Episode Details

It’s Season 7, Episode 7 of Love During Lockup, and "A Messy Conundrum" is officially living up to its name. The snark squad is diving deep into Ayesha’s massive web of lies, as she finally admits to her daughter—who just happens to be a corrections officer—that her "boyfriend" Mikhael isn't just away on business, but is actually serving 999 years behind bars. While Ayesha grapples with that staggering math, Emily is busy getting ambushed by Justin’s exes, who claim she’s being drained for cash while Justin plays the field from his cell. Not to be outdone in the "what were you thinking" department, the internet is having a field day with Monique, who just moved her entire life to a new state for Titus, a controlling inmate she’s never actually met in person. Between Bonita flipping the script on Damond’s family and the blatant financial exploitation masquerading as romance, we’re asking: are these ladies in love, or are they just the ultimate "pen pal" marks?
