In Queer Eye season 4 episode 6, titled "A Tale of Two Cultures," the Fab Five travel to Jackson Heights, Queens to help a married couple navigate their cultural differences and improve their relationship. The couple, Arthy and John, come from different backgrounds and have been struggling to find common ground.
The Fab Five, consisting of Antoni Porowski (Food & Wine expert), Tan France (Fashion expert), Karamo Brown (Culture expert), Bobby Berk (Interior Design expert), and Jonathan Van Ness (Grooming expert), begin their mission by meeting with Arthy and John separately to learn more about their individual needs and concerns.
Antoni focuses on their love for food and helps John learn how to make traditional Indian dishes that Arthy loves. Tan works on updating their wardrobes to reflect their unique styles while also incorporating elements of each other's cultures. Karamo talks with the couple about communication and helps them improve their ability to understand and respect each other's perspectives.
Bobby transforms their cluttered apartment into a welcoming space that blends both of their cultures in a beautiful way. He also helps them create a designated area for prayer and reflection, which is an important aspect of Arthy's culture.
Finally, Jonathan helps John update his grooming routine and teaches him how to take care of his thick hair while also incorporating elements that reflect Arthy's cultural heritage.
Throughout the episode, the Fab Five also learn about the history and culture of Jackson Heights, which is known for its diversity and vibrant community. They meet with local business owners, visit a famous Indian sweets shop, and even participate in a traditional Indian dance class.
As the episode comes to a close, Arthy and John are thrilled with the improvements they've made in their relationship and feel more confident about navigating their cultural differences moving forward. The Fab Five leave Jackson Heights having made a positive impact on not only Arthy and John but also the community as a whole.
