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

ANGELA AND MICHAEL

Angela had arrived in Los Angeles to undergo her weight-loss surgery, and she said she couldn't wait to look 20 years younger.

Angela checked in with Michael via FaceTime and he continued to try to talk her out of having the surgery, but Angela wanted to work on herself and her health before reuniting with Michael again, either in Nigeria or hopefully America.


Angela said if Michael really wanted to do something for himself, she'd be "right there beside him," and so she was a little disappointed her husband wasn't being more supportive and compassionate.

Angela was then shown meeting with a bariatric surgeon, Dr. Samuel Kashani, for a consultation in Beverly Hills. Angela said she would only work with the best and this was ultimately a test for the doctor.

Angela admitted she had eaten some solid foods and smoked a few cigarettes while in L.A. when she wasn't supposed to do either and so she hoped she wouldn't get into too much trouble.

Dr. Kashani reminded Angela that smoking is "a huge risk" that can cause decreased blood flow and an increase of infection that could eventually lead to death. Angela's cigarettes -- which she kept in her bra -- were therefore taken away.


Angela learned she wouldn't be able to have the surgery if she kept smoking, and she admitted she was "in hell." Angela also discovered going under general anesthesia at her weight is risky and she could face heart attack, stroke, blood clots and more.

Dr. Kashani asked Angela to exercise and "tone up" before the procedure. Angela also never thought about needing skin-removal surgery after losing the weight.

Angela worried Michael would arrive in the U.S. and she'd have loose skin and look "like an 80 year old woman." Angela started questioning whether she should go through with the weight-loss surgery at all.

Angela then met with a handsome plastic surgeon, Dr. Michael Obeng, whom she flirted with at her consultation. Angela -- who wondered if Dr. Obeng was single and thought he smelled good -- joked, "I don't know if the universe is trying to give me a gift or get my ass into trouble."

Dr. Obeng told Angela that she'd probably lose 40 to 50 pounds and so she'd have loose skin under her chin, around her breasts and more. The doctor discussed Angela having a breast reduction and lift as well as liposuction to remove extra skin.


Dr. Obeng said he tried to keep it professional but he considered Angela to be a beautiful woman.

Angela said Michael liked her breasts the way they are and so she worried about changing them. Dr. Obeng said they could address the skin on Angela's stomach, thighs and more once she reached her weight-loss goal.

"My family is already worried to death about just the weight-loss surgery. Now I've got to tell them that I've got more news for them, and oh God, it seems like it never ends," Angela lamented in a confessional.

TIFFANY AND RONALD

Tiffany was shown doing a makeup tutorial via Zoom while taking care of her 10-year-old son Daniel from a previous relationship and one-year-old daughter Carley whom she welcomed with Ronald.

When Carley was three months old, Tiffany said she was able to book tickets to South Africa so Ronald could meet his daughter for the first time. Tiffany recalled it being a magical moment, but she said that soon after that, Ronald became "very hot and cold" about eventually moving to the United States.


Ronald had told Tiffany that he didn't want to waste money trying for another visa -- given he had been denied a K-1 visa before due to his criminal record -- but then Tiffany revealed she went ahead and applied for a spousal CR-1 visa for Ronald.

"We still haven't heard anything back, and so Ronald is still in South Africa. COVID has really put my marriage through the wringer," Tiffany explained.

"The last time Ronald and I were physically together, it was eight months ago, and I am all alone -- left to face everything and be responsible for everything. Ronald, right now, is not emotionally supportive and he's not financially supportive."

Tiffany said Ronald never offered to send money for clothes or diapers, and Tiffany vented, "I didn't make this baby alone!"

Tiffany was then shown meeting with an attorney and said she was expecting a response for the spousal visa in one to three months.


Tiffany admitted she was no longer sure if she wanted to make things work with Ronald because she was allegedly the only person trying in their relationship.

"I have moments when I wonder if this marriage is right for me," Tiffany confessed. "Ronald doesn't know this, but I think I want a divorce."

Tiffany explained to the cameras a lot had happened over the past couple months and she almost felt stuck in the relationship. Tiffany clearly wasn't happy, and she said it was really hard being on her home with her husband in a different country.

Tiffany cried to her attorney, Christopher Role, about the "struggle" she was facing. She said she had reached "a breaking point" and feared there was "no other choice but to get divorced."

Tiffany didn't want to continue feeling miserable every day, and she worried things would only get worse once Ronald arrived in the United States.

Christopher advised Tiffany not to take divorce lightly because the process would be challenging, and so he suggested the couple should go through therapy and counseling first.


Christopher asked Tiffany to think about whether she'd be better off with or without Ronald in her life.

"In order for me to think this could work out long-term, I need Ronald to get a job. I need Ronald to save money and I need Ronald to put in as much effort as I'm putting in," Tiffany explained, adding that she could no longer fund her family and baby her husband.

"This will no longer be all on me," she added.

Meanwhile, Ronald said he was sad and lonely to be away from his family and was hoping for the best. Ronald was shown buying some stuffed animals for his kids, and he looked forward to spending time with his kids again.

Ronald anticipated a family visit soon and then moving to America to be with his wife and children. Ronald then painted a room with his friend Rowan and revealed he and Tiffany had been fighting a lot and she tended to use his past against him.


Ronald insisted he was making "small strides" and "ends meet" by doing odd jobs since overcoming his gambling addiction. Ronald said Tiffany didn't trust that he was trying to do his best in South Africa.

"It's not easy having a wife who is always doubting that you are doing the right thing," Ronald explained. "I want Tiffany to see that I can be the husband I know I can be for her and this family."

Tiffany had bought tickets to visit Ronald in South Africa in one month, but she said her travel plans were pending due to coronavirus.

Suddenly, Tiffany revealed to Ronald on Zoom she had decided to cancel her family's plane tickets. Tiffany said it wasn't fair she was always paying for things and never receiving anything.

"If you want us to come, then buy the tickets," Tiffany told Ronald, adding, "You should say, 'Baby, I want to help you!'"

Tiffany reminded Ronald that he had spent $3,000 to fix his motorcycle instead of helping his children, but Ronald reminded his wife that his money wasn't worth much in the U.S.

Tiffany insisted that she was killing herself, but Ronald disagreed. Ronald also said it was emotionally draining for him that he couldn't watch his children grow up and witness milestones, such as Carley's first steps or first words.

"It's really heartbreaking to see Carley grow up through a screen. It's unbearable," Ronald told the cameras.

Tiffany told the cameras if Ronald didn't start helping and paying more for their children then their marriage wasn't going to work out.

BRANDON AND JULIA

Julia gushed about how Las Vegas is amazing and beautiful, and she said she could really see herself living there. However, Brandon had shut down the idea of moving to Vegas with his wife, and Julia said she was concerned Brandon may was "the farm life" forever.

Julia hoped to change Brandon's mind before returning to his parents' farm.


Julia admitted she's a jealous person, and she was shown getting angry at Brandon for allegedly checking out a busty waitress by the pool. Julia said she trusted Brandon but didn't trust other women around him.

While Brandon was taking some sexy pictures of Julia in the pool, his mother Betty called to inform the couple paperwork had arrived for Julia in the mail.

Brandon allowed Betty to open the letter, which invited Julia to her first interview for her permanent resident status in the United States. It was an interview so Julia could ultimately obtain her Green Card.

Brandon said he had done a lot of work to get Julia to live in America permanently, and the couple just hoped the process would go smoothly and quickly. Julia said she wanted to start working and making money, and Brandon never wanted his wife to have to leave him.

Brandon told Julia that they should just enjoy their vacation and worry about her status in the U.S. later.

While enjoying drinks out later on, Julia asked again to move to Las Vegas, but Brandon said, "No." He said they should start in Richmond, VA, and maybe move somewhere else afterwards.


Julia said living in Richmond would be fine but she hoped Brandon would continue to look forward and not break any of his promises. Julia was proud of herself for compromising with her husband.

Julia wanted to start working as soon as possible, like maybe a designer job, but Brandon worried her broken English might hold her back from many job positions. Julia wished Brandon would support her more and not put her down.

"I'm scared Brandon [will] never move to the big city and we stay where we stay right now and I never have [a] job. This hurts me because I don't want this life. This [is] not [the] life I pictured before," Julia told the cameras.

Julia yelled at Brandon for not supporting her and for trying to break her dreams, but Brandon said he was just trying to be realistic and reasonable.

"I'm trying to suggest things that would help her and I think she takes that as I'm not being supportive, and that hurts," Brandon said in a confessional.


"Julia views my realistic view on things as pessimistic, but sometimes I think she's also just too much of a dreamer and she may want to bump down her expectations."

ELIZABETH AND ANDREI

Elizabeth was shown getting ready for a family business meeting at her sister Becky's house to discuss bringing Andrei in the family's real estate and house flipping business. Chuck started off the conversation by mocking Andrei's accent, and Elizabeth immediately flipped out.

Elizabeth said it would be better to not have Andrei there in order to avoid confrontation.

Elizabeth hoped to win her family members over, but she anticipated her siblings Jenn and Charlie might be furious upon hearing Andrei had asked their father Chuck for a $100,000 loan.

Andrei admitted he didn't want to work with the whole family and just wished he could work with Chuck, but Elizabeth explained it was a close family business and he must cross paths with her siblings often.


Andrei noted it was going to be "very difficult to build a relationship" with Charlie after Charlie nearly tried to ruin the couple's wedding in Moldova by making a confrontational and disrespectful speech.

Andrei wished Chuck's "favorite daughter" luck, but Elizabeth was pretty sure she'd be able to get her way since she was apparently used to that.

Everyone flipped out once they heard about Andrei's loan request, and Chuck insisted he had no intention to give Andrei that kind of money.

Becky and Jenn realized Andrei wanted to start working and provide for his family, but at the same time, they had been working their way up in the family business to provide for their own children and spouses.

"He's trying to take the easy way out," Jenn complained.

Becky and Jenn told Chuck that they'd be willing to show him the ropes and give him a chance, but Charlie was still waiting for an apology and wasn't about to let Andrei into the family business with open arms.


"I've got one thing to say: f-ck him. If he wants to do this, earn it!" Charlie yelled.

Elizabeth, feeling upset and defeated, then stormed out of the house. Elizabeth said her husband was trying to do what's best for his family and there was nothing wrong with that.

Elizabeth cried and wished her family would just give Andrei a chance because she told Becky that Andrei really wanted to apply himself. Elizabeth hated how her family made fun of and belittled Andrei right in front of her.

Becky said she could understand where Elizabeth was coming from, but Becky told the cameras that Andrei didn't approach things the right way and handle situations correctly.

Charlie demanded that Andrei must start at the bottom and work his way up because Andrei seemingly didn't appreciate all the work they had done in the business beforehand.


Charlie told Elizabeth, who was already in tears, that Andrei needed to earn their trust.

Becky yelled at Charlie to "chill the f-ck out," but Jenn said the conversation brought back some bad feelings given Chuck had just paid for Elizabeth and Andrei's huge wedding in Moldova.

Charlie apologized to Elizabeth and hugged her, but Elizabeth said she was tired of Charlie taking "things to the next level" and not acting professionally.

"I've already made up my mind. I'm going to bring [Andrei] in and I want you guys to work with him," Chuck announced to the group, before asking Charlie to meet with Andrei and squash their beef.

Charlie said he'd be willing to do anything to help Chuck but he wouldn't allow Andrei to take advantage of anyone. Elizabeth acknowledged there were still hard feelings and she wasn't even sure Andrei would agree to meet with Charlie.

Elizabeth worried about Andrei and Charlie being put in the same room.


Once Elizabeth returned home to Andrei, she revealed that Chuck was going to allow Andrei to work for him although her siblings all had their own opinions. Elizabeth suggested Andrei should meet with Charlie and discuss the future, but Andrei refused.

"I have literally been in a battle for you for so many years, and I am so over it. I have done so much... and I am mentally drained and exhausted," Elizabeth complained. "Why can't you guys just find a common ground?"

Andrei said he was never going to kiss Charlie's ass, but Elizabeth reminded her husband that he must work with Charlie in the family business.

Andrei told the cameras he wanted to start his own business in order to avoid Charlie. Andrei just wished Chuck would give him $100,000.

"I'm talking to Chuck and I'm not talking to anybody else," Andrei shouted.


Elizabeth desperately wanted her husband and family to get along, and she said she was too tired to fight and continuing to defend her husband. Elizabeth said Andrei needed to make concessions so they could move forward and she wouldn't have to be his advocate anymore.

KALANI AND ASUELU

Kalani said Asuelu was acting better and helping out more with their kids. Asuelu said he was trying to be a better man and was excited about the future of their relationship.

Kalani and Asuelu enjoyed some alone time at a crepes restaurant, but she had yet to tell Asuelu that her sister Kolini was going to live with them for a little while.

Kalani anticipated the news would piss Asuelu off and change his mood since the couple wasn't ready to move out of her parents' house yet.

Asuelu said Kalani should have told him this news earlier because he would have liked to make Kolini feel welcome by making her food and putting out flowers.

Asuelu's reaction was weird in Kalani's mind because he had called her sister "a b-tch" at their last reunion, but Asuelu insisted he was a new man and he and Kolini would have a fresh start with forgiveness granted.

Asuelu cried to his wife, "I hope you realize that I'm changing for good and not for bad."

Kalani gushed about being happy because she wanted everyone to get along as well as Asuelu staying happy and calm during difficult conversations. Asuelu said he hoped for the best and just wanted to move forward and take care of his family.

"I hope both of our families will come closer," Asuelu noted.

Kalani was glad Asuelu was being supportive and accommodating, but she said she wasn't sure if Asuelu was being sincere and honest because he had tricked and manipulated her in the past with his tears. Kalani therefore intended to proceed with caution.

MIKE AND NATALIE

On Mike's 36th birthday, Natalie apparently set up a little sushi dinner for Mike in their hotel room, including a bottle of champagne. She said ever since Mike had agreed to wear a wedding ring, he had been very good.


Mike said he was excited to bring Natalie over to his mother Trish's house for Thanksgiving, and Natalie offered to cook a dish and share some of her recipes with Mike's mother.

Natalie admitted in a confessional it was hard to act like nothing had happened with Trish in the past and just forgive her, especially considering Trish had attempted to put a stop to their wedding.

However, Natalie put on a brave face for Mike and acted like she was looking forward to the reunion. Natalie also hoped to meet some of Mike's friends since she hadn't yet.

Mike admitted to Natalie she could come across as "harsh" sometimes and couldn't just attack people. Mike said his friends are polite and family oriented.

"Maybe they shouldn't send naked pictures to you, then I will be polite," Natalie snapped.

Mike angrily left the dinner, which was supposed to be a birthday celebration.


Natalie claimed a girl from Nevada had sent Mike a picture of her breasts.
