Below is what happened on Episode 18 of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days' seventh season on TLC.
JOE and MAGDA
Joe and Magda were shown packing for "The Magic Mountains" in Poland. Joe was excited for the trip, but he and Magda hadn't been intimate yet. He was also worried to tell his girlfriend that he had once dated his friend Jill.Joe was friends with Jill for about 15 years and they had dated seven years prior. Joe insisted Jill was truly just a friend and he needed her in his life, and so he hoped Magda would be understanding.
Magda, meanwhile, said things were going well with Joey but she wanted to hear, "I want you in Florida. I love you and I want to have a family with you."
When the pair sat in a romantic hot tub that evening, Joe realized his revelation about Jill could ruin their entire trip.
"I just hope it doesn't result in anything catastrophic," Joe told the 90 Day Fiance cameras.

Joe and Magda ended up having sex that night, and Magda said Joe was very gentle and it was great. Joe also boasted about how they both had stamina in the bedroom because they're athletes.
Magda hoped Joe would love her forever now that he knew they were sexually compatible, and Joe seemed very optimistic and couldn't wait to explore Poland more with Magda.
The day after they had sex, Joe shared how he and Jill had dated for a short time and then remained friends. Joe said it was a long time ago and he didn't think it was important enough to share earlier.
But Magda thought this was important information, and she complained, "You f-cked your friend!... I asked you if you had a past with any of your friends, and you said, 'No.'"
"I don't look at her like an ex-girlfriend, but I'm sorry," Joe replied. "That's it. There's nothing else [to tell]."
"I don't believe you," Magda snapped in reply.

Magda said Joe had promised her that he'd never lie to her again, but he failed. Magda therefore wondered if she should stay with Joe given she had only given him one more chance.

"You lied to me again! I don't trust you. I don't want to live my whole life and go to the U.S.A. for a person like you. I am done with this conversation. I don't want to speak to you and I won't go back home. This is enough for me," Magda told Joe.
Magda said she was pissed off because Joe had hidden this news for her. She was also upset he had waited until after they had sex to tell her the truth.
"I'm done," Magda snapped.
"I definitely regret not telling Magda about Jill sooner," Joe concluded.
"I'm really hoping at this point she'd know how committed I am. I feel horrible... I didn't think [her reaction] would be this bad. She doesn't even want to be with me anymore."
FAITH and LOREN
Faith had finally been feeling ready to move her relationship with Loren forward, but after meeting with an immigration lawyer and discussing the K-1 visa, Faith claimed that Loren's personality changed."He started acting weird, like a crazy man. I am overwhelmed with fear," Faith admitted to the 90 Day Fiance cameras.
Loren had smashed a can on his head and played with a butter knife, but Loren said he was just "fidgeting" and had no intention of scaring or upsetting Faith.
Faith had given Loren her engagement ring back, but Loren wasn't fighting for her. Loren said he respected whatever Faith wanted.
"If she wants to run off during our last night, I'm just going to let her. I am feeling hopeless and distraught at the whole idea of the K-1 visa anyway," Loren explained in a confessional.
"I am in no mood to deal with a fight during our last night together. I am kind of in shock about what just happened. Faith said she was afraid of me, but I would never hurt her -- ever... I just want [her] to be happy every single day."
After a trip filled with ups and downs, Faith said she didn't deserve it. Faith wondered if Loren was just using her to stay in the Philippines, and so she took off in a car and didn't look back.

"I wish I didn't get into this," Faith shared in a confessional, adding, "I'm ashamed of myself."
Faith, however, didn't know if she could find a man who would truly love her and not try to use her for something. She was extremely heartbroken about her breakup with Loren.
The next morning, Loren texted Faith and apologized for what he had done, but she apparently didn't answer. Loren was about to leave the Philippines without saying goodbye to Faith.
But Faith did answer his text, and she decided to meet up with him.
Loren apologized for all of his mistakes, or at least for how she had perceived things, and Faith explained how his weird behavior had scared her and it was too late for them now.
"It's over," Faith concluded.
Faith explained to the cameras that this was just not the relationship she wanted. She wanted to feel cared for and have complete trust in her partner.
Faith and Loren ended their relationship on good terms, but Faith admitted in tears that she felt sorry for herself and had regrets.

"It's heartbreaking. The life I had sought out for Faith and myself in the Philippines is gone," Loren lamented in a confessional.
"And there is nothing to go back to... I would've done anything for Faith. It hurts. But I think I really want Faith to know that she's a good person and I was the bad guy. I was the one who messed up."

VANJA and JOSKO
Vanja and Josko woke up in bed together in Croatia, but they didn't have sex.Vanja said she and Josko had very deep conversations and built emotional intimacy and so it didn't feel like the right time to be physically intimate as well.
Josko told Vanja that he'd like to visit her in the United States, and then Vanja pointed out how one of them would have to move in order to make their relationship work long-term. Josko suggested they could talk about that at a later date, and she agreed.
Josko didn't know if he'd be able to move to a different country because of his son and family, and so he admitted that was "difficult" to even think about at that point.
Vanja also didn't want to move to Croatia, but she acknowledged how Josko probably couldn't move to America with a baby. There were many moving parts Vanja and her new boyfriend had yet to figure out.
When Josko dropped Vanja off at the airport, she cried when saying goodbye to him. Josko assured her that they could "make it work" and they'd "find a way," and she thanked him for being so amazing.
The pair kissed and hugged each other at the airport, and Josko called Vanja "extraordinary" as tears streamed down her face.
Josko said he wished he and Vanja could've spent more time together and it was going to be hard to be apart from her. He was optimistic, however, that they could stay together and survive the distance between them.
Once Vanja returned to Orlando, they talked on the phone a couple of times a day. Three weeks later, the pair missed each other and so Josko decided to visit her in the U.S. and stay for 10 days.
Josko had told Vanja that he wanted to move to Orlando with his son and so the couple began visualizing living together as a couple -- including reorganizing her house and raising a child together.
Vanja said she was so comfortable with Josko and they finally broke her six-year, no-sex streak. Vanja said sex with Josko was magical and she couldn't wait for the future.

MATILDA and NILES
Niles and Matilda were about to have their knocking ceremony followed by their wedding.Niles said he felt ready to get married, but something was weighing on his mind. He didn't want to have to choose between his own happiness with Matilda and his parents' love and support.
Niles couldn't believe that his love for Matilda was insulting to his parents, who did not approve of the couple's relationship and apparently found Niles' decision to marry disrespectful.
Niles ended up paying the bride price, and then the community elder in Ghana, Mr. Arc, explained to Niles how he would have to penetrate Matilda vaginally, not through the anus, during sexual intercourse.
Niles laughed about how specific and direct Mr. Arc tended to be, and Niles said he had every intention of adhering to Matilda's customs and traditions.
The knocking ceremony was sensory overload for Niles, who has autism, and he briefly felt like he was "over his head." Niles' heart was pounding as people yelled and cheered, and he hoped he was doing the right thing since his parents weren't by his side.
However, the ceremony went well and Niles -- who announced to all the guests that Matilda was "The One" -- said he couldn't wait to make Matilda his wife.
Matilda, who was wearing an extremely tight corset, said Niles made her very happy and she was excited to change into her real wedding attire.
Niles didn't know what was going to happen when he brought Matilda to the United States, but he was confident that he and "Mrs. Valentine" were going to spend the rest of their lives together.
One hour after the knocking ceremony, Niles and Matilda planned to consummate their marriage -- and so they kicked the cameras out of their room.
VEAH and SUNNY
Sunny didn't know how to proceed in his relationship with Veah because, while he loved her and wanted to marry her, Veah was unwilling to convert to Islam and become Muslim.ADVERTISEMENT
Although religion could be a dealbreaker for their relationship, Sunny decided to enjoy the day with Veah and take her hiking to a beautiful waterfall.
After spending two weeks with Sunny, Veah said she could definitely see a future with him and so breaking up would be devastating.
Veah told the 90 Day Fiance cameras that what she had with Sunny was "special" and she didn't think she'd ever be able to find that with another man again.
Sunny said if Veah didn't change her religion, he'd have to sacrifice his family because they'd never accept her. Sunny had a big decision to make because he said he didn't want to lose Veah either.
"I'm just worried that all of the differences we have, it's just too much," Sunny said, adding how Veah had a kind heart and supported him always.
Sunny then explained to Veah that he'd lose everything that mattered to him in order to be with her.
"So what are you saying?" Veah asked.
Sunny said he didn't care what people were going to say and think, and that he loved her the way she was. Sunny was determined to stand up to critics and face his family head on in order to be with his love.
Sunny then asked Veah to be with him forever.
"I want to take this relationship to the next step. I want to go further," Sunny said.
Sunny asked Veah to close her eyes, and then he presented her with the engagement ring.

"I've thought about it, and yes!" Veah replied.
Veah seemed thrilled and hugged her new fiance. She thought the gesture was adorable, and Sunny gushed about how he was "so happy" he could be with Veah forever.
Veah then gushed about how Sunny was going to move to America to be with her.
Sunny wanted to keep his engagement a secret from his father, who didn't seem to like Veah when they had met before, but Veah wanted to be on good terms with his family before returning to the U.S.
Veah advised Sunny to be open and honest with his loved ones, but Sunny feared his father was going to get mad and "go crazy." Sunny just hoped his father would understand how much he and Veah loved each other.
