90 Day Fiance The Other Way Recap: Jenny Slatten is DONE with Sumit Singh's Excuses!

August 30, 2021

90 Day Fiance: The Other Way is back for Season 3!

The premiere of one of the franchise's most beloved and refreshing spinoffs is here.

Series OGs Jenny and Sumit's story absolutely stole the show.

Sumit's perpetual heel-dragging and inability to make a decision on his own threatens to doom their relationship.

Ariela and Biniyam return, still living in Ethiopia.

A lot of the existing problems in their marriage haven't gone away, and they're about to add a new one.

Season 3 introduces new couples, including Ellie and Victor.

But all of the uncertainty in the set-up of their story takes a back seat when a devastating hurricane leaves Ellie wondering if he has died.

Another new couple is Steven and Alina.

In the premiere we meet Steven, who is clearly quite a handful.

The ever-contentious Corey and Evelin are back, dealing with the aftermath of a one-month "break."

COVID lockdown saved their relationship, but the lies that Corey has told about his time in Peru could break them up all over again.

1. Jenny Slatten and Sumit Singh

Their third season on the show (yes, they are three-for-three OGs on 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way, having been on every season since the start) begins with Sumit very sweetly waking up Jenny and presenting her with flowers.

2. They recap their history

Sumit singh and jenny slatten recap how they met on season 3
They met nearly a decade ago after Sumit, working in a call center, catfished Jenny -- though she praises that he is more handsome than the image that he used to deceive her. She flew to India in 2013 and deflowered Sumit before returning, and they kept a long-distance relationship for years despite their 30-year age gap. Many years and one secret marriage (Sumit has since gotten divorced) later, they are still not married -- because Sumit's parents object, and will cut him out of their lives if he married Jenny.

3. Sumit has a surprise for Jenny

Sumit singh you know that i have an astrologer
They leave their home to go visit Sumit's astrologer. This isn't a hobby for Sumit; he looks to astrology, the mystical analysis of people and events through the movements of planets and constellations, for guidance in his life with total sincerety.

4. Jenny does not believe in star magic

Sumit singh so khalid this is jenny
Honestly, it's downright progressive for the middle-aged white woman from California to not be the one in the relationship who takes astrology seriously. (By the way, the cards that they're wearing aren't IDs ... they are some sort of placebo/talisman that were apparently popularized in India at the start of the pandemic as repelling the virus. They don't, but people in our country are taking horse dewormer and refusing a free vaccine, so it's not like we American viewers have any high ground when it comes to nonsensical responses to the pandemic)

5. Sumit isn't kidding

Sumit singh this is also science
For the record, astronomy is a science, astrology is a spiritual belief and practice. It's totally fine for Sumit to believe whatever he likes. As with other spiritual beliefs, he only runs into trouble if he demands that others share or act on those beliefs ... or if he insists that those beliefs are scientifically proven.

6. Khalid the astrologer has some advice

Khalid the astrologer you dont have to force a marriage very fas
He assures Sumit and Jenny that, not to worry, they don't need to rush into marriage. (Is it "rushing" to marry after nearly a decade of being in a relationship together?)
