Ep 3. Bellas Without Borders

The third episode of the fifth season of Total Bellas is titled "Bellas Without Borders". In this episode, the Bella twins - Nikki and Brie - embark on separate trips out of the country, leaving their significant others behind to handle things at home.

First, Nikki takes a trip to Paris with her Dancing with the Stars partner Artem. The couple explores the city of love and takes in some of the famous sights, including the Eiffel Tower and the Palace of Versailles. Nikki also takes the opportunity to reflect on her past relationships and opens up to Artem about her struggles with commitment. The two grow closer as they explore the romantic city, but Nikki starts to feel conflicted about her feelings for Artem and whether or not she's ready to jump into a new romantic relationship so soon after her breakup with John Cena.

Meanwhile, Brie travels to Mexico with her family and friends, including her sister-in-law, Lauren, and their children. The group stays in a beautiful villa and spends their days lounging by the pool and indulging in delicious Mexican cuisine. However, tensions rise when Brie's husband, Bryan, starts to clash with Lauren's husband, JJ, over their differing parenting styles. Brie tries to play peacemaker, but things come to a head during a tense dinner where the couples argue over how their children should be raised.

Back at home, Nikki's boyfriend, Artem, struggles to adjust to life without her. He spends his time renovating their home and trying to get in touch with his own emotions. Artem also opens up to Brie's husband, Bryan, about his feelings for Nikki and the difficulties they've faced in their budding relationship.

Ultimately, both trips serve as opportunities for the Bella twins and their loved ones to reflect on their relationships and their personal growth. The episode ends on a hopeful note as Nikki returns home to Artem and Brie and her family reconcile their differences.
