In this preview clip for Teen Mom 2, the battle between Jenelle Evans and her mother Barbara heats up as they squabble over six-year-old Jace.

The encounter starts on a pleasant note as Jenelle brings sons Jace and Kaiser, along with new boyfriend David Eason and his daughter Maryssa, to Barbara’s house for a visit.

Barbara meets David for the first time and gives him a hug before getting straight to the point and asking how serious the relationship is.

"You getting along good?" she asks her daughter.

"We get along fine," Jenelle responds, obviously annoyed.

Barb then praises her daughter as "generous," and David agrees.

"She’s very caring," David tells Babs.

And that’s where the niceties end.

"She’s very caring to everybody — everybody but to really me," laments Barb. "You break my heart all the time."

Barb then informs them that she will be traveling to Asheville, North Carolina to visit Jenelle’s brother for the holidays, and that Jace wanted to come.

"Nooo!" Jenelle protests.

If you’re new to Jenelle’s drama, it is worth noting that Barbara has had primary custody of Jace since he was a baby, due to her daughter’s prior issues with drugs and her numerous arrests.

Barbara then suggests that Jenelle make the trip with them, but she just doesn’t wanna.

"This is no fair!" shouts Jenelle, in the manner of a 12-year-old. "I’m his mother!"

To decide the winner, Jenelle brings Jace into the fray.

"Jace, do you want to go to Asheville for Christmas," asks Jenelle. "Or do you want to stay with me and be there at the house?"

Who will Jace pick? His mom or the woman who raised him and provided some semblance of normalcy to what would’ve almost certainly been a traumatic childhood?
