We’ll be going episode by episode, so grab your snacks, settle in, and let’s revisit the moments that had us all glued to our screens.
Episode 1: The Clock Starts Now
The premiere of 90 Day Fiance Season 4 kicks off with our new cast members, and guys, the stakes are already high. We're introduced to the couples who are about to embark on the ultimate test of their long-distance relationships. The K-1 visa, that magical piece of paper that allows a foreign fiancé(e) to come to the US for the purpose of marriage, is the central theme. Each couple has just 90 days to get married once the foreign partner arrives in America, or they have to leave. In this first episode, we meet Narkyia and Lowo. Narkyia, from Florida, is excited but also a bit anxious as she awaits Lowo's arrival from Nigeria. Their relationship has been long-distance, and she's eager to see if the man she knows online is the man he is in person. We also get a glimpse into the lives of Nicole and Azan. Nicole, from Florida, has fallen head over heels for Azan, who lives in Morocco. The age difference and cultural differences are already apparent, setting the stage for future challenges. Then there's Chantel and Pedro. Chantel, a registered nurse from Georgia, met Pedro while on a trip to the Dominican Republic. Her family, especially her mother, has serious doubts about Pedro's intentions. This episode sets the foundation for the season, introducing the core conflicts and hinting at the emotional rollercoaster that lies ahead. The excitement of new love is palpable, but so is the underlying tension of the visa clock and the cultural barriers they must overcome. It’s a classic 90 Day Fiance setup: hope, skepticism, and the promise of a dramatic journey.
Episode 2: First Impressions and Red Flags
As Season 4 of 90 Day Fiance progresses, the couples start to get a real feel for each other's lives, and in Episode 2, first impressions really start to solidify, or in some cases, crumble. We see Nicole and Azan navigating their new reality. Azan is now in the US, and Nicole is thrilled to have him. However, immediately, we see the cultural differences in their communication and expectations. Azan expresses that Nicole’s mother is too controlling, while Nicole feels Azan isn't being upfront about his feelings. The dynamic between Nicole, her mother, and Azan is already a major point of contention. Meanwhile, Narkyia and Lowo are trying to bridge the gap between their vastly different lifestyles. Lowo, coming from Nigeria, is adjusting to American life, and Narkyia is trying to be supportive, but his requests for money and her family's concerns start to create friction. Are his intentions purely financial, or is this a cultural difference in how families support each other? It's a question that looms large. Chantel and Pedro face their own set of hurdles. Pedro is now in the US, and Chantel is overjoyed. However, her family is still very suspicious. Her father tries to grill Pedro about his finances and his past, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere. Pedro, in turn, feels scrutinized and defensive. The episode highlights how external pressures, particularly from family, can significantly impact a new relationship. We also meet Matt and Alla. Alla, from Ukraine, has come to the US to be with Matt, a divorced father of four. Matt seems smitten, but Alla is experiencing culture shock and misses her home country. The initial honeymoon phase is quickly giving way to the realities of everyday life, and the couples are starting to see the potential challenges more clearly. This episode really delves into the complexities of blending cultures and families under the intense pressure of the K-1 visa.
Episode 3: Family Feud and Financial Woes
90 Day Fiance Season 4 Episode 3 dives deeper into the conflicts that were brewing in the previous weeks. The family dynamics are taking center stage, proving that it's not just the couples who are under scrutiny, but their entire support systems – or lack thereof. Chantel's family is still very much involved, and in this episode, the tension between Chantel's mother and Pedro reaches a boiling point. Her mother openly questions Pedro's motives, suggesting he might be after a green card. This creates significant stress for Chantel, who feels caught in the middle. Pedro, feeling constantly accused, starts to push back, leading to heated arguments. It’s a classic scenario where the family’s distrust creates a wedge between the couple. Nicole and Azan are also facing significant challenges, particularly around communication and finances. Azan's desire for Nicole to convert to Islam and his complaints about her spending habits cause friction. Nicole is struggling to balance her own life and desires with Azan's expectations, and the cultural and religious differences are becoming more pronounced. Azan’s perception of Nicole's family as overly involved also adds to the strain. Meanwhile, Narkyia and Lowo are dealing with Lowo's requests for financial assistance. Narkyia is trying to manage her expectations and her budget, especially with wedding planning on the horizon. Her friends and family are expressing serious concerns about Lowo's financial stability and his reliance on Narkyia. This episode really emphasizes the financial pressures that often accompany international relationships, especially when one partner is coming from a less affluent background. Matt and Alla continue to navigate their new life together. Alla is still finding it difficult to adjust to life in the US, and Matt is trying to be patient, but the presence of his ex-wife and the complexities of his large family are proving challenging. The initial excitement is starting to wear off, replaced by the daunting reality of building a future together. This episode is a stark reminder that falling in love is just the first step; making the relationship work requires navigating a minefield of cultural, familial, and financial obstacles.
Episode 4: Cultural Clashes and Wedding Plans
In Episode 4 of 90 Day Fiance Season 4, the cultural differences are becoming even more prominent, impacting everything from daily routines to major life decisions. Nicole and Azan find themselves at odds over cultural expectations and future plans. Azan expresses his desire for Nicole to be more modest in her dress and behavior, which clashes with Nicole's lifestyle. This leads to heated discussions about respect and cultural integration. The pressure to conform to new traditions while maintaining one's own identity is a significant theme here. Azan also voices concerns about Nicole's weight, which, while perhaps well-intentioned from his cultural perspective, is hurtful to Nicole and causes further strain. Chantel and Pedro are trying to move forward with wedding plans, but the constant interference from Chantel’s family is making it incredibly difficult. Her mother continues to investigate Pedro, leading to more confrontations. Pedro feels increasingly isolated and frustrated, and Chantel is torn between her loyalty to her family and her love for Pedro. The episode highlights the challenge of planning a wedding when external forces are actively trying to sabotage the union. We also see Narkyia and Lowo attempting to plan their wedding, but financial issues and communication problems are major roadblocks. Lowo's insistence on a traditional Nigerian wedding ceremony, which can be expensive, clashes with Narkyia's more practical approach and limited budget. The strain of these discussions is evident, and doubts begin to surface about their ability to compromise. Matt and Alla are facing challenges related to Matt's past. Alla is trying to get to know Matt's children better, but the shadow of Matt's ex-wife and the ongoing co-parenting issues create an uneasy dynamic. Alla feels like she’s constantly compared to the ex-wife, adding another layer of stress to her adjustment. This episode really shows how cultural differences aren't just about food or language; they permeate fundamental beliefs about relationships, family, and finances, making the 90-day countdown even more intense for these couples.

Can they overcome the suspicion and distrust from Chantel's side? Narkyia and Lowo face a critical juncture regarding their finances and wedding plans. Lowo’s continued requests for money and Narkyia’s growing suspicion lead to a tense conversation. Narkyia needs to decide if she can trust Lowo financially and emotionally, especially with the wedding expenses mounting. The lack of transparency is a major red flag for her. Matt and Alla are also facing doubts. Alla misses her family and her home country intensely. The challenges of integrating into Matt's large family and dealing with his ex-wife are taking a toll. She questions if she made the right decision moving across the world. Matt has to reassure her and demonstrate that he’s committed to making their life together work, despite the obstacles.
