OUSSAMA and DEBBIE
After spending one night in Oussama's family's home, Debbie said she felt she had aged 10 years. There was upholstery on the toilet seat and a garden hose in the shower."It took an act of God for me to get ready... This ain't my nest, I'm telling you right now," Debbie complained in a confessional, adding how she was going to beg Oussama to leave.
But first, Debbie expressed her appreciation to Oussama's parents for welcoming her into their home by giving his father a canvas, pencils and things to draw with. Oussama said Debbie meeting his family was great and beautiful, and his loved ones couldn't wait for Oussama to move to the U.S. and have a future there.
But then Debbie announced how she was moving to Morocco permanently to be with Oussama. His family was clearly under the assumption Debbie was going to move to Oussama to America and give him a visa.
Debbie was upset Oussama hadn't explained that, and everyone appeared surprised. Debbie said she hoped to live in Rabat and visit Oussama's family often in Khemisset.

Oussama declared how he had no problem with that and agreed with Debbie, but his sister Asmaa was shocked and worried that Debbie wouldn't like the culture in Morocco and then her brother would suffer because of that.
Asmaa also pointed out how she and Oussama always wanted to move away from Morocco.
Debbie received mixed signals from Oussama's family, and she wondered what story Oussama had told them. She declared how she and Oussama had some talking to do because she doesn't like secrets.
"Things are contradicting each other again and again," Debbie lamented in a confessional.
"First he said he wanted me to go home after one or two months, and now they're saying I'm taking their son to the United States too. Oussama isn't going to the United States and that wasn't our plan. And now all of a sudden, everything is going ass-backwards."
Oussama then showed Debbie his family's farm, which included donkeys, and they drew together while taking in the beautiful landscape.

Debbie asked Oussama to talk about their future plans, but he was tired of rehashing the same conversation over and over again. Oussama accused Debbie of rushing things, but she missed having deep, intellectual conversations with her partner.

"Our plan is you come here and you bring me to the USA and I will go to work there and we start our life there. We cannot guarantee our future here," Oussama told Debbie. "This is our plan, and I will, from this day, never change it. If you don't accept it, we can stop all of this."
JEN and RISHI
Jen was in tears because she didn't think Rishi was being honest with her about his parents' quest to put him in an arranged marriage.Rishi had told her that he didn't know what his parents were up to, but he admitted to Jen's friends that he had been introduced to several women whom his parents thought he could potentially marry. Jen found the situation "infuriating," but Rishi assured Jen's friends that his family just cared about him and were doing their responsibility.
Rishi insisted he wasn't lying to Jen and maybe they just had a language barrier, but Jen was certain that her fiance's story kept changing and didn't make sense. Jen wanted "the full f-cking story" or else she wouldn't feel satisfied and content in their relationship.
Meanwhile, Rishi didn't think Jen was handling the situation properly. Jen's friends, who didn't trust Rishi, also agreed Jen was getting a little flustered and overwhelmed. They promised Jen that everything was going to be okay.
In order to have some fun in India and take her mind off her relationship troubles, Jen took her friends to a traditional Indian dance class and then the women enjoyed some tea.
Jen suggested to her pals that they should meet with Rishi's family to get to the bottom of things. Jen desired clarity, and so her pal Randi noted how they should hire a translator to help guide the conversation.
Randi, a certified interventionist who said she knows how to break news to people in an appealing way, offered to tell Rishi's parents about Jen and Rishi's engagement for them, instead of waiting for Rishi's proposed date of August 2.
Jen loved the idea and said it would be a huge relief for Rishi's family to know the truth. She was also curious about what their reaction would be.
"Rishi's not going to be happy we're blindsiding him with this, but I honestly think it's going to be for his own good. He won't have this burden to tell his family; it will basically be done for him," Jen explained to the cameras.
Randi told Jen that if Rishi didn't side with her and pick her over his family -- if they happened to disapprove -- then he didn't deserve her. Jen agreed and said Rishi's time was up and she wanted everything out on the table.
"I want to know now from the family: is it a go or is it a hard pass," Jen shared.

GABRIEL and ISABEL
Gabriel was back in Florida trying to find and change all the documents necessary to marry Isabel. He had to change his sex as female to male, for example, on his birth certificate, and it was going to take about a month to fix everything.Gabriel was shown having lunch with his mother and sister Monica, and he was worried about how they were going to react to his pending wedding and marriage.
Gabriel told the cameras he had waited so long to tell them because they were probably going to make some negative comments.

Gabriel then revealed he had proposed marriage, and his family was upset that he hadn't told them anything about it. Monica said it hurt to be left out of the loop, especially because she thought they were best friends.
Monica wasn't sure Gabriel valued their relationship, and she said she wanted to be there for him and be a part of his engagement and marriage. Gabriel's mother was also upset because she had never even met Isabel before.
Gabriel's mother insisted she was super happy and excited for her son, but Gabriel explained how he didn't want his relatives to think that he was just "doing something crazy" again.
Gabriel felt guilty about excluding his family from his plans, but he was also worried about his fiance and little sister clashing since they both have strong personalities and can be "aggressive."
Gabriel then shared how he felt a prenuptial agreement would be setting his marriage up to fail, but his family suggested he should think twice since he had a successful business.
Gabriel was afraid Monica would overanalyze and criticize Isabel, which is apparently what she had done to his ex-girlfriends.
Once Gabriel got his documents in order, his wedding was only two weeks away. Gabriel said Isabel had been doing most of the planning and he'd probably come down with a case of cold feet the day before the wedding.

Gabriel was nervous about his fiancee and family coming together, and he just hoped Isabel and Monica were going to get along.
NICOLE and MAHMOUD
Mahmoud had just met Nicole's new friend, Nouran, and he admittedly didn't like them hanging out together. Nicole agreed Nouran had essentially attacked Mahmoud, and she wasn't sure if their friendship would negatively impact her marriage.Nicole said she didn't want the drama of her friend and husband fighting all the time.

Mahmoud's sister-in-law then took Nicole shopping in a local marketplace in Egypt. The streets were busy and chaotic, and Nicole was shocked to see that vendors sold live chickens.
Nicole was learning how to grocery shop and get a good deal, especially since she didn't speak Arabic.
Nicole had to rely on Mahmoud and his family for everything, which she noted was difficult for her and made her feel "helpless, gross and worthless."
Nicole said she admired Mahmoud's sister-in-law -- who became Muslim and had to move to Egypt to be with her husband -- for being so adaptive and speaking fluent Arabic.
"I worry I won't ever feel at home in this country," Nicole said in a confessional. "I want to want to live here, but I can't. It's just not my place. I want to live in America."
Nicole said she wanted Mahmoud to move to America to be with her. She had applied for a spousal visa for Mahmoud before moving to Egypt, just so they could have the option of him moving to the United States.
This was Nicole's backup plan, but she didn't think Mahmoud wanted to leave his native country.

"Because I can't live in Egypt," Nicole concluded.
Mahmoud then surprised Nicole with a trip to an animal shelter. He was going to give her a cat, and Nicole thought it was the sweetest surprise since she's an animal lover.
Nicole, however, didn't know what she'd do with a cat if she and Mahmoud chose not to stay in Egypt. Nicole therefore brought up to Mahmoud how she'd like to move to the United States.

Nicole told Mahmoud that she'd be happier in the United States, but Mahmoud didn't know what to say or think. He hadn't thought seriously about moving so far away from Egypt.
Mahmoud wasn't sure Americans would accept him as a Muslim from the Middle East, but he wanted to stay with Nicole.
"I don't know what to do. It's an awful feeling, in a way," Mahmoud told the cameras.
KRIS and JEYMI
Kris and Jeymi apparently weren't talking and Jeymi was upset about Kris staying in Alabama. Kris said she wanted to be with Jeymi in Colombia but she needed to work and save money in order to pay the bills in Colombia.Kris' mother was concerned because once Kris and Jeymi secured a nice apartment in Colombia, Jeymi stopped working. Kris also claimed she had sent Jeymi $1,000 and Jeymi complained it wasn't enough to pay the bills and her gym membership.
"So she was going to sell my necklace that has my locket with my dad's ashes in it," Kris told her mother.
Kris' mother called her daughter "a sugar mama" and dubbed Jeymi "a kept woman," which she found very disturbing. Kris' mother didn't want to see Kris' relationship continue in this direction, and she feared Jeymi was using Kris for money and stability.

Meanwhile, Jeymi said she was upset, frustrated and disappointed that her wife was gone. Jeymi said it felt like she was married to someone who didn't even exist. Jeymi said she was embarrassed to tell her friend Alex what was going on.
Jeymi said she understood that Kris needed to work in Alabama to make money but that Kris decided to stay in the U.S. longer than they had planned. Jeymi thought they were going to start a business together, and she wondered what had happened to their plans.
Jeymi told her friend that she was trying to find a job and it's not her fault she's an immigrant from Venezuela. Jeymi claimed not many people wanted to work with Venezuelans and it made finding a job challenging.

Jeymi also said she and Kris had agreed that Kris would pay for their apartment and she would pay the utilities.
"Kris stopped contributing to the rent the second or third month after she left," Jeymi told the cameras. "She promised I wouldn't have to worry about money, and here I am. I don't know if I can afford next month's rent."
Jeymi said the worst part was she couldn't have a conversation with Kris about it because she couldn't reach her. Alex had feared Kris was going to disappear again, and he said Kris was showing everyone her true colors.
However, Kris told Jeymi that she had purchased a plane ticket to return to Bogota, Colombia. Jeymi said they had a lot of things to talk about in person and Kris needed to hear her out.
"This trip that Kris is making is the definitive trip," Jeymi pointed out. "We both have to show each other, 'Are we giving our all or our we losing everything?'"
DANIELE and YOHAN
Daniele accused Yohan of acting childish over something so insignificant -- her wanting to go on a boat ride with her male friend whom she used to have a romantic or intimate relationship with.Daniele decided to go, even though her actions upset her husband, because she didn't want to be stuck in a house filled with conflict.

Taylen was surprised Yohan didn't want to meet him, and Daniele said Yohan was acting like "a completely different person" ever since she had moved to the Dominican Republic.
Taylen said he viewed Daniele like a mentor and she's the most mature woman that he's ever been with. Taylen said Daniele guided him spiritually and they became friends. He wanted to see her happy, and Daniele wished Yohan wouldn't view Taylen as such a threat.
"I thought Yohan was better than this, that he was more mature and more secure than this," Daniele complained in a confessional. "He's really pissed I'm sitting down with someone I had a relationship with."
Taylen therefore wasn't sure if Yohan was the right guy for his good friend.
Daniele said over the last 48 hours, she had seen a version of her husband that she didn't like and didn't want to live with. She was afraid this is the person he really was and that he was hiding this side of himself from her for a year.
