(Image Credit: TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nSimply put, she wants to know if Anali is there for Clayton or for something else.<\/p>\n
(If this suspicion has its origins in xenophobia, she might get along well with some of Gino\u2019s relatives \u2026 but perhaps she will explain her reasons in the full episode)<\/p>\n
So she asks how she can trust that Anali isn\u2019t using Clayton for a visa.<\/p>\nClayton translates for Anali, sharing his sister\u2019s question. (Image Credit: TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAnali has a very reasonable answer. (Clayton, of course, translates for her)<\/p>\n
She points out that it wouldn\u2019t have been so hard to leave her family behind if she were a scammer.<\/p>\n
Basically, if all that she wanted was to come to the US, she wouldn\u2019t have needed convincing. She misses her family \u2014 but she came here for Clayton.<\/p>\nAnali answers Clayton\u2019s sister\u2019s question, pointing out that leaving her family would not have been so hard if she\u2019d been scamming for a visa instead of leaving them for Clayton. Meanwhile, notice the subtle language of his hands. (Image Credit: TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nBefore we continue with what went down, we have to point out something.<\/p>\n
Clayton is active on social media \u2014 and seems unusually well-prepared for his season. He clearly put some thought into things.<\/p>\n
Anyway, he publicly replied to the sneak peek \u2014 making sure that absolutely everyone noticed his not-so-subtle \u201chidden message\u201d \u2014 flipping his middle finger to his sister as she questioned his fiancee\u2019s intentions.<\/p>\nIn an Instagram comment, Clayton draws attention to his unsubtle \u201csign language\u201d during a conflict with his sister. (Image Credit: Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nDuring all of this, his mom is clearly aware of the tension.<\/p>\n
She seems to like Anali. But she allows Clayton and his sister to talk this out for themselves.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s probably best. She can speak to them one-on-one later.<\/p>\nClayton\u2019s mother, Violet, looks on at the awkward dinner conversation. (Image Credit: TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIn addition to Anali\u2019s explanation, Clayton has something to add.<\/p>\n
He tells his sister that it took him and Anali two and a half years to make this happen.<\/p>\n
In what universe would she spend years of her life going to embassy interviews, providing documents, and more?<\/p>\nVery reasonably, Clayton notes that 2.5 years would be an absurd time investment for a visa scam. (Image Credit: TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIt\u2019s a solid argument. Someone might spend years to get with a multimillionaire \u2026 but what would be Anali\u2019s alleged \u201cpayoff\u201d if she\u2019s not really into Clayton?<\/p>\n
Clayton says that he can\u2019t see Anali, or anyone, doing that.<\/p>\n
But his sister says that she very much can see that. She claims that people do it all of the time. (Do they, though? Most <\/em>scammers are more interested in money, and don\u2019t invest much time unless they\u2019re getting it regularly or over a long period of time)<\/p>\nUnlike her brother, Clayton\u2019s sister could easily imagine someone putting that much effort into a long con. (Image Credit: TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nClayton then shadily asks his sister if she\u2019s had enough to drink. <\/p>\n
To be clear, he\u2019s not asking out of courtesy \u2014 he\u2019s saying that her behavior is out of line.<\/p>\n
She replies that she hasn\u2019t. Similarly, she\u2019s making it clear that she hears him loud and clear.<\/p>\nClayton shadily asks his sister if she has had enough to drink this evening. (Image Credit: TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThis conversation has a tearful end for Clayton\u2019s sister. <\/p>\n
Clayton, meanwhile, feels angry and hurt.<\/p>\n
Hopefully, they can reach an accord for everyone\u2019s sake. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
