Jamie and Doug recap the events of their first gender reveal, which came back as a boy. Twin no.2 was still unknown, since the early gender test can only pick up male or female, not both. Here all about the intimate party they had, the reaction from the kids, and the exciting news of finding out whether they are identical or fraternal. Later in the episode, Jamie dives deep into her past, and talks about the struggle of a toxic home environment, and what helped her mentally move on from constant chaos, to finding a better, safer, and more peaceful mindset. Doug also shares a memory from their first couple weeks together, when he noticed a shift in Jamie’s thinking. The end of the episode covers a recap of the entire season 17 Married at First Sight. The couple does not hold back with their thoughts on the finale, cast, season, and experts. They also share how hopeful they are for more love to be found on the show!
