July 21, 2020

There were tears, rose petals, and more tears on 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way Season 2, Episode 8.

Brittany's awful confrontation with Yazan's toxic parents left her shaking and crying and having a full-on meltdown.

She wasn't just experiencing culture shock. She was in shock, wailing in despair about her life and her future ... until Yazan found a way to cheer her up.

For the first time, we met Melyza. She and her dad seem to be the only people in her life looking forward to Tim's arrival in Columbia.

Jenny learns exactly how many hurdles she and Sumit must jump in order to be together. There's more to it than a challenging divorce.

Jihoon fully weeps as he confesses how he has totally screwed up his life and done even worse to Deavan's.

Finally, Kenneth and Armando are reunited at last ... but everyone's favorite couple from this season are dropping hints at possible struggles to come.

1. Brittany is reeling

Brittany banks breaks down sobbing
Brittany Banks just met Yazan Abo Horira's parents, and it was a disaster. Yazan's previous obscenity-laden freakout was just a preview for the main event, and Brittany doesn't even know all that was said about her -- she just heard yelling.

2. She doesn't understand!

Brittany banks does not understand what she did wrong
Brittany covered up thoroughly, wearing a hijab even though she herself is not Muslim. She was, by American standards, polite and respectful.

3. Yazan says that it's all her fault

Yazan abo horira you dont see yourself how you talk
He "explains" to her why his parents flipped out, blaming it on Brittany's behavior rather than on Yazan's inability to communicate their expectations to her, or upon the lies that he has told them about her -- claiming that she will convert to Islam when she had ruled that out.

4. It's not helping

Brittany banks is distraught
How, Brittany understandably wonders, could the way that she TALKS be offensive to his parents? Remember, she has been to Jordan before -- she just hadn't met Yazan's parents.

5. Yazan describes it as "insolence"

Yazan abo horira she was being insolent with them
In the US, it is normal for engagements to last many months, and often at least one year. Yazan explains that her request to push the wedding date back -- which he knew about, though he did not know the reason -- was the source of his parents' outrage. Well, one source of it.

6. Also, Brittany's assertiveness was an issue

Yazan abo horira quotes dont call me baby
Brittany had repeatedly asked Yazan before they went there to stop calling her his "baby." She doesn't like it, and no one should be called something that they don't like. However, Yazan insisted on calling her "baby" again in front of his parents, prompting her to remind him to not call her that. This, he says, was a factor in his mom's explosive freakout. Yazan apparently doesn't see this as 100% his fault.
