Brandan justified his use of the term “bitch” when arguing with his wife, Mary, by explaining that he believes it empowers her to assert herself confidently.
The final episode of TLC’s 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 5 unveiled the fate of Daniele, Wayne, and Sarper’s relationships. Though their stories have concluded on the show for now, the two-hour tell-all episode provided closure for each couple, albeit with varying degrees of messiness. Holly and Wayne, Shekinah and Sarper, Kirsten and Julio, Brandan and Mary, Kimberly and TJ, Daniele and Yohan, and Kenny and Armando have all moved on to the next chapters of their lives, some together and some apart. Let’s dive into what fans discovered about each couple during the finale. Starting with Holly and Wayne…
There might be hope for Holly and Wayne to salvage their marriage in the future. The couple, who have been separated for four months, have decided to give their relationship another chance. During a FaceTime conversation, Holly expressed her desire to reconcile with Wayne.
“I want to come back and be with you again. Are you still willing to be with me?” she asked him. Wayne, who was uncertain about the outcome, responded, “I believe we have a lot of work to do, but you are my soulmate… we are meant to be together.”
During their conversation, Wayne promised to make an effort to understand Holly’s emotions better and provide her with continuous support. In return, Holly vowed to become stronger and not let their emotional moments overshadow their relationship.
Regarding Shekinah and Sarper, there is no information provided to paraphrase.
Shekinah gave Sarper a serious ultimatum, demanding that he get rid of his little black book. The couple’s tumultuous love story took a backseat when another man, Dan, entered the picture. Dan, a long-time friend of Shekinah’s, had previously expressed his romantic feelings for her and used the Tell All event to make his case once again. During the virtual meeting, he held up a sign asking for a chance with Shekinah and clashed with her over conflicting stories about their past sexual encounters. Shekinah insisted they were never intimate, while Dan claimed otherwise.
Dan also voiced his concerns about Sarper and Shekinah’s fitness routines and diet restrictions. He expressed his attraction to Shekinah just the way she is and believed Sarper should appreciate her for who she is. Sarper defended their dynamic by saying that Shekinah enjoys taking care of him, to which she agreed, saying it brings her happiness.
Things took a dramatic turn when Sarper revealed his method for keeping track of his numerous sexual partners. He pulled out a color-coded notebook filled with X’s, each representing a different woman. The color indicated how attractive he found them to be. Shekinah was deeply disturbed by this revelation and made it clear that she could not continue the relationship unless he got rid of the notebook. The rest of the cast was shocked by Sarper’s casual approach to his sexual encounters and questioned his respect for women, as well as his decision to quantify his intimate partners in such a calculated manner.
In a separate storyline, Brandan and Mary’s relationship was not mentioned in the given content.
Welcome to the wonderful world of parenthood, as Mary and Brandan proudly introduced their one-month-old daughter, Midnight. However, the journey to bring Midnight into the world was not without its challenges. Mary faced a potentially frightening situation during childbirth when the umbilical cord became wrapped around the baby’s neck. Thankfully, both mother and baby emerged from the experience unharmed and healthy.
Despite becoming parents, not much seems to have changed in Mary and Brandan’s relationship. Brandan continues to indulge in his video game habit, and he even justifies his use of an unfavorable term when arguing with Mary. He believes that using the word “bitch” will encourage her to stand up for herself and assert her boundaries.
The rest of the cast members are uncertain about how to handle Brandan’s behavior. His mother, Angela, joined the group to shed light on the ongoing challenges in Mary and Brandan’s relationship. She observed that Brandan’s instinct in stressful situations is to withdraw and leave, which causes distress to Mary.
Mary recalled a recent incident where Brandan angrily confronted her while she was holding their baby. Angela urged both Mary and Brandan to seek therapy, emphasizing that it is essential for Brandan to control his anger and refrain from raising his voice in front of their daughter. She encouraged Mary to understand that seeking therapy is not a sign of weakness or failure but an opportunity to grow and learn healthier ways to cope.
As a potential fresh start, the couple is contemplating a move to America with their baby. Although they have established a life together, Mary feels hesitant due to her grandmother’s illness, which still keeps her anchored in their current location.
Daniele and Yohan are up next in the story.
Daniele and Yohan are still in disagreement about the accusations of Yohan’s infidelity. In previous Tell All episodes, their failing marriage was showcased alongside Yohan’s alleged involvement with other women. During Monday night’s episode, a woman named Memory came forward to share her side of the story. She revealed that Yohan initiated contact with her through Facebook direct messages, starting off with casual conversation before expressing his desire for her to visit the Dominican Republic. Memory claimed that during this time, Yohan informed her that he was single and going through a divorce, alleging that Daniele was trying to take everything from him.
Yohan, on the other hand, stated that he doesn’t remember who Memory is and admitted that he often sends a friendly message to women who follow him on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram. Regarding his alleged connection with Memory, he stated that it may or may not be true.
When questioned about whether he would admit to cheating on Daniele, Yohan responded with defiance, saying he can say whatever he wants but knowing that Daniele will see it her own way. He also expressed his lack of interest in the topic. Yohan concluded their conversation by telling Daniele that he wished he had been unfaithful to her so that he would have felt better, believing that he had been too good to her.
