health issues have persisted, and insiders say the Spears family has been told to brace themselves for the worst. The singer is so distraught by the situation that she checked into a mental health facility last month. Sources say Britney sought help early, and with the help of loved ones and professionals, she’s managed to steer clear of another meltdown. But that doesn’t mean she’ll be returning to the stage anytime soon. According to insiders who spoke with Michael Shuter for his Straight Shuter podcast, Britney has decided to step away from music for the foreseeable future — and at this time, it’s unclear if the 37-year-old will ever perform again. “Britney’s only job is getting help and she has checked into a facility to seek treatment,” says one source . “She will do whatever it takes to get well and if that means walking away from performing, then so be it.” Fortunately, it seems that Britney has yet to experience any blowback from her decision. “People around her are being very supportive and don’t care about how much money she will be walking away from,” says the insider. “She already has more cash than she can ever spend and now is desperate to find something that money cannot buy, happiness.” A different source confirms to Us Weekly that her father’s illness was a “breaking point” for Britney that caused her to reevaluate her life and priorities. “Britney was distraught when her dad first got sick,” one insider tells the tabloid. “Then there was a period where she was handling it better and feeling more positive because Jamie seemed to be improving, but then his condition worsened and she couldn’t emotionally handle the thought of potentially losing him,” the source adds. “It was her breaking point.” Britney has already suspended her Las Vegas residency indefinitely, a decision she shared with fans in a heartfelt Instagram post: “A couple of months ago, my father was hospitalized and almost died,” she wrote. “We’re all so grateful that he came out of it alive, but he still has a long road ahead of him. I had to make the difficult decision to put my full focus and energy on my family at this time. “I hope you all can understand.” Our thoughts go out to the Spears family at this difficult time, and we hope Britney is able to find whatever kind of help she needs.

Ashley Martson: Jay Smith Cheated On Me AGAIN!!

The new season of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? premieres very soon, and fans can expect to see more of Ashley Martson’s health battle . But there’s more than lupus that’s trying to ruin Ashley’s life. She has now revealed that her husband, Jay, has cheated on her — again . On Monday, April 15, Ashley Martson took to her Instagram Stories to announce to the world that Jay Smith is in hot water. “It’s all fun and games until your ass gets deported,” Ashley writes. “Have fun at the strip club with MY money and MY car,” she adds. Ashley then notes that it’s a car that “you’re driving around without a license!” In case there was any doubt, she tags her husband, Jay Smith. To make her feelings even clearer, she adds: “Bye Felicia” and “canceled!” Ashley had also shared an earlier, even more hostile version of the message. “It’s all fun and games,” she had written. “Until I get your disgusting, cheating ass deported.” Despite her slightly moderated tone, it’s clear that she’s pissed. It sounds like she’s accusing him of once again cheating on her — the second time since they got married. Ashley and Jay have both unfollowed each other on Instagram. In Touch Weekly spoke to an inside source who says that Jay has torpedoes his marriage for the last time. “Ashley is indeed filing for divorce,” the insider confirms. “After catching Jay cheating yet again.” “She has reached her breaking point,” the source elaborates. “And this is the final straw.” “She feels like she was an opportunity for him,” the insider reveals. “And,” the source expresses. “She is hurt and disgusted.” “She also feels like he manipulated her,” the insider notes. “And,” the source says, Ashley “is saddened he cheated multiple times.” Ashley may be sad now, but Jay is the one with the most to lose. “Due to him not being a citizen,” the insider begins to caution. “Once she proceeds with the divorce,” the source concludes. “He could potentially be deported.” Even before Ashley and Jay got married, Ashley’s friends were warning her that her deeply horny fiance was going to cheat on her. “Maybe I don’t care what Jay does when I’m not over there,” Ashley said at the time. She added: “What he does in Jamaica when I’m not there is not my business.” “Honestly,”:she expressed. “If Jesus came down from heaven right now and said he cheated on me, I wouldn’t do anything about it.” That was her policy when they were merely engaged and living in different countries. “But,” she warned. “If Jay cheats on me here in the U.S., I would have to send him packing and back home.” Well, the two of them got married in Vegas. And then Jay cheated, even if Ashley caught him before he had the chance to lay any extramarital pipe. Jay downloaded Tinder just days after the two got married. She caught him video chatting with a girl. (They had also had a non-binding “wedding” ceremony in Jamaica months earlier, making his behavior even less excusable) Ultimately, Ashley gave him a second chance. Clearly, he will not get a third. However … Ashley has taken Jay back before. After he cheated that first time. She also briefly filed for divorce on January 11 of this year, only to take it back just days later. So she could change her tune on Jay. We also don’t know what Jay might have done. Obviously, merely going to a strip club is not cheating — and Ashley didn’t say that it was. When we know more, you’ll know more. View Slideshow: Ashley Martson Delivers Major Health Update: Is She Back in the Hospital?

90 Day Fiance: Steven Frend Returns to America … Without Olga!

Earlier this year, Steven Frend finally reunited with Olga Koshimbetova in Russia.  The 90 Day Fiance  couple had some romantic adventures in the snow with their precious new baby in tow. But now, Steven has come back to America without his fiance and child. WTF, Steven?! The reality TV personality has been in Russia for months visiting his new family. He got to meet the in-laws, spend some quality time with his fiance, and bond with their son Alex.  Although Steven came home alone, he promises he has a good explanation. “I’m in the U.S. now, Olga will be here in a week or 2,” Steven clarified in a recent instagram story. “She already has her visa,” he added. “Now we just need the plane tickets.” He concluded by explaining, “I had to leave Russia without Olga early or I was going to lose my job.” Well, we can’t fault the guy for trying to make the responsible decision. (We also can’t get over how cute he looks with little Alex!) So, we’re okay with having to wait a little longer to see if Olga and Alex get their happily ever after with Steven. At least Steven and Olga have been keeping fans up to speed with plenty of adorable social media posts. It looks like the couple have been having tons of fun playing in the snow … maybe too much fun.  Well ok, except for the time when  Steven had a tobogganing accident  and wound up in a neck brace. Oh, there was also the time when he got a huge chest tattoo while still wearing said neck brace. Steven claims he had to tap out after four hours of the painful process.  And it probably wasn’t fun when some fans cried foul at Steven’s choice to even get the tattoo. After all, big tattoos are typically expensive, and it wasn’t long ago that Steven asked fans to help pay his rent. We know Steven’s had some financial struggles in the past. For instance, Olga had to teleconference into the last season’s tell-all special because because Steven could not yet afford her K-1 visa or a place for the three of them to stay.  With those major needs on the line, it makes sense that fans might not approve of Steven spending money that they possibly sent him on fresh ink. Steven does have a decent job installing fire sprinklers these days. At $16 an hour, it isn’t enough to support a family of three.  But Steven has explained that he’ll continue to get significant raises if he stays with the company, and it could be a lucrative position in a few years. With that in mind, we applaud steven for keeping his priorities straight and getting back to work. Even though it ended a bit early, we’ll call this a successful family vacation. We didn’t see a hint of the animousity on display between the couple during the show’s last season. Steven has been controversial for his moody attitude and inconsiderate treatment of Olga on the show. We hope all these cute Instagram moments are evidence of a healthy fresh start for the couple. Then again, it’s easy to cultivate the image of a happy family on social media, even if that’s not the reality.  It’s still not clear what’s next for the family once Olga and Alex join Steven in America. We do know Olga won’t be able to work right away. Where will they live? What will they do for money? We don’t even know if they’ll make a return appearance on Happily Ever After? yet.  Hopefully we’ll learn more when  90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? returns later this month.  View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After Season 4 Cast REVEALED!

Colt Johnson: My Divorce is Settled and Larissa Lima Gets …

Earlier this week, we reported that Larissa Lima and Colt Johnson ended their divorce battle with a surprising out-of-court settlement. Coltee’s attorney has issued a statement about this surprisingly amicable resolution. Larissa, in the mean time, had something very different to say. Colt Johnson’s attorney issued a statement to Us Weekly , confirming that the two bitter exes have reached a divorce settlement. “Colt Johnson and Larissa dos Santos Lima have come to settlement terms in their divorce,” the statement begins. “Through their respective attorneys,” Colt’s lawyer states. “They have agreed to settle the case amicably.” This might be their first truly amicable moment in a long, long time. The attorney adds: “with both parties bearing their own fees and costs.” It is unclear if any of the property or money of Larissa’s that Colt and Debbie allegedly kept was returned, or if she has simply written it off. Being Colt Johnson’s attorney, he shared his insight upon his client’s state of mind. “Colt is very pleased that the matter is resolved,” the statement reveals. That makes sense, given that it was Colt who was on the hook. The attorney continues: “and that both parties can move on with their lives.” Larissa had been asking for an equal share of their home’s furnishings, of their shared bank accounts. She was also seeking $1,000 a month in spousal support. “Given the short duration of the marriage,” Colt’s attorney says. Notably, the couple married in June of 2018 and separated (and filed for divorce) in January of 2019. That’s about seven months of a very troubled marriage. “And” the statement continues. “With there being no property matters or custody considerations.” They thankfully had no children together, and apparently made no major purchases together. “The matter should have, and has, settled early in the proceedings,” he opines. “The attorneys are preparing the Stipulated Decree to submit to the Court,” Colt’s attorney reveals. “Which,” he notes. “Will be signed and entered.” There is good news for nosy 90 Day Fiance fans (like ourselves)! If there’s anything interesting in their divorce settlement, it looks like we will all get to see it. The attorney states: “and will then be a matter of public record.” “Colt wishes Larissa the best in her future endeavors,” the statement concludes. Also this week, Larissa marked a major milestone for her fans and followers on Instagram. “Yesterday was one year of my arrival in the United States,” Larissa writes, noting the anniversary. Larissa is the first to admit that she has “learned a lot in the past one year.” She even acknowledges that she “made mistakes.” All jokes aside, even Larissa’s most diehard fans know that marrying Colt was not her only use of poor judgment last year. “But in the end,” Larissa writes. “I’m just grateful for everything.” Though she has previously expressed (at her divorce party, no less) that she regrets having done the show, she also has fond memories. “90 day fiance was a great experience,” Larissa admits. A huge part of what made it positive was her fans. “I love that I connect with people that always support me,” she writes. Larissa says: “They know how much I care.” “I never forgot that my ‘dream’ was juts do to CVS and buy Maybelline or visit Walmart,” Larissa shares. Some folks have humble dreams, or simply odd personal goals when it comes to international travel. “Well,” Larissa writes. “Now my dream is a biggie house with a pool.” Like the one that she had hoped that Colt would have. “Thankfully,” Larissa concludes. “I’ll get it with my own strength.” That is a commendable and positive attitude. She has undergone a tremendous amount of personal growth. View Slideshow: Larissa Lima Assault Trial: 90 Day Fiance BANNED From Courtroom!

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap: Did Cynthia Bailey Lie to Nene Leakes?

Nene Leakes has had a rough season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.  From her random meltdowns to her fights with cancer-stricken husband, Gregg Leakes, we think it’s fair to say she was looking forward to filming for the season ending.  Sunday’s season finale found Leakes upset once again, and it made for some good TV.  Nene’s BFF Cynthia Bailey threw a party to celebrate her cocktail collaboration with Seagram’s Gin. She also invited former housewife, Kenya Moore to the lavish event.  Kenya and Nene have been at war for several years now, and Cynthia didn’t give Nene a heads up, presumably because she knew Nene would flip her $hit.  Nene admitted that she and Kenya did manage to find a way to put the past behind them, and they maintained a friendship throughout the latter’s pregnancy.  Nene was subsequently blindsided when she was left out of Kenya’s baby shower. In true Nene fashion, she did not take the diss well and hit up social media to rant and rave.  Kandi Burruss showed up at the event of the season with Kenya, who was very pregnant. Nene was blindsided and felt betrayed.  Nene was so mad that she refused to let Gregg go up on the stage to speak about his cancer battle, resulting in an awkward scene that really should have been left on the cutting room floor.  Nene and Marlo proved to be the Queens of shade when they made fun of Kenya for the entire night.  Childish? Yes, but it was just par for the course with these two.  The party caused a clear divide between the ladies, but Nene wanted to hash things out in the aftermath.  As such, Cynthia wanted to make sure she was on the “same page” as her friends before meeting Nene.  Kandi said that Kenya wanted her entrance to be a surprise, presumably so that Nene could not pull out at the last second.  Cynthia tried to imply that she did not know Kenya was making a surprise appearance, but she was exposed when some footage from the party confirmed the truth.  “I’m supposed to act like I didn’t know Kenya was coming,” she whispered during the party.    Cynthia then called Kandi, and when the latter answered, she yelled “I’m mic’d.” repeatedly, but that wasn’t enough to shut Cynthia up.  “I just want to make sure we was on the same page setting up how Kenya got there,” she yelled.  Cynthia later maintained her stance that she was in the dark about Kenya to Nene. Nene did not care about Kenya’s surprise appearance, and it was more that Cynthia didn’t tell her she invited her.  “Honestly, after I went to Kenya’s baby shower, I hadn’t really heard from you that much. I’d call you, but you wouldn’t respond. You were being a little distant,” Cynthia told NeNe, adding: “This was my event, NeNe. This was my event. I can invite anybody to my event. The only thing I wanted was for my friends to come on my night, but I didn’t think for one second that you couldn’t be in a room with Kenya.” “Wasn’t I in there?” NeNe shot back, and the back and forth continued until Nene realized that she was incredibly sad about everything.  Cynthia tried to apologize, but Nene seemed done.  “I hope that Cynthia and I are in a good place and that our friendship is as tight as I think it is, but she’s just made me see her in a different light,” NeNe later said in a confessional. “And that light is dim.” As we already know, Nene made her feelings heard by unfollowing most of her cast members, so the reunion should be fun, especially with the footage of Cynthia lying.  RHOA airs Sundays on Bravo.

The Walking Dead Recap: Winter Is Here!

Sunday’s season finale of The Walking Dead was a slow-paced installment that showed viewers how our heroes braved their toughest winter yet.  The episode kicked off with a stunning revelation: The Kingdom was no more, and had fallen in the aftermath of Alpha butchering over ten individuals from the communities.  With a blizzard fast approaching, we learned that the settlement was wrecked as a result of failing pipes, and it was all but burnt to the ground.  The goal of the episode was to weather the storm and lead the Kingdommers to the Hilltop, you know because most of the body count had been people from there.  Months had passed since the pike incident, and Yumiko admitted to Michonne that there was an issue with the managing of all things Hilltop in the aftermath of Tara losing her spot as leader.  There was even a Maggie mention. Lauren Cohan’s alter ego had not been answering any of the letters sent to her, leading them to believe something was amiss.  Would the show really off Maggie off-screen? It’s doubtful.  Then there was Lydia who was struggling to fit in with the groups in the aftermath of Henry’s demise. Alden was all about making her feel unwelcome.  Daryl defended her and even told Carol that Henry saw something in her, so they should honor him by allowing her to stay with them. Carol admitted that she only saw Henry when she looked at Lydia.   With the storm brewing, it emerged that they would have to stay out all night if they wanted to survive.  Ezekiel managed to get Daryl alone and asked him to move on from the Hilltop because he wanted to make a fresh start with Carol in their new digs and that Daryl would just complicate matters.  Daryl seemingly agreed, and everyone decided to rest up in the Sanctuary before they got to the next checkpoint. This storm was really messing with them. Carol and Daryl chatted once there, and Carol wanted to know what Ezekiel said to her BFF. Carol said that Ezekiel wanted to blame Daryl because he didn’t want to blame her.  The former badass admitted that she was losing herself again.  “I’m really trying to hang on, but I don’t know what I’m doing,” she said.  That’s when things got gnarly. The storm was worse than anybody anticipated and they needed to make it to Hilltop that night or they would die trying to get there when the weather got worse.  Carol said they could just walk through the frozen river and be there, but Ezekiel knew that was straight through Alpha’s territory and that it could cause more problems.  “Those borders are hers, not ours,” Carol quipped.  Ezekiel and Michonne went at it because they made a mistake by letting so many people into the Kingdom.  “That woman… was able to walk among us because we didn’t know each other,” she said. “We can never let that happen again.” While that was going down, Lydia disappeared, and Carol told the others to go over the pond while she looked for her.  Zombies emerged from the snow, and things got more deadly … if that was possible.  Carol found Lydia and the teen tried to get Henry’s mom to kill her.  “Everything’s gonna be better when I’m gone,” said the teen, but Carol killed a walker behind her and said that she had a lot of life left to live.  While the residents of Alexandria stayed put, there was a whole lot of drama for them. The solar panels were not working, so the team rallied up in a small house and set a fire.  Negan was with them, and he couldn’t help but poke fun at the love triangle going on between Rosita, Siddiq, Eugene, and Gabriel.  Before we knew it, the fire blew up because the chimney was not cleaned, and the group went on a mission to Aaron’s house.  Judith broke off because Dog escaped, and Negan made it his mission to save the child and her dog. He was injured along the way.  The next morning, our heroes arrived at Hilltop, and Carol called off her engagement to Ezekiel.  “I will never stop loving you,” he said. “And I’ll never regret the fairy tale,” she replied. Carol left Ezekiel behind and went to Alexandria with Michonne and Daryl. Once they arrived, a snowball fight ensued between the two kids and all the adults.  We took another small time jump, and it was spring! The Whisperers were back in their own land, and Beta had some big words.  “The time away has been good for the pack and for you,” Beta told Alpha. “But I’ve made mistakes I can’t make again,” she said. “I’ll need to be stronger for what comes next.” Beta then gave his master a few whacks to inflict some pain on her.  As the episode drew to a close, a staticky message came through the radio, saying “Is anyone out there?” What did you think of the finale? Hit the comments.  The Walking Dead Season 10 gets underway this fall! View Slideshow: The Walking Dead Season 9: What’s About to Go Down?
