90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days — “Treat Me Right” S3, E10
I came home from vacation to a new episode of Before the 90 Days. It delivered. And still, nobody is happy.
Akinyi & Benjamin
Coming back from the restaurant, Akinyi is sick and Ben is still doing his best impression of a disappointed aunt. Clearly Akinyi never drinks, her drink was drugged, or TLC is frauding us. Because nobody gets that sick from a single margarita.
“I guess you could say I was disappointed and hurt.”
— A man after his fiance drinks a single margarita and asks for another
Clearly, Akinyi does not drink often at all if one margarita got her sick. I have no idea what is happening here. Once Akinyi promises she will drink sparingly in the future, she reveals to Benjamin that after he pays the bride price, they are married according to Kenyan tradition. (Note: I have not confirmed this with research.)
Later, Benjamin reminds us that he did not go to Kenya to get married, only to become engaged. He still has not told his five-year-old son about the relationship. So he does what we would all do in the situation and Facetimes a random friend back home. Why would you talk to your potential spouse about this…
