Madelein readies a home, Luke faces rumors and a stripper surprise—will S7E2 mark a rocky start in Medellín?”

When love crosses borders, even small missteps can feel explosive. In Season 7, Episode 2 of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, Luke packs up his life in the U.S. to reunite with Madelein in Medellín. But while she’s busy lining up apartments and keeping her salon thriving, Luke’s farewell night with friends takes an unexpected turn that could rattle their fresh start.

Luke & Madelein

Where Things Stand at the Top of the Episode

  • Luke is set to relocate to Medellín, Colombia “in just a few days” to live with his fiancée Madelein.
  • The couple are already engaged; the move marks Luke leaving his life, friends, and family in the U.S.

Wedding Timeline & Money Stakes

  • Wedding timeline: Luke says they are about three weeks away from the wedding.
  • Debt: Luke acknowledges he is “in a lot of debt.”
  • Hotel plan: He talks about trying to launch/build a hotel after the wedding.
  • Advice from his father: He tells Luke to avoid knee‑jerk decisions, focus less on business and more on Madelein, and make the relationship—not the hotel—the priority.

Madelein Preps Housing in Medellín

  • Before Luke arrives, Madelein tours potential apartments in Medellín with her friend Katerine and a realtor.
  • During viewings, she confirms she does not want the apartment only for herself; the plan is for both her and Luke to live there.

Madelein’s Work & Backstory (as stated on screen)

  • She has been running her salon, Made Beauty, for about 18 months, building a loyal clientele in Medellín and establishing herself as financially independent.
  • She explains that reaching this point has not been easy. The salon represents her stability and the hard work she put in after personal setbacks.
  • Madelein also emphasizes that she has invested heavily in her business and future in Colombia, which makes Luke’s commitment to relocate even more significant for her.
  • In conversation with Katerine, she references past cheating by Luke; she says she decided to forgive him because she’s been waiting for him to move to Colombia for a long time, underscoring how much she wants to give their relationship a real chance despite past hurt.

Luke’s U.S. Send-Off With Friends

  • Luke’s friends host a going-away gathering. He arrives and immediately objects to “bachelor party”-style decorations, noting Madelein had said no to that.
LUke & Madelein 90 day Fiance
  • Despite the objection, a stripper (introduced as “Fiji”) arrives as a surprise. Luke repeatedly states he doesn’t want trouble and doesn’t want to do anything that would jeopardize the relationship.
  • Friend David tries to play it off as harmless fun and takes the blame for the surprise, framing it as just “good natured” and insisting Luke should enjoy his last night. Luke nonetheless participates to a limited degree under peer pressure (“rite of passage” framing) but acknowledges that if Madelein found out before the wedding, she would call it off.

Friend Dynamics & Trust Friction Raised at the Party

  • Friend David questions whether Madelein is right for Luke, citing past interpersonal drama.
  • Brian reminds Luke of an earlier conflict: he once claimed to have spent the night at Madelein’s apartment and said she was topless in the same bed with him. Luke confronted Madelein about it, and while he was “really pissed” at the time, she denied doing anything wrong. Ultimately, Luke chose to believe her side of the story and they agreed to move forward.
  • At the send-off, Brian again warns that Madelein can “manipulate people” and suggests she isn’t trustworthy. Luke, however, cuts the discussion short, saying he wants to enjoy time with friends before moving.

Relationship Confidence vs. Red Flags (as stated by them)

  • Luke expresses love for Madelein and excitement to reunite, while also voicing fear about leaving his U.S. life.
  • He frames the decision as a major sacrifice and acknowledges the high stakes if any missteps (such as the bachelor-party incident) come to light.

What the Preview Teases (Relevant to Luke & Madelein)

  • In the “Next time” montage, Luke admits to someone that he went to David’s and “they had a stripper come over—it was a bachelor party.”
  • The preview suggests conflict if/when Madelein learns about the send-off details; friends warn she will “go crazy,” and one advises Luke to stand his ground.

Key Takeaways (Episode-Only)

  • Housing: Madelein is actively securing an apartment for both of them in Medellín.
  • Work: Madelein continues to operate Made Beauty; her career timeline and effort are emphasized.
  • Trust: Both Luke’s earlier cheating (admitted by Madelein) and rumors involving her are on the table; Luke says they moved past the issue, but the trust theme remains active.
  • Immediate Tension: The surprise stripper at Luke’s send-off directly contradicts what he says Madelein forbade, creating a looming reveal for the next episode.
