01x07 - Second Chances

[bunniefuu]

♪♪

[Ashley] Last night, I was shocked
because I didn't expect

Quinn, my ex-boyfriend
to show up.

You know, I'm very torn
because I have another man

in the house who I am starting
to grow feelings for.

But I did love
Quinn at one point,

so I feel like now
I'm just in such a pickle

and I need to think a lot.

[Taylor] So how are you guys
feeling about today?

I mean, I feel...
I feel good.

And how do you feel about
Adam coming in the house?

Honestly, Adam
walked up the stairs

and I was like, okay,
I can automatically tell

that he's here for Allyssa,
you know?

-100%.
-Yeah, exactly.

-Bro, I knew.
-Yeah, yeah. You already know.

How do you feel about Quinn
coming into the house?

The other night at
the pool party was insane.

-That was a lot.
-Yeah, need to rest.

That was a lot for me.

[Ashley] You guys are also like
attacking me as a group.

-[Anthony] No one's attacking you.
-[Claude] She's such a f*cking b*tch.

I'm a b*tch?

Why are people like so... I feel
like it's instinct to be...

-They're just...So this is the thing.
-No, you hear me out.

Don't be Kyle.

[Taylor] That's kind of
my whole deal right now.

It's like,
we can talk about Quinn

and how I feel about him
coming in the house.

But honestly, for me right now,
it's that pool party situation.

I'm excited for a second
date with Ashley,

hopefully if that comes,

just because the first date
went really well.

But her actions at the pool
were a little out of hand,

so I'm just
questioning if Ashley

may not be
the right person for me.

Obviously, the way she
acting it was, it was very...

[Travis] I definitely just feel like
she put a spotlight on herself, so...

-Yeah.
-She did.

[Taylor] Some people can do, can put
up with... can be like that.

-Some people...
-[Dylan] Some people can.

Some people can think
put up with that.

-I don't think anyone here can.
-[Travis] Yeah, yeah.

-I personally can't.
-[Dylan] 100%.

♪♪

[Nigel] Woo!

[Allyssa] Yeah, what happened
with Jeff last night?

-Jeffrey...
-He had a little portal action, I think.

-[Allyssa] Really?
-He did.

And apparently it's someone
that is pretty close to him.

[Jeff] Oh my God.
I'm trying not to cry.

He came to my room last night
at like 5:00 am

and he was just like,
full of emotion.

He's just like,
I don't even know

how to feel, like,
my best friend's here.

-I wish my best friend was here.
-[All] Yeah.

You know what I mean?

[Kasey] This is a new
adventure for him.

Yeah.

♪♪

[Jeff] Today, I'm going on
a date with Alex.

I've been talking
to my roommates

about my five best friends.

I have a picture
frame on my dresser,

so I'm excited to
let him meet my roommates.

[Alex]
Today on the date with Jeff,

I'm kind of hoping
that we both get clarity.

I've had feelings for Jeff
probably since I met him.

We started out
as hooking up,

but it kind of just
transitioned

into this friendship,

a very close friendship
that I love and cherish.

So he might be surprised
to learn where I stand.

I might be surprised
to learn where he does.

Worst case scenario, he tells me
he's never thought that

and that it's
all in my head.

-[Kasey] Yeah.
-[Allyssa] This is good for him.

[Kasey] It is. We were just...

Yo.

[Kasey] Oh hey, what's up?

I want you guys
to meet Alex.

-Hi, Alex!
-These are my roommates.

-[Jeff] This is Vince.
-I'm Vince.

-[Alex] Nice to meet you.
-[Jeff] Nigel.

[Alex] How's it going?
Nice to meet you.

[Kasey] Sorry, we're like, on the floor.

Alex can talk to a wall.

He will thrive in
any environment possible.

So I think watching
him interact with

my roommates is great
because he fits perfectly.

[Jeff] I was asking who he was getting
along with the best in his house

when he like, first got there,
and he said

him and Yurika
have the same schedule.

-Yeah.
-No way.

We both woke up at 7:30.

Had a work out, cooked
breakfast for the house.

[Kasey] Oh my God!

[Vince] That's so good. I'm
so glad because

she was honestly,
like, devastated

after like her three
best friends, like, left.

And so I'm really glad that
she's connected with you.

[Alex] Yeah, she's really sweet.

Everyone in the house
is honestly very nice.

Everyone was so welcoming.

[Jeff] So, I met Alex on a dating
app like three years ago,

and we just kept like
messaging back and forth.

And I was like,

why does he not want
to meet up with me?

Like, I was like, he is fake.

He's a catfish.
He's so sketchy.

And literally
after like four weeks,

I was like, if you don't meet me
right now for a drink,

I'm just blocking your number.

I was like, this is stupid.

[Alex] So like strutting along

to meet him for a margarita
in a blizzard.

But I went, I went.

[Jeff] And post open heart surgery.

[Alex] Yes, I still had bandages on
and a scar...

[Jeff] I was unaware of all of this.

So I'm like, get here now.

And he's like, this is actually

the first day
I'm allowed to drink.

And then did
you guys just like,

click instantly from then?
What's the story now?

[Jeff] You know, we definitely,
like, dated for,

I would say,
probably like three months.

He's like always scheming
something and like...

-[Kasey] Scheming.
-Schemer.

[Jeff] I know this is like, weird but
like, I just say something,

I'm like, oh, like,
I really want

to go to Paris, for example.

And then for a birthday
present, he was like,

oh, I got us tickets.

We're going to Paris
for the weekend.

We just like went
to Paris for the weekend.

-[Allyssa] You're my dream man.
-[Jeff] Yeah.

Like the way he thinks
is just so like, nice.

-[Jeff] It's like...
-[Alex] That was a great trip, though.

I'm obsessed with you.

-Oh.
-[Kasey] Yeah, I really like you so far.

-[Alex] So far. It could change.
-[Kasey] So far.

[Jeff]
Things change here every hour.

-[Jeff] So, you want to go in the water?
-[Alex] Yes. Absolutely.

I think the tough thing
about pursuing something

with a friend...

[cheering]

...is risking
that support system

that you've established,
is scary.

-[Kasey] See you later, bye.
-[Allyssa] Enjoy. I'll see you all later.

[Nigel] See you in the future.

-Ready...
-Okay.

...set, go.

Ow!

You're not doing a
very good job at this.

Me? I'm on it!

You're the one
who's falling off.

[Alex] You know, we've kind of like,
have always blurred

the lines a little between
friends, more than friends.

[Jeff] I do think even if,
like you ask

any of our friends
in New York,

they probably would always
just assume we're dating.

-[Jeff] Is it bad?
-[Alex] It's not bad...

...but like, I think that it's time
we kind of explore it

and see if
there's something there.

[Jeff] I don't handle
pressure well.

I don't want
to put pressure on you.

Let's just see what happens.

[Jeff] The fact that he gave up
whatever he gave up

to come here
and explore this,

it puts a little ounce
of pressure on me.

I think I pushed his emotions
away and never addressed them.

And it's forcing me
to be like, okay, like

this kid has tried so hard
to get your attention,

and now he's making
this grand gesture.

I can't run forever.

♪♪

I am so excited for
round two with Taylor.

Taylor and I just scratched
the surface on the first date.

So, just like really can't
wait to hear more about him

and his life.

Today we'll really be able
to tell if there is like,

a genuine connection and
we're actually compatible.

There's a lot to talk
about with Ashley.

Just kind of clear
some things up that happened

at the pool party,
and see what she says about it.

What happened at
the pool party

is making me
question a lot of things.

[Ashley] Thanks for
helping me up this hill.

-Oh my God. Let's go.
-Oh my gosh!

-There's horses!
-Let's go!

-[Taylor] Holy crap. That's crazy.
-[Ashley] What?

[Ashley] Oh my gosh,
they're so pretty.

[Taylor] Which one do you want
to ride?

-[Ashley] I'll ride him.
-[Taylor] Want me to help you?

[Ashley] Yeah, he's so pretty.
He's big.

[Taylor] Hey buddy, hey.

It's absolutely
gorgeous here.

The horses are beautiful.

I'm big into outdoors things.

Like, this is... this is right
up my alley.

-[Taylor] You got it?
-[Ashley] Yeah.

Okay, there we go.

Taylor's being
a total gentleman,

helping me get on the horse,

calming the horse
down for me.

Whoa.

-You ready?
-Yeah.

[Taylor] All right.
Let's go.

-[Taylor] Are you doing good?
-[Ashley] Yeah.

♪♪

Taylor looks very cute
on that horse,

I'm on the taller horse,
he's on the shorter one.

Maybe we should have switched.

[Ashley] You didn't think
I'd bring a whip

on the second date, did you?

It's really important to me to
be able to do outdoor activities

with someone that I date.

[Taylor] Nice.

I come from the country,
so you know,

you city slickers,
you got to go.

-[Taylor] This is beautiful.
-[Ashley] Wonderful view.

That was so much fun.

You want to have a drink?

Thank you.

Cheers.

Cheers to riding horses.

-Riding horses in mountains.
-Trying new things.

Where's your head at
with everything right now?

Like with what?

Like, I know Quinn's
in the house now.

And how has that been?

Yeah, just going to start
with the fire. All right.

Start it up.
No, I don't care.

-I'm just curious. I mean, I want to know.
-Yeah, no, that's fair.

So... They're like...
I am torn to an extent.

Quinn is my ex and
I care a lot about him.

You know, on the other hand,
I'm still getting to know you.

Yeah, it honestly feels like
I've known you for a long time.

-We like, connected and we...
-We clicked.

-Yeah. Immediately, yeah.
-Yeah, we clicked.

-I'm having a great time with you.
-Yeah.

It's fun. You're fun.
I think we're really similar.

Just because you're
so outgoing and

-Yeah.
-loud like me.

Another thing, too,
like the whole

like, 23 year old thing.

Like, age is just a number.

Like, yeah, I'm 23, 24 or
whatever it is, but like...

-23.
-Yeah, going on 24.

But like, I just want you
to know, like,

I'm here for the right reasons

and I truly want to get
to know you

and see where see
where it goes.

But...

I want to also let you know,
like...

At the pool, I hope you don't
think everyone is attacking you.

[Alicia]
We're trying to break it down

and let you know
what's really happening.

[Ashley] No, because you won't
see my side. You're like...

-[Anthony] No...
-[Claude] We see your side.

[Claude] You're reading
way too much into it.

You don't think that people

screaming in my face
is attacking me?

Like they weren't
trying to attack you.

I think they were just trying
to defend everyone in the house.

But that's not their business.

It was tough for me,

because I felt like I was
the middle man, you know

what I mean? And I will protect you
and I will have you back.

But then there's
these people over here

that I spent
every single day with,

just like you spend
every single day with your...

But like, are you here for
them or are you here for me?

[Taylor] I'm not here for them.
I'm here for you.

The rest of it's all bullshit.

I just want to let
you know like,

no one was trying
to attack you.

He says he feels stuck
in the middle, but like,

if you're here for me,
like you shouldn't be stuck

in the middle, like, why
aren't you defending me?

I don't appreciate you
coming here and defending

somebody who yelled at me
and kind of telling me like,

"Oh no, it just didn't happen."

That night,
I defended you. I did.

That night, yes, you did.

Yes, and I still am.

I just want you to know
that they didn't mean

what you thought they meant.

I'm allowed to
have my own opinions.

I'm allowed
to have my own thoughts.

Of course, yeah.

Quinn came in, he was like,
"People were talking sh*t on you

and I said,
Ashley is my girl,

I have her back," like...

Quinn wasn't
at the party, either.

But I think Quinn realizes
that he's here for me.

So like, he's going
to have my back regardless.

Well, I had your back and
I always will have your back.

I'm just saying
it doesn't seem that way.

Maybe Taylor's age
is showing a little bit,

the fact that he's that easily
influenced by the house,

claiming a whole other story

and like that,
I just misunderstood.

Like, how do you misunderstand
someone screaming at you?

It's just a little like back
and forth, like,

am I on her side,
am I on their side?

Like, why is that a hard
decision to make?

It just seems a
little, you know, sketchy.

I'm just trying
to get my point across

in the most respectful
way possible.

But she's not looking
at it that way.

She feels like
she's being attacked.

She thinks everyone's
out to get her.

That's not the case.

All the other stuff is bullshit.
I'm just here to focus on you.

[Ashley] Okay.

[Taylor] The conversation didn't go
the way I wanted it to.

The way Ashley's acting
is making me

question a lot of things, and
I don't know where we stand.

[Ashley] Should we head out?

[Taylor] Yeah, let's get
out of here, let's go.

[Ashley] Right now, I'm
feeling very frustrated.

Like you saw me get screamed at.

You defended me in the moment,

but it seems like he went back
to the house,

changed his mind, and
it's not going to help him.

It's not going to help us.

-[Adam] What's up, man?
-[Travis] What's good, Adam?

How's it going, bro?

Chilling, man, chilling.
How are you doing today?

Chilling, same as you.

Yeah? It's been a while since I had
a second date with Allyssa, you know?

We had got to connect
on the car ride,

we got to ride in a
drop top Mercedes.

It was dope, man.

We had beautiful views
and I definitely felt

like we had genuine moments.

I was gonna kiss your forehead.

But I'll take another one.

[Allyssa] I'm having fun with
Travis, but he thinks that

he's winning me over
with gifts and words.

And I think that
he's moving too fast,

like at an accelerated pace
that's scaring me a little.

She's definitely like
a direct person, you know?

That's what I like about her.

What do you like
most about her?

I think it's
this combination of smart,

compassionate and confident.

It just resonates with me.

When you walked in the house,
it definitely was like, okay,

it is time to step
my game up a little bit, you know?

Yeah, it feels like some kind of
pressure is on, I guess.

We do represent
two different backgrounds,

but I can handle
whatever comes my way.

And I feel like if Allyssa and
I keep vibing this way,

there is no
limit to where we can go.

I declare...

-...w*r.

[Jeff] Going into tonight's
date with Alex,

I think we have a lot of things
we need to like, dive into.

Once I kiss Alex,

it kind of opens that door
that's like,

hey, let's see if
a relationship could happen.

I mean, I guess I have to like,

really look within
and see what my heart says.

But currently,
I don't know yet.

[Alex] Going into the date tonight,

I'm a little nervous
that me and Jeff

might just revert back
to old patterns

where we kind of just,

you know, avoid emotion and
don't talk about anything.

There's only so much
I can do.

You know, I can only be

honest and open
and tell him how I feel.

Overall, I'm excited,
but I'm...

Like, there is a part of me
in the back of my head

that's a little scared.

This is the last time
I'm doing this.

There's only so many times
I can, like, open myself up.

It's just tough.

[Alex] Wow, this might be the
fanciest thing we've ever done.

-[Alex] Oh my God.
-[Jeff] Yeah.

[Jeff] Cheers to... I'm really happy
you came all the way here

and I know it wasn't easy
for you,

and so I'm looking forward
to deepening that conversation.

Same.

I just drooled, so that's cute.

-That's just so...
-How romantic.

I was kind of nervous
coming into tonight.

We've talked in the past
a little and, you know,

we kind of talked about that
cycle that like,

you know, the feelings
come up to the surface

and we do something
about it.

And the next day, we kind of
pretend like it didn't happen.

I was just like,
a little anxious

that maybe that was going
to like, happen again.

I obviously do have all
these feelings for you,

and I think one of like,
my big fears

is that I'm afraid of
the "what if" behind

like this doesn't work out
or like the fear of like

losing you.
It's very nerve wracking.

I think the cause of
the pattern of me and Jeff

that we've been doing year
after year is fear.

Crossing a line
that you can't come back from

is always scary.

But to me, the reward kind
of outweighs the risk.

And for a long time,
my second fear was

feeling alone in this,

that I was
the only one feeling it.

I didn't know kind of how he was
feeling or if he felt the same.

So to be here and hear him
say that he does feel the same,

this isn't all in my head.

It was really,
really refreshing.

It's interesting, though,
because it's like,

why can't we like,
push to the next level?

And I think that's what
I'm trying to do with you,

like now is push myself
to a point that like,

I've never allowed myself
to push myself to.

Yeah. You know,
we've spent so long

telling ourselves so harshly
that we're friends

that like, it's going
to take a little bit

to kind of like,
move past that.

I think another thing
that I probably struggle

with is the commitment.

And like the adult aspect,

I feel like we both have seen
so many of our friends

and just go through like
divorces,

or we feel like they're
complacent or they're settling.

We look at all these
people whose lives

we don't want to have.

And I feel like it's scary
to think that

that could be like... the end,

if you will, that
we're just like, adulting.

I maybe am scared of
like a full on commitment

because I think it's like,

you're becoming an adult
and like giving up on life

maybe is how I perceive it.

I don't know,
but there's clearly

like some mental block

that I have a difficult
time processing.

And in your mind right now,
is it like maybe worth the risk?

[Jeff] I mean, yeah, or else
you would've went home.

So I feel like,
am I past our reoccurring thing?

A thing I've always done
is I always run.

And I think I don't want
to run from you.

So, here's to seeing where

the rest of this night
takes us.

I feel like you'll
never not be nervous

taking a risk
with your best friend

because you do have
so much to lose.

That's the person who knows

all your deep,
dark secrets and

that's the person you call
when you're upset.

That's the person
you call when you're happy.

So, to risk losing
that person is scary.

-[Jeff] This is all over me.
-[Alex] Oh my God.

We're making serious

Thank you for letting me

[Betty Who] That must feel really

Yeah, I mean,
it's only been two dates,

Nigel, after we've talked about
how amazing

this date went last night...

I'd hate to pile on.

There is another
gorgeous, fabulous woman

waiting to meet you.
And my friend,

when you're ready, do you want
to meet me at portal?

-Let's do it.
-Okay, I'll see you over there.

[Nigel] See you soon.

I feel nervous because
my feelings

for Alicia are really growing,

and sometimes
the portal opens up

and we have a mix
of emotions

where you're also excited
to see what path you're

going to go down with the new
person that just entered your life.

Nigel.

Desiree!

-[Nigel] Hey, beautiful.
-[Dezi] How are you doing?

Me with Dezi, I went on the most
amazing date of my life.

We've always had a phenomenal
relationship, but I for sure

was not ready for commitment
when I first met Dezi.

You look beautiful.

-Thank you Nigel.
-As always.

I met Nigel at a house party

and Nigel was standing there

like a little gargoyle off
to the side.

You know how like
you're at a party,

you like dancing, you're
like "Girl, he cute.

Is he cute? He cute?
Okay. I think he's cute."

I think what made Nigel
so appealing

in this relationship was
I actually dated my friend.

I just know that I love
you unconditionally.

You were like
my best friend.

You were like,
my business partner...

My...

...somebody who I bounce
all kind of ideas off of.

I would say Nigel and
I are no longer together,

mainly because of loyalty.

People aren't perfect.
Lord knows I'm not perfect,

but what I am is loyal.

I have no
expectations for you.

I just expect for you
to be yourself.

And I love you, and I'm here.

I'm not in love with Dezi,
but she understands me.

I'm just scared
of potentially

being with Dezi, how
that can change the dynamics

of our relationship.

But having Alicia here,
I can feel that love growing,

and it really
has me confused.

[Dezi] This is crazy.

[Nigel] I'll take you to
meet some people.

I wasn't expecting anyone

a knock on my door,

that it's Adam.

-Hey.
-Oh my God, Travis.

I got you orchids this time.

Oh my God!

Travis brought flowers again,

only this time the ones
that I actually like.

So sweet.

Allyssa has never had people
do those kind

of romantic gestures for her.

[Travis] I'm good.
Today was a little rough.

-But I'm good.
-Why?

Just missing friends.

Yeah.

Travis is the first person
to give me flowers,

but I didn't think about
Travis at all today.

Oh my...

Someone you can trust.

I only thought
about Adam today,

and then Travis
knocked on the door,

and that was the first time
I thought of him today.

Fat and bougie.

Bougie is not always bad.

If you let me, I'll
be the best you ever had.

We never got together.

We can blame that

Let the layers be unwrapped.

Hold together.
Hold forever.

Hold me down.

♪♪

[Taylor]
How you doing tonight, man?

[Quinn] Good, how's it going?

-Not bad.
-How'd it go out there?

So yeah, I know this
may be a little uncomfortable

and a little awkward.

I mean, we haven't talked much.

After today's date, Ashley
obviously doesn't see it

from my point of view,
so I want to like

talk about that with Quinn.

He has a past
relationship with her,

and he knows things and
seen things that I haven't.

I believe she's very hard
headed and stubborn,

and the things she says and
does doesn't make much sense.

The situation at the pool...

It didn't go very well and
it was really embarrassing.

It was super embarrassing.

Just the way
she handled the situation,

the way she won't
really kind of

take a step back
and look at it

from a different perspective
of what's really going on

and kind of her way or
the highway deal.

Like, it just doesn't
work for me,

and you have a past with her,

you know how she acts,
you know how she is

way more than I do.
So I have to hear it from you.

Like, what... is this
how it's always been? Or...

You know, it's... you definitely
hit like, a couple of key points

that I would agree
with you on.

It's weird to talk to Taylor
because he's the other person

who is here for Ashley
and, you know,

I'm kind of feeling a little...
a little uneasy.

If she has something
in her mind

and she thinks it's right,
whether it's right or not,

like she's going to fight you
til the death about it.

So, yeah, she's
a very strong personality.

Hardheaded.

I personally, bro,
I can't do it.

I have more respect for myself
and everyone else around me.

I don't think you deserve it.
I don't think anyone does.

I appreciate you letting me know
and telling me that's how it is.

-That's all I really wanted to know.
-Yeah, for sure.

[Allyssa] I'm glad that Travis
came, but I had to

make that decision for myself.

Last night with Adam
made me feel

the way that I had wanted
to feel coming into this.

And now I think going forward,

I have an even stronger
understanding of what I want.

Hi, honey.

How are you doing?

It's just such a 180 from
seeing you at my prom night.

I've never been good
at break ups.

So this was just something
that I needed to discover,

and that I needed to do
for myself.

[Allyssa]
I think I know what I want.

I think I'm a little bit
closer to finding it.

I just know that this
experience isn't over yet.

So I'm now going in with

maybe a heavier heart, but
a more understanding heart.

[Betty Who] Yeah. And sometimes
you have to have that experience of,

oh, this feels really good.

Like, I feel like you and Adam
had an amazing night last night,

and you had that
feeling of like, "Oh."

This is how a date should feel.

This is how I should
feel on this date.

That's how my kisses
should feel.

[Betty Who] Yeah, I'm proud of you
for doing the hard thing, honey.

Are you ready
to give it another shot?

You mean?

The portal.

You know, I always come
bearing news, honey.

Betty, but you sometimes
come bearing song.

I know, I know,
I'm switching it up.

[Betty Who]
Are you ready to do this?

-Okay.
-Take a second.

Collect your thoughts and
feelings and heart and spirit.

When you're ready, I'll meet
you at the portal, okay?

I'll meet you at the portal.

All right.

Every time Betty walks
in, she's like this

agent of chaos and
just general disarray.

Are you ready
to go to the portal tonight?

[Allyssa] I think that Adam
is a really incredible man,

and there's a spark there.

On the other hand,
there's, you know,

maybe somebody else
that came here for me,

that is a possible
connection that

what if I don't explore it
and regret it

for the rest of my life?

I'm just standing there with
nothing but a wig and a dream,

waiting for somebody
to just give me some magic.

Jeff?

-Oh my God!
-Allyssa.

-What are you doing here?
-What's good with you?

Oh my God, it's
so good to see you.

I met Allyssa in 2015
in my first year of college.

Oh my God, you have no idea
how excited I am to see you.

Oh, you look beautiful.

Thank you. Oh my God.

I know, I haven't seen you
since, like five years ago.

Oh my God. That's right.

I did have a crush on Jeff
freshman year of college.

I just thought that he was
into other girls and not really

trying to holler at me.

Now I finally get
my chance with Jeff.

Back then, you know,
I was just young

and trying to have fun,
but now I'm more focused on

really meeting someone and
finding a real connection.

Yeah. Nothing
but magic happens here.

I feel like Allyssa can be the
person that's right for me.

The thing that attracts me
the most about Allyssa

is definitely
how witty she is

and how beautiful she is.
I'm hyped to catch up with her.

Welcome, by the way.

Thank you.
Thank you. I appreciate it.

-Are you ready to go?
-Let's get to it.

I think
I can find love here.

I've never found love before,

so I'm excited
to see what that looks like.

I'm still really,
really reeling

from that date with Adam,
and now I have Jeff.

This is going
to be interesting.

Tonight, I'm going
on a date with Dylan.

It's our second date.

And I am very, very,
very excited.

I woke up today
and I was like, oh my God,

I get to see Dylan today.

I'm catching feelings.
Yeah.

Tonight, I'm going on

my second day with Kasey,
and I am super excited.

I've been waiting for this
for a long time

and I am very happy
that it's here now.

Dylan!

-Wow.
-Hi.

[Dylan] You look amazing.

[Kasey] Oh my God,
thank you so much.

These are beautiful.

-[Dylan] Nice to see you.
-[Kasey] So amazing to see you.

I've been looking forward
to this date

for a very long time,
it feels like.

As have I.

I'm happy, we're finally
able to do this.

-Yeah.
-Let's go have some dinner.

[Kasey] Oh my God,
this is so beautiful.

-[Dylan] Go ahead and sit right here.
-[Kasey] Thank you.

[Dylan] I will pull this out
for you.

Oh my gosh.
I'm not used to this chivalry.

[Kasey] So how do you feel
about like, us?

You're like one of
the only people left

that have been here
from the beginning.

How does that make you feel?

I mean, it's been hard.

It's not great
living with the person

that you're also dating,
I'm not gonna lie.

Especially because
it's the beginning for us.

-I don't really love that.
-That must be so weird.

It's really weird.

[Dylan] And I don't like it.

[Dylan] Every time I see someone
else going on a date with you,

it just hurts.

And I feel like maybe it is

an indication that I'm like,
starting to fall for you.

-I don't know.
-Stop.

Are you really?

I think so. Yeah.

[Kasey] Oh my God.

I'm not holding back
with Kasey

because she makes me feel like
I don't need to hold back.

She accepts all of me,
and calls me on my stuff.

But just lets me be real
human and a real guy.

And so that's why I'm able
to be the best I can be.

I need you to do
what you need to do.

I'm here. I...

...would like to feel a
little bit more confidence

in what's going forward,
but I do feel like

we're on the same page
in terms of our feelings.

So that's really nice.

So yeah, I...

[Kasey] Yeah, like I, um...

[Kasey] Okay...

So I feel like I am...

[Kasey] Okay.

Yeah, like I...
maybe...

I can't do this.

It's all good.
It's all good.

This girl talks a lot,
but she can't talk right now.

[Kasey] I feel like I'm...

...falling for you too.

I can't
stop thinking about you.

And it makes my like heart like,

jittery and like fluttery and...
the hell like...

I haven't felt this in
like eight to nine years.

[Dylan] Yeah, I haven't felt it
in a really long time.

You know?

It's scary a little bit, too.
All we can do

is just be as honest
and open with each other,

as often as we can.

[Kasey] You know, after such a long
term relationship it's hard

and scary to say that again
to someone,

but I know this journey
is all about letting go,

being open and being honest.

I'm just speechless at

the fact that
he's like, falling for me.

Ooh, what do we have here?

[Dylan] Some sparklers.

I'll give you yours first.

-Oh my God.
-All right.

I actually missed
my July 4th celebration,

so I'm super
excited for this.

Here you go.

Come on.

♪♪

[laughing]

[Dylan] Hold it out.

-[Kasey] Oh, God, yeah.
-[Dylan] Like this.

-[Kasey] This is so cute.
-[Dylan] Alright, give me a kiss.

[Dylan] Oh...

You get to see
my place finally.

I'm excited, yeah,

this looks a little bit
nicer than

-where I stay at, not gonna lie.
-It's gonna be beautiful.

I remember
reflecting how I felt nervous

before seeing him and
that was in my stomach.

But now I feel feelings
in my heart.

And I know that's
closer to what

I've been looking for here.

Like a fairy tale.
Am I in a fairy tale?

The portal has done
nothing but

bring the perfect man to me.

So how do you think
tonight went?

I think tonight
went really well.

We're on the same page.

We're continuing to be open
and honest with each other.

We're continuing to
express how we feel

and it's really nice.

I did not think
that I was going

to open up that fast
to you.

Really?

I'm scared to tell people about
like, my feelings for sure.

-I'm just like, I feel it, but I'm
-It's hard.

-not going to tell you, you know?
-Yeah.

Because then you're going
to judge me or some sh*t.

Yeah. So it was
really like, nice that

like, you said it first,
because I don't know

if I would have been able to.

In this moment,
a special connection

is being formed
between Kasey and I.

And it feels really nice

and it feels
like I want more of it.

Yeah, if you want to...
if you want to stay, you can.

-I would love to.
-Yeah?

-Yeah, awesome. Let's do it.
-I'll be right back.

Sweet.

♪♪

[Ashley] I'm feeling a little torn
about how the date went with Taylor.

Something went wrong in this
date, and I feel like it's

something
that can also be fixed.

It shouldn't end on this note,
so I really need Taylor

to come through,
stop by and, you know,

give this another shot.

[Taylor]
Hey, how are you doing?

The way Ashley was treating
everyone at the pool party

made me uncomfortable and I
didn't know how to go about it,

and I tried to come out with her
the most respectful way possible,

but she still didn't
understand it.

So I kind of just backed off,

just trying to rethink
what's going on.

I can't just sit there
and defend her

the whole time
when she was in the wrong.

How do you feel?

Not too good.

Honestly,
not too good at all.

I'm just going to kind of
get right to the point.

I didn't... I didn't know
how to go about it because

like I, and I wanted to tell you
on the date,

I just didn't know
how to say it,

but like, I was felt so
embarrassed and

I didn't know what to say
because I am...

I want to have your back
the entire time.

I truly did.

But like, the way you
were acting towards

everyone I've lived
with for the past week,

and honestly,
just everyone in general,

I just... I can't do that.

The way you acted was insane.

I was embarrassed.
I was embarrassed for you.

I was embarrassed for myself.

I didn't think you were
as stubborn,

as stubborn and hardheaded
as you are.

I was at shock.
I was...

I didn't know what to say,
so I didn't say much

and it was hard for me

and I almost didn't know what
the second date

was going to entail.

But I thought
I'd give you another chance

and maybe possibly see it.

But even when we sat
down at the date,

when I tried to put any type
of different perspective

or a different view on it,
you kind of like cut me off.

It was kind of like
a wall that went up.

No, that's fair.

I, um, you know,

I invited you over here because
I actually wanted to apologize.

And you know, I do see myself
falling into old habits

and I think you're
a great person.

And, you know, I kind of
wanted to take this step

to be the bigger person
and apologize.

Everything that's happened
from the pool party

up until our second date,

which it was going great

until we sat down
and had the conversation.

I wanted to be more open
about it there,

but obviously I wasn't
going to get anywhere there.

And I didn't... I didn't know I
was like, maybe it was me.

So I went back to the house
and I talked to Quinn...

...because he knows
you better than anyone.

-You guys...
-Yeah, he does.

Quinn's a great guy,
awesome guy.

And I sat down with him.

I asked him, like,
listen, I don't know.

And this may be uncomfortable
for you, Quinn.

But like, what's your and
Ashley's past?

Because with me,
it just seemed like

she was being way too
stubborn and hardheaded.

And maybe... maybe it was me.

But he agreed
with everything I said.

So I just had to come here
and tell you, like,

with all due respect,
it's not for me

and I'm going to have
to walk away.

That's fair.

I wasn't...
I wasn't expecting that.

You know, it was kind of a leap
for me to try to apologize.

And just like start off
on a new foot,

it seemed like a pretty
minimal argument that we had

and it just really
caught me off guard.

All right. Well,
that's all I have to say.

Okay.

[Ashley] I... I...

For what it's worth,
like, I really... like I am sorry,

and I do wish you
the best of luck and...

[Taylor] I do too. I really do, too.

...I wish that we could have...
a more conversation.

-[Taylor] It's okay.
-[Ashley] Okay.

-Have a good night.
-You, too.

[Taylor] Bye.

[Ashley] I look f*cking stupid.

I feel like an as*h*le
right now.

That was embarrassing.

Taylor's not that nice
guy that I thought.

I didn't expect that.

A lot of this has been
about growth for me,

and it was kind of a leap

for me to pull him aside,
try to apologize.

That was not cool.

It's just a lot.

♪♪

[Taylor] I feel so much better.

I came here expecting to make
a connection with someone,

and I found the exact
opposite of that

because Ashley
doesn't realize

that she might not
always be right,

and that you need
to look at it

from other people's
perspective.

You can't have that
in a relationship.

You have to meet people
in the middle.

Ashley's only capable of dating
the right kind of people,

the kind of people that do

whatever she says,
whenever she wants.

And just kind of
bend the knee a little bit.

[Vince] The portal has really
brought people from my life

that have represented
different stages.

With Yurika, it was
like catching up

like from high school memories
and high school dates.

Yurika.
May I have this dance?

Okay.

[Vince] It feels like, you know,
we're back in high school

and we're just
like, going to senior prom.

But this time she's my date.

My heart's beating so fast.

Good.

[Vince] But with Isabel, she doesn't
know high school Vince.

She doesn't know all
the history that comes

with who I am now.

But at the same time,
I can realistically

see her being integrated
into my life seamlessly.

[Isabel] Getting back into the
dating life has taken a while,

but I feel like I'm there.
What about you?

Yeah, for me,
I'm definitely looking

for something long term.

I feel like we're looking.
For the same things.

-Yeah
-This feels right.

[Vince] So it's hard for me to really,
like, differentiate my feelings.

I can't even think about
sending anybody

back to the portal
right now.

It's definitely something
I think

I'm going to need to sleep on.

[Betty Who] It's me!

[Jeff] Look who it is.

-It's your girl!
-Welcome!

-Hi, Honey.
-How are you?

-How are you doing?
-Come on in.

Thanks.

-Would love to!
-Take a seat.

Sure. I will!

-Love the outfit.
-Thanks!

-Extra edgy, today.
-Oh my God. Wow.

-Here we are.
-Thanks.

I came to check on you,
my friend, my sweet friend.

We had a whole moment last
night, do you know what I mean?

We had a long moment.

[Betty Who]
Oh, honey, oh honey.

Happy it happened.

I feel like I did
what I needed to do.

Happy that like, I feel like
that was the first time

the portal brought me something
that was, like,

really intense.

You got super emotional.

[sobs]

Coming off of
like what I came from

and then all of a sudden

your best friend
walks through.

-Yeah, it was...
-Sure.

[Betty Who] Sure thing.

I obviously have known Claude,
Micah, Anthony,

and it was fun getting
to explore that option.

But I would say
Alex is currently

my most serious option
that's kind of like,

whoa, like, you need to
grow up and figure this out.

Are you feeling today
like you're happy you stayed?

Yeah, I feel like after
today, I'm like, happy. So...

That's what I really
want to hear.

-That's good news, I'm so happy.
-This is great news.

Yes, the portal worked.
Finally.

-What a full circle.
-Yeah.

-We have an arrival.
-Right now?

[laughing]

There is a very handsome
man waiting for you...

...at the portal.

[Jeff] The thought of
like, another guy coming in,

I'm like, is this going to end
up getting more intense now?

Like, what's about to happen?

And I have no idea
what to expect.

I'll see you over there.

-Sounds good.
-Okay.

-Thank you.
-Love you. See you later.

[Jeff] I think the scary thing is,
Alex is my best friend,

so the thought of
this getting messy

and potentially losing
my best friend

would obviously really suck.

Are you kidding me?

[Jeff] I can't believe
it's one of my good friends,

Mark, who I think
we've always had this like...

...sexual energy,

and we just never have
explored that option.

I was going to say,
long time no see.

[Mark] I met Jeff around 2018.

My friend group
and his friend group

started like intermingling.

I think that the only reason
why nothing has happened

was because I didn't want
to like rock the boat with

our friendship.

You know, there's
something that I do want

to get off my
chest that like,

every time we hang out

like and what have we known
each other for, like two,

-three years now?
-Yeah.

Like, you have such a great
like presence and energy,

and I feel like
we've always connected.

I love that
we're friends and like,

we have a great friendship.

We have a great friend
group and...

It's bad.

-It's... it's a little chaotic.
-It's messy.

A little messy group,
you know, messy boots.

But that's okay.

I'm really ready to like, maybe
take it to the next level.

Like, see what can happen.

Sounds scary, Mark.

It sounds a little scary,
but I'm down.

Well, welcome.

[Jeff] Let me give you the tour.

[Mark] Allrighty.

[Jeff] Alex and Mark
are great friends.

And now Mark is here
like, of all people.

So I think
it's going to make

for a really intense journey

and we're going to see how
it goes.

[Ashley] Taylor did me like
the biggest favor tonight,

the way he acted...
that took me back like,

that was not...
that was not cool.

I need someone kind.

I need somebody
compassionate.

Like, I had an epiphany
and it just made me realize,

open your stupid eyes, Ashley,
like, open your f*cking eyes.

I don't care what else
the portal has to offer.

I know Taylor and Quinn
talked with each other.

My mind is set.
I'm ready to leave here.

-Hey.
-Hello.

I need to speak to Quinn.

-[Alex] What?
-[Vinny] What?

On the next episode
of "The One That Got Away."

Today has been a very weird day.

[Adam] Having Ashley come in
and take Quinn out...

I didn't know
what was going on.

I feel like at this point,
I don't know why I'm surprised.

[Dezi] She's not a threat to me.

[Mark] Oh, okay.

I don't really
care about Alicia.

I'm concerned about
how Nigel makes me feel.

That's it.

I think it would be fun

to like see
what could happen.

He escalates me.

Maybe to a point I was not
mentally prepared for.

[Kasey] Dylan, can we talk?

What I thought was the most
beautiful romantic night

ended up where all of
those feelings were fake.

I'm not f*cking stupid.

This is like, coming out
of nowhere.

Stop lying to me.
