90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? is a popular spinoff of the original 90 Day Fiancé series that follows couples who have already tied the knot and are now adjusting to married life.

Season 9 of the spinoff reintroduces viewers to familiar faces, including controversial couple Elizabeth Potthast and Andrei Castravet, as they discuss whether they should move their entire family to Moldova.

Elizabeth And Andrei Travel To Moldova Where He Makes A Major Announcement

Elizabeth Was Confused As To Why Andrei’s Family Was So Excited

90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? brings back Elizabeth Potthast and Andrei Castravet, a couple known for their ongoing tension with Elizabeth’s family. Much of the drama centered around her siblings, especially her brother, Charlie Potthast, whose rocky relationship with Andrei once escalated into a physical altercation at a family barbecue.

However, this season sees the couple deciding whether to move their family to Moldova, where Andrei is from. Elizabeth is seriously considering the move despite her family and friends’ disapproval. In Episode 4, Elizabeth, Andrei, and their two young children decide to take a trip to see if it might give Elizabeth the push she needs to make the big move.

“This trip is going to determine if it’s the right time to move our entire family there,” Elizabeth shares in a confessional.

As the family of four touch down in Moldova, Elizabeth already admits that she feels “overwhelmed.” They will be staying with Andrei’s parents, which means six people — two of whom are small children — will share one bathroom. Another problem Elizabeth faces is not understanding Romanian, although she knows when people are “talking s***,” she shares.

As the couple sit down for dinner with other members of Andrei’s family, they have a discussion about permanently locating to Moldova. However, Elizabeth has a hard time understanding what they are discussing as Andrei speaks to his family in Romanian, telling his father that he’s been trying to convince Elizabeth to move, but it’s been “difficult.” That same night, she learns that the family is throwing a party, but has no idea why.

“Andrei is already laying on enough pressure and his family is adding another layer of this intense feeling. All I want to do at this point is go to bed,” she shares.

That night, Elizabeth and Andrei head to the party, and she is shocked to see his entire family there along with a traditional Moldovan band. She still has no idea why they are throwing such an extravagant event.

Andrei then makes a speech, but it’s entirely in Romanian.

“We threw this party because we decided to move to Moldova,” Andrei tells everyone.

“I am not fluent in Romanian. I’m very limited in my vocabulary. Some things get lost in translation and this is one of them. I feel kind of stupid because I don’t know what’s going on,” she shares in a confessional.

The night ends with fireworks, and Elizabeth is still unaware of what’s going on. Once Andrei finally tells his wife why they threw such a lavish party, there is not doubt that drama will ensue for this couple.
