Below is what was shown on the third episode of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way's third season.
JENNY AND SUMIT
Jenny had learned she could stay in India permanently if she receives a missionary visa and becomes a Krishna devotee. Jenny therefore visited a nearby temple to figure out what she'd have to do if she joined the religion.Jenny didn't want taking on a new faith to cause a big change in her lifestyle, but she figured it would. In order to find answers, she met with Ajay, an Iskcon priest.
Jenny was introduced to two devotees who are "Krishna conscious," and she discovered how to chant a mantra by using prayer beads. The women had to repeat the prayer 108 times and Jenny said it gave her a peaceful feeling in which she was able to forget everything.
Jenny, however, admitted praying the mantra was tiring, although she felt a vibration inside of her.
Jenny thought it was beautiful how being Krishna devotees brought meaning to the women's lives, and she began to wonder if joining the religion would remove some stress from her life. She said she was taking the possibility very seriously.
Jenny was interested enough to talk to the priest more about how she could practice the faith, and Ajay shared with Jenny how chanting to Krishna could change the heart of Sumit's other and he would be able to arrange for the couple to get married in that temple.
Jenny loved the idea -- until she learned how strict being a Krishna devotee was going to be. Ajay said the "beginning" of Jenny's faith journey would be easy and task-free because Krishna is "merciful" and simple and all she would have to do is chant his name.

But then Ajay explained of international devotees with missionary visas, "They are very dedicated, serving [the] temple all day," adding that qualifying can take three to 10 years and there is "no guarantee" for Jenny to become full-time.
Jenny realized in that moment her only two options would be to leave the country every six months -- which is very expensive -- or get married to Sumit in India and receive a spousal visa.

Jenny told Sumit that a missionary visa was not going to work, and Sumit admitted he was upset about the news.
"We are in the exact same situation as before. I cannot choose marriage over my parents," Sumit explained in a confessional. "I don't know what I got to do. I am really in fear for Jenny and I."
ARIELA AND BINIYAM
Biniyam said he didn't feel good inside about Ariela's ex-husband Leandro visiting Ariela in Ethiopia, and Ariela admitted she was feeling upset and regret over the way her relationship with Leandro had abruptly ended.Ariela felt bad and "emotional" about the way she had left Leandro in Indiana without closure or a good explanation. Ariela put traveling and adventure before marriage and her future with Leandro.
"I always knew you and me were going to end up together, you know? I never actually felt like we broke up," Ariela told her ex-husband.

Leandro admitted he was surprised when Ariela had left him and he questioned if the move was just temporary, but during their split, Ariela began dating Biniyam and got pregnant, which resulted in the end of Ariela and Leandro's story.
"It's just weird. Having you here is bringing up a lot of emotions that I otherwise didn't expect to feel," Ariela confessed.
"Yeah," Leandro agreed. "I feel the same."
Biniyam said he wasn't comfortable with Leandro in Ethiopia, but he brought Ariela's ex to his gym so they could speak man-to-man and do a little boxing.
"I think Leandro still has feelings for Ari. He wouldn't come here if he didn't," Biniyam explained to the cameras, adding that Ari never told him she and Leandro had stayed in the same apartment in New Jersey while Ari was pregnant.
Biniyam and Leandro's fighting started off innocent and playful, but then suddenly Biniyam grabbed Leandro, wrestled him to the ground and put him in a headlock. Leandro even had to tap out -- twice!
Leandro called the fighting "intense" and said he felt dizzy, and the move totally caught him off-guard. Leandro wondered if Biniyam's training had evolved into something else, and Biniyam admitted he was too aggressive and sometimes can't control himself in a fight.
Leandro then revealed to Biniyam he had traveled to Ethiopia because Ari "begged" him to come. Leandro said Ari was lonely and feeling homesick.

Biniyam asked Leandro if he still had feelings for Ari, and Leandro said it's hard to shut off feelings just because a relationship ends. Leandro said he cared about Ari and just wanted to make sure she's happy and doing well in Ethiopia.
Biniyam then flat out asked Leandro if he and Ari had sex while they were staying in the same apartment in New Jersey. Leandro replied, "Don't worry. You don't have anything to worry about."
But Leandro appeared nervous when answering that question, and Biniyam said he didn't trust him.

"It's so rude and demeaning to me because it means he doesn't trust me," Ariela told the cameras.
Biniyam accused Leandro of lying, but Ariela insisted Leandro always comes across nervous when he speaks.
Ariela said she wished Biniyam would focus on their relationship and their wedding planning instead of the past and what may or may not have happened in New Jersey when Ariela was five months pregnant with their son.
The trio later went out for lunch, and Biniyam invited his dance partner and ex-girlfriend to join them. Ariela said Biniyam was just trying to get back at her for welcoming Leandro into their home.
The two couples, including Biniyam's ex Tsion, then gathered together, and Leandro told the cameras how Tsion is "gorgeous" and "extremely beautiful." She also called Leandro "cute."
Leandro asked Tsion and Biniyam why they ever broke up when they continue to work so closely together, and Tsion suggested it was because she thinks Biniyam had cheated on her with "the American," meaning Biniyam's ex-wife with whom he had welcomed a child.
Biniyam said he and Tsion went almost two months without talking and then he started a relationship with his ex-wife, which ended up being a problem for Tsion.
"We were going to a show for work and you were holding her hand," Tsion revealed, explaining how she felt Biniyam had dumped her for another.
At the time, Biniyam told Tsion that he was just doing casting for a movie, and Ariela called Biniyam "so full of sh-t."
Tsion said she never thought she and Biniyam would break up but his behavior while they were together was very suspicious and it hurt to feel cheated on.
"I didn't want to accept the truth," Tsion told the cameras, adding how Biniyam quickly moved on and suddenly got married.

Tsion, however, assured Ariela that she should feel confident in her love for Biniyam.
Ariela said it was hypocritical of Biniyam to question her past with Leandro when he had made serious mistakes in his past. Ariela said the revelation had only made things worse for their already-complicated relationship.
ELLIE AND VICTOR
A tropical storm was heading to Providencia, and then overnight, it turned into a Category 5 hurricane. Victor admitted he was really scared and had asked Ellie to pray for him, and then all communication on the island was lost.Ellie heard from Victor around midnight, when he was heading to shelter with his sister in a neighborhood called Bottom House. But the next morning, Ellie didn't hear from her boyfriend again.
Ellie cried and was afraid for Victor's safety. She said she couldn't stand to lose another person close to her after the death of her husband, mother, father and good friend.
Ellie found thinking about the possible destruction in Providencia "heartbreaking," but her friend Hiromi came to the rescue and comforted Ellie in her time of need.
Ellie explained how Victor lived in a house made of wood and she hoped he was able to move into a concrete structure, such as a community center created for potential island evacuation.
Ellie just had no idea what was going on, other than the fact Victor had lost electricity and didn't have much money. Ellie was supposed to fly out in three days, and so she wondered whether she should still fly to Colombia and try to find him.
"I'm terrified of what's happening there. I mean, he could be dead. I'm just hoping that he made it," Ellie lamented. "My mind is just in such a dark place. It's just automatically going to the worst case scenario... I don't think I can handle another loss."
After two days of no communication with Victor, Ellie finally received a voicemail from Victor's sister Astrid, who shared in a voicemail how Victor was okay and he loved her a lot.

Hiromi decided to encourage Ellie and apologize for being "petty" considering Victor's affair no longer seemed significant. Hiromi wanted her friend to be happy, and so she drove her to the airport.
"I don't have a plan right now. All I know is that Victor is alive. I don't know if he's safe, if he has a roof, if he has clothes, if he has food, if they have water. I don't know any of those things," Ellie said.
"I'm just going to get on a plane and keep going until I get to Victor."

Ellie's imagination was running wild while she took multiple connection flights to Bogota, Colombia. Ellie said it was an exhausting trip to San Andreas, which is about 50 miles away from Providencia and where Providencia evacuees would go.
Ellie said 98 percent of the island was destroyed and so she wasn't sure if she had made the right decision in leaving her comfortable home. Ellie assumed Victor had not been evacuated from the island since she had yet to hear from him.
Ellie didn't have a plan, and she wasn't even sure if she'd be able to find Victor.
KENNY AND ARMANDO
Kenny went to the airport to pick up his daughter Cassidy from Florida, who was visiting him after more than a year apart. Kenny said he missed so many milestones in his grandson Cooper's life and essentially abandoning his family to live in Mexico with Armando was "a huge sacrifice.""It's been hell not seeing my kids in so long. That's the double-edged sword of it all," Kenny explained.
Kenny and Cassidy had an emotional reunion at the airport, and she said she wished she could live with Kenny in Mexico. She was excited to see Kenny's new life in Mexico.
Kenny told his daughter that he didn't have any regrets about moving but he sometimes fell into depression over missing his family and felt guilty about leaving them. Kenny hid that side of him from Armando so he wouldn't make Armando feel bad or responsible.

"I've never let on totally how badly I felt about leaving or how hard it's kind of been because he's had feelings about if he forced me to move. Because I know at different times, I put it off due to family issues or family problems and he would get upset with me because he felt I was dragging my feet."
Kenny feared his children may resent him for following his heart and choosing his own happiness over his family's well-being.
He concluded, "So no, I haven't been completely honest with him about being homesick."
Cassidy also cried in the car about how she needed to get the family together since Kenny had basically been the glue or "the foundation" of their family. Cassidy apparently felt a huge burden on her shoulders and missed everyone being together.
Cassidy said, in a way, she wasn't prepared for the repercussions of her father moving away.
COREY AND EVELIN
Evelin was shown planning her wedding with her sisters, Lipsy and Lesly. Evelin was looking at wedding dresses online, and Corey said he was super happy and excited about Evelin's effort.Corey had been hiding a white dress in the back room for about a year, and so he admitted it was a little dirty but he hoped Evelin would like it. Corey wanted to impress Evelin and her sisters.

Corey therefore surprised Evelin with the form-fitted dress which featured gold embellishments around the bust. The dress had splits and an open back, but Evelin and her sisters pointed out how the dress was dirty and looked like a prom dress.
"It's a really horrible, old, dirty dress," Evelin said in a confessional.
Evelin told Corey, "It's bad luck for the husband to see the dress," and then she asked if the dress had been past down from generation to generation in Corey's family.

Evelin admitted she didn't even appreciate the thought and found Corey's "cheap" gesture embarrassing. Evelin's sisters thought Corey had "some nerve" to pull a move like that, and Evelin felt insulted.
Evelin realized Corey was just trying to get out of buying her a nice, new dress, and she said wearing his sister's prom dress to her wedding was a big "hell no."
Evelin later went to a local wedding dress designer's shop in Ecuador, and when she tried on dresses, she freaked out a little bit because everything was beginning to feel so real.
An anxious Evelin said it was never her dream to have a wedding and get married, and her sisters acknowledged how much Evelin had changed for Corey.
Evelin tried on a beautiful gown, but it was clear Lipsy and Lesly weren't genuinely happy for her.
"I'd feel different wearing this wedding dress if I felt sure Corey is the man I want to spend the rest of my life with. And at this moment, I don't feel that way," Evelin said, referencing Corey's fling with a woman in Peru.

Evelin even toasted champagne with her sisters "to having regrets."
Evelin shared with her sisters how Corey had presented that woman in Peru, Jenny, as his "girlfriend."
Corey apparently explained to Evelin at the time that it was a translation error because he had only known the woman for a week and the same word for "girlfriend" and "friend" is used in English.
Evelin's sisters weren't buying that explanation and said they didn't trust Corey at all and Evelin was "crazy" for marrying a cheater. They weren't convinced Corey was fully invested in his relationship with Evelin and their future together.

Evelin's sisters had shocked looks on their faces.
STEVEN AND ALINA
Alina was ready to leave Russia the next day to reunite with her boyfriend Steven in Turkey amid the coronavirus pandemic.Alina asked her good friend Masha to meet her in her mother's furniture store first, and Alina asked her pal to do her a favor.
Alina explained how she was upset about Steven's decision to stay in separate places once they move to Turkey. Alina worried Steven would have too much freedom to meet and talk to other girls.

Alina was doubting her future with Steven, especially because he seemed to have close friends that are women.
"He once asked me if he can date other girls," Alina told Masha. "It felt like a knife to my heart. I'm sacrificing my life for love."
Alina therefore decided to test Steven's faithfulness and loyalty by asking Masha to message Steven on Instagram and flirt with him. Alina wanted to see if Steven would respond, flirt back or maybe even hit on Masha given she's a beautiful Russian woman.
Alina also wanted to find out whether Steven would say he has a girlfriend.
Masha -- whom Steven had never seen or met -- agreed to help Alina out, even though she was a tad nervous Steven may take the bait.
Alina said she loved Steven but thought this was necessary in order to trust him, and so Alina asked Steven about the backdrop of one of his pictures when he was traveling.

Steven's parents hoped Steve would be "wise enough" and make "smart choices" with Alina, and then Steven was showing traveling to Turkey. Steven's mother thought her son should be more scared of what's to come, but Steven didn't seem bothered.
Steven hoped his sacrifice of leaving friends and family wouldn't be for nothing, but he said he was so excited to see Alina.
