VANCOUVER, CANADA: In the upcoming episode of the Lifetime show 'Prison Brides' titled 'Parole Proposal', the stage is set for Michael to make a life-changing decision. The episode's title aptly aligns with Michael's plan to propose to Erin.

Against the backdrop of his impending parole, Michael decides to take a significant step toward a brighter future. Equipped with a ring Erin bought from Australia, Michael prepares to pop the question, marking a symbolic bridge between their past and the potential future they envision together.

The episode unfolds with anticipation, bringing them one step closer to realizing their dream of marriage and a shared life beyond the challenges they've faced.

Erin, fueled by a daring leap of faith, left her child behind in her home country to embark on the bold journey of marrying Michael, a prison inmate she had never met.
