Love After Lockup season 5 episode 34 - Zeruiah calls Troy's mom without telling him
Zeruiah and Troy got together
After their first time together, Zeruiah, 32, told Troy, 29, that she talked to his mom and that she was coming. She also told Troy to pick his mom, which he didn’t seem so sure of. However, Zeruiah was confident of her decision to call his mom.
"This will be one step in the right direction," shared Zeruiah.
She also added that if he can’t have a good relationship with his mother, how can he have good relationships with other women?
"Yeah, but what if that’s something that I wasn’t ready to do," asked Troy.
He also expressed how she could just “take it upon herself” to do something like that and decide something for him. He couldn’t understand why she made such a decision by herself.
In her defense, Zeruiah shared that because Troy didn’t have anyone else from his side of the family and friends, she thought she could bring his mother to share the moment.
Troy shared in the confessional that when he was 2 or 3 years old, his mother dropped him at one of her friend’s houses, and she never came back.
"At that time, I didn’t understand it. I didn’t know what I was going through at such a young age. Nobody’s gonna love you like your mother does." I don’t know what that feels like," shared Troy.
Despite his feelings, Troy told Zeruiah that he would give it a try. He confessed that he grew up on and off in foster care while his aunt helped raise him.
Later in the episode, Joey went to pick up his mom at the railway station. Karen, his mom, was happy to see her son after all these years. She also apologized to Joey about the past.
Joey and Kim spent time together
Love After Lockup season 5 episode 34 also featured Kim, 28, expressing her happiness at spending time with Joey after he was released from prison.
"In 2018, my ex cheated on me. We weren’t married yet, but we still lived in the same house."
She later found Troy and learned about her pregnancy with her ex’s baby. So she left Joey and got back together with her ex, eventually marrying him. However, she mentioned that FIRs continued with her ex, and she could not be together anymore.
Joey later shared in the confessional that someone named Ashley texted him and told him that Kim was still with her ex. He also mentioned how Kim’s ex messaged her earlier about wanting to get back and expressed his concerns.
LaTisha receives news about Keith’s release
LaTisha, 37, received a note from the Scott County Sheriff’s Department at her door. She talked to her aunt and learned that Keith could be released a month before the date.
"All these emotions, all these preparations, I’m so stressed out. Keith and I have never been together on the streets," shared LaTisha.
Later in Love After Lockup, LaTisha called a helpdesk number to get details regarding Keith’s release. The person on the other end, from the helpdesk, mentioned that several motions were filed for Keith’s release. She was notified to contact their private attorney/ public defender for “further clarification.”
"It currently just reads, ‘not applicable here, N/A’", shared the helpdesk.
When she was not satisfied with the answer, she inquired further. She then received news that Keith won’t be released before his original DOC date.
The latest episode of Love After Lockup season 5 ended with LaTisha calling their attorney, Ben, multiple times, but he was unavailable, and she was unhappy about it.
