KENNETH AND ARMANDO
Armando said his family's reaction to his engagement was tense, quiet and awkward and it ultimately made him sad. Armando didn't know where his relationship stood with his family, but he said the opinion that mattered most belonged to his daughter Hannah."Since Hannah's mother passed away, she's never known another parent, and now Kenny will be another father," Armando told the cameras.
"It's definitely going to be an adjustment, so if Hannah isn't happy about us getting married and a lot of big changes are going to be coming up for her, it's definitely going to cause problems between Kenny and I."
Armando therefore said it was really important for Hannah to support the idea of his engagement and future wedding.
But when Armando told Hannah that he planned to marry Kenneth, Hannah sweetly said she was happy because the three of them were going to be together. Armando showed Hannah his engagement ring and explained it was a symbol of love.

Kenneth cried over the news and gushed about how he was so excited for Hannah to want him in her life. Kenneth said he wanted the best life possible for Hannah and really loved both Armando and his daughter.
"I love you both... We're never going to separate," Hannah said.
RELATED LINK: '90 DAY FIANCE' COUPLES NOWArmando said that was the reaction he needed and Hannah accepting Kenneth was "the best feeling in the world." Armando just wished his parents felt the same way.
The day after Armando's parents were introduced to Kenneth, Armando pulled his mother aside for a chat to see how she was really feeling. Armando's mother admitted she was a bit sad because both he and Hannah had moved away from them.
Armando's mother said it would be difficult to be away from her son and grandchild, but she acknowledged that Kenneth seemed like "a good person" -- and Armando added that Kenneth was going to be a great father to Hannah.
Armando's mother said her husband, Armando Sr., was being quiet and hadn't said anything about Armando's engagement. She wasn't sure whether Armando Sr. would want to speak to Kenneth again any time soon, and she asked Armando to leave it alone for a while and give it time.
"I feel like my dad has been hiding from us. I think it's hard for any parent to learn and to hear and to finally accept that their kid is gay. So just like I needed time to accept myself, I know my dad needs time to accept me. And I'm going to give him more time," Armando explained in a confessional.
Armando's mother just wished Armando had informed her of his engagement in private before announcing it to the whole family, but Armando said he didn't want to hide anything anymore from anyone.
"I can tell my mom's still not thrilled about Kenny and I being engaged, and her telling me that she would have preferred I tell her in private shows me that she's still struggling with it, and maybe in some ways she feels embarrassed that I'm gay," Armando said.
"But she needs to learn how to accept me without worrying about what anybody says or who is around."

Armando felt he was risking his relationship with his family in order to be with Kenneth, but Armando believed he had to be himself and live his life regardless of his family's reaction.

Armando said it was bittersweet to leave the home he had grown up in and for Hannah to leave her grandparents, cousins and more whom she was incredibly close to. Armando knew his relationship with his parents was uncertain, and he just hoped they'd be there for him in the end.
Armando wanted to say goodbye to his father and said he'd leave the house with "a broken heart" if Armando Sr. chose not to see and talk to him.
Kenneth promised Armando's mother and sister that Hannah would be his priority and he'd raise her right.
Armando had an emotional goodbye from his family, and Kenneth felt a little guilty for pulling Armando away from his loved ones. But right before Armando took off, his father showed up and hugged him goodbye.
Armando was brought to tears that Armando Sr. had made an appearance, and Armando Sr. even shook Kenneth's hand again. Virginia was also thrilled her husband showed up for his family before they moved again.
Armando told the cameras it broke his heart to see his family cry but a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. Armando could only hope his parents and sister were on their way to fully embracing and accepting his relationship with Kenneth.
ARIELA AND BINIYAM
Ariela was about to have an emergency C-section, and she was admittedly very scared. Biniyam was also in shock, saying he and Ariela weren't ready "at all" and he thought Ariela was just going to have a routine ultrasound.Ariela had planned for her parents to be in Ethiopia for the birth of her baby, but all of her plans had gone out the window. Ariela called her mother on the phone and was sad that she couldn't be there to meet her new grandson.
However, Ariela's mother assured the mom-to-be that she was going to be just fine and didn't need to worry.

Biniyam wished his wife didn't need surgery because his culture taught him that women who deliver their babies naturally end up having a stronger connection to their son or daughter.
Ariela cried on her way into the operating room and couldn't seem to calm down once she got on the table. A nurse therefore suggested Ariela should receive general anesthesia instead of just spinal anesthesia, but Ariela repeatedly cried, "No!"
Ariela eventually gave doctors the okay for general anesthesia for her C-section because she wouldn't calm down, and Biniyam appeared to pray during the whole procedure.
Ariela and Biniyam's son did not cry once he was born, and a nurse said the baby's respiration rate was not good. However, once the nurse worked on the baby boy for a few minutes, he started crying and Biniyam smiled big.
"I breathed and I was so happy," Biniyam gushed to the cameras as Ariela was asleep. Ariela was expected to gradually wake up about 30 to 45 minutes after her son's birth, and Biniyam told his child that Ariela was going to be okay.
Once Ariela woke up, Biniyam called her mother to share the good news, and Ariela said the last thing she remembered was asking a nurse to give her a minute so she could calm down.
Ariela joked that she woke up to a baby sucking on her breast. Ariela said becoming a mother was "amazing and shocking" and she just loved how sweet and soft her newborn was.
Biniyam thanked Ariela for giving him a baby and promised to be a good father to their cute newborn. Ariela then called her mother, who figured she could travel to Ethiopia in about a week. Ariela wished she had her mother's support and help in taking care of the new baby.
Biniyam's family then visited Ariela in the hospital, and Ariela revealed she hadn't picked out a name for the baby yet. She and Biniyam temporarily called their son "Simba" until they could pick out the perfect name.
Ariela and Biniyam apparently couldn't agree on a name, and then Biniyam's relatives pushed for Ariela to baptize her son within 40 days.
Ariela said she respected Biniyam's culture and religion but it wasn't the right time to talk about something so serious given she was "exhausted and in pain."

Ariela thanked everyone for visiting her but was glad to be left alone.
Later on, Ariela and Biniyam tried to agree on a name. Biniyam apparently liked Gabriel but Ariela didn't.
Biniyam and Ariela also had nothing they needed to bring their baby home given he arrived two weeks before the due date and Ariela's mother was going to show up with necessary baby supplies from America.
Biniyam and his sister therefore went shopping for a baby carrier and bath tub. Biniyam wasn't sure Ariela would like the items, but he didn't have a lot of money to spend.
Biniyam really wanted his son to get baptized but he didn't want to push Ariela away given they had already been arguing more than usual. He wanted to be a happy family and grow more in love with Ariela.
DEAVAN AND JIHOON
Deavan had been in South Korea for a month, and she and Jihoon were shown moving into a new apartment. Deavan was so glad to have a new home she could feel comfortable in, especially since her time in South Korea had gotten off to a rocky start.Deavan's mother Elicia thought Deavan was making a huge mistake by staying in South Korea, but Deavan said she really wanted her relationship with Jihoon to work and for her children to grow up with a father.
Deavan tried to "enjoy the happiness" of being married, but she and Deavan had to clean their messy home for which they had signed a one-year lease. Deavan hoped for the best for her family although they didn't have much money to spend.

Deavan and Jihoon were then shown arguing over whether to buy a bidet toilet. Jihoon joked Deavan was dirty and needed to clean her anal, but Deavan said they couldn't afford that.
Deavan revealed she and Jihoon were planning a real wedding since they had only gotten married on paper. Deavan wanted a wedding ceremony with Drascilla serving as the flower girl and noted Jihoon was finally stepping up to provide for his family.

"I'm really hopeful for the future at this point because it really feels like things are falling into place for us. I just hope Jihoon can continue working hard, because I can't do this alone anymore," Deavan said in a confessional.
TIM AND MELYZA
Melyza revealed she and Tim had sex after months of no physical contact and it was "good as usual," although the encounter got off to a bit of a rocky start.Tim said it felt good "to get lucky" because Melyza was feeling good with him again on both a physical and emotional level. It apparently made Tim feel great that he and Melyza were getting closer again and growing in love.
The couple then went for a walk with Melyza's two dogs, and Melyza said she was pleased with their progress and how they were working on their relationship.
Melyza, however, had to come clean about seeing another man while she and Tim were broken up. Tim admitted there had been flirtation with his co-workers during his split from Melyza, and she snapped at him, "Seriously?!"
Melyza explained she and Tim had never officially broken up but they were not together for a while and a breakup was simply assumed. Melyza then revealed to Tim she had dated another man, adding, "I was single."
RELATED LINK: '90 DAY FIANCE' COUPLES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER? WHO HAS SPLIT? WHERE ARE THEY KNOW? (PHOTOS)
Tim couldn't believe Melyza was upset with him for potentially flirting when she had actually hooked up with another man, and he confessed he was hurt.
Tim asked Melyza how she had met this man, and Melyza said a friend had introduced her to him. Tim then questioned whether Melyza had slept with this person, but she dodged his questions and essentially suggested it was none of his business.
"I'm not seeing this person anymore, so why do you care?" Melyza asked.
Melyza said she didn't want to hurt Tim and so she attempted to downplay her past relationship. Melyza told the cameras it was "a very passionate relationship" but she and the man had stopped seeing each other about a month ago.

Melyza told Tim that her prior relationship was "casual" and Tim didn't need to know anything else.
"Did you have sex with him?" Tim asked.
Melyza appeared to give Tim no response, which made him flip out and curse.
"I'm not giving you the details. I just don't see the point, honestly," Melyza told Tim.
Tim complained Melyza had asked him to divulge all the details of his affair, but she argued that was very different and her situation was very different from Tim's cheating. Melyza told the cameras her sexual encounter was an attempt to move on from Tim.
Melyza finally owned up to having sex with another man multiple times, and Tim seemed crushed. Tim said he felt like he and Melyza were still together at the time because they never had a clean break, but Melyza assured Tim that she no longer had feelings for this man or spoke to him.
Melyza felt bad for hurting Tim, who acknowledged Melyza's behavior was going to change things for them. Melyza didn't want to be punished for being honest and said she was upset Tim warned her things would be different.

"I wish she told me before I moved here [to Colombia] because it's making me second guess whether she's actually serious about us," Tim lamented in a confessional. "It's tough."
Melyza assured Tim that her fling didn't mean anything to her and she was focused on rebuilding their relationship, but Tim told his girlfriend that he needed some space and time to think about things.
Tim said the news left him feeling "devastated" and "lost" and he didn't really know what to think. Tim therefore decided to have a quick session with his therapist via videochat.

"I don't necessarily judge her for it, but in my heart, I don't think it was necessarily right."
Tim's therapist said what Tim was feeling was normal because he wanted Melyza to be only his. Both Tim and Melyza had hurt each other and they both needed to regain trust with each other, which Tim's therapist said would take commitment and hard work.
Tim admitted he felt conflicted over whether to put forth that effort in case Melyza backed out of their relationship and left him "stranded" in Colombia.
Tim's therapist advised Tim to forgive Melyza and try to move past their moments of indiscretion. Tim, however, felt uncertain about the future of his relationship and recognized he and Melyza had big mountains to climb.
Meanwhile, Melyza went out for a drink with her mother, who could tell that Melyza had "mixed feelings" and wasn't happy or thriving in her relationship.
"I don't think you're as in love anymore. I don't see it. Seriously," Melyza's mother said.
Melyza insisted she still felt love for Tim but didn't feel ready or prepared to express those feelings. Melyza had stopped telling Tim that she loved him after the cheating scandal.

Melyza broke down into tears, saying she still hadn't completely processed what Tim had done to her. Melyza wasn't convinced Tim would be faithful to her going forward, adding that all trust had been lost.
Melyza acknowledged that she needed to forgive Tim -- both for him and herself -- and move on in order to get to a healthy point in her relationship, but she said that was going to be very hard to do.
BRITTANY AND YAZAN
Brittany's divorce didn't come through, and so she admitted she felt very stressed. While Brittany was trying to settle her past, Yazan's family was pressuring her to get married.ADVERTISEMENT
Yazan didn't even know Brittany was still technically married, so Brittany anticipated big struggles ahead in her relationship. Yazan's parents didn't even want Yazan to marry Brittany unless she agreed to convert to Islam and behave like a traditional Muslim woman.
"I think he's going to say he doesn't want you to change and then when you get married, he's going to flip on you," Virginia's sister warned Brittany.
Virginia pointed out Brittany is light years away from what a Muslim woman should be and she couldn't picture Brittany changing for anyone. Virginia said she was really concerned because Brittany was seemingly considering converting to Islam.
"I don't even know if I can go back to Jordan while I'm still married... I need to get this divorce finalized because I can't keep buying time. If I don't go back to Jordan with the divorce papers, our relationship will be over," Brittany noted.
After three weeks of Brittany being in America, Yazan said he missed his fiancee a lot and was going through difficult times. He apparently didn't know what to do without her around.
Yazan met with his close friend Mohammed as a result and revealed his father was not accepting of his relationship with Brittany and future marriage due to revealing photos on Brittany's social media. Yazan claimed the sexy photos on social media were old ones.
Yazan's father apparently told Yazan that Brittany had been lying to him and didn't really want to marry him. Yazan believed in his heart, however, Brittany wasn't playing him and that she loved him.

"I told him next time... we are going to sign the papers and we're going to continue [with marriage]. My dad said, 'If you want the girl, don't work. Go marry her, don't work with me. Show yourself out," Yazan told his friend.
"He kicked me out of the house. He fired me from my job. I spent the first day at my uncle's. After that, I had to stay on the street for two days. Then I rented an apartment and looked for work. I don't talk to anyone. I spend time alone."
Yazan said this was the most difficult time of his life, especially in light of being fired from the fish market.

Yazan hadn't spoken to Brittany and he said he didn't understand why. Yazan felt he had lost his family and Brittany as well, and he didn't know what to do. Yazan said Brittany wanted him to pay for her plane fare but he couldn't afford it at the time.
Yazan had to explain to Brittany that he was struggling financially and didn't even have money to eat.
"I felt like she is living in another world or that she doesn't care about me at all," Yazan griped. "There is no one at all. If she's really saying she loves me, she's supposed to understand what I'm going through."
Yazan began to worry that his parents had been correct all along in their suspicions and concerns about Brittany, which was bothering him the most.
Mohammed believed Yazan was sacrificing everything for Brittany and advised Yazan to just leave Brittany behind and move on. Mohammed called the relationship "a failure" and said he didn't like it at all.
"But I don't know. He's completely drowned in her love," Mohammed noted.
Yazan said he loved and missed Brittany a lot, but he was no longer sure Brittany loved him the same way. The experience had humbled Yazan, and he confessed to the cameras, "Whatever I do is always right. For the first time in my life, I feel like I made the wrong choice."
