Last weekend episode of 90 Day Engagement: Another Way introduced fans to Debbie and Oussama.
The 67-year-old artist immediately caught our attention. He was eccentric but he understood, and the audience loved his art.
At 24, Oussama is 43 years younger. Fans felt less impressed with him, mostly because he was unknown.
Debbie’s son, Julian, feels the same way. And his desire to protect his mother from a potential con man drives him to clash with him when he meets with a lawyer.
On Sunday, February 26 episode of 90 Day Engagement: Another WayDebbie and Julian both.
At AND! News‘ look ahead to Season 4, Episode 4, the two meet with Debbie’s lawyer. But they have a very different perspective.
Debbie is not the only one dating Oussama. She plans to move to Morocco to marry a 24-year-old artist and poet.
As the scene begins, Julian notes that Oussama does not have a stable source of income. That’s unusual for a 24-year-old, though Julian noted they there are exceptions.
“Obviously this man is very manipulative,” Julian warned his mother’s lawyer.
“They have tricked my mother into moving there,” he said. “Does that mean he didn’t trick her into transferring money and things later?”
Debbie had contacted this attorney some time before. However, they have not disclosed Oussama’s age.
So he looked surprised when Julian explained that Oussama was only 24 years old. Because, you know, Debbie is 67.
The meeting was to discuss the prenuptial agreement. It should protect his assets.
“I hope you don’t do that, Deborah, because you have to protect your future,” the lawyer said on the subject of the money transfer to Oussama.
“It flies in the face of what we’re trying to do with the prenuptial agreement,” he noted, “which is to protect her assets.”
Stepping outside and speaking to the cameras of her confession, Debbie’s attorney said fewer words.
“Personally, I think there are some red flags in this situation,” he said.
“Debbie traveled halfway around the world to marry a man with no assets,” he highlighted.
The lawyer added: “They have all their assets and they could lose everything they’ve worked for if they’re not protected.”
“Maybe this is happening like a fairy tale with a happy ending for me,” said Debbie wildly.
“And say I’m married to Oussama 10 years down the road, 15 years down the road,” she must have said. “And he was everything and more than I expected.”
Ominously, Debbie then asked: “What if I want to put a little money on someone then? What do you suggest?”
That was enough for Julian, who called his mother’s plan with Oussama “the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard in my life.”
“You watch what you call ‘stupid,'” Debbie retorted. “Sometimes idiots are geniuses, you know?”
But that didn’t assuage his son’s fears, as he made clear on camera the confession.
“The way he talks about supporting him in the future,” Julian said, “says he’s already supported him and he’s not keeping things from us.”
He added: “I believe in many things. I don’t believe in Oussama. Not one, not a little.”
We’ll get to see all of this and more play out in Sunday’s episode. Honest? We’re rooting for Debbie to be both happy and safe. Safety including not losing his money, to be clear.
