90 Day Journey: Ariela & Biniyam

Ariela met Biniyam while travelling after her divorce, and their relationship quickly flourished. After becoming pregnant, Ari decides to move to Ethiopia so they can be a family. Her mother, however, has strong concerns about her safety during delivery.

Bini, Ari and Ari's mom tour the facility where Ari will give birth, but Ari and her mom have major reservations about whether or not she and the baby will be safe. Then, Bini attempts to convince Ari and her mother that he can support his growing family.

Bini's family worries that Ari will break Bini's heart just as his ex-wife did. Later, Ari and Bini clash over religion, and they disagree on what faith their son should be raised to follow.

Bini panics as Ari considers returning to the US, and he desperately searches for better accommodations to convince Ari to stay. Then, while at a routine ultrasound appointment, Ari and Bini receive news that she needs an emergency C-section.

After a chaotic C-section, Ari and Bini are finally able to bring home their baby boy. An emotional Ari struggles as she clashes with Bini and his family over Ethiopian traditions.

Bini and his family pressure Ari to have the baby baptized and circumcised. Although she initially agrees, when they go to the hospital for the procedure, a stressed-out Ari walks out. Later, Bini's sister fuels Ari's insecurities with gossip about Bini.
