16 and Pregnant: Reunited

**16 and Pregnant: Reunited** is the seventh and final episode in the first season of 16 and Pregnant. It aired on April 4, 3004.

## Summary

Five of the moms featured in season one reunite and discuss the episodes, as well as reveal never-before-seen exclusive content.

## Plot

Established television hostess Tiana Llywelyn introduces the audience to the five mothers starring in season one before revealing updates on each individual child. She states that, for safety reasons, none of the children featured are in attendance of the reunion show, but they were all shown via webcam during the reunion show. She also addresses the scandals surrounding Marlow Blum and confirms she is not going to be attending, but informs everyone that her baby is "happy and healthy".

First up is Daphne Pontecorvo, joined by her mother Juana. Daphne discusses life as a young mom, saying that she maintained a 3.8 GPA during the past school year and is on track to graduate as expected. She recently received a raise at work and has been promoted to a shift lead at the coffee shop she works. Juana Pontecorvo admits that she has been hard on Daphne, knowing the struggle of being a mom too young, but cherishes the moments she gets with her granddaughter as well.

Next, Emalia Travere is joined by both her girlfriend Aleeza and her ex-boyfriend Titus. Emalia and Titus argue over parenting responsibilities, while Aleeza attempts to play the mediator. Tiana states that it seems as if neither Emalia or Titus have enough "emotional maturity" to handle co-parenting, while Aleeza defends both parties. Aleeza reveals that she's known Titus for years longer than she's known Emalia and that Titus is too used to being in control of every situation. Emalia, on the other hand, is a "diva" and a "control freak" at times, which is why the two have clashed for so long. Emalia addresses her sexuality once and for all, saying that she is happily labeled as a bisexual, which receives a round of applause from the audience.

Following a commercial break, Dr. Alison Yao is on stage with Tiana to address the growing rates of teen pregnancy. She advocates for safer sexual education programs available to all Teen Sims, as well as discussions with parents regarding birth control as soon as one becomes sexually active. Tiana discusses a pregnancy scare she had as a Teen.

Sheena Kroll later discusses her "complicated" relationship with on-again, off-again boyfriend Leandro. She says that the two ended their engagement and are back and forth on whether they are an official couple still, after having discovered Leandro's infidelity. However, Sheena says that she is no longer looking for a committed relationship, feeling comfortable in her own support system either way. She announces "upcoming projects" for herself, hinting at a potential acting career thanks to her newfound fame from *16 and Pregnant*.

Therese Gould's segment is about her relationship with her father and their growth from where they were prior to the end of her episode and to where they are now. While their segment is relatively short, Mei Rivera's segment with boyfriend James is lively and lengthy, as they discuss their relationship becoming "stronger than ever" through the filming and airing of their episode. Mei announces that she is releasing an EP at the end of the following month to all streaming services, featuring a rewrite of her popular song "Romeo's Lullaby".

Sergio Brannon takes the stage briefly to "speak his truth" regarding the controversy surrounding ex-girlfriend Marlow Blum, but he is awkwardly removed after rambling for too long. Breaking up the weirdness, all the teen moms rejoin on stage and talk to each other face-to-face for the first time, revealing some hidden secrets from the production of the show. Emalia and Daphne point out that while most of the moms have yet to meet in person, they've all kept in close contact with each other over social media, including Marlow. Therese pokes fun at Marlow's situation while Emalia says that Marlow is dramatic at times, but usually has good intentions.

The episode ends with a slideshow of baby photos from all six of the first season's children, with a sneak peek at the second season.
