90 Day Fiance viewers last saw Gino leaving Panama and returning home to the United States after getting re-engaged to Jasmine.
Despite their frequent fighting, Gino applied for the K-1 visa, and they were forced to live apart until it's approval.
The brand new couples starring on 90 Day Fiance include Sophie, a 23-year-old from the United Kingdom, and Robert, a 32-year-old from California; Manuel, a 34-year-old from Ecuador, and Ashley, a 31-year-old from New York; and Justin, a 36-year-old from Moldova, and Nikki, a 47-year-old from New Jersey.
The other three couples -- who have yet to be introduced -- are Nick, a 30-year-old from Australia, and Devin, a 23-year-old from Arkansas; Anali, a 26-year-old from Peru, and Clayton, a 29-year-old from Kentucky; and Citra, a 26-year-old from Indonesia, and Sam, a 30-year-old from Missouri.
90 Day Fiance features Americans who have fallen in love with foreigners bringing their fiances to the United States on K-1 visas.
However, once the couple is in America together, the American must marry their overseas partner within the 90-day period allowed by the visa or the foreigner has to return to his or her home country.
"These long-distance, international couples go the distance as they navigate cultural differences, discover surprising personality traits, and process lingering tensions brought on by doubtful friends and families," TLC teased of the new season.
Below is what happened on Episode 2 of 90 Day Fiance's tenth season.
ASHLEY and MANUEL
Ashley was shown experiencing a panic attack on her drive over to the airport. She and Manuel had not been in contact for six to seven hours, and so she was afraid Manuel never got on the plane or got stuck in customs or immigration."Did they give him a hard time because his visa literally expires the next day?" Ashley questioned to the 90 Day Fiance cameras. "I am tweaking because I don't have any control over this situation."

"You've gotten more beautiful, my love," Manuel told Ashley as she tried to catch her breath.
Manuel had traveled all the way from Ecuador, and Ashley was absolutely thrilled to have him in Rochester, NY. She felt complete and utter relief to have her man in her arms.

Once Manuel arrived in Ashley's home, he met her dog, Rico, and admitted how he's not exactly an animal lover.
Ashley gave Manuel a tour of her home, and Manuel was surprised to see that she had hot water coming out of the faucet. He clearly thought her place was really nice, even though it was "witchy" with spiritual items scattered around.
Ashley didn't want to overwhelm Manuel, but it was also important for him to know all of her before they got married.
Manuel wanted Ashley to put a door on her bedroom so the dog couldn't come in and out as he pleased. Manuel didn't like the idea of Ashley's dog sleeping in bed with him, but Ashley said that wasn't his choice.

Manuel also pointed out how he could return home at any time if things didn't work out for them.
Ashley then opened up to Manuel about her witchcraft, and she wanted him to love and understand her -- and eventually come around to her cat, which he didn't like at all.
Manuel -- who thought witches hurt people -- didn't want his future wife to be a "witch," but Ashley kept reiterating how his definition of a witch was different from her own.
"I've got a lot of work ahead of me," Ashley vented to 90 Day Fiance cameras.
"This witch thing is going to be hard to navigate through. He's thinking of old-school witches, like from Snow White. I'm not okay with being judged by my partner... [He needs] to understand and respect what I do... if he's in this relationship for the right reasons."
NIKKI and JUSTIN
Nikki was shown packing up her suitcases for a trip to Moldova to visit Justin. It had been nine months since she last saw her fiance Justin, and her vacation was only one day away.Nikki's mother Myrna helped her pack for the trip, and they were both hopeful this trip was going to go well.
Initially, Myrna wasn't accepting of Nikki's decision to transition into a female.
"She gave birth to a boy, and she thought I was going to be a freak. Imagine being 17-years-old and hearing from your parent that they won't accept you for the life you felt you should've been born from the beginning," Nikki explained to the 90 Day Fiance cameras.
"So from the time I was 17-years-old to 19-years-old, my mother and I didn't speak. Of course she accepted me years ago, and now we're [tight]. My mom loves me and accepts me as her daughter, and sometimes that takes time."

Nikki packed some sexy as well as conservative clothes, knowing that she was going to see Justin's parents.

Justin was apparently receiving a lot of pushback and rejection from his friends, which made Nikki feel sad, as if she's "a disease." Nikki sometimes battled depression, and so she was worried Justin's friends were going to negatively impact her mental health.
Myrna hoped Justin's parents would love and accept Nikki, and she cried with guilt about having abandoned her daughter for a couple of years during her time of need.
Myrna cried in her mother's arms, and Myrna assured Nikki that she was going to have a good life and be loved. Myrna insisted everything was going to be fine and okay.
"There's just so many things we need to discuss," Nikki said of Justin.
"Everything I need in a man and a husband, I need that reassurance because I'm not moving forward again and have the same nightmare happen all over again -- him coming to the United States and getting sent back [to Moldova] again. I need to know if it's going to work before he comes."
Meanwhile, Justin admitted people in Moldova could be narrow-minded and so he worried for Nikki's safety and emotional well-being.
Justin was shown meeting up with his friend Sergei, who was apparently "dumbfounded" when he first found out that Nikki was trans. Sergei was shocked about the news and wasn't used to such a dating experience, but he was kind and supportive of his friend.
"I don't know what I'll be up against, but I'm going in prepared, and I have become wiser," Justin explained to his friend.
Justin told the cameras how he needed two or three years away from Nikki to figure out who he is and what he wanted, and he eventually became more open-minded and realized that he wanted to be with Nikki.
Justin was determined to see Nikki as the sweet and kind woman he had gotten to know and not judge her. Justin also thought Nikki was a beautiful and sexy woman, and so it was hard for him to think about the fact she had been born a man.
SOPHIE and ROBERT
Sophie was on her way to Los Angeles, CA, to move in with Robert and start a life together.ADVERTISEMENT
Robert wanted to give Sophie the marriage proposal she deserved.
When Sophie arrived, she admitted that she was sweaty and smelled pretty bad. She attempted to clean up in a bathroom while Robert was "losing it" and "freaking out" waiting for his girlfriend.

Robert was afraid to forget his dance since he was so nervous.
Once the pair reunited, Robert started dancing to music on his phone, and Sophie had no idea what was going on. She giggled and thought the dance was "cute," and then Robert gave her a bouquet of red roses.
"Rob is so corny sometimes. It's so funny. If any other guy did it, I would be like, 'Eww.' If a British guy did the stuff Rob did, I would be disgusted and never speak to him every again. But Rob is American, and so he can get away with it," Sophie said with a laugh.
Once Robert's dance was done, he got down on one knee and presented Sophie with an engagement ring. She didn't expect the proposal at all, and so she asked, "Are you serious?! Oh my god, I can't even breathe. Yes, yes, yes, yes! I'm shaking!"
Sophie told the 90 Day Fiance cameras that she was very happy to be engaged, even though the airport isn't a romantic place.
"We were already engaged, but the actual proposal, I felt like that needed to happen -- and it needed to happen as soon as she got to L.A. You've got to say 'yes' to me before you can become a U.S. citizen and enjoy L.A.," Robert explained in a confessional.
The pair therefore had 90 days to wed or else Sophie would have to return to the United Kingdom.
Robert and Sophie ended up getting stuck in an elevator together at the airport, so that definitely killed the mood. Sophie was stressed after two flights and was feeling jetlagged, and she complained about how Robert was making things worse rather than better for her.

Robert believed the elevator getting stuck was out of his control, but Sophie accused Robert of breaking it and being responsible for the hold-up.
"You're ruining the moment!" Robert complained.
"I'm so tired," Sophie lamented.
Robert then drove Sophie to "the hood," and there were police cars everywhere. Robert, however, didn't think the environment was that bad, and he welcomed Sophie to "home, sweet home."
Sophie thought Robert's dinner outside was "very cute," and she flashed a big smile on her face.
Sophie had stayed at Robert's place before, and he purchased her a new television and dresser.
"I know it's not luxurious, but it's definitely comfy," Robert said.
Sophie was used to an apartment with a roof deck overlooking London that was clean, bright and airy. Her lifestyle was going to drastically change with Robert, and she hoped they could move into a nicer home eventually.
"I view it as I'm there temporarily until we figure something out," Sophie told the 90 Day Fiance cameras. "This is definitely a guy's home... We need pink pillows and cushions... [and] tables and chairs where we can sit."

Sophie told Robert that "for today," it was okay, and Robert attempted to stay positive and release negativity and judgement.

GINO and JASMINE
Jasmine cut her hair and boasted about her new look. She wanted to feel like she had control over something, and so she chopped off her long locks and got rid of her wig and hair extensions."It's time to embrace my natural hair, and I really like it! It's cute!" Jasmine gushed to the 90 Day Fiance cameras.
Jasmine had to say goodbye to her family and friends in Panama City, and that was very difficult for her. She was traveling with her dog Coco and had a stop in Atlanta before flying to Detroit, MI.
Jasmine was in tears on the plane, but she looked forward to being with Gino once and for all.
Gino, however, expected an angry fiancee to arrive because Jasmine had blocked him on a communication app after a big fight. Gino didn't know if Jasmine had even made her flight.
"I'm worried about this. I quit my job because I wanted to make sure she's very comfortable in Michigan, and I don't even know if she's going to make it to the U.S.A.," Gino lamented to the 90 Day Fiance cameras.
"I really hope I made the right choice. We had been waiting for 18 months to get through the K-1 visa process. This was supposed to be an exciting day, and that's what is so hard."
Gino called Jasmine his "soul mate," but he didn't know how she was going to react to him. They had 90 days to figure out if their relationship was going to be good or a nightmare in a new country.
Jasmine couldn't believe she was in America once she arrived, and she was so excited and had a big smile on her face. Jasmine had reviewed all of the happy moments she and Gino shared while she was on the plane, and so she calmed down and was no longer very angry at her fiance.
When Jasmine arrived, she and Gino ran up to each other and hugged. Gino said he missed Jasmine so much, and he presented her with a big bouquet of flowers.
"We did it, baby! We did it," Jasmine cried in Gino's arms.

Gino and Jasmine hugged and kissed in the airport, and Gino gushed about how he loved Jasmine's hair. Jasmine told Gino that she never loved anyone in the way she loved him.
Jasmine asked Gino to just forget about yesterday, and they pinky-promised to stop fighting going forward. Jasmine joked about how she was going to annoy Gino every day in the United States, and Gino couldn't wait for "awesome" times ahead.

Jasmine also couldn't wait to see and "smell" Gino's house in Michigan.
The pair then had 90 days to wed, and Jasmine noted how there was no turning back now.
Once Jasmine walked outside, she realized it was extremely cold, and she absolutely hated it. Jasmine didn't think her body could handle such weather, and she joked about how she was afraid she was going to die.
"This is the winter version of hell," Jasmine complained. "I should be happy, but this place screams depression. It's, like, so gloomy and so dark. I think God didn't want people to live here, but people insisted on living in Michigan."
Jasmine then got to see her new home, where Gino had already been living without her for years.
Jasmine thought the color on Gino's living room wall was ugly, and she said it smelled dusty and like garbage. Jasmine then went through Gino's cabinets, and she was shocked to see his number of canned goods and plastic bags.
Jasmine wanted to fill Gino's refrigerator with fruits and vegetables, and she acknowledged how his house was worse than she thought.
"I can't live like this, and if he doesn't start making changes, I'm never going to feel like I'm home. And I don't know if I'm going to be able to stay here," Jasmine complained to the 90 Day Fiance cameras.

"More dead trees," Jasmine joked.
Jasmine also walked into the bathroom and Gino had left a poop in the toilet. Jasmine thought the bathroom was "very promising," but she pointed out how they needed a new toilet and fixtures.
Jasmine thought about renovating the bathroom, but Gino reminded her that they needed to budget their money. Jasmine also wanted to change out Gino's bed -- including the blankets and sheets -- which Gino said he had purchased after his divorce.
Jasmine insisted that she wouldn't feel comfortable sleeping in that bed, and Gino was getting stressed out thinking about all the changes she wanted to do. After all, Gino had no income.
