Avery: PREVIOUSLY
ON "BEFORE THE 90 DAYS"...

Teri: WHAT IF HE GOES
AND APPLIES FOR A VISA

TO BE IMMEDIATELY DENIED?

YOU'RE STILL COMING HOME
100%?

YEAH, WE'LL GET IT
FIGURED OUT.

AFTER I GET MARRIED,
I'M GONNA COME BACK TO THE U.S.,

BUT I HAVEN'T TOLD MY MOM,
EVENTUALLY, I'M MOVING TO SYRIA.

AKINYI HAS NEVER DATED
A WHITE GUY.

SO, IS OUR BEDROOM NICE?



YOURROOM IS BEAUTIFUL.

I THOUGHT WE WERE IN A DIFFERENT
PLACE IN OUR RELATIONSHIP.

I HOPE HE LIKES ME.

Rebecca: I'M WORRIED.
DOES HE HAVE ISSUES WITH TRUST?

I DON'T WANT TO MAKE THE SAME
MISTAKE THAT I MADE BEFORE.

Timothy: JENIFFER WAS UPSET
ABOUT THE PICTURE

THAT I TOOK WITH MY EX-FIANCéE,
VERONICA.

I HAVEN'T BEEN 100% HONEST WITH
JENIFFER ABOUT OUR RELATIONSHIP.

AWW.

IT'S HER MOTHER'S BIRTHDAY,

AND SHE WANTS TO GO
IN TWO WEEKS.

WHAT THE [BLEEP]?

I CAN'T BELIEVE MARIA
IS POSTPONING ON ME AGAIN.

SHE'S BREAKING MY HEART
RIGHT NOW.



♪♪

Rebecca: AND COMING UP...

I'M NOT LIKING THIS SIDE
OF ZIED.

I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM
LIKE THIS.

HE'S GOING TO HIT THIS MAN.

Caesar:
I'M ABOUT TO GET ON A PLANE,

AND I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM MARIA
IN THREE DAYS,

BUT I DO BELIEVE
THAT SHE'LL BE THERE.

♪♪

I WOULDN'T WANT TO BE PRESSURED
INTO BEING A MOM.

YOU KNOW, I KIND OF FELT LIKE
I WAS BABYSITTING

A LITTLE AT THIS POINT.

I WAS LOOKING UP
"MUSLIM WIFE."

"IF THEY ARE GUILTY
OF OPEN LEWDNESS,

THEN REFUSE TO SHARE
THEIR BEDS AND HIT THEM."

YOU DON'T PLAN ON HITTING
MY DAUGHTER, DO YOU?

YOU BETTER NOT HIT ME.

♪♪

Timothy:
VERONICA CALLED ME.

YOU WANT ME TO BE FRIEND
OF MY EXES, TOO?

AND THEY CALL ME AND TELL ME,
"DID YOU EAT?"

[BLEEP]
SHE YOUR WIFE OR WHAT?

-IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL TODAY.
-YES.

Rebecca: I'VE BEEN IN TUNISIA
FOR A FEW DAYS.

I CAME HERE TO MEET
MY 26-YEAR-OLD BOYFRIEND,

ZIED, FOR THE FIRST TIME.

ZIED AND I MET ON FACEBOOK.

AND BEING WITH HIM IN PERSON,
IT'S BEEN AMAZING.

♪♪

TODAY, I'M GONNA MEET
ZIED'S FRIENDS.

THEY HAVE A SOCCER GAME.

I'LL BE YOUR CHEERLEADER
ON THE SIDELINES.

YES. [ CHUCKLES ]

"ZIED! ZIED!"
LIKE THIS.

[ LAUGHS ]

YES, GOOD.

YES.

SO BEAUTIFUL.

[ LAUGHS ]

THERE'S STILL SO MUCH
THAT I HAVE TO LEARN ABOUT ZIED,

SO I'M HOPING THAT MEETING
HIS FRIENDS

WILL GIVE ME SOME INSIGHT
ABOUT WHAT KIND OF PERSON HE IS.

YOU KNOW, I'M ONLY GONNA BE
WITH HIM FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS,

AND I HOPE
TO LEAVE HERE ENGAGED.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

BUT I'M NERVOUS TO MEET
HIS FRIENDS

BECAUSE WHAT
IF THEY DON'T ACCEPT ME?

WHAT IF THEY THINK
I'M TOO OLD FOR HIM?

WHAT IF THEY, YOU KNOW,
SAY SOMETHING TO HIM

THAT CHANGES
HOW HE FEELS ABOUT ME?

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

ZIED. ZIED.

-YES?
-WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

DO YOU WANT TO INTRODUCE ME
TO YOUR FRIENDS?

YES. OKAY.

-HI. HOW ARE YOU?
-HI.

I'M 47 YEARS OLD.

-REALLY?
-[ CHUCKLES ]

I'M OLD.

[ LAUGHTER ]

I'M SUPER UNCOMFORTABLE
WITH THE FACT THAT HIS FRIENDS

ARE ASKING ME HOW OLD I AM.

IN AMERICA, A YOUNG MAN
WOULD NEVER ASK A WOMAN HER AGE,

SO I WASN'T PREPARED
FOR THEM TO ASK ME.

TAKE MY SHIRT OFF.

I HAVE A LOT OF TATTOOS.

-WOW.
-THEY GO ALL THE WAY UP.

TATTOOS ARE NOT VERY COMMON
IN TUNISIA.

AND, FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND,
WOMEN THERE DO NOT GET TATTOOS.

LIKE, ONE ARM
IS MAYBE $3,000.

YEAH.

[ LAUGHTER ]

[ LAUGHTER ]

♪♪

Rebecca: THE AGE GAP IS REALLY
WEIGHING ON ME RIGHT NOW.

HOW DIFFERENT I AM,
MY TATTOOS, MY MONEY.

WHEN IT'S JUST HE AND I,
IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME,

BUT BEING AROUND A WHOLE GROUP
OF MEN THAT ARE HIS AGE,

I FEEL OLDER.

AND DESPITE EVERYTHING
THAT I'VE LEARNED SO FAR,

THERE'S STILL SO MUCH
THAT I NEED TO LEARN ABOUT ZIED.

Timothy: I'M ON MY WAY
TO BUCARAMANGA, COLUMBIA,

TO MEET MY GIRLFRIEND, JENIFFER,
FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER,

AND I CANNOT
GET THERE SOON ENOUGH.

I'VE BEEN TRAVELING
FOR THE LAST 10 HOURS,

AND I'M FINALLY BOARDING
MY FINAL FLIGHT.

I DIDN'T GET ANY SLEEP
LAST NIGHT, SO...

I DON'T WANT TO LOOK TIRED,

SO I'M GONNA TRY TO WEAR THESE,
MY MAGIC PADS FOR THIS FLIGHT.

AND HOPEFULLY, WHEN I SEE HER,

I'LL LOOK AS REFRESHED
AS POSSIBLE.

♪♪

I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS.

I WANT TO WIN JENIFFER OVER
AND TO SHOW HER

THAT I'M A GOOD MAN
AND THAT, YOU KNOW,

I'M SOMEBODY SHE WANTS SO SPEND
THE REST OF HER LIFE WITH.

50-, 55-MINUTE FLIGHT,

AND THEN, YEAH, I'M GONNA MEET
JENIFFER, FINALLY...

AFTER EIGHT LONG MONTHS.

I WANT TO PROPOSE TO HER,

BUT I NEED TO BE
ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN

THAT WE'RE RIGHT FOR EACH OTHER,

BECAUSE MY FAMILY RIGHT NOW
IS MY EX, VERONICA,

AND HER DAUGHTER, CHLOE.

WHAT IF SHE CAN'T ACCEPT IT?

MY WHOLE LIFE COULD CHANGE.

♪♪

MY NAME IS JENIFFER.

I AM BUCARAMANGA, COLUMBIA,
AND I AM 25 YEARS OLD.

I EXERCISE EVERY DAY.

ALL THE MANS IN MY FAMILY
ALWAYS BOX,

A LEGACY FOR ME.

DOING EXERCISE, IT HELP ME TO
BE MORE INDEPENDENT AND STRONG.

[ LAUGHS ]

I ENJOY MODELING
BECAUSE IT'S VERY FUN,

AND I LIKE
THE ATTENTION, YES.

WHO DOESN'T? [ CHUCKLES ]

ANY MAN THAT I CHOOSE
SHOULD FEEL VERY LUCKY ABOUT IT.

I WANT TO MEET A GOOD MAN WHO
KNOWS HOW TO TREAT A WOMAN.

SO I WENT ON AN INTERNATIONAL
DATING WEBSITE,

AND THAT'S HOW I MET HIM.

SO THEY CAN HAVE A GOOD
LIFESTYLE, WHICH I LIKE.

AND TIM IS A HARD WORKER,

SO I CAN FEEL THERE IS
AN ATTRACTION WITH HIM.

YEAH. RRRRRRRRRR!

[ LAUGHS ]

MOST OF ALL, I LOVE
THAT TIM IS A FAMILY MAN.

THAT'S SO IMPORTANT TO ME
BECAUSE I AM A MOM.

AND SHE'S ONE YEAR AND A HALF.

I ALREADY BEEN MARRIED ONE TIME.

WE WERE FIGHTING A LOT.

HE WAS A TERRIBLE HUSBAND.

I HOPE TIM WILL BE BETTER

AND A VERY GOOD FATHER
FIGURE TO MY DAUGHTER.

♪♪

SO, I'VE BEEN TELLING TO
MY FRIENDS A LOT ABOUT TIM.

THEY WANT TO KNOW IF HE REALLY
HAS A GOOD INTENTIONS WITH ME.

WOW.

A KEEPER.

OH, MY GOD.

[ GASPS ]

I'M FEELING THAT
HE MAY HAVE SECRETS.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND YET
ALL THE VERONICA SITUATION.

HE'S ALWAYS LIKE, BRINGING THAT
TO HIS PRESENT LIFE,

AND I DON'T GET IT.
SO I WANT TO KNOW ALL THE TRUTH.

IF NOT, I WILL HAVE TO SAY,

"NEXT. NO, THANK YOU.
SORRY.

GOODBYE, TIM."

[ LAUGHS ]

Benjamin: IF AKINYI CHOSE
THAT SHE WOULDN'T WANT TO BE

A STEPPARENT TO MY SON,
IT WOULD BE A DEAL-BREAKER.

THERE'S SO MUCH ON THE LINE.
IT'S KIND OF HITTING ME.

I THINK A LOT OF WOMEN IN THIS
WORLD NEED THAT CONFIDENCE.

Tom: DARCEY IS A VERY
EMOTIONAL PERSON.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT I DON'T
PARTICULARLY FIND ATTRACTIVE.

OH, IT'S WET OVER HERE, BUDDY.
LET'S COME BACK OVER HERE, OKAY?

OKAY.

THERE'S JUST A FEW HOURS LEFT

BEFORE I LEAVE FOR AFRICA
TO MEET AKINYI.

AKINYI IS MY KENYAN GIRLFRIEND.

SHE'S 26.

WE MET ONLINE.

WE'RE MEETING IN PERSON
FOR THE FIRST TIME.

AND IF SHE'S WHO I THINK SHE IS,
I WANT TO PROPOSE.

GOOD JOB!

I'M GOING TO SPEND TIME
WITH MY 5-YEAR-OLD SON,

GRAYSON, FOR THE LAST TIME
BEFORE I HEAD OUT TO AFRICA.

FLOWERS, ROCKS,
AND WE FOUND OUR WAY OUT!

AND WE FOUND OUT WAY OUT!

I'VE NEVER REALLY BEEN AWAY
FROM MY SON.

THIS WILL DEFINITELY
BE A TOUGH ADJUSTMENT.

SO, I'M GONNA LEAVE
FOR A LITTLE BIT.

I'M GONNA GO TO KENYA.

WHY?

I'M GONNA GO MEET A FRIEND.

NO.

NOT THIS TIME.

[ SIGHS ] WHA...

AT THIS POINT, I'VE CHOSEN
NOT TO TELL GRAYSON

ABOUT MY RELATIONSHIP
WITH AKINYI.

IF THINGS DON'T WORK OUT,

IT WOULD MEAN
HURT FEELINGS FOR GRAYSON.

AND I DON'T WANT TO BRING
PEOPLE INTO HIS LIFE

WHO MIGHT ALL OF
A SUDDEN DISAPPEAR.

DO YOU KNOW WHERE KENYA IS?

MNH-MNH.

SO, IT'S AROUND THE GLOBE.

YOU WANT TO SEE
A PICTURE?

YEAH.

THEY HAVE TIGERS
AND ELEPHANTS.

YEAH. THAT'S RIGHT.
THEY DO.

ARE YOU GONNA MISS ME
WHILE I'M GONE?

-YEAH.
-YEAH.

-I WILL.
-I'M GONNA MISS YOU.

I AM GONNA MISS YOU.

WELL, I'LL GIVE YOU
A KISS.

YOU'LL GIVE ME A KISS?

OKAY, CAN I HAVE A BIG HUG?

[ GRUNTS ]

[ GRUNTS ]

AKINYI DOESN'T HAVE ANY KIDS,

SO I HOPE THE IDEA OF AKINYI

BECOMING A STEPMOTHER
ISN'T TOO MUCH FOR HER.

IF AKINYI CHOSE THAT SHE

Samuel:

OHH.

I'M REALLY EXCITED/NERVOUS.

SO, JUST HER?

NOBODY ELSE IS COMING WITH HER
TO THE AIRPORT TO PICK YOU UP?

IT'S JUST GONNA BE ME
AND AKINYI.

AKINYI WILL BE MEETING ME
AT THE AIRPORT,

AND AFTER WE SPEND
A FEW DAYS ALONE,

SHE'LL BE TAKING ME
TO MEET HER FAMILY.

IN HER CULTURE, THAT MEANS
THAT SHE'S READY FOR MARRIAGE.

BUT I WANT TO GET TO KNOW HER
MORE BEFORE I DECIDE TO PROPOSE.

AND ALSO, IF I PROPOSE,

I WOULD HAVE TO PAY
THE BRIDE PRICE

FOR AKINYI'S HAND IN MARRIAGE,

BUT IF AKINYI'S FATHER
ASKS FOR A BRIDE PRICE

THAT I CAN'T PROVIDE,

IT'S A POSSIBILITY THAT

THAT COULD END OUR RELATIONSHIP.

I'LL SEE YOU IN A WHILE,

I LOVE YOU.

I'LL BE MORE EXCITED
WHEN MARIA GETS HERE,

SHE CAN'T SEND ME A MESSAGE

AND TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON.

YOU DID ALL THIS FOR ME?"

MARIA HASN'T TEXTED ME
BACK AT ALL YET.

MY LAST MESSAGE THAT I SENT HER,

TEXTED ME BACK YET.

MARIA IS SUPPOSED TO GET
ON HER FLIGHT TO MEXICO

IN 12 HOURS.

OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS,

THREE TIMES I'VE TRIED
TO GIVE HER A PLANE TICKET,

AND THEN NOTHING.

AND THIS TIME,
YOU KNOW, IT HAS TO BE.
