DARCEY and TOM
Darcey had been with Tom for two weeks, but they spent one of those weeks in Albania with Darcey's sister Stacey and Stacey's fiance Florian. Darcey and Tom were about to head back to England and visit Tom's hometown of Nottingham for a week.The trip, however, had been tense, and after Darcey broke down into tears during the previous night out, Tom gave her the silent treatment once they returned to the hotel and they weren't speaking.
Darcey anticipated she'd have to do some damage control, but Stacey said she didn't want her sister to act like her trip to Albania was "the worst thing ever." Darcey seemingly regretted skipping out on her romantic trip to Gran Canaria, but Stacey insisted she had never wanted to sabotage her relationship.

Darcey went tit for tat with Stacey, and she felt like her twin sister was to blame for her engagement feeling.
Stacey told Darcey that if Tom was annoyed with anyone, he was annoyed with Darcey. Stacey said no one was to blame for the potential failure of Darcey's romance other than herself and her own issues with Tom.
The sisters left on a low note and Stacey warned Tom on her way out of the hotel that Darcey was in a bad mood.
RELATED LINK: '90 DAY FIANCE' COUPLES NOW"This has nothing to do with anyone but you," Tom told Darcey, before telling the cameras, "When Darcey acts in that manner, I just don't find it really attractive."
Darcey had told Tom that she loved him so many times, but he apparently never said it back and so that upset her. Tom didn't like a glimpse into his future with Darcey when thinking about how the twins act around and treat each other.
Tom explained to Darcey that he would never accept her behavior in front of his family; however, he still cared for her and so he was willing to continue their romance.
Darcey could tell Tom was pulling away because her fighting with Stacey had made her look "really bad." The couple wasn't communicating well, and Darcey only had one week left before she must return to the United States.
"I don't know where I stand right now in my relationship with Tom," Darcey told the cameras.
Darcey wished Tom had a good time in Albania, and she apologized for the way she had acted. Darcey was embarrassed and felt guilty for having made Tom feel uncomfortable. She said she didn't want to lose Tom, but he promised she wouldn't lose him.
Tom rented an Air BnB for them in Nottingham, and she revealed his sister lived right next door. Tom said his sister tends to be overprotective, and he feared she wouldn't like or embrace Darcey.

Tom could see the good in Darcey and what their future could bring, but he wasn't sure how exactly to feel or what to do. The pair had some issues to work out, but Tom decided to enjoy a romantic evening with Darcey by the fireplace.
The next day, Darcey and Tom took a walk together with his dog, and Tom told her that he still wanted to be with her. Darcey felt they could get through anything together, and she was so happy to finally see him open up.
Darcey was excited to meet Tom's sister but knew it would be a very big deal. Tom said it was important the two ladies get along, but his sister apparently didn't even think he could handle a serious, long-term relationship.
Tom and Darcey later had dinner with his sister, who said Darcey is exactly the woman whom Tom typically dates -- fake eyelashes, fake hair color, fake breasts etc. Tom's sister wanted to find out if Darcey was real and genuine.
Tom told his sister that he was "falling for" Darcey, who said Tom was worth having a long-distance relationship with because she really cared for him.
"I'm not going to hurt you, trust me," Darcey told Tom at dinner.
Tom's sister wondered whether one woman would be enough for him, but he said he wanted to settle down.
"I'd be very surprised if this is the last woman Tom is with," his sister told the cameras.

Tom revealed after dinner he often uses his family as an excuse or a crutch for his relationships with women not working out.
Darcey didn't like to hear that and said, "I love you," to Tom, but he just stood there in silence and didn't say those three little words back.
TIMOTHY and JENIFFER
Timothy and Jeniffer just weren't getting along, and so the pair decided to spend an evening apart.ADVERTISEMENT
Jeniffer said she wanted to be with the man she fell in love with, hinting that Timothy did not seem to be that man. Jeniffer was unsure about whether she still wanted to move to the United States.
Jeniffer said she and Timothy lacked stability she needed for her daughter and she needed him to step up and be a man.
"I like you when we are in a good state together," Jeniffer noted.
Timothy said to Jeniffer, "If I asked you to marry me right now, what would you say?"
"I don't know," Jeniffer replied. "I've seen a lot of you that I didn't know. You seem to be a different person than before. I don't know."
Timothy acknowledged that was a big problem for them. Jeniffer had been married before, so she didn't want to make a mistake again and commit herself to a negative relationship.

Timothy vowed to change and make things better between them over the next four days, so they kissed and made up. Timothy told Jeniffer that he loved her, and she started to cry.
Timothy said Jeniffer's tears gave him the reassurance he needed that she truly cared about him, because he said that type of emotion cannot be faked. Jeniffer showing her heart was apparently what Timothy needed to want to progress his relationship and try harder.
Timothy, Jeniffer and Jeniffer's daughter then had some "retail therapy," and Timothy looked forward to buying his girlfriend whatever she wanted since she loves shopping and clothes.
Timothy, however, needed Jeniffer to realize his ex and best friend Veronica and Veronica's daughter Chloe weren't going anywhere. He therefore planned for Jeniffer and Veronica to video chat, but he worried things might blow up in his face since he considered both women to be strong, temperamental Latinas.

Veronica admitted she had concerns why someone as beautiful as Jeniffer would be interested in Timothy, but the couple wouldn't open up about their physical intimacy or passion. Jeniffer was annoyed Veronica brought up sex in their first conversation.
"I don't like that. I feel offended," Jeniffer admitted.
BENJAMIN and AKINYI
Benjamin acknowledged Akinyi got "intoxicated" at dinner and the night did not go as he had planned. Akinyi didn't remember anything from the previous night except for drinking, and Benjamin said he was disappointed and hurt from seeing her drunk.Benjamin said Akinyi had disagreed with him and was demanding the waiter for another drink.
Benjamin didn't like Akinyi's behavior and said it would be okay for her to drink once in a while -- but not to a drunken state. Akinyi insisted she didn't drink often and so he shouldn't make a big deal out of it.

"I think Benjamin is overreacting. Sometimes, he's a bit controlling. I'm 26 years old. I can drink. I had just one drink, just one glass, so he needs to chill out," Akinyi told the cameras.
Benjamin promised not to hold the night against Akinyi, but he asked her to learn from the experience. Benjamin admitted, "I would not like to see you drunk again."
Benjamin had some concerns and reservations, but he still loved Akinyi and planned to propose marriage. He was just hoping he'd be making the right decision and there wouldn't be anymore problems.
Benjamin and Akinyi later went shopping at a market so they could bring groceries over to her family. Benjamin purchased about $80 in groceries and was very worried about the bride price.
If Akinyi's father didn't accept Benjamin's offer for the bride price, they wouldn't be able to get married and they'd have a huge problem on their hands.

Benjamin asked for details about the bride price, and then Akinyi dropped a bombshell on him that she'd be traditionally his wife if the bride price is accepted.
"So not just engaged?" Benjamin asked.
Akinyi shook her head "no" and said she'd be his wife. Akinyi explained they'd be legally married in Kenya, which shocked Benjamin and resulted in his mind racing.
"I want to marry Akinyi someday, but I didn't think it would be tomorrow. I can't believe Akinyi never brought this up," Benjamin told the cameras, although the pair would have to obtain a marriage certificate in America for their marriage to be legal.

Benjamin didn't want to enter this commitment lightly since he had a five-year-old son, Grayson, to consider whom Akinyi had never even met. Benjamin had 24 hours to determine whether Akinyi is the person with whom he'd like to spend the rest of his life.
Benjamin then FaceTimed with his friend Desiree and revealed Akinyi was everything he had thought she was and more. Benjamin wanted to pop the question, but he shared with his friend how there is no engagement period.
Desiree pointed out that process was "super fast," and Benjamin was clearly hesitant about it. Desiree said Akinyi should have shared that information with Benjamin sooner, so he did have doubts.
Benjamin knew he could walk away from an engagement if things went sour, but not a marriage. Desiree also added that Akinyi has never been a mother and that's a huge commitment.
"She hasn't experienced your culture, she hasn't met your child, you haven't resided with each other in the same home to be a family and see what that feels like. You need to make the right decision for you and your son," Desiree advised.
Benjamin admitted he felt "torn" about what to do because a lot was at stakes, and he cried. Benjamin had major concerns about Grayson's well-being because his son is his top priority in life. Benjamin wouldn't know what to do if Akinyi didn't get along with his son.

ANGELA and MICHAEL
Even though Angela had one egg left, she had learned at a fertility clinic it might not be alive, so she was very concerned about fertility issues.Angela was hoping to receive an egg from Skyla, but Skyla had already turned that idea down.
Angela and Michael then FaceTimed with Skyla, and Michael asked Skyla flat out if she could give the couple her egg. Skyla said, "No," insisting it was "a dangerous procedure" and "complications happen."

"Y'all don't need no baby," Skyla yelled, adding that she was angry Michael would even ask and put her mother into that position.
Michael said it was important to him to have a baby that could carry on his family name, but Skyla said she wouldn't even sell her egg for a million dollars.
Michael told the cameras he'd be "unhappy" without a child in his life.
Angela was feeling "uneasy" about her future with Michael due to the baby situation, but then tension escalated when Michael asked her to meet up with his friends whom she apparently hated at a bar.
Angela didn't know why Michael's friends wanted to spend time with her because she didn't think they respected her or her relationship. Angela thought Michael's friends were bad influences on him, and she had accused them of speaking negatively about her behind her back.
Angela flat out told a couple of Michael's friends that she didn't like them and they were a problem for her because they had brought Michael to a party when Angela needed some emotional support. Angela said the boys "laughed at [her] misery" and real men would advise Michael to go home and take care of his fiancee.
Michael's friends told Angela that she was possessive and controlling, which prompted Angela to throw a drink at one of them. The men didn't think Angela has good character.

Angela yelled at Michael's friends and they all left the table one by one. Michael felt embarrassed and noted his friendships would probably never be the same again.
"I wish she would just talk instead of yell, but she gets upset so quick, and I don't know if I will be able to cope with this for the rest of my life," Michael said in a confessional.
AVERY and OMAR
Avery and Omar were a few days into the marriage, but Avery had already reached her last day in Lebanon. Avery planned to return to the United States, apply for a spousal visa and then, a few months later, move to Syria and wait for the visa to get approved.Avery said she loved being in a Muslim country and being with Omar felt like home.
The pair watched a sunset at the beach, and Avery asked if their relationship could make it "until July." Omar said they must remain positive about their future, and he intended to remain emotionally stable as a man.
Avery and Omar then enjoyed their last meal together at a restaurant, and she was dreading the time she must leave her husband. Avery predicted it would take about a year for Omar's spousal visa to get approved, and she was frustrated Omar felt zero emotion about her leaving.
"I don't need you to cry; I need you to talk to me. I'm not going to see you for months. I love you so, so much, and I know you love me. But I don't want to be used," Avery told her husband. "There's always that one percent chance."
Omar promised he wasn't using Avery, but she felt doubtful about his feelings for her because he wasn't emotional about her traveling back to America.

Omar said he was sad but he's "not the kind of person" who cries due to his culture.

The couple discussed how they would miss each other so much, but Avery felt they could get through anything together because of their love. She just feared being apart from Omar for so long because she thought they deserved to be together.
REBECCA and ZIED
Rebecca had only a few days left in Tunisia with Zied. She said they had some amazing moments together, but things became strange between them when Zied asked her for $200 American dollars and didn't explain why.However, Rebecca still had faith Zied was in a relationship with her for the right reasons.
Zied then took Rebecca on a trip to the Sahara Desert, where they'd camp out for the night. Zied was so happy but also so nervous because he had planned a surprise for Rebecca.
Zied intended to propose marriage but he didn't want her to find the ring before then. He therefore hid it in their tent and hoped Rebecca would say "yes" because it was his "dream" to get married and move to the U.S.
Rebecca, however, still had to reveal to Zied she was married. She had filed for divorce shortly before leaving for Tunisia, but a divorce takes months to be finalized. Rebecca wasn't sure how Zied was going to react.

After a wonderful night together in the desert, Zied and Rebecca apparently fought over a picture of Rebecca's ex in her phone.
Rebecca said Zied's jealousy "came out of nowhere" and he was being "ridiculous." She hated that Zied didn't trust her more, but Zied insisted any boyfriend would get angry over something like that.
Rebecca said Zied's behavior reminded her of her ex and it wasn't okay. Rebecca promised she didn't "give a sh-t about [her] ex" and Zied shouldn't have gotten so angry about an old photo she forgot to delete.
Zied admitted to being a controlling and jealous guy, but he still wanted to marry Rebecca and make things up to her. Rebecca, however, feared what would happen once she came clean to Zied about how she was still married to that man in the picture.

CAESAR and MARIA
Caesar returned to the United States alone and single after Maria had dumped him over the phone. Caesar admitted he was heartbroken and it would be difficult to tell his friends what went down in Cancun, Mexico.Caesar told his friend who picked him up at the airport that Mexico was "fun but horrible at the same time." Caesar revealed Maria's plane ticket had been canceled and then she broke up with him.
RELATED LINK: '90 DAY FIANCE: BEFORE THE 90 DAYS' COUPLES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER? WHO HAS SPLIT? WHERE ARE THEY NOW? (PHOTOS)
Caesar had invested so much time and energy into Maria that he looked forward to talking to her again. However, Caesar's friend said Maria lacked the decency to even show up when he had spent so much money to meet her.
Caesar wasn't ready to give up on love or just sit back and wait for her to come around, and so he informed his friend he'd be traveling to the Ukraine soon to meet Maria. He didn't want to let go, but his friend hoped Caesar would just get over Maria and move on.
Caesar's friend pointed out Maria may just not want to meet him and there were more negatives than positives about his relationship. Caesar seemed willing to endure even longer than five years of disappointment, but he told his pal he'd think about her advice.
Caesar still had love for Maria and told the cameras he'd hold onto her engagement ring. Caesar acknowledged arguments are normal in relationships but they'd work it out.
"When you love somebody, you'd do whatever it takes," Caesar said.
