An exclusive clip from tonight’s episode shows Ikechi meeting with Emem’s family and friends after they tied the knot. According to the college counselor, as a Black man, it’s “not the easiest thing to be vulnerable.”

He says however that this is the “most vulnerable” he’s been considering that he’s taking the risk of failing in marriage in front of millions of people.

Emem’s friend is receptive to his comments but she reminds him that he’ll be vetted.

“We’re not like the FBI, but close!” she warns.
