[narrator] Previously on 90-Day Fiance The Other Way.
Hi, my love. How are you?
I'm moving to Egypt in two weeks
but Mahmood and I,
we fight endlessly
about what I can and cannot wear.
I thought there would be some, like,
wiggle room but there is none.
-I love you. -I love you, too...
[sniffles]
I am worried about leaving everything behind.
But it's my time.
It's time for me to be happy.
Woo!
I'm not the only trans person over there
in Colombia, not at all.
But her mom and dad, they don't know.
Do I tell them I'm trans first?
"I wanna marry your daughter but this is who I am before."
Yeah.
I understand Gabe's fear
of telling them that we're a person
of trans experience because you can't control
what people think or how people feel.
You never know what the consequences are.
Wow.
After Yohan and I got married,
he told me that he opened up a butcher shop.
[flies buzzing]
Where is the money coming from?
That's my question.
Where is did get the money?
[in Spanish]
I hope he doesn't think that I'm gonna be
his sugar mama because that's not my plan.
We're done.
What about his family, culture-wise?
Isn't it not approved
to marry someone who's not from India?
His family doesn't actually know.
[Randi] Do you trust him?
I feel like he is completely
committed to our engagement.
So how about this,
we can catfish him.
Do you remember how we talked about
me sending Rishi a message on social media?
He wrote back.
Okay.
Why is he even responding to my messages asking me,
a female, who I am and where I'm from?
This guy seems shady as [bleep]
[upbeat music playing]
I am on my way to Colombia
to finally meet Jeymi for the first time,
face-to-face after a year of waiting...
[exhales]
I am on the last plane I will be taking
to get to Jeymi in Bogota.
I am exhausted but super, super excited.
I cannot wait to be there.
[lively music playing]
[Jeymi speaking in Spanish]
[in Spanish] [laughs]
[in Spanish]
[soft music playing]
[exhales]
Yeah.
Jeymi, here I come.
[soft music playing]
[laughs]
We've waited a year for this moment right here.
One year.
It doesn't seem real.
It feels like a dream.
Even more so in person.
[laughter]
-Oh, my gosh. -Oh, my God. You're beautiful.
[Kris] We picture each other a certain way
and, you know, cameras only can do so much.
She's a lot shorter in person... [laughs]
-Oh, really? -I love it.
I love it. She's beautiful. She's so beautiful.
I'm still taller than you and you got your high heels on.
-I love it. -It's all... It's all the same.
No, baby. This... We're not the same...
[laughter]
Look at you.
It's everything I think, you know,
everything all in my imagination all the time.
It's perfect. It is perfect.
Okay.
Yes. Yes, yes, yes.
I wanna see our home.
This is the first day for the rest of your life.
Wherever you go, I will follow.
[laughter]
I have dreamt about this moment
of being with Jeymi,
seeing her for the first time,
and holding her for so long.
It's everything we've wanted.
But it's also freaking me out a little bit
because there is so much that could go wrong,
especially with me.
I am definitely not in Alabama anymore.
[laughter]
Yes, this is a very big city.
But it's beautiful.
[Kris] Everything is crazy new to me.
I am in a country where I've never been.
I'm sitting next to my future wife
that I just met in person five minutes ago.
And I'm excited
but I am terrified at the same time.
[slow country music playing]
This is my mom's wedding dress
from 1971.
I don't even know if I'm gonna get married in this.
I think we will probably have
more of a traditional Indian wedding
and I'll wear maybe a sari
or something like that.
But I definitely wanna do something in this.
It'll just mean a lot to me
because it's a piece of something from home.
Today is finally the day I'm moving to India.
Can't forget my passport.
Sure look like I'm such a dork
but it's just easy.
I'm excited of course,
because I love Rishi, I can't wait to see him,
but I'm also scared.
I mean, my friends have put it in my head
that because of these stupid messages
that he sent Randi on social media
that this relationship is terrible and not a good idea.
But I'm just trying not to dwell on that.
Okay. Are you guys ready?
[laughter]
-She's got it where it rolls. -That's gonna be you.
[laughter]
My family thinks I'm making a big mistake
and they're like, "What are you gonna do
when you have a nervous breakdown in India
and we can't come get you?"
There's just a lot on my mind
but I'm cautiously optimistic.
[soft music playing]
Do you have butterflies or anything?
Are you, like, anxious, are you nervous?
I don't know how it's gonna be when I first get there.
I mean, I'm definitely nervous
because we haven't seen each other in two years.
Yeah, I talked to Rishi,
he's like, "I got the apartment ready."
He's not gonna be staying with me, that's...
Very much so. Very much so.
And I feel like we kind of need to get reacquainted
but yeah, I'm in love with him,
but it has been long distance.
I don't know. Maybe there's gonna be
something that just really irritates me
or maybe there's gonna be something that I do
that really irritates him.
This is what I'm scared about.
-[Tarra speaking] -Yeah.
-[Tarra speaking] -[Jen] Right. Right.
There are so many what-ifs.
Like what if the attraction isn't there?
What if I find out he's not the person
that I thought he was?
I feel like I could name them all-day long.
Oh, come here.
-I love you so much. -[chuckles]
It's sad to see her go,
but she's doing something not many people do.
I mean, who moves
to another part of the world to chase love?
Like, not many people do that.
Stay in touch.
I will.
I think she's sacrificing a lot more than she knows
to find happiness
and I don't think it's gonna be a smooth transition,
let's put it that way.
History tells me sometimes
that's not the case with her.
Remember, you've always got a home to come to.
-[Jen] But like-- -You don't have to stay
in any relationship
that is not a positive one.
Absolutely.
There's no doubt about that.
[Donna] Yes.
Saying goodbye to my family
is difficult.
If anything were to happen to one of my family members
or they needed me,
the reality is I might not be there.
And that is a little bit heartbreaking
because I love them all so much.
-Let us know you make it. -I will, for sure.
-We'll talk soon. -[Donna] Oh, yes. Okay?
-Sad? -Yeah. Yeah. I'm sad.
[Tarra] Don't be sad.
She'll be okay.
I'm not, like, in denial about the fact
that I have no idea what I'm walking into.

[upbeat music playing]
Today, my parents are coming in from Idaho
to help me pack up the rest of my things.
And I have movers coming this afternoon also.
They'll take everything to the storage units.
[zipper zipping]
It's starting to set it in that
this is a reality for me
that I'm actually moving to Egypt
and it's not just, you know, some idea I had
or something that's happening in the future,
it's actually happening in the next few days.
[knocking on door]
-[Nicole] Hi. -Hey.
-Hi, Mom. -Hi.
Come on in. Sorry it's such a mess.
-Hi, Dad. -Hi.
-How's your flight? -How you've been?
-Oh, it was okay. -Yeah?
Have a seat. I'm sorry everything's such a mess.
Looks like you've been busy.
Yeah, I've never enough time in the day.
Thank you so much. I know you've helped me move,
like, a thousand times or something,
so I'm surprised you said yes.
[laughs]
Of course, that's my job.
We could have it be move back
towards Idaho a little closer.
I really have a lot of concerns because I know
absolutely nothing about Egypt. Nothing.
And I don't know Mahmood or his family.
I do not like her moving back
to Egypt, period.
She's moving someplace
that I can't get to
if she needs help.
She's my only little girl, so.
I always worry about her.
[Nicole] It all makes sense. I mean, of course,
you are both worried. I mean...
I mean, life is inherently risky
and of course, when your daughter likes to create,
like, additional risk for herself.
And he always talks about how he wished that
maybe he could have talked to you before we got married
so maybe Dad could have warned him
-about who he was marrying. -[laughter]
I think she really loves this Mahmood
but somebody told us that it was on Facebook
that she got married.
So, it was a big surprise.
Real big.
Well, I think that Mahmood and I wouldn't mind
having an American wedding too
because we got married the Islamic way.
It didn't really feel like a wedding to me.
Mahmood and I were married at the Justice Department.
But then his uncle said that we wouldn't be able
to stay the night together if he didn't get married
through, like, the Islamic way.
So we had to get married that night again
and we crashed somebody else's wedding.
It was so weird.
[in foreign language]
We sat at a table, at somebody else's wedding
-with boxes of cake. -[in foreign language]
[in foreign language]
And then we were married.
Yeah.
So do you feel like you wanna be a Muslim?
I am Muslim.
I converted. Yeah, I did convert.
And when did you do that?
Before... Two days before I married Mahmood.
Wow.
So you had to--
I didn't have to. No, I chose to.
Yeah.
I converted to Islam
because when we have children,
I wanted our whole family to be the same religion.
And the more I started to learn
about Islam and how faithful they are
and devoted, I just found it really beautiful.
I love that Mahmood loves his religion so much.
And so I thought, "Wow, maybe... I mean,
maybe I'm missing something."
And Mahmood said that all you have to do to become
a Muslim is you have to say the Shahada,
which is there is only one God,
and that Muhammad is his prophet.
And I wholeheartedly believe those things.
So I thought, "Okay, then I'll do it."
I went to the mosque and I have the paper,
but I wish that I would have
actually slowed down and taken some time.
I needed much more information
because as it turns out,
there is a lot more to it than just saying
the Shahada and believing the things that you say.
I start to find out all the rules,
things like doing the five prayers
and the five washes every single day.
And there's this and there's that.
Every moment of your life
is being Muslim.
I'm definitely suffering
the consequences of that decision.
[Harold] What do you mean?
I don't follow
any of the dietary restrictions.
I don't cover my hair anymore.
I don't think I need to do
all of those things
to have a great relationship with God
as long as I'm working towards being, like, a better person.
-That's right. -And so,
I'm currently having like a major crisis
because of I did this
and I don't really know what I'm gonna do now.
How does he feel about that?
Mahmood and I have spoken, you know, in, like bits
and pieces about this stuff.
Sometimes religion is a really hard topic.
He doesn't pressure me to do anything,
but he thinks that in time that I'll come
to my senses and start doing all of these things.
And that one day I will put that head...
Hair cover, the hijab back on.
But I tell him, I say, "I will never,
ever, ever, ever, ever a day in my life,
ever put that on again."
[Harold] It kinda surprised me that she converted.
I don't think she really did think it through.
He's not going to tell her how to dress.
I mean, we've never been able to tell her how to dress.
She's not going to let him tell her
what to do because she's just not like that.
[Nicole] We both love each other very, very much.
And I sometimes wish that we had some, like,
magic eraser that we could just both erase
all of our cultural conditioning
and just like be two people who love each other, right?
But that unfortunately, that's not an option.
It's all deeply ingrained within both of us.
[Harold] I mean, it can definitely work
but it's gonna... it's gonna be a challenge.
[dramatic music playing]
Any time you ask Mahmood
what's the most important thing in his life,
he will always tell you, "God."
And so for me to be doubting his religion,
for me, is a big deal.
Okay, I think we need to start packing.
The movers are gonna be here in a little bit.
I need to be face-to-face with him
and really talk about this
because he's gonna be hurt
by my doubts or my concerns.
I'm not trying to disrespect him at all.
I'm just trying to be true to myself.
At this point, it's just like
just put it in whatever.
I am willing to make sacrifices
for Mahmood, but I know for sure
that I can't change who I am to be with him.
And I'm hoping that he can understand this.
[upbeat music playing]
Yeah. I found the right person
that suits my personality.
I'm 67 years old.
I'm moving to Morocco to marry Osama.
He's 24 years old,
but I love him...
[lively music playing]
This is lovely.
Princess for a day.
[singer singing in foreign language]
Check these bad boys out? Yeah.
That's what I love about these stores,
it's like playing pretend.
I'm Debbie.
I'm 67 years old
and I live in Sugar Hill, Georgia.
Look at... The cat's in the bag.
Somebody's got hats over here.
I describe myself as being perhaps
a little eccentric,
somewhat quirky personality.
It's so cute.
It's so Debbie.
If I may use the old adage
it's like, "I hear a different drummer drumming."
I'm gonna start a new trend, man.
Okay, let's roll.
[upbeat music playing]
This is my little art studio, gallery, workplace
where I make jewelry and sell jewelry.
My home is filled with antiques
and a lot of artwork.
It's like a protection to be surrounded by beauty.
You know, when I was a little kid,
we'd go to the quarries and pick up quartz,
crystals, fossils,
and we'd be so excited just digging through rocks.
I sell semi-precious gemstone jewelry
and I love painting.
I started early as a child.
Painting is my friend.
It never lets me down.
The red-winged blackbird
is something that's close to me.
As a child,
I always wished I could be that bird to go away,
fly away, and not come back.
Growing up, my mother had some significant
mental health issues.
I never knew any kind of normalcy or structure.
And as I got older, I never knew
what a healthy relationship should look like.
I was very, very naive,
so I was very trusting.
I've been married twice.
I was married to my first husband
for four years and we had a son named Julian.
My husband was basically a womanizer
and he would drink a lot.
And so, I left and never looked back.
Love doesn't come in that nice, neat little package
that we thought so as little girls, you know?
We thought, "Oh, our Prince Charming is coming."
Well, they don't teach you that,
you know, sometimes it's the big, bad wolf.
I met my second husband
shortly after I left my first,
and we married rather quickly
after I got pregnant with my daughter, Sandy.
I was married to Sandy's father for 23 years,
and then everything started going south.
He started traveling more than normal for work,
so I started to get suspicious.
I hired a private detective
and they showed me photos of him with another woman
in another country.
It was such a gut-wrenching
time in my life
that I lost Debbie for a while.
I wanted to represent myself
as an older woman that's half of a skeleton.
We don't know what can happen to us,
and... You know. And I wanted to capture that.
For 12 years, I sat behind closed doors.
I swore off men
until I met Osama.
[singer] ♪ Cuckoo papa ♪
♪ Cuckoo papa ♪
[Debbie] He's from Morocco.
He is an artist and a poet.
[singer] ♪ Got me hooked With your wild ways ♪
♪ And a dark malaise♪
I met Osama on social media.
He commented about my artwork and he was very complimentary.
And every now and then, I'd get another message,
and then all of a sudden, he's like a tree
that takes root in your heart.
We had so much in common.
And he would send me pictures of his paintings and poetry.
And it encouraged me and gave me hope
that he was a genuine person.
I just wanted to be with someone
that says, "Hey, I get you, Debbie."
And so, after about six months talking online,
I decided to get on the plane and go to Morocco
and visit with Osama.
I knew Osama was younger,
but I didn't know how much younger
until we met in person.
At first I said,
"Look, Osama, I just can't do this.
You're too young."
But he made me see that it wasn't
about the age and circumstances.
It's about a deeper level of connectivity
and us being a team.
He's 24 years old, but I love him.
Osama knows I take a lot of supplements.
These vitamins are real important to me.
I've gotta look good, you know?
I'm going to be the best and youngest Debbie I can be.
I've known Osama a little over three years now.
I've only been to Morocco twice,
but after years of communicating,
Osama said,
"Debbie, come to Morocco and be my wife."
So now I'm fixing to move to Morocco in two weeks.
This.
This, I need this one.
-[Julian] Mom? -[Debbie] What's up?
[Julian] What are you doing?
Looking through my jewelry and trying to pick out stuff
to take with me.
And it's hard decisions.
My son, Julian and I are really close.
He pops in all the time to visit me and chat
or talk about anything and everything.
But I'll tell you one thing,
he's not a big fan of Osama at all.
Why are you gonna need all this?
People are gonna see this and you can get rob...
No, no. Osama protects me.
Really? Osama is gonna protect you?
Yes.
Come on, let's go sit down and talk, man.
It's like, don't get on my case.
Ever since I told Julian I was moving to Morocco
to marry Osama,
he's been pretty hateful about it.
He thinks I'm going to get used and abused,
and he thinks I'm gonna be, like,
lost in the Sahara Desert or something.
I mean, he's a police officer, he's a lieutenant.
But I don't wanna talk to the cop.
I wanna talk to my son.
I just don't know what to think about you.
It's like you're always negative about it.
You know, at least give him a chance.
Okay.
Look at it from my point of view.
This guy is young, okay?
He lives in a third world country.
He has no job.
This is a hundred percent catfish.
No. He... he's not in it for the money.
Oh, Julian, Julian, Julian,
-if you only knew him. -[Julian] I'm telling you--
-If you would quit... -I don't need a...
-What you told me-- -being judgmental.
of him is already what I need...
That's all I need to know.
When I found out that my mother was engaged to a 23
or 24-year-old Moroccan male,
it made me sick to my stomach and I thought it was a joke.
Being 24 years old
and proposing to a 60 something-year-old woman,
that raises red flags.
I'm worried about someone that's going to be using you,
that's gonna take everything.
Take everything what, you know.
Do you think I'm stupid?
You think I'm gonna say, "Hey, here, Osama,
get on my bank account."
-You think I'm gonna to do something crazy like that? -No.
Well, you're doing crazy [bleep] now.
Oh, no. I didn't just fall off the turnip truck, son.
[Julian] It does seem like you just fell off
-the turnip truck. -No, no, no.
How do you know he's not scamming you?
I know, because in all this time,
he has never asked for money.
Not yet.
My mom has always been such an outgoing,
friendly, loving character.
She's a free spirit.
You know, she's not going with eyes open
and I think there's something sinister behind this.
You know, there's many, many fears
as a... As a loving son that I have for her.
Lord, give me strength, that's all I'm gonna say.
I found the right person that suits my personality.
I hate the fact he's young.
I wish he was a grandpa.
But he's... But he's not.
No doubt that you may be in love,
but he has nothing to lose by this.
You have everything to lose by this.
The last thing I wanna see is my mom get hurt again.
[dramatic music playing]
There's going to be a lot of sacrifices
that I'm going to make
moving from the United States to Morocco.
But my kids underestimate me.
I just wanna enjoy the evening of my life.
This guy has blinded you. This guy has tricked you.
Before you get married, I'm gonna find out
what the hell is really going on,
because I know damn well he... He's not doing it for love.

I want Yohan to be more realistic
about our future, and I also don't want to be

[man speaking]
[upbeat music playing]
[in Spanish]
Yesterday I went to visit Yohan's butcher shop
that he opened a few months ago,
and I was really concerned about what I saw.
Bugs. Bugs.
I have some concerns about the business,
primarily how the meat is kept in the butcher shop.
I'm also concerned about how he keeps books.
There was no way that I could, like,
mask this experience with, like, a poker face.
That wasn't possible.
[in Spanish]
I feel really bad about how mean I was to Yohan
in the butcher shop,
but I'm still really worried about his finances.
So, I'm sorry in the butcher shop.
I feel like I got very angry. I was frustrated.
[in Spanish]
[Yohan] Maybe.
I want Yohan to be more realistic about our future
and I also don't wanna be bankrolling our life forever.
I am a hundred percent willing to be supportive
in helping Yohan get the resources he needs
to create a fruitful business.
But I sacrificed a lot to be with Yohan.
So, if he is still losing money
nine months from now,
we're gonna have to close this business.

[upbeat music playing]

-I'll miss you. -[Gabriel] Okay.
[Marie] Call me when you land.
I will.
Today, I'm moving to Colombia
to be with my girlfriend, Isabel.
-Bye, mom. -[Marie] Bye.
I love you.
I have a lot of mixed feelings.
I can't wait to see Isabel.
But leaving right now, it's very, very difficult.
My mom and Monica,
they've always been there for me.
So, I feel guilty
because I'm voluntarily leaving my family.
[upbeat music playing]
[Monica] You're really leaving.
It's really weird.
I feel like it hasn't hit me yet
that I'm actually moving.
Like, it feels like until I leave,
then I don't think that it will hit me yet.
Until I'm there and I'm like,
"Oh, crap. I'm stuck here now."
Well, I don't wanna say stuck but, uh...
You know, that one way--
-[Monica] Are you having-- -is gonna hit me real hard.
Are you having any second thoughts about it?
-[Gabriel] Uh-- -Honestly?
Not at all.
I'm ready.
If she's really taking care of you like you say,
then I'm happy for you.
But if she's not, I'll sniff that [bleep] out.
but I hope...
But I hope...
No. But seriously, but if she really is
everything that you say that she is,
-then I'm happy for you. -[Gabriel] I appreciate it.
But, Gabe, are you afraid that moving to Colombia
is going to, like, change, like, how close we are?
Because it's always just been me, you, and mom.
Like, are you concerned that, like,
10 years later, it's gonna be...
We're gonna have one of those, like estranged,
like, sibling relationships,
where I haven't talked to my brother in 15 years.
Are you concerned? Because I'm concerned, like--
-Why? -[Monica] Like--
But why would you let it happen like that?
[Monica] I'm not saying I would let it happen.
You act like I'm never gonna see you
-ever again in my life. -[Monica] No.
-I'm just-- -Like, I'm getting abducted.
I would never let us drift apart, Monica.
-I would... -[Monica] Thank you.
never let us drift apart.
[Monica] That is what I wanna hear.
I'm gonna miss you,
but I know you miss Isabel, Gabe.
Is she like dying to see you again?
-Yeah. -Yeah?
She's ready for me to be back.
I'm ready to be back, too.
I'm ready to see everybody.
Are you nervous to come out to her family?
Most definitely.
Like, what if they don't accept me?
Like, just say bad stuff behind my back.
Obviously, I'm gonna be very upset.
I'm gonna just wanna scream at them and yell at them.
Your last relationship was like that
and they didn't necessarily approve.
I know that kind of got you down a little bit.
I was not welcomed in that at all.
-Yeah. -Yeah. Uh-uh.
Definitely not.
One of my ex-girlfriend's family,
they would not even acknowledge me.
And it made things hard on our relationship
because I could never get to know her family.
Like, how do you not speak to somebody at all
and still make them feel terrible?
[Monica] Yeah.
[Gabriel] So, we broke up.
And if Isabel's family doesn't accept me,
I think it's gonna be even worse this time.
Like, I wanna marry this woman.
I hope that they love you like everyone else.
But if they don't, like, whatever, you know.
You're a good person.
So, if they don't want anything to do with you,
I mean, whatever.
Just be strong.
I'm going to miss Gabe.
I'm gonna miss waking up early,
calling him at 8:00 AM,
annoying him, being in his business.
And I'm scared that if Isabel's family
isn't able to accept Gabe,
he's going to get really down about it.
And it's gonna suck because he doesn't have
me or my mom to help build him up.
Are you ready to leave?
[Gabriel] I'm ready.
You're absolutely sure this is what you wanna do?
At this point, I'm sure this is what I wanna do...
-Okay. -[Gabriel] right now.
All right.
Well, we're all gonna miss you.
I'll miss you, too.
All right.
-Okay. -Bye.
-I love you. -I love you, too.
All right.
-You know where to find us... -[Gabriel] Okay.
if you change your mind.
[laughs] All right. Love you.
[Monica] All right. Love you. Bye, Gabe.
Bye.
[dramatic music playing]
It's getting real.
I will be in Colombia in, like, four hours.
That's so crazy.
I'm freaking out because once I step on that plane,
my family is gone.
It's gonna be difficult not having them around
because if I ever do need anything
or need support, they're always there for me.
But I always kinda do what I want in life,
just like coming out to my family
first as a lesbian.
That was very, very hard.
Coming out to my family as trans,
even harder than coming out as a lesbian.
And then, now,
just up and moving to Colombia.
But I'm doing all of this because I love this girl.
It just feels like where I'm supposed to be
and who I'm supposed to be with.
I believe in my heart and soul
Isabel is worth the risk that I'm taking.
[upbeat music playing]
She pretty much picked this place
without even discussing it with me,
so I don't know what to expect.
What is all of this?
Are you all set?
No.
I don't wanna go.
I can't believe that today is actually here.
It's the day I'm moving back to Egypt.
I'm not looking forward to living in Egypt.
I know what it's like there and I don't like it.
There's no way that I could go over there.

Yay.
I asked Jeymi to move into a different apartment.
I knew her apartment was very small
and I worried about that.
[Jeymi] Baby, it's too much.
-[Kris] I got it. -[Jeymi] Really?
[Kris] Yeah.
[Jeymi] It's too much.
[Kris] I wanted space.
I wanted an American kitchen, so that meant moving.
But she pretty much picked this place,
signed the dotted line and everything
without even discussing it with me.
And it was a hundred dollars more a month in rent
than what I had agreed to pay.
So, I don't know what to expect.
[Jeymi] Go.
Go.
Oh, my goodness.
What is all of this?
Oh, I love it.

I'm just happy I'm finally here.
But just be careful
and keep in mind, my narcolepsy.
I can have night terrors, hallucinations.
I know.
So, you know, you might end up getting karate kicks in the sleep.
Okay.
Especially now because it's the first day.
-And it's-- -And it's very special
because I have a surprise for you.
Uh-oh, I have a surprise for you, too.
-[Jeymi] Oh. -Ba, ba, boom.
Okay. I like this.
I'm feeling nervous.
Tonight is so big.
[singer singing Spanish]
[Jeymi speaking]
Welcome home and welcome to my life
and prepare for you because this is first night.
For you.
Let me see.
I love. I love, I love, I love.
Thank you.
You look beautiful like always.
-Oh, thank you. -Now I'm nervous, damn it.
[laughter]
Really
I'm not nervous now.
It's because you're so pretty.
[Jeymi] Thank you.
I like it.
Great.
-You look amazing. -Okay.
Bye guys. [laughs]
It's really. Bye, guys.

[Nicole] I think everything is ready.
I think I probably...
I don't know if I'll be able to use all of this stuff in Egypt
but I'm gonna bring it anyway, so yeah.
I've been staying at a hotel with my parents
since I gave up my apartment.
I just can't believe it's all finished.
It feels really weird to be in this empty apartment
and LA is not gonna be my home anymore.
Let me get the big one for you.
Thanks, Dad.
My parents are taking me to the airport
and then they're gonna take my car
and drive back to Idaho.
You all set?
-We're all set. -Are you all set?
No.
I don't wanna go.
I'm freaking out.
-[Wanda] Are you? -Yeah.
-[Wanda] Uh-oh. -[Harold] Mmm-hmm.
Yeah.
I can't believe that today is actually here.
It's the day I'm moving back to Egypt.
Is it gonna shut?
I'm so excited to see my husband,
hold him and kiss him and hug him.
But I'm also nervous about just staying there again,
especially since the last time it didn't work out.
-A lot of nervousness? -Yeah.
You know, and just like just feeling all kinds of things.
I'm sad I have to say goodbye.
That's for sure.
It's just not a good feeling
that you're leaving for who knows how long.
-I mean, we don't know. -[Nicole] I know.
I mean, the first time I really wanted to.
I was excited to move to Egypt to be with him.
And, you know, of course, I'm excited to be with him.
But I'm not looking forward to living in Egypt.
I know what it's like there and I don't like it.
Like, I don't like the life there.
Like, even simple things, like I don't know how to go to the grocery store.
I know that there's no way that I could go over there.
I really think you're sacrificing a lot.
[Wanda] Oh.
And sometimes I get really resentful about that
because I feel like he's asking a lot of you,
-you know. -Well, then think about it this way, like,
it's because I can.
He doesn't have the option.
That's true.
[Wanda] I just, you know...
You're my daughter, and I just wanna make sure
that, you know, everything is okay,
because I can't come over there.
I almost divorced Mahmoud.
And, you know, I've done... I've done this before.
The second time I've given up everything for him,
but I think that he's worth it.
And that's why I've exerted all of this effort into him.
[dramatic music playing]
I think that I'm making the right choice to move to Egypt
because it's important for me to be with my husband.
I love Mahmoud more than anything.
But I do have doubts that
Mahmoud and I will be able to deal with our stuff
because up to this point, we haven't been able to
communicate properly to overcome these problems.
[Harold] I'm gonna miss you a lot.
You didn't have to go.
[Nicole] Uh, I know, but I have to do this.
[Harold] Yes. I know.
You gotta be with your husband.
[Wanda speaking]
[Nicole] I love you too. I love you.
-Bye, Dad. -[Harold] Bye. I love you.
[Nicole] I love you so much.
-[Harold] I love you. -[Nicole] All right.
-[Harold] Bye. -[Nicole] Hmm, bye-bye.
[Harold] So, if I don't give you the coat, you'll stay?
[melancholic music playing]
[Nicole] Okay. All right.
See you guys. Love you.
You know, I know what I'm headed into.
And so, I have a lot to deal with when I get there.
So I am afraid.
I'm anxious, nervous.
I can't wait to see Mahmoud.
I just hope this isn't a huge mistake.

Today we're gonna look at apartments
so that I have a place set up to move into in a few months.
[in Spanish]
[upbeat music playing]
I want an apartment that has a dishwasher, and a washer and dryer.
I want two bedrooms.
I want two bathrooms.
I'm gonna be working from home.
So I need to have space to be able to teach yoga classes online.
I want parking.
I want a pool.
I want a terrace.

I think because of the community that I'm looking in,
these apartments are more modern

that have a lot of security and a lot more resources.
But these apartments are more expensive.

[Daniele] I have historically had very co-dependent relationships.
It was like I was always giving so much of myself to someone else
who was not giving anything back.
And I feel like I've moved beyond that.
So, could I bankroll our future forever?
Yes. Do I want to? Absolutely not.
I have no desire to support a grown-ass man for the rest of my life.
If I'm doing all the investing,
both financially and physically,
I'm gonna feel really resentful,
and it's not gonna be a relationship that makes me happy.
[Yohan in Spanish]

I'm worried that if Yohan can't find a way
to meet me halfway and compromise,
that this relationship isn't gonna survive.

Almost there.
I'm excited.
[dramatic music playing]
[Jen] The Indian air is just the first thing that hits me.
It's like there's something about it.
It's like you know you're not in the US anymore.
It feels different than other times I've been in India
because this time I'm actually here to stay.
I just... I'm filled with happiness.
Can't believe it. I'm here.
Yay!
Rishi lives in Jaipur, which is the capital city of Rajasthan
and six hours away from Delhi.
So I'm gonna check in to a hotel for the night,
get some rest, and then tomorrow, I'll finish the journey.
I'm feeling excited, scared,
but I'm also exhausted.
So, regardless of how I'm feeling,
what I'm experiencing, I am ready to sleep.
Oh. Yes.
I have arrived.
I can't believe it.

Jen doesn't know my mom start to look
some girls for arranged marriage
with a Indian girl.
I don't want to share anything about this to Jen
because she's little sensitive.
She start to cry
and she pissed off.
She became emotional.
But she don't need to worry about this,
because if I can't get married to Jen,
I will not get married with any other girl.

I'm finally here in Egypt
and I cannot wait to see my husband Mahmoud.
I can't wait to see his cute little face.
Even though I'm really excited to see Mahmoud,
I'm still really nervous
because I don't know what the future holds.
The longest I've ever stayed in Egypt
is two months.
And now that I'm staying in Egypt indefinitely,
I don't know how that's gonna to be.
I hope we can do it.

-[Nicole speaking] -I miss you so much, honey.
-How are you? -[Nicole speaking]
[Mahmoud speaking]
I wasn't sure if when I arrived
that I'd be able to hug Mahmoud or not.
I don't know if you're even really allowed
to show that much affection here.
But at the same time, I really wanted to show my husband
how much I missed him and how much I love him.
I think it's normal we do that when we are like at airport
or like somewhere like it's normal.
-We do like no problem here. -Mmm-hmm.
-Oh, okay. -Yeah.
So, how are you, honey?
I'm good. I'm so glad to see you.
I'm so happy. How you feel now?
I'm good. I'm now a resident of Egypt.
Are you excited?
I'm a little nervous, but yeah.
-[Mahmoud speaking] -Okay.
It's a really, really long trip, as it always is.
But I'm really happy to be here with my husband.
Yeah, I'm so happy too.
-Yeah. I do. -[Mahmoud speaking]
Baggage would be like the indicator of how much I wanna stay?
Is that what you're telling me?
You're worried that I'm not gonna stay?
Yeah.
Why?
You're so rude.
Yeah.
I just got here, you know, and you're--
I don't even wanna argue about this right now.
[Mahmoud speaking]
I didn't make it hard on you.
Where's your jacket?
Uh, the jacket didn't... Wasn't buttoned up.
-[Mahmoud] Yeah. -And you could see like...
Uh, no. No. No.
I know what it was, and I'm not gonna say it out loud.
-Okay. No. No. -Yeah.
I don't wanna talk about that.
The jacket wasn't covering like my front, the bottom.
-I have long-- -I don't even wanna argue about this right now.
Oh, sorry, my love.
I was hoping that this kind of stuff
wouldn't start the minute that I landed, but it did.
So, hopefully coming back here wasn't a mistake.
This guy is very manipulating.
He's already manipulated my mom to move over there.
My son, Julian, he's afraid Osama's after me for my money.
Suppose this happens like a fairy tale.
What if I wanna drop a little money on him then?
[Julian] Stupidest thing that I've ever heard in my entire life.
I don't trust Osama.
Not one, one bit.
I have to deal with significant pain in my neck.
Eventually, I won't be able to do this.
I will have to have that surgery.
This is the first time Kris tell me about surgery.
[in Spanish]
[man in foreign language]
[woman in foreign language]
[in foreign language]
The rules are just so rigid
and there's no negotiation about it.
[Mahmoud speaking]
The fact that you forced me to do it is ridiculous.
You do force me.
It's clear to me that all of my problems,
when I left Egypt the first time,
they haven't gone anywhere.
They waited for me in Egypt.
How bad could it be
if you introduced me as your fiancee?
They can't let me out.
You're telling me your family is gonna keep you under house arrest?
Yeah, maybe.
You let me know when you wanna be honest with your family about us.
