JENNY and SUMIT
Jenny was shown waiting for Sumit at the airport in India. She was anxious, nervous and panicked because he was nowhere to be found, and her phone didn't even work.Jenny wandered around with her suitcases and began to worry Sumit's parents stopped him from picking her up. She had a feeling something went terribly wrong.
One hour after Jenny arrived, Sumit finally showed up. Jenny ran into his arms and admitted she was scared and feared she'd be lost in India.

Sumit revealed he was running late because his parents kept questioning him about his plans to move out.
Sumit's parents apparently didn't believe Sumit would be moving out of their house because of a new job in a new location, and they were right, because the real reason was that Sumit found an apartment for Jenny and himself.
"I'm lying because if my parents find out Jenny is here, they are going to stop me," Sumit told the cameras. "Now that we are together, I can finally feel the feeling of being happy."
Jenny said being with Sumit was all she wanted and she was incredibly happy as well.

Jenny and Sumit couldn't wait to spend the night together, but she quickly learned things were going to be tough because they wouldn't even have hot water.
Sumit said a lot of people in his family work in Gurgaon, where he got an apartment with Jenny, so he was concerned someone might see him with Jenny and rat him out.

"The apartment is great. It's more than what I expected," Jenny noted.
Sumit, however, wasn't sure how long they'd be able to keep the apartment. He knew he wouldn't be able to cover the cost on his own for a long period of time.
But Jenny cried tears of joy, telling Sumit that he meant the world to her and he was her life. She didn't care about their age gap and said she loved everything about him.
"I love Jenny, but at the same time, I love my parents. I don't know what I'm going to do -- whether I'll choose Jenny or I'll choose my parents over Jenny. I don't want to lose any of them," Sumit said in a confessional.
Once the pair got settled in their apartment, Sumit broke the news he had lied to his parents, and Jenny was very concerned about them finding out and flipping out.
It caused Jenny a lot of anxiety because she didn't know how long they'd be able to hide their relationship.
"This is a risk we are both taking. I don't know how strong Sumit is when it comes to standing up to his parents, and I'm worried he's having second thoughts about getting married," Jenny said in a confessional.

PAUL and KARINE
Paul arrived in Brazil to see Karine with two compact suitcases and planned to reside there permanently.Karine had no idea Paul was coming, and so he looked forward to surprising her.
"Moving to Brazil and never coming back is nerve-wracking. I love my parents and my family, but I want to be with Karine and I want to be there to help raise my baby when it's born," Paul told the cameras.
Meanwhile, Karine, 23, was seven months pregnant and had spent the last three months alone. She wanted her relationship with Paul to improve, so she began taking classes to learn English and improve their communication.

Karine was also upset Paul had canceled his flight, and Karine's brother Bonnie shared with the cameras that Karine spent a lot of time crying in her bedroom.
Bonnie didn't really like Paul and considered him to be "an unbalanced person." Bonnie wanted Paul to learn Portuguese and said Paul had the tendency to turn into "a demon" at times.
Karine insisted she truly loved Paul but needed him to "stop the drama," become a good father, and step up to the plate financially.

Karine wouldn't talk to Paul or answer his calls, so he hoped she would forgive him.
Paul found out someone was recently murdered right in front of Karine's building shortly after he left, so he hoped no one would rob him upon his arrival. They lived in a low-income area that Paul acknowledged was dangerous.
Suddenly, Paul walked into the apartment and Karine jumped into his arms and cried.
"I love you," Paul said, before Karine thanked him for coming.
Karine was scared by Paul's entrance in the middle of the night, but she was also overjoyed.
Paul explained he didn't have much luggage with him, and Karine was disappointed to see what he brought. Paul brought few baby supplies, and Karine told the cameras he didn't think sometimes and acted impulsively.
TIFFANY and RONALD
Tiffany asked her son Daniel how he felt about seeing South Africa for the first time, and Daniel said he was so excited to meet Ronald -- whom Daniel called "Dad" -- and looked forward to "hugging him so much."Ronald couldn't wait to have a father figure in his life because they had a great relationship, but Tiffany was still contemplating whether moving to the other side of the world was the right decision for her family.

It took a lot to open up to the idea of Daniel having a father, but Tiffany acknowledged it would be "beautiful" to see that void being filled in her son's life.
Although Daniel was happy about potentially moving to South Africa for Ronald, he wished his best friend Malique could be in his life forever. Daniel knew he was going to miss his friends, and that made things difficult.
Later on, Tiffany was shown packing up her belongings for South Africa. They were about to get on a plane, and Tiffany said she'd be getting married in eight days.
Tiffany noted she had a lot to think about because it would be difficult for Ronald to obtain a visa to enter the United States due to his criminal record.
"I don't know what the future holds, and that is scary, but I am one thousand percent committed to Ronald," Tiffany told the cameras.
Tiffany and Daniel then said goodbye to their relatives and headed to the airport for a trip of a lifetime. Tiffany couldn't wait to get to South Africa and tie the knot.
But Ronald would be fresh out of rehab upon her arrival. He apparently hadn't gambled in six months, and she hoped he could be consistent and continue to be strong.
"Unfortunately, the only Ronald I know is the Ronald that loves me but also the Ronald that put me through hell and hurt me and lied to me," Tiffany explained.

Tiffany needed Daniel to love life in South Africa and feel comfortable or else she wouldn't stay. Tiffany hoped Daniel and Ronald would have the same chemistry in person as they did over the phone and FaceTime.
"If Daniel hates it, I cannot force it just because it's something I want," Tiffany said.

LAURA and ALADIN
Laura paid a visit to her brother Ludwing and shared how she had met someone special.Laura said her relationship with Aladin was serious before dropping a lot of bombs on her brother.
"We've been talking for over a year and I actually kind of married him," Laura revealed. "Nine days after I met him."
Ludwing was shocked, and then Laura disclosed how she'd be moving to Qatar to be with him. Ludwing couldn't believe Laura was going to leave the comforts of America, and he predicted she would "suffer a little bit" in Qatar.
Laura explained she and Aladin obtained a marriage license so they could live together in Qatar. Otherwise, staying in the same hotel room or house would be forbidden for the couple.

Although Laura and Aladin were technically married, she said they had yet to exchange vows in a traditional three-day wedding in Aladin's home country.
Ludwing worried Aladin would want children and Laura wouldn't be able to give him a baby. That was also apparently a fear in the back of Laura's mind.
Laura wasn't even sure Aladin would remain faithful to her over the next 10 years or so as she ages, but she was ready to take that chance and take a risk for love.
Ludwing made some very valid points that Laura might be making a mistake, but he hoped things would work out for her, and Laura could only be optimistic about her future.
