90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days (2017–…): Season 3, Episode 8 - True Colors - full transcript

PREVIOUSLY ON
"BEFORE THE 90 DAYS"...

A LONG TIME AGO, I WAS WITH
A WOMAN...IN A RELATIONSHIP.

♪♪

♪♪

I JUST WANT YOU HAPPY,
AND THAT'S ALL.

DO YOU REALLY WANT ME HAPPY,
DARCE? I DON'T KNOW.

I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING
ABOUT YOU.

Tom: THE TIT-FOR-TAT
BETWEEN STACEY AND DARCEY,

I'M ACTUALLY FINDING IT QUITE
DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH.

WE'D MAKE
A BEAUTIFUL BABY.

IT'S VERY FUNNY THAT TIM'S
TALKING ABOUT BABIES,



BUT HE HASN'T EVEN TRIED, LIKE,
TO EVEN TOUCH ME.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I COME TO GET AWAY FROM YOU.

I KNOW, I KNOW.

THAT'S NOT GONNA WORK
THIS TIME.

ME AND MICHAEL ARE DONE.

Teri: HE WAS LOOKING FOR
AN AMERICAN GIRL.

HE FOUND YOU TO GET A VISA.

JUST BECAUSE HE'S SYRIAN DOES
NOT MEAN HE'S USING ME.

SO -- SO DOES THAT MEAN
IT'S OVER?

IS THAT IT?
WAS IT OVER WHEN --

IT WAS JUST A GAME.
THAT'S ALL IT WAS.

JUST A BIG GAME.

♪♪

AND COMING UP...



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

DO YOU WANT TO CUT
HIS BALLS?

UGH!

PEOPLE THAT LOVE EACH OTHER
DON'T TREAT PEOPLE LIKE THIS.

THIS IS CONSTANT BATTLE.

THIS TRUST ISSUE WITH MICHAEL,
IT MAKES ME QUESTION EVERYTHING

ABOUT OUR RELATIONSHIP.

SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE,
OR I'M GONNA QUIT.

Okay. Well, I do have
the background check.

Something about
this whole situation

doesn't seem completely right
to me with him.

OKAY, GOT IT.

Darcey: THIS TRIP IS NOT GOING
AS PLANNED.

I'M STARTING TO RESENT
MY SISTER.

WHAT?

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.

♪♪

THAT DINNER FELT LIKE
A DAMN NIGHTMARE.

I-I JUST DON'T WANT TO
DO THIS ANYMORE.

THAT'S IT.

YOU THINK
THIS EYE SHADOW'S GOOD?

IT LOOKS PRETTY.

OKAY.

DID YOU GUYS EVER GET
AHOLD OF THE RELIGIOUS PERSON

TO FIND OUT WHAT TIME
YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED?

OMAR'S ACTUALLY WALKING
THERE RIGHT NOW,

GETTING
A CLEAR-CUT TIME.

SO, EVERYTHING
SHOULD BE FINE.

FIVE DAYS AGO, I CAME TO BEIRUT
TO MEET THE LOVE OF MY LIFE

FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND TODAY
WE'RE GETTING MARRIED.

WOW.

VERY EXCITED.

AND IT MIGHT SEEM A LITTLE BIT
CRAZY TO SOME PEOPLE,

BUT I DON'T CARE
WHAT ANYBODY THINKS.

HE'S MY BEST FRIEND,
HE'S MY SOUL MATE,

AND I LOVE HIM SO MUCH,

SO I WANT TO MARRY HIM
WHEN I WANT TO.

ONCE YOU GET
YOUR MAKEUP ON,

YOU WANT TO START
GETTING YOUR DRESS ON?

YEP.
AND MY HIJAB.

BUT LAST NIGHT, ME AND MY MOM
GOT INTO A HUGE FIGHT

BECAUSE SHE TRIED TELLING ME
I SHOULDN'T MARRY OMAR.

SIT DOWN AND TALK TO ME
FOR A SECOND.

OKAY.
OKAY. WHAT'S UP?

I KNOW LAST NIGHT I SAID
A LOT OF THINGS TO YOU,

AND I WAS PRETTY TOUGH
ON YOU.

MM-HMM.

AND...

...I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I
WANT THINGS TO WORK OUT FOR YOU.

THANK YOU.

BUT I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE
THAT YOU, YOU KNOW,

KNEW --
KNEW THE CONCERNS.

YOU'RE MY PRIORITY,
SO I JUST HAD TO...

WELL, OMAR'S
MY PRIORITY NOW.

HE'S MY HUSBAND.

PEOPLE TRY TO BASH HIM.

I'M NOT GOING TO
LET THEM.

AVERY, I DON'T THINK YOU
UNDERSTAND --

I DO UNDERSTAND, AND I'M JUST
TRYING TO STAY POSITIVE.

I'M NOT TRYING TO WORRY ABOUT
THE NEGATIVES TODAY.

♪♪

MY WORST FEAR STILL
IS THAT OMAR IS USING HER

JUST TO COME
TO THE UNITED STATES.

BUT AVERY WANTS TO MARRY OMAR.

SHE'S A GROWN WOMAN.
SHE'S GONNA DO IT REGARDLESS.

I EITHER SUPPORT HER OR I DON'T.

WHAT MOTHER DOESN'T WANT TO BE

A PART OF THEIR DAUGHTER'S
WEDDING?

I'VE ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR HER,

AND I DON'T INTEND TO CHANGE
THAT NOW.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

IS THAT OMAR?

[ DOOR OPENS ]

-HI.
-HI, BABE.

HEY, BABY.

WHAT?

♪♪

I'M REALLY PISSED OFF.

MY MOM CAME ALL THE WAY TO
LEBANON TO SEE ME GET MARRIED,

AND NOW THAT MIGHT NOT
EVEN HAPPEN.

♪♪

WOULD WE BE ABLE TO
STILL DO IT TODAY?

I DON'T KNOW.

♪♪

I TOLD THEM THAT --

LET'S GO TO ISLAMIC COURT
RIGHT NOW.

LET'S GO.
WHAT'S THE ADDRESS?

LET'S GO.
WE'LL GET A TAXI.

YEP. I CAN DO THAT.

OKAY, OKAY.
LET'S GO.

OMAR, DO YOU KNOW
THE BUSINESS HOURS?

I DON'T KNOW.

Teri: 4:00 P.M.?

I THINK.

SO, THIS IS THE ONE TIME
I WANT HIM TO DRIVE CRAZY.

FAST, CRAZY.

WE'RE TRYING TO
GET MARRIED TODAY.

OMAR AND I STILL HAVE FIVE
NIGHTS IN LEBANON,

WHICH IS PLENTY OF TIME
TO GET MARRIED,

BUT MY MOM IS LEAVING TONIGHT,

AND SHE REALLY, REALLY WANTED TO
SEE ME GET MARRIED.

SO, THE PLAN IS, WE'RE GRABBING
A TAXI TO THE ISLAMIC COURT,

GETTING PERMISSION,
AND THEN TAKE IT TO THE MOSQUE,

ALL WITHIN JUST A FEW HOURS.

THIS IS A TASK
THAT CAN TAKE DAYS.

[ HORN HONKS ]

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN
ISLAMIC COURT BEFORE?

-NO.
-NEVER?

[ HORN HONKS ]

I KNOW, BUT IT SHOULDN'T HAVE
BEEN YOUR FIRST TIME.

YOU SHOULD'VE ALREADY CAME DOWN
HERE IS WHAT I'M SAYING.

Avery:
MY MOM, SHE ALREADY DOUBTS OMAR.

AND I STILL HAVEN'T TOLD HER
THAT I'M PLANNING ON MOVING

TO SYRIA WHILE WE WAIT
ON OMAR'S VISA APPROVAL.

I DEFINITELY WANT TO TELL HER
IN PERSON WITH OMAR,

SO I HAVE TO TELL HER BEFORE
HER FLIGHT LEAVES TONIGHT.

BUT IT REALLY COULD RUIN
OUR RELATIONSHIP.

Darcey:
A LITTLE OVER A WEEK AGO,

I FLEW TO ENGLAND TO MEET
MY BOYFRIEND, TOM,

FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.

-ARE YOU GOOD?
-YEAH.

AFTER SPENDING TIME IN LONDON,
WE TOOK A SIDE TRIP TO ALBANIA

SO TOM COULD MEET
MY TWIN SISTER, STACEY,

AND I CAN MEET HER
ALBANIAN FIANCé, FLORIAN.

COZY?

AHH.

WHAT A CRAZY DAY.

BUT INSTEAD OF GETTING TO KNOW
EACH OTHER'S GUYS,

WE ENDED UP GETTING IN A TIFF.

Darcey:
I'M HAPPY YOU'RE ENGAGED.

IT'S A BLESSING.

WELL, DO YOU REALLY WANT ME
HAPPY, DARCE? I DON'T KNOW.

I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING
ABOUT YOU.

IT'S BEEN STRESSFUL TODAY.

IT'S BEEN SUCH A LONG DAY,
AND...

I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND STACEY AND
I's TIT-FOR-TATS GETS TO PEOPLE,

BUT...
-IT SETS A BAD TONE.

I UNDERSTAND. AND I'M SEEING
A LITTLE BIT FOR HER DEMEANOR

WITH FLORIAN
FOR THE FIRST TIME.

I THINK SHE'S TRYING TO PRY
FOR HIS ATTENTION

AND MAYBE SHOW ME --

IT'S NOT A COMPETITION.

I FEEL LIKE
SHE'S ACTING IMMATURE.

BUT I THINK YOU ARE, TOO.

I'M SORRY.
I APOLOGIZE.

FAMILIES ARGUE, OF COURSE,
BUT THE TIT-FOR-TAT

BETWEEN THE TWOS KIND OF --
YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY STARTING

TO SPOIL THE TIME THAT WE'RE
SHARING WITH DARCEY.

YOU NEED TO SIT WITH YOUR SISTER
AND SAY,

"IT'S MAKING
ME UNCOMFORTABLE."

"I'VE COME ALL THE WAY FROM
WHERE I LIVE

TO BE IN A PLACE THAT
I DIDN'T REALLY WANT TO BE,

AND I'M UNCOMFORTABLE."
-YEAH, I AGREE,

'CAUSE I DON'T WANT THAT,
EITHER.

-HAVE A SIT AND CHAT WITH HER...
-I'VE TRIED TO DO THAT.

...AND SAY, "WHATEVER
THIS IS BETWEEN US,

IT'S MAKING IT
UNCOMFORTABLE.

THOMAS IS MAKING IT
UNCOMFORTABLE FOR FLORIAN."

IT DOES MAKE OTHER PEOPLE FEEL
UNCOMFORTABLE, AND...

-I UNDERSTAND.

A LITTLE DIFFICULT, AND I FEEL

DID TOM SAY SOMETHING?

YEAH, HE SAID SOMETHING.

WHAT DID HE SAY?

I MEAN, I DIDN'T REALLY THINK
THAT WE HAD ANY...

WELL, I THINK IT'S OUR DEMEANOR
AND THE ENERGY.

NOTHING BAD HAPPENED.

I MEAN, WE'VE JUST ALL BEEN
TOGETHER, HAVING A GOOD TIME,

AND, YOU KNOW, MAYBE
SOME LITTLE COMMENTS

OR LITTLE EYE-ROLLS
HERE AND THERE, LIKE...

IT'S THE ATTITUDE THAT A LOT
OF GUYS DON'T LIKE,

AND IT RUBS PEOPLE THE WRONG
WAY, SO WE NEED TO WORK ON THAT.

HE ENDED UP TAKING ME ASIDE
AND SAYING,

"THIS AIN'T COOL,
AND I AIN'T GONNA HAVE IT."

-WOW.
-YEAH.

MAYBE HE'S USING
THE EXCUSE OF THE TWIN...

-POSSIBLY.
-...LITTLE TIT-FOR-TATS

OR WHATEVER BECAUSE
HE'S NOT FEELING IT.

HE'S NOT FEELING YOUR VIBE.
SO HE WANTS TO PUT IT ON US.

THINK HE'S JUST FINDING LITTLE
THINGS TO NITPICK ABOUT

AND JUST GET MAD
AT DARCEY ABOUT,

MAYBE 'CAUSE HE REALLY DOESN'T
SEE IT GOING ANYWHERE.

I'M KIND OF SEEING SHADES
OF JESSE, YOU KNOW,

WITH THIS NEW RELATIONSHIP.

JUST DON'T WANT HER TO,
YOU KNOW, END UP DISAPPOINTED.

ONCE AGAIN, IT'S LIKE...

YOU HAVE THIS PATTERN OF,
YOU KNOW,

ALWAYS FINDING PEOPLE THAT SAY
YOU'RE THE PROBLEM.

YOU KNOW, TAKE SOME ADVICE
FROM ME FOR ONCE.

IT'S GREAT AND ALL,

BUT I DON'T THINK
IT'S PERFECT.

YOU'RE TWO YEARS IN,
ENGAGED OR WHATEVER.

IS THAT REALLY
THE LIFE YOU WANT?

A LOT SLOWER THAN YOU, YOU KNOW?

THE FIRST TRIP.

AND WE'RE STILL ENGAGED.

I'VE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH [BLEEP]

WHO DOES THAT?

WHO GOES AND HAS A BABY
WITH SOMEONE ELSE?

AND BY THE WAY,
WHO'S GONNA RAISE IT?

'CAUSE I'M NOT.
IT DIDN'T COME OUT OF ME,

AND I DIDN'T HAVE FUN HAVING IT,

SO I'M NOT TAKING CARE OF
SOMEONE ELSE'S BABY.

NO, I'M NOT.

NO WAY.

THERE'S A LOT OF MARRIED COUPLES
IN THE UNITED STATES

THAT CAN'T HAVE BABIES,
AND THEY DON'T LEAVE THEIR WIVES

TO GO HAVE
SEX WITH OTHER WOMEN.

YOU KNOW, MAYBE GOD DON'T HAVE
THAT IN OUR PLANS FOR A BABY.

TELL HER I'M NOT,
EITHER.

Avery:
TODAY'S FINALLY OUR WEDDING DAY.

OMAR AND I WERE ABLE TO GET
EVERYTHING DONE

AND WERE ACTUALLY ABLE TO GET
MARRIED AT THE MOSQUE.

I'M SO EXCITED,
BUT MY MOM IS UPSET

BECAUSE SHE CAN'T BE
AN OFFICIAL WITNESS

BECAUSE ISLAMIC LAW, YOU EITHER
NEED ONE MAN OR TWO WOMEN.

BUT WE'RE DOING
A MUSLIM WEDDING,

SO WE'RE GONNA DO IT
THE MUSLIM WAY.

MY MOM'S GONNA
HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT.

YEAH, THANK YOU.

Teri:
I'M A LITTLE PERTURBED.

SHE DOESN'T GET ANY KIND OF
PARTICIPATION IN THE CEREMONY.

IT'S VERY CHAUVINISTIC.

AS A CHILD, WHEN I WOULD DREAM
OF MY WEDDING,

I DIDN'T, YOU KNOW,
DREAM OF SITTING IN A CHAIR

WHILE THE SHEIKH
AND MY HUSBAND, YOU KNOW,

DO THE VOWS TOGETHER.

BUT I AM A NEW PERSON.

I DID ACCEPT A NEW CULTURE
IN MY LIFE,

AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT COMES
ALONG WITH IT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

IT'S DONE?
YOU'RE MARRIED?

-YEAH.
-YES.

-OH.
-THAT'S MY HUSBAND.

[ LAUGHTER ]

I WANT TO GET A PICTURE
OF YOU GUYS.

IT'S VERY AMAZING BEING MARRIED.

AND ESPECIALLY
TO SUCH A GREAT GUY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.
MY NEW SON-IN-LAW.

YOU'RE HUNGRY.

OMAR, MY MOM, AND I,
WE'RE ALL GOING OUT

FOR A CELEBRATION DINNER.

I FEEL AMAZING.
I JUST MARRIED MY BEST FRIEND.

BUT I HAVE SOMETHING HUGE
I HAVE TO TELL MY MOM TONIGHT.

OKAY. MOM, IT'S YOUR LAST MEAL
IN LEBANON.

ARE YOU SAD?

I'M A LITTLE SAD,
BUT A LITTLE HAPPY, TOO.

'CAUSE YOU GET TO SEE
THE FAMILY.

YEAH.

I'M MOVING TO SYRIA WITH OMAR
IN A COUPLE MONTHS

WHILE WE WAIT
ON OMAR'S VISA APPROVAL.

I DON'T WANT TO TELL MY MOM.

I KNOW SHE'S GONNA FREAK OUT,
AND SHE'S LEAVING TONIGHT.

I DON'T WANT HER TO STRESS OUT
ON THE WHOLE FLIGHT HOME.

BUT THIS IS THE LAST CHANCE
WE GET TO TELL HER

WITH ME AND OMAR BEING TOGETHER,
SO I NEED TO TELL HER TONIGHT.

UM...

OH, YUM.

OH.

YOU KNOW THAT?

SPEAKING OF
TRAVELING BACK,

ARE YOU GONNA BE ABLE TO SEE
EACH OTHER

BEFORE YOU GET YOUR VISA?

YEAH,
I'M GONNA SEE HIM.

I'M GONNA SEE HIM,
UH, JUST IN...JULY?

YEAH.

IN JULY IN SYRIA?

YES.

HOW IS THAT GONNA HAPPEN?

I'M GONNA GO DOWN WITH HIS
SISTER, AND...I'M STAYING THERE.

LIKE, FOREVER?

-NO.

I'M MOVING THERE, BUT IT'S NOT
PLANNING ON STAYING FOREVER.

OH.

SO, DOES THAT SOUND
LIKE A GOOD IDEA TO YOU,

TO MOVE TO SOMEWHERE WHERE
IT'S OBVIOUSLY NOT SAFE?

WHERE YOU DON'T
SPEAK THE LANGUAGE,

SHE'S MY WIFE.

IF I HADN'T BEEN HERE, YOU GUYS
WOULDN'T EVEN BE MARRIED.

LIKE, YOU THINK YOU'RE
RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH

TO LIVE IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY,
AVERY?

YOU CAN'T EVEN GO TO THE ATM
WITHOUT HELP.

SHE CAN'T WORK,
SHE CAN'T TALK.

SHE'S JUST SUPPOSED TO BE
YOUR HOUSEWIFE?

WAS THIS YOUR PLAN
ALL ALONG?

MOM, DON'T BE TOO WORRIED.
