Season 8 was a rollercoaster ride for Mia and Gordon, as it began with the couple relocating to a smaller home. Gordon was pushed out of the family business, and the decrease in income hit their marriage hard. Midway through the season, viewers learned that Gordon gave Mia permission to sleep with other people. Viewers were already aware that she was head over heels for Incognito, her high school sweetheart. This may explain why Gordon said she cheated later, as she formed an emotional connection.
