Total Bellas Island - Total Bellas recap for January 28, 2021

Brie moves to Napa Valley via airplane with Nikki, who will stay home in Los Angeles for the time being to sort things out with Artem.

Brie and Birdie meet with Bryan at the airplane in Napa Valley and move to their new home. Brie says that the new home - which she is seeing in person for the first time - is true to the pictures, and she hopes that Nikki is as lucky with her new home.

At Artem's house, Nikki gets a call from Brie. Nikki says she tried to set up a date with Artem, but it did not go so well as she came off as grumpy, and says that she did not mention what she is going through with Artem because he did not want to stress him out.

At Brie and Bryan's new house, Brie and Bryan talk about getting both of their families to live nearby. Bryan notes that this is nothing new, as Brie and Nikki usually do this.

At Artem's house, Artem returns from Dancing With The Stars. Nikki talks about getting things done and seeing Brie's new house, but Artem wants to stay in Los Angeles. Nikki mentions that she is always alone when Artem is out. Artem mentions that Nikki has yet to see her new house - which Nikki wants to be at for a few weeks - in person.

At Brie and Bryan's house, Nikki shows up to visit and check out the house as well as to get some time away from Los Angeles. Nikki notes she is tired, but Brie says they will be able to see each other every day soon enough.

Brie, Nikki and JJ spend time together in Napa Valley. Brie and Nikki try to get JJ to move to Napa, but JJ feels he cannot get a house in Napa. As for Kathy, JJ says that Kathy is "an Arizona girl." Nikki gets a call from Artem, and mentions that she has yet to see her new home. Nikki says she is sacred of having "buyer's remorse" and the house not being what she expected it to be.

Brie, Nikki and JJ see Nikki's new home in person for the first time. The three of them agree that the house looks ugly, and Nikki feels the house is worse than what she had in Phoenix.



Brie, Nikki and JJ go wine tasting. As JJ uses the bathroom, Brie and Nikki try to fool JJ into drinking breast milk, but JJ catches on. After Nikki tells Artem they made a mistake, Nikki finds a house that she feels would be perfect for Kathy, and everyone is impressed. As they check the house out, Kathy calls, but Kathy is not interested.

Brie and Nikki check out some grapes at the Hill Valley Estates Vineyard. Nikki tells Brie she has not talked with Artem yet, and says that she regrets trying to make Artem after he was cut from Dancing With The Stars and resents that he is happy and she is not. Nikki says she is exhausted, and has the feeling that she and Artem are not meant to be even though she wants to make it work. Brie is concerned, as she has never seen her sister in such a bad way. As Nikki leaves to feed Matteo, Brie feels Artem has yet to figure out what is going on, and calls Artem to tell him about the post-partum depression and why she has yet to tell him. Artem feels frustrated with himself because he did not see the signs that Nikki was depressed and does not want Nikki to feel like she is right now.

Brie, Nikki and JJ are spending time together when Artem sends a text message saying that if Nikki wants him to quit Dancing With The Stars, he can. Brie admits she told Artem about Nikki's post-partem depression, and Nikki gets upset at Brie for butting into her relationship, saying she wanted to tell Artem herself before walking off. JJ tells Brie that she should have let Nikki handle things on her own, given that she is in a fragile state.



At Nikki's hotel room, JJ shows up. He agrees that Brie overstepped her boundaries, then says Artem will understand if she tells him.

Brie and Nikki check out a potential wine tasting room. They apologize to each other over the call to Artem.

At Nikki's house, Artem suddenly shows up. Artem tells Nikki he did not quit the show, and decided to spend his day off to spend time with Nikki. Nikki tells Artem about her post-partum depression and having to spend time alone at home with Matteo, as well as resenting Artem for being happy while she is not. She says that she did not want to stress Artem out, but Artem tells Nikki she should have told him and that he will always put family first, and apologizes for making Nikki feel neglected.



Brie, Bryan and Birdie do some yoga. Bryan asks Brie if she will be okay while he is gone. Brie says she will be okay, and that she will not pressure anybody in the family to move to Napa.

Four weeks later at Brie and Bryan's house, Nikki and Artem show up with the Dancing With The Stars mirrorball trophy. Brie looks back on the journeys that she, Nikki, Kathy and Artem went through throughout the season. Nikki announces she and Artem will get married around Thanksgiving 2021. Brie and Nikki then look back from becoming professional wrestlers to becoming businesspeople and mothers as the sixth season of the show comes to a close.
