After traveling across the world, the couples will determine if love can conquer all as they experience challenges such as language barriers, interfering families, cultural differences, age gaps, ex partners, and baggage from the past.

Below is what happened on Episode 7 of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days' sixth season.

STATLER and DEMPSEY

Statler was shown landing in England, but Dempsey had missed her connecting flight from Thailand and so she wasn't going to arrive until the next day.


Statler was really upset about the turn of events, even though they weren't Dempsey's fault, and her insecurities were creeping in. Statler, for example, wondered if Dempsey had done this on purpose or was seeing someone else. However, Statler decided to remain positive and keep her spirits up.

Statler had already booked a nice hotel room in Manchester, so she planned to relax and refresh herself in the room while awaiting Dempsey's arrival. The hotel was a cozy and romantic place, and Statler joked about how she was waiting to get laid.

After Statler arrived in England, she was sick all night and having stomach issues. She and Dempsey were supposed to meet up, so Statler wasn't sure what was going to happen.

"There's no way I can meet Dempsey like this," Statler said, noting how she had caught a bug or something.

Statler booked a doctor's appointment, and Dempsey hoped her girlfriend would feel better soon.


Statler didn't want to miss any more days with Dempsey, so she planned to get some medicine.

After her visit with the doctor, Statler said she had a parasite and was not contagious, which was a relief. Statler had a bit more pep in her step, and she felt ready to finally meet Dempsey in-person after months of talking and videochatting.

Suddenly, Statler felt very excited, nervous and overwhelmed. The two women then met, and Statler told Dempsey that her eyes were mesmerizing. Their meeting was a little awkward because they just hugged and didn't kiss.

But Dempsey said she felt a connection with Statler, who made her blush. Statler also said she felt "at home" with Dempsey, who gave her butterflies in her heart.


Statler and Dempsey had bought gifts for each other, and Statler invited Dempsey to sleep over in her hotel room. Statler said Dempsey had a great butt, even better in person, and Dempsey couldn't stop giggling.

GINO and JASMINE

Gino and Jasmine were going to the Panama Canal, which Gino found fascinating since he's an engineer. Jasmine gushed about how their two countries have "a love history," but she noticed that Gino was acting weird. Jasmine told Gino that they needed to work on communication and he was acting defensive.

Jasmine told Gino that she had communication problems with her ex-boyfriend, and then Gino said he didn't have those issues in his prior marriage and they rarely even fought. Jasmine claimed Gino and his ex-wife didn't fight because their relationship was boring, but Gino disagreed.

Gino also said that if Jasmine was going to mention her ex, he would do the same. He was wondering if there was something going on with Jasmine and her ex, Dane, whom she had said was "just a friend."

Gino called Jasmine out for having lied to him about the history of her relationship with Dane, and he asked what was going on. Jasmine insisted nothing was going on and that she wasn't cheating on him. She called Gino's paranoia "crazy" and started laughing, but Gino didn't think the situation was funny.


"You know I laugh when I'm nervous," Jasmine said.

"Why are you nervous? Are you cheating on me?" Jasmine asked.

Jasmine insisted she wasn't cheating on Gino and that they were just friends, but Gino acknowledged how Jasmine didn't allow him to be friends with any of his exes. With that being said, Jasmine reminded Gino how he had sent nude photos of her to her ex.

Jasmine, however, still had to tell Gino that she and Dane lived in the same apartment complex. She then told Gino that she and Dane spoke once a day and sometimes met up to chat, which she considered "friend stuff."

Gino was upset to learn that Jasmine and Dane lived in the same building, and that she had gone out for coffee with him a few days prior.

"I never would have paid for this apartment Jasmine is staying in if I knew her ex lived in the same building, and the fact Jasmine is pretending this is no big deal, it makes her look very suspicious," Gino told the cameras.


Jasmine said she and Dane weren't attracted to each other physically, although they briefly acted as friends with benefits because their sex was good. But Jasmine said their sexual relationship stopped once Gino entered the picture.

Jasmine then broke down about how Gino rejected her all the time and never wanted to have sex with her, which unlocked new levels of insecurity inside of herself.

"I remember how it was like having sex with him," Jasmine confessed.

"That is very, very low. Do you think it's okay that you fantasize about having sex with him?" Gino asked.

"If our sexual life was better, then I would fantasize about us," Jasmine said.

Gino determined that Jasmine had cheated on him by having these type of interactions with her ex-boyfriend. Gino started losing his trust in Jasmine, and he said they couldn't get married without trust.


"This is bad," Gino lamented, "very bad."

MEISHA and NICOLA

Meisha had been in Israel for a couple of days, but she said her trip was a mixed bag. While she was enjoying Nicola's company and exploring the Holy City with him, she said her concerns and feelings weren't being heard at all.

Meisha wanted to meet Nicola's family after seven years of dating, and she was upset that they didn't know anything about her. Meisha noted that she'd feel better if Nicola welcomed her into his family and made her feel accepted.

Suddenly, Meisha changed her clothes in the backseat of their car so she could put on a dress, which Nicola thought was strange and "wordily." But Meisha didn't think there was anything wrong with a quick change, especially since she used to work as a television reporter.

Nicola then accused Meisha of rushing their relationship when they had "forever" to spend together, but Meisha said Nicola didn't listen to her or care about her feelings, which was a big problem.


"If I go back home and I'm not engaged to you, Nicola, then this will be over -- so that we're not held captive in this space forever. We have to have an answer," Meisha declared.

Nicola thought he and Meisha were going to overcome obstacles together and stay together no matter what, so he seemed a little bothered. However, he assured the cameras that his end goal was to get engaged to Meisha and become her husband.

That night, Meisha wanted to have a beer with Nicola and just have fun with him. Nicola didn't want to lose Meisha, so he said he was trying to adapt himself to meet her needs and desires.

Nicola told Meisha that devout Catholics don't go to nightclubs or smoke cigarettes, and then Meisha revealed that she smoked one cigarette every year on New Year's Eve. This news shocked Nicola, and she said he didn't like it.

Meisha said she wouldn't feel shame going to a nightclub because she loves to dance, which she didn't consider a sin, but Nicola pointed out how such actions result in temptation.

Meisha asked Nicola if he would judge her daughters for going out dancing, and Nicola said he wouldn't want to fight with her daughters in fear it would ruin their romantic relationship.


Nicola agreed to spend five minutes in the club with Meisha, and Meisha was clearly having a blast.

Nicola put a smile on his face, and Meisha was grateful and relieved to see Nicola in this light and come out of his shell. It made Meisha feel good to know that Nicola would be willing to compromise with her.

TYRAY and CARMELLA

Lashanti was shown picking Tyray up and driving him to meet with a private investigator, whom he had hired to track down Carmella. Tyray thought his connection with Carmella was real and that her boyfriend or husband were trying to break them up.

"I'm finally ready to get to the truth," Tyray noted.

Tyray and Lashanti then sat down with the private investigator, Louis, who said he had found some information on Carmella. Louis shared how he had tracked down Carmella's photos and determined that she's a "cam porn star."


Louis had found one of Carmella's Twitter accounts, and it said she's a fetish queen who lives in the United States. Tyray said this woman was not the person whom he had fallen in love with.

Tyray appeared very upset and disappointed, especially because this relationship had meant the world to him. Tyray thought he and Carmella were soul mates, and so he called this news "devastating."

Regardless, Tyray wanted to contact Carmella again. He thought there could be a connection between Carmella and Christian, and so he didn't plan on giving up on his love just yet.

Tyray, however, knew that it was probably time to tell his mother about Carmella and what was going on.

Tyray later messaged Carmella to chat, but she never responded to him. Tyray didn't know what to think, and the situation was driving him crazy.

Tyray then opened up to his mother about how he had traveled to Barbados before to meet Carmella, a man who had been catfishing him. Tyray's mother hated seeing her son so down, but Tyray said he wanted to find this person and he'd even be willing to return to Barbados again.


Tyray wanted to know if their love was real, and he was admittedly desperate for some closure.

RILEY and VIOLET

Riley had arrived in Vietnam a few days ago, and they were shown going to a war museum together. Violet wanted to share her culture with Riley and let him know that he had been acting a bit rude.

Violet explained to Riley how her mother thought he was a jealous and controlling man, but Riley argued, "I'm not trying to control; I'm trying to understand what's going on."

Violet's mother also thought Riley wasn't thoughtful because he had shown up to her house without flowers and chocolates. Riley said he didn't know what was appropriate or what Violet's mother liked. Riley said it was never his intention to disrespect her or her family.

"I need to learn more about your culture. But my question to you is: when are you going to learn more about my culture?... You called me 'fat and ugly' in front of people," Riley recalled, adding how that was rude and disrespectful.


Violet said she was just joking around at the time, but Riley said that was unacceptable and had come across like an attack due to the color of his dark skin. Violet apologized for hurting Riley, and he accepted it.

Riley explained to Violet how they needed to ask each other questions and better understand each other. With that being said, Riley asked her to join him for dinner that evening.

"Things are starting to open up for us. I want to believe we are getting back on track, but in reality, we have a lot of issues that we need to address," Riley told the cameras.

At dinner that night, Riley went to the bathroom and left Violet to FaceTime and have a candid conversation with his best friend, Tiffanie.

"Why were you still on the [dating] app after you were adamant about him not being on the app?" Tiffanie asked Violet. "That's a little strange to me."

Violet appeared angry and caught off-guard, and Violet's answer was not shown.

CLEO and CHRISTIAN

Once Christian arrived in England, he just fell asleep in the AirBnB, which left Cleo feeling disappointed. Cleo had been hoping for more affection and intimacy with Christian during their first night together.

After Cleo put estrogen gel on her arm, Christian felt a little out of his element and uncomfortable. Christian, for example, worried that the gel may rub off of her and onto him.

Christian looked forward to exploring London without a set plan, but this triggered Cleo since she has autism and viewed the world as an unpredictable and overwhelming place sometimes. Cleo wanted Christian to enjoy his first time in London, and so she did her best to stay cool, calm and collected.

That night, the pair enjoyed cocktails together, and Christian apologized for falling asleep next to her the previous night. Cleo said she wouldn't have slept with Christian on the first night anyway, and he seemed a bit surprised by her statement.

Christian said he loves to dance and wanted to go somewhere a bit more lively. He wanted to see Cleo let loose and come out of her shell since she had been acting shy during their first day together.


Once the pair sat down at the bar, which featured many lights and stimuli, Cleo confessed to the cameras that she was feeling claustrophobic.

Christian then revealed to Cleo how he had offered to buy two younger women on the plane drinks but he wasn't hitting on them. The flight attendant had apparently cut Christian off, and Cleo didn't like the idea of him flirting with random girls behind her back.

Christian insisted he's just a friendly guy who had done nothing wrong, but Cleo was bothered and a little jealous.

"There is definitely a part of me that is worried about whether we are 100 percent compatible," Cleo told the cameras.

While out with Cleo, Christian chatted up a table of women near them who were celebrating someone's birthday. Cleo struggled to process information given more than one person was talking at a time, and it was a challenging social environment for her.

Cleo wished that Christian would've been more considerate, and she said she didn't feel special. Cleo was clearly exhausted, and she admitted that this was the type of relationship she didn't want to be in.
