How to Watch
The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys airs on Bravo on Mondays at 9/8c. Episodes available next day on Peacock.
Calah Jackson has never really gotten along with Steven McBee Jr.’s family — more specifically, his brothers Jesse, Cole, and Brayden McBee — but her relationship with Cole reaches a new low in this shocking preview for The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys Season 2, Episode 5 (which airs Monday, July 28).
The video above shows Calah and the McBee boys hanging out at the Lake of the Ozarks as part of the McBee family vacation Kristi McBee planned on Episode 4, and drops us in the middle of a heated exchange between Cole and Calah about Steven Jr.
“You have had it harder than us,” Cole begins, referring to Calah’s upbringing. “You have done good with your life too. Both [you and Steven Jr.] have done really good things for yourself.”
“Steven has not had it easy,” he continues. “He’s had to deal with things at a younger age that he never should’ve dealt with.”
“Same,” Calah responds. “But I didn’t get a condo and a house out of it.”
Cole doesn’t agree with the Dallas native’s statement. “No, you did,” he insists. “And you moved to Dallas with a free apartment and you’re moving back to Dallas with my mom paying for your apartment with everything, so don’t talk like that, please.” (Cole is referring to Calah’s plans to move back to Dallas post-breakup. On Episode 4, she asked Steven Jr. to be a co-signer for her future apartment, but it was actually Kristi who ended up agreeing to help.)

Why Cole McBee is upset with Calah Jackson
Calah, clearly hurt by Cole’s words, says that she doesn’t believe he knows the full story. As she puts it, “If you knew what you were talking about, you wouldn’t be saying that.”
Cole’s response? “If you knew what you were talking about you would be loving him and you wouldn’t be getting sent back to f—king Dallas where you f—king belong, so the fact that you try to take away from Steven and the fact that you talk s—t about him all the time pisses me the f—k off.”
“He is a bad motherf—ker, he does so much s—t, and you would be nowhere without him,” Cole adds as he walks away from Calah. “You wouldn’t be anywhere in your f—king life. So don’t talk s—t about my brother one more f—king time.”
The dad-to-be elaborates on his anger in a confessional interview. “When it comes to my brothers and I, we can trash talk each other, but no one else outside of the family can be saying the things that she was saying,” he declares.

Does Steven McBee Jr. side with Calah Jackson or his brother Cole?
After Cole walks off, Calah turns her attention to Steven McBee Jr., who watched the entire exchange. “What did I say to make [Cole] explode like that?” Calah asks her ex. “What did I say?”
After a beat of awkward silence, Steven Jr. speaks up. “I ain’t gonna f—king stick up for you,” he mumbles.
In a confessional interview, Calah expresses her frustration with Steven Jr. not standing up for her during the argument with Cole. “I have continuously been put in these situations where it’s me against everyone else, and I haven’t done anything wrong” she declares.
Inside Calah Jackson’s conflict with the McBee family
Cole’s bold declarations about Calah are the product of built-up tension between the city girl and the McBees. During Season 1, Calah didn’t exactly see eye-to-eye with the McBee brothers and their dad, Steven McBee Sr.
On Season 2, she ended up in hot water for calling Cole and Jesse “hillbilly f—ks,” a situation that Cole’s girlfriend, Kacie Adkinson, confronted her about on Episode 2. At the same time, Calah was upset with Kacie, Jesse’s fiancé Alli Ventresca, and the rest of the McBee gang for not offering her their condolences after her younger sister, Mallory, passed away. In fact, Calah’s issues with Steven Jr.’s family contributed to their breakup.
“There are still issues between you and my family, your perception of my family,” Steven Jr. told Calah on Episode 2. “In every single conversation about anything to do with my family, you are the most pessimistic person to ever speak about my family. I don’t know if I’ve ever heard you utter a single positive statement about anyone in my family.”
Although Calah and Steven Jr. were on better terms by Episode 3, her relationship with the other McBees has not improved. See what Kristi McBee really thinks about her relationship with Calah.
