Recap of Siesta Key: Miami Moves season 5, episode 8
MTV's description of the episode reads:
"When Juliette returns from Greece, she discovers how much has changed with her friends; Jordana's mum visits; Sam strives to show her how much Jordana means to him; Kelsey has big news about her future with the group."
This week on Siesta Key: Miami Moves, Jordana spoke to Madisson about missing her baby brother Brenden, who passed away when he was 15. She told Madisson that Brenden used to draw turtles as a child, and her mother, Rosa, had stored them all together in her house.
Rosa revealed that her son's ashes were under the sea in the shape of a starfish. Sam offered his help to take Jordana and Rosa to the exact space where Brenden's ashes lay.
Chloe informed Juliette that Amanda had borrowed one of Sam's shirts. She also told Juliette that Amanda spent a night at Sam's house and slept in the guest room. Sam and Juliette used to date in the past.
Juliette was angry at Amanda because of this and felt that Amanda did not follow the girl code. When Juliette confronted Amanda about the same, she refused to apologize. Juliette told her not to cross the line as a friend, while Amanda said she just hung out with her friend, and nothing happened.
Sam also tried to confront Chloe, who was complaining to everyone about his partying lifestyle. Chloe's husband, Chris, threatened to physically fight Sam and asked him to walk away. Chloe also stated that she did not want to say anything to Sam.
