KALANI AND ASUELU

About a week passed since Kalani and Asuelu visited Asuelu's family in Washington.

Kalani said her trip to Washington was "awful," probably "the worst trip" of her life, and she and Asuelu were avoiding having a conversation about everything in Utah.

Kalani had been feeling like she didn't even want to be married anymore, but her mother Lisa reminded her therapy would be an option. Kalani said if she and Asuelu got divorced, she wanted to feel like she had done everything she could.

Kalani wasn't going to give up, and she added, "I feel like I've tried my hardest with this marriage and I'm doing everything I can to fix it. I feel like therapy has become an ultimatum now and he's going to have go with me."


Kalani acknowledged they both had issues they needed to work out.

"I can't keep living like this. It's insane," Kalani noted.

Kalani said Asuelu seemingly wanted to put her in her place but that wasn't going to happen, and Lisa agreed Asuelu was a good actor and seemed to be pretending to be someone he's not.

Asuelu told Kalani they had an issue with her family getting involved in their relationship, but Kalani accused her husband's loved ones of doing the exact same thing.


Kalani was frustrated because she thought Asuelu didn't like talking through their issues, and she said the elephant in the room was getting "bigger and bigger" to the point where neither spouse could even stand each other anymore.

Kalani said she wanted her boys to grow up and see a happy relationship and marriage.

"How bad is our relationship at?" Asuelu asked.

"If we keep continuing on like this, I don't think we're going to stay married," Kalani admitted.

Kalani reiterated how they needed to see a therapist, but Asuelu insisted a "white person" wouldn't understand his side. Asuelu asked to find a male Samoan therapist, but Kalani noted that would be hard to find and they could at least find a translator to help them out.


Asuelu told the cameras he wanted to make his relationship work and fix things, and Kalani told her husband that she couldn't keep living the same way.

"I don't think he understands that I'm at -- I'm past my breaking point. I'm done at this point. I'm giving him a last chance and he's either going to take it or he's going to take his sh-t out of the house," Kalani shared in a confessional.

Asuelu agreed to therapy, but it wasn't clear whether that could even help the couple at this point.

Kalani and Asuelu later met with a male therapist, and Kalani had no idea how the session was going to go. Kalani, however, asked for a translator for Asuelu so they could both feel heard and understood.

The couple sat down with Dr. Matt Eschler and the Samoan translator, Ilena Williams.

Kalani explained she and Asuelu weren't seeing eye to eye with anything in their life together and she was at odds with her husband's family. Asuelu said it made him "mad and frustrated" and feel like less of a man when Kalani said he couldn't give more money to his family back in Samoa.

But Kalani said she gave what she could and there wasn't more she could do.

Asuelu said that in Samoan culture, the man is the head of the household and the woman is the neck, adding that the woman should not cross a line. But Kalani said it's not okay Asuelu viewed her like his property.

Asuelu was also angry Kalani had decided they wouldn't see his family anymore, without letting Asuelu decide what to do. Asuelu felt Kalani had tried to ruin his relationship with his family.

Dr. Eschler gave the couple homework and asked them to each write down which person should do which tasks or responsibilities in the home.


The therapist was hoping the pair could begin a brand new tradition or way of life that neither of them was accustomed to, and Kalani said she and Asuelu had made a little progress.

During the ride back home, Asuelu told his wife that she wanted her to make amends with his family, but Kalani wasn't sure how that was going to happen, especially since Asuelu's sister Tammy had tried to fight her.

"I love you and I'm trying to help our marriage and fix our marriage. It's not that I don't want to. I'll try for you," Kalani told Asuelu.

But Kalani told the cameras she wasn't going to allow Asuelu's mother and sister to treat her the way they had in Washington.

COLT AND JESS

Jess accused Colt of loving "everybody," and she was furious Colt had allegedly sent nude photos to eight girls "in two weeks." Jess yelled at Colt, who admitted he had sent "d-ck" pics to the women he had talked to while he and Jess were broken up.

But that wasn't all Colt had done wrong to Jess. Colt revealed to his girlfriend while she was visiting Las Vegas that Vanessa had moved in with Debbie and himself as a roommate.

Colt told the cameras he was so tired of lying and so he felt it would be best to just come clean to Jess if they were going to have any hope of moving forward together as a romantic couple.

Colt insisted he and Vanessa were just strictly friends, but Jess wasn't buying it.

Jess broke down into tears and was so angry, but Colt said Vanessa just needed a place to go. Colt told Jess that he loved her and wanted only her, but Jess was extremely upset and complained she couldn't trust her boyfriend.

Debbie walked in on the couple arguing in the living room, and Jess asked to speak with Colt's mother in private.

Debbie told the cameras Jess had brought all of this onto herself, but Jess cried to Debbie, saying that she really loved Colt but Colt kept lying to her.


Debbie gave Jess a hug but then promised Jess that Colt and Vanessa were just friends.

Jess asked Debbie to see her side of things, but Debbie said, "I'm the one who asked Vanessa to move in... He didn't want to tell you because he didn't want you to hate Vanessa. She has no feelings for Colt."

"You have a big heart. You love me, you love Vanessa, you love Larissa," Jess said. "You love everybody."

Colt told Jess that he had treated her "wrong," and then he gave her a hug and professed his love again. Jess said she didn't believe Colt and was "so tired," but he repeated, "I'm so sorry. I'm sorry I wasn't a good boyfriend."

Jess then said goodbye and walked out of Colt's house, and he didn't try to stop her.

"I hurt. I thought Colt [loved] me, but Colt no respect me," Jess said in a confessional. "I'm done with Colt forever. I no want Colt [in] my life. Colt's trash man, not man enough."

Colt said he realized his relationship with Jess was over and he definitely wasn't a good boyfriend and had made a lot of mistakes.

Colt admitted he needed time to process everything and admitted, "After my divorce... I feel like I don't know who I am anymore."

ANGELA AND MICHAEL

Angela went a full night without talking to Michael after their joint bachelor/bachelorette party, but she confessed she had said some nasty things she didn't mean.

Angela was upset Michael and his two friends had taken her to a club with half-naked women dancing around, but the pair were supposed to get married the very next day.

Angela therefore sat down with Michael at their dinner table, and he gifted his future bride a beautiful wedding bouquet. Angela was thrilled and thought it came out so pretty because her mother and all of her children and grandkids were represented in the color scheme.


Angela broke down into tears at the thought her family was going to miss her wedding, but Michael was there to comfort and console her.

Angela told Michael that she had been on a rollercoaster with him from the beginning and she hoped she could trust him 100 percent, especially since it would probably take time for the spousal visa to come through.

Angela explained why she was hurt when Michael allegedly looked at "the strippers" at their party. She said she wanted her future husband's respect and for Michael to show his loyalty and love to her through his actions and not just through his words.

"If you're sorry, show me. It's that simple," Angela noted.

Michael said he was going to try his best to make Angela happy because she was going to be his wife and that meant the world to him. Michael promised to change his behavior and become a better man, and with that being said, Angela forgave him and expressed her love.


"Even through the ups and downs, it's been a beautiful journey that me and Michael have been on. I always imagined Michael being at the end of the aisle," Angela said, adding that she was willing to do whatever it takes to move Michael to America so he could be with her forever.

Angela woke up on her wedding day feeling very nervous. She joked with the cameras, "At 54, what is wrong with me?!"

As for Michael, he said he was feeling "happy and excited" about getting married and his life was about to change. Michael looked forward to his family and friends attending the ceremony, and Angela gave her groom hugs and kisses.

"I'm doing this for the cake!" yelled Angela, who was admittedly "scattered" when trying to get ready for her big day.

"I'm just running around with my head up my ass... I didn't think [being with Michael] was going to be this hard, but reality has kicked me in the ass."

The couple, plus Angela's witness JoJo, then drove up to a lovely wedding venue with flowers and a small body of water nearby. Angela FaceTimed with her family before the ceremony, and her grandkids wished her good luck.

Michael promised Angela they could have a second wedding once they moved to the United States, but Angela was concerned about her mother being sick and potentially passing away before then.

Angela said it was "bittersweet" to marry Michael without her relatives in attendance, and a part of her feared they'd still be denied a spousal visa after the wedding.

"This could all be for nothing," Angela said. "I'm scared to death. What the f-ck?!"

Marrying in Nigeria was not how Angela had envisioned things, so she suddenly sat down and appeared to have an anxiety attack. Angela referred to herself as a hot mess, but JoJo was right by Angela's side as she had her hair done.

Angela admitted she wasn't happy and her nerves were shot. She said, "I don't know if I can do this because I'm concerned I might be making a huge mistake with Michael in Nigeria because the risks are he might not be able to come to the States."


Angela said just because she was getting married in Nigeria, it didn't mean Michael would be approved for a spousal visa. Angela feared her concerns and doubts on her wedding day were a sign she shouldn't be marrying Michael that day.

"Is this normal for a bride? I don't know," Angela asked the cameras.

Michael hoped Angela would be able to enjoy herself even though she was so emotional, and he told the cameras he loved and wanted to be with Angela, even though his friends were upset Angela had ruined the bachelor party.

The episode concluded with Angela dressed in her wedding gown, with her hair pulled up into a high bun wrapped in a crown. Angela said her head was spinning before walking down the aisle, and she wondered if Michael would even adjust to and be happy with a life in America.

ELIZABETH AND ANDREI

Elizabeth, Andrei and Elizabeth's family walked through a park and discussed last-minute wedding details. However, Elizabeth's dad Chuck, brother Charlie, and sister Jenn were hoping Andrei was going to open up about his shady past and unexplained move from Moldova to Ireland.

Jenn brought up "a family issue" by saying Andrei's pal Marcel had met up with them and informed them of some things that really worried them.


"What did he tell you?" Andrei asked.

"Basically that you were forced out of your country," Chuck revealed. "That's what he said."

Elizabeth appeared shocked and asked Andrei, "It's not true right? Is it true?! You were forced? What are they talking about?"

Charlie asked Andrei to share his side of the story, and Andrei replied, "Yes, I was forced [out], and yes, I left... [but] it's none of your business, dude."

Andrei said Elizabeth's family was making a habit of trying to piss him off at every gathering. At this particular gathering, they were just supposed to talk about wedding details.


Andrei felt like he was under investigation, and so he finally explained, "The corruption here makes people do a lot of stuff, okay? So when you're in the police, you have to close [your] eyes sometimes and you have to go along, okay?"

Andrei said a police officer must execute the orders of someone in a higher rank.

"If you say, 'No,' they will try to set you up," Andrei claimed. "So I got set up with some stuff, and afterward, I said, 'No, I'm not going to do that anymore. And I just f-cking left."

"Somebody tried to frame you?" Chuck asked.

"Exactly," Andrei confirmed.

Andrei explained to the cameras corruption in Moldova is very bad and a person going into the police force must decide to "play the game and break the rules -- or get out."


"And I chose to get out," Andrei said.

Andrei said if he stayed in the police force, he could end up riding around in a $100,000 car or be locked away in jail.

Andrei suggested the police in Moldova make such a small amount of money -- "80 hours a week for $250, max," according to Elizabeth's husband -- they feel they must be corrupt, like they don't even have a choice in the matter.

Chuck and Charlie weren't convinced Andrei was being entirely truthful with them, but the situation seemed to improve. Andrei argued with Elizabeth that he had told her this story before, but Elizabeth disagreed and said Andrei had told her that he just moved to Ireland to make more money.

"This is not how he had explained it to me, and it's actually pretty disheartening because when you're husband and wife, you should be open and honest from the beginning -- and I thought that he was. But now, hearing what Marcel told [my family], I need to know the truth, right now," Elizabeth complained.


Later on, Elizabeth sought answers from Andrei and asked her husband to be 100 percent honest with her. Andrei assured her that his past was the past, but Elizabeth didn't feel settled.

"I will not marry you again without knowing the 100 percent truth," Elizabeth said.

"The truth is what I told you," Andrei insisted.

"No it's not. That's not the truth," Elizabeth replied, before telling the cameras she felt totally betrayed.

Elizabeth wondered what else Andrei was keeping from her since he apparently had so many secrets. Andrei repeated the story about how higher-ranking officials had asked him to do some things and he refused, and so he left.

"I had to leave the country, because if I didn't leave, they will set me up. And I would lose everything -- not only my job but I would lose my f-cking life," Andrei explained.


Andrei said if he continued working in law enforcement, officials would ask him to do illegal things and everyone had "connections." He said the system is "like a mob" and he "escaped."

Andrei said he left the right way and so he no longer had any ties to law enforcement or its "mob." Andrei assured Elizabeth that everything was fine, but Elizabeth felt like she didn't even know her husband.

Andrei apologized for hurting Elizabeth, but he said he didn't want to hurt her and he was totally clean and not a man to be afraid of. With that being said, Andrei hugged his wife, and he said, "Come on, it's over babe."

Elizabeth asked Andrei to be honest with her at all times going forward, and he said, "I will. It's all good... There is nothing else [I need to tell you]. We are moving forward, okay?"

Elizabeth told the cameras she felt a little better and would always love Andrei the same.


Andrei said he was afraid to lose Elizabeth if she knew the whole truth, so he was glad she wasn't going anywhere.


TANIA and SYNGIN

Syngin said things between Tania and himself got "very heated" at his family barbecue, which is known as a braai in South Africa, and things didn't go as he had planned or hoped.

However, the couple tried to turn over a new leaf by taking Syngin's family to a nearby winery. Tania just hoped Syngin's family wouldn't view her differently or in a negative light after her fight with her husband.

Over a glass of wine, Tania admitted to Syngin's loved ones she can come across as controlling sometimes, and Syngin's parents explained Syngin is very sensitive although he tries to come across like a "tough dude."

Syngin was just getting used to having responsibilities and being married, so he admitted the situation was a little scary and he couldn't help but question if he was losing his freedom or changing himself too much.

Tania told Syngin that she wanted to work on things and not struggle for the next 10 years. And Syngin's parents agreed Syngin and Tania weren't in a marriage to fight all the time -- they're in a marriage to love and support each other.

Syngin said he wanted to make his relationship work, but if times only got worse, it would probably be best to end his marriage and go his separate way from Tania. Syngin acknowledged how he wanted a "healthy" marriage.

Tania and Syngin then met with two of Syngin's friends, Andrew and James, who apparently never thought the couple would work out after first meeting Tania.

Syngin's friends argued Tania had ignored red flags while Syngin had always been honest with her about who he is and what he's about. Syngin told Tania that he had never been more committed to someone or something in his life, but Tania cried, "You know what I'm looking for and you know what I need."

Syngin's friends told Tania that "change doesn't happen overnight," but Tania insisted she wasn't trying to change Syngin. Tania claimed she just wanted to see Syngin go after one of his goals in life.


Andrew and James told the cameras Tania and Syngin seemed "worlds apart" and sometimes "love is not enough."

Tania said she just wanted more structure in her relationship, but Syngin's pals advised her to back off and be patient if she's in it for the long haul.

"I threw out my plans when I met Syngin, and I'm ready to get back to my plans," Tania said in a confessional. "I really need to do some thinking." 

PAUL AND KARINE

Paul said things were very tense in his marriage after Karine gave him a two-month ultimatum to find a job or she'd go back to Brazil. Paul was also still reeling from the fact Karine had met with an immigration attorney behind his back.

Paul said two months had passed and he had yet to find work, so he was worried Karine was going to give up on him and take off and head to Brazil.

Paul took Karine to a water-treatment plant so he could show her what America has to offer, and a part of him hoped to secure a job during his visit. Paul thought it would help his chances if he asked for a job when his wife and son Pierre were with him.


RELATED LINK: '90 DAY FIANCE' COUPLES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER? WHO HAS SPLIT? WHERE ARE THEY KNOW? (PHOTOS)

Karine was confused about why Paul had taken her to see such a place, and she acted offended and called it "ridiculous." Karine believed Paul was just trying to convince her water in Brazil is "poo poo water."

"If Paul knows so much about pipes, he should find a job," Karine griped in a confessional.

Karine said she didn't care if America is better than Brazil, and it seemed like nothing would convince her to stay in America -- except for Paul finding a job. Paul learned the treatment plant wasn't hiring at the moment, so he definitely left disappointed.

Paul explained to Karine that her meeting with an attorney had made him nervous, but Karine said if Paul was able to find a steady job, she'd continue living in the United States no problem.

Karine admitted she was lonely and missed her family, and she said her mother would help her raise Pierre in Brazil. Paul felt disappointed in himself for not being able to support his family, so he suggested they could compromise and all go back to Brazil together.


Paul said they had enough money to fly to Brazil as a family, and Karine gushed, "I am happy. I'm excited."

Karine said she just wanted what was best for her son and it was time to go back to Brazil.

"Giving up and going back to Brazil was not my plan. I wanted to live here [in America] and make a better life for everybody. I did everything I could and I couldn't make ends meet," Paul said.

"I couldn't make it work. I feel like I failed my family. We're going back temporarily, but I'm definitely concerned that once we're in Brazil, Karine is never going to want to come back."

LARISSA AND ERIC

Larissa said she received a message from Jess, asking to meet up and talk. The two girls therefore got together at a restaurant, and Larissa admitted the situation was "complicated."

Larissa blamed Jess for not listening to her before when Larissa had warned Jess that Colt is an alleged manipulator, user, player and demon.


Jess told Larissa that she felt like Colt had used her maybe to make Larissa jealous. Larissa said she thought Colt had found true love with Jess, but Jess felt Colt didn't care about her at all.

RELATED LINK: '90 DAY FIANCE: BEFORE THE 90 DAYS' COUPLES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER? WHO HAS SPLIT? WHERE ARE THEY NOW? (PHOTOS)

Jess said Colt had promised her so many things, including children, and Larissa insisted Colt's promises meant nothing and it appeared he wanted to be a pimp. Jess and Larissa then had a good laugh over how Colt's "d-ck" is allegedly "little" and he had nothing to show off in the pics he had sent multiple women.

The girls bonded by trashing Colt, and Jess mentioned how Colt claimed he and Vanessa were just friends. Larissa said Vanessa had bought Colt a "Groupon" while they were together -- something that Vanessa said would make Colt "relax" at Christmas time.

Jess couldn't believe it, and Larissa pointed out Colt had a relationship with Vanessa dating back to her marriage. Jess complained about how Colt always lied and mocked him, and Larissa got a few more laughs out of the conversation.

Larissa told Jess that she's beautiful, sweet and has big boobs while "Colt is nothing."


Jess determined Larissa is a good person, and Jess gushed, "I have a new friend now! Thank you, Colt!"

Jess thanked Larissa for opening her eyes, and Jess revealed her plan to continue working as an au pair and then apply for a student visa. Larissa gushed about how she had saved Jess from a life of hurt and pain.

"It's very happy to know that Colt is sad and lonely because he deserves everything that [has happened] to him," Larissa bragged in a confessional.
