Season 2 of 90 Day: The Last Resort stars Rob Warne and Sophie Sierra, Ariela Weinberg and Biniyam Shibre, Josh Weinstein and Natalie Mordovtseva, Gino Palazzolo and Jasmine Pineda, Florian Sukaj and Stacey Silva, and Brandon Gibbs and Julia Trubkina.
The six couples all reached a relationship breaking point and decided to spend three weeks at a desert resort in Arizona undergoing a rigorous relationship bootcamp designed to hopefully rebuild trust and connections.
At the resort, the couples work with therapists and counselors to navigate issues of jealousy, anger and intimacy through group therapy and untraditional approaches -- including hypnotherapy, pleasure mapping, sand tray therapy and off-grid excursions into the desert.
At the end of the retreat, each couple must decide if they want to stay together or call it quits on their relationship at the Final Recommitment Ceremony.
90 Day: The Last Resort began with Sophie and Rob trying to fix their problems during a counseling session.
Rob claimed that when he responded to people's DMs on social media, it didn't mean he was "talking" to other women. Sophie said she loved and cared for Rob but he made her "feel terrible" about herself and often hurt her.
"But that's why I'm here; I want to try one last time," Sophie said.
Rob said he could accept that and he also loved Sophie a lot, and so their session ended with a hug.
Afterward, Rob and Sophie tried to ignore their issues and just have fun together. The pair agreed they were willing to try and that was the most they could do.
That night, Stacey and Florian sat down with Darcey Silva for a group therapy session.

Stacey complained about how Darcey "outed" herself right then and there because she acted above her.
Stacey admitted she and Darcey were "too involved" in each other's business, and she complained about how Darcey tended to call Florian in the middle of the night.
"She's very needy, and he's always been there, which is nice -- but not three or four o'clock in the morning," Stacey vented to the counselor.
Darcey insisted that she didn't bother Florian frequently, nor did she remember ever telling Florian that he'd be better off single.
Stacey then asked Florian if he thought about Darcey in a sexual way, and Florian strongly reacted and thought it was a "disgusting" question. Darcey also said she found such a question alarming and offensive since Florian was her brother-in-law.
"He's the one that cheated in the past, but he's making me feel like I'm crazy and insecure," Stacey explained in a confessional.

Darcey assumed she was a "trigger" or "burden" for Stacey amid her marital strife and there was nothing she could do to change that.
Stacey asked Darcey to move with respect and stop calling Florian in the late hours of the night. Stacey attempted to set boundaries, and Darcey seemed fine with that.
"If she wants me out of her life, what am I going to do? She's going to miss me though," Darcey told the cameras.
Stacey didn't feel Darcey was owning up to anything or taking her boundaries seriously, and she said if Darcey didn't respect her wishes, they weren't going to get anywhere in their strained relationship.
Meanwhile, Josh was struggling with how to proceed in his relationship with Natalie.
Josh acknowledged how Natalie had a big heart and cared about his family and so it was hard for him to give up on her. Josh also pointed out how he and Natalie had great physical chemistry, which always helped them bounce back from conflict or arguments.
That evening, Gino told the cast when they were on their way to a bar how Jasmine was being nice to him and if they could keep that dynamic going for longer than a couple of days, their marriage had a chance of surviving and prospering.
Brandon chose not to attend the gathering because Brandon was still upset Julia had filed a K-1 visa for her parents to move to the U.S. without letting him know first.
Julia explained how she needed the support from her family and she hadn't seen her parents in three years, and she hoped Brandon would come around to the idea eventually.
"He doesn't understand how it feels. He has his parents and his best friends," Julia cried to her co-stars.
Darcey then pulled Stacey aside for a chat at the bar, and Darcey apologized to her sister.
Darcey then revealed how she and Florian went out one night with Georgi and Florian walked out of the bar with two blondes. Georgi apparently returned to the same bar later on and bumped into those two girls again.

"What the f-ck?!" Stacey responded.
Darcey said Georgi was shocked by this woman's bold attitude, as if something else had happened and she had more to say.
"Like they hooked up or something?" Stacey asked her sister.
"Maybe a kiss or they got numbers from each other," Darcey suggested.
"I f-cking felt something... I f-cking felt in my gut something was going on," Stacey vented. "I see him flirting all the time."
Stacey said this kept happening -- including the time when Florian had makeup on his shirt -- and she had reached her breaking point. Stacey said it looked like Florian was cheating and she didn't know how they could move forward from this.

Stacey started acting weird around Florian, and he could tell something was up. Stacey asked her husband if he was holding back or had something to tell her, but Florian said that wasn't the case.
Stacey then accused Florian of taking another woman home, and she yelled, "What did you do after hours? Are you f-cking another woman behind my back?!"
"I don't have a license to drive... I don't know what you are saying," Florian claimed.
Florian explained how one of the women lived in their building and he helped her get home because she had drunkenly fallen in the street multiple times. Florian said he simply guided the woman to her place but didn't go into her apartment.

Florian told Stacey that she should believe him over her sister, but then Stacey walked away.
Meanwhile, Jasmine decided to ask Gino if he'd be willing to have an open marriage, or an "ethical non-monogamous marriage," with her so her sexual desires and needs would be fulfilled.
"I wouldn't say it's ethical, but okay," Gino snapped.
Jasmine told Gino that this conversation was serious and genuine.
"These are our options. One option is that you are intimate with me during the time we are here at the resort or you and I sit and come to an agreement for the parameters in our own open marriage for you and me," Jasmine told Gino.
"No, I was pretty clear about the open marriage, and that's not me," Gino replied.
Gino wouldn't agree to either option, and he noted, "It's not all about you getting what you want. I am not going to do an open relationship... This was not my dream when I got married."
Jasmine said her dreams hadn't been realized either, and she told Gino that he was being closed-minded and inflexible.
Gino asked Jasmine if she had someone in mind with whom she'd like to have an open marriage, and Jasmine confirmed, "Yes."
Gino couldn't believe what was going on. This made him think that Jasmine had "an emotional connection with another man prior to coming to therapy" behind his back.
"So you've been cheating then?" Gino asked.

"The last person I want to be with is a cheater. No thanks," Gino said.
Jasmine didn't consider it cheating because this man "could potentially" enter their marriage.
Jasmine said she's been friends with this man from her gym for three months, and Gino said, "Ahh, that's why you've been spending several hours a day at the gym all the time!"
Gino claimed he wasn't surprised at all by that and Jasmine was cheating on him with her boyfriend from the gym.
"That's cheating, and I don't want a cheater in my life. So we're not going to work out," Gino vented.
"Why don't you just accept that you'll never be intimate with me and you're such a selfish person that you don't want me to be with anyone either," Jasmine said.
"Go be with the other guy. You've already ruined it," Gino replied.
Jasmine argued how Gino not giving her any affection and going nine months without sex is what really ruined their relationship -- not her friendship with Matt.
"That's no excuse for cheating, sorry," Gino said.
"I haven't cheated," Jasmine countered.
"You're a cheater. Enjoy your life. Bye," Gino snapped.

But Jasmine insisted in a confessional she had never cheated on Gino and was just trying to be honest with him about how they could save their relationship.
While Gino was trying to calm down, Stacey was spiraling.
The women thought Florian was acting guilty, but Florian accused Darcey of making up this story to try to get back on Stacey's good graces.
Florian accused Stacey of overreacting and Darcey of lying in order to build a stronger relationship with her sister.
Sophie voiced how Florian spoke to Stacey with disrespect, but Rob asked Sophie not to get involved.
The episode ended with Jasmine bawling because she wanted to be intimate with Gino, and only Gino, but he refused to give her what she needed.
"I don't know what to do," Jasmine sobbed while Gino was missing in action.
