Ultimately, despite Iris’ wish to stay married, Keith decided he thought it best that they get divorced. He chalked it up to her relationship inexperience, and although she was visibly upset, Iris claimed she was at peace with his choice.

In a revelation for the ages, Amber outs Matt’s bad behavior during their Decision Day session. She refers back to her friend’s claim that he saw Matt leave a bar with another girl, but she shared some new information we didn’t previously know. Apparently Matt had been pursuing more than one woman outside of their marriage after Amber was shown text messages by a friend at her work. Humiliated and upset, she said she wanted it to work out, but divorce was their best option. Thankfully, Matt agreed.

The best part of Matt and Amber’s session was the expert’s visible disgust over the situation. They asked Matt why he’d behave that way, and while his answers were deflective at best, the outrage seen in Dr. Pepper, Pastor Roberson and Dr. Viviana’s eyes mirrored our own.
Their Brand of Crazy

After spending much of the season in volatile fights, Elizabeth and Jamie reflected on the cons of staying together but decided the positive outweighed the negative. After essentially calling each other crazy, it’s clear that they’re each other’s type of crazy because they appeared to be thrilled with their surprising decision.

In a confessional scene, he says he wished he never did the show.
