Similar to the original 90 Day Fiance series that features Americans bringing their foreign partners to the United States, 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way's Americans also have to get married to their overseas partner in order to remain in their new countries.
Paul Staehle and Karine Martins, however, were already married when filming began.
The latest broadcast featured Paul and Karine; Jenny, a 60-year-old from Palm Springs, CA, and Sumit, a 30-year-old from New Delhi, India; Laura, a 51-year-old from Eustis, FL, and Aladin, a 29-year-old from Doha, Qatar; and Tiffany, a 27-year-old from Frederick, MD, and Ronald, a 29-year-old from South Africa.
Two couples, however, did not make an appearance in this episode: Corey Rathgeber, a 31-year-old from Mill A, WA, and Evelin Villegas, a 26-year-old from Engabao, Ecuador, as well as Deavan Clegg, a 22-year-old from Salt Lake City, UT, and Jihoon Lee, a 29-year-old from South Korea.
After arriving in their new countries, the six American cast members must race a ticking clock and experience major culture shocks and challenges -- including winning over their soon-to-be foreign in-laws and trying to plan a wedding.
Below is the latest on each 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way couple based on Monday night's episode on TLC.
LAURA and ALADIN
When Aladin told Laura what "went down" at the bathhouse, she was very upset and disappointed in her son's behavior. She didn't understand why Liam had such an attitude when he had flown all the way from Florida to Tunisia to attend her wedding and try to be supportive.Laura therefore confronted Liam about what was bothering him, and Liam said Aladin had dropped a bomb on him about wanting to welcome children with Laura.
Laura told Liam that it wasn't his place to tell Aladin he couldn't have a baby with her, and she said just because she's "older," it doesn't mean she's not capable.

Laura insisted, however, she'd never disappear from Liam's life or abandon him. She told Liam that he was her whole world.
With that being said, Liam apologized to his mother for being "toxic" and "rude" to both his mother and Aladin. Liam admitted he didn't give the couple a chance and was zoning in on flaws, so he told Laura that he would grow up and just hope for the best for them.
Now that Liam and Laura were good, she finally felt ready to put on a wedding dress and marry the man of her dreams. Laura said this was the best wedding gift Liam ever could have given her.
It then became time for the final ceremony that would make Laura and Aladin's marriage official in Tunisia. Laura wore a white embellished gown and said it was "overboard bling bling," but she went with it because Aladin apparently said it looked best on her.
Liam escorted Laura to the ceremony, and Aladin was impressed and happy he chose to show up.
Liam told Aladin he would stop antagonizing him and go with the flow instead. Liam said sorry for being a jerk and complimented the big celebration, and Aladin said it was fine and he was so glad he chose to attend the wedding.

"I know our love story doesn't make sense probably to a lot of people, but we know that we love each other," Laura said.
"I moved all the way across the world to be with Aladin, and love is a gamble. I just hope I hit the jackpot on this one. I don't know, we'll find out."
"I just want to make her happy, you know?" Aladin noted.
PAUL and KARINE
Paul's mother Mary had been in Brazil for a few days, and Paul gushed about how the environment was happy and positive. Karine said Paul's mother was sweet and the women seemed to get along well.Karine therefore asked Mary for advice on how to handle Paul when he got very angry during arguments. Karine said Paul would shout and be mean to her in stressful situations.
"You can tell by his look that he has hate," Karine said, adding that she feared her son could pick up on Paul's negative energy.
Mary agreed to talk to Paul about Karine's concerns, and she was quite thankful. Paul told his mother he had "good days and bad days" with Karine and he wasn't sure whether she still wanted a divorce.

Mary advised her son to quit fighting all the time because babies pick up on their parents' feelings.
"We find out that the less we talk to each other and are frustrated, the less that we fight," Paul told the cameras.
Paul said he looked forward to getting a job, making his own money and paying the bills. His mom said he needed to step up, be a man and make his family work.
"It's your time -- it's past time," Paul's mother stated.

It then became time for Paul's mother Mary to leave, however, and so Karine worried things would go back to normal.
Karine told Paul that she no longer wanted a divorce because she held out hope he could change, and Paul was prepared to try to become a better husband for the sake of his family and keeping it together.
JENNY and SUMIT
Seven days after Sumit was taken away by his family, he told producers they granted him permission to talk to Jenny.Jenny had been in India for almost five months, and she was still grappling with the devastating secret Sumit had been keeping from her, that he has a wife.
When the pair reunited, they hugged and Jenny cried in his arms. It had been a week since she last saw Sumit, and while she was thrilled to see him, she demanded an explanation and answers.

"It doesn't make sense... Why tell me you love me and talk to me every single day and still marry someone else, and not tell me?!" Jenny yelled.
"You told me we were going to get married and everything was going to be great and fine and wonderful."
"Because I don't want to lose you," Sumit replied. "I share everything with you."
Jenny thought Sumit loved her and chose her, and Sumit assured Jenny he loved her and didn't want to marry -- or be with -- his wife. Sumit said he tried to make his marriage work but it didn't.
Sumit said he tried in the first year of marriage, but then Jenny didn't understand why he had been talking to her the whole time. Jenny said nothing ever changed between them.

"You didn't give me the right to choose for myself. Instead, I trusted you and I came to India," Jenny shouted.
Sumit said he had planned to tell Jenny that he was married once she arrived in India but he kept postponing the bad news in order to enjoy another peaceful day with her. Sumit acknowledged, "Now, I'm paying for that."
Jenny said this was not fair to her because she had left behind possessions, her apartment, her car, and family in America. Her visa was about to expire.

"If I had known Sumit was married, I wouldn't have come to India," Jenny told the cameras.
Jenny knew she'd have to return to the United States soon, so she asked Sumit whether they should just end their relationship immediately. The couple was clearly overwhelmed, but Sumit said he was ready to stand up and fight for his relationship with Jenny so he wouldn't have to lose her.
Sumit revealed, however, getting a divorce would be difficult because his wife would have to say "yes."
Jenny cried because she wanted to stay with Sumit, but she didn't know what they could do to achieve that.
TIFFANY and RONALD
Tiffany and her son had spent two months in South Africa. She said Ronald had become a father to Daniel but her common sense told her that they shouldn't live there because it wasn't safe and she'd be taking opportunities away from her son.Tiffany and Ronald took Daniel to a playground but she said it was very depressing. Not only was there a broken swing and rusted parts everywhere, but there was also broken glass on the ground and "rubbish," according to Ronald.
Daniel didn't like the parks and the fences everywhere. He could tell it was dangerous, and Daniel said he missed his friends and family.

"I don't want to live here forever," Daniel said. "I want to be with Dad, but at the same time, I want to live in America, and it's really tough to choose."
Tiffany hated seeing Daniel under this stress, and so she promised to make a decision that would be best for him.
Knowing Daniel wasn't happy in South Africa, Tiffany had to figure out what to do for her family, including her baby on the way. Tiffany was afraid of putting a lot of financial pressure on Ronald, which could result in a relapse.
"We'll make it work," Ronald said.
But Tiffany said she didn't want Daniel and their baby to be raised the way Ronald had been raised. Tiffany said she was just being honest and wanted to return to the United States and apply for his visa to come to America.
"Even though it's a really long shot considering Ronald's criminal history, I can't just move to South Africa and not at least try to get him into the U.S.," Tiffany told the cameras.
Ronald said he'd regret not being there for his baby's birth for the rest of his life. He didn't want Tiffany to go through it alone, but Tiffany said their relationship was going to take sacrifice and compromise.
Ronald understood where Tiffany was coming from, but it made him very sad. He said the thought of Tiffany, Daniel and his unborn baby getting on an airplane cut his heart up into pieces. Ronald claimed he really loved Daniel and had become a father to him.
However, Ronald promised Tiffany that he would stand by her, just as she had supported him through so much.
