90 Day Fiancé Season 12 Ep 5 Recap: Something Old, Something New | Remote Reality

Published on: 8th June, 2026

90 Day Fiancé Season 12 Episode 5 recap is here and Lauren and Dee are back breaking down "Something Old, Something New."

If you're an OG listener, you're like Mallorie, excited we're here. If you're new, you're Rash, standing at the door going "WTF is happening." And Lauren and Dee are Brandon, ready to take shots of Jim Beam at the trash tailgate party and telling every single one of you "welcome to the family!"

Just like real families, Lauren and Dee are at odds over all the drama this episode delivers!

In this episode, Edward gets the grand tour of Marissa's house, learns the pillow stripe rules, and somehow has been granted limited shower privileges. Meanwhile, Marissa's ex Michael shows up and those two end up bonding over whiskey and trauma faster than we expected. Michael passed the test, y'all, and Dee is ready to jump in his DMs.

Kissy Catie and Josh are officially in their new apartment, enjoying concrete floors, and a twin mattress like cell mates, and Catie pulls out a used toy that even makes Lauren cringe. You just have to watch.

Ashia and Maxwell finally meet in Africa, and seeing them together gives us different vibes. Lauren is fully sold. Dee is still skeptical.

Debbie threw a phone at Mido and we debate whether the reaction was cultural, controlling, or completely valid. Spoiler: we are not seeing eye to eye!

And then there's Rash at the White Trash Bash: bandana, beer pong, Jim Beam shots, fitting in great until he sat on Brandon's truck and apparently that was a whole thing.

Make sure to share with friends that love 90 Day FIance! Sharing is caring (unless it's a used toy Catie; Dee and I can agree on that).
