90 Day Fiance--"No Way Out" summary s6e8

Previously on “90 Day Fiance”: Colt and Larissa looked at one bedroom apartments, then broke the news to Colt's mom that she wouldn't be coming with them. It seems like she understood but wasn't happy about it. Jay apologized to Ashley, because as he has said, she'll never admit she's wrong so he has to do it. They then discovered that racist assholes have discovered their wedding website and have left a hundred comments with every slur imaginable and also threats of violence. Fernanda tried on wedding dresses, and Jonathan's mom came and made several snide comments, and then pretended to be sympathetic. Steven decided that Olga was paying too much attention to their two week old son so he lectured her on how she doesn't appreciate all the shit he does for her and how he should be the most important person. Olga sadly did not leave him stranded in Russia, but instead demanded to know why she had to do all the work in the relationship, and then got upset. Steven claimed to not want to make her cry, but completely failed to apologize or do anything other than continue to demand attention, because he's an asshole. Leida hated the hotel meeting room Eric got for the wedding, so she demanded extravagant flowers (which she got) and then also expensive furniture (which she did not get). Eventually she bitched about the child support, and threatened to break it off because in her opinion the child support prevents Eric from providing for her properly. Kalani went wedding dress shopping and was a giant drama queen about how she doesn't know if she wants to get married, because she won't act like an adult and have a conversation with Asuelu, as an equal, about her concerns. Kolini arrived and that was another whole stupid drama event because of course it is. She tried to get him to admit he's just with Kalani for her money, which is not the case, but he also tried to say Americans don't support their spouses' families, or something. Turns out that's because Asuelu's brother said some sexist shit on a phone call so clearly she's not supporting him. It's fair but she said it in the most condescending, lecturing mom tone possible. Asuelu's response was to say he wants to go home and walk out of the restaurant, which in the sisters' eyes is clearly worse than going shopping for a wedding dress you repeatedly claim to not want.

We start back with Eric and Leida. Eric claims that he has already explained to Leida that they are going to pick and choose bills sometimes. I mean, yeah, replace the twin bed, but do you need to replace it with a $7,000 bed set? No. But unless Leida is going to supply some money then suck it up. Eric feels horrible but he is also determined not to bail on his kids. Leida cries that it's hard because she has to accept the child support and Tasha living with them, two things that I think she was aware of, and she doesn't want to be unhappy. She rants that she doesn't want to feel like she's “forcing” herself, and then she has to get married, and then she regrets it. I mean the solution to that is to not get married. I haven't seen her declare her love for Eric or anything that indicates this is any kind of conflict. Eric asks what her problem is, and she says “Your life is my fucking problem right now”. I really don't see what incentive Eric has to cave and do anything she's asking? She feels like she's forcing herself to get married because she doesn't want to leave America, because she has a lot of opportunities to pursue her medical career. And there it is. So Eric asks if this was about the green card, or about him? There is too long of a pause, and then Eric says “Did you love me or not?” and he says “did” and not “do”. Leida starts to protest that she does love him (present tense) but he demands an answer to the first question. Eric asks for honesty, and she says this is it: she doesn't want to get married right now. Yeah, I'd say this is honesty. She doesn't want to get married because “you're going to make new family here but you're going to pay other stuff to another person.” His existing children don't magically disappear when he gets remarried. So she's saying he's putting them as a priority, not her. Leida is now claiming she did the math and child support is like $1000 per month. I don't know if that's a lot or not, but kids are expensive and also, when did you do this calculation? After you got here? Also another $1000 is not going to get you that $7000 bed set. Now she's second level. Listen, you knew he paid child support before you got here, and if all you're here for is to be in America and be a doctor and be rich, you should have found someone without kids.

This argument has already gone on too long and it's been like five minutes. Leida feels that her not being happy is legitimate, and now she's doing that thing where the other person yells because she's being ridiculous, and then she gets calm and asks why he's yelling. As if she didn't throw a legit tantrum in the furniture store and she wasn't just yelling at Eric 30 seconds ago. He says because she's not listening to reason. Does she want him to give up parental rights? Or just give her $1000 a month? She says both. I know I said this last episode, but I cannot fathom a divorced person, with a kid, who will enter a marriage and tell their spouse with a straight face that their own children from their first marriage don't matter at all and should be abandoned. At this point, if I were Eric, I'd just tell her it's not going to happen and I'll help her pack. He's the one with the power here, you know? She says both because she deserves it. Nope. Eric says she doesn't deserve him giving up his child. So she says don't get married. He's upset, but seriously? She's the one who needs to be here. Eric says it's fucking wrong to ask him to give up his parental rights. It's inhuman. Also he points out in confessional about Alless and how much bullshit that is. Leida continues to say she doesn't like it, as if that's a valid argument, and Eric says then she's going home, because he's not giving up his child. Good for you, Eric. Leida says fine, she doesn't want this anymore anyway. Eric literally gets out of the car and says “This is over” and starts taking off his mike. A producer asks him why, and he says this is done. He's realizing she was just in it for the green card, which she was stupid enough to actually say, and he's not putting anyone before his kids. So this is over. His whole confessional is over shots of Leida just sitting in the car.

38 days to go for Colt and Larissa. Larissa and Mom drive around while Larissa interviews that she is excited to decide things about the wedding and also move out of the house after the wedding. Larissa declares that if Colt wants to marry her, they need to not live with his mother. Fair. I know Larissa is annoying in many ways, but I support her in this. Knowing your boyfriend lives with his mother, and being OK with his mother living with the two of you forever, are different things and not the same thing as Colt claims they are. They talk about dresses in the car, and Larissa wants traditional but also sexy. Colt apparently asked for this shopping trip because he is an idiot and thought this would make them be friends. Larissa's opinion is that Mom cannot allow other women to love Colt. I think Colt won't allow other women to love Colt, is what I think is happening. Larissa says her budget is $1000 or less. She also claims that when they first met, Colt claimed she would be able to buy anything she wanted. Clearly that is not actually the case. Mom doesn't know if she knows Larissa well enough to help her shop, I guess. Colt's cousin's wife Lea shows up. I think that's her? John's wife? Whatever, it doesn't matter. Larissa invited her because it's another woman, and women give support to each other, especially in America. Sure.

Larissa wants a mermaid dress with a long train and sparkly details, and also costs $100,000. Uh huh. Because “dream has no price”. She tells the shop people sexy but kind of covered. And cropped? She says Colt will want sexy and lots of cleavage, but wedding dresses should look classic and not slutty. She also says she hopes Colt will like the dress, although, I don't know that a groom has ever cared what the dress looked like specifically? You know? Just that the bride felt wonderful and also that she agrees to get married. I just went to a wedding, and the dress was GORGEOUS, but I also know the groom would have married his bride in a hockey jersey and that's an important fact, I think. Right? Anyway, the first dress is perfectly lovely and I think Larissa might cry. She says she feels like a pure angel, but her future husband likes things sexy. I mean, the bodice is lots of sheer and petals and looks like it's cut down to her navel, but she's going to keep trying on stuff. Something more “nasty”. Sigh. Larissa warns Mom it'll be sexy, but Mom also knows that this store is probably out of the price range.

The second dress has a tight skirt, and the top is all illusion netting and paisley. So she looks naked from the waist up, with just embroidery over her chest and off the shoulder. Larissa has a nice body but honestly, her chest looked better in the other dress. Look, some women look better with a bra. Don't wear a bra if you hate it but that's a fact. Mom was right about the price, because it's twice as much as the budget. Larissa says it's once in a lifetime, but we all know she doesn't even like the dress. Now she's bitching about Mom controlling the situation. You don't even like this dress as much as the other one! No one is controlling this situation except for your decision to please Colt, which, he should shut up about it. Larissa wants to prove she can do whatever she wants, so Mom tries to tell her that in America, the bride's family pays for the wedding. Ha! The shop worker tries to say every family is different, and I guess this is enough for Larissa to decide Mom is lying. It's traditional, though. Mom then says she supposes Colt could use the money he set aside for her green card to pay for the dress. Damn. This forces Larissa to say her green card is more important. It is $1000 for a green card. This is accurate according to the internet. Mom argues that if she wants to wait another six months, she could double her dress budget. Larissa thinks this is crazy, but also I know you can get a decent dress for less than $2400. Larissa feels Colt can do both, but Mom doesn't think he'll bend. In the store, she says he'd rather see her in a sexy nightgown after the wedding, which we all know is the truth. Apparently Colt will have the final say, but Larissa thinks Mom is controlling everything.

37 days left for Fernanda and Jonathan. It's snowing in Chicago and I think it's Fernanda's first time in the snow. She says Jonathan's mom is being nicer to her, but she doesn't think Jonathan wants to fix the relationship with his mom. I get that she has a great relationship with her own mother, but that doesn't mean that everyone has to, you know? Fernanda feels it's important to have family support in relationships. Sure, and I'm sure it's a cultural thing too, but not everyone needs to be super close to their family. They go to a coffee shop where Jonathan starts worrying about how they need to have a wedding planned in six weeks. Fernanda is just concerned with how he doesn't get along with his mother. She thinks he can do better with her. Are we sure it's that Jonathan is the problem here? Fernanda is acting like Jonathan has closed his heart to his mother, but from what we've seen, it's not like Mom is putting any effort in either. Jonathan tells her it's a different relationship. Fernanda tells him he needs to fix it. Jonathan says they used to be close, but things change, he moved away and was independent. He starts talking about forgetting the people who helped you, or something. Look, if Jonathan wants to get closer to his mom, then cool, but I don't want to support the idea that family trumps all and it doesn't matter how the other person treats you, you MUST forgive them and be super close because FAMILY. Fernanda says it's important to her, because they need his mom, and she wants her kids to be close to their grandmother. “Your house is here with your mom and your brother and your sister.” I don't know about that. Fernanda then reveals what is actually driving her, which is that her own mother said that how your husband treats his mom is how he'll treat you. OK I don't necessarily agree with that either, but if that's the background she's coming at this from, then it makes more sense why she's so obsessed with this. Fernanda insists his siblings and his mom need him. I just...we haven't seen that anyone has a problem with how the relationships are currently except for Fernanda. He should tell his mom he loves her at least once a week and offer to help her. OK but his mom seems like she'd either refuse to tell him or demand ridiculous things. Jonathan finally starts crying and admits he wishes he'd talk to his family more. I don't know, you guys. I get that everyone has great intentions and everyone comes from a place of love but I am just uneasy about this whole situation. Fernanda insists that Jonathan talk to his mom and apologize and tell her how much he loves her. Jonathan thinks maybe this will be a fresh start.

15 days to go for Ashley and Jay. Jay installs security cameras in the house. They feel threatened, and Jay says why wouldn't they show up to the house? I would hope they didn't put their address on this website, but I guess it's not that hard to find an address anyway. Ashley reveals that people are dropping out of the wedding, because they don't' feel safe. “There are just a lot of...things...happening”. She wants to change everything. I can't tell if there's more than the comments, that for some reason they aren't going to tell us, or if it's a general comment on the state of the country.

Ashley and Jay drive to a winery to meet with Ashley's bridesmaids. They have wine, and Jay asks what they got him, and the other one says he can have her slushie. Then she laughs because she was dead serious. What kind of nonsense is that? Anyway, these two girls have nothing to say but how it's “miserable”. Ashley interviews that it's nothing but drama: drama with Natalie, drama with the comments, drama with people dropping out. People are allowed to decide that threats are serious and they don't want to risk getting shot at your wedding. Plus you know and I know that Ashley has far more “drama” than she should. So the point is that they're canceling the wedding. They're going to elope in Vegas. So now these women have bought TWO dresses, for two weddings that are not happening. Ashley wanted a huge wedding to celebrate her but maybe that's never going to happen. On the one hand, it is a big risk when you've posted the exact location and time. On the other hand, fuck those people. But I don't know what I'd do either. Jay starts spouting that no one supports Ashley, present company excepted of course. Jay doesn't feel abandoned, because she's trying to be safe. Plus they are still going to elope. We for some reason have to have several interviews from everyone about how she's not running from this engagement, as if us viewers are too stupid to see the difference between “everyone cheats on me” and “racists threatened to shoot up my wedding.” But the girls are keeping the bridesmaid dresses just in case they renew their vows later or something. Ashley interviews that the comments “forced” her to change her plans, which is not 100% true but OK. But now she is also saying they're closer.

54 days left for Kalani and Asuelu. Kolini is going back home. We're reminded of their fight yesterday, but they conveniently leave out the part where Kalani said “my baby” and not “our baby”. She demands Asuelu come say good-bye, which is dumb because we all know Kolini doesn't like him, they won't stop talking about it. But he comes upstairs to be civil. Kalani FINALLY decides now is the time to talk to Asuelu about their issues like a damn adult. It's annoying that she is only doing it to yell at/shame him for shutting down when he gets upset. Like, she keeps harping on how he's not safe with the baby, but I guess that's not important enough to talk to him directly? Only when you feel embarrassed in front of your sister? Sure. Anyway, she actually says she doesn't want to marry him, so keep that in mind.

Kalani asks how he thought brunch went, and I already am pissed at her tone. You know when you get in trouble at school, and the school calls your parents and then you get home and they're like “so how was school?” but you can tell by their tone they know damn well how school was. It's the same tone. Asuelu isn't dumb so he knows that it started fine but ended annoying. “Well why do you think it ended like that?” Just tell him whatever you've decided he needs to think, jeez. Asuelu thinks it's a misunderstanding involving Kalani not understanding what he's saying. Just like Steven's stupid ass, and Ashley for that matter, Kalani pretends that they both need to understand the other one. Except we all know she is blaming this all on Asuelu. Asuelu doesn't want to talk when he's upset, he just wants to think about what to do. Kalani says that since he's gotten here, he's a different version of himself. Yes but the “real” version of him is the one that did the dance in the airport that you absolutely hated. He's not the person she knew, he doesn't talk to her or try to fix problems. Asuelu says when she was in Samoa, he tried to make her happy. But when he came here, now it's uncomfortable because if he does anything wrong she's mad at him. Kalani claims this is because she wants to talk about the issue, not pretend it's not there. Surely there's a better way to do that, though. She says the problem is that he doesn't ever want to talk about whatever is wrong. Then she interviews that it's a maturity issue, which is HER problem. Some people want to talk endlessly about whatever is wrong, and some people need a fucking minute to think about things. That's not immaturity, it's a difference in coping styles and it doesn't mean one of you is wrong. It means you talk about it like adults and try to compromise. Asuelu asks her not to yell at him because he wants to be close to her. I guess because she has been yelling at him to go away when they're fighting. Kalani says when he tries to cuddle her and she's mad, that's what she means here, because she feels like he's trying to avoid the issue. Asuelu just wants to cuddle her because he's been cuddling his pillow, and now he's here with her and his dreams came true. That's a little manipulative. When she goes to bed mad, he is really upset because he doesn't understand why. Because they should have had this conversation ages ago. Kalani looks both touched and also she's smiling because she sucks. She looks like a mom whose kid just gave her a homemade Mother's Day card. She claims she knew Asuelu was a physical person, but not that he was so physical that he felt she didn't love him if she wouldn't cuddle with him. She does apologize, but then she's all “I'm glad you finally told me you feel uncomfortable, we need to talk, baby, we can't just not talk to each other about problems.” 1. are you capable of speaking to your future husband as an equal and not a small child, and 2. that is some bullshit considering the hoops you have jumped through to avoid telling him that you don't trust him with the baby. Asuelu agrees they need to talk to each other, so she asks, “So can you please talk to me? When you're feeling uncomfortable?” I wish I could put a screenshot in. This relationship is never going to be healthy if Kalani can't stop acting like Asuelu is a worthless child. You'll notice that this whole argument was about Asuelu shutting down when he's upset. Not a single fucking word about how she has said several times she doesn't want to marry him because she thinks he's going to hurt his own son. Now suddenly she's excited to marry him. Well, of course, she got him to apologize and cry when she acted like a disappointed mom.

Time for Steven's stupid ass. He's whining that having a three-week-old is harder than he thought it would be. And “things have been tense”, although he leaves out the part where he caused all the tension by being a child. We get a flashback about it, though. He says he's going to talk to a lawyer today, because he has to leave in three weeks. So he needs to sort out his son's citizenship and Olga's visa. Olga interviews that they still have problems, but if the visa gets approved then it will be easier to start their lives in America.

Steven tells us that obviously his son Richie has Russian citizenship, being born in Russia. But since Steven is American, and he seems convinced that Richie will grow up in America, he needs his US citizenship too. Steven of course has no idea what that entails, because I don't think most people know what that entails. He gets to some government office to deal with all of this paperwork. He asks Michael (who has no idea what he is in for) what he needs to do. There is of course paperwork, although he did initially just ask about his son, and not Olga's visa. He gets an application, and then he's told that he has to go to the embassy in Moscow. Steven thinks this will be easy, because that's what the lawyer said. I think for an American citizen, who is listed on the birth certificate, to get citizenship for his son, probably isn't as difficult as getting the visa for Olga. Steven finally asks about Olga, and he is told it's a political problem, and that the embassy is not taking that many visa appointments. This is where Steven reveals that it would break his heart to leave Russia without his son, and he clearly has decided he'll take Richie away from Olga if it comes to that. Because now not being with him every day is a burden, as opposed to last episode when he told Olga that the baby was not as important as he was. And his relationship with Olga, technically. You can also tell he's an asshole because after he hatches this plan, to go back to America with his son and leave Olga in Russia until she gets a visa, he says he's not going to tell her about it because he doesn't know how she'll react. You idiot, EVERYONE WATCHING knows how she'll react, which is poorly because you're only thinking of yourself again.

Steven goes home and tells Olga he's got a list of all the things Richie needs for his passport. Olga says they can do that, but maybe they'll have time for sightseeing in Moscow? Steven responds that he doesn't care about any tourist sightseeing or anything, because this is most important to him. You asshole. How are you going to berate your fiancee about how you are supposed to pay attention to each other, and then turn around and say “my son's citizenship is the most important thing”. Olga asks about her visa, and Steven just says there are political things going on, and he reiterates the baby's citizenship. He literally says “My son's citizenship is most important to me. And then we'll figure out what's going on with your visa as well.” The visa will take a long time. Olga admits that she's worried Steven will think about how they've been fighting, and she makes it sound like she thinks he'll fuck around with her visa (or he already has) and ditch her. Yeah, I'd worry about that too.

Back to Colt and Larissa. Colt tells us, contempt dripping from every syllable, that it's ridiculous to spend $2000 on a dress you'll only wear once. She was trying to please you with a slutty dress, for some unfathomable reason. He wants a cheap-ass dress. There is tension between Larissa and his entire family, so he thought he'd have a barbecue to just hang out and have “a fresh start”. You idiot. Also he invited John and his wife and kids, even though the last meeting didn't go well. Because he thinks a barbecue will magically make them a family and John will accept Larissa and no one will hate each other. See, this is why your other girlfriends dumped you. As Colt gets ready for the party, Larissa sulks on the couch. She thinks John was mean to her, and also that Mom shittalks her to John because she wants allies, so everyone will be against Larissa. But Larissa says if John wants to argue with her then she'll defend herself. For all that I don't agree with Larissa much of the time, that's fair.

I for some reason enjoy that John is wearing the same clothes he was last time. I mean I'm sure it's a uniform but that means he keeps coming straight from work for these meetings? Now Larissa is mad because she was going to say “hello” but John is ignoring her. Full disclosure, this is how I deal with people I dislike but have to deal with. But they're not my cousin's fiancee. Larissa thinks this is rude, while I would take it as a blessing in disguise. John's wife takes the kids inside so they can have “grown-up time”. Meaning, she knows they're going to have a stupid fight. John tells us he thinks this is a terrible relationship and they're not good for each other. I'd like to know how John felt about Colt's previous girlfriends. You know? Just out of curiosity. Now Larissa doesn't appreciate Colt.

They discuss about how Mom is maybe not going to live with them after the wedding. John offers to let her live with them, and for some reason Larissa decides to tell him that's a terrible idea. Girl he just gave you a huge gift! Shut up and say thank you! Larissa laughs about how after a week he'll regret it. John says she's a blessing and not a burden. Listen, he clearly is trying to shame her, but he's offering and Larissa doesn't want her around so I'd say call his bluff and do it. Mom lives with family and not with you. Larissa can't read the room and complains that she makes life hard, all the little things, rearranging rooms, whatever. Lea says it's a sacrifice on both sides, and maybe both Larissa and Mom need to let some things go. I know I was harsh with Lea at first, because of the flower crowns, but honestly she's the most level-headed one here. Larissa doesn't see why she has to make it work, why she should make time. I thought you just offered to let her live with you? For all of Larissa's complaining, it is 1000% reasonable not to want to live with your husband's mother. Lea does point out that Mom pays rent so she needs respect. OK that's true. John interviews that since Mom has told him she's hurting, that she needs to tell Colt this isn't going to work. John is also offended that they're “willing to kick her out! On the street!” which, he just said she could live with him, so she's not on the street, is she? Everyone is being stupid about this, and Mom even said before that she gets that she's going to have to step back from her son's life. Colt says he just wants everyone to calm down, and Larissa interrupts to say that's because his life isn't hard. John asks him to elaborate, and Colt says that moving would solve the tension between Larissa and Mom, but Mom is 66 and disabled. She's not dead, though. Also Colt literally says “she's the only family I have” IN FRONT OF HIS ACTUAL COUSIN. John starts telling stories about how Mom is “true to the core”, whatever that means, and then gets to his point of how they owe her respect. I don't think asking her to move out is disrespectful, but Larissa of course ruins it by telling John and Lea that Mom is not the saint they think she is. There has to be a better way to argue that you want to start your new life with just the two of you. Somehow this is about respecting her as an elder. Larissa says she doesn't give respect for herself (?). John's argument is that Colt and Larissa have each other, and Mom has no one. But you just offered to take her in, so doesn't she have you? Larissa doubles down and says that just because she's Colt's mother, she's allowed to make her life hell? John says Colt pays for everything because Larissa doesn't do shit, so how is her life hell? Until she starts paying for things (I think that's what he means), she won't understand the truth about Colt or his mom. Or America. Lea says if they love Colt, they'll work it out.

John then jumps on the ring, because it's huge, and she should feel like a queen. But she “takes advantage.” Of what exactly? Larissa bursts out laughing and asks what she's taking advantage of, because she can't buy anything. John gets passive aggressive and says he doesn't say half the shit he wants to because Colt is a sweetheart and he loves him. Sure. Larissa points out that Colt doesn't even have a fucking car with air conditioning, so what in the fuck is she taking advantage of? Maybe his body. Heh. John puts his baby inside the house and then says “You'd better fucking love him, I swear to God.” Larissa laughs again and says she loves Colt and she wants to respect his mother, but John has decided to be a dick and just waves her off and says “We'll see”. If you're going to demand respect for your aunt, then you have to at least pretend to be working with Larissa here. Plus, quite frankly, having Mom move in with John and Lea would make everyone happy, unless he was lying about that. Larissa does want to respect Mom, but she “won't put [her] head down to let someone control [her].” Is Mom controlling her? Or is Mom blaming everything on Colt? As John and Larissa yell at each other, Colt just sits there. Do you think you can avoid taking sides? Because I don't think you can at this point. John turns to his wife and says “That bitch is for his money, period.” Does Colt even have money for her to be after? Because Larissa has a point about that.

After commercials we have to come back to this argument. Also I get that Larissa is obnoxious, but you have to at least let her talk, instead of waving your hand and yelling “We'll see” over her. Mom pops her head out, because I'm sure she can hear them yelling. John says that Colt deserves better, as Larissa says she is going to dream of a big life, and have a millionaire. Colt is never going to have a million dollars, come on. John goes into the house, and Mom yells at him not to come in the house screaming. John declares he can't pretend anymore, and starts spouting to his wife that love is about doing for others or whatever. Is he claiming Larissa doesn't love Colt because she doesn't want to live with his mother after they're married? I guess so. Larissa interrupts to tell John he's not welcome at her wedding. I do notice that they're now arguing inside the house, which is what they were asked not to do. So much for respect. No one who is against Larissa is allowed at the wedding. John says she's delusional. Or she has a delusional sense of love? Delusional and confusing? Larissa goes part way up the stairs and yells “Who is against the Queen will die!” Yeah, that will convince them. Colt has not said a single word, except to interview that he doesn't know how to handle someone who is completely irrational and yells and screams. Are you talking about Larissa or John? Because no matter whose side you're taking, I think we can all agree there are two people yelling and screaming right now. You will not be shocked to learn that John doesn't want to go to the wedding anyway. Lea wishes they all got along, while John insists that Larissa doesn't love Colt, love is about working together and growing, etc. He makes sure to tell Mom he loves her, and her response is “I love you too, go home” so I think she's not super pleased with him either. Plus Colt is still marrying her so are you not going to be mad at Colt for anything?

Leida for some reason is still at Eric's house, but it sounds like she slept on the couch. They go for a walk to talk about all their issues, or probably not their issues. Eric's daughter is actually there, the one who is still underage, so she's going to watch Alless. Leida claims she just wants Eric to not pay child support because it's more than she gets from him. He knows she's not happy about the child support, and he gets that she might not be, but she's demanding he become a deadbeat dad and that's not happening. Leida brings up how much it is, but they bleep it. I'm sure it's significant. Leida says she's not happy, because that's what she always says to get her way. Eric doesn't fall for it, although he's at least admitting she might not ever be happy and he understands and accepts that. Leida says “So you would rather get married with me and make me unhappy about it? Wow.” Eric tells her that they're going to work hard and maybe she won't be unhappy forever. I mean, at the moment, I still haven't seen anything from her about how she'd like to stay in this relationship. Or what exactly she brings to it that Eric would have any reason to do this for her. Leida continues to complain about the things she has to accept, other than child support. I guess like Tasha. Eric accuses Leida of being nervous because he's the only income right now. But he promises he can provide, and they'll work hard and have a future. I think they need to address the idea Leida has of what “provide” means, because she thinks if life is not up to her high standard of living, then no one is providing for her, even though she has food and shelter. But she thinks that she's not a priority because priority has to be at the top, and that means not being equal with his daughter, and not being told she can't have something because there isn't money. Eric says that she is number one, but he's not giving up parental rights. Leida is like, prove it, and now she's sulking, but I'm not sure if she thinks this will work and he'll change his mind, or if at some point she's realized that he could refuse to marry her and send her home. Leida interviews that her family warned her that she was marrying someone with baggage, and she'll always be second to his kids. I mean if your whole point was just to get a green card so you can go to med school, then why didn't you pick someone without kids? You were warned. This isn't like Colt's mom, because “stop paying child support” is not the same level as “I don't want to live with your mom”. Eric's plan is to buy a house, and Leida says she's counting on him. He asks if she doesn't trust him, and she claims she does, but then asks if he trusts she's not here just for a green card. You literally said that during the fight. Plus, why don't you prove it? Eric says he believes her about that, but come on, dude. She keeps threatening to go home where it's “easy” because she thinks you won't call her bluff. Leida demands that Eric prove to her that he wants to keep her. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, Leida interviews that she's still pissed about the money, but she gets why he needs to pay child support. And that she gets that Eric loves his daughter, but he needs to make her the top priority. I don't think you get anything, but that's Eric's problem. Also he needs to kick Tasha out of the apartment. Was there a big part of this conversation that they cut? Because this seems too abrupt.

Steven and Olga head for Moscow, because Steven doesn't care about Olga's visa as much as he cares about his son's citizenship. You'll note that Olga just has the baby on her lap and not in the car seat, while they're in the cab. This time they're flying and not taking a train. Olga knows they're there to go to the embassy, but Olga is also thrilled to see her friend Anna, and she starts crying when she sees her. Steven admits in the dual confessional that he's a little nervous to meet Anna because he knows she's “worried” about him. That was a surprising amount of self-awareness. Olga makes a great face at this sentence, because you know exactly why Anna is worried about him. It's because Olga told her all about Steven's stupid ass. Anna says they're best friends, and Olga is like part of the family.

They all sit on the grass, and Anna says she's been waiting to meet Steven. Anna was Olga's support during her pregnancy (although it sounds like maybe that was done long-distance) and so for her the most important thing is to know Olga is OK. Steven insists that she can ask whatever she wants, so Anna gets right to it and asks about the “tensions”. Steven tells her they argued and he walked out of the house. I thought he was going to leave out the part where he started it, but no, he's still so convinced he was right that he has no problem telling Anna all about how he was doing everything around the house and Olga wouldn't thank him ever. Olga rolls her eyes and accuses him of just complaining all the time. Steven doesn't think this is complaining, because he's just telling her what happened. So do they have fewer arguments now...? No one will answer. Anna interviews that she is sure they're still arguing, and she wants Steven to understand he needs to be a man and a responsible father, and dependable. Providing your child with citizenship is not all it takes. Then Anna asks if there were no baby, would he even be with Olga? Steven tries to deflect by saying they didn't expect a baby, and that's true, but is he here for the child? Or for Olga? Steven doesn't know what would happen if they didn't have a baby. Well that's telling. Olga interviews that every couple has fights, but Steven seems unhappy in the relationship. In addition to the part where he couldn't even manage to pretend he might love Olga. Anna says she worries about Olga and Steven needs to take care of her, and Steven responds that he understands and that he does respect that Anna said those things. But Olga knows that Steven loves his son more than her. Anna leaves, and Steven promises he'll take good care of Olga. Uh huh.

Colt was surprised by John's reaction, because he hasn't been paying attention this whole time. Or maybe he just thought no one was going to yell? Also he claims he didn't do anything but sit there because everyone was crazy, and one more crazy person wasn't a good idea. You can still participate and not be passive without being “crazy”. Larissa comes downstairs and tells Colt that his mother “poisoned” them and she told him it would happen. All of Colt's family is against her, and now Larissa is claiming she wanted to have allies in John and Lea but no longer. Colt tells her that it doesn't matter what Mom does, Larissa “comes off as” rude. There is no way John showed up to that house intending to try to get along with Larissa. Just like I think Larissa was waiting for someone to say something so she could argue too. They talk over each other for a minute, and then Colt says that she should have been nice, but she's not because she thinks their mind is already made up. OK but we all saw that John wouldn't say hi to her and that's on tape. She's not giving them a reason not to hate her. Larissa doesn't think that Colt is supporting her. She tells him if she wanted money she'd marry a sugar daddy. True. Colt tries to explain that John just has these ideas that a hot Brazilian girl would only want him for money and a green card. It's their “responsibility” to show John that's not true. Larissa doesn't want to have to fake emotions so they're comfortable. Then she reiterates that no one is allowed at her wedding if they're against her. Then Larissa decides to yell at Mom, saying she knows that Mom says a lot of shit about her, but she doesn't care. But Mom doesn't even talk to John. That's entirely possible? Larissa blames her for enough, don't blame her for John. Colt thinks the problem here is that they both think the worst about the other one. Larissa flies off the handle, and she asks what she's doing wrong. Colt tells her to look in a mirror. Meanwhile Mom is putting something away, and she closes the pantry door or whatever, so Larissa tells her not to slam doors. No one slammed any doors, honestly. You'll know when someone slams a door. Both Colt and Mom tell Larissa that no one slammed a door, and then Mom is like “I'll show you slamming a door” and she slams it. Yeah, you deserved that. Mom says she's done, and then Larissa is like “put your hands on me and I'll call the police” even though no one was doing anything near that.

Mom goes upstairs and Colt tells Larissa she's not the victim and she needs to calm down. She can't talk to people like that. Colt tells her she's not perfect, no one is, and she thinks everyone is always against her. Everyone has problems, but she takes offense at everything. I think she was justified to take offense at the stuff John was saying but sure. Colt continues about how she threatens them with American laws but she can't even drive a car. What was that dig for? Larissa says OK, then take your fucking ring and marry a woman that your mom likes, and fuck you. Colt says his mother doesn't matter, which is rich. Larissa claims to be the victim of his mother, and everyone else, and Colt is saying she's wrong. Now Colt is hurt, and he says it's because he put a lot of effort into proposing and giving her the ring. You're not hurt that she said “fuck you”? You're not hurt that everyone hates her and she hates everyone? You're hurt because of the effort? Now he might not want to marry her. He picks the ring up off the floor but doesn't go upstairs. I think the problem here is Colt thinks he doesn't have to take sides here, but there's no way Larissa will allow him to stay neutral.

Leida tells us that she's going to “let” Eric pay child support, because she understands that's how it works in America, and also she really likes Eric's daughter and she's glad Alless will have someone to spend time with. So I guess Leida figured out that Eric would refuse to marry her unless she got over this, and that she'd have to go home, so now she's trying to pretend that she's totally fine with this idea. But she's still fighting with Tasha. Leida complains that she's dirty, and lazy, and she's not trying to find a place, and it's too crowded for four people in a two bedroom apartment, and if she's really a priority to Eric he needs to prove it by kicking Tasha out.

Tasha comes home, and Leida immediately asks what she's doing in her room. To me it looked like someone who was half-packed. Tasha responds by asking what Leida is doing in her room, and Leida tries to claim she just popped in? I'm not sure. The door was all the way closed and really, I'd be more concerned about dishes and stuff than whatever you can close the door on. Tasha doesn't see the problem, and Leida says if she has time to hang out with her boyfriend, she could clean up her mess. I honestly think Leida is about to cry over this. You can hear the hitch in her voice. It's unacceptable, because Leida has problems with mess, and Tasha keeps doing it. Are we saying that Leida is a germophobe or something? Tasha says well, she has a problem with invasion of privacy and that's illegal. Is it illegal? I mean, there was no reason for Leida to open the door and look at Tasha's room, but illegal? Tasha says it's her house and her room, so Leida responds that it no longer matters because she wants Tasha to move out now. Tasha gets sarcastic and says that's cute, but she doesn't care. Leida tries to pull Eric into this, while he's at work and can't contradict her, and says she told him that Tasha needs to move out. But since Eric and Tasha are the ones on the lease, it's between the two of them. Leida yells that she's the boss right now. Nope, she's not Tasha's mom, and she doesn't have to roll over every time Leida is upset. Leida is losing (because Tasha won't fall for her “I'm not happy” line) so she says that Eric doesn't want Tasha here either. Tasha doesn't believe it, and says that it's only because he doesn't want to argue with Leida. Leida came here and “destroyed everything.” Tasha says “make me leave”.

Leida claims that she has proof that Eric wants Tasha to move out, so she goes to get her phone. Tasha follows her and says it's only because of Leida. Eric can't show any support for Tasha because Leida threatens to leave him. Tasha's side of the story is that Eric told her that it can't look like he's defending Tasha because Leida freaks out. “So if you're going to threaten to leave him then get the fuck out of my country.” So that feels a little racist but also exactly what I was saying earlier. Leida is trying to read texts from Eric, but they're texts like “I'll get on her” and “I told her the room needs to be empty”. So from Leida's perspective, Eric doesn't defend Tasha and is on Leida's side, but Tasha's argument is that he is faking that. So Leida calls Eric to make him back her up, I guess. She leads with how Tasha doesn't want to move out so “I guess I'm going out, then”. Dramatic. Eric claims he never said he doesn't want Tasha to move out, except that Tasha was saying Eric couldn't defend her. Eric says he's not defending Tasha, and he's not going to. I guess she's spending all her time at her boyfriend's, so Eric says she doesn't even stay there, and get your shit and get out. Is that how he really feels? Or is it because he knows he's on speaker and Leida is right there? Guess we'll never know.

After a commercial, which is also suitably dramatic, Leida says Tasha is refusing to leave, so I guess they'll move back to Indonesia. See, this is the kind of shit that Tasha is calling her on and she should, because really. Eric says don't do anything until he gets home, and Tasha adds on that Leida should leave because she doesn't deserve Eric anyway. Eric tells Tasha again to leave. Leida is now crying again, and asks if that's how his daughter always treats him, and if this was Indonesia do you know what would happen? She never finishes that so I'm guessing nothing. Eric claims he didn't raise Tasha to do this, to not be selfish. Now Leida thinks that Alless will grow up like Tasha. Sure. Tasha says that Leida has promised not to touch her stuff or look at her room. Eric wants Leida to stay calm, but he already just kicked Tasha out, and that's what the fight was about, right? So why is he still acting like Leida is going to leave? Tasha comes into the living room with two bags and says this is only temporary, she's done with Leida's dramatics. They have a dumb final fight about dirt. I don't know. Tasha is still pissed, because she feels like Eric can't show her affection because of Leida. It's all bullshit. Leida doesn't care if she's the evil stepmother, because this will get her a better life for Alless. Then she starts ranting about how no one wants to live in a dirty place unless they're mentally unstable. Calm down, it's a messy teenager's room.

Tasha left a bunch of shit in the room, so Leida is putting stuff in boxes. But Tasha comes back, I guess because she wasn't done removing her stuff. Obviously she can't take everything in the first trip, but now she's livid because when she got back to the apartment, Leida was in there doing whatever. Now she can vacuum. Tasha says she hopes Leida is fucking happy, Eric could do better than her, obviously he didn't learn anything after his last bad relationship. Leida claims Eric is all over her, and she told him to call off the wedding. Yes, you did, and then Eric said he was going to keep paying child support, and suddenly you're fine with it, so who won exactly? Leida and Tasha call each other cunts and Tasha leaves again. She says that her dad doesn't want her around, so then she must not exist to him and she's not going to their wedding. She's sniffling a bit, because she feels like Eric disowned her because of Leida. Eric doesn't have to choose, but she's his daughter.

Ashley and Jay have 4 days to get married. They're packing for Vegas. Ashley says they've had to tackle a lot of issues. Like Natalie, and racists. Jay never dreamt of getting married, so this is odd for him. They're wearing their wedding outfits, so as not to waste them. But Jay's ready to get married. He puts on his jacket and struts a little bit. They talk about packing (I think Ashley is massively overpacked) and then someone starts ringing the doorbell a bunch and banging on the door. And hollering. They don't show either of them looking at the damn cameras they set up, they just show Ashley flinging the door open to reveal Natalie. I really hope they looked first and then just cut that part out, otherwise what was the point of putting the cameras in?

Next time: Larissa complains that Colt doesn't compliment her enough, Leida and Eric's ex fight, Kalani freaks out again about whatever, Steven is still planning to take his son from Olga, Natalie did not take the gift of being free from Ashley's drama, Jonathan fucked up again somehow.
