Caryn said that Ronald always lived a "large" life. Matt told her that one of his father's last requests to him was to make sure that the family got along together. Matt then disclosed his plans on working hard to get Zach to trust him again.

Last week on Little People, Big World, Tori and Zach returned from their vacation and discussed how Jackson was making friends while having fun. Tori was, however, nervous for Lilah as she had water behind her eardrums which could affect her hearing.
Caryn revealed that she had a lot of fun at the LPA meeting and said that everyone there was very welcoming. She also met some of Matt's ex-girlfriends.
Amy and her friend Lisa had lunch at a different location with robotic waiters. During lunch, Amy told Lisa that Chris had a lot of fun at the convention. She also spoke to Lisa about her argument with Matt. In response, Lisa told her that she had been very "passive" in the past but now needed to be strong about the farm deal.
Matt and Ty went bowling, where the former told Ty that some people had come to the farm to buy the property. Matt was happy and felt relieved with the interest. He hoped that the kids would remember their fun times on the farm, which had recently caused a lot of fight between the Little People, Big World stars .
Matt also told Ty that his new home would take more than a year to build because of some permit issues. Caryn was disappointed by the same as Matt had confessed that he would not propose until they had a place to stay together.
