Episode 5 of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 4, titled Lies Have Got No Legs, aired on TLC on Monday, March 5 at 8 pm ET.

In the episode, Nicole was seen feeling homesick just one day after she had arrived in Egypt. She felt that she and Mahmoud were not communicating about their issues, which was because of the cultural differences between America and Egypt.

Mahmoud took Nicole out for a walk around the neighborhood when she insisted on sitting in a cafe. He told her that some places are reserved for men, such as the cafe, as men have a particular way of talking to women in their country.

Nicole did not listen to him and the two got awkward looks from everyone as they got seated. The waiter did agree to serve Nicole, as he understood that she was from America. Mahmoud did not want Nicole to sit in the cafe but he didn't escalate the matter further as he didn't want to upset her again.

Nicole then asked him to let her meet his friends as she was afraid that he was hiding something. Mahmoud told Nicole that "wife" was a red line in their community and that no one met their friend's spouse apart from on their wedding day.

Nicole did not listen to him and kept forcing him until he agreed. During the meeting, the friends were seated in a separate corner and barely talked to Nicole. She was feeling nervous and was afraid to say something offensive, and the meeting ended on an awkward note.
