Sarper Gives Shekinah The Ultimate Surprise
We open on a scene of Shekinah and Sarper headed on a romantic boat date. Sarper toasts to their relationship and the way that Shekinah has opened him up to commitment. They take in the view of the water and Sarper notes that they’re actually perfectly between two continents.
On the deck, Sarper performs a song he’s written for Shekinah, then surprises her with a proposal. Shekinah is shocked and says that of course she’ll marry him. Later, the two have an engagement party with Sarper’s relatives, following the Turkish tradition of cutting a ribbon to symbolize their union.

One couple has their wedding while another wedding is at risk.
Shekinah has a touching conversation with Sarper’s cousin, Fusun, who shares that Shekinah now feels like a sister to her. Her kind words make Shekinah miss her own sisters, to whom she hasn’t been speaking, and she hopes Sarper coming to the US for his K-1 visa will allow him to get to know her family better too.
Sarper tells his relatives that he has to go to the US for the K-1 visa, though he reassures them that his plan is for them to eventually return to Turkey. Though Shekinah’s own family isn’t supportive of her, she feels very loved and accepted by Sarper’s, making her feel hopeful for the future.
Corona And Ingi Move Past Their First Fight
Meanwhile, Corona and Ingi take a tour of some ice caves and tunnels. They make their way into a chapel housed completely within the ice cave, talking about their future. Corona shares her newfound reservations about their long-term path:
I don’t know that the same plan that I originally set out is going to happen now that I know how you feel about getting married. And so I don’t know what to do.
Corona tells Ingi that it may be best for her to return to the US and finish her education first — she still has a spot open at Penn that she can accept within the new two weeks. Ingi calls the situation “a pickle,” and she’s frustrated that he’s not trying harder to fight for her.
Later, Ingi clarifies that he does feel like Corona is his person, and now that he knows how much marriage means to her, he understands that they’ll eventually get married. Corona is relieved to have Ingi open up, but it makes her decision about whether to stay or return to Penn that much harder.

Lily And Josh’s Wedding Is Nearly Canceled
Next we see Josh and Lily, stressed as they don’t have a way to pay for their wedding venue on the day of the event. When Josh’s credit cards don’t go through, Lily has to call the bank to get a loan. Though the payment finally goes through, Lily tells the cameras she feels that Josh failed at his duties as her future husband.
Nevertheless, they proceed with the ceremony, wearing traditional Chinese garments, doing a ceremonial bow to each other, and tying their hair together to symbolize becoming one. Afterward, Josh apologizes to Lily’s daughter Vivian for his past behavior, and she tells the cameras that she hopes Josh will continue to change going forward.
James Heads Back To The States
We pick up with James and Meitalia, who are at another sticking point. James is heading back to the US to work and save up money, but Meitalia has chosen to stay back in her hometown. Apparently she only wants to come to the US if her sister Angel can accompany her, and James worries if that will ever actually happen.
Later, Meitalia has to translate to her parents that James is leaving and that she’s not following him. Hearing that her daughter will be separated from her husband, Meitalia’s mother says she’s extremely disappointed, and Meitalia even admits to the cameras that she’s finding it hard to trust James’ word.

Still in Ireland with Sean, Joanne does a video call with her son Joey to ask how he’s feeling about the news that she’s married.

Joanne tells the cameras that she’ll honor her sons’ wishes, but now she worries about breaking the news to Sean.
When she tells Sean she needs to stay with her kids until they’re no longer minors, he shares his frustrations with the cameras:
I’m just angry at myself, angry at both of us, to be honest, for being so naive thinking that this was going to work out.
While he understands that the kids need to come first, the thought of being apart for another six years is a hard pill to swallow, and he tells her he’s not sure that he can make it that long.
