Below is what was shown on the eighth episode of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way's third season.
JENNY AND SUMIT
Jenny was shown meeting with her best -- and only -- female friend in India, Deepali, after learning Sumit's parents wanted to move in with her and live in their place, which Jenny thought was essentially absurd.
Jenny wished Sumit's parents would just listen and understand her perspective and why she and Sumit loved each other, but Deepali said her parents would have reacted in the same way to such a relationship with a large age gap between the partners.
Deepali explained to Jenny how people have joined families in Indian culture and her own mother-in-law stayed with her for four to six months until she could "settle the house," but Jenny pointed out how she's an American and doesn't need a woman telling her what to do or how to run her own house.
Jenny wondered if Sumit's mother Sahna truly wanted to help her become a traditional Indian wife or if she was hoping to run her out of India and away from her son.
"I've seen the hurt and anger in her face, so it's hard to believe her. For all I know, she's thinking, '[Jenny] won't be able to handle it and she'll run back to America and I'll break them up... I won and I have my son back now,'" Jenny explained.
Deepali advised Jenny to be positive and optimistic about the situation and give the living arrangement a chance. Jenny entertained a "trial" with Sahna in the hope they could possibly improve their relationship.
But Jenny said if Sahna came to her house and just bothered her after a few days, the arrangement would end and there would be "no moving in."

Jenny and Sumit therefore welcomed Sumit's parents for a few days and set up the guest room for them as a result. Jenny figured Sumit's parents were expecting her to fail, but Sumit asked his love to keep an open mind.
Sumit was even prepared to let his parents sleep in their bed so they'd be comfortable, but Jenny wasn't onboard with that. She also didn't appreciate Sumit's parents continuing to hide her relationship with Sumit from society.
Jenny said she was living her best life in India, but Sumit apparently wanted to make some changes, such as waking up at 5AM or 6AM when Jenny preferred to sleep in every day. Sumit admitted that he missed his parents although he also enjoyed their freedom.

Sumit wanted to get back to normal life in India, such as going to work and being more active. He desired a partner who would take care of him once he returned home from his job.
On her way to the house, Sahna said she was interested to see Jenny and Sumit's living conditions and how Jenny fed her son and took care of responsibilities. Sahna's willingness to move in was a sign she and her husband were beginning to respect and support Sumit's relationship, despite Jenny's skepticism of the new family dynamic.
Jenny planned to try her best, but she told Sumit that he couldn't expect her to be perfect. Sumit just asked Jenny to remain calm and happy, even during more challenging times.
Jenny welcomed Sumit's parents into her home with open arms and said it was a happy moment for her.

Sahna quickly started making demands and cleaning, and Jenny seemed to get overwhelmed and pissed very quickly.
Sumit liked watching his wife clean the house, and Sahna said it was going to be Jenny's daily job to keep up the household and maintain a clean space.
Jenny figured Sahna was just looking for reasons to say she's not good enough for Sumit, and Jenny feared this was going to ruin her relationship. She wanted Sumit's parents to leave.
ELLIE AND VICTOR
Ellie and Victor had been staying in a hotel, which was super expensive and apparently taking a toll on the couple. Ellie wanted to cook and save some money, so they decided to rent an apartment together in San Andreas.
Victor wished he and Ellie could move into their home in Providencia, but it was too early after the hurricane and the pair still needed to rebuild their house so they would have a place to stay upon moving back.
Victor predicted he and Ellie would spend a month or two in the apartment, and Ellie said living with Victor under these circumstances was a bit strange.
While unpacking their clothes, Ellie brought up Victor's affair and the fact he had cheated on her during quarantine.
"You actually moved in with this person. You guys were talking about having kids," Ellie revealed. "At least that's what she said."
"That's crazy," Victor replied, adding, "I didn't even mean most of the things that we were talking about."
Victor admitted he had "f-cked up" and hurt Ellie's feelings but the romance with this woman was not serious.

The woman told Ellie that Victor had asked her to buy him a motorcycle, which he denied, and she accused him of lying to her since he had in the past.

Victor insisted he was not using Ellie for money or clothes. Ellie believed Victor but had little insecurities creeping up in the back of her mind since she had helped her man out financially before.
Ellie said Victor had broken her heart and being cheated on "totally sucked." She said it would take a while to fully recover from the incident but she wanted to work on things with him.
Victor apologized again and said he would rebuild their trust, and Ellie hoped to put Victor's mistake in the past so it wouldn't be hanging over their heads.
Ellie and Victor later purchased tools so they could reconstruct their house in Providencia. Ellie felt a lot of pressure financially and never expected to have to pay for so much, such as a $148 drill.
Ellie didn't think Victor understood the value of a dollar and how she's not rich just because she's from the United States. Victor, for instance, didn't seem pleased with an inexpensive drill he'd have to charge every hour or so.
Victor found the shopping experience frustrating, but Ellie also didn't seem happy. Ellie said she was trying to budget and make smart choices about money and she wished Victor would be more appreciative about her spending on him.
Ellie ended up paying $230 at the hardware store for supplies.
ARIELA AND BINIYAM
Ariela was heading back to the United States after spending more than a year in Ethiopia, and Ariela's parents were so excited to see their daughter and grandbaby. It had been seven months since Ariela's mother Janice last saw Ariela and little Avi.
Avi was eight months old at the time, and his grandparents were thrilled to be reunited with him at the airport.
Ariela planned to get Avi the surgery and then hang out with her extended family and friends. Ariela, however, wished Biniyam could have joined her for the trip, especially since being in a long-distance relationship had hurt them in the past.
"I'm worried that with Avi and I so far away, this could cause a whole different set of problems for us," Ariela noted.

Ariela's family asked Ariela to consider school systems and how Avi would have the best opportunities in America. But Ariela said moving to the U.S. wasn't even an option because the Embassy was closed due to COVID-19 and Biniyam couldn't obtain a K-1 visa.
Biniyam also didn't like the idea of leaving Ethiopia in general.

"Coming back here feels like visiting," Ariela said, before one relative asked Ariela to "wake up" because Avi needs to grow up healthy and with good education.
Ariela didn't think Biniyam would be open to making the same sacrifices she had made for him, although she found the idea of a life in the U.S. with her husband intriguing.
KENNY AND ARMANDO
Kenny and Armando's wedding was in two months, and Armando said it was fun to put all the details in place for their ceremony and reception.
Armando opened up to Kenny and said he felt "an emptiness" inside him, like "something [was] missing," and so he had been thinking about pursuing an adoption. He and Kenny had been talking about that on and off, although Kenny was a bit hesitant about the idea due to his age.
Armando said he's always wanted more kids and envisioned the idea of raising a baby, instead of an older child, which appeared to make Kenny nervous and reluctant.
"I can see it, but I also know we need to be logical about it... We need to talk on it," Kenny told his fiance.
Armando suggested they could maybe make a baby through in vitro so the baby would have Kenny's blood (given Armando's daughter Hannah has his blood), and Kenny took a big deep breath. Armando knew convincing Kenny of this was going to be a tall order.
Kenny said he liked the idea of adopting an older kid so they could help a child in need, and at age 58 -- even though Armando was 32 -- he thought it would make more sense for them.

Kenny got a little emotional, but Armando insisted Kenny's age didn't matter and it's a journey he'd love to do together. Kenny wanted to make Armando's dreams come true, but he also wanted Armando to really think things through.
Kenny said they'd take the process step by step but he was willing to do some research and visit open-minded adoption agencies about same-sex couples.
Armando apparently had a good conversation with a private agency, an orphanage, that houses children who are HIV-positive. Kenny said he lost 80 percent of the people he knew to HIV in the 1980s, and so visiting this agency truly warmed his heart and he said he wanted to help.
A representative at the orphanage told the couple the adoption must go through the government and she had only heard of one lesbian couple adopting a baby in Mexico City. However, she said people were becoming more accepting of same-sex couples adopting.
The woman revealed adopting a child was actually a four-year process for one woman and the timeline varies case by case. Armando therefore questioned if this would be the best way forward for them.

Armando and Kenny were then introduced to some of the children and the men brought them new toys. Kenny said the moment was amazing and the thought of adopting a child with something that had been a death sentence 30 years ago would be incredible, just to show them love, tenderness and support.
Kenny wondered if medicine would be readily available for a child with HIV in Mexico and how this child would affect Hannah and Armando's family considering there's still a stigma surrounding the virus.
Kenny and Armando discussed adoption or having a baby via surrogacy later on, and Armando expressed how it would be such a struggle to have his family embrace and support him adopting a child with HIV.
Armando had already gone through years of battling to have his family accept him for being gay, but Kenny wanted to do what's best for them and not make a decision based on the opinions of others.
"I would rather help a kid than make a kid," Kenny confessed to Armando.

STEVEN AND ALINA
Steven and Alina brought Alina's mother out to lunch at a beautiful restaurant. Alina was happy to have her mother around, but she was still upset over the fact Steven had lied about being a virgin, not to mention he had sex with multiple women.
Steven looked forward to Alina being baptized in his Mormon faith and suggested Alina's mother could maybe join his religion one day as well, but Alina's mom -- who was already disciplined in Orthodox beliefs -- noted how that's a huge decision to make.

Alina's mother wouldn't make any promises, but she said she would at least think about it.
Steven was apparently worried about their different religions having a negative impact on his relationship with Alina down the road, pointing out how Alina's mother would be their child's grandmother and have influence over the baby's life and how he or she is raised.
Alina appeared frustrated that Steven was trying to convert her mother, and she said it was "not appropriate," especially because they had been fighting.
"I don't like that Steven is pushing that on my mother," Alina shared in a confessional.
Alina then announced how Steven had broken the commandment of chastity because she believed he was being very hypocritical.
Alina thought it was ridiculous Steven was asking her mother to follow church rules "that he couldn't even follow."
Alina's mom pointed out how Steven had been born into a Mormon family and therefore didn't really have a choice in what to believe in, and she was concerned about Alina having to follow all the rules of his faith.
"So it looks like you can live without coffee but you can't live without sex," Alina's mom told Steven.

Steven wished and Alina could have spoken about this in private first, but he explained how he had been tested and given he's had sex before, he knew how much he was sacrificing for his religion. Alina then asked Steven to stop making excuses.
Steven said being abstinent was very difficult because he found sex enjoyable and so it was like eating only vegetables after eating a candy bar for him.
"I hate hypocrites. I think it's one of the worst qualities in a person," Alina said.
"He broke this order after we met with someone who wasn't me. At that time, I already thought I was important to him. I read the Book of Mormon and prayed every day."
Alina told Steven that she still loved him and nothing had changed for her, although she had been initially thinking Steven was going to be her Prince Charming and fairy tale.
Alina said she had never expected things to unfold this way and she and Steven were definitely far from getting married.
Steven asked Alina to give him time to apologize and prove himself to be the husband she deserves.
Alina asked her mother if she believed Steven, and she replied, "I don't."
Steven worried all of his promises wouldn't be enough for Alina, who wondered if Steven would really change for her. Alina's mom told her flat out to break up with Steven.

Alina's mother didn't like what she saw and hoped Alina would just move home to Russia with her. Alina had to make that decision for herself, but her mother clearly didn't want to see her marry Steven and stay in Turkey.
COREY AND EVELIN
Evelin wanted Corey to leave their home, but Corey planned to continue fighting for their relationship -- until she completely forced him out. Corey was apparently staying in the guest room, and he wrote Evelin a letter promising not to make any more mistakes.
Evelin wasn't sure how to process Corey's mistake when he was always around her. She apparently wanted him gone.
Evelin said Corey's love notes and letters weren't going to help the situation and she wanted him to respect her decision to be apart.
"I also need to know, are you going to sign the divorce papers?" Evelin asked.
"I'm not going to sign the divorce papers, not yet," Corey replied.
"Then I am going to start the legal process against you, Corey," Evelin said.
Corey begged for another chance, saying he didn't want to give up on her or what they had. Evelin said she didn't want a nasty divorce but she'd be willing to get the landlord and police involved if necessary.
Corey said he was going to stay until he could change his mind, and Evelin joked about how Corey could be a couple with Raul as a result.
Corey told the cameras Evelin had never been this devoted to them separating before and the situation was "really scary" for him. However, Corey said if Evelin served him with divorce papers, he'd "rip them up in her face."
