ASHLEY and JAY

Ashley just had the worst night of her life when she kicked Jay out of her home.

Ashley said she felt "pissed and numb" and was still trying to process what had happened. She believed Jay had used her for a Green Card, and so she changed the locks to her house so Jay could never get inside again.

Ashley's friend said Ashley would eventually break down because she had been "head over heels in love" with Jay. Ashley said Jay sent her mixed messages in which he had been begging for a second chance or expressing rage saying he planned to ruin her life.


Ashley intended to file for divorce and couldn't wait for Jay to be out of her life for good. She was back to square one and said her relationship with Jay was definitely over -- that they'd "never be together again."

Ashley then consulted with a divorce attorney and revealed Jay had slept with another woman. She therefore filed divorce papers, saying she no longer had any interest in being married to Jay.

The divorce attorney said Jay would have to consult with an immigration attorney as a result of the fact Ashley had never filed for his adjustment of status. Ashley chose to go with a no-fault claim because it was faster than filing a fault claim in which Jay would be accused of adultery.

"I want to do what's quickest to get out of it," Ashley said.

If Jay disappeared and didn't want to sign the divorce filing paperwork, Ashley learned she'd have to hire a private investigator to find him, which would cost about $75 an hour. Ashley, however, didn't want to waste any more time or money on Jay.

Jay was then shown messaging Ashley the following: "I love you so much and just want you to know that and I'm really sorry I put you through so much unhappiness. I wish I could stay with you forever and make up for what I have done but you need time to [think]. Just know I will always love you endlessly and I wish we can work this out."

Ashley had tears in her eyes when the divorce process started because she loved Jay and would have trouble getting over this, but she insisted turning back was not an option.

Ashley later invited Jay to her house so he could sign the divorce filing paperwork her lawyer had prepared.

Jay never thought Ashley was really going to go through with a divorce, so he couldn't believe it and didn't know what he was going to do.


Jay refused to sign the papers because he wanted to work things out with her, and he didn't want to be deported back to Jamaica or be locked up in jail.

Ashley, however, insisted she wasn't going to take Jay anywhere or give him any money unless he signed the divorce paperwork. But instead of cooperating, Jay took off and went walking down the street alone.

Jay was upset Ashley wanted to go through with all of this on-camera, and he just wanted to be left alone.

Ashley was feeling "exhausted" and "numb" after days of a stressful breakup, and Jay apparently felt the same way. He didn't have any money and admitted he had messed up really bad.

Jay didn't think he deserved to be with Ashley, but he told the cameras, "I love her and appreciate everything she has done for me. But everyone makes mistakes and you just have to move forward from them."

Jay then walked back to Ashley's house, and she threw the divorce filing paperwork on the table. Jay ultimately signed the papers, and then Ashley agreed to buy Jay a plane ticket to Miami, FL, so he could go live there with his brother.

Jay felt "really sad" and never predicted his marriage to Ashley would end this way. He wanted a second chance but knew he had no say in the matter.

Ashley took Jay to a hotel for the night and said she never wanted to see him again.

"Our marriage is over," Ashley noted. "I don't think it's hit me yet. I'm sure it will tonight when I go home by myself. I don't feel relieved right now because I'm hurt, but I know it's for the best."

Jay wished he had been true to Ashley and confessed he let a beautiful and strong woman walk out of his life. Jay said he finally knew the meaning of, "You never know what you have until it's gone."


Jay wondered if that was the last time he was ever going to see Ashley again.

CHANTEL and PEDRO

After getting into an argument over the video in which Pedro was allowing a woman to give him a lap dance, he and Chantel went to Las Terranas, where they had fallen in love. Chantel said it felt good to be away from all the drama and just be alone.

Chantel was still trying to figure out the best time to question Pedro about Obed’s claims that his family had set up their meeting so Pedro could move to the U.S., but she wanted to make sure they were in a good place before bringing up her concerns and potentially creating more problems.

Pedro told Chantel the woman he had danced with in the video was a friend from college, but Chantel didn't believe him. He therefore admitted the girl was Nicole's friend.

Chantel was upset Pedro had lied, but he begged her to forgive him because she was his future.

Chantel just wanted Pedro to be open and honest with her, and then they kissed, made up and splashed in the ocean. Things between them had really improved, and Chantel loved to see Pedro being fun and playful again.


Over dinner that night, Chantel finally confronted Pedro about Obed's claim that Pedro's sister Nicole and mother Lidia were looking for an American woman for Pedro to marry so he could make money in America and send it to back to them in the Dominican Republic so they'd have enough to start a business.

Pedro couldn't believe his wife was listening to Obed, who allegedly hated Nicole and Lidia. Pedro asked Chantel to believe him that he wasn't involved or new nothing about this so-called scheme.

Chantel said if their marriage was a setup but they both genuinely fell in love with each other, that would be fine and they'd be able to move forward from that together.

Although Pedro denied everything, Chantel didn't trust Nicole and Lidia.

"Now that Pedro has his Green Card and the fact Pedro can stay in the United States, that means Pedro's mom and sister don't need me anymore and so they're trying to get rid of me," Chantel said.

Pedro explained his mother and sister never saw Chantel during her first trip to the Dominican Republic and if they wanted her to marry Pedro, they'd be the first people at the airport waiting for her to arrive so they could suck up to her.

Chantel agreed Pedro had a point, and then he insisted he was with Chantel because he loved her and that's the only reason why he was married to her.

"You need to believe me... I am going to do everything to make you happy... Nobody loves you the way that I love you," Pedro said.

After speaking with Pedro and hearing his side of things, Chantel figured Nicole and Lidia had plotted for him to marry an American but Pedro just knew nothing about it. She acknowledged she couldn't trust Pedro's family.

Chantel then asked Pedro to come home with her to the United States, and he said he would to make her happy. Pedro admitted in that moment his wife comes before family and he was out to prove she was more important to him than anyone else.

Chantel and Pedro's relationship had improved during this trip, and she hoped to see more of the fun, flirty and playful side of Pedro she had grown to love.


Pedro felt closer to Chantel as well because they had successful communication, but he set up one more dinner for Chantel, Nicole and Lidia so his wife could hear for herself that their marriage was not a set up.

Chantel was worried about meeting up with Pedro's family again because they simply didn't like her. Chantel thought Nicole was trying to "ruin" her relationship and Lidia had "malicious intentions as well."

Chantel, however, decided to give Pedro's family members a chance to tell the truth.

Chantel then met with Nicole and Lidia, and Pedro explained his marriage was going to work and he wanted to solve Chantel's problems with the family.

But Lidia was tired of giving Chantel second chances and decided to open up about things that unsettled her. Lidia explained Lidia didn't support Pedro in front of her family for starters, and she worried about Pedro being alone in the United States with her "hostile" family members.

Chantel admitted she should always go to Pedro for support whether the situation is uncomfortable or not. Lidia then noted Pedro needed to be in control of his relationship, but Chantel disagreed, arguing she is "a liberated woman."

Chantel pointed out that just because Lidia has an opinion, it doesn't mean she should express it. Lidia thought Chantel's attitude hadn't changed and so things weren't going to be improved.

Chantel accused Nicole of trying to break up her relationship and Lidia of trying to control her relationship. Lidia demanded respect, but Chantel wanted Lidia to butt out of her marriage.

"I don't know why I expected this dinner to be any different," Chantel told the cameras.

Nicole then told Pedro to think about how he was going to bring children into the world when such tension existed between families.

It quickly became apparent Chantel's problems with Pedro's family weren't going to be solved overnight, and Pedro had every intention of returning to the United States. Lidia feared things were only going to get worse for her son and she felt "paralyzed."


Chantel, however, didn't care if Pedro's family liked her, and she was just ready for this trip to be over.

PAOLA and RUSS

Paola's mother Gladys called Paola and Russ' son "handsome," just like his father.

Meanwhile, Russ was waiting for his mother to arrive in Miami, FL, so she could meet the baby for the first time. Paola, however, didn't want Russ' mother to hold Axel for long and admitted she was acting "crazy" and overprotective.

Russ called Paola's actions "overbearing" and said she needed to let their family in and also allow people to help them.

Gladys didn't understand why Paola didn't want Russ' mother to hold the baby, but she chose to support her daughter and her feelings.

Russ worried his mom was going to be very upset and disappointed, and he told the cameras his mother was absolutely going to hold the baby -- even if he had to make it happen behind closed doors.


Paola was worried about the arrival of Russ' mother. Paola didn't want Russ' mother to tell her what to do or how to parent her son, but Gladys told her daughter that she was being too protective and Axel's grandmother had a right to see him.

Paola wanted the gathering to go well, but she explained to Gladys how she had a difficult past with Russ' parents and felt judged by them.

Paola, for example, explained how Russ' mother had criticized her for dressing too sexy and showing too much skin. Gladys therefore considered confronting Russ' mother for not accepting Paola for the way she is.

Paola didn't feel accepted by Russ' family until she was pregnant, and Gladys found that to be a little hypocritical. Paola just hoped the situation would go well.

COLT and LARISSA

Larissa's domestic violence charge from her second arrest had been dismissed, but she was still really upset and angry with Colt for putting her in this situation to begin with.

Larissa therefore refused to share the results of her court hearing with Colt and Debbie. Debbie felt totally disrespected and was running out of patience, but Larissa depended on Debbie to take her places.

Larissa accused Debbie of slamming a door, but Debbie denied it and attempted to ignore her as to not cause more problems in her marriage to Colt.

Larissa said Debbie looked like a nice, old lady but she was actually "mean" and "a wolf in sheep's skin."

Debbie told Larissa that she wanted nothing to do with her, and Larissa hoped to move out of her house so her relationship with Colt could strengthen and he'd eventually view her more as a wife.

The pair bickered in the car while driving, and Debbie was losing her cool.

Debbie was tired of living under Larissa's rules in her own house, so she insisted she'd be moving out and wanted Larissa to leave her alone forever.

Debbie then stopped the car and got out, calling Larissa "a self-centered little b-tch."


Debbie vented to producers how she "hated" Larissa's "guts" and couldn't understand why Colt loved her since she had "no personality" and was completely "shallow." Debbie said all Larissa did was look in the mirror and use her phone.

Debbie then left Larissa in a parking lot somewhere, and Larissa told the cameras Debbie was not the "saint" everyone seemed to think she was. Larissa called her "passive aggressive" and ended up getting a ride home with the show's producers.

Larissa later confided in Colt once he returned home from work and told him about the situation that had transpired with Debbie, but Colt seemed to take Debbie's side.

Colt admitted Larissa could be a drama queen while his mother was extremely patient. Colt thought Larissa was "antagonizing" his mother, and he felt totally disrespected by Larissa.

Larissa had a bit of a temper tantrum, throwing things around and calling Colt "a pig." He ended up chugging whiskey and didn't know what to do.

ELIZABETH and ANDREI

Elizabeth's water broke and she had informed her family that none of them were welcome or allowed in the delivery room, not even her mother Pamela.


Pamela said she was "really upset," and her sisters couldn't believe they never even received a phone call from Elizabeth.

Elizabeth's loved ones felt "alienated" from her life and noted they'd never expect this from Elizabeth. The family therefore came to the conclusion Andrei had made the choice and he was trying to control Elizabeth.

Elizabeth's water broke at 6AM and called her mother Pamela to inform her the baby was coming. Pamela and Elizabeth's sisters Becky and Jenn couldn't believe Elizabeth and Andrei didn't want any of them in the birthing room.

Pamela was really hurt and disappointed, and Elizabeth's sisters assumed Andrei was trying to control the situation and control Elizabeth.

Andrei was doing the best he could for his wife, trying to support her and make her feel comfortable.

Although Elizabeth was calm, she was nervous because she wanted to give birth the natural way, without an epidural or anything. She said she didn't want family in the room because of all the tension and how her loved ones had treated Andrei in the past.


Elizabeth knew Pamela was upset about not being welcomed or allowed in the delivery room, but Elizabeth didn't seem to care.

However, Elizabeth was in labor for 24 hours and finally got to the point where she wanted her mother in the room. After all, Pamela had given birth to seven children all naturally.

Elizabeth knew Andrei wasn't going to be happy, but she was in so much pain that Andrei apparently obliged.

Baby Eleanor was apparently born at 6:13 in the morning after Elizabeth was in labor for a full day. Elizabeth said she had to keep pinching herself because her life didn't seem real and her baby was "perfect."

Elizabeth admitted she had been in "excruciating pain" but it was nice to have her mother and Andrei both in the room for the baby's birth. And Pamela expressed how it was incredible to witness Elizabeth's little "miracle" and was overcome with emotion.

Elizabeth's two sisters then arrived at the hospital to meet their niece, and Becky noted Eleanor looked just like her father.


Jenn figured Andrei had gotten into her sister's head over whom to have in the delivery room, but she was just glad to see Elizabeth happy and healthy.

Becky wondered if this baby would "soften" Andrei's heart and make him view family differently in the future.

As for Andrei, he was proud to be a father and said his priority was going to be raising his daughter, not fighting with Elizabeth's family. He gushed about how it was "an amazing feeling" to hold a baby he had made with his wife.
