Amber Portwood is looking ahead to the future with her new boyfriend, but her past is coming back to haunt her. On this week's Teen Mom OG, Portwood has moved on with a new man despite still having drama with her ex-fiancé Matt Baier.

On the episode, Portwood explained she is not visiting Baier in Las Vegas anymore because she has been talking to Andrew Glennon, who she met on Marriage Boot Camp.

"He's coming out for a few days just to hang out and get to know each other," she explained. "He related to my story, he wasn't trying to f**k me. I want to meet him first off camera so I could get a feel for him and see if it's anything I want to pursue."

Their meeting went well, as he soon met producers.

"I got to learn a lot about her on the show," Glennon explained. "The first day of filming I was in the interview room with her and that's when I learned the most. I tried to place myself in the house where you were because I wanted to learn more about you."

Portwood's baby daddy Gary Shirley revealed she hasn't seen their daughterLeah because she has been depressed over Baier.

Shirley explained to his wife, "She owes me child support. She owes me $9,600. Amber is not there. She is a come and go kind of mom. I don't think her head is in kid mode."

But now that she's in better spirits with Glennon, she reached out to Shirley to see Leah.

She explained to Shirley about her absence, "That was the Matt situation because we completely broke up. I got pretty bad. I didn't want to be around Leah like that. I just wasn't feeling very well. I just now started dating. I don't want to cry in front of her. I don't want her to see me like this. I'm starting to get better."

When Shirley asked if she has heard from Baier, she revealed he has threatened to commit suicide.

"He keeps begging me everyday," she said. "He's going to kill himself. He'll send me pictures of pills. I'm not going back to him."

Also on the episode, Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra see their oldest daughterCarly, who they placed for adoption, for the first time in two years.

"She was bawling her eyes out," Baltierra said of his wife. "It sucks that we were so young and it sucks our parents sucked. You're selfish when you're 16. I had a feeling this trip was going to be tough on her."

Baltierra then said of their youngest daughter Nova, "To see them together and know they're not going to grow up together. Watching her go away. It almost doesn't feel right."

Maci Bookout's baby daddy Ryan Edwards continued to refuse a drug test after going to rehab for heroin.

"I'm still not letting Bentley go over there," she said of Edwards and his parents' home. "I've done more than I could possibly do. Bentley hasn't said anything about Ryan, but I know he is wondering when he'll be able to see mimi and papa. It's hurting him and them."
