[speaking foreign language]
-winter came out of surgery... -Okay.
-...With flying colors. -Hey, that's good!
You wanna see winter?
Hey.
The fact that she's waking up
and talking to us is a good sign.
[speaking foreign language]
[both speaking foreign language]
oh, wow...
Mmesoma and I have become quite close,
but there's a part of me that's a little bit nervous
that he might not approve of the surgery.
The reason why I traveled to mexico
was to have bariatric surgery.
[mmesoma speaking]
oh, mmesoma...
He's making a lot of friends at work,
and that's where he's spending a lot of his time.
He hardly, like, tells me anything about work,
but the way he treats me has changed.
It makes me feel like we don't have a friendship anymore.
[music playing]
I'm so ready to be back in atlanta.
[karen] me too. I am so ready.
At first, coming to mexico
for weight loss surgery was a bit...
...Scary, not gonna--
-ske... Sketchy. -Sketchy.
[chantel] but, seeing how well my sister was taken care of,
I feel good about having surgery in tijuana.
[karen] yeah, I would highly recommend it.
[imitates a zipper]
[chantel] did y'all learn your lesson?
-[karen groaning] -you should pack lightly.
[karen] god, help me.
[winter] mommy?
You ready to see daddy?
-I was ready to see daddy when I left! -[laughs]
[winter well, chantel, you miss pedro?
I see you've bought him a hat.
He's gonna be a real cowboy.
He is a real cowboy!
-That's right... -Yee-haw!
Yee-haw!
[chantel] since the dr,
things have been so tense with pedro.
But, I want to be proactive on making our marriage better.
I think that our problem is definitely communication,
because we hardly communicate in the home.
He's playing video games,
and I'm in a different room, doing who-knows-what.
I feel anxious to get back to pedro,
so that we can work on our issues.
I don't wanna let it sit.
I miss him and I am excited to see him.
I just want to get the same reaction from him.
[upbeat music playing]
[speaking foreign language]
[yelling in foreign language]
-[chantel] what? -[glass bottle smashing]
[yelling]
[speaking foreign language]
[phone ringing]
-hi. -[nicole] hi.
[pedro speaking foreign language]
okay.
[speaking foreign language]
[pedro speaking foreign language]
[chantel] we could get a crate for them.
Set it right there in the corner.
[pedro]
[alejandro] I bought a gift for him,
but he didn't open the gift.
That was very disrespectful and insulting.
You don't know everything about me.
And you're criticizing me, judging me!
I don't wanna fight you.
[grunting]I don't wanna fight you, man.
[speaking foreign language]
[pedro speaking foreign language]
okay.
Okay.
[dial tone]
[nicole speaking]
[music playing]
[exhales] we made it!
[karen] girls power.
[chantel] after a long day of travel, finally,
we're back in atlanta, and we're ready to go home.
♪ we are going home!♪
[chantel] are you gonna call mmesoma when you get home?
It was my plan, to talk to him.
Mmesoma is my friend, and I'm happy that he's my friend.
But you like him more than friends.
Well, I don't know if he feels the same way,
but I know, for me, it's strange to, like,
like somebody that you have not met before.
-At least you and pedro... -[chantel] well, at least you had conversations...
...Got a chance to experience each other.
I mean, but, it was just like that in the beginning.
I experienced him over the phone.
I experienced him over text and social media...
[winter] so, what, did you like it, when it was like that?
Oh, yeah, well, we liked each other.
Hello!
Because, you have to learn english!
[chantel speaking]
-I love you, babe. -I love you too.
-[kissing] -[kissing]
what was your conversation language?
"what you got on?"
who asked that, you or pedro?
Both of us.
"show me what you've got on."
"okay."
[all laughing]
when we first were dating online,
I felt like...
...He was a crazy person.
I even asked my friends, I was like,
oh my god, I feel like this man is, like, insane.
Look how many times he told me he loved me.
Look how many times he told me I'm beautiful.
I think he's crazy,
he's probably a serial killer,
how crazy he is.
But no, he was just in love.
Like, when did you officially be, like,
oh, I'm dating this guy?
-After the first trip. -[winter] see?
But we didn't say we were just friends,
we said we were talking to each other.
So, okay, but what's the difference? Just friends talking,
-I don't really even-- -'cause we're a love interest.
When my sister asked me about the beginnings of our relationship,
it makes me sad,
because it was so happy, so full of life,
and, it just, you know,
it makes you wonder what changed,
between dating and now.
We knew everything about each other.
We felt like we could read each other's minds.
And now, we are the furthest thing from that.
[nicole speaking foreign language]
[chantel] pedro?
You're gonna have to open up to me.
I don't know what's on your mind like I used to.
[upbeat music playing]
[chantel] oh, my god.
What happened here?
[chantel] pedro?
What is all of this mess?
[chantel] um, yes, it looks like a mess to me.
What, what happened, a disaster?
[chantel] huh.
[chantel sighs]
I don't know where we're gonna put it, but...
[exhales] good job, amor. Good job.
Look what I got you, honey.
-Ooh... -I know that you're gonna like this.
And open these up.
Do it now, right now.
What do you think?
They look good! Perfect fit!
[chantel laughs]
do you like your gifts?
-Yeah. -Do you like your hat and shoes?
How do the shoes feel?
The feel good?
I did good, right?
Pedro!
[chantel] I don't like to hear that.
Okay, I don't tell you what to do, come on.
My trip was good, um,
winter's surgery went very well.
How's everything been with you?
Passion?
[emphasizing] pageant.
Pageant! Pageant.
[laughing softly]
wow.
I love to see melanated people,
you know, winning pageants and things,
but do you think that she is a good representative for the country?
[pedro]
[chantel] her behavior, like,
the total opposite of a graceful,
poised pageant queen.
[exhales]
[chantel] really?
'cause you're trying to avoid talking about your feelings.
I've seen that it's, you know, deeply bothering you,
and you've been really disturbed lately.
It's hard to watch.
I feel like you've been distant from me lately, too,
and I don't want us to drift further apart.
I want to be able to support you, as a wife.
And part of that, is...
...You're gonna have to open up to me,
-and communicate with me, -[pedro] mm-hmm.
-What's going on inside. -Mm-hmm. Mm.
Okay?
Pedro has changed since the trip to the dr,
because he's distant.
He doesn't have open dialogue with me anymore.
Everything is surface-level, if anything at all.
I don't know why pedro doesn't want to talk
to his own wife about his feelings, but...
...Right now, he doesn't communicate with me.
We used to be in sync, and now we're not.
I want you to start opening up to me,
and telling me everything.
Like I'm your wife.
[chantel] okay.
How can I support you if I don't know how you feel?
Okay.
[pedro]
[music playing]
vamos.
[both speaking foreign language]
[doctor]
[speaking foreign language]
[doctor speaking foreign language]
[nicole speaking]
[both laughing]
[coraima speaking foreign language]
[doctor speaking foreign language]
[laughing]
I think you have, like, a leaking problem.
Look at these corners.
[exasperated laugh]
feels like pedro works so much, all of a sudden.
Remember, don't neglect quality time.
-I'll show you what me and daddy do in our private time. -I don't wanna see it.
-You wanna see it? It's right down here. -No, I don't wanna see it.
-I've got it on my phone. -Ew.
[pedro speaking]
-pedro? -[pedro speaking]
[laughs nervously]
[maruzella] oh, my god.
Fine, you?
Okay, so these need to be replaced.
The sink too, right?
Yeah, yeah, I can see the wood, yes.
How big is the property?
[judgmental groan]
[maruzella] pedro is new, and, you know, I just met him,
he's doing good, but he needs, maybe,
a little bit more information.
Maybe he feels nervous, because he's new, you know?
And he wants to try to get a good impression, you know?
Siding is in a good condition.
Maybe they have to be replaced,
this part of the wood.
I think you have, like, a leaking problem. Do you think so?
[maruzella] see this--
-we can go to the second floor? -Yes.
Because, you know, I see we need solid upgrades.
-You wanna go first? -Oh, let me go first. Yes.
Yeah, maybe, we don't know what we're gonna find on the second floor.
[exasperated laugh]
oh my god, this very small...
Do you see that, too, in the corner?
Maybe that's leaking water.
And then need windows replacement.
So I just wanna know if they really willing
to low, a little bit, the price.
Look at these corners.
-Thank you so much, maru, for coming. -No...
[maruzella] no, no, no, you're good.
Think you're gonna do good in this business.
Do you like it yet?
Do you have time for your family?
You have children?
[maruzella] you married, right? Oh?
Oh, that's nice.
[maruzella] just let me think.
I'm not desperate.
I have many houses already, so I don't care.
[both laughing]
[maruzella] yes, bye-bye!
Do you have coffee?
No, no, no! [laughs]
-[laughs] -[maruzella] thank you, bye-bye!
-Hi! -[karen speaking]
look what I found.
Oh, I love that!
-It's so adorable! Look at this! -Isn't that adorable?
Guess what?
My son and my daughter-in-law,
royal and angenette, are expecting.
I'm about to be a glammy, y'all!
Yeah, a real glammy!
-Yes! -Why not just granny?
-Let's be granny. -You're gonna make me cuss you out.
Granny, granny! I'm going to my granny's!
Why don't you wanna be called grandma or granny?
Because I am too fabulous to be called granny.
Don't you just love it?
I know!
How old is this for?
-Is this for newborn? -It's probably for, um...
Let's read, maybe it's three month?
[karen] royal and angenette moved far away,
so that they wouldn't have to go through their alleged stress,
from us,
and they could go on and start to build a family.
[chantel] it was a long time
before I actually had a conversation with angenette,
but, our relationship has progressed,
and I'm excited to be an aunt.
Or an [in british accent] aunt.
-What is, which one-- -okay, so it depends on what part of the country you're in.
So, in a certain part of the country, you're an aunt.
Like, maybe down the south.
But, if you're, like, a northerner, it's an [in british accent] aunt.
I'm going to be an aunt.
You know what?
Pedro told me that nicole's participating in a pageant.
[laughing] wait a minute!
Did you just say what I thought you said?
Uh-huh.
-[laughing] -in a national beauty pageant.
I know, it's laughable, right?
-[snickering] -I think that physically, she has a chance.
I can see her beauty, even though...
...It's hard,
-because of how ugly she is on the inside. -[laughing]
she could have a chance physically, but,
-to think that she could be... -[laughing]
...A good representation of her country?
After storming into a hotel, barefoot,
-throwing glass bottles? -[laughing]
and having the police called on her?
-[laughing] you just... -Here, here, here, glammy...
[exhales] oh, god...
[chuckling] okay...
Oh, my gosh...
She has three chances,
really, I think she has three.
Slim, fat...
...And none.
[laughs]
feels like pedro works so much, all of a sudden, like he's...
...Throwing himself into it, and that's all he does.
I want you guys to remember,
don't neglect quality time.
Quality time together.
-[chuckling] -okay, I hear you.
Let me spell it out.
I mean quality time.
It's none of your business.
[gasps] what?
Do you know who you're talkin' to?
It's none of your business what I'm doing
in quality time with pedro.
It's not her place to know.
-Why? -Because this is private.
I'll show you what me and daddy do,
-in our private time. -I don't wanna see it.
-You wanna see it? It's right down here. -No, I don't wanna see it.
-I got it on my phone. -Ew.
I'm sorry,
but it's not your business.
It's hard to talk about baby stuff with my mom,
because I am not where I expected to be at my age.
Pedro and I are, mentally,
not in a loving state.
We're not even physically in a capable state,
of making a baby.
Like, we need to start the fire,
back in the relationship,
before we can even make, there's just no possibility of a baby yet.
[speaking foreign language]
I'm trying to speak your love language.
-What-- -I'm not trying to be your servant.
Recognize when someone's doing something nice for you,
and not be rude to them.

[nicole speaking]
[both speaking foreign language]
[nicole speaking]
[nicole] bye!
[nicole speaking foreign language]
[man speaking spanish in background]
[man speaking]
[nicole speaking]
[man speaking]
I've been picking up after you,
-I said-- -for about two weeks!
Doing everything that a good wife should!
So it has to be something else!
At this point, this is a dry desert,
and this is not what our relationship was before.
We would make love all the time,
and he would, you know, "pinky, pinky,"
he hardly even calls me that now.
So what's going on with you, pedro?
[chantel sighs]
[chantel] it's been a few weeks since getting back from mexico.
I've been trying to really come to the table with,
"I want to make you happy."
I wanna fulfil the expectations that you have of a wife,
so I've been doing the cooking, and doing the cleaning.
You know, I put my pride aside,
to say, I'm gonna pick up your dirty drawers and your socks.
And trying my best, every day,
but, his actions toward me are not changed.
Maybe he's...
...You know, feeling that now that I'm graduated,
and I'm at a hospital,
like he's playing catch-up.
I don't know what's going on with him.
Like, there's some disconnect in our communication,
and it's just gotten worse,
and more magnified.
Like, it was kinda there before.
But I had the tolerance.
But now it's just more magnified, I don't know.
-Good morning! -[pedro speaking]
making you your six eggs.
Scrambled.
Since when don't you like scrambled eggs, with cheese?
[chantel] scramble...
They're already, like...
You don't want these eggs?
Okay, I'll get you boiled eggs.
[pedro speaking]
[chantel] what time do you work?
So, have you noticed anything?
Yeah.
And it's a lot cleaner, huh?
Your jacket is in one place,
with your laptop,
and...
...Some more of your items.
-Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. -So you can grab them and go.
[chantel] so--
I did.
Yes.
Yeah, I did.
I did put it there.
If you want more salt, you can put more salt yourself.
But I did put salt there.
Pedro.
Since when do you talk to me like that?
You think this is funny?
Why didn't you just say, "oh, pinky,
that's sweet, that you tried to make me some scrambled eggs in the morning."
thank you for your effort!
Because, guess what? I'm trying to speak
your love language, okay?
I'm not trying to be your servant.
Pedro, you are so ungrateful!
Yeah, you don't know how to say thank you!
Okay. Okay, finish it.
[pedro] okay.
[chantel] pedro...
...You're ungrateful, you don't know how to say thank you...
...Unappreciative.
Unappreciative!
I'm not saying you have to say thank you for every little thing,
but why don't you recognize when someone's doing something nice for you,
and not be rude to them?
I have been studying you like a science project.
Down to how many eggs that you eat.
I've been cleaning your dirty drawers,
picking up after you, for about two weeks.
Doing everything that a good wife should!
Everything that a good wife should!
And I haven't seen any change,
or positive feedback from you,
so it has to be something else.
So what's going on with you, pedro?
I want the old pedro back.
You haven't been kissing me,
and you haven't been hugging me.
Because, we haven't had sex in months.
So why are you doing that?
So, why?
[chantel] at this point, this is a dry desert,
and this is not what our relationship was before.
We would make love all the time,
and he would, you know, "pinky, pinky,"
he hardly even calls me that now.
We were so lovey-dovey before,
I don't know what's happened since the dr,
but that's when all this behavior began.
[cries softly]
[pedro speaking]
[chantel sniffling]
-hola! -Hello, hello!
-[chantel] hi! -Hola, [indistinct]
I got you here,
and now, you need to show me some respect.
Ooh, you guys are giving me indigestion!
[thomas] so chantel, your mother and I was wondering,
seemed like you all were very,
there was a lot of tension in between you all.
He probably was tired.
Suddenly, there's a change in the chemistry
between chantel and pedro.
So, if I need to get to the bottom of this,
I will. Trust me.
