Things got so wild at Elizabeth Johnston’s bachelorette party that she almost found herself in “handcuffs.”
The 7 Little Johnstons star, who married husband Brice Bolden last fall, took the TLC cameras inside her pre-wedding celebration for an episode set to air on Tuesday night, April 14. As seen in a teaser clip shared by the network on Instagram, the festivities included a surprise “arrest.”
The clip shows a man in a police uniform knocking on the door of a house where Elizabeth, 24, was gathered with friends and family. When the bride-to-be caught sight of the “officer” while in the middle of opening gifts, she covered her face with tissue paper and exclaimed, “Oh, my God! Y’all did not!”

One of the women could be heard joking, “Did you pay your car ticket?” “I just see a man in a cop uniform and, out of the corner of my eye, it almost looked like Brice,” Elizabeth later recalled in the teaser. “I just saw brown hair and a tall, lanky dude. And so I’m like, ‘Oh, my God, he would never!’
When the “cop” entered, he announced, “I’m here to arrest Elizabeth,” prompting the reality star to once again cover her face with her hand. Her sister, Emma Johnston, explained in a confessional, “Liz didn’t let us have penises at the party, so we added something spicer.” “I heard that Elizabeth stole Brice’s heart,” the officer continued. “Is this true?”

He then asked Elizabeth to stand up and put her hands behind her back so that he could “cuff” her — only, as Elizabeth remarked, “the cuffs don’t seem like they’re fitting.” “He was attempting to handcuff Liz,” her mom, Amber Johnston, said.
When the officer began to dance, the women screamed and giggled. At one point, he tossed his cap to Elizabeth to put on as he danced in front of her chair. “I’m not into that kind of stuff,” Elizabeth later told the camera. “But of course, somebody decided to surprise me.”
According to Parade, Tuesday’s episode will also reveal that Elizabeth was gifted some edible underwear, as well as a pair of thong underwear printed with the words, “Grazing Station.” “Brice is just gonna get a kick out of these,” Elizabeth commented. The TLC star married her husband in an intimate, outdoor ceremony in the field of the Johnston family home in Forsyth, Ga., on Nov. 8, 2025. Elizabeth told PEOPLE at the time that they chose the location because it’s where their relationship first evolved. The pair, who have been together since 2019, first crossed paths in their neighborhood, where they lived just three houses apart.

“[It’s] where we spent most of our dating life,” Elizabeth said, adding that their ceremony symbolized “togetherness at the place where it all started.” The couple’s 2-year-old daughter, Leighton, who was born in November 2023, served as flower girl. Elizabeth told PEOPLE that she and Brice were looking forward to “officially being able to call ourselves a family of three, and being a team” — although now they will soon be a family of four, as they announced last month that they are expecting their second baby in “early fall of 2026.”
7 Little Johnstons airs on Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET on TLC.
