'Teen Mom Finale Special Part II' Recap: Maci and Dalis Fight
Last night MTV aired the second part of its "Teen Mom Finale Special" which featured the stories of Maci Bookout and Gary Shirley, who represented the imprisoned Amber Portwood.
Bookout appeared with her baby's father, Ryan Edwards, his girlfriend Dalis, and Bookout's current boyfriend Kyle King. Even though Bookout said that she and King were no longer together on the show, they are, in fact, back together. King recently tweeted that everything was fine between him and Bookout.
It was a tense moment when all four were together, made worse by an on-air fight between Bookout and Dalis.

"I didn't know a lot of things on-camera were being said," Dalis immediately said. She was quite upset at comments made by Bookout in reference to her dating Ryan and going on vacation with him so soon after dating.
"I just want Ryan to have equal custody," Dalis explained. She was supportive of him seeking 50-50 custody.
"If she had a child, she would feel differently," Bookout responded. "I just feel like when I come to pick Bentley up, you and Ryan sit on the couch and don't speak to me. I've been patient and it's just gotten nowhere."
"I understand completely, and I told Ryan and his family that I would always respect him. You sent Ryan a text saying 'You'd have a better time with me,'" Dalis alleged.
Bookout then revealed that Ryan had called and wanted to come over to her room because he had had a fight with Dalis, which he denied.
"I can't be there with you guys today … right now I'm trying to figure out what to do with my life. I guess I got lost. I had an addiction to opiates … I'm not a normal 21-year-old, I'm a mother," a statement from Portwood said. "My number one priority is to sobriety and being a sober person."
"Amber and I are currently not together, and I don't think we'll ever be together again," Shirley said. He has had custody of Leah for a little over one year now, and said he regrets that Amber has not "stepped up as a mother."
