Total Bellas Island - Total Bellas recap for April 2, 2020

The show starts with a preview of Season 5.

Nikki talks about her relationship with Artem, saying that it has been "a whirlwind" but that it has been worth it, as she has never had such a passionate connection with anyone like she has had with Artem.

At Brie and Bryan's house, Brie looks at a pregnancy test as part of her attempts to have a second child while juggling multiple business opportunities.

At Artem's House in Los Angeles, California, Artem and Nikki make Russian food. Nikki cannot believe that she is in a very good relationship with Artem while building a home next to Brie's.

At Brie and Bryan's house, Brie finds out she is not pregnant. Bryan is not expecting to have a second child right away.

At Artem's house, Artem and Nikki mention their previous marriages and find out that they have plenty in common. Artem says that it felt very comfortable to be around Nikki during Dancing With The Stars, and says that the show is a place that gives him purpose and allows him to be very creative.

Two days later, Artem has been cut from Dancing With The Stars. With no job, Artem cannot maintain his current lifestyle, and Nikki offers him the option to move in with her.

At Brie and Bryan's house, Artem takes part in the Bellas' weekly podcast. Artem calls being cut from Dancing With The Stars "an absolute shock," and says that the hardest part of it all is the fact that the show has helped other people feel fulfilled. When Nikki and Brie answer fan questions and one comes up about Nikki's move to Phoenix, Nikki says that the she wants Artem to move in with her. Artem loves the idea. Nikki feels bad for Artem. Brie says she wants Nikki a place she feels she can call her own.



Brie, Nikki and Artem check out Nikki's new house. Nikki sees the career that she has built in the house. Brie asks Nikki if she feels that the new house is pushing her relationship with Artem forward, but Nikki feels everything happens for a reason. Brie doesn't want Nikki to make a big mistake regarding this.



In New York City, Brie and Nikki go bike riding while in the city to launch a new cosmetic line. They then have a picnic in the park while having a break between projects. Brie says that having a second child has been hard due to all the other projects she has been working on and being a career woman, and says that she cannot imagine having a second child after juggling everything with one, and cannot imagine giving up her career to do it.



Nikki and Brie take part in the launch party for Nicole and Brizee, their new cosmetics line and the third business they have started together. Brie says it is harder to find balance.

Nikki and Brie go to The Russian Tea Room with friends. They bring up the manliness of their significant others, then learn how to say some naughty words in Russian. In a FaceTime conversation at the tea room, Artem calls and recommends learning some good Russian words for when Nikki meets his mother. Nikki's plans to have Artem to move in with her are brought up, and are also questioned due to Artem recently being cut from Dancing With The Stars, fearing that he may be moving in out of convenience rather than love and that Nikki and Artem may be moving too fast and making decisions based on their careers.

In Phoenix, Arizona, Brie talks with Kathy about Artem and Nikki's plans to move in together on the way to an OB/GYN office, where she brings up what has been going on concerning her and Bryan's attempts to get pregnant as well as Bryan wanting a son. The doctor - as well as Kathy - tells her that if she wants a baby, she should do it for herself and that it is okay to have only one child.

At Artem's house, Brie finds out that her dog Josie is in the hospital after suffering a seizure. She soon gets a message from Bryan saying that Josie did not make it. Brie and Bryan mourn the loss of Josie.

At Brie and Bryan's house, even Winston is affected by Josie's death. Bryan admits that he had relied so much on Josie and did not realize it until she was gone. Brie feels that she will hurt Bryan's feelings when she tells him that she doesn't want to go for a second child, especially now that Josie's death has hit him hard.

Bryan packs up for the road again. He remembers the last picture he took of Josie, which was of Josie sitting in his suitcase. Brie says that Josie's passing has made her realize that there is something lacking in their marriage, and Bryan admits that Brie cannot be everything for him in her marriage, which makes Josie's death even harder. Brie feels like she should be doing these things, and tells Bryan that she does not want a second child and that she likes what they already have. Bryan says it feels a little unfair for her to say that before he sits in a plane for six hours, but Brie says she felt the need to get that out. She admits that she feels horrible, and says that they should communicate about their unhappiness in their marriage. Bryan says that Brie has gotten upset in past attempts and that he has tried to work things out on his own, but Brie says it doesn't work unless it is a team effort. It soon becomes obvious that there are some issues that Brie and Bryan need to work out in their marriage.



In Los Angeles, Nikki and Artem go shopping for lingerie. This is the first time he has ever been in a lingerie shop. Nikki tries some lingerie on, and afterwards, Nikki asks Artem if he thinks they are moving too fast in their relationship. Artem says he doesn't know and thaat they won't know for sure unless they try, and Nikki feels like she made a mistake asking him that question. Artem admits that Nikki caught him off-guard, but Artem tells Nikki that he respects her decision.

At SmackDown Live in San Francisco, California, Bryan has a match with Erick Rowan. Bryan admits that leaving home on a point where he and Brie are in a rough patch is hard, and that they are farther apart in their relationship than they have ever been before.

At Brie and Bryan's house, Bryan returns home. Bryan apologizes for reacting aggressively to Brie not wanting a second child, and Brie apologizes for springing that on him before he went on the road. Bryan says that he feels even more lonely than before without Josie, and that there would be more love to go around with a second child. He also says that with the way their lives are right now, it would be more practical to have one child. Brie is happy that she and Bryan are on the same page.
