Original subtitles

[Esmeralda] Previously on "Suddenly Amish."

My hearing aids are controlled by this.

[James] I'm gonna have to take your phone now.

If he takes my hearing aids away, that messes with my head.

Welcome to the Amish.

Wow, look at that nice Amish farmer we got here.

I think there's something going on with Kendra and Matt.

If the opportunity presents itself, maybe.

I heard you're divorced, trying to join the Amish.

Yeah.

Well, maybe the Amish life is not for you.

I told you to leave.

He's chasing me with a [bleep] big axe.

[James] Go!

[Matt] If this is the way it's gonna be, then I'm out of here.

Kendra is devastated.

It's, like, hard.

[Billie Jo] Oh, my God!

We have bats.

[James] Hello, hello.

[Allen] James offered to have us come over to their house

till we get our bat problem taken care of.

[yelps] [bleep]

[Emma] Girls are still in their English clothes,

so we need to get them dressed in more modest clothing.

-[Kendra] I love it! -[Aaron] You girls look great.

-[Kendra] Thank you. -You really do.

Wait, Esmeralda, why are you not in a dress?

[Esmeralda] They said, "I can't change unless I do my lashes

and my nails." Feels like mean girl energy

and, like, being, like, targeted.

[Judah] Breathe.

[main theme playing]

[upbeat soul music playing]

How do you feel? That is a lot.

[Esmeralda] Yeah, it's a lot.

I don't know, it's just like...

Like, I feel like coming here, it's like I'm losing

every part of me, you know?

So it's just like, a lot to deal with all at once [sniffs].

Paula and Emma kind of pressured me into removing

my lashes and nails, even though we kind of previously talked

about me having a little bit more time.

Judah still has his beard and goatee, and they let him

keep that 'cause he refused to shave it off.

I just feel annoyed and angry that I didn't get to change like

everyone else, but I just have to get over it and I'm not

ready to deal with it right now.

Can I share something I was thinking last night?

[Esmeralda chuckles] Yeah.

So we have like no mirrors in the house.

Yeah.

So in L.A. or wherever we live, sometimes I wonder if we're

so self-conscious with our looks because we constantly are

looking in a mirror. -Yeah.

And like here, I have no idea what I'm looking like.

Yeah.

Like to me, like I feel beautiful and like confident

with my personality. You know what I mean? -Yeah.

And I'm just like, "Oh, I bet I look great."

If I saw myself in a mirror, maybe it would be

a different story. -Yeah.

That's one thing I kinda envy about them.

They don't have that standard.

So it's like, they don't have that same pressure

that we have, you know? -Exactly, yeah.

I completely understand where Esme is coming from because

living in Texas or even in L.A., like our beauty standards are

set so high that it is so damaging to ourselves

and our feeling of ourselves.

And so, I really hope that Esme decides to go through

with the lashes and the nails because this feeling of,

like, love within myself and the beauty within myself is

such an empowering feeling,

and I really want her to experience that as well.

If there's a way that you're making the decision,

like, you're like, OK, it's either the nails

or the lashes or something else so that you can be a part of,

like, this with us. -Yeah.

Because I want it to be, like, your choice.

I don't want it to be, like, you have to do this.

[Esmeralda] Looking at Kendra, her not having the typical

clothes that she usually wears and no makeup on,

maybe, you know, it's not so bad.

Like, I feel like she looks younger and more wholesome.

So, like, a part of me is thinking, like,

maybe, you know, I'm ready to take that next step too.

'Cause you didn't come out here to be the same.

Yeah, yeah.

You came out here to learn something.

[gentle music playing]

[James] Let's go get the buggy, Judah.

[Judah] Do you need a license to drive these type of things?

Nope, no license.

They're still waiting on an exterminator over

at Sarah and Allen's house.

In the meantime, I'm happy to have everybody here

under my roof.

That way we can keep an eye on everybody.

Nip things in the bud if something happens,

'cause we've had a lot of things going on.

Let's go get the horse.

[Judah clicks tongue] All right.

Judah has great potential.

Whoa!

[Judah] Last night, after everything that happened,

everything that was going on, I don't want nobody to feel like

I'm not trying or that I don't wanna be here.

I'm here to grow as a person, to connect with nature,

connect with God, and learn how to do things with my hands.

But it's hard.

-What's this horse's name? -[James] Harley.

OK, OK.

[James] And now, fun part.

We're ready to go hook to the buggy.

-You wanna lead him? -Uh, sure.

I've never led a horse before. Come on, buddy.

Ah! -- I can't believe I'm doing this!

[James laughs] Good job.

Hi, buddy. My name is Judah.

I'll be your caretaker for the day.

Let me lead him in here. In the shafts.

All right.

We are actually ready to head out.

[Judah] What side is the driver's side?

[James] Opposite from a vehicle, in the U.S., at least.

-[Judah] Ah. -[James] It has a brake pedal,

a little bit similar to a car.

You have to pump it a couple times to fill up the lines

with brake fluid.

-Turn signals? -[buggy bleeps]

What? -- Oh.

OK -- No radios up in here?

No radio -- Nope.

This is real horsepower.

A buggy is the total opposite of what my dream car would be.

A buggy is more so like a box on wheels.

It's old, and it's one horsepower -- literally.

-[James] All right, gas pedal. -[clicks tongue]

-Wait, what's the gas pedal? -This.

[squeaks]

-Yee-haw! -He won't know what you said.

[Judah] Oh [bleep]! Oh, hold on, bro!

This thing got no suspension!

He needs some other shocks on this thing.

If the Amish let me do my one-twos

on a horse and buggy and customize it,

I'm gonna have to throw some wooden rims on there.

I'm gonna need a black horse so it can match the black rims,

black-on-black horse and buggy. That's what I'm talking about.

-Yo, this is crazy! -[James] That was just a dip.

-I don't trust these wheels. -Oh, the wheels will be fine.

Whoa.

You wanna scoot over behind me here?

[Judah] Yip, yip. Giddy up!

[James] OK, gas pedal.

[Judah] Why are you slapping him if he's going?

-That's the gas pedal! -Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, I'm scared!

Get a feel of your brake pedal whenever you have a chance.

But you have to pull in the lines at the same time.

-[Judah] Oh. -Try it.

-Oh! -There you go!

-That's a clean stop, boy! -[laughs] You got it.

You got it.

I've never seen an Amish clean stop right there.

[clicks tongue]

[James] Make him run.

[Judah clicks tongue insistently]

Whoa! -- We're running!

Come on! We rolling!

[James continues clicking tongue]

Ah! Yeah!

[James laughs]

As I'm sitting in the seat, I'm like, "Yo, this is insane."

I'm literally driving the horse and the buggy.

I've never even ridden on a horse.

Ah!

I'm feeling the rush. I'm feeling the speed.

I'm like, "Yeah, I'm here to get to our destination,

get to where we need to go,

and learn how to drive this thing."

[upbeat jazz music playing]

Yeah, breaks too -- There's somebody coming from the front.

[Judah] Oh, I see, I see. I can't brake 'em.

-Brake. -[James] Brake, brake.

-Harley, brake. -Pump, pump a couple more times.

-Brake, I'm trying. -Pump, pump, pump.

-I'm braking. -Pump.

[Judah] Oh, my God. Stop the car.

Stop the car. Take the wheel.

-Take the wheel. -Never mind.

-We drove past her driving. -Oh, my God.

This is a disaster -- Oh.

I'm literally braking. He has a mind of his own.

-He's not braking. -[James] Stay on this side.

-I'm trying, James. -No, no, no.

Get me out the car. Get me out the car.

[clicks tongue] Let's get on this side of the road.

I never thought my life would end on a horse and a buggy,

but that's what it's looking like it's gonna be today.

We're almost back home. You got this.

You got this. You're not a quitter.

We're gonna force you not to quit.

He farted again. Ew [bleep].

No -- Ew.

Stop the [bleep] car. Stop the [bleep] car.

All I see is the horse's blowhole and the largest clump

of poop flying out. And I know we all poop.

That's a real thing in life.

But it wasn't on my bingo cards to watch a horse poop

right in front of my face.

It was just the most disgusting thing I've ever seen

in my life. And it smelled so bad.

Walking doesn't seem so bad, after all.

[James] This life is not for everyone.

But, A plus for learning. Or trying, at least.

It feels pretty cool to be accepted in this community,

especially from James.

And I know I have to make a decision sooner rather than

later to tell James that I'm bi, but I don't wanna come

out here and be rejected.

I think hiding my sexuality keeps me safe, and I don't know

if the Amish are ready to hear that, and I don't want to be

shunned before they even get a chance to really know me.

[music ends]

[soft music playing]

Are you nervous for, like, their reaction?

I'm a little bit.

What if they're like, "You still can't [indistinct]."

"Sorry, still not good enough for me."

[Esmeralda] I'm having my lashes and nails removed, and I never

thought I'd be seeing that. I feel naked.

I just feel bare.

[door knocks]

-Hey. -[Esmeralda] Hi.

-Hello. -[Emma] Hey [gasps].

-Look at me. -Oh, you got your nails done?

-I did. -Oh, nice.

-They took your eyelash. -They removed them.

It's very, very hard to become Amish.

It is a cultural shock.

To Esmeralda, it felt like she was giving up her identity.

So, I give Esmeralda credit for what she did.

I'm very proud of Esmeralda. That was a big step.

[Emma] You want to put your dress on now?

I do -- Am I allowed now?

-[Emma] Yeah. -Am I ready for that?

Your dress is still in here.

Here, let me see if I can find your covering.

-[Kendra] Are you excited? -[Esmeralda] A little bit.

If you want to put the dress on, we can leave so that...

-[Esmeralda] OK, yeah. -...you can put the dress on.

Then we'll come back in and help you with

the apron and everything. -OK, seams in the front?

Mm-hmm -- This way.

OK, perfect. I will do that.

I'm just so excited they finally gave me

the go-ahead to get dressed.

I feel like I can be less judged now.

They don't have anything to pick on me about.

I just feel better that I just decided to do it

and get it over with.

Cute! -- Aw.

Little Amish girlie.

[Esmeralda] I know, I feel so covered [laughs].

[Kendra] No, it looks cute.

[warm music playing]

♪ Ohhh ♪

I did it.

-Ow, a little bit. -Get it right, get it tight.

[warm music continues]

♪ Ohhh ♪

[Esmeralda] I've literally been doing my nails since I was,

like, I don't know, maybe 16, 15.

Same with my lashes.

I probably look so much younger and so, like, little.

It's, like, all part of the process and, like,

trying to just get used to and, like, feeling comfortable

in, like, my skin again.

[vocalization playing]

Amish women are supposed to dress very modestly out of

reverence and respect to God.

You're beautiful however God made you.

And Esmeralda looks very beautiful in her dress.

Oh, my goodness! Oh, my God!

[country music playing]

-Oh, my God! -Oh, look at Sparky!

-Sparky! -- Oh! -[all cheer]

[Billie Jo] Oh, my gosh! You look so beautiful!

[Aaron] Aw -- This is a moment.

Oh my gosh, you look so gorgeous.

-Hey, come here! -[Esmeralda] Hello.

-Who are you? -I don't know.

-I don't know anymore. -Wow, you look great!

-Thank you. -[James] Amish lady.

[Judah] You look amazing!

Esmeralda still has a long way to go, but this is a big step

into actually conforming and living in

the Amish lifestyle.

It's a big change, so I'm proud of her.

-You look gorgeous! -Thank you.

-I'm proud of you. -Look at the Amish besties!

I know, look at us! Look how cute!

Oh, we're kind of like, matching.

I know this is very hard for Esmeralda

because in the English world, everybody's trying to be

Instagram models with lashes

and, you know, all the get up. And so to take that off

and be vulnerable, like, I'm extremely proud

of her. Like, she looks amazing.

And this ain't easy.

Like, only the tough can survive the Amish.

Esmeralda, I'm very proud of you.

You sacrificed a lot to come into this community.

-And to be a part of it. I'm very proud of you. -I did.

-[Kendra] Good for you, girl. -[Esmeralda] Thank you.

Everyone's like, "Oh my God, I'm so proud of you."

So it just feels nice that everyone's, you know,

um, yeah, like now I'm able to experience it with everyone

and I'm dressed now, so.

[mellow music playing]

[Matt] I'm back in Texas.

I feel like I'm being robbed.

I didn't get to experience this Amish community,

see what the Amish living

was to see if it was a right fit for me and my kids,

and I didn't get to do that.

James is ripping it from my hands.

I feel like some time has passed.

I have been gone from it, and they've all progressed

through it, and...

I still want to pursue it.

Kendra and I have a bond.

Leaving that and not having explored that, that sucks.

These five people that I've come into this with,

I mean, I'm concerned for them.

If this is how I'm treated, I'm concerned that they're

gonna be treated similarly.

[tense music playing]

[Matt] I don't think James is crazy.

I know James is crazy because he chased me with a [bleep] axe.

I was humiliated and traumatized, but if I want to

join the Amish community, then I have to face this guy.

[tense music plays and ends]

[soft music playing]

[moo]

[Billie Jo] Just like everything else here, nothing is easy.

There's always so much to do.

The fields, they're endless.

And I hate hearing the chores for the day.

It's an extreme amount.

And I feel like you're never done.

[Aaron] I think that what I've learned here and am learning here is

it's a life that I'm still

getting used to. You know, like,

it's a lot of work.

[Billie Jo] Oh, gosh.

I'm so tired.

You guys aren't used to getting up early?

No, I'm definitely not, but I do it.

We fed the mule.

[Esmeralda] Oh, yeah, we did, and the cows.

And the cows.

-[Esmeralda] Yeah. -And it's a lot of walking.

-It sure is. -There's a lot of land to cover.

I'm not afraid of work.

As far as the work, I know I'm gonna have to take it

a little easy on them to start with 'cause they're not used

to manual labor like we are. Our work ethic is tied to God.

Scripture does tell us

that "Idle hands are the devil's workshop."

We try to keep busy, try to keep ourselves occupied,

minds occupied.

In order to join the Amish community, they need a good

work ethic. They need to get a job.

Sarah and I are going to do

our best to help them through this time.

Earlier today, we were talking about meeting people.

Don't you call a woman that's not married an old maid?

[Allen] Yeah.

I think in order for me to feel more comfortable

in this community, I probably need to find me an Amish man.

How do you meet Amish and Mennonite people?

What did you use for Sarah? What was Sarah's pick-up line?

[Allen] I actually went to her house.

[Esmeralda] Oh, you're bold.

-[Billie Jo] Oh. -[Esmeralda] Straight to it.

You went right to her house and said...

The worst she can do is say "No."

-[Esmeralda] You're right. -So.

[Billie Jo] I'm very intimidated by men, and I don't trust them.

So, I haven't been on a date in a very long time.

If I want to live a happy Amish life, as much as I'd like

to say I don't wanna date until I'm 70, realistically,

that's not gonna happen.

Realistically, yeah, I do need to meet someone.

And I want to be Amish, so it's best that I find

an Amish suitor. So I need to do it.

It just scares the [bleep] out of me.

-Keep on looking. -[all laugh]

[voices echoing]

With this partial hearing and no hearing aids, in a lot

of these conversations, yeah, I feel left out.

I feel like I'm not included.

They include me, but because of this, I don't feel like

I'm getting the information, and I'm missing so much.

I can see that Aaron is very

irritated with the fact that he can't have

his hearing aids that he was used to.

I do hope that everything's OK with him,

but right now I'm hoping that

he's willing to work with his hands.

-You'll be painting today. -[Aaron] Really?

Allen's bringing me to a house to paint.

I'm not sure exactly where it's at, but I know that

we will be meeting one of his Amish friends there.

It's part of the community, building houses, raising barns.

And, you know, if you don't know how to do these trades,

then how are you gonna be part of the community?

There are times where the Amish work for the English

people, working around the house, painting,

putting siding on, et cetera.

But I guess the biggest thing

is to impress the guys we're gonna be working for.

-Morning, Jacob. -Morning.

[speaking foreign language]

Pretty good.

-Hey. -[Jacob] OK.

Nice meeting you.

OK.

I'm Jacob.

I'm from the Old Order Amish Church

in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

Allen here contacted me about getting Aaron a job

to do some painting.

And obviously, his first day, he's gonna have to,

you know, learn some steps.

[Aaron] Yeah.

[Allen] So it's like churning butter.

[Aaron] OK.

[Jacob] Take your bucket and just put a little coat on it.

-[Aaron] Yeah. -Just a little coat.

That's good for now. You don't wanna go too thick.

[Aaron] There you go.

I've had personal experience with Amish craftsmanship.

They're super hard workers, and they get stuff done really

fast and efficient.

[dramatic vocalization]

[Jacob] So you're new at this.

I'm not gon' push you too hard, but you're gonna have

to work a lot faster. -Oh, absolutely.

You got it. Dude, it's so easy to just

get a spray gun right now, spray the whole thing in

probably 15 seconds,

but you wanna do it the hard way.

Amish people be a little faster, you know,

throwing the rollers and stuff, because you get a little better

idea what they're doing.

[Aaron] What do you think, boss?

Well, this customer's not real picky on this.

I guess Jacob just isn't that impressed with my painting

skills, which is funny, considering Jacob and Allen are

just standing there watching me.

[gentle music playing]

[Emma] I am so excited to learn how to do this.

Really excited to finally be churning some butter today.

-[Emma] Oh, nice pour. -Thank you.

Thank you.

This is my first time pouring cream into a butter churner.

-Oh. -[Emma] See that thing?

That's what churns it, so if

you have to do it hard, it splashes.

Because if you do this long enough, it separates.

-Oh. -Basically the way [indistinct].

-I don't know what I'm doing. -Do it, BJ.

Wow!

This is not as easy as it looks.

[Emma] No, you only have to do this for like two hours.

-Two hours? -You're joking.

-[exhales heavily] -God.

[Kendra] It's getting real thick.

[Esmeralda] Yeah.

Go down lower, because you're there.

-[all groan] -[Billie Jo] Go, girls.

[Esmeralda laughs]

[Billie Jo] I don't wanna get it on me.

[Kendra] Why are you going so fast?

-[Kendra] Emma, watch this. -[Emma] Is it done?

Yeah, we finished it off.

The three of us, we just finished it right off.

Oh, my gosh. Should we look at it?

In my mind, listen,

we're really winning on all ends.

We got the motion. We got the noise.

It's like [slurping sounds].

I know BJ and Esme are all thinking the same.

We were on, like, the devil's side.

Sweet little Emma's just like, "Here's my butter."

Like, but we're all like, "Yeah."

Like, it is what it is.

You cannot think of that.

You'd never be able to tell this is the first time

doing this. -[Emma] Let me see.

-Let's check. -You it's done?

Yep, it's done.

-Oh. -[Billie Jo] Wow.

We did good, ladies. Way to churn it.

-Churn, baby, churn. -[Kendra] Churn, churn, churn.

[Billie Jo] Churn -- Churn, baby.

I am super proud of myself and the other girls,

because we're nailing it.

We're really killing it out here in the Amish life.

[heavenly vocalization]

[Aaron] So, Jacob, you married? You have kids?

-No, never married. -Yeah?

[Jacob] No kids.

How about you?

Do you have any plans on, you know, getting married?

This what?

I said, "Do you have any plans on getting married?"

It seems like Aaron can't hear Jacob very well right now.

-Have you ever courted a girl? -[Jacob] No.

[Aaron] Yeah.

Oh, boy.

What I know about the Amish people is that they look out

for each other.

And just this morning, BJ was just saying that she's looking

for an Amish guy.

So, Jacob, I got a question for you.

Do you have any preference for English girls?

Oh, I don't know.

[Aaron] Because, I mean, if you have a preference

for English girls, maybe we can

find you one. -Oh, OK.

[Allen] Yeah, Jacob might be the typical Amish man that

Billie Jo is looking for.

I would consider setting up a date for them.

[Jacob] OK.

I guess you're good for the day.

We're gonna call it a day.

[Jacob] I said, "I think you're pretty much good

with painting now." -[Aaron] OK.

With this partial hearing and no hearing aids, normally

I can read lips, but I have my back turned toward them,

and I can't hear anything, and I can't comprehend what

they need from me, and it's incredibly frustrating.

Do you think I did a good job?

Uh, that's a decent job for a first day.

I'm gonna expect better,

you know, as time goes on, you know.

[Aaron] I think Jacob was impressed with my painting today.

Um, man, wow, I'm struggling. This is killing me.

Let me take one second.

[dark music playing]

[Aaron sighs]

I'm struggling right now. This is crazy.

[soft music playing]

[James] I do have something for you.

It's an Amish-approved hearing aid.

I know taking Aaron's hearing aids away caused him

a big struggle, so...

we promised to get him some hearing aids that don't require

an app or a phone.

They are older technology, battery-powered.

They don't connect to a phone.

Are you willing to at least try them?

[soft, dramatic music playing]

[dramatic music builds]

I appreciate that James is trying to help me out,

but the problem is these hearing aids, even if they

were a $10,000 pair, it's still gonna affect me.

I have to go through this whole process where my head

has to adjust to everything.

So I knew instantly that these were not going to work.

[sighs]

[bleep]

[Aaron] I'm done with these.

I'm just gonna have to do what I've always done,

is just, learn to adapt.

[dramatic music ends]

[gentle, joyful music playing]

-[Billie Jo sighs] -All right.

I'm nervous because I am going on a blind date with an Amish

guy that Allen found for me.

-OK. -[Esmeralda] Bye-bye.

[Billie Jo] Bye-bye.

We'll see you soon. Thank you so much.

In the Amish world, I'm considered an old maid.

The fact that Allen cares enough to throw me back into

the dating world is nerve-wracking,

but also very sweet of him to do.

I've heard that Amish dating is very simple, like

the Amish life.

So we'll see what it's all about.

But yeah, I'm definitely nervous.

I've got butterflies.

He could very well sweep me off my feet.

So I don't wanna say the wrong things.

And you know, what if he doesn't like me?

-Hi. -Hi -- Are you Billie Jo?

-I am. -What's your name?

I'm Jacob.

Jacob, it's so nice to meet you.

-Yes -- I'm pretty good. -How are you?

-Good. -How about yourself?

-I'm doing well. -Yeah.

I guess we're gonna be going on a walk.

Yeah, let's do it. Let's go for a walk.

-Do you wanna walk this way? -Yeah.

[Allen] Courting in our culture is very basic and simple.

When you had an interest in a girl, you would go to

her house and you would ask her out on a date.

We'd be at home Saturday nights, and we'd be up in

our room and wait on some of the boys to show up.

It was not always successful, you know, sometimes she'd turn

you down, but if she did accept, you know, you would sit

and chat, you know, and try to get to know each other.

We dated for two and a half years before we got married.

She put up with my dumb jokes and...

Actually, I never dated anyone.

He was the only one I ever dated, so.

Boo-hoo

So you're Amish. Were you born Amish?

Yes.

Jacob is here, and he is very big.

I love the haircuts. I love the suspenders.

I love all of that. I was certainly comfortable.

Have you ever thought about wanting to be English?

Uh, yes. There's times, you know,

where, you know, I'm not totally sure, you know,

one way or the other, but...

[Billie Jo] Do you wanna sit down over here on this bench?

-Sure. -OK.

Oh, did you know that I was gonna be wearing blue too?

-No, I had no idea. -Blue is my favorite color.

-OK. -OK?

Yeah.

[Billie Jo] Jacob, I kind of have to pry things out of.

If I could get him to say something other than, "OK, OK."

-I like your haircut. -OK, yeah.

Sometimes I get kinda tired of it, but that's kind of

Amish style. -I like the Amish style.

So, what are some of the things that you kind of miss, or maybe

because you're Amish you can't do?

It'd be nice sometimes to have a car to do stuff.

And there's kind of tough to explain, but yeah, just...

Is it because they have a lot of rules?

Yes, that'd be one of the reasons.

-That's one for me, for sure. -Yeah.

I really wanna be Amish, but I'm like wild and free.

You know what I mean?

OK.

-I have a tattoo. -OK.

-[chuckles] Do you wanna see it? -Sure.

It's not very big, but it's on the back of my neck.

-OK. -It's just my birthday.

OK.

You don't have any tattoos, do you?

-Yeah. -No, you don't, really.

Can you show 'em or no?

Oh, they're all kind of hidden tattoos.

Oh, well, I guess they'd have to be.

Where you got 'em hidden, Jacob?

Where are you? On my back and on my legs.

Oh my gosh, you don't seem like a tattoo kind of guy.

Good for you. Any other secrets you wanna...

I don't know.

It's just you and me out here next to this cornfield.

[lighthearted music playing]

Any other secrets you wanna...

I don't know.

It's just you and me out here next to this cornfield.

I actually have my nipples pierced too.

No!

I think you're lying.

I would have been able to see it, I think.

I don't believe you.

I can't believe that.

Let me see. You don't dare to show me.

You can touch it.

-Are you sure? -Yeah.

I don't feel it.

Your nipples are hard, but I don't feel it.

-[Jacob] Yeah. -[Billie Jo] But you promise me?

-Yeah. -You could show me.

-I just... -Yeah.

We would -- We would -- You could show me like this.

There you go. I can't even believe it.

Oh, wow, you really do. Both of them, even.

Good for you. Wow, Jacob.

Good for you -- Wow.

And you did it more than once. That must have been painful.

[Jacob] Yeah.

But it was a fun kind of pain, but...

Whoa! -- This date turned.

He's telling me his secrets and I love that for him.

He's comfortable enough to tell me things and I'm like,

"Yes, tell me everything. I wanna learn everything."

You're probably like

the coolest Amish guy I ever met.

OK.

This super Amish, tall, burly, quiet, meek guy is

actually like a closeted badass.

I have so much to learn about the Amish.

I still -- I still can't believe this is what I'm seeing.

Well, this was a fun date, Jacob.

OK.

[Billie Jo] You're very interesting. I don't know.

Do we shake? Do we hug?

I don't know how dates go. Let's hug.

OK -- Oh, thank you.

Billie Jo was a lot of fun to hang out with, and...

You know, I've never really been on a date with a girl

And stuff, so it's been a lot of fun.

[Billie Jo] You walk so fast, Jacob.

-You're so tall. -[Jacob] I'm just.

[Billie Jo] That's OK.

[Jacob] I'm used to doing stuff like this,

walking with other people like this.

[Billie Jo] Yeah.

I don't know if there was a romantic connection.

I'd give the date 3.5 out of 5 stars.

The fact that he's Amish, like,

that gives him three stars right there.

And who would have thought that it would be an Amish man

to get me out dating again?

[Jacob] OK.

[intriguing music playing]

[Matt] I had some unfinished business, I felt like, out here,

so I decided that I needed to come back.

When I left, I was pretty emotional.

I had a confrontation with James.

[James] I told you to leave -- Go!

But it just felt really abrupt.

I am stressed and nervous about seeing James,

but this is something I wanna pursue.

I wouldn't be here if I didn't want to pursue it.

[country music playing]

[James] Whatever you can carry, just pile them in

wherever they fit.

[James laughs]

-You thirsty? -[Judah] Definitely.

-[James] I am. -Hello, sisters.

-Sister Kendra. -We brought you some lemonade.

What are you guys doing in here?

We just put those haystacks over there, and then we just

climbed up there. -[Billie Jo] Do you want some?

-[Kendra] Is it good, Judah? -[Judah] Very good.

Thank you.

So Billie Jo, how did it go with Jacob?

[Billie Jo] Um... Oh, my gosh, you guys.

This is awkward.

He had the Amish haircut, which --

-[Kendra speaking] -[Billie Jo] Yeah.

-[Kendra] Aw. -[Judah] Dig it.

[Billie Jo] He was so sweet, very tall, and he is rebellious.

-Like, he's a naughty Amish man. -[Judah speaking]

[tense music playing]

-[James] Amish lady. -Tough girl.

-It's kind of heavy, actually. -[Aaron] It is heavy.

-A barn gym. -Yeah.

If I want to be Amish, I have to face James again.

[Billie Jo] What do you guys need next?

Do you guys need some brooms or...?

[Emma] Yeah, can you guys sweep this?

[Esmeralda] She gave me the broom.

Wait, what?

What? -- Are you kidding me right now?

[tense music builds and ends]

What?

-What? -[Kendra screams excited]

-Are you kidding me right now? -Oh, Jesus.

[James] Oh!

-[Esmeralda] Aw. -[Kendra sobs]

[Kendra] The whole play it cool, I did not play it cool at all.

I have a crush on him. I haven't seen him.

I didn't know if I was gonna see him.

I saw him. I got excited.

I ran, I slipped, I fell. I embarrassed myself.

Like, sue me.

Oh, my God.

-[Aaron] Matthew. -[Matt] Oh.

[Aaron] Look at your Amish clothes.

[Matt speaking]

Apparently, Matt didn't get the hint.

I'm not sure why he came back. I was surprised, actually.

-[Matt] A little bit of a surprise. -[Aaron] Yeah.

-A little bit. -How are you feeling?

Uh, I'm OK. Uh, a little nervous.

[James] I don't know who Matt thinks he is come barging

into this place. He's divorced.

He can't remarry once he joins the church.

I don't know why he's here.

-For real? -[Kendra] Yeah, genuinely.

[James] Kendra was so happy to see you back,

she hurt herself.

You're already trouble.

He wasn't supposed to come back, and look what happened.

Kendra bolts for temptation and falls and hurts herself.

So, is it an act of God? I don't know.

Makes me wonder.

Matt, why are you back?

[tense chord plays]

[Matt] James seems frustrated.

I don't think he thought I would ever come back after

our last encounter, so he seems surprised, but also mad.

-I told you to leave. -[Matt] I know.

I'm here to rejoin.

I'd love to talk to you.

[Billie Jo] Matt pissed James off.

Now I'm kind of questioning his intentions, like,

are you here 'cause you thought,

"Ooh, maybe I can date Kendra,"

or are you here to be Amish?

Which one is it?

I know we had a bit of a disagreement last time.

[James] Mm-hmm.

I'd love to see if we can at least have

a conversation about it.

[speaking in foreign language]

[tense, dark music playing]

I don't think I've ever seen James this mad.

[speaking foreign language]

There's a pit in my stomach. My palms are sweaty.

Anything could happen right now.

Go ahead.

OK.

[James speaking]

[clears throat]

[Kendra] Next time on "Suddenly Amish."

[James] We're bringing everybody to church.

I just pretended to look at the book 'cause I don't know

what else to do. -[man #1 speaking]

[Judah] There was no other African American folk up in there.

I definitely feel like pepper in a salt bucket.

[Billie Jo] Oh, oh, my God!

I saw a lot of strange things with Emma and James.

[James speaking]

[Matt] Allen talked to me about touching.

If we were in the modern world,

I would have kissed Kendra by now.

You're an English guy trying to drag off our Amish ladies.

We'd had enough of James [bleep].

We decided to go to a hotel.

[James] There's probably only one thing happening in there.

I have to put a stop to this.

[door knocks]
