What happened on episode 11 of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way
Statler and Dempsey's van life struggles
In this episode of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, Statler and Dempsey’s van life continues to face difficulties. Dempsey had initially felt that their van life was progressing well, but tensions arose due to financial issues and Statler’s lack of trust. To improve the situation, Dempsey arranged a beekeeping experience for Statler, who has an interest in bees.
Despite this effort, the situation escalated as Statler became anxious about their upcoming boat trip to France. Dempsey perceived Statler’s anxiety as excessive. Statler experienced a panic attack, which she felt was not adequately addressed by Dempsey. Statler stated:
“I felt like my anxiety was dismissed.”
Dempsey responded, noting the difficulty of managing the situation:
“It’s hard to manage when it feels like everything is amplified.”
Sarper’s commitment to therapy
Sarper and Shekinah faced conflict in previous episodes of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, culminating in an argument where Shekinah alleged that Sarper had physically attacked her.
This incident led Shekinah to leave Sarper’s home. The episode featured a subsequent meeting at a cafe where Sarper admitted to overreacting and expressed a desire to improve. Sarper said:
“I want to make things right and I’m willing to do whatever it takes, including going to therapy.”
Shekinah emphasized her need for Sarper to make changes independently, referencing her past experiences with abusive relationships. She said:
“I can’t return to that kind of environment. I need to see real change.”
James and Tata’s dispute over children
James and Tata encountered further tension when James became ill and Tata performed a traditional coin massage, which James described as “an Indonesian torture device.” This incident added to their existing conflicts on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way.
Additionally, Tata’s recent diagnosis of hyperthyroidism was revealed. During a discussion with her sister, Tata mentioned that James had expressed reluctance to have children with a friend rather than discussing it directly with her. Tata confronted James about this, expressing her disappointment.
James admitted he was leaning towards not having children but had not made a final decision, saying:
“I haven’t made a final decision, but I am leaning towards not having kids.”
Joanne and Sean's family interaction
Joanne and Sean's relationship showed positive progress in this episode. Joanne had previously kept her marriage to Sean secret from her family. In this episode of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, her family travels to Ireland to meet Sean. Sean made efforts to bond with Joanne’s sons by engaging in soccer activities.
