Corona meets with Black locals to learn about fitting in and being accepted by Icelanders. Perhaps she should stop wearing the pseudo BDSM fetish gear to something as innocuous as a friendly chat at someone’s home. Just a thought.

I hope that it's not too late for Corona to rewind and get into the American midwife program.  Even if she manages to make it through the Iceland program, how helpful can she be to a woman in labor if she doesn't speak her language?  If I was in labor and a midwife came in who didn't speak my native language, I'd tell her to GTFOH.  Especially if she was wearing clothes/accessories with spikes. I would not want someone so - sharp and pointy - anywhere near my nekkid and exposed nether-regions - and also my newborn. 

The Joanne/Sean crew were the most awkward scenes I can recall on this show.  The kids have just had their lives turned upside down and don't have a clue where they and/or mom will be living.  Yikes.

But how would she know you were telling her to GTFOH ? 🤣

Probably by my body language, ie., my foot being shoved down her throat.

Elevator Boy is unbelievable. He's been there a few weeks, won't commit to having a child, and then is talking about needing to move back to the US? Don't these people talk about having children BEFORE they get married? "If we didn't have a family, would I be enough?" Dude, how have you been married for years and cry "I can't lose her - that's all I care about!" and NOW you're just realizing she wants kids? These couples are weird but this is just ridiculous.

Yay, no Sarper and Shekinah this episode! We have been spared.

I'm sure I've said this before, but I really cannot imagine leaving my teenage and pre-teen sons with relatives in my house and then just flying back every few weeks. I get that there's a whole bio dad to help out but it seems as if she had most of the custody and they live at her house. That's just so heavy for a kid to have his mom be gone for weeks at a time - in a completely different country hours away. Those plane tickets are not cheap, either, so is she budgeting an additional grand+ per month in travel for that?

I really hope that if Elevator Boy (he's so stupid he doesn't deserve a name) goes home, his family tells him, "Sorry dude, we hired someone else so you'll have to find a job elsewhere."

They had that conversation.  Her father made him PROMISE that he would provide for her, learn her language AND HAVE CHILDREN.  He didn't think it counted.  He doesn't care for anyone but himself.
