Sarper was ready for a showdown with Shekinah’s sisters on 90 Day Fiancé.

While visiting Shekinah’s family in Montana on the April 20 episode of the TLC series, Sarper knew her three sisters would be concerned because of his “bad reputation.” He worried that the family would think he was a “jerk,” to which Shekinah said, “You kind of fit the bill.”

Shekinah admitted that he had “a lot to prove” to her sisters. She then reminded him the spot he found himself in was “because of your own actions, ways you’ve chosen to live your life and things you’ve chosen to do to me in our relationship, it’s your own fault.”

Shekinah revealed that Sarper’s past interaction with her sister Shariyah didn’t bode well for him.

“I do think that my sisters hold a grudge against Sarper for the way that he treated Shariyah the first time that they met,” she said in a confessional. “We’re all very opinionated and we all want the best for each other, and if we don’t think that the other is getting the best, then it makes us upset so I feel like this is intense and there’s a lot riding on this meeting.”

She later noted that her sisters — Shariyah, Zionah and Mariah — were “very protective” of her.

Ahead of the meeting, Shariyah told cameras, “I feel like the amount of time that I had with Shekinah and Sarper, I didn’t really get to see the dynamic and the connection between them. So it’ll be nice to see if anything’s different.”

Sarper was showing his nerves about the family gathering, saying, “I feel an inmate going to his execution but I’m ready for that.”

The sisters wasted no time asking about Sarper’s past. He claimed he no longer talks to other women, but they wanted to know how she could trust his word.

“It takes a level of trust..and that’s what relationships are about,” Shekinah told her sisters. “I mean, if I had no trust in Sarper, what would be the point of me even being with him?”

However, Zionah wasn’t satisfied with her answer, saying, “It bothers me that she’s being so naive about that kind of stuff. I don’t like that mindset.”

Matters only got worse when Sarper asked if the other sisters gave off “geisha vibes” like Shekinah, he added, “She does everything. She cooks, washes, everything.”

“He’s just saying that I serve him and he doesn’t have to ask for it, and he loves that. And that’s like geisha vibes,” Shekinah tried to clarify.

 “He just really rubs you the wrong way. He can’t help himself,” Shariyah told cameras. “Even hearing him talk about [how] she’s like a geisha.”

Sarper know the conversation wasn’t going well as the episode came to end.

“I feel the tension right now,” he admitted. “Everything is happening so quick and you know when you missed the last exit before the bridge and you’re on the bridge and you can not go back? I feel that.”
