JESSICA and JUAN
Jessica was shown preparing eggs the way Juan liked them and waking him up with breakfast in bed.The pair then took advantage of the privacy they had and were intimate, and Juan boasted about how he couldn't wipe the big smile off his face.

Juan was used to cruise stops that had endless bars, restaurants and party locations, and he complained about how Wyoming smelled like cow poop. But Jessica argued that it wasn't much different from how he lived before.
"The cruise ship and the town are two different things. It's not the same life," Juan complained, although Jessica insisted there was "no difference" because there were still a lot of people in her town.
Jessica later took Juan out for some drinks with her friends, and she anticipated Juan would be grilled.
Juan was nervous Jessica's friends, especially Megin, were going to ask him tough questions or be negative towards him.
During the outing, Megin asked Juan about his last cruise when Juan had allegedly cheated with a woman. Since Juan continued to deny those allegations, Megin demanded honesty from him.
"Women have intuition, and I can feel that Juan cheated on Jess," Megin told the cameras.
Megin said the idea of Juan messing around behind Jessica's back shattered her heart, but Juan snapped about how that was his private life and he essentially didn't owe her an explanation.

"Just me being here and giving everything up, I think that should be enough," Juan countered.
But Megin said Juan still wasn't answering her question, and so she pressed, "What happened on the cruise?"
"I messed up," Juan confessed.
"You messed up? How? DId you sleep with that girl?" Megin asked.
"I did," Juan admitted.

GREG and JOAN
Greg and Joan woke up in bed together and it was Joan's first morning in America. Greg said waking up next to Joan was "the best feeling" he "ever, ever had."Greg and Joan, who had only kissed the night before, could hear Greg's mother Lucille doing yard work, and he noted how it would be nice if his mom could take a little vacation to Florida.
Greg wanted to respect his mother but also make Joan feel comfortable in his home. Joan wanted to have a place of their own, but Greg told her that finances were tight and this had to be the situation for a while.
"If we moved out, I'd definitely miss my mother a lot. I know that's crazy, but it's okay," Greg told the cameras.
Lucille noticed that Joan was taking multiple long and hot showers every day, and it made her concerned about the electric bill. Joan, however, said she needed to take two showers a day, and so there was tension in the household already.
Greg joked about how he thought everything was free, just like how he threw his dirty clothes down the stairs and they came back up to him as clean laundry.

"Ms. Lucille does everything for Greg. But if I'm going to be his wife, I feel like Greg needs to grow up. I had to sacrifice a lot to come and be with my fiance, so I want him to man up and get out of his mother's house," Joan admitted in a confessional.
Greg and Joan later went grocery shopping, and Joan thought prices at the store were outrageous. Since she wanted to move out of Greg's mother's home, she said they'd need to budget and plan more.
Greg had turned down a civil service job in New York state, and Lucille thought he was crazy for doing so.
Joan was shocked to find out Greg had turned down the job as well, but Greg explained that he wanted to spend time with Joan and the job wasn't exactly what he wanted to do.
Joan started crying in the grocery store because they needed money, but Greg said he probably wouldn't have been happy in that job. Greg also promised Joan that they'd always have food on the table and she should be able to feel secure in America.
Greg said he was trying to keep it together but his new life was starting to be "overwhelming."
SHAWN and ALLIYA
Shawn, a celebrity makeup artist and hairstylist in Los Angeles, asked Alliya, a trans woman from Brazil, how she could've done that to him when he had done so much for her."I was patiently waiting in 104 degrees outside, and every minute felt like an hour," Shawn complained as footage showed him in a black suit waiting for his bride on his wedding day.
Alliya explained how she was "frozen inside" and "feeling lost." She said everything was falling apart in her life at that moment.
Alliya said she thought life with Shawn would be a fairy tale but she didn't have any loved ones in America and she had expected things to be very different.
Shawn had been married for 14 years and welcomed three children with her. He said their relationship was good overall and they were able to remain friends after their split.

During a gay pride festival in Spain, Douglas dressed up as a woman and loved it, and so Alliya was born.
Shawn and Alliya had already applied for a K-1 visa, but he seemed a little conflicted that Douglas was no more.
"Alliya is a fun time, but I mourn the loss of the first chapter. This metamorphosis has happened, and so I want to focus my energy on what is and not what was," Shawn explained to the cameras.
Shawn explained how he had fallen in love with one person and had all of his boxes checked and then that person died.
Shawn therefore said he and Alliya had 90 days to figure it out and he really wanted their relationship to work out.
Alliya's K-1 visa interview was going to take place the next day, and Shawn worried Alliya may face some discrimination and that her sex change may complicate the situation.
Alliya wondered if she should go to the interview as a man, but she had spent years trying to be herself and express herself the way she wanted to. Alliya didn't want to conceal her true self, but she also feared people rejecting her and denying her the K-1 visa.
Alliya broke down into tears because once she had transitioned, she promised herself she'd never go back to being a man again. But since Alliya's relationship was on the line, she didn't know what to do.
Alliya decided to go to the interview as herself in order to be totally authentic, and Shawn hoped the people conducting the interview would treat her nicely and with respect.
Shawn knew that the interviewer was expecting to meet a Douglas, and so this made him feel very anxious.

MAHDI and STEVI
Stevi was hoping that Mahdi would feel at home in her house, but there were many paintings of boobs around the house.Mahdi said he may have gotten arrested in Iran for having a picture of a naked woman in his house, and so this was quite an adjustment for him.
Stevi gave Mahdi a tour of her home, and he loved the desk he had picked out.
Mahdi also met -- and touched -- Stevi's cat, and he felt the immediate need to wash his hands. Mahdi wasn't sure if he was going to like living with a cat because he had grown up thinking they were dirty.
Mahdi then explained to the cameras how Stevi would lose his trust if she came out as bisexual to him.
Stevi later shared with Mahdi how she had just told her father about him prior to his arrival. Up until that point, Stevi's father had been in the dark about their relationship.
"You had a year!" Mahdi vented. "This doesn't make sense to me."
"I know I should've told him sooner, but dad has been going through a whole lot, and I didn't know if he was going to be accepting of you. I was afraid of that," Stevi admitted.
Stevi said she didn't want anything to ruin the process of Mahdi moving to America, but Mahdi said he was super nervous to meet her dad and Stevi had put him in an awful position.
Mahdi knew that Stevi's father had probably heard terrible things about his country, and so Mahdi didn't know what was going to happen. Mahdi admitted this meeting was going to be really difficult for him.
AMANI and MATT
Amani and Matt arrived in Mexico and met up with Any at a Day of the Dead festival. The pair wanted to start the K-1 visa and bring Any to America, and so they were very excited to reunite with her.When the throuple reunited, both Amani and Matt kissed Any and appeared thrilled. They didn't get to see each other much because of their families and jobs.

Amani explained how people looked at them strangely all the time because throuples are sexualized but they definitely had romantic and emotional ties.
When the trio returned to their hotel room, lingerie was brought out and Any hopped into the middle of the couple in bed.
MARK and MINA
Mina woke up pissed at Mark because she felt alone and abandoned. Mina said she didn't feel like she had Mark's support after he had opened up to her about his daughter Jordan's concerns and skepticism.Mark insisted that his daughter didn't hate Mina and everything was going to be fine, but Mina wasn't buying it. Mina didn't like that Jordan was questioning her intentions and essentially being two-faced since the women had gotten along fine during their first meeting in France.
In attempt to smooth things over and have some fun, Mark invited some neighbors over his house to have a cookout with Mina. Mina noticed that everyone was much older than the couple, and so she wondered whom her two-year-old baby girl was going to play with.
Mina really liked a woman named Martini Pat, but Mina noted how Pat was retired and she wasn't even close to that yet.
Mina wanted to have another baby with Mark, but Mark's neighbors pointed out how Jordan wouldn't be happy with that and it may affect their relationship.
Mina thought Jordan and Mark's relationship getting in the way of her hopes and dreams was "absurd," and Mina wondered if she had made a mistake moving to the United States.
That night, Mark gushed about how he and Mina had some "good sex," and the pair went on a hike the next day.
While enjoying a picnic by the river, Mark expressed how he was worried about Mina and Jordan. He said he wanted to resolve things as soon as possible because neither of them would want drama at the wedding.
Mark asked Mina to talk to Jordan and get to know her better, but Mina wanted Mark to work things out on his side since Jordan was his daughter and not her own.

Mina ultimately agreed to try one more time with Jordan, but Mark said he wouldn't be able to get married unless the two women in his life could get along and each get through a meeting in one piece.
