MIKE AND NATALIE
Mike and Natalie had arrived at Mike's mother Trish's home in Oklahoma the previous night, and Mike noted Natalie seemed "a little on edge" due to nerves and so there was a little tension in the room.Mike, however, was looking forward to a nice visit with the two women in his life hopefully getting along.
Trish told Mike it was a little alarming to hear that Natalie wasn't happy in the United States and couldn't find the type of work she wanted to do. Natalie obviously didn't enjoy being a housewife, and she didn't appreciate Trish suggesting that she become a language interpreter instead of a model and writer.
"She said the only has one life to live and so she wants to do the thing that she wants to do," Trish recalled of Natalie. "Why would you not try to take care of your husband and your home? She doesn't seem to do much for anybody but herself."
Mike admitted he needed "more" from his wife because he chipped in with household chores and obligations after getting home from work. Trish agreed Natalie could be "more responsible" at home and was being "spoiled" by Mike.

Trish and Mike then brought Natalie to a spot where they picked up firewood, and everyone could tell it was Natalie's first time doing a hard physical job like that.
Trish brought up the subject of Natalie's career again and recommended she work as a language interpreter until coronavirus ends and she's able to pursue her real dreams, such as modeling and acting.
Trish asked Natalie to work and make her own money so Mike didn't have to continue supporting her fully.
Natalie insisted she never married Mike for money and would have opportunities in the entertainment industry in Seattle, and Trish admitted she was concerned about Natalie's priorities.
"It's my life, my choice and my brain. So I think I will decide myself, honestly," Natalie lamented in a confessional, adding how she planned to stand up for herself.
"And Mike needs to stand up for me too," she added.

Mike, on the other hand, didn't feel he had done anything wrong. Mike was still holding out hope Natalie and Trish could bond as a family over the holiday, especially because he believed Trish was "just being concerned" as his mother.
TIFFANY AND RONALD
Tiffany said she and Ronald were "finally in a good place" after a lot of arguing.Tiffany received an email -- which she had been waiting on "for years" -- informing her that Ronald's visa application had been approved and they'd be able to move on to the interview phase of the process.
Tiffany apparently broke down into tears once she read the email because she and her husband had been waiting and fighting for this visa for so long.
Tiffany was then shown sharing the big news with Ronald, who screamed and celebrated via videochat. The couple wasn't all the way there yet, but this was a huge step closer to Ronald coming to the United States.
Ronald gushed about being "overwhelmed" -- happy and scared at the same time -- but Tiffany hadn't spoken to her father Carlos yet about becoming Ronald's co-sponsor. Tiffany fell just under the income requirement to be able to completely take care of Ronald financially upon his entrance into America.

Tiffany said her mother already had too much to take care of and so Carlos was the only person she'd be willing to ask for such a huge favor. Tiffany just wanted to ask him in person and give the conversation the respect it deserved.
Tiffany explained Carlos was the couple's "only option" but had yet to learn about Ronald's criminal past.
"If my dad says 'no' and Ronald is not coming to America, then I'm not willing to do this long-distance thing anymore," Tiffany confessed.
Tiffany then sat down for a chat with her mother about how Carlos had no idea about Ronald's previous gambling addiction and how Ronald had stolen things and lied to get what he wanted.
Tiffany was scared to let her father see this dark side of Ronald because she didn't want Carlos to view Ronald differently or in a negative light.

Not only was there a chance of Ronald relapsing in the future, but Tiffany's mother acknowledged Ronald coming to the U.S. was a huge risk. Tiffany's mother therefore advised her daughter not to say a word to Carlos, but Tiffany admitted she'd feel like "a huge piece of sh-t" for lying to her dad about something so serious.
Tiffany didn't want to lose the opportunity to bring Ronald to the U.S., nor did she want Ronald to lose her father's respect.
Tiffany eventually met up with Carlos and asked him to co-sponsor and co-sign for Ronald, and Carlos replied, "That's no problem. That's no problem. I like Ronald."
But Tiffany explained she had been hiding something from her father and Ronald wasn't always the nice guy he had portrayed himself to be at the wedding in South Africa. Carlos appeared confused and bewildered.
ANGELA AND MICHAEL
Angela admitted she was in a ton of pain and she never expected her recovery from surgery to be this horrible. She was so thankful to have JoJo in her life, helping her through the recovery stages.And Angela said she was still mad at Michael for his reaction to her breast reduction at the doctor's office. She couldn't believe Michael was just concerned with her looks rather than about her pain and how she was feeling.

Angela was already feeling insecure about the new size of her breasts and wished Michael would reassure her that everything was going to be fine. She wanted her husband to build her confidence up and support her.
"He made me feel worse. I shouldn't have to worry about my husband thinking I'm deformed... He should love me no matter what," Angela complained.
Angela said she may need a facelift in order to remove the extra skin hanging from her chin, but JoJo hoped Angela would wait on that. Michael also never liked the idea of Angela going under the knife to begin with, and so Angela worried one more surgery might break her marriage apart.
Angela appeared to be mentally and physically exhausted, and she told the cameras that even strong women can reach "a breaking point."

Angela then FaceTimed with Michael and explained how he had made her feel terrible about her new breasts when she desperately needed his love and support. Angela told Michael that her breasts still needed to drop and he'd probably really like them.
After getting down a smoothie, Angela smoked a cigarette and noted she'd be taking baby steps.
Upon learning about Angela's desire to have a facelift, Michael appeared shocked and yelled, "I don't like this! I don't like it!" Michael even hung up the call on his wife, which really angered Angela.
"If you do the facelift now, I don't support you," Michael said, adding that he wanted to make decisions together with his wife. "I am putting my foot down. She is not doing any more surgeries."
But Angela told the cameras that she was going to do whatever she wanted to her body, whether Michael liked it or not.
Angela then met with Dr. Saadat to discuss her facelift surgery, and she joked about him being gorgeous as well. Dr. Saadat explained a rare side effect of nerve damage and blood accumulation in the neck, but that didn't scare Angela away at all.
Angela said she couldn't wait to look younger and thinner, and Dr. Saadat FaceTimed with Michael to address his worries and concerns. Michael didn't want his wife to rush into another surgery, but Angela said she wanted to look sexy.

The procedure was going to cost $25,000, which made Michael's jaw drop to the floor. Angela didn't think Michael had the right to complain about the money given she had financially supported their relationship all around.
Angela wanted to do something for herself, but Michael told the cameras they could use that money towards trying to have a baby.
In the end, Angela made the decision to have a facelift and Michael replied, "No problem. Go ahead. I wish you all the best."

ELIZABETH AND ANDREI
Elizabeth and her sister Jenn were shown doing yoga together, and Elizabeth shared how Andrei's two-year Green Card was about to expire and so they had to hire a lawyer and go through the process of renewing it for a 10-year Green Card.Elizabeth expressed her fear of Andrei's permanent Green Card getting denied and her husband potentially being deported back to Moldova. Jenn was shocked to hear that news, and Elizabeth also complained about working and taking care of her daughter Eleanor at home simultaneously.
Elizabeth desired some help from a babysitter or nanny, but Andrei had said he didn't trust anyone except family taking care of his child at their home.
Andrei also apparently had high expectations for his wife in the home while Elizabeth noted there is nothing wrong with asking for some help.
Jenn thought Andrei was just trying to control the situation and his wife, and Jenn agreed working while raising a baby is extremely difficult. Jenn suggested Elizabeth should just hire a nanny while she's working and not tell Andrei at all.
"I'm not telling you to lie; I'm just telling you to omit something from him," Jenn suggested to her sister.
Elizabeth wanted to discuss the situation with Andrei first, but she seemed desperate for help. With that being said, Jenn gave Elizabeth a reliable nanny's phone number to call and set up a meeting.
Later on, Elizabeth talked to Andrei about how it seemed Charlie was jealous of the attention Andrei was receiving from Chuck. Elizabeth suggested Charlie was making it a competition with his brother-in-law for Chuck's time and respect.

Andrei called Charlie "a do-cheb-g" and clearly still had no respect for him. Andrei told the cameras he wasn't afraid to get his hands dirty and would help Chuck flip the house with physical labor -- something Elizabeth said Charlie would never do.
Charlie apparently received a phone call from a neighbor saying someone was demolishing the house. Charlie said he never instructed Andrei to do that, but Andrei explained Chuck had told him what to do.

Andrei swore at Charlie and stormed off, and Charlie accused him of being "a b-tch" and not cleaning up his own mess. Andrei said Charlie was jealous of the fact he was trying to get things done.
Andrei told the cameras he'd never be able to work for Charlie but he needed to work for the sake of getting his two-year Green Card renewed for 10 years.
KALANI AND ASUELU
Kalani was shown meeting with an immigration lawyer, Tyler Todd, to find out her rights given she and her father Low had decided to co-sponsor Asuelu as his financial support system in the United States.Kalani said if she decided to divorce Asuelu, which she was sincerely considering, she didn't want to leave her father in a tough position. Low therefore videochatted with Tyler and Kalani during the meeting from California, where he apparently held down a job.
Tyler explained that Low had been financially responsible for Asuelu for 10 years but under former President Trump's new law, Low and Kalani will actually be financially responsible for Asuelu in America for his lifetime unless he gets deported or becomes an official U.S. citizen.
Kalani admitted she had been so "wrapped up in romance" in the beginning that she was "so stupid" about a lot of things. If Asuelu sought any financial assistance, the government could go to Kalani and Low for reimbursement.

Low recommended that Kalani and Asuelu just work things out for the sake of their two sons.
Kalani had to decide whether she was going to stay married or become a single mom to two kids.
BRANDON AND JULIA
One day after going out with Brandon's friend Melanie and her boyfriend, Brandon and Julia weren't talking at all and Julia was still very mad at her husband for allowing Melanie to accuse her of being after a Green Card.ADVERTISEMENT
Julia felt Melanie had butted into her own business and asked questions that weren't appropriate for a first meeting.
Brandon accused Julia of having "a strange jealous streak" and said it was "a real problem," and Julia didn't deny having that issue.
Brandon said it didn't make sense that Julia was mad at him when she had made a "huge scene" by storming out of the brewery when she was supposed to be meeting and trying to get along with his close friend.
Brandon didn't seem to think it was reasonable to give Julia all of his focus and attention all the time, essentially deserting his friends in Virginia. Brandon thought the situation was just "going too far."
Brandon begged Julia to just talk to him during difficult times in private, and Julia asked her husband to listen to and understand her better. Julia said she'd try to work on her jealousy and Brandon probably wouldn't even like her if he knew about this side of her before marriage.
Julia acknowledged her relationship wasn't perfect and Brandon needed to stay by her side and support her at all times given she had moved to a foreign country to be with him.
