While Tyra Boisseau was at college getting a graduation degree, her boyfriend Alex Wilson was looking after their daughter Layla. In the last episode, we saw Tyra was coming back to see her boyfriend and her daughter for the weekend but it got interrupted due to heavy rain.

Tyra and Alex’s relationship also seemed to be under strain as Tyra was telling her friend that she was looking forward to going to Miami for the college event without Alex. Alex admitted that whenever she was out having fun, a small part of him felt jealous thinking she might be with another guy but he tries not to think about it because it hurts him.



 

When Tyra finally did come home to spend time with Layla, she did exactly that. She didn’t pay any heed to Alex or ask him how he was doing. Alex later confessed that a little, “Hey, What’s up?” would be nice. Alex later told her he had made plans for them to go out on a date and spend a little time together while his grandmother looked after Layla, but Tyra said she had come to spend time with their daughter so she would rather do that. 

Viewers feel Tyra doesn’t understand what a wonderful support system she has and that she should be more grateful. One wrote on Facebook, “I think homegurl is off living her best life in college and not worried about her baby father. She should be glad she has an opportunity to have a great support system and if she don't wanna be with him she need to just say that.” Another wrote, “I understand Tyra misses her daughter and all, but the way she was towards Alex here is so messed up while he was talking about how much he misses her. I feel so bad for him. He seems like such a sweetheart.”



 

Another viewer felt Tyra might already be entertaining someone new and is therefore trying to keep a distance from Alex. “I don’t think Tyra realizes how good of a bf she has because most men would not be a stay at home dad while the mom is in college she’s going to Be butt hurt when Alex finds someone else and he needs to she don’t deserve him I personally think she’s already entertaining somebody new.”

Alex confesses to Tyra that he really missed her and would like to take her out. He further told her in the confession round that while she was out having fun in college, he was looking after their daughter all the time and that he too deserved to have some fun. Before Alex told her that it was as if Tyra had no idea about what Alex might be feeling. She said that Alex completely understood that she had a tough schedule. The fact that Alex missed her and wanted to spend time with her came to her at an inconvenient time, as she wasn’t really in the mood to hang out with Alex.

Another viewer wrote, “Tyra you can be a mother, and be a partner with a lovely Alex. Remember you are in college because he is helping you, because you mother and sister are always complaining about you be in college. Show so love to Alex because many men come and be, but the one that love you and help you is rare.”
