The latest episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days pulls back the curtain on one of the most troubling storylines of the season, as 52-year-old Lisa’s carefully constructed image begins to crumble under the weight of her own secrets. What once appeared to be a whirlwind international romance now looks increasingly like a ticking time bomb — and Daniel may be standing right in its path.

At the heart of the drama is Lisa’s relationship with her 39-year-old Nigerian boyfriend, Daniel. While Daniel has been openly vocal about his desire to move to the United States and build a better life, Lisa has been quietly hiding life-altering truths. This episode reveals that Lisa hasn’t just been married twice, as she previously claimed — she’s been married five times. Even more shocking, she is still legally married to a woman.

Lisa admits on camera that Daniel has no idea she is technically still married, nor does he know that she spent over two decades in same-sex relationships. When Lisa previously hinted at having a brief relationship with a woman, Daniel reacted with visible disgust, condemning homosexuality on religious grounds. Despite this, Lisa continues to withhold the truth, fearing that honesty would cost her the relationship.

Rather than embracing authenticity, Lisa appears to be editing herself into a version she believes Daniel will accept. From wearing an uncomfortable wig around the clock — even while sleeping — to suppressing her identity and history, her efforts feel less like compromise and more like self-erasure. As she herself admits, maintaining this image is “not fun,” causing rashes, sores, and constant discomfort, yet she persists to keep Daniel happy.

Meanwhile, Daniel is unapologetically transparent about his goals. He speaks openly about wanting to leave Nigeria and believes marrying Lisa could change his family’s future. He even consults a spiritual guide, who gives him approval to move forward with the relationship, reinforcing his belief that this union will bring him success. Yet the irony is impossible to ignore: Daniel believes Lisa “doesn’t hide anything,” while viewers know she is hiding nearly everything.

The emotional tension intensifies when Lisa asks her daughter, Faith, to monitor divorce paperwork while she travels to Nigeria. Faith, clearly unconvinced by her mother’s logic, warns that if she were in Daniel’s position, she would feel devastated and betrayed. Lisa promises she won’t accept a proposal without coming clean — a promise that feels increasingly hollow.

And that proposal may come sooner than expected. In scenes teased for next week, Daniel prepares an elaborate airport proposal for Lisa, seemingly before she has the chance to confess her truth. The looming question is no longer if Daniel will find out — but when, and at what cost.

Elsewhere in the episode, other couples face their own emotional battles. Laura and Beeran’s long-awaited meeting in Turkey feels awkward and disconnected, while Sheena’s pattern of withholding financial truths causes friction with Forest’s fiercely protective mother. Meanwhile, Danielle’s journey back into dating after emotional abuse offers a rare moment of hope, reminding viewers that vulnerability, though painful, can also be healing.

Still, Lisa’s storyline stands apart for its sheer magnitude of deception. While Daniel’s intentions may be questioned, his honesty contrasts sharply with Lisa’s web of half-truths and omissions. Age, nationality, or heartbreak do not excuse misleading someone about marriage, identity, or legality.

As 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days continues, Lisa faces a defining choice: step into truth and risk losing Daniel, or continue the performance and watch the fallout grow more devastating by the day. Whether this journey becomes a blessing or a brutal lesson remains to be seen — but one thing is certain: secrets this big never stay buried for long.
