It’s a long journey for Lisa to meet her love Daniel in Nigeria on 90 Day Fiance. She’s dealing with boob sweat and the weight of a big secret.

She lands and immediately hits the restroom to freshen up, feeling insecure after the long flight.
While Daniel waits with flowers, Lisa does her makeup and dons her wig. She’s terrified of rejection and of coming clean about her current marriage. After her restroom glow-up, she heads to baggage claim where Daniel is waiting. In Lisa’s words, he “devours her” and promises to chew her when they arrive at their hotel. Outside, dancers perform for Lisa.
