Lawson's New Song

Today is a big day for Lawson Bates. His new single, "One + One," has been released! He just sent us the link, and we are thrilled to share it with you. Click here to listen to a preview and purchase the song on iTunes. If you think it sounds familiar, you're right. Lawson sang "One" for Tori and Bobby at their December 2017 wedding.

Tonight on Bringing Up Bates, you'll see Lawson hit the studio with friend Olivia Collingsworth.

Cheating Bates?

Chad Paine: "You cheated, didn't you?"
Erin Paine: "Who told you that?"
Chad: "You said you did."
Erin: "Not on camera I don't say that."

At Josie Bates' wedding shower, Kelly hosts a "sniff the tea bag" game. But Carlin, Whitney, and Erin come up with a strategy that is a little suspect.

Dancing with Carlin

"Erin has just been phenomenal with helping me plan this. She's like, 'What about dancing?' And my first thought's like 'yes,' but then I'm like, 'No, I don't know how to dance!'"

-Evan Stewart

The Bates aren't big dancers (they pretty much don't dance at all), but it has always been Carlin's dream to share a special dance with her fella. The only problem is that Evan isn't much of a dancer either. In this video preview of Thursday's episode, Evan's mom shows him some moves.
