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.

Her nerves were palpable as she navigated the unfamiliar path of marrying someone with a complex past.

In contrast, Michael's first episode revealed a dramatic and somewhat obnoxious demeanor. His visible anger during conversations with Erin hinted at the challenges ahead. Despite the tension, the next episode promises a sweet moment between the two.

Erin and Michael's online encounter unfolded when they crossed paths in a virtual community. Erin was captivated by Michael's innocent face in his profile picture, and their connection deepened through frequent phone calls.
