Below is what happened on Episode 11 of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way’s fifth season.

SARPER and SHEKINAH

Sarper was shown driving to the airport to pick up Shekinah, and he admitted he was shocked to be committing to this woman given it would mean giving up his “playboy life” and all of the other girls he could meet.

Sarper joked about how some “dark magic” must have put a spell on him and if the Old Sarper could see the New Sarper, the Old Sarper would laugh at him for essentially being whipped.

Meanwhile, Shekinah said she was “so excited” to start something new and special with Sarper.

“She’s like a sex bomb but soft inside. That’s what I love about her; she has two different sides. She also loves to take care of people… She is so protective, and I like that,” Sarper explained in a confessional.

Sarper showed up with a bouquet of flowers in his hands, and this marked the first time he had ever bought flowers for a woman.

When they reunited, Shekinah ran into his arms and the pair kissed. Shekinah told Sarper that he looked “great,” and he also told her that she looked “beautiful.” Sarper said their reunion — which was something out of a romantic movie — was perfect, unique and hard to describe.

“It feels so good to be in his big, strong arms… I feel like this is where I belong!” Shekinah gushed. “I am so lucky.”

Shekinah was well aware this was Sarper’s first real relationship, and so she looked forward to diving deep with her man and talking about real issues for the first time.

Once they got to Sarper’s place, Shekinah liked the apartment and thought it looked very clean. She said, however, it looked like a bachelor pad and she’d like to change the art or the furniture.

Now that Shekinah lived there, she had an eye on the decor. She also didn’t like seeing Sarper’s video games, thinking that would be a turnoff for her since he was in his forties.

Sarper then brought Shekinah into his bedroom, and she could see that Sarper still had his old bed, which had noticeable rips and tears in it.

“I said I didn’t want to sleep in the same bed that other women have slept in,” Shekinah complained.

Sarper explained how his 12-year-old bed was so comfortable and made him happy, but Shekinah said that wasn’t okay. Sarper had told Shekinah that he had been with roughly 2,500 women. She really hated the mental image of what had caused the headboard to look so rough and beaten up.

Shekinah desired a fresh start and a fresh mattress, and so she refused to sleep in it.

Shekinah told Sarper that she was going to sleep on the couch because she had asked him to buy a new bed. Shekinah said Sarper was about to find out that he needed to do the things she requested.

Sarper asked Shekinah if she wanted to change his “d-ck” too since he had slept with so many women, and she called him “dramatic.”

Sarper therefore decided to sleep with Shekinah on the couch. This wasn’t how Shekinah imagined her first night with Sarper at all, but she wanted him to take her seriously.

“I think you teach people how to treat you, and this is his first lesson,” Shekinah told the cameras.

KIMBERLY and TEJASWI

Kimberly’s father, Curt, and stepmother wanted her to postpone the wedding over family drama with TJ’s loved ones, but Kimberly said TJ was the love of her life and she really wanted to marry him.

TJ met Kimberly’s parents during a nice dinner out, and TJ said he was feeling “super good” and everyone was excited about the wedding.

Curt, however, brought up his concerns about how TJ’s brother Yash had been treating Kimberly. He said he was concerned for Kimberly’s happiness and whether TJ’s family would ever embrace and accept her.

“They already accepted her. It’s not about acceptance. They’re okay with everything except the argument which happened. If we can rub it off, it’ll go back to the same story… They’re loving her,” TJ insisted.

“It doesn’t seem like it,” Kimberly interjected.

Kimberly explained how she wanted to feel more free in India to be herself and express herself. She didn’t like all the rules she was expected to abide by.

TJ pointed out how Kimberly could be very direct with her words and her delivery, but Kimberly said she wasn’t going to allow Yash to disrespect her or talk to her in a condescending or mean tone.

Kimberly asked TJ if her opinions, wants and needs were going to matter, and TJ asked her not to “bother” him because he was taking her side in the moment. The pair began bickering right in front of Kimberly’s parents, and TJ asked her not to fight with him.

“I asked you a question, and you should’ve just answered the question,” Kimberly said.

“Ma’am, you are not my teacher, sorry,” TJ snapped back.

TJ thought Kimberly was being very rude by interrupting her and having this conversation in front of her parents. He felt embarrassed by the way Kimberly was treating him, and this argument was “a warning sign” for everybody there, according to TJ.

TJ finally told Kimberly that, yes, her opinions would matter in their marriage, but he confessed to the cameras how he was getting really worried about his relationship.

After the family gathering, Kimberly and TJ continued fighting through text — and then suddenly, Kimberly could no longer reach him.

Kimberly wrote to TJ, “I feel like you made me to be a liar and disregarded me as a participant in the conversation because you wanted to impress my parents. I feel like I don’t matter and I’m tired of it. But obviously you don’t care, right?”

TJ responded that he was tired and wanted to wait until the morning to talk. TJ then apparently wrote Kimberly a long message.

“[He was] saying how he can’t do this anymore and he needs to cut off his existence in my life,” Kimberly disclosed. “I’ve given up everything, and it’s never once wavered in my mind that he’s the man I want to marry — and he breaks up with me at 2AM.”

TJ wrote to Kimberly how he had tried his best and felt like he failed. He could tell she wasn’t happy with him and she viewed him as a problem. He signed his text with, “Love you, Kimberly. Take care.”

Kimberly’s stepmother didn’t really think TJ was breaking up with Kimberly, who still wanted TJ in her life. Kimberly cried and said she didn’t know what was going to happen.

Kimberly vented to her stepmom, “I know I can be a b-tch and I know I can be a handful.”

Kimberly’s stepmother told Kimberly to express her true feelings to TJ because it would be a real shame if things didn’t work out between them.

Kimberly and TJ then spoke on the phone. TJ had apparently reached his limit and suggested that Kimberly had multiple personalities.

Kimberly told TJ that she loved him and didn’t want to end their relationship, but TJ reiterated, “I’m really done with this.”

“So this is it?” Kimberly asked.

“Yeah, I’m really very sad about this,” TJ replied.

WAYNE and HOLLY

After a stressful couple of days, including Holly finding out about Wayne’s dire financial situation, Wayne tried to do something nice for Holly and his mom.

Holly had a lot to do at home in order to prepare for the wedding, but Wayne and his sister took Holly and her mother on a safari ride. Wayne wanted to show the pair the beauty of South Africa given all they had learned about was crime and the negative things.

Holly and her mother got to see lions and beautiful views. Wayne’s sister thought Wayne and Holly were “a perfect match,” and she said she couldn’t wait for them to tie the knot and for Holly to join her family.

The wedding was going to feature 15 guests, but Holly didn’t have her wedding dress ready.

She said her anxiety was at a 10 during the outing because there were so many things on her mind that she needed to get done.

Wayne’s sister was Holly’s only friend in South Africa, and so she promised to make Holly’s big day very special for her.

MARY and BRANDAN

Mary and Brandan were able to have some privacy since Mary’s grandfather was away working in Manila.

The look on Brandan’s face led viewers to believe that he and Mary had been intimate, and then Mary was shown taking two positive pregnancy tests.

“We’re having a baby now!” Mary revealed.

Mary told the cameras that this baby was “a blessing” and she felt “very happy” and “excited” about the news. Mary predicted they’d be great parents.

Brandan said he was happy, but he appeared a little shocked and overwhelmed. Brandan told Mary that he just needed some time to process things.

Mary initially wanted to wait until marriage to have sex, but she said she changed her mind because she felt very confident in her love for Brandan. She felt ready to give her “all” to him and pointed out how they’re only human.

Mary admitted she had serious baby fever, and so she and Brandan were apparently intentionally “trying” to get pregnant when they were having sex.

“Things just got a lot more complicated,” Brandan shared in a confessional.

Brandan told Mary that he felt nervous and anxious, and Mary felt the same way because she didn’t know how her grandparents were going to react.

Mary knew Brandan was going to marry her at one point, but they clearly conceived before becoming husband and wife.

Mary then came down with a little morning sickness, and Brandan vented about how he hoped the couple could handle everything that was on their plate.

Brandan was previously confident they could handle a baby, but now he was second-guessing himself.

DANIELE and YOHAN

Daniele and Yohan were on their way to meet with an immigration lawyer to talk about the different options they had for a visa so that Yohan could travel to New York. She hoped Yohan would be able to receive a Tourist Visa.

Yohan, meanwhile, kept mentioning “green card” to Daniele, and he said he was very excited about the idea of being able to travel outside of the Dominican Republic and see the United States. He wished they had done this work earlier so that he’d already have his papers to travel.

“But it’s a positive thing. It’s a good thing,” Yohan noted.

Daniele told their lawyer, Anginette, that the goal was to continue living in the Dominican Republic but be able to travel to the United States whenever they wanted to. Daniele joked about how Yohan probably had a different goal but they were going to do things her way.

In order to start the process, Daniele and Yohan needed to agree on whether they were going to apply for an immigrant visa or a Tourist Visa.

“I feel like it makes more sense to apply for the Tourist Visa because I think applying for a green card requires an unbelievable amount of commitment and trust from the both of us, and I don’t feel like we are at a place in our relationship where we really have that 100 percent right now,” Daniele explained to the cameras.

“I also feel like Yohan has never been to the United States, so why would you commit to living somewhere that you’ve never visited?”

Daniele said she’d be willing to go forward with a Tourist Visa, but Yohan thought that was the wrong move and said it wasn’t enough. Yohan said Daniele didn’t want him building a life in the U.S., which he thought was “selfish” on her part.

Yohan said he wanted the visa “a man with an American wife should have.”
