90 Day Fiance Season 9, Episode 8 showed multiple couples going from bad to worse.
Jibri spends a lot of time defending his buddy Daveed to Miona, because the two do not get along.
Once there, however, Jibri and Daveed are the ones clashing ... leading to a physical fight.
Ariela is trying to be supportive of Biniyam's pie-in-the-sky UFC dreams, but she is in for a rude awakening.
Bilal and Shaeeda grapple with religious differences and very conflicting ideas about how to live and operate in their home.
Emily and Kobe are not getting along, leading to a very toxic moment that happens right in front of her family.
Kara and Guillermo's short but sweet walk downtown highlights how common international love stories can be.
Patrick is moving to Dallas, which means that so is Thais ... and, to her chagrin, John.
Finally, Mohamed is starting to make it clear that his previously stated rules for Yve were just the start -- and he expects her to convert.
1. Jibri Bell and Miona Bell
The two start off at home in Rapid City, packing up for their trip to Chicago. Jibri laments that Miona is taking up so much space in the suitcases, but he also packs what looks like a dozen different sets of sunglasses. That is extremely Jibri of him, but it's a pretty cute moment for them.
2. They drive to Chicago
It's more than 900 miles (nearly 13 hours of driving), so what we saw of the drive was very abbreviated, but Jibri knows that Miona and Daveed don't get along or like each other, but defends his buddy to Miona, asking her to give him a chance. He also details to the camera that Daveed kicked his head into a coma when they were teens (he was out for three days) after Jibri made fun of his accent. Jibri dated a girl for months only to learn that she is Daveed's twin sister, and he and Daveed forged a lasting friendship. Totally bonkers.
3. They arrive
Daveed promotes his truck-related business to the cameras as he and Jibri touch base. He and Miona force smiles and hug.
4. But Daveed has some advice for Jibri
He suggests that Jibri do some "real" business like he is, which Jibri does not want to hear. He accuses Daveed of sounding just like his (Jibri's) parents. Jibri's focus will be music, but Daveed feels that Jibri has only made a little in recent years and has seemed distracted.
5. The distraction objects to that
Miona speaks up for Jibri following his dreams. It's a good reminder that these two do work very well together, even if they have been clashing over wedding plans.
6. Speaking of which ...
Miona is taken aback by how expensive this beach wedding that she wants for some reason will be. It's three times as expensive as it would have been in Serbia. This does not deter her, however, even driving her to take the drastic step of calling to ask questions as she hopes to have a destination wedding during the K-1 visa timeframe.
