90 Day The Other Way, S2 EP2

Saints Kenneth & Saint Armando: Patron Saints of 90 Day Fiances:
Armando explained more about his life and his past, as well as his family’s reaction to his first outing of the closet. He had told his family that the film crew was documenting “life in Mexico”, which seems harmless enough, and hopefully they don’t google what other little gems Sharp Entertainment has produced….(his mom will be glad no one asked her to cook chicken feet).
Armando and his sister had a touching and tearful talk about his sexuality and how difficult it will be to bring his parents up to speed on not only the fact that he is infact gay, but that he is now moving to be with a man 26 years older than him and taking his daughter with him. His sister will miss him terribly, but is supportive and apologized for her original reaction. 

Kenneth has a gathering with his family back home in the F L A to inform them that he will be proposing to his 31 year old boyfriend. They seem to be a really great family without anything to comment.  No really, they’re all attractive with great skin and they seem nice, WTF.  I digress…. Can’t get enough of Kenneth and Armando.

Jenny & Sumit/Sue-me/Sioux-meat:
Sumit explains how hard it has been to live without his ladylove, Jenny, for 5 months. After a rousing game of cricket in white pants (which are flattering on absolutely no one), Sue-mee tells his best friends about his life plans with Jenny and her epic return to India. His friends are skeptical, doubtful, confused…… and also worried about his ability to carry on the “Soo-meet” family name with a wife who can’t “tote”. Smee tells his friends that he is paying back his parents for the cost of the divorce on his salary of zero dollars a year, plus dental and vision.

Later we see Soomit and his brother moving furniture into the old house that he had rented for Jenny’s return. Brother Suemee (who noticeably got all of the good genes) expresses his concern for Sumit being with a woman 30 years his senior, probably because the eldest son is supposed to take care of their elderly parents, not their elderly wife. Sumit explains he is in love with Jenny and he doesn’t care what anybody says (sure, Jan…. we heard this last season. My mom calls it “BTNA”- Big Talk No Action), and brother Sumit realizes he’ll probably just end up sending his parents to Shady Pines WITH Jenny and getting a group deal. 

Meanwhile in Palm Springs, Jenny discusses with her financial advisor how she should wisely spend the rest of her $200 from her last trip to India, and if she should take her social security payments early to fund “Jenny & Sumit do India: Part Two”. We then watch as Jenny says goodbye to her family and comfortable couch she’s been surfing on as she gets on the plane to India (hope she got the Kosher meal on the plane, I wouldn’t want to eat a lot of curry on a 20+ hour flight). 

Brittany & Yazan:
Brittany packs everything and the wig stand for her big move to Jordan. She is so excited to start her life with Yazan and his beard in his neck of the woods, but is also nervous to tell her betrothed the truth about her lingering marital status.There is also that little issue of cultural/ religious differences hanging in the balance, but ya know….. That beard is just so cute!!
Back in Jordan, Yazan is hanging around ye old fish market talking to his brother about Brittany’s arrival, and Brother Yazan is less than thrilled. He thinks it might be better if Yazan marries one of his own, and he must be a very literal person, because he meant one of his own family members. Apparently that’s a big thing for Family Yazan (which better not become a new spinoff, I can’t imagine how confusing that would be “Before the 90 Days of Our Family Fiances” or “Seeking Sisterwives but actual Sisters to be Wives”). Whatever, Brother Yazan… you smell like fish. 
Brittany’s father accompanied her to the airport to see her off, smiling all the way, probably because he knows she’ll be back in about 10 minutes. 

Ariela & Bini-bini-yum-yum (sung to the Selena song):
Ariela is coming clean to her long time family friend/OBGYN that she would rather go to Ethiopia to have her baby than have HIM deliver it! (Which sounds more like a snotty threat from a teenager, but in this case, she means it). The OBGYN has an impressive amount of flowing white chest hair, like a soft little rain cloud on his chest, surely something any newborn should experience upon their entrance to Earth. But no, mama Ariela is denying her unborn child that soft, cushy experience to have the baby somewhere with possibly no guarantee of chest hair at all. 
Next we see Ariela and family sitting down for some meatballs, talking about her whole Ethiopia deal, and her sister brings up the fact that Baby-Daddy Biniyum has another child with another American woman who returned back to the states, and he hasn’t seen his son since. Ariela doesn’t seem to know too much about the situation, shockingly, but I’m sure when she returns to the U.S. with BBB jr., they can become best friends forever and raise their kids together as a new modern family. Ariela’s father, like most Jewish fathers, questioned why she couldn’t have just headed over to Brooklyn and met a nice Moshe Horowitz, but I suppose that wasn’t exoitic enough. Can’t wait to meet BBB eventually….

Deavan & Jihoony:
Welcome back to Deavan and Jihoon from last season! We see Jihoon, all alone in Korea with a sad face because Deavan took their two children and left to go back to America, due to Juney being lazy. He went to his local barber shop, and instead of joining a quartet, this barber had more of a “sensei” thing going on. The wise barber made reference to Jihoon’s small ears, called him lazy, and also gave him an Ellen Degeneres circa 1992 haircut, but hopefully that was enough to man him up and encourage him to start supporting his family.  We then saw Deavan in the U.S., jumping up and down on a trampoline in Utah with her mother and daughter Drascillla .She explained that she was the only adult in her marriage, and even had found and paid for an apartment for the family of 4 while she was in Korea. She plans to return with the kids and her mother on the promises that Jihoon has made about getting an apartment and having a job so she could be a stay at home mom (which Jihoon’s new job is apparently “tile”. I’m not sure if he lays tile, makes tile, or just stands really still and pretends to be a piece of tile… it is uncertain. Deavan’s mom has high expectations for Jihoon, claiming that he- like all 30 year olds, should own a house and have a solid savings account (as all 30 year olds watching sneer from their Ikea futons at home).
