[Stevi] Previously on
[Amani speaking]
[Amani and Any exclaiming]
[Amani] Yeah!
So let's go back to the hotel.
Yeah! Let's go!
- [/ Any laughs]
- Amani] But it's three times
more complicated
than a normal relationship.
- Oh, You guys want me in the middle?
- [Amani] Okay. I don't know.
It's a hard decision. I
don't know what to do.
[all] Oh.
[Sarper speaking]
The beginning of a new chapter.
Not the end.
[Sarper speaking]
[Sarper's mom, in Turkish]
[in English]
[Sarper's dad, in Turkish]
[in English] Me and
her are very close.
- Father, daughter.
- [Mina] Mm-hmm.
[Mark] Her concern is,
does dad really need
to have more kids?
[Mina speaking]
We don't want drama at the
wedding. You want your wedding...
No, she's coming to the
wedding. She's my daughter.
[Mina speaking]
before you got here.
Like, nothing?
Yeah, no, I didn't.
[Mahdi] I have only one meeting
to make him feel good about me.
I'm really uneasy
about starting my life
in America on the
foundation of lies.
If you are 100% about me,
you would have told him.
[Shawn] I first met
Douglas online.
And I loved his curly hair
and his bubble butt.
But now there's no more Douglas.
Now everything is a
different playing field.
Jessica is my best friend.
And for you to be off,
potentially messing around,
just literally
shatters my heart.
Did you sleep with that girl?
[upbeat music playing]
[Shekinah] Okay, so
we're walking to our gate.
We went through all the
different security checks.
They didn't detain
this guy, which is great.
Yeah, usually they detain
me because of all my surgeries.
I don't look like my
passport anymore.
["What You Get" playing]
About to get on our
flight. Are you excited yet?
[Sarper] Mm-hmm.
You better start
getting excited, mister.
You're going to America.
Come on, babe.
Don't miss the flight.
[Sarper speaking]
[Shekinah] We're
gonna snuggle together.
Snuggles.
["Lift It Up" playing]
[Shekinah speaking]
This is the big moment
we've been waiting for.
- [Shekinah exclaims]
- [Sarper speaking]
That was a very smooth landing.
Wow.
[Sarper] You are
strong. Keep pushing.
[Shekinah] Yeah.
[Shekinah gasps]
Wow, babe, thanks.
You're welcome.
Yeah, so you don't really love
me 'cause you wouldn't do it.
[Shekinah chuckles]
Okay, wait. Pull over here.
I have to do something.
I have to do something.
Come here.
Come here.
We're in the U.S. You
can really kiss me now.
- No one is...
- How does it feel?
- [Sarper] No one is staring at us.
- No one's staring at us.
- So...
- It's normal.
Don't be shy.
Oh, baby. You're in L.A.
Well, here you can
kiss me all the time.
- [Sarper speaking]
- [scoffs]
[chuckles] Not in
public. I think that's...
- Okay.
- [Sarper speaking]
Okay.
- We found one thing you haven't done.
- Yeah.
- Welcome to America, babe.
- [Sarper] Yes.
- I love you.
- [Sarper speaking]
Thank you for making
this journey with me.
It's gonna be great.
We're gonna have a
great life together here.
[Shekinah] Mm-hmm.
I love you. Okay, now we can go.
I don't really feel like
It's maybe enough time
for Sarper to decide if
he likes living in the U.S.,
but we're still early
on in our relationship,
and I would prefer
to wait longer
before walking down the aisle.
Get your muscles ready.
I mean, he still has
to meet my friends
and my family and my daughter.
My apartment is
smaller than his.
And I also work out of it.
It's a live-work
space, so that's difficult
because when I have clients,
Sarper's gonna have to leave.
[Sarper speaking]
[Shekinah] Yeah.
He's a self-proclaimed
alpha male,
which I think will make
it really hard for him
to live in my home
under my terms.
Babe, this is our car, so...
[Sarper speaking]
- [Shekinah chuckles] So cute.
- [Sarper] Yeah.
[Shekinah] Even
though getting this visa
has been difficult, this
is actually the easy part,
because the difficult
part is now going to be
learning how to
adapt to my life,
and I'm gonna have
to take the lead on
a lot of different things,
and that might be
kind of hard for him.
- [Sarper] Yes.
- Good job.
[Sarper exhales]
He likes to be in
control of situations,
and when he's not,
things can start going
sideways really quickly.
- [Sarper exhales]
- [Shekinah] Okay, let's go.
Welcome to America.

- [Mahdi] Mm-mm.
- It's bad luck.
We have almost the
same thing in our culture.
- Black cats?
- That's funny, yeah.
We even have a saying for that,
like, if a team loses to a
specific team all the time,
we say that's our black cat.
Honestly, I don't think I need to
read into the black cat very much.
I'm not worried about it.
But I'm scared because
you look scared.
You good?
-Yeah, I'm fine. [chuckles
softly] -[Stevi chuckles]
How are you
liking it here so far?
And, like, how is it
different than Iran?
They're pretty
much isolated, right?
Iran, as far as...
Iran is, like,
- uh, one of the most isolated countries.
- [Perry] Yeah.
- [Mahdi] In terms of everything, like...
- Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know, you know, there's a
lot going on now, tension between
the U.S. and Iran.
[Mahdi speaking]
[Perry] Yeah, I mean...
- [Mahdi] But...
- You didn't do that, right?
- Never. Never. [chuckles]
- [Perry chuckles]
Well, I'm sure you're gonna
have a lot of adjustments.
- I mean, there's a lot of rules there. I mean...
- Yeah.
Yeah, exactly. Like...
And also, like, if
you're a woman
and you want to
leave the country,
uh, if you're married, your
husband has, like, signed something.
And you're, like...
That's one of my big concerns,
the way women are treated
and the way you were raised.

What does your family
know so far about Matt and I?
[chuckles nervously]
What do you mean?
Really? Seriously?
I'm the friend?

down to Bald Head

to spend some
time around family.
[Mina speaking]
- Different than New Hampshire, yeah.
- [Mina] Yeah.
[Mark chuckles]
My brother's in North
Carolina and all his boys
and my parents.
[Mina speaking]
My daughter Jordan
and her boyfriend Gabe
are planning to fly up
as well from Florida.
And this is a great opportunity
for her and Mina to maybe
kind of try to find some
common ground here
and bond a little bit.
So I'm hopeful
that that happens.
[man] Just make sure
your brakes are off.
We'll take care of the aircraft.
I'll get her tied
down for you in park.
[Mark] Thanks, Mike.
[Mina] Thank you.
[Mark] Is she still in the...
- I thought you were getting Maria.
- [Mina] No.
[Mark] You left the baby.

Didn't even notice.
-Great parents.

At least we didn't drive off.

you mean you don't know?
[Mark] Well...
well, Jordan...
is just like the rest of the
family. What do you mean?
I know. I f'ed up.
I shouldn't have said
anything to you or to Jordan.
Um, I told her about the jacuzzi
when we were... What?
Stupid.
- I...
- [Maria grunts]
- Why you...
- [Mark chuckles] Sorry.
Sorry, Maria. Sorry, Mina.
I completely regret
really relaying
anything either one said.
I should have just kept quiet
and let them two
interact with each other
and not know what
the other one had said.
It was a stupid thing to do.
I mean, I just put
my foot in my mouth
by talking too much.
I don't... I don't... I...

No, but she is my daughter,

[Mark chuckles] No.

let's try to enjoy it.
Look, there's beach
here, there's water.

[Amani] Oh, yeah.

[Amani] So, you never
stayed in Ensanada?
- Never.
- Really?
Yeah, I was surprised, too.
Never stayed with a good guy.
- Right.
- Come on.
- Mmm, yeah. Makes sense.
- Or a couple. [chuckles]
[upbeat instrumental music]
[Amani] We're about to
spend two weeks together.
We're gonna go to Ensenada.
We're gonna go to Guadalajara.
We're gonna meet
her family. We're...
This is the longest time
we ever spent together.
Honey, are you ready?
- [Matt] Yeah, I'm ready.
- [Amani] Not you, baby. It's the other honey.
- Honey, are you ready?
- Two minutes.
[Amani] We're just so excited
to get to know her more.
Every moment matters when
you're in a long-distance relationship.
[upbeat instrumental music]
- All this for one night. Girls.
- [Amani and Any laughing]
You're gonna work me to death.
[upbeat music continues]
[Amani] Let me
open the door for you.
- There you go, my lady.
- [Any giggles]
[Any speaking]
- Yeah, I'm gonna go sit next to you.
- [Any] Okay.
Thank you, honey.
You're amazing.
So, I booked us this
hotel in Ensenada
so we can spend some
quality time together,
so I can get to know you more.
And I'm so excited to go
to Guadalajara. So is Matt.
Show us around your city.
[Amani] Meet your
family, where you grew up.
- Just see that side of you.
- [Any] I know.
But... [chuckles]
What does your family
know so far about Matt and I?
[chuckles nervously]
What do you mean?
So, he doesn't know about Amani?
Yes, but he... he...
Does he or does he not know?
Like, what does he think I am?
It's not easy, honey.
That's gonna be
awkward, isn't it?
Coming all the way to
Guadalajara. You hear this?
[tense instrumental music]
Honestly, I'm still trying to
process what she just said.
Majority of my life, I had to
hide who I am in my culture,
and I promised myself I
will never do that again.
And to see your
loved one hide you,
it's just, like, so
triggering for me.
So, what's the plan?
To pretend to be your friend?
I wouldn't wish... I just
know about this right now.
[Any speaking]
Are they going to be surprised
to know that you like women?
But threesome?
Interesting.
[Amani] I think it would have
been nice if you told us before.
You tend to drop
information on us, like,
in the last minute,
which makes it, like, hard
to digest that information.
[tense instrumental music]
All parties here involved
are making a lot of sacrifices.
So, I think the least you can
do is introduce us to your family
for us to know that you're
serious about us, you know?
I will. I will. Of
course, I will.
[tense instrumental music]
- How much time does she really need, though?
- The time is here.
[Amani] We're thinking we're
all gonna ask for a blessing.
We're thinking we're
gonna go home and,
you know, start planning,
like, divorce and a wedding.
And then, to hear that we're
still there where you're hiding me,
I can't help but to think that she
maybe is not taking this seriously.
[dramatic instrumental music]
But what... what happened?
It's like, at that time, I was
not in my best place, either.
He even asked me about that guy.
I mean, he was your
ex-boyfriend. [chuckles]
- What?
- What?
Why was she hiding it from me?
This just completely
changed the whole story.
[percussive instrumental music]
[upbeat instrumental music]
Yeah, I did that.
So she just wrote, like, "Alliya" in
the paper so she can say my name.
-[upbeat music
continues] -[yells in joy]
[phone ringing]
Hi, love.
Hey! Tell me, tell me,
tell me what happened.
It's done!
I'm approved!
[laughs] Thank God.
We finally did that.
Was it nice? Were they good?
Was it easy? What happened?
Yeah, everything was amazing,
and they treated me very well.
They just asked me some
questions and that's it.
And after that, he said,
"Welcome to America."
[laughing]
When I got out of there,
it's like I wanna cry.
I don't wanna cry. I
have no anyone here.
We are waiting for so long.
[soft instrumental music]
Yeah, that's more time, baby.
Everything that we are living, it's hard.
It's too much time, too much waiting.
We've waited so long,
and we'll have each other to
rely on, and not be separate
and trying to figure
things out alone.
And now, we can finally
plan our wedding. Yay!
[Alliya] Yeah.
And, also, I need
to meet your other...
the other part of your
family, and everyone.
[chuckles] That
might not be as fun.
My mom will be fine. I don't
know about the rest of 'em.
[laughs]
[humming]
[singing] I'm going to
America! I'm going to America!
Yeah! [laughs]
[tense instrumental music]
[Megin] What
happened on the cruise?
Did you sleep with that girl?
Why?
I guess I felt lonely.
I'm human.
How many more times
are you gonna be human?
Now that I'm here,
it's just not the same.
- So, as long as you're babysat, you're good?
- [Juan speaking]
It's taken a year for you
to admit this to me, Juan,
when I confronted you
in Colombia a year ago.
- Yeah.
- My bad.
So, I mean, I do wanna
say, like, I did know this.
It's something that we
decided to work through.
- You're my best friend, Jess.
- [Jessica] I know!
Like, I love you
more than anything
- in my life, I think.
- [Jessica] I know. I love you more than anything.
This is why I protect you.
Juan has admitted to me
that he did cheat on me.
You know, this was
a year and a half ago.
And, you know, he sat there and cried
to me and begged me to forgive him.
And I can forgive him for a
failing while we're at a distance,
so I will not forgive
him if he fails
if we are together.
The big thing is,
like, this was, like,
- a year and a half ago.
- Yeah.
I know. But I
mean, it's not like...
It's not like I forgot either.
But I want to back up
a little bit, too, okay?
So, like, obviously you
and I have talked about this.
Like, at that time, I was not in my
best place either. And I've told you that.
-Like, I've never... -But
you've never crossed that line.
[tense instrumental music]
I feel like the same time that Juan
was feeling weak in our relationship,
I was, as well.
I found myself kind of catching
feelings for, like, an ex-boyfriend.
But they were never
anything that I acted on.
So, like, I mean, obviously, like, at the same
time period, we were both feeling distance.
He even asked me about that guy.
Like, "Do you have
feelings for this guy?"
I mean, he was your
ex-boyfriend. [chuckles]
- What?
- What?
Yeah.
-I told you when we were
talking about this. Like... -No.
You maybe just were gonna...
It's okay. It's my
fault. It'll be okay.
It's all out in the open.
It'll be fine.
[dramatic instrumental music]
It's not what I would
have pictured for you
when you and Mom got divorced
and you were gonna get remarried.
I don't think I have to ask
permission to have another kid.
Mina can be fiery, and...
I feel like this is, like, your
new family now, and I'm...
not.
It's my decision. It's my
body. I don't understand.
[upbeat instrumental music]
Well, what do you think
so far of North Carolina?
No!
I'm trying to change the subject
because I want you to get happy.
I don't want you to be mad.
[sighs] Oh, here it is.
Thank you.
[Mark grunts] Oh, it's
nice, baby. It has a balcony.
- Big chair.
- [Mina] Oh, my God.
- Oh.
- [Mark] Let's see what the view looks like.
[Mina] Okay.
- Trees. Like New Hampshire.
- [both chuckle]
- [Mark] The ocean is close.
- [Mina speaking]
Yeah, look, that's... The inlet is
right there. The ocean comes in.
And Rich and the family are
over on that island right there.
Mina is mad at me for
running my mouth to Jordan.
And Mina can be fiery. And,
you know, I know she's mad, and...
Right now, I'm just trying to
keep things light and calm.
- Baby.
- [Mark] Huh?
- Oh, you're gonna get sexy and make Jordan even madder?
- [Mina] Yes!
-[laughs] -I'll make
her more mad.
She's not gonna get mad at that.
She will if it takes you
three hours, like Paris.
My biggest concern right
now is Mina showing up late.
I swear, there's not a woman on Earth
who takes more time than Mina to get ready.
I'm serious. I don't wanna
be late again for Jordan.
One of the reasons Jordan
is skeptical of Mina is because
she was three hours late
to the baptism for Maria,
which the whole family flew all
the way to Paris to be a part of.
So, if Mina leaves
her hanging again now,
that's gonna be
a problem for us.
I've finished.
- [Mark] You finished? Seriously?
- Yes.
[Mark] I can't believe.
- All right, Maria, you ready to go see your sister?
- [Maria] Yeah.
[Mark] Mama's ready to
go see her stepdaughter.
- Yes.
- [Mina] Yes!
[chuckling] Yes?
[Mina speaking]
[Mark] No, you
don't have a choice.
- Then, let's go.
- [chuckles]
All right, Maria, we're going.
Mama is finally ready?
[Mina] Yes.
Baby, it's always one minute.
- [Mina speaking]
- [Mark chuckling]
[Mark] Serious? Again?
Baby, it's 100 degrees outside.
You need to make it warm?
- [Mina] Oh, Mark.
- [Mark] I don't want...
They already been
waiting again, again.
[playful instrumental music]
Oh, it's nice.
Yeah. Good day, I hope.
[Jordan] Of course, she's late.
I just wanna go to the island
with everyone else.
[sighs]
- Hey.
- [Mark] Hey, I missed you.
- Hey.
- [Jordan] Me, too.
[Mark] Good to see you.
Gabe, what's up, man?
- Good to see you.
- [Mark] You, too. You, too.
- This is Mina.
- [Mina] Hi.
- [Gabe] Hi, nice to meet you.
- [Mina] Nice to meet you.
- [Mark] First time meeting, right?
- [Mina and Jordan] Hi.
- [Gabe] Hey, Maria.
- [Jordan] Hi, Maria!
- Maria.
- [Mark] Maria.
She's really cute.
[Mina] Thank you.
[Jordan] She was so
little when I saw her last.
Five months old.
- [Jordan] Yeah, like, four or five months old.
- I think, then I was sober.
[Jordan] So crazy. I still can't
believe that, like, you have a baby.
[chuckles] I know.
Definitely wasn't expecting
to have another sibling, so...
[Mark] I know. I know.
[tense instrumental music]
But it's cool. You only
live once, you know?
You know, I know right now
there's some issues and tension.
I mean, yeah, this
is really awkward.
I feel very awkward right now.
[Mark] I agree.
- This is not me and you as normal, you know?
- [Jordan] No.
-Normally, we're... -[Jordan]
But it's not gonna be anymore,
because the whole dynamic
is different now with them here.
Yeah, but not
between me and you...
But I feel like this is,
like, your new family now,
and I'm not.
[tense instrumental music]
To be honest, now
she's here in America,
so it's a lot more real.
Like, you don't expect to see
your dad, you know, at this age...
having and playing with a baby.
For a while, I kind
of brushed things off
because I didn't think it
was really gonna happen.
But now, it is happening.
Like, it's getting real.
And it's...
it's strange and it's awkward.
[Mark] I do have
another daughter now,
- so yeah, I'm gonna be busy with her.
- [Jordan] No, yeah.
But you don't have to
forget about the other kids
- just 'cause you have another.
- [Mark] I'm not...
- We're here to see you.
- I know.
Kind of.
Like, my dad wouldn't have a baby if
he was with someone who is his own age.
It's not what I would have
pictured for you when...
when you and Mom got divorced
and you were gonna get remarried.
[tense instrumental music]
Well, I didn't write out a plan on how I
was gonna proceed after the divorce.
And you know I fly to France
a lot, so I was in France a lot.
Me and Mina met, and then we...
Once we got engaged,
we got serious.
I don't think I have to ask
permission to have another kid.
It's my decision. It's my
body. I don't understand.
This isn't what I would've
envisioned or wanted for our family.
[tense instrumental music]
[Shawn] So, now, we've started
this countdown of the 90 days, but...
I mean, I haven't told the kids.
My three children don't
know that Alliya even exists,
or that we're engaged.
It's not like I'm enjoying
hiding things from them.
That's just something that I have
just not wanted to deal with, with them.
I'm seriously worried
about Shawn's children.
I don't want huge family drama,
but they're really
great at doing that.
I think it's gonna be fine.
You're talking about your
kids or somebody else's kids?
[upbeat instrumental music]
[server] Here to drink?
- I will have a vodka gimlet.
- Vodka gimlet.
And I'll have a shot
of tequila and lime.
Do you want something
to drink with it?
- Do you want water or anything?
- [server] Water.
- [server laughing]
- Please.
[upbeat instrumental music]
- [server] Brought you a lime.
- [Jeanne gasps] Thank you.
- That's gonna be her liquid vitamin for the day.
- [all laughing]
So, my mom's pretty
much a dynamo.
I used to do the salt, but my
blood pressure is too high now,
so I had to quit salt.
No salt for you.
- [Jeanne] Thank you.
- You know, if you need anything else.
-[Jeanne] All right.
[laughs] -All right.
As far as knowing a lot
of sexy seniors that are 86,
that have the stamina
to go out to WeHo and,
you know, make
it rain on strippers.
Uh, I'm not that familiar
with very many, if
any, other people.
- Cheers.
- [laughs]
Oh, good grief.
So, now we've started this
countdown of the 90 days.
Oh, gonna be interesting.
It's definitely not gonna
be boring. That's for sure.
Oh, definitely not.
So, you're obviously
one of the only people
that have actually...
God, I don't even know,
are you the only person
that has talked to
Douglas and Alliya
- in my life?
- Oh.
I feel like you are.
-Oh. -So, have you noticed
any kind of difference
between the two?
Oh, my God, yes.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- In what way?
- Because in the very beginning when I talked to Douglas,
it was wanting to have
a conversation with me,
but not really saying a lot.
And then when I
talked to Alliya...
Oh, my God.
I mean, we just...
[imitating yapping]
[both laugh]
[Shawn] My mother is
my closest confidante.
She knows
where all the bodies are
buried and everything about me.
And, uh, she knew about Douglas
right from the beginning
because I was living with
her at that point in time
and it was during the pandemic.
But my three children
and some of my closest
friends don't know that Alliya is...
uh, that she even exists,
that she's coming to the U.S.,
that she's trans
or God knows that we're engaged.
Are you planning on
like a meet and greet
kind of thing or what
are you gonna do?
Um...
Well, I mean, I
haven't told the kids.
It's a recipe for
a lot of opinions.
The reason I haven't
told friends and family
is because me and Alliya's
relationship keeps changing.
I mean, I'm involved with
somebody from another country.
I'm involved with somebody
super younger than me.
One of the things that's
probably most hard
for people to understand
is that I mostly dated men.
And then I met Douglas
and now I am with Alliya.
So, I'm trying to get clear
with everything in my life.
And until I feel
like I'm super clear,
then why give anybody else
a reason to start poking holes
in something that I'm already
looking at in a bunch
of different directions?
I know they know
something's going on
'cause I keep going to
Brazil, so they're not stupid.
It's not like I'm enjoying
hiding things from them.
It's just something
that I have just not
wanted to deal with with them.
And probably because I know
it's not gonna be an easy thing.
It's, like, "Oh, I'm
getting married
to a foreigner from
Brazil who's 25 and..."
- And old, by the way. [laughs]
- Did I mention transgender?
It's a lot for one sentence.
- Yeah. That really is.
- So...
- [laughs]
- So, we'll see.
I wasn't putting that
into proper perspective,
- but you're right.
- I know.
You've had a lot longer
- to go along the storyline.
- Yeah.
They're going to get...
- Boom.
- Shaboom.
-[laughs] -And
then it's gonna be...
- [imitates expl*si*n]
- Oh.
Oh.
[imitates drum roll]
[Jeanne] I'm seriously
worried about Shawn's children.
I don't want huge family drama,
but they're really
great at doing that.
I'm hoping that the children
will realize that
this is Shawn's life.
That he deserves more
than anybody to be happy.
And his children should
all be happy for him.
Please.
I love them dearly.
They're my grandchildren
after all, you know.
But they, uh...
I don't know where they get the
stubborn streak from, but they are.
They're very opinionated.
- Says the most stubborn woman ever.
- [laughs]
Okay, yeah. It's a
crazy mystery. Go on.
Your kids are just
gonna say, "Oh, Dad,
this is wonderful, and
we're so happy for you."
Well, what do you think
they are gonna say?
The three of them
are gonna get together
and they are gonna be going,
- "Oh."
- "My dad's crazy."
[laughs] That's
what I'm afraid of.
I love them dearly.
But I don't know how this
situation is gonna work out.
I really don't.
I can tell them over the phone.
Or I can bring Alliya with me.
They can meet the actual person.
And then they can talk
behind my back to each other.
Maybe the other
thought should be,
"How is Alliya going to feel?"
Yeah.
There's that.
[both speaking
in other language]
[Alliya speaking in English]
[speaking in other language]
-[speaking in other
language] -[laughs]
[in English]
[speaking in other language]
[Cleusa speaking]
[both laugh]
[Cleusa speaking]
[in English] I'm so excited
about my new life in America.
But at the same time,
it scares me that Shawn's
still keeping me a secret.
My worst fear is maybe Shawn
is not ready
to be committed with me.
[speaking in other language]
[in English] If there
is a part of him
that feels ashamed by
the person that I became,
there is no way that
we can be together
and get married.
No.
Why would you hide that?
I did tell you. I did tell you.
I figured as long as we were
all there, that it was okay.
I'm glad you tell me.
I have much more respect
for you, for you telling me that.
I'm struggling on how to
manage building a relationship
without stepping
on one of their toes.
All right, let's just end this.
My parking job sucks.
[imitates engine revving]
[Juan speaking]
I told you that.
We had talked.
I remember even where I
was, I was in the bathroom,
upstairs at my house.
I had him come over,
and I mean, we...
Like, I was friends.
I mean, we never...
Like, there was nothing
that was ever acted on.
I mean, but I
didn't cheat on you.
You, like, literally,
physically cheated on me.
I mean, I did tell you.
I did tell you.
[Juan] If you're talking
to a random person,
that's like a
physical attraction.
But if you're talking
to an ex-boyfriend,
we're talking like an
emotional attraction.
Like, what's going on here?
I have been very faithful to you
our whole relationship.
And you were
distant at that time.
But I mean, I never
acted on anything.
Ever.
I mean, it was
probably, like, evening.
No.
I mean, the...
I mean, but it
wasn't like anything.
I mean, there was a time...
You know... You know...
Should I have communicated to
you that maybe someone was over?
Yeah, but should you have communicated
to me that you hooked up with the girl?
Definitely.
Because you got caught!
I feel like Juan's kind
of being a hypocrite
because I forgave him easily.
And I feel like what he
did was pretty severe.
He's trying to maybe
level the playing field
and make it seem like
it's the same
situation, but it's not.
I just want you to
know that I love you
and I mean, I...
Clearly, there's a lot of issues
we need to work on
before we get married.
[Spanish song playing]
[Matt] We're here, guys.
Grab your jackets. It is cold.
- [man] Hi.
- [Matt] Hello. Checking in.
Of course. May I have
your signature, please?
It is, yeah.
So, I'm gonna show
you to your room.
Thank you.
[man] This way, please.
[Amani] Oh!
-Oh! -[Matt] Oh, wow.
I love that.
- Yes.
- Beautiful.
Good taste, love. Good taste.
So nice!
[man speaking]
[Amani] Oh, yes!
Oh, I can't wait for this.
- Is it gonna be three people staying?
- [all] Yes.
You need an extra bed,
extra towels or something?
- [Matt] We're gonna need extra towels.
- Extra bed?
No! [laughs]
- All right!
- [all laughing]
Welcome again.
- [Any] Thank you so much.
- [Matt] Okay.
- Enjoy your stay.
- [Matt] Thank you.
It hurts me that Any's hiding
me and hiding this relationship.
And it's weighing on me heavily.
I can't stop thinking about it.
But we just got here, and I
don't want to come off too strong.
I don't wanna
come off too pushy.
So, I'm going to
table it for now.
And try to make
the most out of this
beautiful place that we're in.
- You wanna get the s'mores going, honey?
- Oh, okay.
I'm gonna grab a little blankie.
I'll use this, uh...
Yeah. We don't have the same
boob size, but we'll make it work.
Oh, it's so nice out here.
- Oh, so beautiful.
- I know.
Did you think it was weird
what she said in the car?
[Matt] Yeah.
I mean there were certain
things that made me think.
I don't know that kind of hurt
my feelings to be, like, hidden.
I'm done being hidden.
I lived my life hiding, hidden,
all that since I was a kid.
I deserve better.
We deserve better.
Yeah. I don't think it's right.
It just makes the
situation awkward.
I need to be clear
with that with her.
- Mm-hmm.
- Maybe I should be more clear.
I'm done playing nice.
I always try to like tiptoe
around her feelings and stuff.
I wouldn't say
don't play not nice.
But I think it needs
to be brought up.
I think we should
just sleep on it
and, uh, figure out the
right moment to do this.
Understood.
Hey.
Ready to get in?
[Any] Oh!
[Amani] Okay, we're gonna go
change, too. You ready, honey?
Oh, it's so delicious.
Oh.
Cannon ball.
Oh. Be careful.
I didn't know that. I thought
it went all the way around.
[Amani] Hey, guys.
- I'm here!
- [Any] Oh!
[laughs]
Oh, my God. I need a hand.
Your hands are
busy. I could tell.
- [Any chuckles]
- [exclaims]
Whoo! [sighs]
- It's cold.
- [laughs]
Okay.
- Beautiful place, beautiful people.
- [Any] Beautiful.
Very handsome.
[both] Aw! Aw!
Handsome. He's shy.
- [Any] He's shy.
- Yes, he gets shy around us.
- It's cute.
- Yeah.
[Any speaking]
I'm glad you told me.
I have much more respect
for you, for you telling me that.
And you didn't even tell me.
Um, yeah.
Last night, after
our first round,
Amani started feeling sick.
Any and I tried to
initiate sex with Amani,
and she said no, so
we did it without her.
I didn't think anyone
was hiding it from you.
-You know, I don't think
that was... -It doesn't matter.
- She still said something about it.
- True.
Amani's pissed.
I don't exactly
know what to tell her.
I figured as long as we were
all there, that it was okay.
[Any speaking]
No, I'm just upset
that he didn't tell me.
I had to hear from you,
even if you thought
I heard or I knew.
For you to come tell me, like,
"Hey, is it okay if I do this?"
- I would have said it's okay.
- Is it cool or is it not cool?
I'm so confused.
You don't get the point. It's
about the communication.
I just want to be treated
with consideration.
That's it.
Baby, I'm a lady, too.
So, I understand.
Yeah, it's all
my fault. I get it.
Ugh, okay, never mind.
All right, let's just end this.
[Matt] The fact that
Any told it to Amani
as if I was the one
hiding something
just makes me feel like
they're ganging up on me.
I'm struggling on how
to manage building
a relationship
without stepping
on one of their toes.
I can't read their minds.
And they're both females.
They're gonna think alike.
So, not only do I have to
read the mind of one woman,
I gotta read the mind of two.
I'm set up for failure here.
[Shekinah] This
is the living space.
So, this is where we
can actually hang out
and be comfortable.
It is cute.
Frankly, the house is a
little smaller than I expected.
Are you disappointed?
[Shekinah speaking]
♪ Hey, how you doin'? What's
your name and where you from? ♪
♪ Did you come to merely party
Or are you lookin' for the one? ♪
[Sarper speaking]
No, you just shake
their hand, babe.
No, you just shake
their hand. That's it.
We don't start kissing people
when we first meet them here.
Okay.
[Shekinah speaking]
[Sarper speaking]
Before we go to my place, we
need to stop and pick up my dogs.
Teddy and Adonis
at my friend Janay's.
- You ready to see the boys?
- Yep.
Wow. What a great house!
[doorbell dinging]
Let's go.
Oh, babe.
I don't want to care
about your dancing.
- [Shekinah] Hi.
- [Janay] Hi.
- [Shekinah] How are you?
- [Janay] Good, how are you?
- It's so good to see you.
- How was your trip?
- Oh, my God, it was so long.
- Yeah?
-Hi. -This is Sarper.
- Nice to meet you. Janay.
- Sarper, Janay.
- Nice to meet you.
- Finally.
Yes.
Look who's here, honey.
[Sarper speaking]
Who is here? Do you miss me?
Do you miss me?
Teddy! Hi, baby!
Oh, my goodness.
[Sarper speaking]
This is your new
papa, your new daddy.
Oh, of course.
Where's Ribeye? I want...
We should,
actually, go find him...
- [Shekinah] Let's go find him.
- Because, like, I'm afraid he might, like,
knock down stuff.
Ribeye, you opened the gate?
Oh, my...
He wanted to go pee outside,
and he did not open the door.
- [Shekinah] Ribeye?
- [Janay] Ribeye?
Oh, my God.
- [Shekinah] It's he so cute?
- [exclaims graciously]
Janay is obsessed with animals,
and she recently fell
in love with the idea
of having house cows.
It is, kind of, a
trend right now
that you're seeing
more on social media.
So she got Ribeye,
and you can't just
have one house cow.
She has brisket, too.
But only one is
awake this late at night.
[Sarper speaking]
[Janay] Ribeye.
[chuckles softly]
Have you ever seen
a cow in person or no?
[Shekinah] Yeah... In the farm.
[Shekinah] Bye, love.
- See you, guys.
- [Sarper and Shekinah] Bye.
[Shekinah] Now that we
finally have the dogs back,
it's time to go home
and for Sarper to see
where we're gonna live.
[Sarper] Where is my boy?
- [dog whimpering]
- [Shekinah] We're all together.
[upbeat music playing]
Yeah.
Let's get the dogs last.
[Sarper] Let me
unload everything.
[Shekinah] Stay here, boys.
- We're gonna come get you.
- [dog whimpering]
[Sarper] I made a great
workout with luggage.
Let's just put them all
on the porch for now.
[Sarper] My new neighborhood.
- [Shekinah] What do you think?
- It's silent. I love it.
- So different.
- The studio there, what's that?
That's a dance studio.
[vocalizing beats]
[Shekinah] A totally
different type of dancing.
Hey, come here, Teddy.
- Can you...
- Thank you so much for everything.
- [driver] You're welcome.
- Bye, bye.
[Shekinah] We're home, you guys.
I'm excited.
- Okay, babe.
- [Sarper] Wow.
- The moment of truth.
- [Shekinah] Let me turn on the light.
Welcome to your new house, babe.
[somber music playing]
There's a lot of facial stuff
here, obviously, because...
I'm also working from home.
You know, my apartment
is smaller than his,
and I also work out of it.
I'm a licensed aesthetician
and it's a live-work space.
So that's difficult because
when I have clients,
Sarper's gonna have to leave.
I can't have him there
when I'm doing treatments.
[Sarper speaking]
- You did.
- Especially this part.
Yes, it's small.
It's really small.
So this is the kitchen, but we
can't really cook, like, food here
because I'm seeing clients
and I don't want the
place smelling like food.
[chuckles softly] What?
No, 'cause it makes
the place smell funny,
so I don't like to
cook food here, so...
You can buy the same stuff
that you're making at home,
like, already made, so...
it's not a big deal, babe.
[Sarper speaking]
When I do have
clients, babe, like...
you can't be here
because most of
my clients are female,
and I don't want them
to feel uncomfortable
that a man is in the room.
No. You'll be able to
hear what they're saying.
That's the problem.
[Sarper speaking]
[dramatic music playing]
[suspenseful music playing]
I didn't know about you till
just a couple of days ago.
Do you see what I'm saying?
Do you love each other?
[suspenseful music concludes]
[meowing]
[Perry speaking]
[Mahdi] Oh, no. No way.
And I used to respect that.
But then, I realized it just
didn't make sense to me.
Yeah.
Yeah. Well, good.
Was anybody hungry here?
- He's always hungry.
- [chuckles softly]
Look... He's so tall.
He's always hungry.
[Perry] Let's go then. [grunts]
[Stevi] We'll be right there.
- How are you?
- [Mahdi] I'm fine.
[Stevi] You were, like,
fidgeting the whole time...
- with your hands.
- It was your parents.
Oh, you were nervous.
So you did good.
How do you feel?
I just hope he likes me.
Yes, I think he does.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
[Mahdi speaking]
[Stevi laughing] Yeah.
- You coming in?
- [Stevi] No.
- [Mahdi] He just came in.
- [Stevi] Is the cat... Can the cat come in?
[Wendy] I'd rather
he didn't right now.
[Stevi] Well, he ran in.
[Perry speaking]
[meowing]
- [Perry] Hungry?
- Are you hungry?
[Mahdi] Yeah.
[Stevi] Look.
Do you know what all this is?
He don't know. I'm sure.
I just know what this...
Mac and Cheese, right?
- [Perry] Mac and Cheese, yeah.
- [Mahdi] Yeah.
[Perry] This is turkey.
And that's pork.
[dramatic music playing]
Oh! Pork?
Pork, yeah.
I don't think I'm...
- [Perry] Not very appetizing?
- No.
Okay.
It's been, like, a thing that my
parents have always told me.
Like, this is...
this is not okay.
You know, so... I'm
programmed like this.
- Respecting your parents?
- [Mahdi] Yeah.
Well, that's good. That's okay.
Okay.
[Mahdi] So what are
these Southern cooking?
Yeah, like Southern
cooking is like fried food.
- Oh.
- We have a lot of grease. [laughs]
- We have a lot of it.
- [Mahdi] Yeah.
Your six pack is going
to be fading soon.
I know that.
[Anthony] You teach
English, don't you?
Yeah. I teach English.
You have really good
pronunciation and everything.
[Mahdi] Oh, thanks.
I was really worried, um, about
having a conversation with Dad
because based on what
Stevi has told me, like,
"Dad would have, like,
a really thick accent.
You're not gonna
be able to just follow."
- But it wasn't like that.
- [Perry] Really?
[Mahdi] Yeah, I was
really worried about that.
[Stevi] Thanks for telling
him I was talking [bleep]
-[laughs] -No,
not talking [bleep]
It was, like, different.
- It is?
- [Mahdi] You know, I've never...
[Stevi laughing]
Why... Why you talk
about me like that?
Y'all just buried
me in a grave today.
[Perry] Really? I mean...
Stevi... kept it a secret
that she had been seeing you.
I didn't know about you till
just a couple of days ago.
Yeah.
It caught me off-guard.
[Stevi] He thought I
had already told you.
[Perry] Yeah?
Yeah, that's different.
- So, you see, K-1 and fiance visa...
- [Perry] Hmmm.
[Mahdi]...there we only have 90
days to just wrap everything up.
And if not, then after 90 days,
he would just
have to return back.
Yeah.
I mean, do you see
what I'm saying?
[Perry] I know people do
that. Many people do that.
[Mahdi speaking]
I think the only one that
who can just, like, uh...
proves that I'm not
that kind of a person,
and I'm not here for that only,
is, uh, Stevi.
Do you love each other?
I've...
I've never been in love with
anyone else more than Stevi.
I can assure you that we
can live together forever,
and we love and
care for each other.
Okay.
Yeah. [chuckles softly]
- Yeah, sure.
- That's s'more.
[Perry] Let's go.
Some shockingly different.
I worry about what
it will be like for him
and the pressure that
both he and Stevi will feel
around those issues.
[Stevi] You eat
the first s'more.
[both laugh]
- Oh, my God!
- Stop! Stop!
You don't do that. You blow.
- Like that.
- Oh.
[Stevi] Okay, hold it.
[laughing] Hold...
There you go.
Okay, now just wait for a
little bit for it to cool down,
and then, the
chocolate will melt,
and then you bite it.
Oh...
It's, kind of, cool.
- [Perry] Do me. Do me.
- [Stevi] I got you.
I'm the official s'more smasher.
- It's amazing.
- [Perry] Oh, really?
It's really good.
[Perry speaking]
- [Wendy] He will be.
- [laughing] I know.
He's ate sweets all day.
- [Perry speaking]
- [Wendy] We will be friends.
[Stevi] Okay, pull it.
[Perry speaking]
- [Wendy] What do you want?
- Coke.
Wendy, I can get it.
[meowing]
[Stevi] Thank you
so much for all this.
[Wendy] Oh, you're welcome.
It was really sweet,
and I feel like this, probably,
helps Mahdi a little bit
because he's a little homesick.
- [chuckles softly]
- [Wendy] Yeah.
He's a lot homesick.
What do you think that
will be like going forward?
On his first night here,
he did say something to me
that, kind of, really shocked me.
He said,
"If I go back and there's a
chance that I can never come back
or there's a chance
that I could be hurt
but that's what I wanna do,
like, would you
be okay with it?"
He hasn't even
got to my house yet.
We're in New Orleans, and he's
already asking me if he can go back.
I'm sure he's
dealing with a lot.
Talked that out or...
[Stevi] We did.
Well, not enough.
And he says it is what he wants
as long as nothing changes,
and I continue to love
him and he's okay, but...
that's a lot to carry for me.
- A lot of pressure.
- [Stevi] It is. It is.
All I can do is
keep showing Mahdi
the life that we can
have together here.
But it still worries me how
different everything is to Mahdi.
And at the end of
the day, I don't know
if he's ever gonna
get settled in here
or what that will mean
in terms of us getting married.
How long does it last?
Like, how long does this last?
But it's definitely something
I'm gonna figure out
before I... say,
"I do."
[Mina]
Yeah. You're coming
into my family, and...
having babies and, like,
how do I know you're not
just with my dad for his money?
[Mina speaking]
[speaking in French]
[speaking in English]
[dramatic music playing]
[squawks]
Wasn't like a...
a big plan of having another...
- [Jordan] No. Obviously, you, like, planned to have a baby.
- [Mark] We fell in love.
We fell in love. And then, yeah,
she wanted to have a... she
wanted to have another baby, so...
-That's what
we... -I can't just...
- [Mina] Okay?
- [Mark] Okay. Me and Gabe will hang out with Maria.
You guys...
I'm happy, you guys.
[Mina speaking in French]
[speaking in English] Uh...
[Jordan] Yeah, because
we don't... I don't talk to you.
We don't really communicate,
and when we were in Paris,
we didn't communicate either.
Like, we didn't really
talk to each other
or get to know each other or
anything when we were there...
-[Mina] Yeah -...and I think
that was part of why I was mad.
I would have expected to feel a bit
more welcomed and wanted there.
And we flew all the way
to be there for you guys.
It just would have been
nice to feel included.
Like, you and my dad say,
"Oh, we're a big family now."
But it doesn't feel that way.
Yeah.
[Jordan] Wait, but if
you're gonna be his wife,
you should be wanting him
to, like, have a good relationship
with me and my brother still.
I mean, I'm not
just blaming you,
I do think it's both of you,
but I feel like you could
have made more of an effort.
Okay.
You were, like, four
hours late to the party,
and that was the whole
reason we were even in Paris.
-Wait... -You would never
apologized to any of us for being late.
[Jordan] You were getting
your hair and your makeup done
while everyone
else was at the party
with your baby and celebrating,
and you weren't even there.
[dramatic music
continues playing]
[Mina speaking]
[Mark] Good job.
They've been talking
for a while, man.
I don't know if
that's good or bad.
- Well, no one's stormed off yet, so...
- [Mark] That's true.
[Jordan] Do you
wanna have more kids?
[laughing] Okay.
Like, maybe I wanna
have kids in two years.
What, they're gonna
be the same age?
It's just... That's so weird.
I made it pretty clear to him
that I would be very
uncomfortable with it
if you guys decided
to have more babies.
[tense music playing]
You knew when you
started dating my dad
that he's a lot older.
- [Mina] Yeah.
- So I feel like it's, like, common sense
that if you want a big family and
you wanna have more babies...
- [Mina] You don't have...
- you to pick someone, like,
who's younger, who can do that
because he's my dad,
his kids are in
their 20s, like...
he doesn't need to be
having more babies right now.
[Jordan] I mean, yeah. That's,
obviously, my first thought.
[Mina speaking]
[speaking in French]
[Jordan] You're coming into my
family and having babies and...
coming to the US and
you're so much younger.
Like, how do I know you're not
just with my dad for his money?
[speaking in English]
- [Jordan] You think I'm a snake?
- Yes.
So you don't want me to
come to my dad's wedding?
Yes.
So... That's all right.
[Mina speaking]
[Shekinah] Next time
on 0 Day Fiance...
[Sarper speaking]
- [Shekinah] Babe, Baywatch?
- Yep.
[upbeat music continues playing]
[Sarper] When I was a kid...
[upbeat music playing]
[Sarper speaking]
[man] Realistically, what
is the next step here?
Are you gonna
take a standard job,
try to move out of
your parent's house?
I mean, obviously, we're gonna
push towards getting our own place.
I don't wanna rent.
I thought maybe in six months you could
be moving out of your mommy's house.
I'm hoping, you know, maybe
a year-and-a-half, two years.
[Joan speaking]
[Mahdi speaking]
I miss my parents more.
So that is a thought that
always comes to my mind.
Like, going back?
This is the first time in our
whole entire relationship...
So if that was even in your
mind before you came here,
then I...
don't know if this
was the best decision.
[Alliya speaking]
No. I don't have any big
need to get married life.
I've done it.
[Alliya speaking]
[Amani] She had sex
with Matt behind my back.
I felt like I was disrespected.
You should have
said something to me.
How would I have known
how to navigate this?
And no rules have been in place.
So what you're asking
for is for permission.
I think so.
[tense music playing]
[Mina speaking]
- [Gabe] Jordan, seriously?
- [Jordan] Yeah?
[Gabe] You're just gonna bail
out on the whole day, Jordan?
I feel bad for Mina, but
I'm also pretty serious.
She can't get along
with my daughter,
maybe I won't marry her.
[Mark speaking]
[door slams]
