Addressing Katie's comments, Jax said, "Katie loves to f-cking just start sh-t. That's what she does. She sits at home, she plays on her phone, reads something on Reddit or some bullsh-t gossip thing and she'll tell Scheana, tell Lala, and she'll start the rumor train. That's what she does."

While Katie, Lala, and Scheana were discussing the notion that "people stay, people get married, [and] people have babies" even when they're not happy in their relationships, Scheana used Brittany and Jax as an example. "Look at Jax and Brittany," she said, noting she "could not believe" they got married after Jax was unfaithful.
