Did Production FRAME Big Ed Brown During Dramatic Tell All Breakup?

Remember how, in the second part of The 90-Day Groom: Happily Ever After, Big Ed demanded his ring back from Liz Woods.

Feeling humiliated, he was caught in a lie and decided to make it Liz's problem.

This may sound like typical Big Ed toxicity.

Some views focused on a critical detail during "Tell All." Did the producers set up Ed's failure?
