Basically, she left the house because she wanted to be alone and to not have to face the cameras. Karine said she was also upset because she isn’t adapting well to the U.S. Moreover, she and Paul have been arguing a lot.

Karine explained that a few weeks ago, she had given Paul two months to find a job, but nothing has happened so far. She decided to visit an immigration lawyer to find out her options.

However, she needs help, as she is growing desperate. Karine truly wants to go home to Brazil to see her family but she doesn’t think Paul will agree. She doesn’t want to have to choose between her husband and her family.

Karine saw the immigration lawyer, accompanied by an interpreter. When she explained the situation, she was told she was legally resident in the U.S. Karine has every right to visit her family in Brazil with her son. Her segment of the episode reveals her telling Paul where she had been. This will no doubt cause major drama in an upcoming episode.
