When an episode starts with a bloody knife found in the kitchen, you don't think it's going to lead to a break up where both people still care for each other. After a series of harrowing incidents that lead to one of them serving time in jail, how can this week's interviewee still have so much love for her ex? We'll dive into the story when we break down this week's break up.
