On the August 30 episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, Andrei Castravet took his wife and in-laws to a village in Moldova where they stomped on grapes to make wine. The Kodak moment was caught by TLC cameras and fans could not get enough, especially since the outing seemed to repair the strained relationship between Andrei and the Potthast family.
Andrei has not been a fan favorite on this season of Happily Ever After. Since he and wife Elizabeth Potthast first graced the small screen, the Moldovan has always been a bit too controlling for the American public's taste. Thanks to his many outbursts since returning home, the reality star has been made to look like he is hiding a secret. Many are left wondering why he is so quick to anger if he has nothing to hide. Elizabeth’s family has always been opposed to their marriage, but they are now making the tense situation even worse with their constant questions and demands.
Last week, TLC fans watched as Andrei blamed alcohol for his dinner outburst that almost caused a physical fight with his brother-in-law. The reality star still didn’t see the full picture of his misunderstanding with his in-laws, but decided to try his best to smooth things over with a trip to a little Moldovan town for some homemade wine. The couple’s entire extended family made their way to a winery where they were bound to learn how to get along. Who knew all this family had to do was stomp their feelings out through winemaking?
Fans watched as Libby, her sister, and mother squealed at the cold grapes. Chuck Potthast indulged his son-in-law by also stepping into the barrels. But what shocked fans the most was seeing Charlie Potthast and Andrei holding onto one another to keep from slipping and laughing. To the casual eye, it looked like a really nice family outing. Both Chuck and Charlie told cameras that this was the nicest day they had spent with Andrei, although they hadn't forgotten the dinner argument. To TLC viewers, it did look like a positive start down the road of better communication, and even the cute donkey agreed!
90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? fans did think Chuck and Charlie were holding a bit of a grudge. Andrei was not the only man who drank a bit too much and got overexcited – they were a massive part of the argument as well, but have taken little blame. Hopefully, the family can start to heal themselves and move on. The winemaking certainly seemed like a step in the right direction.
90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? airs Sundays at 8 pm ET on TLC.
