Amira is finally safely back in France after her detention ... but Andrew's eyebrow raising activities are followed by an outrageous request.
Finally, Julia finally gives Brandon a much-needed ultimatum.
You just know that Betty is going to flip out.
1. Mike Youngquist and Natalie Mordovtseva
After their very upsetting fight -- where Natalie body-shamed Mike, diet-shamed him, called him low-class and implied that he was uncultured and stupid, and Mike got in a couple of jabs of his own -- they are both in the mood to reconcile, as Natalie offers Mike an apology and he accepts and reciprocates.
2. "I think I was overreacting"
At face value, it's hard to even say what Natalie was "reacting" to in a way that doesn't make her sound like a villain. She shot down several foods that Mike wanted to eat, insisted on shrimp and rice, and then lashed out when Mike suggested stir fry. Part of her anger seemed to be on her lack of control over him (she lamented that "he doesn't care" when ... if Mike at any point asked her to try to micromanage his habits, we must have missed it), the other part over not having the ring back.
3. Natalie has chosen a positive outlook
But, as you will see as this recap goes on, she has not let go of her desire for the ring.
4. Here's how Natalie sees it
" realize I have two choices: either I'm married, either I'm right. I prefer to be married," she says. That sounds ... unhappy. It's unclear what she thinks that she is "right" about, though given that Natalie has displayed obvious signs of disordered eating, she may genuinely believe that her dietary choices are the only right way to live.
5. Meet Mike's mom!
Trish lives in Oklahoma. She and Mike speak very regularly, but they only see each other about once per year.
6. Things start off well
Natalie compliments Trish initially. We're sure that some fans are going to question Trish's hairstyle, but she is clearly an intelligent woman.
