Oh, my God, this is so romantic!

[Ziad] Yep.

[Lisa] Previously on "Before the 90 Days."

[Emma speaking]

...I've been lied to a lot.

Do you not care about my past?

I really wanna be able to tell Ziad

about my last engagement.

But this does make me wonder

if Ziad just doesn't want to talk

about the past because he has something that he doesn't want

to tell me.

Hey, boo, it's your wife.

[Jovon] Annalyn and I have been married for three years.

And now I'm leaving for the Philippines tomorrow

to meet her for the first time in person.

But lately, it feels like we're fighting more

than we're getting along.

[Annalyn speaking]

[Birkan speaking]

Why don't you go some sleep and...

[Laura] I don't know what's happening.

It was, like, great when we first met,

but now I feel like there's something really wrong.

Maybe he's just not attracted to me in person.

It's freaking me out.

You lied about the fact you've been married to women

several times.

Well, I'm gonna come clean on this trip.

I'm not gonna accept the marriage proposal

until we have this conversation.

[Daniel speaks]

You were giving your parents money.

Why did you not tell us?

[Sheena crying]

It's hard to say no to a parent, especially when --

yeah, especially, um --

He's just got the blinders on,

and I will not stop trying to find out why she lied.

♪ I'm gonna break the rules... ♪

[singing in Tagalog]

[upbeat music plays]

Wow, look at all the clothes.

Oh, yeah.

[Sheena] Check what you want...

[singing in Tagalog]

Hey, Sheen. -Yeah.

What do you think of these?

-Oh, you want to get that? -Yeah, maybe.

[Sheena] Oh...

How do you think it looks on me?

[Sheen giggles] Looks like...

[both laugh]

I've been in the Philippines for a couple days now,

and despite all the drama, being with Sheena every day

is amazing.

-Thank you, thank you. -Thank you so much.

Yeah, thanks.

What is stuff you need?

I kind of need some shorts.

-Mm-hmm. -Well, I like that.

Yeah, that's cool.

Going out and eating food, sharing meals,

holding hands, kissing her,

it's just something I've been wanting my entire life.

-Make sure you're holding me. -Yeah, I'm holding you.

-Make sure you're holding me. -Yeah, I'm holding you.

-OK, there we go. -Does it fit?

Uh...

Oh, it's a little bit small.

-Mnh-mnh. -OK.

OK. Sorry, that's too sad.

I'm sorry, I'm a giant man.

I kind of packed really light, since Sheena was going on

and on about how easy and cheap it is to go and get clothes

here in the Philippines.

Turns out, you can find clothes.

It's just,

I'm a big man.

Yeah, if she has some T-shirts, we'd like to check that out.

[Sheena speaks Tagalog]

[Sheena] Nah, that's too small.

Man, why do I have to be so ginormous?

Forrest, he's around like 6'2" or 6'3".

It's not too common to have a height like

that here in my country.

My previous partner, that was around, like, 5' or 5'2",

but for me, Forrest...

Wow, you look like a macho.

You look like a professional guy.

-You look like a tennis player. -Yeah.

-It's too tight. -It's too tight?

Oh.

So, yeah, we'll just look somewhere else.

Yeah.

Right now, I'm kind of regretting bringing

just a backpack with a couple fresh shirts

and a pair of undies on my multi-week trip

here in the Philippines.

But, thank goodness, I was able to find

some banana hammock underwear.

Hopefully, I get to try those on later.

You never know.

Hey, baby. It's so hot.

You know, maybe I'll just take a sit real quick.

OK.

-Let's take a seat. -Yeah.

[Forrest] I'm really grateful to have this alone time with Sheena.

Since my mom and my stepdad, Dev, joined me on this trip

to the Philippines, it's been kind of hard to come by.

And, unfortunately, having them around has not been

rose petals and unicorns.

So, Sheena, how are you feeling after last night?

I'm actually better now,

so you don't have any problem with that.

[Forrest] Last night, my mom confronted Sheena about lying

and giving the money to her parents

and not actually saving anything.

I feel bad about how ugly things got, but I'm very glad

Sheena agreed to finally confront her parents

about this issue and kind of get the ball rolling.

The big issue next is to take you to meet up

with your parents and confront them about, you know,

the money issues and everything.

I believe that after everything, the last seven years,

cutting off your family is the only thing we can do.

It's time to be independent, trying to be strong,

and I'm gonna be behind you and be your backbone

every step of the way.

I understand that, babe.

This is the best thing that I could do.

I would plan a meeting for you

so you could explain to them the situation that --

Sheena,

why didn't you explain this to me beforehand?

Why didn't you just come out and tell me?

[Sheena] It's complicated.

Sheena has never told me that I need her parents' approval

to marry her.

I feel like after everything I've heard about them

and how they have been mistreating Sheena,

I don't believe that I need their blessing at all.

So now I have to go and get their approval

while I have to tell them

that their days are basically numbered

with getting money away from their daughter,

this does not sound like an easy task.

Also, what happened last night with talking with your mom,

I have been thinking about,, what if we could meet,

you could meet my parents first, personally,

before we introduce your parents?

[tense music plays]

So you think that we should have me come see your parents

a day ahead of my parents?

[Sheena] I think it's the best way to meet everyone.

Well, Sheena,

all right.

But my mom is definitely going to blow her lid.

She's not gonna take this too well.

I know, babe. I understand about that.

My mom's pretty much going to freak out

and really think now

that Sheena is cutting my mom out of the situation.

She already doesn't trust Sheena, and I believe

that this is just going to make things worse, and I'm scared.

[Lisa speaks]

Don't wear a strapless bra on a flight

that's gonna take two days.

I'm ready to whip them out, fling them around,

get some air, do whatever needs to be done with my titties,

because they're hurting.

[singing]

[Daniel sighs] Today's my big day.

Oh, my God.

Where should I put this?

[Daniel speaks]

Oh, my God.

I...

[Lisa] So we have begun to descend.

I have to do a happy dance!

I have to do a happy dance! I'm so excited!

I'm finally gonna meet Daniel for the first time!

But I'm nervous because there's so much to tell him,

like the fact that I'm still married to a woman

and that I've been with women for the past 21 years.

Oh, my gosh!

I am so ready for this to come to fruition!

I want to marry Daniel, but I promised my daughter,

Faith, I wouldn't get married while I'm in Nigeria,

and that I will tell him about my past before getting engaged.

But I don't want to tell him everything right away.

I want to get comfortable with him and eventually open up

when the time is right.

Oh, touch down!

[giggles]

[mouthing]

[anticipatory music plays]

Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

[Lisa] I'm so nervous I feel like...

a drowned rat, from the heat and the humidity.

I did not sleep at all on the plane,

and my nerves are just going crazy.

I'm feeling really self-conscious right now.

Oh, my God.

I think he's gonna be as handsome as ever.

And I think he's gonna look at me and say,

"Oh my God, she's older than I thought she was."

'Cause everything, with this heat,

I can't camouflage anything.

And my age of 52 is showing today.

Oh, God.

It was such a long flight.

The bags are under my eyes,

and the wrinkles are in my forehead.

Normally, when I talk to Daniel on video,

I have the opportunity of getting my makeup perfect,

getting my lighting just so,

putting my camera angle just where it needs to be,

and trying to be perfect.

I don't feel perfect right now.

Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye.

There.

I'm getting it.

I have a million thoughts going through my mind right now.

How am I going to be able to keep all these promises

I made to Faith?

What if I come clean about my past and he just leaves me

stranded in a foreign country?

And then, my worst nightmare.

What If I'm not what he expected?

I'm terrified.

I'm afraid he's gonna reject me.

And if he rejects me, it's all for nothing.

I am here. I am waiting.

I'm done, I'm done. I'm done.

All right, here we go.

Trying to get comfortable, man.

Oh, hey, hey, don't you get comfortable!

I know, man.

Cute, sexy.

[Annalyn] Jovon and I had a fight

because he told me that he's been talking to this woman.

But we have some problems

that are way worse than this.

[Susana speaks in Tagalog]

[Laura speaks]

OK.

[Laura] The thing I have planned today

is probably the least romantic and the most awkward date

we could have on my second day here in Türkiye.

-Are you nervous? -A little bit, yeah, actually.

[Jovon sighs]

No, I'm just trying to get comfortable, man.

Oh, hey, hey, don't you get comfortable.

I know, man.

The only time you gonna be comfortable is

when your ass asleep.

[Nick speaks]

All right. Love you too, man.

-Have a safe trip, man. -Yeah.

Just arrived at the airport, you know, ready to see

my lovely wife, Anna.

Yeah, man, I'm excited.

This is it.

Today's the day I fly to the Philippines to meet my wife

for the first time in person.

I just got past checkpoint

and, you know, I'm heading to my gate right now.

I got a long flight ahead of me.

But I'm one step closer to seeing Anna.

♪ I take this heart made for my... ♪

[Jovon] This trip for me determines my future with Annalyn,

because if it doesn't go well,

I need to figure out what that means for this relationship.

I really do love her,

so I'm praying that this marriage

wasn't a huge mistake.

♪ Call you a hit-and-run, so call that time of night ♪

[singing in Tagalog]

Cute.

Sexy.

Oh...

Hey, Jovon, it's me, your wifey.

[laughs]

[singing in Tagalog]

I'm Annalyn.

I'm 38 years old from Cavite, Philippines.

I've always been, I would say, bubbly, happy person,

talkative, but there's also a hardworking part of me

as well.

I went to university and I studied mass communication

because I like talking, sometimes a lot.

But I decided to stop working full time because Jovon and I

are on opposite time zones, so I have to change

my sleep schedule.

And that has made it really difficult to keep up

any kind of job.

Thankfully, Jovon sends me $400 to $500 once a month.

[speaking in Tagalog]

My mom and I live next to each other,

and she has a small store.

[speaking in Tagalog]

I feel like we're more like best friends,

but she's a very timid, shy woman,

and I'm more like...

Ey! [laughs]

[speaking in Tagalog]

Ah, wow!

This will be the first time that we get to spend time

together physically, and intimacy-wise,

we'll be able to discover a lot more about each other.

So, yeah, good luck to us.

[speaking in Tagalog]

Jovon and I had a fight recently because he told me

that he's been talking to this woman that he used to have

feelings for.

Even though we talk about it,

I feel like he still doesn't understand

why it feels like a betrayal to me.

But at the same time,

At the same time, Jovon and I have some problems

that are way, way worse than this.

[speaking in Tagalog]

Jovon and I have a lot of struggles and at times

we fight a lot.

...but how I see it is that he's the one that really changed.

What happened was, after we got married...

Suddenly you have this idea in your head

that I should be like this as a woman.

Like, what the hell?

We were not like this before.

I feel like he's trying to change me

to a person that I'm not.

He thinks that even if I don't agree with him,

I should just be quiet.

And I'm a type of woman that I just don't agree.

I question things.

[speaking in Tagalog]

I love Jovon, and I know he loves me,

but my biggest fear is Jovon will come here

and we can't get along.

But it's not like I'm meeting a boyfriend,

I'm meeting a husband.

I can't just, you know, give up after everything I did

for six years.

If we can't resolve our issues and we fight the whole time,

what am I gonna do?

[speaking in Tagalog]

[middle eastern music plays]

To be completely honest, I was really frustrated,

disappointed, because I went to bed alone.

When I got here, there were lots of moments where it felt

really awkward, like we were

not sure what to say.

I internalized those things, and so last night, I decided

to go out into the living room and see if I could have

a little bit of a conversation with Birkan.

I felt really disconnected that whole first day.

Mm.

I wanted to give you some space, so...

But at the time, I'm thinking,

"Oh, [bleep] my worst fear."

That he's just not attracted to me in person

has just come true.

Yeah, we ended up, like, making out pretty good.

We have time to explore this further as we get to know

each other better.

But, you know, I am still kind of feeling a little,

like, unsure about the situation because...

And also, I am worried

because we have some things to do later today

that I'm really anxious about.

[Laura speaks]

[Birkan] Yeah.

I feel like he's crying on us.

OK.

I think this is where we're going.

OK.

The thing I have planned today is probably the least romantic

and the most awkward date we could have on my second day

here in Türkiye.

-[Laura] Hello. -[woman] Hi.

[Laura] Oh, hi, kitty.

-You must be Laura? -Yeah.

-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.

-Please take a seat. -OK.

Thank you.

Before I came to Türkiye, I had been researching

skin removal surgery,

and Türkiye has such high-quality plastic surgeons.

So fortunately, I was able to secure an appointment

with one, but unfortunately,

the only appointment they had was for today.

[bleep], so awkward.

-Are you nervous? -A little bit, yeah, actually.

So you want me to come inside with you,

or you want to do it alone?

If you want to come, you can.

OK.

A few weeks ago, I asked Birkan to come with me

because I kind of wanna see how our future could look together

as someone who's supposed to support me.

But now I kind of think it just feels weird.

Even though we made out last night,

I am still feeling insecure

about how he actually perceives me physically.

Is he attracted or not?

[Birkan] Laura thinks too much about her appearance.

It is a curse that you always try to be perfect,

but nobody's perfect.

-Hi. -You must be Laura.

-I am. -Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you. -Birkan?

-Nice to meet you. -Yeah, thank you, thank you.

Please take your seats. OK.

So I'm Dr. Ömer.

I'm a board-certified plastic surgeon.

How can I help you?

Um, I have recently lost 140 pounds,

and so I have some, like, loose skin in places

that I am looking to have removed.

Which areas bothers you the most?

Mainly, like in my stomach area.

-The stomach part. -My least confident spot.

[Ömer] uh-huh.

-So I will take you to the studio. -OK.

That's fine.

And then you can ask your questions.

OK, I love that.

And we can figure out a treatment plan for you.

-I love that. -All right.

Thank you very much.

Just knock the door when you're ready.

-OK. -I will come in.

-Thank you. -All right.

Can I?

[nurse] For sure you can.

-I'm sorry. -[laughing]

[Birkan speaks]

[Laura] I guess at least you're having fun.

[Ömer] Perfect.

This is going to be enough for me.

Can you come closer to the background?

-Come closer? -Perfect.

-A little bit more. -OK.

Yeah, so this is the area that I...

-Yeah, I gotta it. -...want to look at.

-I got it. -OK.

-Perfect. -Ooh!

-Nothing is...seen. -OK.

Perfect.

All right.

OK. Just a few pictures.

-OK. -And it will be over.

Your arms will be on your back, exactly like that.

-Thank you very much. -Mm-hmm.

So...

[Laura] I feel really awkward

because my stomach area is my biggest insecurity.

[Ömer] Perfect.

Same thing to the other side.

I have worked my ass off, literally and figuratively.

And the fact that I still have the loose skin,

it's been really hard.

Thank you very much. That's great.

When I look in the mirror, I don't want to see myself

at 315 pounds anymore.

I want to see myself now

and the work that I've put in.

Oh, OK.

So, uh...

So the problem at the tummy part is actually really common

after losing so much weight. -OK, yeah.

I will just show you some pictures.

[tense music plays]

[Ömer] So as you can see, a horizontal problem here.

-Mm-hmm. -We should cut vertically.

I was not expecting the doctor to take the things

that you know are your most insecure flaws

and project them for everyone to see, like that.

I am immediately regretting having Birkan come with me.

Here I am sitting next to my boyfriend

who happens to be 20 years younger than I am.

Like, "What the hell was I thinking?"

This is not romantic. It's not that's sexy.

It's [bleep] awful.

[Emma speaks]

So I'm not going to meet anyone in your family while I'm here?

[Emma] It's really odd that he wouldn't want to introduce me.

It just makes me feel

like he's hiding something about his life.

[middle eastern music plays]

Hello.

How are you?

Salam.

Do you know where I can buy, like, hair oil?

Like, to make my hair shiny?

Oh.

Excuse me? Do you know where I can get hair oil?

[man speaks]

No, not -- like, hair oil. Not spice.

-Down there? -[indistinct]

OK.

OK.

Maybe here?

No.

No.

Bags. Not oil.

Can you get stuff for your hair?

-Here? -Oh, really?

Here? Perfect.

I love tea.

[Emma] We're going to be cooking today.

Thank you.

[Jovon speaks in Arabic]

This doesn't really match my outfit.

Thank you.

[Emma] This morning, I took a walk through the Medina

to try and clear my head.

This isn't really sexy.

Right now, I'm feeling really concerned about everything

that's happened since I landed.

Ziad's been very distant with me emotionally and physically

the whole time that I've been here,

and it's making me a little suspicious.

I'm actually really excited for this.

But Ziad is taking me to a cooking class today,

and I really think it's such a cute idea.

I'm going to really try not to just be in my head

and overthink things.

And I'm hoping this could be a fun bonding moment

between us.

What are we making?

[Jovon speaks Arabic]

Yum! That sounds good.

[speaks Arabic]

[Jovon] Uh-huh.

[Jovon speaks]

OK.

-Oh, you peel it. -Exactly.

[Emma] Oh!

-So we're peeling the lemon. -Exactly.

All right.

I could do that.

-I did it. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-She said, "You make it perfect." -Perfect.

Ooh.

No. [clears throat]

Got it.

Don't I look like a wife right now?

I have an apron on. I'm cooking.

This is like real wife material.

-This is actually a lot of fun. -Yeah.

I like this.

[Jovon speaks]

Yeah, I don't -- I don't cook.

No.

I don't like breakfast.

Coffee is my breakfast.

I could make you, like, toast.

I'll order you something.

-That's -- yeah, yeah. That's better.

What's your favorite food?

What's my favorite?

Do you remember?

-Yeah. -I know it.

Oh, you remember.

Have you ever cooked for your other ex-girlfriends before?

Oh, so you don't eat in the house?

Did you tell your family about me yet?

[Ziad] Yeah, yeah.

They know you are here and I'm with you.

Before I came to Morocco, Ziad mentioned

that he didn't tell anyone in his family that I was coming.

I was upset.

So I'm glad that Ziad finally told them, but...

I'm a little disappointed that he hasn't set up a meeting.

I wanna know more about him

and understand him a little bit more,

and I feel like meeting his family

is the best way to do that.

So do you think I can meet your family?

Uh...I don't know which time they will be free

or they will be there. For example...

So I'm not going to meet anyone in your family

while I'm here?

Don't you think that's a little frustrating for me?

-It is, it is. -Like I'm not seeing your apartment.

-I'm not meeting your family. -It is.

You know, this is the man that I love

and that I want to be with.

It's really odd that he wouldn't wanna to introduce me to his family.

And it just makes me feel like he's hiding me or hiding

something about his life. And that's not OK.

Have you ever introduced a girl to your parents?

-Yeah. -No, no, no.

Then the girls you date normally are just

Moroccan girls. -Yeah, yeah.

Have you ever talked to an American girl, like online?

Or just me?

Uh-huh.

Have you talked to girls from like Europe or...?

Uh, no, no.

Because the app that we met on is international.

You didn't message any of them?

No, no.

[Emma] I feel like he's lying to me.

Before I came to Morocco, me and Thea had gotten

into a huge fight because I found out

that he's still talking to woman online.

He told me that he wasn't cheating on me,

but I'm not so sure about that.

So I downloaded this extension on my laptop, and it shows you,

in order, who people follow.

Cut the garlic.

This morning, I checked on my computer,

and I found out that he's still adding more women.

They're all from different countries.

I mean, it's like he's never stopped looking

for other options.

It feels like everything is hitting me all at once,

and I'm putting the pieces together,

and it's just making me wonder if he did cheat on me

or if he even really wants this relationship.

I think it's time to find out what's the real story here.

I still really want to talk to your family.

It would be best if Forrest wanted to meet my family first

so they could have a better understanding.

[Molly] I can't even imagine what her parents would try and do

if Forrest went over there by himself.

I need to be there with Forrest.

Forrest?

[Sheena speaking]

That's something we're going to have to do, you guys.

Forrest, it's not the point of replacement.

It's the point of just observing other things.

I have no interest in women,

but the human body is beautiful.

I don't even go to those in the States.

...'cause they cooked the best hamburgers.

Oh, man.

[funky music plays]

[Dev] I know, that's neat, huh?

Mm.

My conversation with Sheena yesterday forced me

to reevaluate how I'm going to approach Sheena's parents.

And we decided that it's best to meet Sheena's family first

without my mom and dad.

So what other things are in, what do you call it?

[Molly] Oh, man.

I just have such a thing for history,

because you have to learn from history

because history repeats itself.

You can kind of predict what's going to happen

if you don't learn from mistakes from the first time.

You know, that's how I've always felt.

[Forrest] I'm not looking forward to talking to my mom

about this at all.

She's pretty much going to freak out

and really think now

her family is trying to get the hooks into me.

Like, I'm going to go the first day,

and they're just going to set me down,

they're going to open up my brain,

and they're just going to pour the brainwashing juice directly

into my soul.

And she's going to fight me tooth and nail

to allow herself to go.

[Sheena speaks]

[Molly] Whoo!

[Sheena speaks]

[Dev] For all the important guys.

[Sheena] Yes, yes, yes.

For Spanish rulers at that era, yes.

[Dev] That is neat.

[Molly] Look at the fountain!

[Sheena] Yeah, that's the good stuff here.

-Oh, my God. -You want to see?

-It's so beautiful. -Yeah.

[Forrest] You can definitely tell that you're not in America anymore.

[Sheena speaks]

Do you know what one thing Dev and I talk about all the time is?

We'll look at a rock and we say,

"You know, imagine how much this rock has seen."

It all blows my mind right there.

Oh, man.

To Sheena's credit, she really is making the effort

to show us the best of her country.

-[Molly] Oh, my God. -[Sheena] Yes.

[Molly] How old is this?

[Sheena speaks]

[Molly] I don't know if I --

Oh, no, no, I don't want to open it.

But honestly, I don't regret going so hard on Sheena

the other night like that.

-[Forrest] Whoa! -[Molly] Oh, my God.

-I wanna get one of these hats. -Mom and her hats.

Yeah, that's how it'll look like.

[Forrest] Oh, hey, that's perfect.

I want to believe she has good intentions.

[Sheena] Yeah, babe. You look so handsome.

But we're just sitting here, stirring in the [bleep] pot.

I'm still struggling to figure out

why Sheena lied.

And I know in my heart

that there is more to this story.

There. There.

There. There.

[Molly speaks]

I'm going to sit down, guys.

-All right. -I'm sweating like crazy.

Oh, God.

This is all wonderful.

I didn't realize how truly beautiful the Philippines is.

[Sheena] Yes. Thanks so much.

I mean, seeing this,

meeting you is so important. -Yes, Molly.

Mm-hmm.

But there's still one little piece of the puzzle,

and that's with your family.

So I still really want to talk to them and discuss things.

[Forrest] Well, I'm glad that you brought up,

you know, Sheena's family.

Sheena and I had a discussion

about, you know, going by ourselves

to meet your parents and how it's important

that I meet them before Mom and Dad meet them.

So, Mom, I know that you wanted to go as a group to meet

with Sheena's family,

but we would really like it if you come the next day.

-Of course. -Isn't that right, babe?

It would be best if Forrest wanted to meet my family first

so they could have a better understanding.

[tense music plays]

[Molly] I can't even imagine what her parents would try and do

if Forrest went over there by himself.

If Sheena's family is able to manipulate Sheena

the way that they do,

with the whole tradition

and the oldest daughter thing,

and that we're broke,

then who's to say they can't manipulate Forrest?

I need to be there with Forrest and Sheena.

I feel it is important that you have me and Dev

to stand by your side. -OK.

Just we will come in and say our greetings.

Hello, how are you?

No going and yelling and screaming.

I promise.

And so I was hoping

that you would be in agreement to doing that,

allowing us to come.

Mom, we're not saying that we don't want you to be there.

We want you to be there.

We just want you to go the next day.

Because we can talk about special pink fairy dust

and all these other great things,

but we live in reality, OK?

And in reality, you are a very hardcore person.

You know you are going to go and look for anything

to be said. And I'm an adult.

You need to treat me like an adult.

I am not a child anymore.

And you should be able to trust me and Sheena

in our judgment. -I cannot trust Sheena yet.

Sheena's not perfect.

This is the perfect opportunity.

And I cannot trust you now.

This is the perfect opportunity.

I cannot trust you now.

[Molly] I know Forrest.

He will sacrifice his own self and do anything for Sheena.

This was the whole reason why I came here was to protect

Forrest from Sheena's parents.

This is total bullshit!

[Jovon speaking]

I'm meeting my husband, not just any man.

I have a feeling that we're going to have

some communication problem again.

I don't know.

Come on!

[gasps] Oh, my God!

[singing in Tagalog]

[Annalyn speaks]

Oh!

Today is the day that I'm going to meet my...

loving husband, and I'm so excited.

It's just so surreal.

After being married for three years,

in a relationship for six years,

I finally get to meet my husband in person

for the first time. So crazy.

Hi, hello, good morning.

I'm finally picking up my husband.

Could you please bring us some champagne later on?

I suggested that we start this trip on our honeymoon.

So this morning, I check into this beautiful resort in Bicol,

but it's been raining ever since I showed up.

Some people would think that it's a bad sign, but, you know,

I'm Catholic, and for us, water is cleansing.

For me, it's a blessing.

...for the first kiss ever.

My God, Jovon, here I come!

OK.

Wow, I feel like puking.

There's just so many emotions going on in my system

right now.

I feel happy. I feel excited.

I feel intense.

It's just the fact that I'm meeting my husband,

not just any man.

At the same time, I have a feeling

that we're also going to have

some communication problem again.

I don't know.

But I don't want to be

negative because this moment is very special to me.

I've been waiting for a long time.

So for today, I'm going to focus on the positive,

which is the love and the feelings we have

for each other.

[Jovon] Just touched down.

I can't believe that even though we've almost been

married for three years, I'm about to meet my wife

for the first time.

This moment is huge because it's been a buildup over years.

I'm excited, but also I have a lot of anxiety

because things are far from perfect right now.

I would love to get back to the place where me and Anna

can have fun and laugh together and be happy

in our relationship,

like how it was in the beginning.

[Annalyn] This has been like an overdue dream for me.

I would always daydream on how it's going to be,

how it would feel like.

I wonder how it feels to touch him, to hold him.

Oh, my God.

The nervousness is just leveling up.

It's like ordering something online,

and when it finally arrives,

you're just excited to unpack the package.

[Jovon] Just passed customs.

I'm one step closer to seeing Anna.

And I'm just so ready.

♪ I'm gonna get up today ♪

♪ And I will finally see the sun ♪

-♪ Let's go inside... ♪ -Come on!

♪ Beating on my skin ♪

♪ I soak it in ♪

Oh...

♪ Better days have just arrived and I am ready now ♪

♪ I'll be waiting for my time and I wondered how ♪

♪ Everything I want can now begin ♪

♪ Take every day as it comes ♪

[gasps]

Oh, my God!

[Annalyn giggles]

[shouts and giggles]

[Annalyn] Mm!

[cries]

[giggles]

Look at you in pink! Like a peach on a windowsill.

-[Jovon laughs] -Yeah, I told you.

Yeah.

[Annalyn cries]

Stop crying. It's OK.

-You're supposed to be happy. -I'm happy.

-[Jovon laughs] -It's tears of joy.

I rehearsed the moment in my head a thousand times

of how I was going to approach her

and what she was going to look like.

And she's just everything that I ever hoped for and more.

Oh, my God!

You're very handsome and tall and, yeah, perfect.

It just feels like a dream. It feels surreal.

Like, I still can't believe it, but I just want more kisses.

-Yeah. -Still not enough.

-I got you some chocolate. -[gasps]

-Some more stuff for you in my other suitcase. -Very smart, mister.

Like, I can't even wrap my brain around it

that I am standing next to my wife.

It just feels amazing.

You look uncomfortable right now,

-so I'm curious if you're OK with this. -No, no, no.

Everything is fine by me.

I am comfortable with everything.

Seeing your photos is just,

it is just...

[Ömer] I will just show you some pictures.

So, as you can see, a horizontal problem here

that we should cut vertically. -Mm-hmm.

We call it abdominoplasty, but...

-OK. -So, fix this area here

and here in this part.

-We can remove it. -OK.

When we do an FDL tummy tuck, we have to cut in the middle

of your tummy, so it's almost impossible to hide it.

[Laura] Right, OK.

You look uncomfortable right now,

so I'm curious if... -No, no, no.

I'm comfortable with everything.

It didn't make me uncomfortable.

I kinda surprised me, but it's just --

it is just --

people's life, you know.

Just not a problem for me.

[nurse] So overall, all for $7,175.

-[Laura] OK. -That's pretty much all.

That's what I was gonna ask. Uh-huh.

[Ömer] Usually patients ask.

So, it's six weeks.

-OK. -All right?

So, like, anything I do at the gym, pretty much,

would be done for six weeks. -Almost, yes.

Almost.

But approximately two to three weeks later,

you can start jogging and light exercises.

Excellent.

And I'll have a packet of all this information?

-[nurse] Of course. -All right.

It's already printed up.

OK. Thank you very much.

-But we'll be in touch. -Yes, absolutely.

And if you have additional medical questions,

feel free to ask. -I love that.

I was just going to ask if there was an email.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Nice to meet you.

I appreciate your time.

[Laura] I'm glad I did it.

But I feel really embarrassed about going to this appointment

with Birkan.

I'm not fully confident that he's, like,

physically attracted to me.

And having him in there with me

has made me more insecure than ever.

[Birkan] So, what are you thinking about surgery?

It's something that I've thought about

for a long time now. -Yeah.

I feel like sometimes I'll catch a glimpse of myself,

and I feel like I don't look any different than I did

140 pounds ago, and I hate that.

Yeah.

If you feel more confident when you do it,

just do it.

This is your life.

You have to make your own decisions.

That shows you how brave you are, you know?

Thank you.

I don't feel like it's brave, though.

This feels exactly the opposite of brave.

I feel, like,

scared and embarrassed, and, like, it's not brave.

But you have nothing to be ashamed

or embarrassed.

You have the power to change your life.

You lost all the weight you want.

This is the best part.

You just go into surgery and enjoy your --

the rest of your life, you know?

And you are gorgeous.

I will always be on your side. OK?

OK. OK.

OK.

[Laura speaking]

I appreciate that.

[Laura] I love how supportive Birkan is.

His words are so touching.

I feel like I'm finally starting to get some reassurance from him

that, yeah, he really does love me,

and I can trust what he's saying.

-You want to go? -Mm-hmm.

Then let's go.

-OK. -OK.

-[Laura] You're the best. -[Birkan] I know.

-[Laura chuckles] -That's my mojo.

Since we've been dating, have you talked romantically

to any other girls?

No, I don't.

I just don't want us to have any secrets.

[Emma] Cute!

That is so cute.

That's like the cutest thing I've ever seen.

Can we eat now?

[middle eastern music plays]

-This is so pretty. -Yes, so nice --

Do you want to sit over here?

We can sit right at this table.

I'm feeling a little frustrated after the cooking class

because I feel like the past couple days,

he's just been changing his story.

He's been telling different things to me online

and in person.

Oh, this is what we made.

And then seeing what Ziad is doing on social media,

I feel like he has something that he's hiding

or that he doesn't want to tell me.

This is all the more reason that I think every girl needs

to do a little bit of stalking.

I would never, like, show up at someone's house

in the middle of the night.

Like, that's, like, creepy stalker status.

But...you know, like, some light digging is,

like, totally normal.

I investigate. I don't stalk.

[Ziad speaking Arabic]

-We did a really good job. -Yeah.

Should we try it?

Taste it all.

Mmm.

That's really good. Do you like it?

-It's so delicious. -Good.

Yeah, I'm eating.

I have a lot on my mind. I'm thinking...

I don't know, I'm just, like, thinking about...

Just, like, the whole...

argument we got into a couple weeks ago.

What?

When I found out that you were still talking to girls.

And you haven't talked to any girls since?

No.

So you don't talk to girls on your social media?

I've been looking at your page.

-Every day. -Mm-hmm.

You follow new girls.

Just girls, girls, girls, girls, girls,

girls, girls, yeah.

And it's like thousands of people that you follow.

So what if they message you? Do you respond to messages too?

If girls try to flirt with you, what do you say?

I will say, "Thanks." That's all.

So since we've been dating,

have you talked romantically to any other girls?

[Ziad] So that's...

So you don't think you've ever cheated on me?

-You would never cheat? -No.

-Or lie? -No.

I just don't want us to have any secrets between each other.

I want to feel like I can trust you and that,

like, you're not ever going to do something behind my back.

Like, I don't ever want to have to worry about it.

I don't hide nothing.

[Ziad] So...

No.

[Emma] Mm-hmm.

Um, I was just going through a bad breakup.

No, I was going through a breakup.

-You know? -Yeah.

Well, I was going through a breakup.

[Emma] Like, going through a breakup means...

...we're going through a breakup.

No.

Babe, I was going through a breakup.

That's my answer. I was going through a breakup.

-Oh, OK. -I wasn't in the right headspace

to start a relationship.

Ah.

[Emma] Me and Ziad have actually never talked about why I ended

things with him when we first started dating.

So I'm really shocked to hear Ziad bringing this up

right now.

I mean, honestly, I did kind of just drop him disappear

because I was trying to make things work with my ex.

I really want to be open with Ziad about Mohammed,

but I feel like with the way Ziad is badgering me

for this information right now, he wouldn't take it well.

So I'm just not really ready to tell him in this moment.

That was a long time ago, right?

I'm here -- I'm here --

I'm here with you now,

and I want to be with you now.

Yeah.

I'm talking about now, 'cause I want to be with you now

and focus on right now us being together.

[Ziad speaking]

I see, like --

[Jovon] Wow, did you do all this?

[Annalyn] Yeah.

I am very nervous because it has been almost a decade

since I had sex.

OK.

What if the positions have changed?

Do I still know how it's gonna go?

Jovon, you ready for me?

[giggles]

Now, how is it all of a sudden you can miraculously change

and stand up to your parents?

Now the story changes again.

Lying, not keeping her story straight,

that's where I have an issue.

I still don't know if this isn't something

that you're involved in either.

They're gonna have you snookered

before you even realize it, Forrest.

[Annalyn speaks]

-[Jovon] Really? -[Annalyn] Yeah.

What?

Oh, my gosh. Oh, my God.

♪ When you're streeted, you can stay with me ♪

♪ Into the sunrise ♪

♪ As long as I've got you, give me a smile ♪

[Jovon] I just met my wife for the first time in person.

Man, I dreamed about this day for a long time.

This is freaking huge.

Right now, we're on our way to the resort that Anna booked.

And it's a very surreal feeling.

Before I --

Yeah.

But then it's funny because...

Mm-hmm.

Anna's personality is a big ball of energy,

and she's a little wacky,

and she can literally hold a conversation all on her own.

Pretty much the opposite of me.

But what can I say? That's my wife.

So am I what you were expecting?

You're exactly what I was expecting.

Oh, my...

Here we are.

[Jovon] This is really nice, boo.

[Annalyn] That's why I pick it.

-It's got good taste, you know. -[Annalyn] Yes.

-So... -[Jovon] Ready?

[giggles]

-OK. -[Jovon] You got it?

-[Annalyn] Yeah. -All right.

-No. -[both giggle]

You heavy.

No. Don't throw me away.

-Don't throw you? -No.

You may look tiny, but you heavy, though.

-Wow, would you do all this? -[grunts]

-Yeah. -[Jovon] OK.

[Jovon] I've been waiting on this night for six years.

It's our honeymoon, and seeing the rose petals

on the bed, you know,

the environment's right for us to, you know,

[bleep] get it in.

Boo, this is yours.

-You can take off your... -These come with the room?

-Yeah. -OK.

You can take this off.

Ooh, I'm kind of scared to take my socks off.

[Annalyn speaks] Ooh!

[both giggle]

Oof, boy.

I was wearing boots.

I haven't taken a shower in like,

33 hours. -Why would you wear boots

on a 33 hour flight?

Get a big whiff, man.

That's what you're going to have to deal with

on a day-to-day basis. -You want to take a shower?

-Please do. -All right.

-OK? -I'll be right out.

I knew that I would learn a lot of things about Jovon,

but I did not expect that the feet would smell...

so badly.

It smells terrible.

Ugh.

OK.

I am very nervous because, oh, my God,

I've never been with a man for a long time.

It has been almost a decade since I had sex.

OK, yeah!

Look at you. Better.

I am worried a little bit

I'm not going to be able to satisfy him?

I don't know.

What if the positions have changed?

Do I still know how it's gonna go?

Like, I don't know!

-Jovon, you ready for me? -Mm?

Hey.

-Yeah, look at you. -Mm-hmm.

Looking good, boo.

I know we have a lot to figure out

about each other the next few weeks, but so far,

Jovon and I are off to a really romantic start.

-All right, you ready? -You ready? Yeah.

[Annalyn] But, oh, my God!

I've never seen any married couple that took

three years before...

doing it.

Wish me luck.

Two, three!

[both giggle]

Sheena, if we go

and meet your parents,

I agree to not speak out of turn.

I don't believe you're going to do that.

-I wont. -And we cannot...

mess this up with Sheena's family.

OK.

Sheena, your parents are going to do the same line

that they've used on yo -- all along,

the cultural thing and the duty of the family.

Now how is it all of a sudden under one day

you can miraculously change and stand up to your parents?

Oh, now the story changes again.

Again.

-You told me yourself. -Yes, Molly, but --

That you are pressured and you're scared

of your family, remember?

You're scared of your family.

But now you feel totally safe and...

Yes, I understand, Molly.

Aaaah, how that switches.

Sheena telling me that her parents aren't bad people,

it's like, "What are you saying?"

That's a total different story

from what you've been telling me all along.

They're mistreating me, they're gonna kick me out,

they call me names," all of this,

and now the story switches.

It's hard to think bad of your parent.

You can't go and slam her and judge her just because

she thinks highly of her parents.

Where my problem is, is her lying,

not keeping her story straight.

That's where I have an issue.

I still don't know if this isn't something

that you're involved in either.

It would be the most perfect setup for your family

and you guys.

Your family, of course, doesn't want you to leave

this country and go to the United States.

So you get forced to come over there,

and then it's twice the amount of money to your parents.

And he will be the grunt just like you are.

Stop, don't. I don't do that.

I love my person. I love your son.

I love more than anything.

I have self respect for your son.

But I'm just saying, my fear is that Forrest is going to say

and do anything just to keep your love and then find out

that it was all a con.

Mom, you acting this way has proven my point.

I ask you to please just wait one day so I can go and greet

Sheena's family. That was it.

And look at where we're sitting right now.

You can't even hold your temper.

My mom is saying things that are way out of line.

Sheena is a person with such a kind heart that she would

never do anything to put me in danger or hurt me.

I brought my mom to Manila to kind of support me

and give me advice,

but instead, she's always just nuking it,

which makes everything worse.

Mom, I don't think one day

is truly going to change everything.

Forrest, that's not even the point.

-We can't even have a decent... -We've gone beyond that.

It's already gone beyond that.

You know why it's gone beyond that?

Because of the fact that you don't trust me.

I have bust my ass trying to make sure to be there

for you and to be there for her.

You think that if I didn't trust you

that I would bring you all the way here

to the Philippines?

That took a lot of trust to bring you here.

Forrest's saying that he doesn't trust me

that I won't blow up.

The reason why I blow up has always been to protect him.

But to see how...

he's taken that protection

and made it a problem, it's painful.

And I will not be anybody's problem.

[Molly] You guys want your life?

-You want your thing? -Mom.

-Go handle it now. -We're not trying to hurt you.

They're gonna have you snookered

before you even realize it, Forrest.

So, good luck, guys. Good luck.

Yes, it's for the best that she's not coming.

Oh, my God, is it really you?

[Lisa speaking]

[Daniel speaking]

-No, stop! -Huh?

Oh, my God. You better stop.

Oh, my God, Daniel.

[Lisa laughs]

I don't mind being here from morning to night.

I will wait.

I will wait.

I am having a little nervous.

[Lisa] I can't believe I'm finally about to meet Daniel.

Excuse me.

Hello.

This is a beginning chapter.

No matter what it is, whether it's good or bad,

it's going to change everything in my life right now.

[romantic music plays]

[laughs]

[triumphant music plays]

Oh, my God.

I wanna look at you. Let me look at you.

[Lisa] Oh, my God!

I don't even have words for how I felt when I first saw Daniel.

He started running towards me and I was like,

"Oh my God, that's him!"

And my heart just exploded and he devoured me.

Daniel! Oh, my God, Daniel!

[Lisa laughs]

No, stop!

Oh, my God! You better stop!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God! Is it really you?

Is it really you? Oh, my God!

Don't cry.

I'm trying not to cry. Don't you cry.

-Really? -Yeah.

No, I'm a mess. I've been on a plane for hours.

Oh, my God, baby.

I love you!

[Daniel speaking]

Oh, my God! I don't know what to do.

I don't know what to do next. OK, we should go.

Let me get my... Are you gonna get the luggage?

-I will get this. -You get that one?

Which way?

[tribal music playing]

Did you?

Oh, my God, honey!

I walked out, and there's music,

and it's loud, and there's dancers dancing around,

and I'm thinking, "What the hell?

Is this how they welcome all foreigners into their country?"

But no, this is about me. Daniel set this up for me.

What the hell is going on here? This is nuts.

[Lisa] Wait a minute. Hold this.

Let me try. Wait.

Hold the flower. Wait.

[laughs]

[Lisa laughs]

Oh, my God. That was amazing.

Thank you!

What are you doing?

[Daniel speaking]

[suspenseful music plays]

[Annalyn] Next time on "Before the 90 Days."

This one is for you, Aviva.

[cars honking]

[Sheena speaks]

Today we're traveling to meet Sheena's family with our goal

of getting their blessing to be married.

[Sheena speaks]

I brought condoms too, baby. Go take your shower.

Get everything ready.

It's been 21 years since I've been with a man.

[Daniel speaking]

[Lisa speaking]

What if I want it and he doesn't want me?

[breathes with difficulty]

When we first started talking, he was so sweet...

[Ziad's friend speakin¿]

Yes.

[speaking in Arabic]

Sometimes you overstep just a little bit.

I love you, but you are a little bit unhinged.

Oh, my God.

I can't believe you're Jovon right now.

-You done? -Done with this conversation.

Well, this is something you didn't tell me about.

You've been holding a secret for, what, four months now?

Now I'm thinking her ghosting me for five days

directly has to do with her ex.

[Trisha speaking]

-Did you say, "your debts?" -Yeah.

How much is it?

[Birkan speaking]
