Gus Smyrnios' Montana vacation is turning out to be a nightmare. He picked up more fights than he can handle. Naturally, the reality TV star feels cornered and pushed to the wall, while his friends enjoy what the new city has to offer.

Even though they were concerned about Gus' several outbursts, of which some were violent, it's only so much they could have done. Candace Rice's patience was tested when Gus "stole" her hairdryer. She expected him to apologize, instead, he popped off on her, which resulted in a toxic fight.

What followed was another display of aggression, which saw Gus leave the house. By then he was over Candace's accusations and concerned how Kirk Medas and Codi Butts left him to fight his own battle. They were in the hall mixing cocktails. The house was blissfully unaware of Gus' exit until it dawned on them that they were missing a member. In the preview for next week, we see the cast members call 911 and report Gus missing. There's more to that story.

Talking to TooFab, the cast dished on how they finally found Gus. Jeremiah Buoni, Codi, and Kirk jumped in a van to look for him, Nilsa confirmed while Jeremiah added: "And then Amy and Candace were waiting for Gus' parents or somebody to call the house. So it was basically, everybody was out and also production as well," and continued: "I mean, we had security guards in a van, we had camera crew in another, literally just going over the entire town, looking for this kid, just spread out across the state." It took them five hours to hunt Gus down.



 

Meanwhile, fans have weighed in with their two cents on the matter. Many didn't want him to return to the show.

"Low key wish Gus wouldn’t come back.. bye bitch #MTVFloribamaShore," a fan commented, while another shared: "Next week is definitely gonna be a search and rescue cuz if Gus doesn’t get his stuff together, he’s going to make his life worse. Praying things will get better next week. Have a wonderful weekend Nilsa. #MTVFloribamaShore." "But for real, I hope Gus doesn’t do anything stupid on his bitch fit run away from home. #MTVFloribamaShore," one user tweeted.
