90 Day Fiance Happily Ever After Recap: Brandon Gibbs and Julia Trubkina Storm Out of Betty's Ambush!
June 14, 2021
Sunday night's 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? was a particularly divisive episode.
On Season 6, Episode 8, Betty Gibbs returned to her role as the villain of Brandon and Julia's storyline.
Angela admitted that she was still smoking heavily, and desperate enough to try something new.
Elizabeth had a less violent confrontation with her sisters following the yacht incident.
Kalani and Asuelu head to a sex toy shop to get supplies for their romantic getaway.
Natalie ends her Thanksgiving visit on a sour note, but this time, she's not the main villain.
And Tiffany has great news, but Ronald's expectations are downright unrealistic.
1. Brandon Gibbs and Julia Trubkina
Brandon and Julia headed for what they believed was going to be a family party for Brandon's dad, Ron. He turned 70 last year.
2. Party time!
While it is baffling and upsetting to see a bunch of people gathering indoors (in 2020, no less) during the COVID-19 pandemic, if we pretend that this whole thing wasn't a massively irresponsible risk that didn't need to happen at all, it looks sweet.
3. Until ...
Half of the decorations are for a birthday party. Half of them are decorations for a wedding.
4. IT'S A TRAP
Brandon and Julia specifically shot down the idea of any kind of wedding celebration for them. They already got married. They're not looking to do a wedding 2.0. And if they did, they would want to plan it -- and it would likely be in Russia.
5. "Just grin and bear it"
Brandon and Julia's expressions say it all, but extreme social pressures that encourage people to be polite when there's a gathering make it so hard to confront villainy when it's right in your face. Betty's controlling, narcissistic behavior is nothing new -- we've seen it since literally the first episode of last season. But this is the first time that we've seen her rope a whole roomful of others into an unwitting role like this.
6. Brandon sees Betty for what she is
He correctly notes that this wedding party isn't for them -- because he and Julia didn't want it. This wedding party isn't for Ron -- it takes the spotlight away form his birthday. Instead, the party is for Betty. It's what Betty wants, and she either cannot or does not wish to value the wishes of others. It's pathological.
