[dramatic music playing]

[Desiree] Here we go.

Will Alex and Louis choose love?

Or will they take the $25,000 each
and run?

The stakes have never been higher
and neither has my blood pressure.

-I have no idea what's going on.
-Yeah.

[Lana chimes]

[Lana] Hello everyone.

-[all] Hi, Lana.
-What's up?

[Lana] I have gathered you all
for a specific reason.

Louis and Alex appear to want
two different things simultaneously.

[softly] Shit.

[Lana, in normal voice] The first is
to commit to Christine and Elys

fully and completely.

I feel very uncomfortable right now.

[Lana] The second is to avoid commitment,
responsibility and change.

What?

Is this for real?
Please tell me this is a joke.

So both of you guys are hesitant?

[Alex sighs wearily]

Why do you look so guilty?

[Alex] Elys looks like she wants
to kill me right now.

[Lana] Just moments ago,

in order to help Alex and Louis
figure out what they really want,

I gave them an ultimatum.

-Uh... What?
-[Yazmin] Wait, what?

[Bryce] What's she talking about?

What the hell is going on?

-What happened before we got here?
-[Dre] What's up, Louis?

I am literally so confused right now.

[Lana] The ultimatum
was to take $25,000 each...

I've got a bad feeling about this.

...and leave the retreat immediately
as single men.

[Desiree] Medic! Could you fix
some dislocated jaws, please?

Wow, $25,000.

Seriously, that's a lot of money.

[chuckling nervously] Oh!

Or what?

[Lana] Or say no to the money

and commit to Elys and Christine
once and for all.

But, in doing so, they would forfeit
their place in the final

and their chance to win the prize
which currently stands at $100,000.

-Whoa!
-[Yazmin] What?

-Oh, man. That is a game changer!
-[Hunter] Yeah.

Oh, my God.
If I was Christine or Elys... [exclaims]

[Yazmin] From what we know,
your dates went well.

-Yeah.
-They did go well.

Man, I'm praying that Louis
didn't do anything stupid.

-[Elys] I got a green light with Alex.
-And I got a green light with Louis.

I have spent all summer working on myself

and shown a very vulnerable side.

And the fact
that I asked Alex to be my boyfriend...

What if the money means more?

[Christine] My stomach
literally just dropped.

I opened up to Louis and committed
to only him on this retreat.

I need Louis to show me that he feels
the same and won't let me down again.

[Lana] I will now reveal the decision
that each of them made.

Alex has decided to...

Alex looks sketchy. Is your relationship
worth that much money?

[Alex] Fuck.

$25,000, it is a lot of money.

This is the hardest decision.

Ooh! This is tense.

I feel so sick.

Alex, please don't let me down.

[Lana] ...reject the money and choose Elys.

Thank God!

[all clapping]

Oh, no way. [laughs]

Good job, Alex.

[Elys] I mean more to Alex than $25,000.

I'm ecstatic. I'm so happy.

You're a beautiful couple.

I guess, how I'm feeling at the moment,

you can't really put a price on that,

and I'm so happy
that we're finally together.

I thought about taking the money,

but then I thought about losing Elys,

and it made me
start thinking about how I feel.

I really, really like her.

-Congrats, man.
-Thanks.

[Desiree] Okay, one down,

one seriously guilty-looking dude to go.

[Lana] Louis...

has decided to...

$25,000, that is big money.

I really like Christine,

but I can think about people
who are close to me,

like my mum and my dad.

I can change a lot for them.

[Courtney] I hope that
he has chosen Christine.

However, it's really hard to trust him
when he continuously messes up.

[Christine] My heart
is beating out of my chest.

I am so scared that Louis took the money.

[Lana] ...reject the money
and choose Christine.

Well done, mate.

[Christine] Oh, my God.

Me?

I got chosen over $25,000?

I really feel like I'm dreaming.

No amount of money can put a price

on what we have

because I do care about you,
and I do wanna carry things further.

I'm a money man. Not gonna lie.

Went in my head a little bit.

When money comes at expense
of someone's emotions, it's worthless.

I've learned that anywhere, it's here.

[Lana] Alex and Louis, you were informed

that if you chose
your respective partners,

you would not be eligible
to win Too Hot to Handle.

That was a noble lie...

What's going on?

...as my aim was to ensure that you
made your decision for the right reasons,

both Alex and Louis,
along with everyone else...

Oh, my God.

...are eligible to win the $100,000 prize.

[all cheering]

[Louis] I appreciate you, Lana.

With your purple glow
and your titanium chrome shell.

You sexy little cone.

Look at that big smile, man.
[chuckles] Look at that big smile.

-[Lana] Goodbye.
-[Yazmin] Bye Lana!

-Bye, Lana.
-[Louis] See you later, Lana.

[Alex] Hello.

[Louis] You happy?

[Christine] I did not think
you were gonna choose me.

[Louis] Well, your feelings
mean a lot more to me

than some money, Christine.

[Desiree] Because of Lana's ultimatum,

Louis and Alex know
exactly what they want.

[Megan] Quite intense tonight.

Louis and Alex really have shown
signs of progress.

We are all very proud of them.

[Desiree] And that means
it's lovey-dovey time

for our two couples.

What went through your head

when you got asked
if you wanted the $25,000 or me?

It was a no-brainer.

I know that we've got something special.

Coming into this retreat,
I felt quite selfish.

I do things my way.

But now I have a boyfriend that believes

that our relationship
is worth more than $25,000.

It's such a good feeling.

A genuine connection with someone,
it is really nice.

I wanna care for you
and I wanna be here for you

and money's really nothing.

It's not worth losing Elys.

Someone I really care for, and I've been
through quite a lot so far with.

I feel like I'm a better person now,

and I know that
a big part of that is Elys.

[upbeat song playing]

I'm not used to a guy ever,
you know, picking me first.

You put me over $25,000.

I'm used to always giving
more than I receive,

so to see that Louis has just picked me
over $25,000,

I have not felt like this ever.

Obviously it was a massive test from Lana
to see if it was genuine or not.

But we passed it 'cause we're here.

[Louis] $25,000 is a lot of fucking money.

If you gave me that halfway through,
I wouldn't have blinked.

I would have taken it.

But we've been through way too much
to take that offer up.

I've realized Christine means a lot more
to me than $25,000 does.

Guys, can you believe $100,000?

No, I really can't.

$100,000.

It almost doesn't seem real.

Could it be a couple or just one person?

It's even more crazy
that we have $100,000.

-Yeah.
-[Dre] Facts.

That's crazy.

I think it's thanks to Detective Dre.

[all cheering]

-Yes.
-Yes. Gassed.

[Dre] Ain't never seen that much money
in my life, I got 11 siblings.

I wouldn't use the money just to blow it.

I just feel like I owe them
a responsibility to, you know,

give back to them.

It ain't about me.

Just make sure we do still have $100,000
in the morning.

[Dre] Please.

[Megan] 'Cause you two are looking
like absolute snacks.

[Dre cheers]

[Desiree] Just one more night of resisting
those snacks and tomorrow,

someone or someones will get to feast
on $100,000.

♪ It's the kinda love
That goes through the night ♪

♪ As you're losing track of time ♪

♪ And you don't wanna stop it because... ♪

-Good morning, everyone!
-[Courtney chuckles]

Last day of the retreat! Whoo!

Elys, how does it feel
to wake up a girlfriend?

It feels so good.

-[Alex] It's nice to have more clarity.
-Wish I had some privacy.

-[Alex] Yeah.
-Oh, that's so cute.

[Alex] This morning, I've really had
some time to reflect about last night,

and I can't even put into words
how much she means to me.

And now...

[exhales] I've gone
a bit soft in the head.

But I love her.

I love Elys.

There, I said it. Finally.

[Desiree] There it is, our first L-bomb
of the series.

And it was worth the wait.

[Alex] I literally have no idea
how I'm gonna tell her, though.

[Lana chimes]

-[Lana] Good morning, everyone.
-[all] Morning, Lana.

Good morning!

[Lana]
Welcome to your final day in the retreat.

Yeah!

[all cheering]

Gassed. Gassed.

[Lana] The winner or winners
of the $100,000 prize

has not been selected yet.

Therefore, I encourage you all to use
the 12 hours you have left

to show me and your fellow guests
why you deserve to win.

Let's be realistic. This goddamn retreat
gotta get a five-star.

It has changed my life
and I would not have met none of you.

-[Bryce] Facts.
-[all] Aww.

If I'm being all the way honest,
I don't think I can win the money.

Of course, I want to.

I need that money,

but I haven't found
the intimate connection

I was expecting with one of the girls.

I'm just learning
more of, like, personal growth.

Let's have a great day, everyone!

[all] Yeah!

[Desiree] The countdown is on.

[upbeat music playing]

But the hardest working robot
in show business still has work to do.

[Lana] Correct, Desiree.

For the past two seasons,
couples have been crowned winners.

Nick and Jawahir.

Harry and Beaux.

While we have two strong relationships

this season,

many of my guests have been
on personal journeys of growth.

As such, I will be selecting
two individuals as finalists

who'll go head to head
for the prize money.

But who those two people are
is still up for grabs.

[Desiree] Gosh, Lana, this is going
right down to the wire.

$100,000 in the pot.

I didn't realize how rich
Lana actually was.

-Lana's got bank.
-[Hunter] Yeah.

Bank! And who do y'all think is gonna win?

[exhales]

-That's a tough call.
-That is a tough call.

Who do y'all feel has changed the most?

It's so hard because we've all been
on completely different journeys.

Elys has gone from a girl who is scared
of her emotions,

who doesn't open up,

to a strong independent woman

who asked Alex to be her boyfriend.

I mean, she deserves to win.

If I were to pick a guy, I would say Dre.

I guess I would say Alex, but you guys
probably haven't seen that.

I don't wanna say, 'cause he's my man,

but I really do feel like
Louis has grown like a lot.

He did not talk about his feelings

and then through all the tests
that Lana has put us through,

I just feel like he has grown so much.

[Desiree] Oh, Louis, what have you
got to say about your amazing growth?

As soon as you stick it in, he's gonna go,

-"Oh, shit!"
-[Alex laughs]

[Desiree] Okay, swiftly moving on.

I think Louis has grown a lot,
but personally, I feel like he's young.

He's just figuring out himself still,

and I feel like there's so much more
he has to learn.

All I'm gonna say is,
let the best women win.

[all] Girl power!

[Desiree] These guys and gals
have got their eyes on the prize.

But before Lana picks her two finalists,

she's arranged one last workshop.

[Lana chimes] This final workshop

will challenge my guests
to explore difficult emotions

as they learn to embrace their new lives
as mature and compassionate individuals

capable of forming healthy,

long-lasting romantic relationships.

It is also the last chance for everyone
to show me how brave,

vulnerable, and honest they are.

Qualities I'm looking for in my finalists.

Today, guests must make a commitment
to say bye to their player ways

and hello to their new selves.

Welcome to your final workshop
here in the retreat.

[cheering]

I want you to take some time to write
a vow to yourself.

Let these words be a declaration

to give yourself the love and validation

that you've previously sought from others.

I guess this workshop really gives
an opportunity to really open up.

And it's putting me all the way
out of my comfort zone.

[mellow music playing]

I know I've opened up to Alex,
but this is different.

I'm so nervous to do it
in front of everyone.

I can see Elys finding it
a little bit uncomfortable,

and I think she needs
a little bit of a laugh.

What is that?

[laughs]

[Desiree] Is that a cowboy wearing a cape?

Quit horsing around, Alex.
You've got a vow to read.

You're all now gonna come up, one by one.

Alex, would you like to come up
and share your vows?

What now, Big Al!

[Dre] Yeah.

So, I arrived here quite the party boy.

Traveling the world, trying to meet
new girls all the time,

and to be honest, I can't even believe
I'm even saying this.

Um, I've met someone now that I feel like

is starting to bring out
the best side of me,

which I haven't seen in a while.

It really means a lot and, yeah,
I'm... [hesitating]

Getting a bit tongue-tied
because I genuinely really care. Um...

Uh, yeah.

[Alex] I've fallen in love with a girl

that I didn't think
was even possible to meet,

and especially on this retreat.

So I guess I'm kind of scared
to tell her I love her.

Ooh... Uh...

-It's all right, Al.
-It's okay, Alex.

-[Dre] It's all good, buddy bro.
-[Alex] Yep.

[Desiree] You just gotta put yourself
out there, Alex, and take that risk.

[Alex] I just can't do it.

This is hard right now because I just
don't know if she feels the same.

Thank you so much for your share.

-Thanks, guys.
-[all cheering]

Christine, would you like to come up
and share your vows?

[all clapping]

So, before this retreat,

I literally felt like I could never have
anything romantic with a guy.

I actually felt like I was uncapable
of being loved,

but now I've literally learned so much.

To now be, you know, here with Louis.

I don't know, it just feels so unreal

because you warm my heart,
you make me feel different.

I feel what we have is very special

and I just can't wait for our life
outside this retreat.

Oh, shit. Oh, shit.

[chuckles softly]

I'm really proud of you, Christine.

Everything Christine's saying
does inspire me to just be a better person

and just to move on and keep this
emotional journey going.

On the outside, I didn't wanna have any
emotion or any attachment to any girls.

So I was just a player.

I hurt people because I don't want them
to hurt me,

and going through the date with Linzy

and then seeing how upset Christine got

really made me see that what I do
have consequences.

I never thought
that I would get to know anyone...

Like, it's mind-blowing that I actually
made a relationship with someone

and I actually wanna keep it going.

Because coming in here,
I did not think that at all.

I want to be emotional with you

when we come out
and carry on our relationship

and hopefully we can go further with it.

You may think that what you've been doing
are baby steps,

but I feel like they're big steps.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It is so nice to hear that Louis
has actually realized his growth.

He started off being a player,
and now he talks about his feelings.

So I do hope, outside this retreat,
he can continue growing.

[Matilda] Thank you
for everything you shared.

And Megan, would you like
to come up and share your vows?

[Christine] Let's go, Megan!

Now I've been at the retreat,
I no longer feel second-best,

and a guy not liking me
is not a reflection on me.

Before coming here,
I was, like, the ladies' man,

not really trying to create connections.

What I wanna do after this
is commit to opening up emotionally.

I wanna give, but I also wanna receive
just as much.

Outside of this retreat,
I will learn to tap into my inner strength

and, hopefully,
finding the man that is deserving of me.

You guys have shown me
that I can open myself up

and allow people to get to know me.

[all cheering]

Thank you.

[Elys] Everyone's really comfortable
doing this and I wanna be open,

but I'm so nervous
to open up in front of everyone.

I'm just not sure I can do it.

I was a party girl. I honestly didn't want
anything to do with commitment.

But I'm running away from my issues.
I've learned to face them.

Might go on a few dates after this.
We'll see.

Being a macho-man
is not something I want to be.

I thought that that was the strong
and brave man,

but really being strong and brave
is being vulnerable.

That's what I wanna be
outside of this retreat.

[Yazmin] Beautiful, Bryce!

[Dre] Outside of this retreat,
where I'm from,

I wouldn't cry, I wouldn't be vulnerable,
I wouldn't open up.

I wouldn't tell nobody how I feel.

So this is hard.

It's not easy.
It's not a walk in the park for me.

When I leave here,
I'm leaving a better man.

I'm gonna open up about my feelings.

I'm gonna be honest with others,
including myself.

And lastly, I'm gonna miss
the hell out of you guys.

-[all cheer]
-[Yazmin] Aww, miss you, Hunter.

Elys, would you like to come up
and make your vows?

[Louis] Come on, Elys!

-Come on, Elys!
-Go Elys!

[tense music playing]

Everyone's smiling at me,
looking really proud of me.

However, I feel embarrassed.

It's awkward that I'm having to open up
like this in front of everyone.

-[Louis] Come on, Elys.
-[Megan] You've got this.

[Elys] This is scary.

I mean, I don't know if I can do this.

Do you know what?

Sometimes you need to grow
a pair of balls and get on with it.

So I'm not gonna ruin the moment.

[mellow music plays]

I came here super guarded.

Um, I thought
relationships were pointless.

I gave up on feeling anything.

And to stand here
at the end of this retreat,

-and I really didn't like standing here.
-[women chuckle]

And to say that I'm going home
with a boyfriend,

it feels good.

And I haven't felt like this
in such a long time.

Before coming to this retreat,

I didn't realize how lonely I was.

And how lonely I have been.

And it's only now
that I feel like I'm not lonely,

and I'm leaving with someone.

And now I feel like I've allowed myself
to really love people.

I just feel so lucky.

I just haven't been kind of,
so sure about someone ever.

[Alex] Elys has come so, so far.

When I first met her here,
she was so closed off.

And now, to hear Elys open up
in front of an entire group of people,

it is quite mind-blowing.

I'm proud of you, that takes a lot
to come out there and say that.

Really means a lot and I'm excited for us.

[Megan] Aw!

This is making me want to tell her
I love her even more.

[Desiree] Well, what are you
waiting for, Alex? Do it!

Dre, would you like to come up
and make your commitment?

[Desiree] Oh!
There goes your chance again.

Go on, Dre.

Honestly, I don't know if I can do this.
I'm not gonna lie to y'all.

[emotional music plays]

-[Hunter] Come on, Dre.
-Come on, Dre.

[Bryce] Come on, Dre.

[Louis] Come on, Dre!

Now see, you're doing it to me again.

[Dre] I do wanna show my emotions.

But my whole life I've been told,
"Don't cry. Don't show your emotions."

Like, this is so hard for me.

All right. All right. Um...

[hesitating]

It's all right, bro.

Coming into this retreat,
I ain't gonna cap y'all.

I was a little player. I was treating
women like a piece of meat.

The date with, uh... With Linzy,

it showed me, uh, one big thing
about myself that I did not know,

is I use women as a way to sustain my ego,

which is terrible because I didn't care
about their feelings.

Which is why I broke a rule,
which made me a hypocrite,

which y'all know I hate.

You know what I mean?

Linzy, I'm sorry.
I will never do that again.

So...

Huh...

[emotional song plays]

-[sobs softly]
-It's all right, Dre.

These are genuine, like pain tears.

I just come from a tough family.

My best friend died.

I will never forget going to his funeral
and I was crying,

and my brother said, "Stop crying."

"Be strong. Just keep it in."

-[Louis] Oh, mate.
-So... Oh, fuck.

You got this.

[Dre] Yeah, I'm good.

And so leaving this retreat, I'm like,
I'm real in tune with my emotion.

You know what I mean?
Like, on a whole 'nother level.

Consider the feelings of the person
you sleeping with.

Dre, that is really deep,
but it really shows how far you've come.

Proud of you.

And, um...

The last thing.

Coming in, I was the guy
I would tell my sister to stay away from.

Do not go near any dude that's me.

So it just taught me, so when I go back,

I'ma connect with her, tell her, like...

I now feel comfortable to say
I'm the blueprint of the man

I want you to spend
the rest of your life with.

Oh, that's sick, bro.

I just can't believe
I just did this, yo. Oh, fuck.

-[Megan] Oh, you're great.
-[exclaims]

Well done.

Held it down.

Man, that shit just fucked me up.

For him now to come this far
and be on the journey he's been on

and to stand up there and talk about
being a role model for his sister,

it's amazing to hear.

[Matilda] Thank you so much, guys.

I genuinely feel so touched
by how vulnerable you all got,

just listening to all of your stories.

I hope that you take all the lessons
that you've learned in this retreat

out into the world, and share them
with everyone that you know,

and now we get to celebrate.

♪ Can hear the thunder? ♪

♪ Listen to the thunder around you ♪

[all chattering indistinctly]

Everyone has done so well on this retreat.
Everyone has grown so much.

There's no doubt I've changed,

but Elys has been on the most incredible
journey here.

I feel like I'm my best self around her

and I've completely fallen for her.

Now, I need to tell her
exactly how I feel.

[Desiree] I'm not crying. You're crying.

[rock music playing]

[Desiree] But you need
to pull it together, people,

because Lana is about to announce
her finalists.

[indistinct chatter]

[Courtney] It's our last day, guys!

Yeah!

[Louis] This has gotta be good.

I'm expecting some fat party right now.

[Desiree]
Well, if your idea of a "fat party"

is a dramatic announcement
by an 18-inch cone, you're in luck.

[Lana chimes]

[Lana] Hello, everyone.

[all] Hi, Lana.

Yo, Lana.

Lana, I hope you have
some good news for us.

[all chuckle]

[Lana] The prize fund
now stands at $100,000.

[all cheering]

[Louis] That's a lot of money.

[Yazmin] Theoretically,
a couple should win

because they've made the most relationship
type of connection.

But then, in my head,
it's also a personal journey.

Someone is gonna leave here
emotionally changed and financially.

-[Christine] Yeah.
-[Elys] That's crazy.

[Dre] I got a big family.

I got more siblings than fingers,

so for me and for my family,
it is a life-changing deal.

[tense music plays]

[Lana] Since your arrival in the retreat,
I have been observing your behavior.

-Oh, God!
-[Hunter] Oh, man.

Did anyone else's heart just sink?

[Lana] Your ups and downs...

It's been a hell of a ride.

I'm feeling pretty nervous.

...your mistakes and breakthroughs.

I'm proud of all you lot.

-Me too.
-[Christine] Same.

[Lana] You have all shown impressive
emotional development.

I feel like I'm leaving here
as a brand-new woman.

Lana, I don't want a "however," please.

[Lana] However...

Of course she did.

I told you it was coming.

...I have identified two individuals

who stand out
for their transformative journeys.

And just one of them...

[Louis] Oh!

...will take home the prize.

Whoa!

Oh!

No fucking way.

[Lana] The first finalist is...

Lana, you have put me through tests
that I didn't even know were possible.

Do you know what? Maybe I could win.

Say "Dre." Please, come on.
Say my name. Say my name.

I feel sick to my stomach waiting.
I just really need Lana to tell us now.

We've waited long enough. Haven't we?

[Courtney]
I hope Lana sees something in me.

The growth that I can see in myself
from day one to now

is exponential.

The tension is nuts.

[Lana] ...Elys.

[all cheering]

[Elys] God!

Was not expecting that.

Me? In the final of Too Hot to Handle?

What the... My mind is blown.

Fuck.

[Lana] Elys, you arrived here
focused only on yourself.

I'm someone who needs to be stimulated
at all times.

Righty.

[Lana] You put your needs and desires
above all others.

Honestly, I'm not sorry for that.
A kiss is a kiss.

[Courtney]
My fucking God, are y'all serious?

[Lana] You didn't think
about how your actions...

My decision is Alex.

What?

-...could hurt others.
-We'll share a bed tonight.

It's just fucking muggy.

I'm not the kind of girl
that talks about my feelings.

[Lana] Over time, you learned
to shift your perspective.

I just lost the sense of caring.

[Lana] You sought happiness for others,
and began to open up.

I genuinely am starting to feel
strong emotions for you.

[both groaning]

[Lana] This enabled you to form
a deeper connection with Alex.

-Do you wanna be my boyfriend?
-That's a yeah.

[Lana] With whom you've
embraced commitment.

I haven't felt like this
in such a long time.

I'm leaving with like,
a whole new, like, outlook

on, like, my life.

Shit, I was not expecting that, guys.

-[Yazmin] Really?
-No.

[screams]

I could maybe win $100,000.

What the fuck?

Wow, I'm shocked. Wow.

-You shouldn't be at all.
-I'm happy for you.

-Well done.
-You've come so far.

Fuck.

Elys deserves it more than anyone else.

She's changed more than anyone else here,
and it's got to be her.

I actually am a bit shocked.

Now, who's the second?

[Lana] The second finalist is...

[suspenseful music playing]

I've clearly showed how much
I've grown as a person. Come on, Lana.

Oh, come on. Come on. Who is it?

I feel like I've come so far
in this retreat. I have hope.

[Lana] ...Dre.

-Whoa!
-[all cheering]

-Get in now!
-[Dre] Oh, what?

[Louis] Get in now!

[exclaims]

What?

Eh, what?

[Lana] Dre, you arrived here looking for
shallow hook-ups to boost your confidence.

Hell yeah.

I signed up for sex on a boat.

-[Hannah] What's your type?
-Bad ones.

Oh, the baddies.

Making me horny, as a matter of fact.
Ain't gonna lie.

[Lana] You were obsessed with the money.

Two hundred racks? If there's something
I love more than sex, it is money.

[Lana] And closed yourself off
from making meaningful connections.

Hey!

-[Hannah] Relax.
-Hey.

How much money have we lost?
Does anybody know?

[Lana] And then,
when your ego was bruised...

I felt more of a sexual connection
with Louis.

...you used Linzy for self-validation.

Me and Linzy don't got nothing.

[Lana] However, you realized your error
and confronted the issue head-on.

Again, I just wanna apologize.

I regretted the way
that I went about the kiss.

My ego got the best of me.

[Lana] And from that point forward...

[Linzy laughing]

...you opened your heart to change.

[Dre] Me going out and having sex
with all these girls

to make myself feel good,
and that's wrong.

[Lana] And you have now flourished.

[all exclaiming]

I walked in, the ghoster, the player,

but this retreat has completely
changed my life.

I'm a whole different person.

Whoo!

[exclaims]

[Lana]
Dre and Elys, you are the finalists.

[uplifting music playing]

[Lana] Tonight, one of you will leave
my retreat with $100,000.

[Dre] That's crazy.

That's crazy to hear.

[Louis] I thought I had a chance
to make it to the final,

but Elys and Dre both deserve to win.

Gassed for Dre. I'm so happy for him.

[Lana] Elys and Dre, please make your way
to the dressing room

and get yourselves ready
for tonight's announcement.

-[Louis] Well done.
-[Linzy] Bye.

[Dre] Bye, appreciate you guys.

[Megan] I do feel a bit gutted.

It's a bittersweet feeling though
because I am so happy for Elys and Dre.

I think they both deserve to win.

[upbeat music playing]

I never expected to be in the final.

This is completely surreal.

I'm looking back at myself
from when I first walked in to now

and I've completely changed.

[Dre] Man, this is crazy. I can't believe
I'm the one on the receiving end of it.

I put so much into this retreat.

I put my heart, my emotion,

everything in my body
that I could have gave.

[Lana] Remaining guests,

you have been with Elys and Dre
every step of the way.

[tense music plays]

[Desiree] Uh-oh,
anyone else catch that music shift?

Things are about to get spicy.

Where are you going with this, Lana?

[Lana] Therefore, the decision
for which person will win lies with you.

-[all exclaim]
-[Yazmin] Oh, my God!

That's big.

[Megan] We've got to vote for the winner.

Oh, this is gonna be hard.

Lana's always making the decision,

so it's good that she's letting us vote.

[Lana] It is now time for you
to privately place your vote.

My head's honestly
all over the place right now.

[suspenseful music playing]

I feel like this is the hardest choice
I've had to make in the entire retreat.

[Christine] Elys is in a relationship.
Dre came in single.

They both found their way
on different paths.

My mind and my heart
is battling it out right now.

The Dre I met in day one was a completely
different Dre than I know right now.

He's a lot more compassionate
about how he's feeling.

I think Dre's a whole new man.

[Megan] Elys has made some big moves
in the retreat.

When she came back and said
she'd asked Alex to be her boyfriend,

she's shown a different side to her.

[Louis] I relate to Dre a lot,

and I know how hard it is for him
to open up and talk about things.

I also know that the money
can change his life

and his family's life for the better.

[Alex] Elys, without a doubt,
has overcome more tests.

She was very shy
about expressing how she felt.

Really struggled to really open up.

She's a new woman.

This person has stayed true to themselves.

Stayed true to the process,
and no matter what,

has had the best intentions in mind.

[Bryce] I'm so torn with this vote.
I've been pondering.

[sighs]

This really is not an easy decision.

After a lot of thinking...

For me...

-I am voting for...
-I'll be voting for...

-I am voting for...
-[all chattering]

[Desiree] They all stopped
before finishing their sentence. Weird.

Guess we'll only find out
who wins tonight.

Time for the rest of the gang to ditch
the swimwear and get their glam on.

[upbeat song playing]

-Are you men excited for tonight?
-[Hunter] Hell, yeah.

You're gonna look beautiful.

Everybody's going to be inspired by you.

This is the final night.

-It's mad, isn't it?
-What?

-It's over after this. Hasn't hit me yet.
-[all] Cheers to Lana!

Cheers!

So how you feeling?

I'm nervous. I'm excited,
and at the end of the day,

-whatever happens out there...
-Facts.

I'm happy you're still here with me.

[Desiree] One of these two
is about to be $100,000 richer.

As long as Lana hasn't blown
the prize fund on the retreat glow-up.

This will be the last time
we hear from Lana.

[all agreeing]

I'm nervous sitting here, I could only
imagine how they're feeling.

-[Linzy] I know.
-I know!

Can you imagine what's going on
in their heads?

I'ma go ahead and tell you
how proud I am of your journey.

And when I found that you asked Alex
to be your boyfriend,

I was like, "Whoa!"

Aw, Dre.

It's just crazy to be in the final two,

I can't really
get my head 'round it still.

Forget about the money,
I'm leaving with a boyfriend,

and a changed version of myself.

Obviously, I'd rather leave with $100,000.

But if I don't, I'd be so happy for Dre.

It was sad not to see you kind of find
a genuine connection with someone.

-Right.
-But for you to take that on the chin,

and then to see you, like, just open up

and today your words really moved me.

And I am so happy that it's you and me.

I'll tell you I won't have it
any other way.

-I ain't gonna lie.
-Let's cheers to that.

I'm telling you. Boom.

I'd love them both to win,

but I would also love
a little pocket money myself.

[all laughing]

You've only been going out for a day.
Calm down.

Ain't gonna lie,
my stomach is in my ass right now.

[Dre] $100,000 would change my life,
but it's not even about me.

I got a family who is not
in the same position.

That don't have the same opportunities
like everybody else.

I'm going to help out everybody I love.

Let the best woman or man...

Win. Thanks.

[Desiree] You know what that means.

It's sexy slow-mo o'clock.

[intense music playing]

[Elys] My mind is just going
100 miles per hour.

[Dre] I can hear my heart beat.

[all cheer]

Oh, my God!

Oh!

[Linzy] They look amazing.

Oh, my gosh,
they look beautiful right now.

Are you guys excited?

[Linzy] Yeah, I mean...

Whoo!

Ooh! I'm feeling it.
I'm feeling it. I am feeling it.

-I'm panicking right now.
-No, you're good.

Boy, when I tell you, I don't know
what the hell to feel right now.

Yeah, I'm just really speechless.

[all chuckle]

I'm shitting it, but I do feel like
whoever wins deserves it.

We have both been on
really amazing journeys.

I came here being quite blunt and harsh,

and now I'm going home a lot kinder.

I can't even imagine
how you're feeling right now.

[Lana chimes]

[Lana] Good evening, everyone.

-[all] Hi, Lana.
-Good evening, Lana.

[Lana] During your time at my retreat,

you broke the rules 15 times.

[all laughing]

[dramatic music playing]

[Lana] Recorded the longest kiss
in Too Hot to Handle history.

Twelve minutes and 31 seconds
to be precise.

[Lana] And a certain someone

did something to a banana

that was very, very naughty.

Oh, my...

Lana, let's step outside this retreat.
I'll show you how to work that banana.

[Lana] Over the course of your stay,

I have also observed people commit
to the process

and ultimately make a significant change.

Finalists, your fellow retreat guests

have been voting
for which one of you should win.

The time has come to announce the winner.

[music stops]

Elys and Dre, please stand up.

-[Dre grunts]
-[Louis] Good luck, bro.

[Lana] The votes have been counted.

And only one of you can check out

with the $100,000 prize.

Whoo! [exhales heavily]

[suspenseful music swells]

[Lana] The winner is...

Wow.

[exclaiming]

This is it.

Come on with it.

Oh, my God.

Come on, Dre. You're my boy. You got this.

It's mad.

[Alex] My gut is saying it's gonna be Dre,

but I'm literally praying
it has to be Elys.

People like me, we don't see 100K in life.

[Elys] My head is literally spinning,

but I don't think it's me.

[music stops]

[Lana] ...Elys.

[all cheering]

-[Dre] Come here.
-Oh, my God!

-[Louis] Oh, my days.
-[Alex] Oh, my God.

Me! [laughs] What?!

[laughter continues]

I could have done a lot with that money.

But I couldn't be happier for Elys.

[Yazmin] Love you.

[Christine] Oh, my God.

I have just won $100,000.

That is mind-blowing.

I don't know what to say, where to look.

I don't know what to do.

I want to take my clothes off,
to be honest. I don't know why.

[Desiree] Girl! You earned that nudity.
You can do what you like.

I was not expecting this to happen to me,

and this is just, like,
seriously humbling.

This retreat has literally changed my life

and $100,000 is life-changing.

Oh, my God.

[Dre] It is.

[Elys] This money is gonna change my life.

I have so many ideas
what I could do with $100,000,

but my number one thing
that I'd like to do is pretty crazy.

♪ If you can dream it ♪

♪ You can achieve it ♪

♪ Just believe it ♪

Would you like to split the money with me?

[all cheering]

[screams]

Girl power!

This is such a beautiful gesture.

Obviously, it shows that you were
well-deserving of the money.

Fifty grand to anyone is incredible,

but to Dre, I remember him telling me
about his family members, his mom.

I mean this, it's amazing.

Oh, snap!

[excitedly] Oh!

Hold on.

She is a beautiful, kind soul.

Elys, I love you.

You have single-handedly changed my life

and allowed me to give my family
their best life,

but she has a special place in my heart
and I love you.

You're a gem. A beautiful gem.
You're a hidden jewel. Straight up.

We probably wouldn't have had $100,000
without you being Detective.

-So...
-[Dre laughing] Thank you!

And I did spend a lot of that 200K, so.

[all laughing]

-$50,000.
-$50,000.

[cheering]

[both chanting] $50,000. $50,000. $50,000.

[Lana] Congratulations.
My retreat rules no longer apply.

[joyous screaming]

[Desiree] Rules no longer apply?

Take cover y'all,

there's about to be a whole lot
of bodily fluids flying around.

Honestly, the first person I grabbed
was Courtney.

[mimics kissing]

Come here, Louis, let's kiss, baby.

[fireworks crackling]

[Christine] Even though
we didn't win $100,000,

I got the finest one on this retreat.

I've got the finest girl on this retreat.

I wouldn't want to leave with anyone else
other than you.

-You have a crush on me?
-God... [indistinct]

[Desiree] Okay, Alex, it's now or never.
Tell the girl how you feel.

I just wanna say that I love you,

and I'm just so proud of you and...

I love you.

[chuckles]

-I love you, too.
-Really?

[Elys] Yeah,
I was not expecting you to say that.

-I love you so much.
-Oh, my God.

[Desiree] Ah! I love a happy ending.

And, Dre, why don't you tell us
all the amazing ways

you're gonna use your $50,000
to help the people you love?

Detective Dre has left the building.

When I get back to Atlanta,

I am ready to get loose with a cowboy hat
and a straw as a toothpick,

go to a strip club.

Say, "Come here.
Let me holla at you right quick."

"You, you, get in my bed."

[Desiree] Make it rain, Dre. Make it rain.
