I DON'T WANT TO SEE HIM AGAIN.
I AM SICK OF HIS LYING
AND HIS BULL [BLEEP]
MY MOM STILL DOESN'T KNOW
I'M MOVING TO SYRIA WITH OMAR
IN A FEW MONTHS.
MY FEAR IS THAT AVERY WOULD
TRY TO RUN OFF WITH YOU.
I REALLY COULDN'T
LET THAT HAPPEN.
Teri: IF OMAR TAKES HER
TO ANOTHER COUNTRY,
I WOULD FIGHT IT TOOTH AND NAIL.

Rebecca: IT'S DEFINITELY
A CULTURE SHOCK
TO SEE HOW THEY LIVE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY DO IT.
IT'S CROSSED MY MIND THAT
ZIED WANTS TO MOVE TO AMERICA

ON THE PRIZE.
Tom:
I NEED TO SETTLE DOWN.
I'M HOPING THAT DARCEY'S
THAT PERSON,
BUT I DON'T WANT
TO RUSH INTO IT.
I GOT A TEXT...
I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU CARE,

MARIA'S SUPPOSED TO BE HERE
IN MEXICO WITH ME RIGHT NOW,
BUT HER RESERVATION
WAS CANCELED.
DON'T TRY TO SWINDLE ME
BECAUSE I LIKE CAKE.
IT AIN'T HAPPENING.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE,
MICHAEL?
THIS IS FOR YOU.
THAT'S NOT GONNA WORK
THIS TIME.
Rebecca: I'M KEEPING A HUGE
SECRET FROM ZIED.
I'M STILL MARRIED TO MY EX.
WHAT'D YOUR BROTHER SAY
LAST NIGHT?
Benjamin: I'M STILL NOT CERTAIN
WHAT HAPPENED.
I AM REALLY STARTING TO DOUBT
MY RELATIONSHIP WITH AKINYI.
OH, MY GOD. HEY.
Tom: DON'T WORRY.
I DON'T MIND
THAT I'VE BEEN SAT HERE
FOR, LIKE, NINE HOURS
WAITING.
I'M STARTING TO FEEL THAT COMING
TO ALBANIA WAS A BIG MISTAKE.
DO YOU HAVE FEELINGS
FOR HER?
I MEAN...
I FEEL BETRAYED.
HE MAY NOT BE THE MAN I THOUGHT.
HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT
THAT HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN
USING YOU FOR A VISA?
JUST BECAUSE HE'S SYRIAN
DOES NOT MEAN HE'S USING ME.

I WANT MY FUTURE TO GO.

GOING TO TRY BETTER
TO BE HONEST WITH ME?
BABY, I PROMISE YOU.
I'M REALLY SORRY.
SERIOUSLY.
TODAY, I REALLY JUST WANT
TO HAVE A GOOD DAY WITH VIOLET,
TRY TO HAVE A GOOD DAY
AS A FAMILY,
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
OKAY.

YEAH, YEAH.
Darcey: DID YOU GUYS
COME HERE TO PROPOSE?
-YEAH.
-YEAH.
Tom: YOU CAN SEE
WHY YOU'D WANT TO
BECAUSE IT JUST REALLY
IS STUNNING.
IT'S REALLY NICE TO SEE TOM
FINALLY RELAX
AND FEEL THE ROMANCE.
I MEAN, TOM JUST MADE
THIS COMMENT
ABOUT PROPOSING
AT THE BRIDGE.
I MEAN, IF HE PROPOSES,
I WOULD SAY YES.
-WHERE WE GOING?
-YOU JUMPING DOWN?
COME.
BABY, YOU GONNA
GET ME DOWN?
GOT ME?
OH, MY GOD.
-OH, OH, OH.
-WHOO.
OH, YOU'RE SO TALL, BABE.
I'M A SHORTY.
JUST JUMP.
OH, GOD.
Stacey: YOUR CHEEKS
ARE POPPING OUT.
THANK YOU, BABE.
-YEAH.
-FIX YOUR HAIR.
LET ME FIX YOURS.
COME ON, GOT TO TAME THAT FRIZZ.
I KNOW.
WHY'D YOU DO YOUR HAIR UP
LIKE THAT?
IT LOOKS LIKE A POMPOM.
-IT'S ALL RIGHT. ALL GOOD.
-LIKE A RAT'S NEST.
I'M ALL GOOD.
WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF.
THERE WE GO.
STACEY AND I'S RELATIONSHIP
IS VERY UNIQUE.
WE HAVE A LOT OF SIMILARITIES,
BUT DEFINITELY
A LOT OF DIFFERENCES.
STACEY AND I ARE
EACH OTHER'S BEST FRIENDS,
BUT SOMETIMES WE'RE
EACH OTHER'S WORST ENEMIES.
FRENEMIES.
ARE WE READY?
I DON'T WANT TO BE
THE SHORT TWIN.
[BLEEP]
WHOO, YEAH.
ALL RIGHT.
THAT'S RIGHT.
-THAT'S CUTE.
PERFECT.
THAT'S THE SHOT. YAY.
I DON'T THINK
WE'RE JEALOUS OF EACH OTHER.
I JUST THINK IT'S, YOU KNOW,
ONE HAVING TO DO IT UP
A LITTLE BIT MORE
THAN THE OTHER.
Tom: SO WHEN
YOU GUYS GET MARRIED,
ARE YOU GONNA GET
MARRIED HERE IN ALBANIA
OR ARE YOU GOING
TO GO TO THE STATES?
Stacey: OH, I THINK WE'LL DO
BOTH, YOU KNOW.
I THINK RIGHT NOW,
IT MAKES MORE SENSE
TO PROBABLY HAVE
A WEDDING HERE FIRST.
YOU KNOW,
KEEP IT SMALL AND INTIMATE.
I DON'T NEED A BIG, BIG,
YOU KNOW, CELEBRATION.
THAT'S GREAT, YOU KNOW.
DO IT...
HOW YOU WANT IT.
I WILL, I ALWAYS WILL.
LET HER HAVE HER
WHITE-DRESS MOMENT.
I WANT MY OWN.
YOU KNOW,
WHEN IT'S YOUR TIME.
SO WHAT'S YOUR DREAM
WEDDING, TOM?
UM...
I HAVEN'T REALLY SPENT
THAT MUCH TIME THINKING
ABOUT BEING MARRIED.
I'M NOT SURE ABOUT DARCEY
AND TOM'S CONNECTION JUST YET,
BUT I THINK HE CAN SENSE
THAT SHE WANTS SOMETHING MORE,
AND IT'S SCARING HIM AWAY.
I JUST WANT TO SEE HER HAPPY
AND NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES.
SHE WANTS THAT FAIRY-TALE LIFE.
BUT I JUST FEEL LIKE SHE'S GOING
ABOUT IT THE WRONG WAY.
STAY POSITIVE.
IT'S ALL YOU CAN DO.
JUST LIVE IN THE MOMENT.
I'M HAPPY YOU'RE ENGAGED.
IT'S A BLESSING.
WELL, I KNOW
THAT'S WHAT YOU SAY,
BUT IT KIND OF COMES OFF,
YOU KNOW, A LITTLE...
DO YOU REALLY
WANT ME HAPPY, DARCE?
I DON'T KNOW.
I WAS THINKING OF THE SAME THING
ABOUT YOU.
I'VE BEEN ENGAGED
FOR THREE AND A HALF YEARS.
LIKE, LET ME ENJOY THE MOMENT.
LET ME DO ME
AND NOT, YOU KNOW,
ALWAYS HAVE TO ONE UP
OR WHATEVER. IT'S JUST...
I'M NOT TRYING TO.
I JUST WANT YOU
TO HAVE
WHAT YOU'VE ALWAYS WANTED.
Tom: THE TIT FOR TAT, WHICH
SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING
BETWEEN STACEY AND DARCEY
ISN'T REALLY WHERE I'VE THOUGHT
I'D FIND MYSELF, BUT I HAVE.
I'M ACTUALLY FINDING IT
QUITE DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH.
IT'S A ROMANTIC SETTING.
SORRY.
NOT THE TIME OR PLACE RIGHT NOW.
IT'S LIKE A ROMANTIC MOMENT
AND I FEEL LIKE,
YOU KNOW,
DON'T WANT TO RUIN IT
FOR THE GUYS.
YEAH.
IT'S JUST
HE CHOSE TO COME HERE
FOR ME AND YOU GUYS.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE
HE'S ENJOYING HIMSELF
BECAUSE IT'S VERY IMPORTANT...
-YEAH. FOR ME, TOO.
...FOR ME TO HAVE THIS
EXPERIENCE WITH HIM
IN A POSITIVE WAY,
TOO, STACE.
Stacey: OKAY.
YEAH, I KNOW.
AND WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE IT
HAPPY AND POSITIVE, YOU KNOW?
RELAX.
IT'S ALL GOOD.
HE'S SEEING THINGS THAT I DON'T
WANT HIM TO SEE,
AND IT'S NOT GOOD.
I DON'T WANT HIM
TO JUDGE ME ON STACEY
AND I'S DEMEANOR TOGETHER.
I'M WORRIED.
I JUST HOPE TOM CAN LOOK PAST
TODAY AND FOCUS ON OUR FUTURE.

Rebecca:
LAST NIGHT I MET ZIED'S SISTER,
BUT I DON'T THINK
THE NIGHT WENT WELL.
OH, MY GOSH, BABY.
YES.
ZIED, THIS IS BEAUTIFUL.
MY GOAL IS TO GET ENGAGED
AND BRING ZIED BACK TO AMERICA,
BUT I'VE GOT SO MANY WORRIES
CONSIDERING HOW HIS SISTER FEELS
AND HIS PARENTS' DOUBTS
ABOUT ME.
[ SPEAKS
NATIVE LANGUAGE ]
SO I'M HAVING DOUBTS
ABOUT THE STRENGTH
OF OUR RELATIONSHIP RIGHT NOW.
I WANT TO TALK TO YOU
ABOUT SOMETHING.
I'VE NEVER LOVED ANYONE
THE WAY THAT I LOVE YOU.
AND, LIKE,
WHEN I MEET YOU ONLINE
AND I FALL
IN LOVE WITH YOU,
I DON'T THINK ABOUT
YOUR FAMILY NOT ACCEPTING ME,
BUT THERE
IS A LOT ABOUT ME
THAT -- THAT THEY WISH
WAS DIFFERENT.
AND ONCE
I GO BACK TO AMERICA
AND WE START
THIS VISA PROCESS,
I'M WORRIED THAT YOU TALK
TO YOUR SISTER
AND SHE TELL YOU,
"YOU KNOW WHAT?
THIS IS NOT GOOD.
YOU NEED TO STAY IN TUNISIA."
THIS SOMETHING NEW
FOR MY FAMILY.
NO MATTER WHAT.
IT DOESN'T MATTER
WHAT I TELL YOU
OR WHAT YOU KNOW
ABOUT ME.
ALL HE KEEPS SAYING
IS "I LOVE YOU NO MATTER WHAT."
AND THE MORE HE'S SAYING THIS,
THE MORE I REALIZE,
"LOOK, YOU KNOW WHAT?
YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW ME."
YOU KNOW, WE'VE ONLY BEEN
TOGETHER
LESS THAN TWO WEEKS.
THERE'S STILL A LOT
ABOUT ME YOU DON'T KNOW.
THERE ARE THINGS THAT
MAY MAKE YOU NOT HAPPY.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW
EVERYTHING IN MY PAST,
IN MY HISTORY
AND STILL LOVE ME.
THE BIG THING THAT
I'M KEEPING FROM ZIED RIGHT NOW
IS THE FACT THAT I'M STILL
TECHNICALLY MARRIED TO MY EX,
BUT THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE THAT
I'VE BEEN KEEPING ABOUT MY PAST.
IT'S SOMETHING FORBIDDEN
IN ZIED'S CULTURE,
AND I'M JUST REALLY SCARED
OF HOW HE'S GONNA REACT.
I JUST HAVE SOMETHING IMPORTANT
THAT I WANT TO TELL YOU
AND MAKE SURE
YOU STILL LOVE ME.
I HAD A RELATIONSHIP
WITH A WOMAN.
WHAT?

I JUST HAVE
SOMETHING IMPORTANT
THAT I WANT TO TELL YOU
AND MAKE SURE
YOU STILL LOVE ME.
I HAD A RELATIONSHIP
WITH A WOMAN.
WHAT?
I WAS WITH A WOMAN...
IN A RELATIONSHIP.
LIKE, I DON'T WANT TO BE
WITH WOMEN NOW.
THAT WAS JUST SOMETHING
THAT I DID A LONG TIME AGO.
DOES THIS
MAKE YOU ANGRY?
I DON'T KNOW.
Rebecca: I NEVER SEARCHED OUT
A RELATIONSHIP WITH A WOMAN.
I HAD BEEN IN, LIKE, TWO REALLY
BAD RELATIONSHIPS WITH MEN.
IT WAS SOMETHING
THAT I TRIED OUT,
BUT THE REASON THAT I SUDDENLY
KIND OF BROUGHT THIS UP
WAS IF HE'S GONNA MAKE
A DECISION TO LEAVE ME,
I WANT TO KNOW THIS BEFORE
WE GO THROUGH THE VISA PROCESS.
I WANT TO FEEL LIKE YOU KNOW
EVERYTHING ABOUT ME
AND STILL LOVE ME.
ANGRY, SO MUCH.
I DON'T WANT YOU
TO JUDGE ME.
I DON'T WANT YOU TO MAKE ME
FEEL BAD ABOUT MYSELF
BECAUSE OF THIS.
YES.
OF COURSE NOT.
OKAY.
LET'S NOT LET YOUR PARENTS
KNOW WHO I AM.
THIS IS NO GOOD HERE
IN THE COUNTRY ARABIC
BECAUSE I AM MUSLIM.
NOT MY TIME.
[ CLICKS TONGUE ]
IT'S OKAY NOW.
I JUST DON'T WANT YOU
TO BE ANGRY WITH ME.
BUT YOU'RE DIFFERENT NOW.
I NOT KNOW YOU THIS TIME.
IT'S YOUR LIFE.

Rebecca: I WANT DESPERATELY
TO BELIEVE
THAT HE'S OKAY WITH IT,
LIKE HE SAYS,
UM, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT
RIGHT NOW.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE'RE STRONG ENOUGH
AND NOT LET OUR FAMILIES
MAKE US NOT WANT
TO BE TOGETHER.
HE TELLS ME THAT HE LOVES ME
SO MUCH,
BUT I'M WORRIED THAT TRYING
TO TELL HIM THAT
I'M ALSO TECHNICALLY
STILL MARRIED WOULD BE TOO MUCH.
I JUST KNOW THAT I HAVE TO FIND
THE RIGHT TIME AND DO IT SOON.
NEXT TIME ON
"BEFORE THE 90 DAYS"...

IF I DON'T IMPRESS HIM,
I DON'T IMPRESS JENIFFER.

Avery: MY MOM CAME ALL THE WAY
FROM THE U.S. TO LEBANON
TO SEE ME GET MARRIED AND NOW
THAT MIGHT NOT EVEN HAPPEN.
PEOPLE THAT LOVE EACH OTHER
DON'T TREAT PEOPLE LIKE THIS.

Angela: THIS TRUST ISSUE,
IT MAKES ME QUESTION EVERYTHING
ABOUT OUR RELATIONSHIP.
SOMETHING'S GOT TO GIVE

A LITTLE BIT OF SPACE?
