LARISSA and COLT
Larissa and Colt's search for the perfect wedding venue was "a disaster," according to Colt, so he attempted to make it up to her by looking for a one-bedroom apartment of their own. Larissa didn't want to live with Colt's mother any more since her fiance is a grown man.
"Debbie is a like a cat. She disappear but she appear when's the time to make your life hell," Larissa told the cameras.
"She tried to seem really nice, but she likes to manipulate the situation to be the victim and I be the evil one. I can't live with the situation anymore."
While the couple found a furnished loft-style apartment they loved for a little over $3,000 a month, Colt told Larissa he needed to talk to his mother and make sure she would be okay living alone.
Larissa lacked understanding and empathy, and Colt pointed out she couldn't make him choose between the two women in his life. Colt had also told Larissa that he took care of his mother when they began dating.
Debbie later told her son that he shouldn't feel tied down to living with her or taking care of her and she could stay in a senior-living community. Larissa said she'd simply feel more comfortable in a place of her own with Colt.

ASHLEY and JAY
A couple months into Jay's stay in the United States, Ashley was looking forward to their wedding, but they needed to work on their issues first.
Ashley was having trouble trusting Jay because he often texted with random girls and left the house without informing her first, but Jay vented about how he needed to be free to come and go as he pleased.
However, Jay apologized after sleeping on the couch and said, "I should have told her I was leaving."
Jay said it felt good to overcome the argument and he was ready and willing to go the extra mile to make Ashley happy and make things work with her. The couple just needed to improve their communication.
Ashley then brought Jay to their wedding venue at barn, and he thought it was really nice but not too upscale. Ashley already had their wedding planned out because she didn't want to feel all that stress once Jay arrived in the United States.

There were also threats of violence from people who disapproved of their union. Ashley wasn't used to this behavior since Jay was the first black man she ever dated, and she asked her fiancé to always be "on alert."
"It's really hurtful. This is supposed to be the happiest time in our life... and this is making me question everything we're doing from here on out," Ashley said.
"These comments make me feel really angry and make me want to go back to Jamaica and not be in America no more," Jay told the cameras.

JONATHAN and FERNANDA
Fernanda went shopping for a wedding dress with Jonathan's supportive sister, Jackie, but his mother was running late. Fernanda was disappointed about Ceci's reluctance to come because she was all alone in America, without her own mother and loved ones.
"I want to show her I am a good decision for Jonathan," Fernanda told Jackie.
Ceci was hesitant to show up because she said the wedding was happening quickly and it was a lot to process, but since her son was getting married regardless of her own opinion, it was important to be supportive of his fiancee.
Fernanda tried on a few dresses. While one had a sparkly bodice with opals and crystals and a ballgown skirt, Fernanda seemed to like two gowns that were more conservative and sophisticated better.
In the end, Fernanda chose a long-sleeve dress with sparkles along the waist and a low-cut back that the store called its "Jackie O" gown. Fernanda cried when she picked her dress because her mother wasn't there.
Ceci realized how hard this must be for Fernanda, so she gave the girl a hug and did her best to be there for her.

Steven acknowledged his temper had flared up and the fighting needed to stop because he wanted his son, Richie, to grow up in a happy household and healthy environment. Olga agreed, saying they should focus on improving their relationship.
Steven decided to take Olga and his son to a park, but tension heightened again when the couple struggled to put the baby in his car seat. Since the baby was sleeping, she just wanted to stay near their home and walk him around in a stroller.
The couple continued to disagree, but they were first-time parents and barely knew each other, so there was a lot of work to be done.
Steven admitted Olga didn't seem to realize or appreciate all that he was doing for her and their baby. He was running around, cleaning their house and picking up groceries and prescriptions. Steven felt way out of his comfort zone.
Steven told Olga that she no longer seemed excited to have him around, but she said it wasn't fair for him to expect her to be "super happy" after she just had an operation. Steven said Olga forgot about her relationship because she always put the baby first and didn't care about his needs.
Olga figured Steven was jealous of all the attention she was paying to their child, but she found that time with Richie completely necessary as a new mom. The conversation left Olga in tears and Steven saying the future of their relationship was unclear.
Steven questioned if Olga loved him and cared about him, and he resorted back to the pain he felt in his childhood. Olga feared moving to the United States and being completely alone with no family or friends if things didn't work out.

ERIC and LEIDA
Eric and Leida had to plan a wedding in two months although they were still working through their problems, such as the fact Leida did not know Eric had been covering the rent for his daughter Tasha for a while.
Leida revealed her first wedding in Indonesia was huge, as she had over 2,000 guests in a five-star hotel and the event cost her family around $300,000.

There were 25 people coming to the wedding, and those guests were going to be Eric's family and friends. Leida revealed her family would not be coming to the ceremony because they didn't approve of her relationship.
While one might assume Leida would be heartbroken over the fact her family couldn't come, she was actually happy and relieved, telling the cameras they would just complain about how Eric wasn't good enough for her.
With the wedding being a few weeks away, Leida was hoping the florist would "up" her wedding game. The couple's budget, however, was very modest at $400, and so the florist warned Leida there would be arrangements of white roses but not much else.
Leida was disappointed because she wanted more decorations with a bigger and more colorful venue. She complained that if Eric wasn't paying child support, he would be able to afford more for their wedding.
Leida hoped Eric would double or even triple their budget for the florist, and in the end, Eric gave in and chose to double the flower budget.
The couple then shopped for a new bed and a couch, and the experience once again led to an argument. Eric thought the furniture was too expensive and Leida simply needed to accept that.
"He just really let me down and I feel like I've been lied to," Leida said in a confessional.
"This situation makes me mad with Eric. I was promised that will [will have] happiness through hard work. Hard work, okay? You earn more. I'm finally understanding he doesn't make enough to provide for me and my son... What am I doing here? I've been disappointed with him all the time."
Leida just wasn't happy with the way they were living, and she noted Allessandro needed a better life in the United States -- or their life in America was "not wanted."
Leida threatened to give back her engagement ring and call off their wedding, and Eric said it was "heartbreaking" and felt "horrible." Eric seemed to think Leida was not going to give up her "selfish" ways.

Kalani complained about how Asuelu didn't have great parenting skills and said she was still having "serious doubts" about getting married.
Kalani, however, still had plans to go shopping for a wedding dress with her sister Kolini, nicknamed "Lini." Lini continued to have reservations about Kalani's relationship since she was a protective sister.
Kalani had nothing planned for the wedding, and reality was sinking in that her big day might actually be happening.
"I just feel rush and panicked, and it's kind of taking the joy out of everything," Kalani told the cameras.
When Kalani tried on an off-the-shoulder lace ballgown that she loved, she seemed upset and worried. She wanted to make sure Asuelu was on the same page before going ahead with a purchase.
Kalani determined she didn't want to commit to a dress just yet, and her mother Lisa disclosed her daughter struggles with commitment in many aspects of her life. Lisa noted decisions had to be made.
Kalani, Kolini and Asuelu later enjoyed lunch out together, and Asuelu admitted he loved the fact Kalani was American because he had always dreamed about living in the United States. Asuelu, however, insisted he loved Kalani and her personality and there was a lot more to their relationship.
Asuelu then complained that Kalani didn't really like his family, but she pointed out that his brother had said something disgusting to her -- about wanting to have sex with her -- and never apologized for it. Kalani also reminded Asuelu that she brought Oliver to Samoa so his parents could meet him.
Asuelu stormed out of the restaurant, giving Kolini more reason to think their relationship was dysfunctional and Kalani shouldn't marry him.
