1. Memphis Smith and Moknii Hamza
Last week, we saw Memphis arrive in Tunisia to meet Hamza in person for the first time. This weekend's episode showed Hamza introduce Memphis to Youssef, his friend, who had agreed to take them on the VERY long drive from the airport to Hamza's (mother's) home. Either Youssef knows English better than Hamza does, or he had been practicing to greet Memphis.
2. The language barrier is rough
Memphis and Hamza were already communicating in simple sentences over long distance. In person, things are even less clear. Memphis also admits to the camera that she feels insecure that Hamza may be trying to hide his relationship with her from others, as his phone background is a photo of himself, not of her.
3. Hamza knows SOME English
One questions how far this relationship can go if the language barrier remains in place. Memphis is looking for a stepfather to her two children, not for a vacation fling.
4. Hamza has bad news
He had previously lied to Memphis, telling her that his mom was fine with it if she shared a room with him. He now comes clean and tells Memphis -- a grown 34-year-old woman -- that they have to sleep in separate bedrooms. Memphis is unhappy that he lied to her, but doesn't seem devastated.
5. Poor Youssef
Maybe the editors are just playing games with his expressions as he drives, but we are all reminded that he's listening to all of this -- Hamza's confession, Memphis' questions about his phone background, and the "big boobies" talk.
6. Meet the family
Hamza introduces Memphis to his mother and sister. His sister speaks some English but asks Memphis to speak more slowly. It's all very sweet, actually.
