Season after season,

couples have come to "Temptation Island"

with one question: "Are we really meant to be together?"

And season after season, couples have left

the island with many different answers.

I did something very stupid.

I do forgive you.

Some realized they were better off alone.

The Erika that came into this?

It's not the same Erika right now.

For that reason, I'll be leaving by myself.

The things that you did that I had to sit and watch...

I know that I need to leave the island alone.

Others met somebody new.

Oh, my God, I am so happy.

While others left more in love...

I just love you and I want to leave with you.

... ready to start a new chapter together.

- Will you marry me? - Yes, of course.

Will you make me the luckiest man?

A thousand times, yes.

And now...

What did we just get ourselves into?

I can't believe that this is happening.

Four new couples have come to "Temptation Island" in hopes

of finding the answers they so desperately seek.

[ screams ]

When are we going to wake up from this dream/nightmare?

I don't know which one it is yet.

They're acting super single.

You just risked hurting me like that.

That's a narcissist.

He is the epitome of a narcissist.

I'm fighting for something that

I don't have a chance at winning.

- I don't want that anymore. - Ew, ew.

I don't even want to ever speak to him again.

I just think it'll be for the best.

- His behavior was disgusting. - Wow.

I should probably stop thinking about him.

What did I just do?

We came here to work on loving ourselves.

But I ended up loving someone else.

Find out as we begin a once-in-a-lifetime

journey here on Temptation Island.

* You're not going to tempt me*

* You're not gonna forget me*

* You're not going to tempt me*

* Oh, oh, oh*

* You're not going to tempt me*

* You're not gonna forget me*

* You're not going to tempt me*

***

- Hi! - How are you?

- Where are you guys from? - We're from Seattle.

And we're from New York.

And they were saying they've been together three years.

We've been together, like, five and you guys--

- Seven. - One and a half.

- Year and a half. - Oh, okay.

I'm feeling like, damn, this has really hit me now

that we're really going to start embarking on this journey.

Yeah. I'm just asking myself, like,

what did we just get ourselves into?

- To new adventures. - To growth.

- Yes. - To Temptation Island!

Whoo-hoo!

I'm super ready. I'm ready to see

what challenges come our way

within ourselves, and our relationship.

- Just bring it on. - Bring it on.

I like that.

I don't know whether it's, like, the alcohol,

or being on the ocean, and the boat, or the nerves,

but I definitely have, like, a little pit in my stomach.

- My name is Edgar. - And I'm Gillian.

And we've been together almost three years.

We always have each other,

you know, whatever happens, you know I love you.

We met in college. We were college sweethearts.

And I love how he's always there for people.

He has a huge heart.

So, I feel like everyone he meets

is really affected by that.

When I'm with her, I feel like we bring out

the best in each other.

And then she's absolutely stunning.

So, you know, it wasn't too hard to fall for her.

- You excited to go? - I am really excited.

- How are you feeling? - I'm okay.

- Yeah? - I'm feeling nervous.

We have been at a crossroads in our relationship

for a while now, and I want to make sure

that we both have the opportunity to explore

other people so we're secure in what we have.

Are you going to act as, like, a single person

in this scenario or are you going to--

Not completely, because I'm emotionally

still attached to you.

Right, right.

See, that's where I'm, like, confused.

Like, it's just, like, a lot of blurred lines

because I feel like, I don't know,

how, like, "single" we're supposed to be.

If I met Edgar when I was 25, I think we would have already

been married by now, but I don't feel confident

settling down with the person I've been with since I'm 17.

So, if I can use this experience on Temptation Island to solidify

that, yes, like, I am ready for a committed relationship

at my age, then great, I can give him that answer.

But if the answer ends up being no, I'm not ready,

then I want to give him that answer as well.

I want her to either show me that she wants to work

on this or that she still needs some of her own growing to do.

So, I want her to find those answers for herself.

- It's gonna be fine. - You really think so?

I hope so.

We're gonna go into this with an open heart, an open mind.

- Yeah. - But not too open.

- I hear that. - Okay.

I'm picking up what you're putting down.

Okay.

- I'm Hania. - And I'm Ash,

and we've been together for about a year and a half.

Mm, this is one of my favorites.

- It's kind of like a sage. - It is a sage.

- It is a sage. - It is a sage.

- It's a sage. - Well done.

What drew me to Ash, it was just her outgoing personality.

She is very caring and cares for me.

When I finally got to spend time and, like, talk to him,

it was really hard to feel anything else but what I do.

We're both going to see

if we're making the right choice

in staying together thousands of miles apart.

Yeah.

Santa Fe, it's a small town

and there are not a lot of opportunities.

And so, Ash decided to move to New York,

but I'm really worried we won't survive her move.

I would like to explore maybe an open relationship,

and I think this experiment, in particular,

would help us to see if that's feasible.

How would me being involved with other people affect you?

Like, do you think that that's something

you'd be comfortable with?

I think that's what we're going to find out.

I want to know if I'm respected and appreciated

in this, because I think he trusts me

and I may not necessarily totally trust him.

You have to be open to your part of the experiment.

It's not just, like, put Hania up to,

you know, see if he'll cross a line.

Whoo!

- Is that Mark? - This is crazy!

It's so real now.

Seeing Mark waving us down just kind of brings

everything to reality, like, this is real.

- We're really here. - This is real.

There's no going back.

Tanya and Ash, right?

- Yes. - Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you. - Been waiting for you guys.

- So glad to be here. - You look great.

I'm feeling so many things at once that

it's a little bit overwhelming.

- Lascelles, right? - Yes.

I'm Mark. Nice to meet you.

- It's a pleasure. - Pleasure's mine.

- Hi, Mark. How are you? - Pleasure.

There's a lot to lose.

It's a huge risk coming to this island.

We have seven years of our lives on the line.

You guys must be Iris and Luke, is that right?

-That's exactly right, Mark. -I'm glad to see you.

- Hi. Nice to meet you. - Welcome, welcome, welcome.

Nice to see you, my friend.

Who knows what can really happen?

And it's just kind of freaking scary.

- Hi! - Welcome.

- Nice to meet you both. - Nice to meet you.

- Hi, Gillian. - Hi.

Nice to see you. Edgar, a pleasure.

Welcome. Welcome. Welcome.

I just can't stop thinking about that moment when, like,

those girls are going to be, like, chasing after Edgar

and, you know, being all assertive or whatever.

Vice versa.

I'm just bracing myself for that.

Let me be the first to welcome you to Temptation Island,

and I've got one question: are you all ready

to begin the next chapter of your relationships?

- Yes. - Yeah, absolutely.

- Let's do it. - Yes, we are.

Good. Because it wasn't a rhetorical question.

I'm glad you answered that. Let's go. Come with me.

I'm definitely realizing we're in pretty deep

and I am getting very scared.

I'm starting to think that maybe it was a mistake

to come to Temptation Island.

* I want to see love make a comeback*

* I wanna feel hope when it runs out*

- Here's one of our villas. - Oh! Wow!

- Oh, snap. - Jeez.

- Look at the view. - You like it?

- Yes. - Wow.

Let's have a seat and have a little chat.

- What do you say, huh? - Yes. All right.

- This place is magical. - Before this journey begins,

I wanted to just take a moment and chat with you guys.

In a nutshell, why are you here?

Lascelles, why don't you start?

Right now, we're at a crossroads.

We want to take the next step.

And before we do that,

we want to make sure that we're our true soulmates.

- I'm Lascelles. - And I'm Ashley,

and we've been together for seven years.

With Ashley, I scored big time.

I really wanted, like, a best friend who I can love,

and Ashley's been everything and more.

There's so many things I love about Lascelles.

He's very down-to-earth and outgoing.

He has, like, a creative mind, and he's very unique.

That's why we're connected.

- Tied together. - Yes.

Like, you think this is a mistake on our end?

I have no idea. I don't-- really do not know.

The biggest issue, I think, in our relationship is

I'm dependent on Lascelles, he's dependent on me.

So, after, like, seven years being together

literally every single day,

we kind of got a little bit

comfortable with each other.

Don't forget the reason why we're going on this island is

for self-growth for myself, for you, our relationship.

Try to build it better than it is right now,

you know what I mean?

I think Temptation Island will kind of

test our love and, like, see how strong our love is

because the next step in our relationship

would be eventually get engaged and start a family.

I would say the main obstacle that's stopping

that is we haven't had an opportunity to be

with anybody else, really go out on any dates.

So, we don't know what life is without each other.

We're strong individuals, we're a strong couple.

Nothing can break us apart, literally.

It's super important for me

to see her grow from this experience.

I think it will take our relationship a lot further

and we'll be able to take the next step.

So, I have a lot of faith

- that we can get through this. - Me too.

Come here.

How about you guys? How are you feeling now

as opposed to when you first got here?

I feel a little bit more settled in, not as nervous.

I'm sure the nerves will kick in a little bit more

as the process goes on.

Luke, you doing good?

It's definitely going to be hard to leave my girl

and I'm sure the same for all the rest of the guys,

but we're going to do the best we can,

come out on the other side growing strong.

- I'm Luke. - And I'm Iris,

and we've been together for about five years.

Luke is the one.

It was kind of love at first sight for me,

and I still get butterflies whenever I'm around him.

This girl's got the whole package and beyond,

even just the caring sweetness and everything,

like, she's just frickin' drop-dead gorgeous.

- Are you scared? - I'm ready.

I'm ready to embrace the challenge.

I just don't want to lose you.

The first year that we started dating, we broke up twice.

I had a hard time trusting Luke

because I would find text messages from other girls,

and that made me really insecure.

I just don't want either of us to get tempted.

I want to make it out with you.

Iris is the party queen.

She gets all this other love and attention from guys.

That's what really drew me back to texting other girls,

just because I'm feeling jealous and insecure,

which isn't a good way to cope.

Honestly, really, the stakes are super high for us.

And, you know, if either of us cheats on each other,

this is, like, do or die.

Like, this is what we're going here for.

I think the major issues in our relationship are,

one, my trust issues with him.

Two, him not being able to get emotionally vulnerable with me.

And three, I don't think

Luke shows me that he loves me enough.

Iris doesn't deserve to feel

that I don't love her because I really do.

I just really have a hard time expressing

the emotions I have for love.

You're the one for me, so we're going to stick with it.

It's going to be really hard, but I love you.

I love you too.

All right, guys.

You came to this island because you're at a crossroads.

Each of you have serious questions

about the future of your relationship.

And in order to find the answers to those questions,

you've come here to embark on a journey

where you'll be single and you'll date other people.

As you could probably imagine,

I know this process pretty well.

I have seen a lot of couples come to this island,

and I'm telling you, the ones who drop their guard,

who open up, who are not afraid to be honest

and vulnerable, those are the ones

who end up leaving this island in a better place.

With all that being said,

what would this day be without a toast, right?

I was excited to start this process,

but inside I'm thinking, "Holy shit.

This is realer than I could have even imagined."

Cheers.

Okay, I've showed you this beautiful villa,

this sunset, which is the first

of so many you ladies are going to get to see

from this balcony.

But gentlemen, you're probably wondering

where you're going to be living, huh?

Yeah.

Don't worry, I got you hooked up.

Please do. With high ceilings.

Well, let's take this with us,

and why don't we check it out? Come on.

***

* You make everywhere we go paradise*

* Everywhere we are perfect*

- Holy... - God!

- Come on in, boys. - Wow, this is crazy.

Welcome home.

- I can't believe this. - Look at this door.

What a minute. Wait a minute.

I'm upset now.

This is, like, amazing.

Isn't it beautiful at night out here?

It's gorgeous.

Guys, grab seats, make yourself comfortable.

[ exhales deeply ]

That was a deep breath there, Luke.

I'm tripping balls right now, man.

[ laughter ]

Couples, now you've seen where you'll be living.

It's time to see who you'll be living with.

- Damn. Damn! - [ laughter ]

Oh, my God, I almost have a heart attack.

Let them come out.

[ tense music ]

Oh, the suspense.

[ gasps ]

Oh, my God.

- I'm dead. - Hot damn, okay.

***

Oh, no.

[ tense music ]

Oh, my God.

- I'm dead. - Hot damn, okay.

Oh, no.

Wow.

Couples, standing before you are 12 single men

and 12 single women who've all come to this island

to find love with one of you.

Now, maybe making a connection with one

of these singles will help you answer the question,

"Have I already found the love of my life?

"Or are they standing right here in front of you?"

Oh, my gosh. Don't tempt me.

Oh!

Are you ready? Here we go.

- Model. Work it! - Model.

Hey, my name is Trace, and I'm a model.

That means with me by your side,

you'll never go out of style.

- Ooh! - I like that.

Oh!

- Show me some muscless. - Show me the muscle.

What's up, ladies?

I'm James, I'm 25, hailing from the Sunshine State.

And if you think I'm a big guy,

wait until you see... my heart.

- It's even bigger. - [ cheers ]

- Calm down, baby, calm down. - I am--

* Ooh, la, la, la*

I'm Alexa, I'm a 23-year-old Jersey Girl.

And your man's going to scream more than just,

"Hey, Alexa" real soon.

- [ laughter ] - I love it.

Hey. I respect it. I respect it.

- Oh, my God. - What's up? What's up?

What's up?

Hey, I'm Andrew, I'm a 29-year-old market

researcher from Florida, and I can't wait to get to know

you ladies, because it's my job.

Hey, check the market research, man.

You can check the 'Gram, check the 'Gram, man.

Hey, I know exactly what she's searching for.

- It's me. - You don't even know her, dog.

Five years deep, dog.

You guys kind of look like cousins.

- Oh, no. - You guys could be cousins.

He tried.

My name is Madelyn. I'm 23.

I'm from a small town in Georgia.

Everyone calls me Juicy,

and I think your boyfriend will find out why.

Oh!

Okay...

[ laughter ]

Hey, Temptation Island, let's go, let's go.

We here. We here.

- Whoo! - [ shouting ]

I'm Ray Rock. I'm from the Bronx, New York.

As you can see, I get everyone wildin' out.

But just think what I could do with your lady?

- I see you. - Go ahead, try, bro.

I see your girl, bro. I see her, bro.

You better hold on to her tight.

Y'all gonna break up after this.

Please. Try it.

You better keep laughing, you're gonna be crying after this.

Hey, guys, I'm Karyna.

I'm 27 years old and a therapist,

I'll be a listening ear, a shoulder to lean on,

and I'm not afraid to get a little deep.

- We'll find out. - What do you mean by "deep"?

Hello, ladies, fellas, I'm Taylor,

I'm 24 from South Florida.

I hope you enjoy sitting next to your girlfriends now,

'cause next time you see them, they'll be sitting with me

telling me how shitty you are.

Good luck, boy.

It's not always double entendre, sometimes it's straight up.

Hey, guys, I'm Kryslyn.

I'm from Dallas and I'm a tarot card reader.

One of you coming home with me is definitely in the cards.

- Boom! - Okay, okay.

I'm Blake, I'm 26.

I know, I may look like a bad boy,

but in the Navy, I saved a man's life.

And now, I'm here to change yours.

Whoo!

I don't know if that's happening.

Hi, guys. My name's Marissa and I'm 26 years old,

I'm a real estate agent from North Carolina

- and just-- - Me too.

Oh, nice. Just a heads up: I'm used to making offers

that people just can't refuse.

All right, that's pretty good.

What about closing the deal, girl?

[ chuckles ]

- All right, calm down. - Oh, I'm not--

I'm Tevin, 28 years old, and I work at the airport.

And, ladies, I'm going to make sure

you make your next flight-- home with me.

- Oh! - Hey.

[ cheering ]

Hey, I'm Liv, like you're livin',

A 22-year-old roller skater from Los Angeles.

Sorry, ladies, but one of your boyfriends

is rolling out of here with me.

All right, I dig it.

Let's see you do a flip.

I gotta say I'm pretty impressed.

Props for that. Yeah.

My name's Tommy.

I'm 24 years old and back in California,

my job is to fight fires.

But here on the island, I'm looking for someone

to set my heart ablaze.

- Aw! - Oh!

He's got really pretty eyes.

Okay, singles, thank you.

Great job, you guys can head on out.

We'll be seeing all of you very soon.

I swear I dreamt about one of you.

About one of us?

- Bye. - Seein' you soon, ladies.

We have nothing to worry about.

Well, now you've met our singles,

and although their one-liners are fun and flirty,

I can assure you that these singles

are taking this very seriously.

They're on their own journey, and they're hoping

to make a deep connection with one of you.

Look, I know you have a lot to think about

and you're going to get a chance to do that tonight...

in your separate villas.

Damn.

Just a small taste of what it's like to be on your own

without the comfort of your partner.

Don't worry, it's not goodbye.

It's only goodnight.

You'll all be back together in the morning.

So, why don't you take a moment to say your goodnights

and then you can head off to your separate villas, okay?

No.

- See you tomorrow. - Sleep well.

I love you.

Bye, puppy.

Sleep well. Sweet dreams, okay?

I feel super excited about this journey.

But right now, these guys are all I got.

We're all going through very similar things.

These are my bros, so we're all in this together

and we've gotta get through this.

- Cheers. - Cheers, brothers.

- Cheers, guys. To growth! - To growth.

- To growth. - Yes, sir.

[ upbeat music ]

* I'm moving every day*

* I'm giving it away*

How do you guys feel about having, like, the singles

be our new roommates and, like, our--

could be, like, our new boyfriends?

I'm nervous.

I'm nervous, but I'm excited to really get to know them

and see how things go.

- Well, good morning. - Hey, Mark.

- Hi. - Nice to see you all.

Nice to see you.

Listen, I realize that a lot has happened in a short time,

and I thought you might have had a restless night.

So, I brought the guys in to help put your mind at ease.

Let's see.

Oh, my God, is this happening right now?

How we doing, how we doing, huh?

Welcome, welcome, welcome.

- My heart is racing. - Pinch me. It's not real.

It's a little scary

knowing we're about to meet the singles.

There's a lot of...

painfully tight pants

and really big muscles.

They're right there. [ nervous chuckling ]

Ah... Oh, my goodness.

Ladies, you came here for love.

Now, whether it's confirming the love you already have

or finding something new that's right here,

don't be afraid to make connections.

- Cool? - Yeah!

I'll check in with you guys later.

Have a great day, get to know one another.

Drinks are upstairs, let's go.

- Okay. - Let's go, let's go.

It definitely makes me nervous to think

this is the start of my "single life."

I think we should start with a shot.

We got boozy eats and drinks, son.

[ excited crosstalk ]

It's been a long time

since I've been around single men like that.

I work 10 days a month,

so the rest of the time I spend traveling.

So, like, not to be crude, but, like,

how do you have the money to travel

and do all these extravagant things?

Firefighters in California make a good bit of money.

- Really? - I mean, I just bought a house.

If I'm interested in a woman, I'm going to go out of my way

to let them know I'm interested in them.

And the ladies love that I'm a firefighter.

Before that, I was traveling, still traveling, so...

I love it. I love it.

So, what makes you come here?

Caught him texting girls from his past

and it's made me really uncomfortable.

Oh, no.

It's kind of been like a thing that keeps happening.

Like, he'll stop for, like, a few months,

and then I'll catch it again.

So, it makes me feel insecure.

Well, you shouldn't be. I mean, look at you.

Thank you.

Whatever he's doing is incorrect,

so he doesn't know what he has.

But he thinks he knows what he has

because everyone wants you. You've got to deal with that.

Oh, thank you. Yeah.

I consider myself tempting because once my shirt comes off,

my shyness is completely out of the door

and anything is possible.

You're the most attractive one here, in my opinion.

* I'm the life, I'm the life of the party*

* I'm the life, I'm the life of the party*

[ excited crosstalk ]

I have to go outside because the sweating is happening,

- I'm so sorry. - I'm just unbuttoning my shirt.

[ cheering ]

I have never been around

this many single people trying to win my heart.

Twelve at a time and they all seem so lovely so far.

It's-- It's going to be fun.

Take it off, baby! Take it off.

You have any bartending experience with that?

- Maybe. - That's a good pour.

Okay, I'm gonna have some more.

You should've heard last night, it was so quiet.

Like, it was just the four of us guys just relaxing.

We were just thinking about like, okay,

trying to process all the things,

'cause a lot happened last night. I was nervous because,

you know, you want to make a good impression.

You don't want to look like a weakling in front of the guys.

And they were trying to get you down.

They were trying.

I'm good because I'm very secure of who I am.

That's good. Now I'll look.

Right? You've gotta be. Self confidence's something

I had to learn on my own.

I feel like I'm definitely a pursuer.

Because I'm just very like,

"I know what I want. Let's get it."

Like, I don't have time to play.

You guys are fun to talk with.

Talk to us about why exactly you're here.

We've been together for a while, and she doesn't know

if she needs to have the chance to be single

and see what else is out there,

and some stuff has happened.

So... I also am trying to figure out as to whether or not,

you know, Gillian is the person I want to be with right now.

I am not a man stealer,

but here is a different story.

So, if you're coming here and you know what's going to happen,

then... it might happen.

- I'm sweating, aren't I? - It looks hot.

Sweating looks hot?

It emphasizes everything it needs to.

- Look at that. - [ giggling ]

- Okay, yeah. - Okay. [laughing]

* 'Cause I feel sexy today*

* Ooh in a new kind of way, yeah*

I actually learned from my friends

how to do the bachata, the salsa--

- I love-- - So I got you, ready?

I know what I can bring: the confidence,

the swagger from New York, the East Coast side.

[ wordless singing ]

You can tell by a woman's body language

if they're interested or not. They just give you that look,

the smile, the little wink. You gotta play in their game.

- I think we're good now. - That's it, that's it.

That is not for me. I'm so sorry.

Like, he seems like a fine person,

but just-- that is not my type.

A little something, a little preview. That's a preview.

- So, the windows open... - Yeah.

And your face popped up. It was vibrant

and it was seeing your eyes from far away,

and being like "She has a story," right?

Which you're telling me now.

It's really interesting how you caught that.

Life's-- it's about wavelengths, you know?

And that's not me saying, "I want to hit on you."

It's more so I want to know you as a person.

And then kind of go from there.

Mike is such a sweet, you know, kind, caring person.

I really think he's genuine,

down to earth, and I can't wait

to really get to know him.

We'll get a lot of conversations, I promise.

- You think? - I promise.

- It's a deal? Shake on it? - I'll pinky promise.

That's even more. Blow on it. All right.

I got to ask.

Whose idea was it to come to the island?

- You or your man? - It was mine.

- I have a lot of questions. - Uh-huh.

There's a couple of red flags in my head that are like,

maybe he kind of just wants to do his own thing.

Like, girls will hit on him next to me,

but I'll be introduced as a friend.

- Yeah. - And it's like...

He introduces you as a friend--

- "This is my friend, Ash." - Mm.

I think we all came here for a reason, and in my eyes

Ash came here to open that part of herself up and,

you know, see if she can have a better connection

with someone else.

Even though he may not be

feeling his end of the deal, and this love, you know,

you're giving all that you have

and you're not holding back, which is the way to live.

Thank you for coming to this journey.

And, like, going down this path with us.

I'm always here to talk, you know.

* We don't need permission*

* We got a green light, hey!*

* No inhibitions, just want a good time*

[ giggling and crosstalk ]

I'm a little distracted, I think.

I'm such a, like, out of sight,

out of mind kind of person and, like,

I want to be in the here and now.

And if you're not here and now, then I have a hard time

giving you the attention that you want.

Immediately was thinking, like, "Okay, Kryslyn is somebody

"I could ask on a date."

And Juicy did give direct attention to me

during the reveal, and so...

I'm looking to maybe explore that a little bit too.

I'm almost worried for her now.

She brought me here to see how trustworthy I am,

but she did not know what she's getting herself into.

I'm like, yo, if you cheat on me, then almost,

I have free reign.

If I were one of the girlfriends,

I would definitely be freaking out.

All the girls are hot. All the guys are hot.

I would definitely not bring my boyfriend here.

Rules are meant to be broken.

- Am I right? Like... - Whoa!

* I've got my bounce back*

* Feeling every, every step*

* Yeah, I'm takin' deep breaths*

What's up, what's up, what's up everybody!

[ cheering ]

- Guys, you had a good time? - We had a great time!

- Amazing. - Yeah!

Unfortunately, I got to say

we got to wrap this party up.

Guys, you can take off.

Thank you for entertaining the ladies.

You set up a great party

and it looks like it just was perfect.

- Thank you. - Thank you, Mark.

- Goodnight! - Bye!

I had to wrap up the party, but you guys aren't done.

As a matter of fact, I've got a wonderful dinner

prepared for you with your boyfriends.

- [ squealing and clapping ] - Finally!

And that dinner is going to be here at your villa, so...

- Yay! - All right.

- Bye. - Bye, Mark.

Yay! I can't wait to see the boys.

Ah! I'm, like, crying.

Bon appétit, my love.

Missed you, baby.

What do we say, family? How's dinner?

- Delicious. - Come join us.

- Come on in. - Yes.

Here's to a lovely dinner.

Cheers, cheers, cheers.

I've really been waiting for this moment

because up until now, it's a whirlwind.

I was looking forward to just having a moment

to just chop it up with you guys.

Jillian and Edgar, I'm gonna start with you.

How are you feeling right now?

Where are you at, emotionally?

Um, I am feeling better now that I'm with Edgar.

It was definitely so weird to, like,

wonder what he was doing all day.

So, it's making me feel a little uneasy

that I don't get to see the whole story right now.

Is trust a big issue for the two of you?

We have in the past both broken the trust.

- Both of you? - Yeah, both of us.

Yeah, it's definitely taken a toll on our relationship.

Edgar, have you guys made any, like,

rules of how you're going to approach this?

I think we both agree that after a kiss,

we can gauge as to whether or not there's

physical chemistry there, and anything beyond that

isn't really necessary.

- Okay. Thanks, you guys. - Thank you.

Hania and Ash, why are you here?

What do you want?

I want to know if I'm making the right decisions.

- About your future? - About my future, about love.

I want a little guidance to make the right decision.

I need to know...

if I can make long distance work.

And Hania, do you think there's a way to make that work?

I think there's a way.

Yeah. I don't mean to be cliché, but...

where there's a will, there's a way.

[ laughing ]

And I'm so willing.

Okay.

I love you.

Ashley and Lascelles, whose idea was it to come here?

- Yours, Ashley? - It was my idea, yeah.

- Why? - Because, um...

[ whispering ] Okay, sorry.

You got it, Ashley. You got this.

We're here.

Today we saw the singles

and there was one guy that brought me by the pool.

And we had, like, the best conversation ever.

I felt like an emotional energy connection, like...

Everything he said was, like, everything I wanted to hear,

like, we have that bond.

How does that make you feel, Lascelles?

It's upsetting. I mean,

I wish I can share more emotions, tears.

But that's just not who I am.

I don't want to force anything that's not real.

Okay. Boy, I have so much to say to you.

I'm gonna just trust that I might get a chance to say it

- another time. - You will. We'll have time.

Iris and Luke, how are you feeling?

I hoped throughout our whole relationship

that he could open up his emotions.

And I feel like basically I'm hurting for him.

Because I feel like his emotions are trapped within himself,

and I don't think that's a way to live.

What's the problem?

I've just, like, never really seen Luke cry.

I've seen him cry once, and it wasn't really to me.

Are you saying that you know him and you love him,

but you don't know that he's showing you all of him?

Yeah.

It stems back to the family and how broken up

a lot of things are in that regard.

You say the word "family" and I see you get choked up.

Yeah. Yeah.

Iris, is this more what you're talking about right here?

Yeah. And I feel like we're about to just, like--

I was about to see it.

Look, you all came here with questions, right?

And I promise you, you're going to get answers.

I cannot promise they're going to be to the questions

that you came here with.

And are you prepared for the possibility

that your life could change forever,

regardless of who you leave with,

if you even leave with anyone at all?

This may be the last time you hold each other

and you're together as a couple

before you leave this island.

And for some of you, it's possible that tonight

when you kiss is the last time you guys will ever kiss.

So, my suggestion to you is...

Man, if there's something you haven't said

because you're afraid, you wanna hurt

somebody's feelings or whatever,

don't leave without saying it.

I'll be back in 10 minutes, okay?

- Thank you. - Cheers.

- Cheers. - One last toast.

- [ chuckling ] - [ glasses clinking ]

* When tomorrow comes*

[ solemn music ]

[ Ashley sighing ]

- How are you feeling? - I don't know.

I'm feeling a lot of emotions right now.

You know, you're my best friend.

You're the love of my life. I can only see you in my future.

I just want you to become truly independent.

Really discover who you are, and then you'll get to see

what I bring to the table, what I'm lacking.

And the same for me. You know, kind of--

We have a lot. We have a lot of potential.

Wel, yeah. And I know you sacrifice a lot for me

and stuff like that.

And I know the emotion is in you, but maybe it takes like...

someone else to bring that emotion in you,

- if that makes sense. - Yeah.

I really want you to have an amazing experience

and have a good time.

Always think about us, no matter what you're doing, you know.

- Of course. -'Cause seven years is so much.

You're, like, the love of my life.

I don't want to lose you at all.

I love you, man. I love you so much.

This is only the beginning.

- We have a lot. - Many blessings to come.

Absolutely.

- I'm proud of you tonight. - Thank you.

Yeah, I-- like, that was really good.

I know it's hard for you to get emotional, especially

in front of people and whatnot, but that meant a lot.

I'm already-- I'm opening up, like,

this is what I'm trying to do.

This is the only side of me I feel like

- I really need to work on and-- - And trust.

- And what? - And the trust.

And the trust. I mean, the trust is, you know...

I'm going to be able to hold that down.

The biggest part of the growth

is really just going to be opening up.

- It's exciting to see. - Yeah.

Cannot wait to see you in the end.

I hope throughout the whole journey, everything remains cool

and it's just growth from here on out.

But this is going to be goodbye, baby.

- I'm not going to see you. - It's not goodbye.

- It's just goodbye for now. - Goodbye for now.

I need you to really dig into yourself--

- I will. - and find out what you want.

And if you do want to be with me.

[ tense music ]

I know right now that I want to be with you,

and I know that I want to be with you at the end of this.

I want you to be happy with or without me.

- I hope it's with, but... - [ small chuckle ]

- Are you scared? - I am scared.

- Me too. - It's okay.

I'm trying to be so brave,

and even though I did meet someone who is really nice

today, like, as a friend, like, none of them compared to you.

I met someone too who is good as a friend, you know.

But none of them compared to you.

Like, you are so much cuter and sexier

and you are just-- you get me.

You understand who I am.

And I'm trying to have an open mind

and an open heart, 'cause I know

that's what we're here to do, you know.

Like I-- I don't want this to be a waste of our time.

We're putting everything on the line.

I just feel I'm cutting off, like, a limb.

Like, a part of who I am.

Yeah, okay.

Okay, couples,

I need you over here with me.

***

- I love you. - I love you, too.

* Don't let me, don't let me go*

Gentlemen, you're going to come with me.

Ladies, you're going to stay here

and everything's going to be okay.

Come on, boys, let's go.

Ladies, I'll see you soon.

[ whispering ] I love you so, so much.

It was really sad saying bye to Gillian.

She's grappled with these questions as to whether

or not she should be alone in her 20s.

If you really are questioning it, then maybe this isn't

what you need right now, and that's fine.

But I'm hopeful that we'll leave together.

* Don't let me, don't let me go*

I love you so much.

It's just too difficult for me right now to even fathom

what could possibly be

if we were to not leave the island together.

* Oh, whoa*

Ladies, take care of each other,

I'll check in with you soon.

- Be good. - You too.

All right, boys, right this way.

[ sniffling ]

You okay?

* We may never have tomorrow*

* So, please don't let me go*

***

* Please don't let me go*
