Teen Mom 2 is in an interesting position as the show enters its ninth season.
One of its stars is still making constant tabloid headlines, and yet to watch the show, you'd think her life is more stable than ever.
That's because David Eason has been fired from the series, and as a result, all of Jenelle Evans' scenes are filmed far away from her property and feature forced dialogue with the mother that Jenelle has despised for most of her adult life.
Elsewhere in the cast, the moms are growing up and settling down -- which is great for them, but potentially disastrous for a show that previously thrived on conflict and drama.
It's the beginning of a transitional period for one of reality cable's most popular reality shows -- and it remains to be seen what awaits Teen Mom 2 on the other side.
Take a look:
