Below is the latest on each couple, according to the new 90 Day Fiance episode:

ASHLEY and JAY

Ashley was so excited to bring her man back to America with her. Jay's mother is in the United States but his father is in Jamaica. He felt sad leaving his father, who split from Jay’s mom when he was younger.

Jay's father had a lot of girlfriends in Jamaica, and while Ashley thought the guys were similar, Jay told the cameras he wanted to become a better man than his father is.

Ashley didn't want Jay to regret his decision to come to the United States and resent her for it down the road.


Jay then said goodbye to his family at the airport and traveled to America. He hoped he was ready for this new adventure, but he was sad about missing the upcoming birth of his niece.

When Jay and Ashley arrived in Baltimore, MD, they were both very excited.

Jay didn't know what to expect, but he felt "lifted," acknowledging he was "in a better place." The couple anticipated a lifetime of love ahead of them.

Besides the cold weather, Ashley was nervous about how Jay was going to adjust to life in the United States.

Not only is he not allowed to have open containers of alcohol outside and pee outdoors, but he was moving into "an all-white suburban area," according to Ashley.


Ashley was hoping Jay wouldn't have to deal with racial issues, but she said her community's reaction to their relationship might serve as an "eye-opener" for her.

Jay quickly got settled into Ashley's place, which he compared to "a five-star hotel." Jay thought it was amazing, and he even made snow angels in the carpet.

STEVEN and OLGA

Steven hadn't seen Olga in nine months and was flying over 4,000 miles to spend time with her. In about a week, he was going to become a father.


The couple had applied for the K-1 visa but didn't hear anything back yet. Steven wanted to be present for the birth of his baby, so he decided to travel abroad for the first time ever. Steven was looking forward to meeting his son and getting to know Olga better.

After flying, Steven took a seven hour train ride to see his girl. Steven was so excited to meet her but he was nervous at the same time because a lot was going to change -- and fast. He was hoping to recapture the spark they had established during their summer romance.

Meanwhile, Olga from Voronezh, Russia, surprised Steven at the train. She was excited and overwhelmed with emotion to see Steven.

And he, in turn noted it "felt like a fantasy, like a dream" to see Olga in person again. Olga and Steven agreed this was the happiest they had been in a long time. Steven, however, only knew a few words in Russian.

Olga apparently grew up without parents, and so both individuals came from a difficult past but were looking forward to a brighter future. Olga admitted it was going to be weird to live with Steven because they had only gotten to know each other for three weeks prior to this visit. 


Steven wanted to be in the delivery when his son was born. He refused to miss the birth, but Olga said he needed special permission. Steven soon discovered the baby could be born any day, not necessarily one week from that point. 

Steven then sweetly took Olga shopping for baby supplies.

ERIC and LEIDA

Eric said they were going to spend a few days on the east coast, starting with Philadelphia, while waiting for Leida's parents to arrive from Indonesia.

Eric feared what Leida's family would think about him because he didn't have much money. Eric said wealth and status is very important in Indonesia, and he also thought Leida's sister Reina was "judgmental."


Leida worried Reina would make her come home because her life would be better in her home country.

Leida also didn't like that Eric was paying his ex-wife child support. Leida said it needed to stop, and she simply didn't understand why such a setup was necessary.

Leida's parents weren't happy about her move to America, so they wanted to make sure Eric was the right person for her. Eric, as a result, felt a lot of pressure to please.

Eric met Leida's parents once before and they got along great, but Eric said they weren't aware of his financial situation and living arrangements. 

When Leida's parents arrived in the United States, her father, Wim, said Eric needed to provide for his daughter, and he was about to find out whether Eric could do such a thing.

COLT and LARISSA

Colt said Larissa hadn't stopped complaining since she arrived in America, starting with Colt's mistake of not bringing flowers. Colt said there were going to be hurdles to overcome, especially Larissa living with his mother, Debbie.

Larissa was "worried" about Colt living with Debbie, and she admittedly didn't love it.

When Larissa and Debbie first met, Debbie started crying because she was so happy, but then Larissa confessed Las Vegas looked nothing like the pictures she had seen. 

Larissa also complained there was no furniture in the living room -- although Colt told Larissa she could pick out a sofa.

"I don't like the house because it's small. There's no furniture in the living room and there are ugly decorations," Larissa told the cameras, adding that she wanted to move to a bigger house with a pool.


Larissa said she hated Las Vegas so she wanted to at least move into a bigger and better house. Debbie told Larissa she could decorate everything the way she wanted so she would feel comfortable and welcome.

Larissa then complained about the slot machine in the kitchen that was a gift from Colt's father. Debbie cried because the meeting didn't go smoothly and Larissa didn't seem to like anything about Colt's life.

Colt acknowledged the girls needed patience and more time to build a bond. The first meeting went terribly and Colton was a little hurt and disappointed Larissa wasn't more patient, understanding or kind.

As for Debbie, she expected to meet a sweet and wonderful person like Colt had described, but she noted Larissa wasn't at all whom she had anticipated.

Debbie said Larissa didn't have one nice thing to say, that she condemned everything upon walking into the house. Debbie called her "selfish," "demanding" and "not very nice." Debbie even suggested to her son that Larissa lacked "common courtesy."

Debbie and Larissa were clearly at odds right off the bat, and Colt feared about the two sides being at war with each other.


The next morning, however, Larissa made breakfast for Colt and his mother in order to make amends for how she had behaved the previously day.

Larissa admitted she had lied about her cooking skills, but it was still a nice gesture. Larissa hoped Debbie would no longer view her as a rude person.

JONATHAN and FERNANDA

Fernanda said she loved being in America but hated the visa process because she couldn't work and felt bored and alone in the apartment. Since she's not even 21 years old, Fernanda said she couldn't have fun and go out with Jonathan's friends.

Fernanda also didn't find Jonathan's friends to be as fun as her own group from home.


Jonathan's close pal, Dani, however, was very nice to Fernanda and decided to take her shopping.

Fernanda told Dani she was concerned about their age gap because she didn't have much of a past while Jonathan had an extensive dating history. She also revealed she had found a thong in Jonathan's house.

Dani explained Jonathan just moved that dresser from house to house without cleaning out its drawers. Fernanda started crying, saying she thought the worst but wanted to believe Jonathan.

Dani admitted it was "typical Jonathan" and he's just a "dumb boy." But Dani assured Fernanda she had nothing to worry about.

Fernanda acknowledged she only had 90 days to figure out everything about her man.

When Jonathan returned home, they started cleaning his "bachelor" pad. Jonathan's sense of humor and personality distracted her from the pain she felt of leaving her family and friends behind, but she was still having a very tough time.


After all, Fernanda took care of her brother and sister a lot at home because her mother worked very hard. Fernanda's family also missed her terribly in return, but the teen's mother assured Fernanda that she would be fine.

After video chatting with her family, Fernanda broke down into tears in Jonathan's arms. He did his best to comfort and console her. Jonathan knew their relationship was on the line and she could return to her home country at any point.

KALANI and ASUELU

Kalani hoped Asuelu could make her happy and be a good father, even though he had a young mentality.

Kalani's mother had also set high expectations for Asuelu, who admitted his baby was constantly cranky and he wished he would smile.


Kalani then prepped her boyfriend for an upcoming dinner with her parents and sister by taking him to a nearby beach and diving into deep conversation.

Asuelu always dreamed of coming to America. Although he thought the beach was crowded and cold -- and he noticed the seaweed and lack of coconuts in the trees -- he really liked the scenery and called it "Paradise."

Asuelu was nervous about dinner the next day, especially since he'd be meeting Kalani's father Low, who prayed Asuelu was going to be a nice and humble man -- and "not an a-sh-le."

Kalani admitted Low was "scary" and "intimidating," and then Asuelu cried about the idea of her family hating him. Asuelu wanted to be good enough for Kalani and their son, and the emotional conversation broke Kalani's heart.

The next day, it became time for the big dinner. Kalani's sister, Kolini -- who goes by "Lini" -- was prepared to be nice to Asuelu, but she still wasn't over Kalani's allegations he had cheated on her.

"I don't really know if he's good enough for my sister and the baby," Lini said.


Asuelu apologized to Low for not asking his permission to date Kalani to begin with, and Low said if he disrespected his daughter, they were going to have issues.

Asuelu revealed he never went to school but he's a hardworker and has experience with construction. He also insisted he's truly in love with Kalani and wants to get married and have a family.

Low told the cameras Asuelu better not get lazy or he'd be in for "loads of trouble." It was also hard for Lini to watch Asuelu be a dad to Oliver, since that's basically the role she had filled for months.

It was a tense dinner, and Kalani wasn't sure whether she could marry Asuelu if her family didn't approve of their relationship.
