90 Day Fiance; The Other Way- Season 6 Episode 9

Joanne & My Boyfriend Sean:

Back in the land of pizza and bagels, Joanne was gearing up to bring her kids to Ireland so they could meet their dreamy new surprise stepfather, Sean. Mother Joanne accompanied them to JFK airport, as she stopped to chat with Noelle, Joanne’s best friend who was coming along on the trip to vet the new guy. Back in Ireland, Sean was driving to the airport along with his eight year old daughter Bella Rose, who he has full custody of. He got weepy talking about his love for his daughter, who is equal parts adorable and feisty. Sean hadn’t exactly been honest with Bella about his relationship with Joanne, claiming that they were just friends, though she saw right through his Tom Fibbery (That’s what I imagine they call “fibs” in Ireland).

The father daughter duo waited patiently as Joanne, the kids and Noelle deplaned and they were all reunited. Sean and Joanne had to play it cool in front of the crowd, managing to give each other a solid hug before piling into the car to head to the hotel. Sean tried desperately to make conversation with the boys, which fell flat. I guess he only has an impact on the ladyfolk….

Shekinah & The Sarper Image:

Back in Turkey, the power couple were celebrating their joint birthdays, which were on the same date but 2 years apart (and really only the same date because of the different time zones). They met up with the Family Sarper and dropped the news that they had applied for the K1-Visa so Sarper could bring his gift of fitness and rugged good looks to L.A. Shekinah teared up talking about her relationship with her own family, who jointly hate the Sarper Image and want to tear up his catalog since he was so rude when Sister Shekinah, Shamalamadingdong, visited Turkey. She realized The Family Sarper were sad to hear he’d be leaving, and worried they would influence his decision to go, meaning the inevitable demise of the twin flames.

Unfortunately things took a turn for the worst, as the night seemed to spiral out of control. Sarper and Shekinah got into a fight over a makeup vanity, which ultimately led to him stealing her phone and accidentally ripping out her hair extension. Shekinah decided to leave, packing up her fancy pup and all of her many belongings as she left Sarper to sit and count his bottle collection all by himself, while listening to Celine Dion’s version of “All By Myself”. She headed to a hotel for the night, vowing not to smooth things over with the smooth operator by the morning. Let’s see how long this lasts… Hair extensions may come and go, but twin flames are forever.

Corona & Ingi:

It was “Meet the Parents” day in Iceland, as Corona put on a more covered-up goth outfit for the big meeting, worrying about how they may judge her (Yet still choosing to wear boots that looked like they came from the Spice Girl reject pile). They drove to Brother Ingi’s frozen house where they were greeted warmly. Ingi’s parents seemed to like Corona, even asking her to give them grandchildren soon, as they were in their 80’s. Though she felt like the Family Ingi were very welcoming, Corona couldn’t help but think things were a bit backwards, as no one had mentioned the idea of having a Viking themed wedding. Ing-meister seemed to squirm in his seat every time his parents brought up the idea of kids, as he seems like the kind of guy who’s here for a good time, not a long time.

Benson & Stabler:

The gals enjoyed their first few days in their new portable home, making up for their rocky airport reunion. Their first stop for their nomadic lifestyle was destination France, where Stater would be living/working/sleeping all from the comforts of the van. That’s about it. That’s all that happened. I think it would be more exciting if it turned into one of those horror movies where the two girls were traveling and some rabid trucker followed them down the highway, tormenting them on the road where they inevitably pull into an old skeezy motel. Statler might think she’s safe and decide to relax in the icky hotel bathtub, until the trucker bursts in the bathroom, ridiculing her for peeing in her own bath water. But no…. They’ll probably just fight about money instead…..
