01x11 - Back in the Mix

Post by bunniefuu »

-[Chloe] Can we speak in the morning?
-Why?

Because I wanna go to bed.

So no talk?

No, I've just... We've had a talk.

I just wanna talk about it in the morning.

I'm sorry.

Yeah.

I don't wanna talk about it
in the morning.

-You don't wanna talk in the morning?
-[Shayne] No.

So f*cking pathetic.

[tense music playing]

[footsteps]

[Dom] We're not here.

[Shayne] I'm leaving, by the way,
so I'm gonna grab my stuff.

-[Georgia] What are you doing?
-I think I'm leaving.

What?

[Shayne sighs]

What the f*ck are you talking about?

-I'm just grabbing my stuff.
-Shayne?

[Shayne] No, honestly,
I can't get over what happened.

How could she celebrate 15 minutes
after she ditched me with her ex-boyfriend

and jumped in the pool, splashed me,
and laughed about the situation?

She forgot about me that quickly
and jumped in the pool, like, had fun?

-[Georgia] Come sit for a bit.
-[Dom] Just talk about it.

I've never seen
this side of Shayne before.

[Chloe] What is going on right now?

What triggered it? I don't understand.

We need to talk about that.
I want to have fun with her.

Shayne, what is wrong with you?
What is wrong with you?

Why are you acting like this?

[Chloe] And you can't let it go.

-You're here, he's not.
-I'm just trying to express how I feel.

You've told me a thousand times tonight
how I made you feel.

It was even more embarrassing

than when someone
stood you up at the altar.

That's not fair.

It's not fair?

You felt the need to pull me aside
and to say to me, "You're a sh*t person."

Knowing you broke my heart,
you jumped in the pool and celebrated.

-I heard you laughing.
-Am I not allowed to laugh?

Like, I'm sorry.
I apologize I acted the way I did.

But that's what I'm saying.
You f*cking move on from it or you don't.

Don't get in your head about things.
It's not like that.

[Chloe] Oh my God, grow up.

[Georgia] You guys stay in here and speak.
I'll go speak to Chloe.

You stay here. Chloe, are you all right?

-I don't understand what's going on.
-He walked in and was getting his stuff.

He's like, "I'm probably gonna leave."
And we were like, "What?"

[Dom] She obviously f*cking cares
about you. You know she cares.

I know! Think about it.

If she's that way
with two people that quickly?

Then what?

You were with two people before her!

-That's the whole thing of this.
-I didn't leave her for someone else.

Okay, think about how Ines feels.

You were with Ines,
and you f*cking bounced on her.

Put it behind you and accept what happened
and carry on with Chloe,

or don't do that and f*cking leave.

-Exactly.
-So I'm telling you think about it first.

-But you have to make the decision.
-I will think about it. Yes.

[Chloe] I wanna sleep with you and Dom.
I'm not arguing all night.

Let him have his space, then.
That's a good idea.

Tomorrow we can clear the air.

[Chloe] I just don't want it to escalate
'cause if it does, this is a red flag,

and I'm not doing it.

["Gone" by NOA playing]

♪ Shoulda known it would go wrong ♪

♪ It's ancient history ♪

♪ This love don't exist to me ♪

[Francesca] Good morning!

-[kissing]
-[Damian chuckles]

[Damian] That's how I like
to be woken up. Yeah!

[Francesca giggles]

[giggles] Give him.

Why?

'Cause he's mine.

I wanna love on him.

[Bartise] Give me a kiss.

I'm not trying to make
an OnlyFans over here, I'm sorry.

I'm a good girl, you know?

[Bartise chuckling]

-No. [giggles]
-[Bartise] No?

Big-a*s camera in the room. No!

Calm it down.

They're like, "How can we set this up
so people can do body shots?"

They were joking, but I think
we should actually set that up.

-[Nick] You're so cool.
-I know.

[laughing]

[Chloe] I'm sorry I had to
split you and Dom up last night.

I owe you and Dom
for letting me sleep in your bed.

Honestly, anytime.

Oh my God.

If I was in that situation,
you would have done the same.

Yeah, I would.

After staying in the bed
with Georgia last night,

so sad waking up
in the morning without Shayne.

I was so adamant
that Shayne was my perfect match,

and after last night unfolded,
I don't know anymore.

And now I'm scared

because I don't know what's gonna happen
with me and Shayne after this.

I would never speak ill of someone...

You would never do that.

...that I cared about so much.

I feel like sometimes he kicks off
because he wants attention.

He doesn't, like...

[chuckles] So f*cking awkward.

Shayne, can we talk?

[Shayne] I regret the way
I handled the fight.

It's just the feelings I have for her
are so strong, and...

[sighs] ...it was so fresh
with her and Mitchell,

and then, of course, it's still fresh
with me getting left at the altar.

I got scared.
That's how it was. It was all my fault.

-Go on, then.
-"Go on"? [laughs]

Say what you gotta say.

Well, first of all, I apologize.

Thank you.

I'm very sorry
for the way I handled... everything.

You know, obviously,
my last year was kind of tough.

Getting left at the altar,

and then, no offense,
what happened with the Mitchell situation.

So, I'm just...
I'm really afraid and, like,

you know, I got heartbroken,
like, let down...

I understand that.

...and I got really scared when it happened

because the feelings for you
are very strong.

-Yeah.
-It was very obvious.

If I didn't care, I wouldn't have reacted.

Yeah, I know. I see that.

I shouldn't have reacted that way.

I wish I would have handled it better,
but that's just why I did what I did.

I know it's a hard situation
that you're going through,

and I feel like everyone
in this house has had the time

to experience different relationships

to kind of find out
who their perfect match is.

I was put in a situation
that was really tough,

and it was the hardest decision
I've ever had to make

between you and my ex-boyfriend.

So I feel like
we've spoke about it a few times,

and the last thing I wanna do
is tread on eggshells around you.

-Never, that's the last thing I want.
-To think, "Has he forgiven me or not?"

I just freaked out.

I'm sorry for the way
I handled the situation.

Thank you.

I just want you to know
that you can trust me,

and, you know, I got your back.

All I wanted was an apology,
and you've given me that, so...

I owe you more than an apology.

Me being with Mitchell made us stronger.

I couldn't stop thinking about you
when I was with him.

-I can't deny my feelings for you.
-Mm-hmm.

Like, I am still falling in love with you.
I can't just switch my feelings off.

This experience, in a couple days,
it's all coming to an end,

and with Chloe, it's like I've never
had a connection like this in my life.

I mean, I was self-sabotaging.

I was basically trying to end it
before she could end us.

I didn't wanna get hurt again.
I thought I'd take it into my own hands.

That's one thing I need to work on.

I think we're in a much better place.
We just can't give up on this.

I will do whatever it takes
to make it work.

-You make me very happy though.
-You make me really happy.

[Shayne] Nice and sweaty. I love it.
Give me those lips.

No!

[both laughing]

-[Joey] Where's Francesca?
-[Damian] Pool.

[Joey] You and Francesca
seem to be in a good place.

[Damian] I'm really happy.

-That's great.
-I like her a lot, man.

And she's doing all these things
behind closed doors too.

I was walking out of the room.
She was like, "Can you help me with this?"

I was like, "Yeah."
She comes and kisses me.

-[Joey] Ooh.
-[Damian] And those are just like...

-[Joey] The little things.
-Yeah.

In my head a lot still,
but our dates are great.

Connection's real.
I feel there can be more here.

I want it to be real outside of this.
It could be a marriage.

[Joey] Right.

Have you talked to her about how you feel?

Um... no.

We've discussed it and she's just like,
"I like you a lot. I'm really happy."

"I wouldn't wanna be here
with anybody else."

It's good, and she has opportunities
to date other people

and be with other people and she hasn't.

-Yeah! She wants you. Yeah.
-Yeah.

I love Damian. This kid's got
the biggest heart in the world,

and he is crazy about Francesca,
and I think she likes him a lot more now.

If they say they see a future
with each other, I'm down for this.

[Damian] I wanna take her
on a nice date before I leave here.

I know she's got a lot
she's gotta go back to.

I wanna give her
one last great night here.

That's great. We like that.

Yeah.

[uplifting dance music playing]

What's up? Grab a seat, grab a seat.

-[Joey] What are we doing today?
-You guys look great!

[Francesca]
I have no idea what's gonna happen.

I think since we're nearing
the end of this experience,

the vibe in the house is people trying to
solidify things with their existing match.

But how do you really know

if you're a super solid
perfect match or not?

[chuckling] Nick Lachey comes in,

and that means one thing
and one thing only.

There's gonna be a little plot twist.

Aren't you guys dying to hear
what I have to say today?

-You have no idea!
-[Lachey chuckles]

Well, looking at these six couples,
it is very obvious to me.

There are some strong, strong
romantic connections happening here,

but the question is,
have you found your perfect match?

So, guys, today, we've invited
some familiar faces to come and join us.

Everybody, come on in!

-[screaming]
-Oh my God!

-No.
-[Lachey] Come on down!

[Izzy] I am back, guys.

I'm ready to stir some things up.

[cheering]

♪ This situation is so familiar ♪

♪ I see real ♪

My plan for tonight is to cause havoc.

I'm coming in with one mindset
and one mindset alone.

It's "I am doing
and talking to whoever I want."

Like, I have no boundaries.

[contestants howling]

Everybody, buckle up
because Savannah is back, baby.

If you talk to Savannah, I'll k*ll you.

[cheering]

-[cheering]
-[Kariselle] Are you kidding?!

Hey, guys!
What up, what up, what up, baby?

Oh my God.

[Mitchell] What up?

Yeah, we're shutting it down, y'all!

Shutting it down!

What the f*ck?

Oh God. Now things
just got a little bit intense.

This is literally
the last thing that I wanted.

[Lachey] First of all,
to all the singles, welcome back.

You all were asked to come here
for a chance to find love.

Your perfect match.

As you all know, our time here
together is coming to an end.

This is it. It's your last chance
to lay your cards on the table.

To say anything you want to say.

It's your chance
to maybe start a new connection

or possibly rekindle an old one.

To ultimately have a shot
at leaving here with your perfect match.

Now, as we all know,
there are six suites here at the villa

and right now,
six couples occupying those suites.

-Hell yeah. [chuckles]
-[Nick] Woo!

Anyone left without a partner
at the end of the night

will have to leave here... alone.

Tonight could be
the biggest test of your relationship

or the biggest validation.

Anything can happen.

[Joey] These people come in looking fresh,
and let me tell you what I know,

they're coming in to test
every single one of our relationships,

as they should.

Some of these relationships
are a little rocky right now.

Some would say
a little bit more than rocky.

And these people are looking real good.

So I think today's mixer
is gonna be a little bit fiery

if I was gonna make a prediction.

[Lachey] Anyone in a couple tonight

will wake up tomorrow
with a massive decision to make.

Each member of each couple
will have to decide

if you've found someone
you can see a real future with,

or you'll break up
and go your separate ways.

At the end of the day tomorrow,
we will all gather again

to cast your vote
for who you think is the Perfect Match.

Wow.

Guys, good luck.
And here's to love. Let's get it.

[cheering]

[whooping]

What's up? How we doing, boys?

Party!

-You're not allowed to talk to anyone.
-We have to talk to everyone.

We have to.

And you have to.

I trust you. You trust me.

-[Izzy] How are you and Joey?
-[Kariselle] We're boyfriend & girlfriend.

[Izzy] In the house, I was like,
"They're toxic."

[Kariselle] When you were here,
we were so dysfunctional.

I might be an as*h*le, but I'm loyal.

How is everything?

Everything is good right now.
I'm with Abbey.

[Izzy] Have you got a drink?

-[Izzy] Looks like you're shotting.
-I'm shotting. Absolutely.

I haven't had an easy ride in here.

I got turned down by Bartise,
but I feel like we definitely vibe.

We get on so well, and I feel like
we've got unfinished business.

Shall we cheers?

-I thought you'd done it.
-I'm doing it right now.

I didn't think
I'd be cheersing with you two.

Did you have fun while you were here?

-Now it's a party.
-I had fun until he came along.

-That's a good one!
-Oh! Wow.

[Chloe] Everyone's gotta mingle.

-[Shayne] You're not gonna mingle?
-I'm not mingling.

-No?
-No, I don't want to.

[Chloe] I don't want to mingle.

-Shall we just be like...?
-I'll be like this.

-I'm like this.
-No, I'm kidding!

[Shayne] I learned,
after last night's argument with Chloe,

like, you know, I just have to trust her.

If I don't trust her,
then there's gonna be a problem.

[Georgia] No, no...

Stay away! Get away from me!

[Shayne] Sorry, Mitchell,
but I'm not frecking worried.

Ferkin', freckin, whatever,
I don't know, it's not a word.

I don't care what it is. Homeboy, no.

[Zay] We taking shots over here or what?

-What's up, girl?
-Hey.

-How you doing?
-[Francesca] Good. You?

I'm good. Everything is crazy though.

[Chloe] There's been a few switcheroos.

Anybody else wants a tequila shot with us?

I could talk to Damian.

[Savannah] I don't really know
too much about Damian.

I know he's currently matched
with Francesca at this point.

But I see his wandering eyes.

He may be sitting next to Francesca,
but he's looking at me.

Fran, you gotta do the speech.

[Francesca] Cheers to everyone
ignoring Savannah tonight.

-Ohhh!
-[Dom] Okay.

I can tell that just my mere presence
made Francesca uncomfortable.

I think it's funny how I threaten her
when I just sit there and exist.

-[Damian] How's it going, ladies?
-[Anne-Sophie] How are you?

[Damian] Doing wonderful, actually.

[Anne-Sophie]
How's your adventure in this house been?

[Damian] No, it's... it's been a ride.

I think that brings out
a lot of different sides of everybody.

[Anne-Sophie] It does, it does.

[Savannah] Mm. Do you think
your sh*t is being tested?

My sh*t's being tested every day.

[Anne-Sophie] This house is stressful,
so you can tell us the truth.

-[Savannah] Yeah.
-I thrive in stressful situations.

-[Anne-Sophie] You do?
-Yeah.

Me and Diamond had a twerk-off.

-[Anne-Sophie] You had a twerk-off?
-Yeah.

I heard everybody done seen your butt.

[Savannah] Damian,
I need to see how white your a*s is.

-For science, can I see your a*s cheeks?
-[Anne-Sophie] Whenever you have a moment.

Yeah. Okay.

[Savannah] We would love
to see your a*s cheeks.

[Damian] They're not that white,
but built well.

-Do you work out?
-Yeah.

Oh, nice.

[Savannah chuckles]

-[Damian] That's a good fit. I like it.
-[Savannah] Thank you.

[Anne-Sophie] I know you guys were
platonic before, so coming to the house,

is that how you started
seeing her as more than a friend?

Who? Francesca?

-Yeah, on our date.
-[Savannah] Crazy. She told me I was weird

for trying to date a friend that I had.

She came at me sideways.
She tried to be harsh,

but her words were
neither impressing nor insulting.

[Damian] Yeah.

So, going into tonight,
where is your mind at?

-[Savannah] Yeah.
-Francesca. That's the thing.

If we're meant to be,
we'll end up together.

-[Anne-Sophie] Yeah.
-Exactly.

All these singles are coming back
that seem familiar, that I've met before,

but there's one or two I haven't met.

I haven't met Anne-Sophie, Savannah.

But even though everyone looks beautiful,
I know I still want Francesca.

Oh my God, Savannah's talking to Damian.

[Kariselle] Oh my God.

Don't disrespect me like that,
you piece of sh*t.

[laughs]

Savannah comes and tries to swoop in.
Like, what are you doing?

You're embarrassing. Go away.
Go home. Stop flirting with him.

He doesn't want you.

It's just pissing me off.

How's love in paradise?

It's amazing. I love it here.

Do you?

She's pissing me off.

You wanna talk?

Yeah, let's go talk.

[Will] Come here, you little demon.

[Francesca] We're gonna hide...

[Will] Wait till there are no cameras.
Like, f*ck, you look good as sh*t.

Can't get me saying nothing on camera.

-What's your deal with Savannah?
-I have beef with her.

Oh my God. Queen bee.

Yeah, I definitely knew
I needed to talk to you.

-'Cause I missed you.
-You did?

-Something about that energy.
-I missed your energy too.

Did you ever openly
make it more well known

if you were interested in me like that?

You saw me looking?

A lot of people look at me.

You saw me "looking" looking.

I know you did.

I even said something.

I said, "Unless I'm crazy,
she's eye-f*cking me a lot."

I was.

[playful music]

I wish that didn't turn me on,

but it does.

I made a mistake
when I first got in the house.

I was too analytical instead of
truthfully going with what I feel.

'Cause you know what I thought?

I'm like, "No way she's that f*cking dope,

that intelligent, that understanding,

that insightful, and looks like that."

"Bullshit. She's just super manipulative."

People think that about me.

But that's the number one mistake I made.

And the more and more I got to know you,

the more and more I got
to understand your personality,

everything about you, I'm like, "No way."

"Damian doesn't know her at all."

I want you to look me in the face

and say you even feel 75%
about that relationship.

I made a promise to the relationship

to give it a full go before we cut it off.

But does that ultimately make you happy?
Is that the type of relationship you want?

Yeah.

Hmm.

[Will] Francesca and Damian.

I've never believed
that was a perfect match.

I respect Francesca's pursuit
to see it through in a relationship.

But, like, damn.

I don't get it.

-Go talk.
-[Will] I don't wanna...

-Yes.
-[Abbey] We have a long night.

-[Will] Now I have you.
-Yeah.

-[WIll] Can you make me feel cute?
-[Abbey] I won't.

[Will] Can we go to these
cute, adorable little hammocks?

[Abbey] Absolutely!

Francesca is obviously
my personal fan favorite,

but math is not gonna line up.

So, you know me, I'm a thinker,
and I have to find a perfect match.

So it really comes down to Abbey,
and it's that simple.

When you first showed up with Francesca,
you wouldn't stop talking about her.

-Oh my God, listen.
-No...

Okay. Can I explain myself?

When it comes to Francesca,
I had a crush on her already.

Like, going into this.

I was like, "Oh my God, that's Francesca."
I was just on top of the world.

It's like as if I...

[Will] You deserve to feel
on top of the world with somebody.

If you don't feel it with somebody,
you don't wanna be the one who's...

When we get out of here, everyone's like,
"We knew that wasn't gonna work."

I know. I'm not saying
Bartise doesn't make me feel good.

He does. Definitely. To me...

Well, feeling good is cool.
So does sushi sometimes.

[Abbey] Oh my God!
William, you are such an instigator!

-[cackles]
-[Abbey] Jesus Christ! You're here like...

Cool, you wanna make out?
No, I'm kidding. A little.

Ahh!

[Abbey] I think everyone's kind of
playing a game tonight.

I mean, I respect it. I respect the move.

You know, plant some doubts. Get in there.

I went into this night wanting
to match with Bartise at the end of it.

So I'm kind of... swerving everyone.

What do you like?

I like guys that work out.
I like guys that can dress, like...

There's a house full of them here.

I just go after guys
that look different, sorry. [giggles]

So you were in the house
when I had already left.

Matched with Izzy the first night.
Chose Ines the second.

She matched with Will.
So I got out of the house.

Then I came back in
on a blind date with Diamond

and ended up matching with Abbey,
and me and Abbey have been though it too.

Damn, that's a lot of people
you've ran through.

-No, I didn't run. "Ran through"?
-No, I know.

Do you think Abbey's gonna leave you...?

No, me and Abbey...
I'm not worried about Abbey.

-No, I think we're solid.
-Okay.

-That's good.
-[Bartise] Yeah.

Savannah does seem interested in me,
and she looks good.

But Abbey is who I'm interested in,
and I'm happy with where I'm at.

[laid-back music playing]

♪ There's nothing that
Can scare you anymore ♪


Where do you wanna go?

Um, I was just sitting there.

Even though I'm matched with LC
and things are going well,

still in the back of my mind is Francesca.

I tried to match with her on day one.

We had a phenomenal conversation.
It was flirty, fun, exciting.

And I don't wanna have any regrets,
so it's still in the back of my mind.

Like, "Should you really try this out?
You never had a chance."

That's why I'm torn between her and LC.

How you doing? Long time no talk.

-[Francesca] Just hanging out. Yeah.
-How are you and Damian?

[Francesca] Um...
You tell me, where's your head at first.

[Nick] I appreciate
that you're with Damian,

but you're also on my mind too.

I tried to match with you day one,

but at least from my point of view,
I felt like we did click a bit.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't wonder

what would have happened
if we had matched that night.

We never got to explore it.

It's hard because Damian and I
are in a good space right now, so...

-Obviously, if you're, like, super solid...
-Hi, baby girl.

...then, whatever. Hey, Izzy.

-Hey, how you doing?
-Good.

[Francesca] I feel like a lot of people
are pursuing me tonight,

but I think Damian's definitely my match,

and we're not interested
in getting to know anyone else.

So... sorry.

We will continue this.

-Have fun.
-Okay.

Izzy enters and that's that.
The conversation is done.

I felt like Francesca
was giving me some flirty eyes.

Maybe it was wishful thinking,
I don't know, but gonna move on.

-What's up? How you doing?
-Yeah. No, I mean...

Obviously, my head's all over the place.

[chuckling] Yeah. Same.

I wanna see
how the situation was with you.

-We've obviously tried it.
-Yeah.

I wanted to see
if there was still that thing there.

[Nick] I'm definitely mainly
between Francesca and LC.

I'm not in that.

The timing.

-Fine.
-Yeah.

You matched with Bartise instead of me.

Yeah, and I also wanna put it out there
that I'm sorry about that situation.

Genuinely, I would
never have wanted you to leave.

I forgive you.

-Thanks!
-[chuckles]

Every conversation I've had with Izzy
has been very honest and upfront,

which I really like about her,

but in my point of view,
we've already been there, done that.

Maybe the timing wasn't right for that,

but I don't wanna reopen
that can of worms.

But it's like, right now,
I've barely gotten to know LC,

so now is sort of the time
that I'm still keeping options open.

Who knows what's gonna happen?

You're putting all your eggs
into Bartise's basket.

What happens if he goes...?

Well, sh*t. I don't know.

-There no one else you're interested in?
-Um, no.

-[Izzy] Shall we have a chat?
-Have a chat.

Have a chat.

-[Nick] Who's he talking to now?
-[Abbey] Izzy.

You just gonna let that
keep running on and on, or you wanna...?

Yes! It's fine.

I think, honestly, me trying
to interfere at all is a really bad sign.

I think we're solid, but, like, you know...

it's a weird evening, so I don't know.

I saw you with Abbey, and I've been told
by multiple people that it's very fresh.

[Bartise] It's very fresh, yeah.

And you're gonna, like,
do the girlfriend and boyfriend thing.

Ah. It feels strong,
it feels comfortable, and it feels fun.

-Comfortable?
-[suspenseful music playing]

-You don't like that word?
-We love comfortable, don't we?

When it's so fresh, it's...
Comfortable is, like, a must.

Yeah, but it clearly isn't between...

The situation with me and you,
comfort wasn't a must.

I am excited to see Bartise.

I feel like we've got
some unfinished business.

We got on really well
as soon as we met each other.

We had a good connection.

I showed him how I felt,
and he completely blindsided me,

and I want him to know
it was a big mistake.

Do you know what is toxic?

Someone making out to you,
like, "We're in this together,"

and then not picking you.

How did you feel walking in?

Were you like,
"I need to talk to that guy"?

I genuinely thought
me and you had a thing.

So it kind of upset me a little bit
'cause our chats that we had...

[Bartise] Yeah, it was real.

...I thought were genuine.

-[Bartise] They were.
-It was all fake, like...

Fake?!

I did think of you
during my, like, downtime.

I was like, "Did I put her through that?"

"Is she fuming at me right now?
How is she feeling?"

-I kissed you that night.
-Yeah.

I was like, "This is it.
We're gonna see what happens."

"We're gonna genuinely, like..."

-And then I just zapped it.
-You just went, "Nope."

Right, so I destroyed your mindset
of thinking that we'd be good together.

No, otherwise I wouldn't be sat here now.

-Yeah? Oh no.
-[laughs]

You would know if I was done.

What do you feel about it?

-[scoffs]
-After me saying all this?

[scoffs, laughs]

I don't know how I feel now.

[poignant music playing]

Me and Izzy are communicating like crazy

through this difficult conversation
that I have been dreading to have.

I was prepared for her
to come in here just, like, g*ns blazing.

Like, "Screw you, Bartise,
don't wanna talk to you."

But, no, she's understanding.
She's being very mature,

and I'm very attracted to her.

So... [laughs] ...she's making it tough.

She's making it really, really tough.

My mind's more open now.
I don't know how I feel right now.

-[Bartise laughs]
-[chuckles uncertainly]

[Diamond] I'm coming to you
as a friend. Okay?

Not as someone trying
to get with you right now.

Francesca. Is it physical?

Or is it really something
you emotionally connect with?

[Damian] I'm emotionally
connected with her.

Do you think she is too?

My relationship with Francesca
is already better than with Giannina.

I think you love her.
You're always watching for her.

You're looking now.

Who else over there?
Oh, there's Francesca.

I'm gonna have a deep talk with Francesca.

Yeah, your face is red right now.

I am looking forward to experiencing
life outside of here with Francesca.

A girl like her deserves
to have a special moment.

Here it is. Tonight's the night.
It's time to take that next step.

-I love you.
-I love you too.

Hook me up with somebody who's single.

-How you living?
-How am I living?

-[Chase] Yeah. Good?
-Yeah.

I feel like I'm in detention
or something right now.

[chuckles]
This is the after-school special.

-[Francesca] Yeah.
-I'm actually your social studies teacher.

[Francesca] The principal?

-You've been a very bad girl, Francesca.
-Am I in trouble?

Last time I was in here, I missed.

I over-calculated on a couple of things,
but I call bullshit when I see bullshit.

Francesca and Damian's relationship,
what a joke!

I'll do what I've always done
and test the relationship.

Seen a lot of changes
since my last time here.

So, just trying to get caught up on...

What was your last day here?
What happened?

It was the day you broke up with Dom.

-Yeah, when Georgia picked Dom, right?
-Mm-hmm.

Oh yeah, I matched with Damian.
Georgia matched with Dom.

I matched with Abbey,
and then I matched with Damian again.

Now Abbey's with Bartise.

-Talk about a roller coaster.
-Yeah.

-You were with Abbey for a while?
-Yeah, for a few days.

How was that?

It was good,
but she got upset that I kissed Kariselle.

[exhales] Whoa, okay, what?

Yeah, I guess that was
a dealbreaker for her.

Hmm. And you're with Damian?

Mm-hmm. Back with Damian.

I don't know how to say this,
but you just don't strike me as the type.

-The type to what?
-[laughs]

To date somebody like that.

He's amazing.

Yeah? [chuckles]

I'd be lying to you if I wasn't saying,
"We could be a perfect match."

Me and you?

Yeah, of course. Like...

-[chuckles]
-I never know what you're up to, so...

I know.

Regardless of what happens,
we all come back here,

and we vote on this thing
and whoever the hell wins.

I'd just really hate to see somebody
who's not a match win this thing.

You know?

Yeah, I mean, I definitely have
a lot I need to figure out tonight.

I would never settle. Ever.

[Chase] I think the real villain
is definitely Francesca.

She has a way of charming people

to get them to do
whatever it is that she wants.

Maybe you went too far,

especially 'cause I know Frankie
and I know her type.

I just... I don't see it.

Speaking of the devil.

Hate to interrupt you,

but if I can borrow Francesca
for a few moments?

Yeah, I'm actually heading over there.
[laughs]

I'm just kidding. I'm wrong. I'm wrong.

You guys might be in love.
Maybe I don't know everything.

[Francesca, chuckling] Odd timing.

-Bad timing?
-It was odd timing.

I was like, "I need to talk to Damian,"
and then you walked up.

Mine and Francesca's relationship's
been tested in more ways

than it needs to be,

but we're still back together.

-[Francesca] Where are you taking me?
-Somewhere.

[Damian] She's giving me really
just good, solid relationship vibes.

I'm secure with where her and I are at.

This is it.

A big part of falling for somebody
is giving them all of you.

-It's been a crazy night, huh?
-[Francesca] Yeah. It's been crazy.

-[Colony] Is this them matching or what?
-[Joey] Yeah.

What is this?

♪ I feel new ♪

♪ I feel new when I'm with you ♪

-I just wanna have a few minutes with you.
-Okay.

♪ I feel brand-new when I'm with you ♪

[Damian] Um...

I wanted a few minutes to talk to you.
I've been processing a lot of things, um...

We've been challenged a lot through
a lot of, like, difficult up and downs.

I feel like our energy's
super great together,

like we really pull out
the best in each other,

even in the hardest times.

And it still reassures me
that at the end of the day it's you.

And tonight, I wanted
to ask you to be my girlfriend.

[tense music playing]

[whispering] Come sit.

I've been thinking about this a lot,
to be honest.

About us.

[voice breaks]
Like, there's no one else here for me.

I know that there's not.

And I didn't wanna
leave this house... [sniffles]

...with anyone that I wasn't 100% certain on

because leaving here in a relationship
is so risky to me,

and I don't wanna do it
unless I'm 100% certain.

But... [sniffles]

...I don't know if we would work
outside of this house. [sniffles]

[tense music playing]

[sniffles]

I already, like, wanted
to commit to you outside of this.

Yeah, but why?
What do you even like about me?

What don't I like?

You like that I'm attractive,

but we were so bad
in that compatibility challenge.

[sniffles]

We don't sit down and have
in-depth conversations about anything.

I don't know if you know me deep down,
and I don't know if I know you deep down.

-[sniffles]
-I respect that.

[exhales]

Just unsure I can't, like... [sniffles]

...keep moving forward. You know?

I didn't realize that's where you were at.

It's my fault
for not communicating this sooner.

[sniffles]

-I don't know.
-I know.

[Francesca sniffles]

[Francesca] I had a great thing with Dom,

and I had an amazing few days with Abbey,
and me and Damian...

-[Joey] You're really going?
-Yeah.

-You're my best friend. I love you.
-I love you too.

[Francesca]
I'm glad I got to explore that,

but I wanna say I'm gonna
go home and text my ex, but...

[giggles]

...I probably shouldn't do that.

See you later.

You good?

I've learned a lot. I've grown.

Gonna go home and cuddle my dog.

Francesca left so I had...

-She's gone?!
-Yeah, so Joey had to... I said goodbye.

[Savannah] Oh, the shady one just left?
[laughs wickedly]

Bye.

Nice knowing ya, old friend.

[Savannah] Why are you crying?

[Kariselle] I was rooting for her.
You know what I mean?

And Damian, and, like, I don't know.

It's hard when you want
the best for your friends.

You know what I mean?

-[Savannah] Mm-hmm.
-[laughs]

Honestly, it's for the better.

[Savannah] It's hard to tell
who's being genuine in the house

and who's just playing the game.

To me, blind loyalty isn't loyalty.
It's just plain stupid.

[blows raspberry, chuckles]

[Damian] I'm out of here.

-You're leaving?
-Yeah.

Why?

[Damian] It's just my time to go.

-What do you mean you're leaving, bro?
-[Kariselle] I love you.

I don't wanna get into it, but love you.
It's been real.

-Dude, I can't do this right now.
-No, it's good. I love you guys.

[Savannah] That makes me sad.

Aww. Damian.

He's like a sad little puppy right now,

and it hurts me
to know he's such a great guy,

and he got his heart broken.

-No.
-I gotta go.

[tearfully] No.

[Damian] I love you.

-Thanks for everything.
-This is a f*cked-up night.

I've learned one thing in this house.
Everything can change at the last minute.

We have history, me and Izzy.
We had a rocky road.

Me and Abbey had a rocky road
and grown through that.

-Can we just check in?
-[Abbey] Yeah.

There's a lot to figure out.
I'm playing a game.

I gotta figure out
which head I'm thinking with.

-So tell me where your head's at.
-I mean, I think we're solid.

You know I was gonna
have conversations tonight.

-So I'm doing that.
-Okay.

Me and Izzy have history.

-Mm-hmm.
-Right?

-And we're addressing that, right?
-Mm-hmm.

What are you gonna be thinking,
feeling, whatever?

Be super honest.

-What am I gonna be thinking?
-Yeah.

Highly likely, probably likely,
I am thinking of you.

[sting]

-Okay. That's different.
-That is different.

Okay. So then... All right.

I rejected all of the guys
who shot their shot with me,

and I wanted
to see this through with Bartise.

We had an agreement,
and I'm a dumb b*tch sometimes.

[moans]

[groans] Woo!

Anyway, everything's fine.

We've had conversations
throughout the evening.

We were good.

All of a sudden, it's a different thing.

-What do you mean?
-So if it's that easy...

We've had the same conversation
like, "We're good. We're fine."

-We are good.
-"Everything is good."

And now you are saying maybe not.

Do you see
why that would take me off guard?

Your head is not in the game anymore.

-Your head is upset I talk to other girls.
-It's not talk to other girls, Bartise!

-Your head is upset that I wavered.
-I don't care.

I'm saying you were like, "I'm not sure."

There's a small bit of uncertainty

that flickered in my brain
because Izzy was not who I thought.

-I don't like how you switch up that fast.
-Switch up how?

I don't want you to switch up
what you're saying one hour to the next.

People don't switch up like that.

You're gonna look like such a d*ck.

[ominous music playing]

I just want you to know that.

-Am I?
-Yeah, 100%.

I don't care how I look.
I care how I feel.

Okay.

You're concerned how you look.
That's how you are.

-That's not...
-Yes, it is. That's how you came in.

"I can look a certain way.
My mom's so mad at me."

"My sister may have this opinion of me,"
and now you're here.

-Trust me, that's how...
-You're using my words against me now.

You're saying I'm gonna be
looking a f*cking d*ck.

Yeah, you are.

I don't give a f*ck how I look.
