Eva & Jonathan with Ariane & Vinne Road Trip Nightmare

Eva Marie and Johnathan are packing up their place to move back to California. They (meaning Eva) decided to do a couple’s road trip and invited Ariane and Vinnie.

Ariane, Eva and Johnathan are getting ready for their road trip. Jonathan let's them know he made itineraries for all of them and hands them out schedules for their bathroom breaks. They pick Vinnie up from the airport and begin driving from Florida to California. They stop at a farmer’s museum, Ariane and Eva are trying to take selfies with the tractors, but Johnathan gets upset because they are wasting too much time.

Eva and Johnathan’s road trip hits another snag when they realize that there is an event in Mobile, Alabama and all of the motels are sold out. They manage to score one room, one bed to share at a weird motel, the concierge says that she will leave directions for their room in the lock box on the porch. They arrive and realize it is a historic mansion. Ariane thinks it looks like a haunted house, and Johnathan jokes that he feels like they are in an episode of Scooby Doo.

Ariane, Vinnie, Jonathan and Eva pull over at a truck stop to stretch their legs. While Ariane and Vinnie are in the store, Eva and Johnathan get in a fight. She says he needs to loosen up and have some fun, but Johnathan let's her know that the reason he is so stressed is because she has put all of the work load of their move on him.

Eva, Johnathan, Ariane and Vinnie’s road trip goes from bad to worse when both couples wind up in a screaming match. They decide that they are just going to hire movers and book flights the rest of the way to California. They all apologize to each other for their huge fight.

Brie & Bryan Money Management

Brie tells the girls her and  Bryan were robbed when they pulled up to the house and caught an intruder, Bryan chased him through the neighbor’s lawns and tackled him and held him down until the police arrive.

 Brie receives a phone call from Mark Carrano and he tells her that she and Bryan are invited to the Teen Choice Awards. Brie is excited and when she hangs up she announces that they have to go shopping and buy outfits for the red carpet. Bryan shuts her down and tells her that she had plenty of dresses that she can wear in her closet.

Brie and Nikki go out to lunch with their mom and brother to celebrate Mom's 50th birthday. Brie didn't buy her mom a birthday present so she insists on paying the bill. After dinner they are walking to the car and Bryan calls her because he got an alert on his phone that she spent $400 at the restaurant and they are supposed to be discussing major purchases as a couple.

Brie rants to her friends that Bryan has been tracking her spending on his phone, and he won’t even let her buy a new dress for the Teen Choice Awards. Her friends can totally relate and agree that when you are a celebrity you have to spend money on clothes and your appearance.

Brie and Nikki head to a coffee house after a day of shopping. Once they sit down to drink their coffee Bryan calls Brie and wants to know what “The Grind” is. She explains it is a coffee house, and he wants to know why she spent $22 on coffee. Brie is starting to loose her mind with Bryan monitoring every penny she is spending, it makes her feel like he doesn't trust her.

Brie and Bryan are getting ready for the Teen Choice Awards, Brie puts on a new dress and tells Bryan that she had to have Nikki buy it for her because she knew he would freak out on her for spending money. She explains that she needs to spend money to maintain her brand as a celebrity and he needs to trust her more because she doesn't waste money. After the Teen Choice Awards Bryan confesses to Brie that she was right, and after she walked the red carpet with him he can tell how important it was for her to have a new dress.

Bryan was a little money managing crazy but did come around to Brie's way of thinking by the end of it all.
