The new season has already featured cultural differences, family arguments, scandals, confrontations and tears.

Below is the latest on several 90 Day Fiance couples, according to the third episode of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?'s sixth season.

ELIZABETH AND ANDREI

Andrei was shown building his daughter Eleanor a playhouse outside.

Elizabeth said Andrei wanted "nothing to do with Charlie" because he was still married about Charlie's inappropriate wedding speech in Moldova, and so she figured it would take some time for Andrei to forgive her brother and move forward.


However, Elizabeth hoped Andrei and Charlie could sit down for a talk because they were going to be working together in Chuck's family business, and Elizabeth noted Chuck wouldn't take Andrei seriously unless he got along with Elizabeth's siblings.

"I haven't talked to Charlie since he got drunk at my wedding in Moldova and tried to ruin it," Andrei said in a confessional.

"He's a very lucky person that he didn't get knocked out and, in fact, he never apologized for what he did. There is no way I am working with that bum in general."

Elizabeth said Charlie's behavior was "inexcusable" but the men needed to bury the hatchet in order to run a successful business. Elizabeth told Andrei that Charlie is a stubborn man who doesn't apologize, but Andrei said he needed to hear Charlie admit he's "a pig."

"I'm not living in strife. We have to meet with him," Elizabeth urged.

Andrei explained that he'd be willing to sit down with Charlie but expected an apology or else he'd refuse to work with him going forward.

Elizabeth told the cameras Andrei and Charlie butted heads because they both want to be "the alpha male" in the family.

The pair met up with Charlie at a brewery, which Andrei immediately noted was a bad idea because of the flowing alcohol and how that might affect Charlie's attitude and actions.

The moment then arrived for Andrei and Charlie to have a meeting or possibly a confrontation. The men hadn't talked for quite some time, and Charlie expressed how he was fed up with Andrei "sweet-talking" his father and asking for a huge 100k loan.


Elizabeth told the guys that they were going to work together no matter what and so they needed to address their issues. Charlie admitted he "got a little rowdy" at Andrei's wedding and expressed his opinions at "the wrong place and the wrong time."

Charlie explained that he felt like Andrei and Elizabeth were taking advantage of Chuck and Chuck seemed to favor Elizabeth over his other children. Elizabeth argued, however, she would never take advantage of their father.

Charlie essentially apologized for being disrespectful but said he did not ruin Andrei and Elizabeth's reception. Andrei recalled how Elizabeth had cried on her wedding day and it was "no acceptable."

Andrei told Charlie that he just wanted Chuck's help, but Charlie didn't appreciate how Andrei seemingly only wanted to work with Chuck and no one else in the family.

Charlie said Andrei needed to "humble himself" and not make demands. Andrei told Charlie that he didn't want to be Charlie's friend for life and just wanted to make money for the business and provide for his wife and daughter.


Charlie, however, was okay with that and said he wanted the best for his sister and niece. The conversation therefore went well and the guys apparently buried the hatchet in the moment, but Andrei predicted Charlie would want to see him fail.

"But I am much smarter than him and I have a lot more skills. He is just not on my level," Andrei noted in a confessional.

JOVI AND YARA

Jovi was shown going to the grocery store and coming home with items Yara -- a new mom to a daughter named Mylah -- didn't need or want. Yara demanded fruits and vegetables and said her husband had a habit of buying only junk.

Jovi told the cameras Yara is "a control freak" when it comes to parenting and his opinion should be taken into consideration. Jovi said Yara's way was not always right, but Yara disagreed.

Jovi's mother Gwen then visited the baby at Jovi and Yara's apartment. Gwen admitted she was vocal about how her son and daughter-in-law should raise the baby since they're new parents.


Gwen, for example, didn't like how Mylah wasn't wrapped in a blanket, and Mylah's grandma complained about Yara taking the baby outside when she was only four days old.

Yara said she loved Gwen and appreciated her opinion. While they got along great, Yara acknowledged it was a tad overwhelming to constantly deal with Gwen's opinions and demands. Yara intended to do whatever she wanted with her child and do things in her own way.

Jovi, however, hoped Yara would listen to his mother more and accept her help since he'd be leaving the country soon for work for two months.

Jovi insisted he was happy not be partying so much anymore because he was taking his role as a father very seriously.

Yara wasn't looking forward to her husband, who works in underwater robotics, leaving again and being gone for two months. Jovi's flight out of the United States was scheduled in a month and Yara cried about the idea of being a mom alone in a foreign country.

ANGELA AND MICHAEL

Angela's weight-loss surgery was only one day away. She was on an all-liquid diet and sipped on chicken broth that she wished would turn into a burger and fries.


Without talking to her husband Michael or her family, Angela apparently decided to go ahead with the breast-reduction procedure because she wanted to do what's best for her.

Angela's friend JoJo then arrived and was prepared to take care of Angela after her major surgery. Michael obviously couldn't be there because he was in Nigeria, and Angela's daughter Skyla had to take care of all the kids.

Angela shared how her surgeon is "gorgeous" and she'd need to have skin surgery after losing a lot of weight. Angela said her breast reduction was going to take three hours and so she'd be under anesthesia for about four hours total.

Angela hadn't made her family aware she planned to undergo multiple procedures at once, and she knew her loved ones were going to worry about all the risks as well as her recovery.

Angela said she didn't want to lose her big chest but was putting her health first and struggled to breathe given her breasts were so big and heavy. Angela worried about telling Michael, especially, because he loved her body the way it was -- including her voluptuous curves.

When Angela's surgery day arrived, she admitted she was scared and nervous. Angela smoked a cigarette on the morning of her appointment and JoJo couldn't stop her. JoJo explained that Angela is her own boss and that's all there is to it.

Angela then FaceTimed with Michael, who said he'd be praying for his wife.

Angela also revealed a surgeon from Ghana had "medically handled" and "examined" her breasts during a consultation, which resulted in her decision to undergo a breast reduction in addition to the weight-loss surgery.

Angela said her breasts would be perky but he could no longer pull on them like he enjoyed.

"I'm not happy with all this surgery... There's nothing I can say now. But just do it. I wish I could talk to the doctor about you adjusting your boob size and all that," Michael said.

Angela complained that Michael seemed more worried about her losing her big boobs "to play with" than he was worried about her breathing and overall health. Michael insisted he just wanted his wife to be okay and would be praying for her.


Angela began questioning whether Michael had married her for her big boobs or really loved her.

Michael was then shown meeting up with his brother Yekini, one of Michael's 16 siblings, and Michael shared how Nigerian men value big boobs and Angela's chest is one of the things that initially attracted him to Angela.

Michael wished Angela was concerned about his opinion, but American women are different from Nigerian women, who allow their husbands to 100 percent control their lives, according to Yekini.

Michael feared Angela would become skinny and beautiful and then attract other men and potentially cheat on him.

Michael didn't think Angela would leave him for someone else, but Yekini put ideas in Michael's head and advised his brother to be very careful because Angela seemed independent and strong-willed.

"I want to trust my wife that she's faithful and is going to wait for me to get my visa and travel down to the United States... but I really feel concerned," Michael said.


Angela wished she had Michael's support and would have his support after her transformation. She also couldn't get ahold of her daughter on the phone on her way to the hospital, which was very upsetting for both Angela and JoJo.

KALANI AND ASUELU

Kalani and Asuelu were shown decorating Kalani's parents' home with balloons and streamers to welcome Kolini. Kalani wasn't sure how Asuelu was going to react with Kolini around but he had promised to be on his best behavior and act with kindness.

When Kolini arrived, she and Asuelu hugged and everything seemed okay. Kolini intended to stay at the house for a month or two.

"Lately, I try to get along with Kalani's family. I want to show Kalani I really make a big effort for our relationship and I hope she [feels] the same way and [won't] treat me how she [treated] me in the past," Asuelu explained.

Asuelu told Kolini that even though they had issues in the past, it was a new day.


Kolini told the cameras Asuelu's behavior seemed "a little fake" and "rehearsed," but she appeared willing to give Kalani's husband the benefit of the doubt.

Kolini noted that she picks her battles wisely, however, she'd definitely speak up if Asuelu failed to live up to his promises and her expectations of him during her stay.

Kalani hoped Kolini and Asuelu could get along and they could be a nice family.

"But this all just feels like it's a little too good to be true," Kalani shared.

"I just feel like I've been duped so many times. But, I mean, I'm not going to quit until I 100 percent know, and right now, I'm just at like 80 percent done. So I don't know. At this point, it's all up in the air and hopefully it's not just another round of bullsh-t."

The morning after Kolini's arrival, she apparently felt "on edge" that Asuelu was going to flip a switch and freak out. Her gut was telling her that Asuelu's good behavior was "an act."


Kalani and Asuelu shared with Kolini how they were shopping for a house to buy. Asuelu predicted he'd be happier in his marriage if Kalani's parents weren't around "trying to control" him all the time.

Kolini suggested the pair should just get a six-month lease because buying a home is really expensive and a huge commitment. She was concerned Asuelu just wanted to live alone so her family would no longer hold him accountable for his actions.

Kolini asked why the couple would buy a house together when they weren't even sure they wanted to stay together. Asuelu said hearing the word "divorce" really changed his mood and he didn't appreciate Kolini "butting into" his relationship just one day into her stay.

Asuelu looked forward to providing and being the man of the house, but Kolini said a man needs to do more than just make money and Asuelu needed to help out more with his children.

Kolini wanted her sister to remain "realistic" about her situation and keep her eyes open.


"I'm here to help. I just hope it gets better for everybody," Kolini told her sister.

BRANDON AND JULIA

Brandon and Julia returned to Brandon's Virginia farm after a trip to Las Vegas. Brandon was happy to be back home, but Julia wasn't. Julia was simply not excited about her normal life.

Julia wanted to have a dog or two in their own happy home instead of 35 animals. She hoped Brandon was going to keep his promise of moving to Richmond, VA, soon.

But first, the couple had to prepare for Julia's first Green Card interview, which was everything the pair had been working towards.

Brandon said he was nervous, especially since he and Julia didn't have certain documents they needed -- including household bills with both of their names on them -- but ready to get the process over with.

It turned out Julia didn't know Brandon's favorite color and both spouses could barely remember their wedding date of April 26.


Julia didn't want to get separated from Brandon and have to return to Russia alone. Brandon said if Julia wasn't approved, he'd move to Russia if he had to, but he acknowledged it would be harder for him to acclimate.

Brandon didn't sound like he wanted to move to Russia at all, which disappointed Julia since she had move to America for him.

"I think I give more [energy] to the relationship... [Brandon] gives more money, but I changed my life for him. If I'm not approved, then I go to Russia and Brandon not go with me, I guess. This is broken. We divorce," Julia said.

The day then arrived for Julia's Green Card interview. Julia lamented that she might throw up due to her nerves, and Brandon hoped they wouldn't have to refile all of Julia's paperwork down the road.

Julia therefore felt a lot of pressure to make the interview go well, and as Brandon understood it, Julia was going to get approved or denied that very day.

Cameras weren't allowed in the immigration office. Two hours later, Brandon and Julia got back into their car and Brandon revealed, "She did not approve for the Green Card."

Julia insisted everything was okay.

"There is apparently a brand new requisite for the affidavit of support," Brandon explained. "[There is] a brand new document that might be needed, and even the officer doesn't know what it is yet and what the details are."

Brandon said the pair would either receive an approval letter or a request for more information in the mail in about two weeks.

Brandon acknowledged it was a good thing Julia had not been "denied" her Green Card, but Julia worried she was "this close" to going back to Russia.

TIFFANY AND RONALD

Tiffany and Ronald apparently got into "a huge heated" fight because Tiffany had canceled her family's plane tickets to South Africa to see Ronald. Tiffany used the money as a down payment for her new apartment, so she was thrilled to finally move out of her mother's place.


Tiffany said she was finally realizing that her own happiness matters and she had "wasted too much time putting Ronald first."

"I am tired of being the one who holds it up financially while Ronald gets to just sit around and play video games," Tiffany explained.

Tiffany thought it was important for her children to have space and feel free to run around and make a mess, and she also playfully noted that her mother Maggie and grandmother were starting to drive her crazy.

Tiffany told the cameras she needed to find an apartment, start a business and focus on herself and her family rather than just waiting for a future reunion with Ronald. Tiffany said she needed to live in the moment for her kids and was tired of asking, "What's next?"

Maggie admitted she was upset Ronald wasn't working and making money, and Tiffany worried about all of their financial problems falling on her once her husband moved to America.


Maggie told the cameras that Ronald didn't matter to her, before mentioning to Tiffany how there's "nothing special" about Ronald. Maggie thought Tiffany could be her "best happy" as a single mother, without Ronald in her life.

"This feels like deja vu. I've already had a kid with someone who didn't show up, who never did their part. I'm tired of being walked on, I'm tired of being taken advantage of," Tiffany explained.

"So I'm doing my best to try to push Ronald to be the dad that I know he can be, because I love him enough to know that he's capable."

But if things didn't work out between the couple, Tiffany now had an apartment as well as a backup plan for her life and her kids.
