Post by bunniefuu »

[Stevi] Previously on


No, my pumpkin!

I love being married to Matt.

We do all the typical
family things.


We're a throuple,
and we have a girlfriend.


Her name is Any, and she lives
in Tijuana, Mexico.


Our only option is
to get legally divorced


so that one of us can apply
for the K-1 visa

and bring her to the U.S.

- [Matt] We were thinking about...
- Getting a divorce.

- [woman] Wait!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

When you know, you know.

My fiance, Joan,

arrives from Uganda,

and I am absolutely just head
over heels in love with this girl.


[people cheering]

-[Greg speaking] -Oh,
hello, dear. You home?

[Greg] But I'm living at
home with my mother.


You know, it's this huge
c*ck block, you know.

You know, you've been
alone the whole time,

and now all of a sudden you have
a woman in your room with you.

Would you consider
a separate room?

[Shekinah] I missed you.

My feelings are
confused right now.

[in Turkish]

-[gasps] -[in
English] Oh. Really?

[Sarper's mom speaking]

[Sarper, in Turkish]

[Shekinah, in English]
I see faces dropping.

I'm the bad guy here.

- You home?
- [girl] Woo!

[Mark] Woo!

After two years, Mina
and Maria just arrived


in America.

- What do you think?
- Wow.

[Mark] Yeah.

[Mina, in French]

[in English]

[Stevi pants]

[Stevi speaking]

[Stevi] It's shocking
to hear Mahdi say that


in the first hours
of being here.

So if Mahdi chose
to go back to Iran,


I don't know that I would
ever recover from that.

["Heaven on My Mind" playing]

[Maria laughs]

Yeah.

[laughs] "A little"? Come on.

I'm so happy you're
finally here, baby.

- Yeah, finally.
- It's been so long, you know?

- Yeah.
- Like, two years.

Mina just arrived

and it's been like this,
like a roller coaster,

but it's amazing to wake
up having them here.


I couldn't be happier 'cause this
is what we've waited for for years.

- Yeah, you want to call him now?
- Yes.

[Mark] Oh, of course. Okay.

All right. Okay.

Mina has a son from
a previous relationship.

Uh, his name is Clayton.

Clayton's name was on
the K-1 visa with Mina,


as a minor, as her son.

And so I just thought

he was gonna be able to
travel with her to the USA,

but his passport, uh,

had some complications
that we didn't realize.

And so Clayton is gonna
be staying with Mina's friend


until we can get the
paperwork sorted out.

[line ringing]

[device chimes]

[in French]

[Mark, in English] Clayton.

[Mina, in French]

- [Mark, in English] Hey, buddy, you good.
- [Clayton, in French]

[in English] Hey. Miss you.

[in French]

- Oh!
- [Mark chuckles]

[in English] Yeah.

First class for me and Maria.

It's so good.

-[in French] -[Mark, in
English] This is Maria.

- Your sister.
- [Maria cooing]

Clayton. You see Clayton.

[laughs]

- Clayton! Clayton!
- [Mark] Clayton.

[Tracy] Aww.

Come to the USA, Clayton.
Your English is still good?

[Mark] You're practicing?

- [Clayton speaking]
- A little? [laughs]

[Mina speaking]

- Oh...
- [Clayton speaking]

No.

I think you're coming soon.

[in French]

[in English]

Uh...

[in French]

[Mark speaking]

- [in English] Bye.
- [Mark] See you soon.

[Maria cooing]

- You know?
- I know. You're an amazing mom.

I know Clayton needs
you. You need Clayton.

It's not possible to
change the date, baby.

It's 90 days.

You have to leave the USA

- if we don't get married.
- Oh, my God.

Uh, I don't know what
to do, um, you know?

I don't know.

I don't know what...

I don't know what I can do...

You can't go back right now
because then you can't come.

Listen.

If you go back, you can't
come back, you know?

It's a one-time entry,

so I don't know what
else I can do, you know?

It's not for you, baby.
I love you so much.

It's not this, it's just
because I'm a mom.

[Mark] I know.

I don't know. I'm very confused.

I'm very confused.

[Mark] I know you're
confused, but we'll work it out.

["Courage My Love" playing]

[Lila speaking]

I am so glad I found your salon.

And I'm gonna tell
all my friends about it.

- [Lila] Okay.
- Well, how much do I owe you?

Um, ten.

Okay. Can we come
to another agreement?

Can I pay you in lots and
lots of hugs and kisses?

No. I want ten! $10.

[Amani] Today, Matt and I
are going to travel to Mexico.


We're so excited to
see our girlfriend, Any.

[Matt] Oh! Back down.

We're going to be in
Mexico for two weeks,

and it's the longest
I've ever been

without my babies,
and I'm so, so sad.

It's hard when you're
dating but you also have kids.

We'll be gone
for just a little bit.

- A couple weeks.
- How many days?

- A few days, and we'll FaceTime you.
- How many days?

Two hands worth.

Two hands.

[Amani] Any has three kids,

and we want this to work for
the sake of our children as well.


[Matt] Kids drop-offs, the,

you know, our brunch routines.

[Amani speaking]

Oh, my baby. Come,
come, come. Baby.

- I love you!
- [Lila] I'm hugging you.

- No, you're not leaving.
- [Amani chuckles]

[Amani] I love you. I love you.

- You be good for Brittney, okay?
- [Lila] Okay.

This time when we go to Mexico,

it'll be a lot different
than the previous times.

- [Britney] Well, y'all be careful.
- [Amani] Bye, baby.

The first half of the trip, we'll be
spending some time in Ensenada.


It will be romantic,
doing all these


touristy things together.

On the second part of the
trip, we're going to Guadalajara,


and that's where Any's
from and where she grew up.


We want to see how she
acts around her family.

I think that says a
lot about somebody.

So many of our friends and stuff
know about her now, you know,

and all of her friends
are about to meet us.

So, how's she gonna handle that?

[Amani] There's a
little bit of nervousness,


it's normal, because
when you care,


- you're nervous, but...
- [Matt] Mm-hmm.

We're super excited.

[sighs] I don't know, I just...

It was hard for
me to leave them.

Man, I'm devastated.

I haven't left them
that long before.

Yeah, I get it, honey.

[sniffles] I just feel horrible.

[sniffles]

Honey, we are very
much there for our children.

It's not about being
there for them.

It's, like, leaving
them for two weeks

to pursue love, you know?

Sometimes I'm like, why can't
we just be like the normal parents?

Leaving our kids is
getting harder and harder.

[Matt] We leave to Mexico,
have a hole in our heart


because our babies are missing.

We come back to the States,
we have a hole in our heart

because Any's not there.

And then we go
back home and it's like,

- "Oh, this is nice to be our one-on-one time."
- [Matt] Yeah.

There would be a time there
was no more one-on-one,

like, how do we navigate that?

Maybe there should be
boundaries or rules or I don't know.

Um, I think that

we're never gonna
learn this process

if we're not in it.

Like, I've always been the jealous,
possessive person in the relationship.

It's the Middle
Eastern in me, I guess.

Or maybe it's just me, so,

I would like to be
kept in the known.

Like, if you had any
conversations with her that,

you know, maybe I
wasn't part of, like...

It's really complicated

to be with a woman, let
alone being in a throuple.


I want to make sure

that they're growing
their relationship,

but there's a possibility where

potentially Matt can develop

stronger and stronger
feelings for her.

[sighs]

I always, like,
wonder, like, what if

another woman could be a
better partner to Matt than me?

Like, all the things
that I'm not good at,


what if she was good at it?

All the things that
are important to him.

What if another woman would
check all the boxes more than me?

We're gonna cross, you ready?

Crossing the border.

No matter what, we know,
going back from this trip,

things are gonna be different.

What direction, we don't
know. So that's the hard part.

I actually made a loaf of bread.

So instead of holding up a sign,

I'm gonna hold up
a loaf of sourdough.

Today's the day where
Joan arrives from Uganda,

and, like, I am
just so ecstatic.

It feels like I've been waiting
my entire life for this moment.

It's like, you know,
opening that box of pizza


and just having that first
slice, taking that first bite.

Oh, my God.

[Stevi speaking]

[Stevi] If you're
having regrets already,


you're not gonna
get through 90 days,

or our entire life.

[inhales, sniffles]

♪ It's game time, huh, huh ♪

♪ Oh, my, it's so bad ♪

♪ Come around the way,
girl Say I'm the baddest ♪


Yeah. Got all the
cookies coming out.

Pretty good there.

Another humid day.

So you have to leave soon.

Yeah, I gotta get going
as soon as possible.

[Lucille] You putting
mayonnaise or anything?

[Greg] No, she don't like mayo.

[Lucille] Oh.

You just making one?

You got enough
meat there for two.

- You got the micromanager over here.
- No cheese?

- Cheese? Oh.
- No cheese. Watch out, come on.

Today's the day where
Joan arrives from Uganda,

and, like, I am
just so ecstatic.

I can't even control
myself. I feel like

I'm just gonna sh**t
out of these boots,


like, you know, like a rocket

from SpaceX or
something like that,

you know? [laughs]

So, what's on your
mind? What's going on?

I was thinking, have you thought
any more about separate rooms?

[Greg] I mean, I really haven't.

You know? I know it's hard.

You know what I mean? I
know it's very concerning for you.

I just don't need to
hear things going on.

You don't wanna hear the bed
rocking or anything like that?

- Creaks in the floor?
- Yeah, I just don't wanna hear it.

It's not my business, you know?

I get that.

Mom wants us sleeping
in separate bedrooms

because, um, you
know, the house,

I guess the walls are very thin,

so if we're getting intimate, we're
getting sexual with each other,


I mean, she can
probably pick up,

you know, everything
that's going on.

You know, I'm not used to you
having a woman in your bed with you.

[Greg] I get that.

I do wish things were different.

Of course, I want my own place,
and I want privacy for ourselves,

but this is what we
have to deal with for now,


and we're gonna get through it.

[Lucille] You want this
all in a little shopping bag?

I know you're gonna put it
in a shopping bag anyway,

- so, boom. Go...
- [Lucille chuckles]

You can't just have
it loose like this.

Pack it up.

I know when
they're together here,


they wanna spend time alone.

You know, to do what they
want as the urge strikes.


- You gotta get your shoes on, right?
- [Greg] Oh, shoes, shirt.

Cologne.

But I hope they still want to,

you know, have me
around in their life,

and, you know, I
ain't gonna be like


a third wheel to them, and,

you know, that Greg
would still appreciate me


and not tell me to get lost.

[Greg] So besides the
cookies, I actually made

a loaf of bread.

[Lucille] Oh, that's cute.

So instead of holding up a sign,

I'm gonna hold up
a loaf of sourdough.

Oh, she sees that,
it says, "Joan," right?

[Greg] Joan and I
started this K-1 process


about a year and a half ago,

and it is just absolutely crazy

that it's happening now.

- I love you, Mom.
- [Lucille] Love you.

[Greg] I'll let you
know about dinner.

It feels like I've been waiting
my entire life for this moment.

It's like, you know, opening
that huge box of pizza

and just having that first
slice, taking that first bite.

It's gonna be like the whole
world has stopped for a second,

like fireworks and...

Just beautiful, man. Like, I'm

at a ten-piece orchestra
symphony, you know?

Ah. So her flight
has arrived at 01:03.

Uh, just waiting for her
to come out now, man.

It's exciting. This is crazy.

This is crazy, man.

["Only You" playing]

Oh, my God.

Hey. [laughs]

[laughs] Oh, wow.

[both laugh]

♪ I want you and only you ♪

♪ Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ♪

♪ I want you and only you... ♪

[Greg speaking]

- [laughs] You see this bread?
- Yes, I like it.

- Oh, wow.
- Instead of holding a cardboard sign, you know?

- Oh, my God.
- [Joan chuckles]

[kisses]

I love you so much, baby.

Let's get you out of here.

Oh, okay.

[both laugh]

- [Joan] Sorry, sorry, sorry.
- You can't... [laughs]

Oh, my God, baby.

- Come here.
- [Joan] Mm-hmm.

[laughs]

[both laugh]

So, baby, we got
the bread, right?

- I made you some bread. Ginger cookies.
- Wow.

[laughs] Yeah, of course.

[Joan speaking]

[Greg] Really? I was
so worried about that.

I'm not gonna lie.

[Greg] Never again. You don't
have to, baby. You don't have to.

Oh, man, I can't wait to
show you how to make bread,

- you know?
- [Joan] Mm-hmm.

Sourdough. Probably
not tonight, right?

Right now, I'm
on, like, cloud nine.

Like, seriously, I'm
up there. I'm hovering.

But I do have a realization
of what needs to be done.


I wish I could just take
her back from this airport

and go home to our own
place, our own apartment.

And I just worry about, you
know, being enough for her

and this life being
enough for her.

I can't believe
you're here, baby.

Can you believe this or what?

- [Joan] Yeah.
- [Greg laughs] You can?

[pop song playing]

[horse sighs]

[Stevi speaking]

[Mahdi speaking]

[Stevi laughs]

There's a really famous building

in... That I've seen
in, like, videos.

Is it in French...

- The French Quarter. Yeah.
- Quarter. Yes.

[Stevi] Our first
night in New Orleans


was just as good as our
first night together ever.

[Mahdi speaking]

Uh...

[both laugh]

More professional?

- Yeah.
- [Stevi] Hm.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

He's a professional
now, thanks to me.

[both laugh]

[Stevi] I was gonna
ask you last night

when we were talking,
you said something about

how it would feel if you
went back to your country.

- [Mahdi] Yeah.
- [Stevi] So you're already maybe having some doubts

that maybe you
might want to go back?

The thing is, it just
crossed my mind.

Like, I said it without
even thinking about it.

That would mean that

you shouldn't have made
this decision to begin with.

It wasn't a serious
question because...

It's serious to me.

It hurts hearing Mahdi
say that he could


possibly want to go back to Iran

because it's my understanding

that if he ever chooses
to go back home,

he may not be able to return
back to the United States.

If you're having
regrets already,


we're not gonna get through


I mean, like, it's
already happening, so...

I'm sorry if it
made you feel bad.

I would've never
asked that if I knew.

You don't go into
something if you're like,

have doubts that you might
possibly not want it later.

Right now,

you are more important
than my parents, okay?

I chose you.

But you're saying that
it could possibly change,

and you'll be willing to
go back and take that risk.

It hurts.

I miss my parents.

And if you asked me, like,
two weeks ago, I was like,

I would never go back
if I want to see them.

I think right now
it's just hard.

Maybe it'll get easier.

Maybe.

All right.

Honestly, I did have
a lot of guilt about

Mahdi leaving his family,

because I really ultimately
wanted to make sure that

that was the decision he
wanted to do before he left.

It's a lot of pressure knowing
that I have to kind of fulfill...

all the voids that
he has from leaving.

It's also really scary
when someone says, like,

if it's not enough,
then they'll go back.

You know, 'cause how can...

You can't fill that void.

[Shekinah] That's the thing I'm worried
about the most, is us having a bad fight

and I'm like, "Get
out of my place."

[Sarper's sister] Yeah.
And where he is going to go.

My friends, he can
call on them too.

[Sarper's sister speaking]

He may come back.

I definitely have
friends that would,

like, have a neutral position.

[Shekinah] Really?

[serene instrumental
music playing]

- Hello.
- [Sarper's dad] Hello.

[in Turkish]

[in English] She wanted to go to the
pool and I can't say no to her, you know.

- [Shekinah] Aww.
- [Sarper's sister] She wants to swim all the time,

and he wants to
swim all the time,

- so they're a good match.
- [Shekinah] Perfect. You guys can swim together.

- [Sarper] Yeah.
- [Shekinah] Go jump in.

I want to see you do
a cannonball, babe.

[Sarper speaking]

[Shekinah chuckles]

[Shekinah] That's your fate.

- [Sarper] Woo!
- They're so cute.

Whoa! [laughs]

Cute. She did more
of a cannonball.

Cheers, sister.

[Sarper's sister] Cheers to

- the new beginnings, let's say.
- Yeah.

How are you feeling?

- Happy, probably?
- I feel relieved,

really happy.

I feel

a little bit, like,
sad, too, and guilty,

and bad about taking
him away from you guys.

He's the only one,
and I am the only one...

- Yeah.
- In this small family.

- [Shekinah] Mm-hmm.
- Um...

I know. I hate that.

I know.

[Sarper's sister]
That's the thing, I think.

I hope they don't end
up resenting me for this.

Um...

[Shekinah] Sure.

- I get it.
- Mm-hmm.

[Sarper's sister]
Um, for us, it's really...

um, we don't feel

okay for him to be
there alone, obviously.

Like, you know,

you fight, right,
when you are here,

- and you left the house.
- [Shekinah] Yeah.

- A couple times.
- [Shekinah] Mm-hmm.

That's the thing I'm
worried about the most,

is us having a bad fight, and...

I'm like, "Get out of my place."

[Sarper's sister speaking]

He may come back.

- Yeah.
- Um...

But I want to connect
him to good people

that he feels like,

even though they're my friends,

he can call on them, too.

I definitely have
friends that would,

like, have a neutral position.

[Shekinah] Really?

But why?

Yeah.

[Shekinah] It is different,

you know, he's not making
an income in Los Angeles,

and that makes him feel
like he's not in the power seat.

And it will make him

react in a way that
he wouldn't in here.

In my experience with Sarper,

he does not handle

not being in control very well.

And he will create chaos for us

if he feels like things
aren't going his way,

or that he's not
in the driver's seat.

So I'm just worried that

him feeling out of
control in the U.S.


could cause him to just
sabotage what we have.

- [Sarper's sister] Uh, nothing.
- That's for us girls to know.

- [Sarper's sister] Yeah.
- [Sarper] Girls power.

- [Shekinah] Girl talk.
- [Sarper's sister] Girl-to-girl.

[Mina speaking]

[Mark] You know,
it's kind of more like

a convenience store. [laughs]

It's small.

It's a little
different than Paris.


- Of course. [laughs]
- [Mark laughs]

This is cream of mushroom soup.

[Joan speaking]

Yeah. And, um,

she had asked,

maybe you want to sleep
in, like, a separate room.

[Greg] Don't cry.

Okay.

- [Mina, in French]

[in English] Oh, my God.

[Mark] Baby, what's this smoke?

-[Mina speaking] -[Mark]
You burn something?

- [Mina] Goodness...
- [Mark] It's okay?

- [Mina] Yeah.
- [Mark] You find everything?

Yeah. But...

I almost did. I was gonna,

but then I got
busy in getting you.

-[Mina speaking] -[Mark] I didn't have
time. But we can go into town again.

You know, it's been 20 plus
years since I raised a baby.

So you gotta expect a few things

to slip through
the cracks, baby.

[Mina] Maria, come.

[Mark] Hm.

[Mina speaking]

I messed up.

I should have made a checklist.

I know.

[Mark chuckles softly]

[Mina speaking]

[Mark] Yeah, it's like
entrance, for privacy, you know?

[Mina] Ah, okay.

Then one time, I saw,
a bear was right here.

- Seriously?
- Yeah. He came out on the street.

I was on the velo.

I was biking, and
the bear came out.

I know this is a small town.

It's a little
different than Paris.

- Of course. [laughs]
- [Mark laughs]

No... [laughs]

No, the bears are friendly here.

-They're nice bears.
[laughs] -No, no, no, no, no.

They're nice bears.

Do you remember the place, uh,

the bacon from this morning?

- Yeah.
- I got it here.

- So they have a lot of...
- [Mina speaking]

- I hope.
- Yeah, we'll see.

- [grunts] I get Maria?
- Yeah.

[Mark] Come on, baby girl.

We'll go inside.

[exclaims]

- [Mina speaking]
- [Mark] What?

[Mina speaking]

[Mark] You know,
it's kind of more like

convenience store. [laughs]

It's small.

Come on.

We'll look for diapers for you.

- Okay.
- [Mina] Okay.

[in French]

[Mark grunts softly]

[in English] Okay.

[Mark, in French]

- [in English] Come on, Maria.
- [Mina laughs]

[Mark, in French]

[Mark laughs]

[Mina, in English]

I don't think they
have the lamb here.

- I don't... But we can check.
- [Mina] Okay.

I don't know, but glance in the fridge
back here, they might have meat.

Ah, yeah, so here
is the meat and dairy.

This is, like, frozen
stuff to reheat.

[in French]

[in English] It's a gas station.

It's a convenience store.

It's for emergency.

You just run down, you
get this, you come back.


Oh, my God.

They don't have
the fresh mushroom?

I doubt it. These are,
like, canned. You know?

I don't even think
they have mush...

This is cream of mushroom soup.

- [Mina speaking]
- [woman] Hello.

- [Mark] Hey, how you doing today?
- [woman] Good, how are you?

- [Mark] Good, good, thank you.
- [woman] Find everything okay?

[Mark] I think so. But
you didn't have any...

You don't have
lamb here, do you?

- A what?
- [Mark] Like lamb chops

- or anything like that? Yeah.
- No, nothing like that.

- [Mark] I didn't think so, but we were just checking.
- [Mina speaking]

No.

That's the first time anybody's
ever asked me for that.

- [Mark] That's all right, we'll go another...
- [Mina] Okay.

- [Mark] Wait. We have to pay Maria.
- [Maria whines]

- [Mark] Wait, I have to pay, I give it back.
- [Maria screams]

- [Mark] Thank you.
- [Mina] Thank you.

- [woman] You're welcome.
- [Mark] All right.

We go back home, and
we change your diaper.

- Mama's got diapers for you.
- [Mina] Thank you.

[Mina] Massachesett.

[chuckles] I like this name.

What name?

Massachesett.

Where do you see "Massachesett"?

Massachesett.

- Massachesett.
- Oh, Manchester.

Not Manchester.

Then where?

- I seen the...
- The sign?

Yeah, it's said
Massachesett... [mumbles]

- I don't know.
- Massachusetts.

- Yes.
- This is a state, Massachusetts.

- Thank you. No, thank you.
- How do you say that again?

-No. -Massachesett... [mumbles]

Okay.

Oh, my God.

Okay.

[Mark, in English] Everything
in here has a bear on it.

[Mina speaking]

[Mark] It's cool.

- [man] Can I help you find anything?
- [Mark] Sorry.

-[Maria cries] -Yeah, so they
just moved here from France.

And we didn't move everything.

So we need a, you
know, a baby high chair

for her to eat.

Do you have anything like that?

Nothing specifically

- for babies like that.
- For a baby.

- For a toddler, I guess.
- [man] Yeah.

We've got counter stools
and bar stools, but...

Not... Yeah, we don't do much

- for the baby furniture here.
- [Mina] Okay.

But take a look around...

- [Mark] Yeah.
- And if you see anything else,

just give a holler, okay?

Yeah, we'll look around. I
might be able to convince her.

[man] Okay.

[in French]

[in English]

[Mark] What do you
think? Anything you like?

- No. Let's go.
- [Mark] Anything you want to get? No?

[Greg] This is America,
baby, this is America.

Look at all the grass.

Everything, right?
No fruit trees though.

I never said, it

[Joan speaking]

[in sing-song] I'm in America.

♪ New York, New York

♪ New York, New York ♪

♪ New York, New York ♪

[Greg] And welcome to New York.

We have a beautiful
skyline in front of us.

And if you look to your right,

you will see, uh,
I don't even know.

Just an empty space or a road.

[both laugh]

So, I mean, I have so many
people who wanna meet you though,

very seriously, so many people.

- [Joan speaking]
- Yeah.

She's really
excited to meet you,

you're gonna be
meeting her soon.

So, we were having a conversation
about, uh, you coming here.

And, um, you know,

one thing she... we were
talking about is just, like,

obviously us getting
intimate, making love.

And she was very concerned,

because she doesn't wanna hear
noises and all these crazy things.

It's not that I got into, like,

raw details about everything.

Like, you know what I mean?

But you know,
the whole situation

as far as my mom
not wanting to hear

what's going on between us.

You know what I mean?

I told her, I was like, "Listen,
I hear you, I understand."

And she had asked

if it was possible...
Oh, my God, um...

Maybe you wanted to sleep
in, like, a separate room?

No, I don't, I, I don't
want you to, you know?

Maybe we can compromise
on something with my mom,

like, leaving the door open?

Obviously, when we go
to sleep and she's in bed,

we're closing the door,

like, that's gonna happen,
you know what I mean?

But, like, during the day,

- if we're home and she's home...
- [Joan] So... so...

she doesn't want
us, like, going upstairs

and, and fooling
around, you know?

Like, I don't know, I just don't wanna
disrespect my mom in her house.

And I completely
understand that.

You know what I mean?

But listen, going into this,
like, I hope you're not mad or,

- you know what I mean, don't be, like, sour...
- No.

Or, you know...

Don't cry. [chuckles
softly] It's fine.

[Joan speaking]

Are you really crying?

- Come on, baby.
- [Joan speaking]

About what? Coming back to my
mom's house and having to deal with...

Yeah.

[Greg] I feel so bad about that.

I mean, I know she's tired.
I know she's exhausted.


She's feeling extremely vulnerable
at this point, I can imagine.

So, I wanted this just, day
to just go smooth, you know?

And, and the fact that
now she's feeling like this,


it's not what I expected at all.

It's, it's a pretty
stressful situation.

Like, I don't...

There's no words to describe
what I'm feeling right now.

It's gonna be all right, baby.

It's gonna be good, don't worry.

I can feel the
freedom. [chuckles]

[Stevi] Watching Mahdi
walk around New Orleans


is like when you bring
a kid to Disneyland

and they're, like,
overstimulated.

- Would you see these in your country?
- Never.

[Stevi] Oh, my gosh.

Look at the street
performer across the street.

[Stevi] Yeah.

How do you feel?

[Mahdi speaking]

Should I hold your bag?

[Mahdi] No, I'm fine.

- [Stevi speaking]
- [Mahdi] It's amazing.

[Stevi] I told you it was good.

When I had the first
bite, I was like, boom!

I've never had
anything close to it.


I really hope that all
American snack and food

do not taste and
feel like beignets,

because if that's the case,

I think I'm gonna
gain so much weight.

I wish I could send one of
these to my family in Iran.

- Do you need these?
- [Stevi] Do I?

[Mahdi] Yeah.

[Stevi] Would you see
these in your country?

Never. Not, not,
not even the picture.

- Like...
- Nothing. Like the head.

I mean, you can't see the head.

[Stevi] Oh, my gosh.

[Stevi] I swear he is.
Do you want a picture?

No? Don't wanna see a mime?

Yeah.

Watching Mahdi walk
around New Orleans

is like when you bring
a kid to Disneyland,

and they're, like, overstimulated
by everything that they see.

[laughs] And I feel like Mahdi
didn't know which way to look


or what to look at

or what was
appropriate to look at.

[Stevi] Tonight.

[Mahdi] Huh?

- [Stevi] Oh.
- [Mahdi speaking]

Oh, beads, yes.

Seeing people singing

and dancing,
like, on the street,

it just feels weird,

because if you do that in Iran,

like, they can arrest
you. Did you know that?

- For dancing?
- For dancing, for, like, singing.

I can feel the
freedom. [chuckles]

- Yeah, obviously, here.
- Yeah.

Did you know that you
can't do that in Iran too?

- [Stevi laughs] What?
- You can't have your, uh, dog...

- [Stevi] On a leash?
- Even on a leash.

[Stevi] Well, where are
you supposed to keep it?

- I don't know, at home?
- [Stevi] Mmm.

I feel like everything
has changed.

Forty eight hours
ago, I was in Iran.

Everything was, like,
like, you're really, um...

[clicks tongue]

- I have to be... Hold on.
- [Stevi] Careful?

Yeah, I have to be
careful about the words.

Um...

I know, but I'm worried
about my family.

- It's not comparable.
- Yep.

[Stevi] Are you
ready to go home?

[Mahdi] Is it gonna be
way different than here?

Oh, yeah, for sure.

I feel like I had a,
uh, sunglasses in Iran

that I could see
everything darker.

But here everything looks
more colorful and livable.


I can totally feel
the freedom here.

I'm so sad to leave you guys.

[Serpil speaking Turkish]

How are you feeling, babe?

I think it's a little
overly dramatic,

because you're a grown man.

[speaking Spanish]

[Any speaking Spanish]

[in English]

- [Serpil speaking Turkish]
- [Serkan speaking Turkish]

We're gonna leave, I'm
so sad to leave you guys.

[Serkan speaking Turkish]

[Sarper] Take care.

- [Serpil speaking Turkish]
- [Sheckinah speaking Turkish]

[Serpil in English] Daughter.

- [Serpil speaking Turkish]
- [Sarper speaking Turkish]

[Serpil speaking Turkish]

Sarper and I are headed
back to Istanbul this morning

and saying goodbye to his family

at the summer cottage.

This has been a very hard visit.

It's been really heavy feeling.

And, you know, we
delivered news to his family


that made them feel so sad.

[Serpil speaking Turkish]

[Sheckinah] How
are you feeling, babe?

- You feel confused?
- [Sarper speaking]

- Honestly?
- [Sarper speaking]

I think it's a little
overly dramatic,

because you're a grown man.

And it kinda seems like

you're attached to the
hip with your parents,

and, like, you have never
been away from them before.

[Sarper speaking]

But you have me now.

- I'm your family now.
- [Sarper speaking] Yeah.

You don't need to
choose me over them.

Like I said, you're a grown-up.

I've raised her to
be very independent.

Look at my family.

I mean, how supportive
they are in any condition.

And Sheckinah's family is
not supporting her enough,


and it's a big contrast.

[Sheckinah] It's not that sweet.

[Sarper] Hey. [chuckles softly]

- You think I will miss this?
- [Sarper speaking]

The only thing I
would miss is you,

and I'm taking you with me, so.

The beginning of a
new chapter, not the end.

- Forget about them, who cares?
- [Sarper speaking]

You're so dramatic.

[Sheckinah chuckles] Okay.

[sighs]

[Sheckinah] I can hear you.

I just let her know
that we just crossed.

She said she'd been
waiting for us all day.

So, we're going to
downtown Tijuana.

I think there is, like,
a festival going on

for the Day of the Dead.

It's probably a party.

I got this one for you.

I got this one to
match, like, my dress.

Ta-da.

Who are you and what
did you do with my wife?

[Amani speaking]

It is a day to remember those
in your family who have passed.

Aw, that sounds sad.

It's not sad. It's
supposed to be happy.

I always see that
she puts effort

into how she looks
before she sees us.

It's cute.

- She's always dressed up for us.
- 'Cause I know I do that too

when I care, you know?

With her being so mysterious,

and you know, we're
showing up in masks, like,

it's fun, it's like
it's a little chase.

Oh, my gosh, it's almost
time. We're getting so close.

- Every second goes by is a step closer to see Any.
- Mmm-hmm.

[Amani] That excitement
never goes away.


Every time we're
going to see Any,

even if she goes to
the store and back,

we're excited to
see her, seriously.

We're like a dog.

- Yes!
- Been gone forever.

They're not in their own place,

consider me here.

I talked to her about
sleeping in separate rooms.

I mean, she was really
upset, you know what I mean?

She came here to be with me,

and it really hit her
hard and I don't know.

[sniffles]

- [Greg speaking]
- [Joan speaking]

Here's some French
fries, chicken wrap.

[chuckles softly]

So, I make all of
this from scratch.

You know, cut the potatoes,

I can't wait to
introduce you to Mom.

[Joan speaking]

[Greg] Oh, yeah.

[Greg] Yeah, yeah.

- [Greg] Yeah.
- Okay.

- [Greg] Mom?
- [woman] Yeah?

Finally. What time is it?

- 9:45 p.m.
- [Greg] Yeah.

- [woman] Hello.
- [chuckles softly]

Oh, my God.

- All the way.
- [Greg chuckling] Come.

All the way 7,000 miles.

Hi. How are you?

[Joan] I'm good.

Yeah? Aw.

How was your trip?

- [woman] Aw.
- We're so tired.

[woman] I see it in your eyes.

- You look so tired.
- Yes.

- But you made it. I can't believe it.
- [Joan] Yeah.

[dog barks]

[woman] Oh, that's the dog.

- [Greg] That's Daisy, yeah...
- [woman] Good Daisy, yeah.

[Greg] What do you think,
Mom? More beautiful in person?

She's beautiful, right?

[all chuckling]

[chuckling] Not for
long, being thin, right?

Joan seems very shy,

and very clingy with Gregory.

Are you guys hungry?

- You want to eat or...?
- [Joan speaking]

Yeah.

We were gonna sit
and talk over dinner.


[Greg] So just real quick.

This is the bathroom over here.

Okay?

There's things that has to
be, uh, put out there, you know,

on the table.

And just, um...

think that they're not in
their own place, and, um...

they have to consider me here.

[Greg straining] Oh, my.
What've you got in here? Bricks?

- Wow.
- [Greg] The unorganized room.

Yeah, so it could be cleaner.

I don't know. My
mom put it up there.

I just never really
took it down.

I guess I kind of just
like the dogs, you know.

They're adorable.

This is obviously the bed.

You know? And this...

We're gonna have
to clear this out.

Maybe you can help me.

Obviously, you
can have either side.

What do you think?

[Greg] In reality,
I did clean...

a good portion of it,

but my mom came in and just...

- [Joan speaking]
- [Greg] Yeah.

What do you think?

[Daisy growling]

[Joan speaking]

She jumped up. Yeah, it's Daisy.

-She jumped up.
[chuckles] -[Joan speaking]

[both chuckle]

Daisy, you gotta get down.

I'm sorry.

She's freaking out.

All right. So, yeah,
baby, this is it.

I like the bed.

- No, no. [chuckling]
- [Daisy growling]

[chuckling] Yeah.

- [Joan] Ugh.
- [both chuckling]

[Greg speaking]

You wanna take a shower?

Okay.

[Joan] I'm so happy to
finally be here with my fiance,


but everything here
is very complicated.

We have to be in
his mother's house,


us and two dogs.

And we have to follow
his mother's rules, so...

I think I'm going
to need more time

to be comfortable with
everybody at the house,

especially Mrs. Lucille.

[Greg sighs]

- Hi, Mom.
- [Lucille] Greg? Hi.

So how'd it go?

[Greg] So we were up there,

and, uh, we were just hanging
out, and all of a sudden,

Daisy just jumped right on the
bed, and she was just like, "What?"

Like, she doesn't want to
dog on the bed, you know?

Oh, no. You're gonna
have to push back

- a little on that, Gregory.
- [Greg laughs]

We'll see what happens.
We'll see what happens.

[Lucille] And look at their
paws, how clean they are.

[Greg chuckles]

[sighs wearily]

What'd she do? Go... Collapse?

She went in the shower.
She wants to go take a shower.

Yeah, I know. She
should be out now, right?

-I mean... -No, I think,
she's probably still in.

So, I don't know, I talked to her
about sleeping in separate rooms.

I mean, she was really upset.

I mean, I guess
in her perspective,

it's like, you know what I mean,
she came here to be with me,

you know? I mean,
it's not only that,

it's like she's afraid
of the dark, you know,

and I don't blame her.

She's afraid of the dark?

Yeah, well, dark is different
over there, you know what I mean?

There's no lights,
and, like, it's not easy.

You know, you could wake
up in the middle of the night

- and there's no power, you know.
- Oh, okay. So...

[Greg] And she was kind
of nervous to meet you.

Like, she was really nervous
to meet you because of all that,

and it really hit her
hard, and I don't know.

I just can't wait
to just hold her,

really, just every
day. I don't know.

[sniffles]

- Oh, [bleep].
- [Lucille] It's okay, Greg.

I was just getting
emotional about, you know,

just not being, I guess,
good enough, uh...

It's not that I'm not
good enough for her,

but just the fact
that I never want


to make her regret the sacrifice
she's given to come here.

And you know, I don't want her to
ever think that it's a waste of time

to come here and...

you know, give me the
opportunity that she has in her life.

I just love her so much.

- I really do.
- [Lucille] Yeah.

I mean, we can make the
compromise, leaving the door open.

- All right.
- [Greg] But...

you know...

I know.

Okay... Thank you, Mom.

Tell us... we'll not... we'll
respect you 100 percent.

I hope so.

Gregory is, um... emotional,

but I never see
him break down...

like that, really, ever.

[Greg] That's it. I don't
know. I gotta get some sleep.

Okay.

Yeah, you better.

[Greg] Thank you, Mom.

[Lucille] So, there
is a little fear.


Gregory seems very happy today,

very elated that
she's here and...

I'm hoping that she feels

just as much for him
as he does for her.


It usually works
out better that way.

My daughter already has a bad
impression of you from my family.

I can't marry someone
she doesn't like.

[Shekinah] No, I'm serious.

This is what I am.

I'm an as*h*le
sometimes, but I'm cute.

Don't be an as*h*le
in front of her.

[Sarper speaking]

I turned you from a [bleep] boy
into a real man. That's what I did.

[chuckling] Okay, babe.

[Shekinah] Today is the big day.

We're finally leaving Istanbul,

and Sarper is coming to
the United States with me.

We're taking half
of my house with us.

I know, but three
of these are mine.

- [Sarper] Three of these are yours?
- [chuckling] I know.

I'm coming to US permanently...

- [Shekinah] I know, babe.
- And three of them are yours.

I'm leaving everything
behind, my cozy apartment,


many memories with
Shekinah, my love.

It's been a long journey for me,

and living there,

setting up... up our
life there by my own...

Ultimately, it's the
apartment or me,

so I'm glad you chose me.

- Yeah.
- Thanks, babe.

No.

Babe, I want to talk
to you really quick

before we go about one thing,

and it is really important.

- What's that?
- [Shekinah] I just

can't help but think about

how bad it went with Shariyah.

- Yeah.
- [Shekinah] And...

it just can't go like that
with Sofie, you know.

I do worry that
my daughter, Sofie

won't be able to make
an unbiased decision


about what she
thinks about Sarper


because of what
she's heard happened

when my sister Shariyah
came to Turkey to meet Sarper.

I want always to debate
these issues face to face.

If she's texting,

she acts like a sl*t, you know?

- [Shekinah] Wait, what?
- "sl*t."

[Shariyah] What I see from him

is someone who
wants to have control.

He wants to tell you the way

- it's gonna be.
- It wasn't his best night.

I don't look at it that way.

[Shekinah] Sofie has
never met Sarper before.


And it's really important to me

for my daughter to see me

in a happy and
healthy relationship,

and it's important to
me that she likes him.

My daughter already has a bad
impression of you from my family.

You need to really think about
everything you say because...

if she doesn't like you,

I can't marry someone
she doesn't like.

That's my daughter.

[Shekinah] No, I'm serious.

- Well, I think it's good for you...
- [Sarper] Look at this.

- [Shekinah]...to think about before we leave.
- Look at us.

- You have to think about this stuff.
- [Sarper] Okay. No problem.

That's how you think about it?

If you don't marry with me,

then I'll have to come back.

Why don't you just
say something like,

"She's gonna love me.
I'm gonna do my best."?

She's gonna love
me. I will do my best.

Of course, I will do my best.

But what do you want me to do?

I cannot do extra than
my character, you know?

What... This is what I am.

I'm an as*h*le
sometimes, but I'm cute.

Don't be an as*h*le
in front of her.

- That's all I have to say.
- Okay. Only cute. Only cute.

Only be cute, please.

[Sarper] I don't
want our destiny


or fate of our
relationship be on her lips.

"Ah, I don't like Sarper,

so I don't want you
to marry, Mama."

I mean, it's not fair.

- [doorbell chiming]
- Oh, my God.

I think they are here.

[Shekinah] How are we
gonna push all of these?

[Sarper speaking]

[Serpil speaking Turkish]

[both in Turkish]

- [Shekinah in English] Hi.
- [Serkan in English] Hi.

[speaking Turkish]

- How are you, Baba?
- [in English] Thank you.

- Hi, Anne.
- [Serpil] Hello.

[in Turkish]

[in Turkish]

[in English] Driving
to the airport,


everything is surreal.

I have to be so excited,

I'm going to a new
country with the girl I love

to set up a new life with her,

but I'm not

because I'm leaving
everything behind,

including my parents.

[in Turkish]

[in English] Okay.

[Shekinah sobbing]

[in Turkish]

[Shekinah in English]
Are you okay, babe?

Aw.

[Sarper] Right now, I'm walking
away from my parents, and it's...


so heartbreaking, you know?

I wish I could
take them with me.

They said everything
will be okay,


but they cannot know it.

And I hate the feeling
of, if something happens


and if I don't know.

That would
probably k*ll me, so...

[Shekinah] Are you okay?

[Sarper] I am, babe. [sniffles]

Let's go.

[Mark] I can't wait to
take you to see the family,

to see Jordan,
and talk with her...

No, no, no, no.
You're not enemies.

Her concern is just about...

"Does Dad really need
to have more kids?"

Don't cry.

[Mina speaking]

- No, no, no, no.
- [hisses]

south to see the family.

You know, I want you to
see Jordan and talk with her,

- more than in Paris for the weekend...
- Yeah.

It's important to me that
you and Jordan, uh, get along,

- and you're her stepmother, you know?
- Yeah. [chuckles]

[Mark] I know,
'cause she's 27, but...

it's important, uh, we get that
relationship going, you know?

Yeah, I know.

You know, Mina already not
adjusting to New Hampshire,

is starting to stress
me out a little bit.

But, you know, even beyond that,

I'm a little worried about how
she's gonna fit into the family.

I know my daughter,
Jordan, has a lot of concerns


and, you know, that's been
weighing on me tremendously.

No, there's no competition.

It's different...

There's room for both of you.

I love you both. I'm not
gonna stop loving you both.

She has concerns.

[Mark] You know,
there's a big age gap,

and because she was only
around you that one weekend.

So are you marrying me for
love or just to come to the USA?

No, no, no, no.
You're not enemies.

Give her a chance to
know you and love you.

Every time was
one time in Paris,

one time in Paris,

for the baby baptism.

She was mad about you guys,

not having more time
together, but this is...

Me and her are very
close... father daughter.

- [Mina] Mmm-hmm.
- So her concern is just about...

"Does Dad really need
to have more kids?"

Obviously, we have a
baby together, you know.

Baby, I'm sorry. Don't cry.

[sniffles]

Baby, come on, stop it!

[Mark] I don't like
you when you cry.

[voice shaking] No,
because... you know...

- No, no, no, no.
- [hisses]

Don't compare my... Don't...

My daughter is not a snake.

She... My daughter is...

Right now, this is
your impression.

This is your impression.

I know you listen to Jordan.

Of course I do.
She's my daughter.

- But I listen to you...
- No.

I listen to you...

Listen, I'm just
gonna say this again,

so I hope you understand.

She only wants to be sure
I'm not making a mistake.

- Are you serious?
- Yeah.

Come on, babe.

- Seriously?
- [Mina speaking]

[bleeping]

[Stevi speaking]

Next time on 90 Day Fiance...

I'm really hoping Mahdi
will feel at home here.

[Mahdi] Oh, my God.

I see boobs everywhere.

Like, boobs, boobs, boobs.

I swear, I didn't know you
were, like, doing this a lot.

Coming from a
country that you might


get arrested if you have

a naked girl picture...

Oh, my God, I can't wait
to squeeze that booty.

[motor whirring]

[Greg speaking]

Hi, Greg!

[Shawn] Douglas is very
sweet and very shy and simple.


But now, everything is
a different playing field.

Alliya was born,

so there is no more Douglas.

[Alliya speaking]

When Alliya shows
up at the interview

and they're expecting a Douglas,

that could be the end of our
journey right then and there.

I can't imagine
how painful it can be

to have to pretend
to be another person.

[sobbing]

[Amani] Wait,
that's not her, is it?

Ah! Let's go, let's
go, let's go, let's go!

[Amani] It's so hard
already to find your person,


let alone find the third person.

So, there's so much to lose.

[moans softly]

[Mark] How have you
been? It's been a while.

If he makes you happy,

his daughter loses.

If he says "We have no
more babies," you lose.

Maybe I made a mistake coming
to live with Mark in America.

[Jessica] You haven't
answered my questions yet.

What happened on the cruise?

[Jessica] On his last cruise,

he allegedly cheated
with a woman.

Girls have intuition,

and I want honesty from Juan.

Did you sleep with that girl?
