'Life After Lockup': Malcolm suspects Sarah of having feelings for Michael, fans say he is 'asking right questions'

'Yes, Malcolm you are revenge. He sees right through the bullshit. If its really about the kids, stop wasting your breath trying to communicate w/ Mike and put him on child support and that'll be the end of your 'stress' and emotional breakdowns,' a fan wrote

Sarah has a lot on her plate – a pending divorce and two kids to look after. Not entirely sure if she thought through before getting into a relationship with Malcolm, who is not pleased to see how Michael (Sarah's unofficial ex-husband) manages to slip in and out of Sarah's life easily. In this week's episode of 'Life After Lockup,' Michael visited his kids in a teddy bear suit to surprise them. Soon after he left, Michael and Sarah had a chat about her unique situation. The intent was to tie loose ends but she seemed emotionally overwhelmed to contribute to the exercise. Throughout the conversation, she was more focused on making Malcolm believe that she doesn't have feelings for Michael but she does care that he's their kids' father and that's why she's attached to him. 

However, Malcolm made a simple point that she needs to emotionally cut off Michael if she wishes to move on in life. He even asked if he was being used as a "revenge" for what Michael did to her. But Sarah made it evident that she had no such intentions and is perfectly capable of handle two completely different relationships all by herself.

Malcolm didn't seem convinced and told the producers that if she ever wishes to move on, she must work on her current relationship with Michael, possibly hinting that his presence in her life is holding her back. 

Meanwhile, fans are celebrating Malcolm and the fact that he has been able to size up the situation correctly. "Yes, Malcolm you are revenge. He sees right through the bullshit #loveafterlockup #lifeafterlockup if its really about the kids, stop wasting your breath trying to communicate w/ Mike and put him on child support and that'll be the end of your "stress" and emotional breakdowns," a user tweeted, while another shared: "Malcolm is speaking the facts. I think Sarah used him to get back at Michael for revenge. #LoveAfterLockup #LifeAfterLockup."



 



 

"Malcolm is asking all the right questions and sizing up the situation accurately. You’re revenge, Malcolm. #lifeafterlockup #loveafterlockup," a fan commented, while another pointed out: "Malcolm knows how to converse & be calm and Sarah knows how to be emotional and raise her voice. Not sure this will last long. #LifeAfterLockup #loveafterlockup." "Malcolm is asking Sarah valid questions. Sarah has to cut to the ties legally asap or she's never going to be free. Once there is a custody/visitation order Michael has no choice but to follow it. #loveafterlockup #lifeafterlockup," a viewer expressed.
