Atlanta has no shortage of cute guys.
Chris is hot.
OK. Mesoma, now Chris.
I think it's great.
I think if he's hanging out with these friends at work,
you hang out with these friends at work.
But I might have to put some people in their place.
Hey.
So he came home with his key fob, and it had Antonella's name on it.
Antonella,
do you see how that could kind of get a rise out of me?
So what are you going to do?
That's the first step to a divorce, Pedro.
Work is getting so stressful, I think I'm getting burned out.
Oh, no. I just don't know how you do it.
I don't know how you do it.
Trying to gather the data on Chantel and Pedro,
it's difficult to read Chantel.
She's a hard, I don't want to say "nut to crack," but yeah.
I saw the back and forth between Chantel and Pedro
at the housewarming party.
And then she left her house in the middle of the night,
going to River's place.
So we're definitely concerned
about Pedro and Chantel's relationship.
But if Chantel doesn't tell us anything, we can't help her.
I keep trying, but she keeps shutting me out.
She said, "It's none of your concern."
Whatever. Oh, well.
This is not how we normally do things in this family.
So you know what? I've got my eye on this.
Or my nunchucks.
Uh-oh. Here we go.
After you, my dear, my precious.
OK. So this is my favourite store. Oh, it's nice in here.
Hello, beautiful. Hi.
My mum has roped me into going to an antique shop today,
and something about a piano.
My mum is concerned
and wants to know what's going on with me,
but I'm still not giving an inch
about what's going on between Pedro and I,
including Pedro telling me he wants a separation.
Although it may seem like I'm putting on an act for my family,
it's really not.
It's just boundaries. I am creating boundaries right now.
Can you play it? Well, well, only in my imagination.
But you know how I love music.
I'm sure it won't take me long.
Yeah, it's a lovely piano.
I know that she cares about me and she's worried,
but I want to be a grown adult and handle this on my own.
If anybody should be supporting me, it should be my husband.
So I'll keep beating a dead horse until it comes alive.
You see that bracelet in the middle, the centre one?
OK. The green one?
Yes. That's so beautiful.
Yeah. I think that's my birthstone.
It is your birthstone. Yeah.
You know, I hate that,
that things haven't changed for you yet,
that, you know, things,
things are going crazy between you and Pedro.
But give it time. Yeah.
Don't do anything rash.
I'm not going to take any advice from anybody.
I'm not going to tell you all of the intricate details
of what's going on between us.
And I'm going to handle things on my own.
It's my life, my relationship,
and I don't want to talk about it anymore.
You have to give it time.
I, I know these things, trust me.
I'm trying to be patient
but I feel like things have been wrong for so long now
and it doesn't seem like it's getting any better,
so I'm kind of tired of being patient.
Well, never tire of patience, dear.
Always remember, in all things, you are not alone, ever.
Ever. I know.
Seeing my children upset,
I want to help them like when they were little
and got a scraped knee.
I want to tend to them.
I want them to feel better.
I want to get some understanding as to what has happened to them.
After all, that's the only way I can help,
is if I have some clarity, some understanding.
We're going to keep trying.
Even if she doesn't call us, we're going to call her.
We're going to keep trying
because we definitely love our daughter and we love our kids.
That's right.
Let's go get you that bracelet. Aw. Thank you.
You're quite welcome.
Hey. What's up?
Got Leon under contract.
Yeah.
How are you?
How's everything?
Don't worry about it.
I think you guys were having your own issues,
and then she just jumped to conclusions.
And that's why she exploded like she did.
But I... I feel really bad
because I had no idea that she was, she felt that type of way.
If I knew, I would've talked to her before
and, you know, cleared things up.
At the same time, you know, it does look bad.
Like, you know, just you going out, working all the time, you know,
and you're not spending time with her.
Want to talk together?
It's nobody's fault. I mean, it happened.
Yeah. I mean, nobody needs to know your personal business.
But those are things that you guys need to handle at home.
It's alright.
How you doing?
You're OK?
He doesn't have to apologise to us. You know?
He really doesn't. But the fact that he did, it's cool.
You know, and it's, it's done.
It does bother me to hear that, you know,
part of the problem is that Pedro is coming to the office,
because this is work and, you know, and it's OK to have friends.
You know, she has friends
and he should be allowed to have friends too.
But from the beginning, we've always said, "Where's Chantel?
"Where's Chantel? Why is she not here?"
Right. "Call her up."
Because we understand as women
that it is important to give her her place.
Are you guys going to do counselling?
It's just defensive.
Did she react the best way? Probably not.
But you have to understand
that her thoughts just take her to a negative place.
I can't graduate.
Yes, I understand.
I understand that you feel like you can't start your life.
So you feel like she's being selfish?
I know you're going through it,
but try to put your focus on things that make you feel good.
Then let's make money.
Well, no. Thanks for trusting us.
Because at the end of the day, you're both good kids.
I really do want this to work out for your sake, for her sake.
You're good.

Hello.
It was hard.
All day today at work,
I was thinking about what had happened yesterday
and what I really want.
I don't want a separation.
I don't want him to move out of the house.
The moment he moves out of the house,
I feel like it'll be over.
How was work?
I thought I was doing a good thing by coming to see your friends,
to hang out with them, but...
..it wasn't.
I'm upset and I can't hold it back anymore.
And we don't talk at home.
Like, this is unusual.
When I get the chance to talk to you about something
and I think you're going to listen, it all just spills out.
Yeah.
And I'm sorry that I did that in front of your co-workers.
I mean, you're entitled to do what you think is best.
I don't want it.
Now you know why I feel pathetic,
because essentially I feel like I've been begging for affection
and begging for attention that I never get.
As a woman, it makes me feel pathetic and...
Yeah, I feel pathetic. Yeah, I don't want...
How do I make it better?
"Oh, this is productive.
"I'm glad we're getting one step closer to a divorce."
What kind of response were you thinking?
"I'm glad that we're getting a separation.
"This is going to really help our relationship."
I don't know anyone who's separated and gotten back together, baby.
I don't.
How is separating going to help us?
It's ignoring the problem and drifting further apart.
OK.
You ignore me.
And I guess that's why you want a separation,
so you can continue to do just that.
2 00:20:31.520 -- 00:20:32.880 align:middle line:90% position:50% Wow.
This is so pretty. I love this. Mum.
Yes.
What do you think about this? It's very pretty.
That is very pretty. Don't you like this colour?
I do like that colour.
I didn't really open up to my parents about my dating
when I was younger.
I was very private.
My mum, she had a no-guys-in-the-house rule,
so we had to chill outside.
As a teenager, and then River would come out
and play ball with them and I would just watch them.
And be like, "OK. What you doing?"
So I'm going to go on my date with a guy named Zacc.
Where are you going on a date?
You know, I don't really know. I made some suggestions.
I told him that I wanted go horseback riding,
I want to take a cooking class.
I met Zacc on the same app that I met Chris on.
And we texted for a little bit,
and then we decided that it's time to make a date.
Oh, wow. That's him.
What's he say?
He said, "Can't wait to see you."
Aw. Well, that's nice.
That's so sweet. I'm very nervous.
I've only seen him in pictures.
Is he who he says he is? I don't know.
Tell me something about Zacc.
OK. Well, he is 27.
So you met him on the Christian dating app.
So you think he's a Christian. Is that right?
I mean, I'm guessing.
Why would you be on the app if you're not a Christian?
Keep your guard up. OK.
That's all I'm saying.
I'm kind of old-fashioned.
I feel more comfortable with Winter meeting people
in the traditional way.
So just be careful.
I had just had my surgery.
I didn't have energy to like get up and walk around
and go find these dates out places.
So where else was I going to find them other than online?
I mean, I had a lot of time to kill.
Right. True, that. And don't say that.
Don't say you had time... I had a lot of time to...
Time to live.
That is the look.
Who are you?
Bad Girl Winnie.
Oh, wow, Bad Girl Winnie.
But no. Like Bad Girl Winnie is really just,
it's kind of like an alter ego that I put on.
Does she go out in the night?
Sometimes.
What does she do in the night? It's a secret. I can't tell you.
OK. Oh, Lord.
Winter, that young man has messaged you three times
in the past three minutes.
It just shows like that he is excited about seeing me.
He's that excited? Well, Winter, you must be Bad Girl Winnie.
Yes. I got the sauce. I got the juice.
I got it all. I love to love.
I love to be in love. I'm a nurturer.
I give a lot to the person that I'm with.
But not everyone deserves that.
What do you think about this hat?
I can dig it.
You know, like you go on these dates and meet these people.
And all of these people, they're pretty great people.
But are they your person? You know?
And so I'm learning how to say, "OK, Winter,
"yes, that's a good person, but you can't take him home."
Plus, I'm living at home with my parents,
so it's, yeah, it wouldn't work.
That's the shirt, this is the outfit right here.
Well, I went to the nutritionist with Chantel the other day.
Chantel's very supportive.
I was happy that she was there with me.
I opened up about some things that were very personal
that I never really talked to anyone about.
I don't even know if I talked to you about it.
But before having the surgery,
I just remember being so self-conscious about eating
and how I would just, I don't know, mentally,
like I would, I was mentally hard on myself about it.
I would have like such a negative self-talk about eating,
regardless if I was eating healthy
or if was eating something that wasn't normally healthy.
So I opened up about that with, with Abby,
and Chantel was very remorseful for it.
But I didn't want her to be remorseful,
because I don't want her sympathy.
I'm just sharing an experience.
Right. It just is. It's no longer, yeah.
Right. It's happened already. I'm over it.
There's nothing that I can do to change it.
I can only live from here.
Well, maybe such was, what she was expressing
that she was sorry that you had to go through that.
Well... And I think that's quite OK.
That's normal. That's OK.
Yeah. Yeah.
Let her have that. That's normal. Yeah.
So in the past, I had an unhealthy relationship with food.
I had a lot of anxiety and just shame
when it came to eating in general, especially eating in public.
So I would, would restrict what I would eat or have.
Just so much, so many different thoughts running through my mind
when I was eating
that it made the experience not enjoyable.
My sister, she had no idea.
And of course she wouldn't, because I never told anyone.
I, I felt embarrassed and shame.
So I'm just sharing my experience.
I want to be the best version of myself,
which means being open and honest with myself
and the people who can help me.
When I saw Chantel, she was not herself.
She was not her bubbly self.
She was not smiling
and she just had this plain look on her face, no emotion whatsoever.
She wasn't even talking that much.
How was she when you saw her?
You know, Chantel, I asked her how her and Pedro were,
and she said that she's fine, just like usual.
Well that's good.
But I was trying to figure out, well, what does that mean, "usual."
Like... Well..
..you ran out of your house. What does "usual" mean?
Chantel is very like vague.
Because like at first when we were just talking about my dates
and things like that, she was open. She had so much to say.
But when it came to me talk,
asking her how she was or like how are her and Pedro,
she was very quiet and it got cold kind of.
You know? Like a ghost? Like a ghost...
Kind of. ..came into the room?
Yeah. Like, she was like pulled back. She wasn't herself.
And I just, I don't know.
I want to be there for her.
I'm actually a little hurt
because I feel like I'm so open with Chantel,
I share a lot with her,
and she's just so closed and wants to keep it all to herself.
It does, it makes me feel a little bit,
it makes me feel like, well,
maybe I need to start holding some things to myself.
You know?
But I don't want to change who I am.
What do you think? You look great, Winter.
Think so?
I know so, and I want you to know it.
I would wear a belt, but all my belts don't fit anymore.
Hallelu. Hallelu. I know. Hallelujah to that one.
Hallelu.
So, before Winter went through her weight-loss journey,
everything she did was very, extremely modest.
It seemed like the person Winter was dealing with at that time,
he didn't want Winter to shine.
She was so fixated on Jah, and I was very concerned about it.
Right.
I always would tell her, "You look dishevelled.
"Why are you wearing those things? Is he making you wear that?"
Have a great time. Be safe.
Bye, Mummy. I love you.
But right now, Winter's definitely doing fine
and she is happy, and we're happy because she seems to be healthier.
I would like for her to still take it slow.
Online dating is safe,
but there could be some sheep in wolves' clothing, I guess.
I don't know. You're right about that.
(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)
When she gave me the news that the baby didn't make it,
I was feeling terrible.
Because I was ready to marry her and have a family with her,
and she told me that she is ready to have that with me as well.
So it's been easy for none of us.
2 00:32:13.360 -- 00:32:15.560 align:middle line:90% position:50% Hey. Hey. How's it going?
It's going good. That's good. That's good.
Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you as well.
Zacc. Winter. Nice to meet you.
Winter, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.
Wow. This man is tall and he is attractive,
but I was not expecting him to meet me outside.
Oh, gosh.
I didn't have any time to like prep myself for anything
because he's already right there. He could see me.
So we can head on in.
I just wanted to plan this, you know, cook.
Oh, wow. Yes, it's going to be great.
Hello. How are you, Lynne? Good. I'm Lynne. I'm your chef.
Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.
Thank you for setting this up for us.
Winter. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you too, Winter.
I'm a few months post-op, so this cooking-class date,
it does make me a little bit nervous for when it's time to eat our food.
We're going to make Caesar salad, garlic mashed potatoes...
OK. ..and chicken piccata.
Alright. Let's do it. OK.
I can eat more than two spoonfuls of food,
but I still can't eat what everyone else can eat.
It might be a little bit difficult in that aspect.
But I do not plan on telling Zacc about my surgery.
He hasn't earned it.
Crown me. OK. You're a badass.
There we go. Is it true?
I think so, I think I'm pretty good in the kitchen. Yeah.
OK. Thank you so much.
I know that cooking sometimes does involve teamwork.
So, I thought it was a great opportunity
to see how our chemistry rose
and to see our conversation
and see how that will unravel as well.
Grab those anchovies.
Just dump them right on top of the garlic.
Right on top? Right on top.
There you go. Now keep chopping away.
Chop, chop, chop. Look at him, he's chopping...
Wow. Yeah, you look like a professional.
I look like a pro? Yeah.
Winter, you can grate the cheese.
I love cheese.
Professional grater over here.
Yeah, you know.
And Winter, you are going to slowly drizzle,
and you whisk, whisk, whisk.
Faster. Whisk faster.
Yes. Go, go, go. Harder. Yeah. Go, go, go.
Good job, guys. Keep going.
Saucing, I'm saucing. Got a little fancy too.
So do you have any children?
I do not. Children-free, praise the Lord.
I don't want to have kids until I'm married.
That's... That makes a lot of sense.
Yes. Me too.
I personally don't want to have children until I'm married.
That's great. That's awesome.
I've already dated a man with kids.
And the ending and separation, it really hurt me deeply.
And I'm pretty sure it hurt his, the children.
I don't think I need to do that experience again.
OK. Thank you. You can sit here. Absolutely.
Have you ever been married before?
I have not. I had a couple close calls, but...
Wow. A couple? Yes. I've been engaged twice.
Oh, my gosh.
I tend to fall hard, I tend to fall quick,
and I tend to commit very quick.
I think that the fact that he's been engaged twice
is a yellow flag.
You know, it's good that he knows that he wants to be married
and he's going after it, but then it's happened twice.
And you're only 27.
My first engagement, I was with her for about two years, three years,
before I proposed.
Second relationship,
as I grew to knew her through our engagement,
I realised that this is not someone
I want to live the rest of my life with.
Oh. Yeah.
I too was engaged. OK.
Just once, though. Just once. Got you.
What would you consider like the ideal, perfect date?
I think I'll know it when I see it.
OK.
OK. Sounds great.
What about you?
I am the type that would literally like, get a guitar on a picnic
and like play it in the middle of a beautiful day,
like today.
I like all that type of, you know, hopeless-romantic type of stuff.
I was a little nervous, you know... Yeah.
..because I met you online. It's kind of...
Well, that's how I feel about online dating too,
but it's put a good taste in my mouth. Right?
Really? OK.
This is a great experience. I really enjoyed this.
I hope you enjoyed what I put together
with this cooking class.
I was trying to be creative.
And so hopefully, it did the trick.
OK. Cheers to the chicken. Let's cheers to the chicken.
Oh, my gosh. Wow. Oh, my gosh.
It was the best chicken breast that I have ever made.
Zacc and I, we created very good food.
But I felt like his energy wasn't coming towards me.
I could tell by the way he sat in the chair.
I could tell by the direction of his gaze.
It was like he was avoiding eye contact.
And was just like, "OK. Hey, talk to people.
"You look in their eyes."
The fact that he was speaking about his past relationships
that didn't work out.
Like, just our chemistry, it just wasn't there.
I mean, I was happy to be there.
We had a great time,
but it didn't feel romantically charged.
It just felt...
..eh.
That's good. Wow.
Exhale, placing those hands back down on the mat.
Stepping those feet back. Step on the top of your mat.
Inhale.
Exhale full direct centre.
Alright.
Woo. That was an intense workout, girl.
Yes, it was.
How often do you come over here?
Three times a week.
Does Pedro come to the gym with you too?
He doesn't anymore.
How did your dinner go the other night
when you met with his friends?
He was like, "What are you doing here?"
He wasn't happy to see me at all.
He's looking at me with disgust and anger, and I feel out of place.
And I addressed Antonella about the keys
and the game of ownership that they have in the office.
And they kind of played it be like,
oh, it was just a little innocent game.
Why was he angry?
Honestly, I was being a little bit emotional with his co-workers.
But... We talked about not being emotional.
We talked about you coming in and... But it was hard...
I know, but.. ..when I don't have my husband
like to back me up and to say... Yeah.
.."Hey, babe. This is a seat. Let me introduce you to my friends."
And so after he wouldn't introduce you,
what happened? Like, did you all like eat dinner together and...
Oh, no. Pedro left.
Oh, so he just abandoned you. Yeah.
And when I got home,
Pedro said to me that he wants a separation.
Wow.
I'm really shocked right now to hear that their marriage is deteriorating
right in front of my eyes.
And it just seems like nothing she can do
is able to bring any resolve to the scenario.
It's just hard to believe
that you all have been married for so long,
and all of a sudden he wakes up
and he's like, "Oh, I don't like my wife anymore."
I truly feel like he's resenting you for something.
That's why I think that I need to go and show him
that I'm willing to do anything for our marriage to work.
So I have this idea that maybe I fly to the Dominican Republic
and I try to repair things with his mother.
Like, you thought meeting with his friends was bad. Like, no.
We've seen what happens when you like meet with his family.
It's actually like hindered your marriage even more.
Yeah.
OK. What about his sister?
Because you know they're a package deal. No.
You know they're a package deal. Well...
So it's going to be one of those things
where you've got to get emotionally together,
because mum comes with sister, sister comes with mum.
I'm not emotionally together.
So why are we going to the Dominican Republic?
Because I have to.
I want to demonstrate that I am willing to talk to his mum
and to reach out an olive branch and try to make things work.
And by doing that,
maybe he'll see that a relationship with me is worth it.
I know that this is crazy, impulsive and even desperate,
but in my heart, I know that I'm doing the right thing.
It might be the only thing that can save my marriage.
I really think you need to run it past your, your family.
Like, I need, I think you maybe need to ask Mum or River.
No, I can't tell my mum. I can't tell anybody.
So what are you going to say to them
when they, they see you like almost every other day?
I'm going to lie.
This all sounds bad.
You're lying to your family.
It just sounds like it's just a recipe for disaster.
But when... Here goes the "but"?
..my marriage is saved
and when Pedro sees the progress I've made with his family,
his opinion... It'll all be worth it.
..it'll be all worth it.
His opinion is the only thing that I care about.
I don't fully agree with her flying to the D.R.,
especially by herself,
because she's been in such hostile situations
with Pedro's family where she needed backup.
I hope she changes her mind.
But if she really feels in her heart that this is going to benefit
and she's coming in with those pure intentions,
I hope to God Nicole doesn't mess it up.
Even if I don't agree with you going to the D.R.,
I support you and I'm here for you.
And I hope you know that.
Thank you.
I'm going to the D.R. for Pedro
with the intention of talking to his family
to figure something out.
I'm willing to do anything at this point.
Well, apparently, there's trouble in paradise.
They're having trouble
about cleaning up or something.
So with Pedro acting like a (BLEEP)
in the middle of the night, saying, "Oh, you got to clean up, Pinkie."
That doesn't seem right.
That, that, that doesn't even add up to me.
