She took to Instagram and posted on her story that she was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery and spent her birthday in the emergency room. She was seen wearing a blue hospital gown with a pale face and IV hooked to her. 

She mentioned that she had, a "bowel blockage. Severe Cramping. Came into the ER and they saw I had this blockage." 

She mentioned that the doctors informed her that she needed surgery. She also mentioned how random it was because it was scar tissue from an appendectomy she had when she was just 18 years old. She finally wished everybody a happy new year before ending the video.

Gerry broke Leslie's heart. It was not a week when Gerry told Leslie that he couldn't live without her. However, things turned upside down when Gerry went on a fantasy date with Theresa and fell for her. 

Gerry mentioned that he was in love with both of them and introduced them to the family. However, things weren't the same as Gerry seemed confused and lost between the two women. 

Later, in the evening Leslie expressed her feelings for Gerry, however, he didn't say the same. The next day, Gerry finally confronts Leslie and breaks with her stating he is in love with Theresa.
