Temptation Island (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 11 - Final Bonfire - Part 2 - full transcript

Previously on...

All through
this whole experience,

I feel like it only brought me
closer to my girlfriend,

and I'm just ready to give her
all of me.

But, like, it's time.

To that. That's huge.

I definitely feel like
I was meant to be here.

Otherwise, my life would have
just been, like,

in a stagnant place.

I love Javen, but I could maybe
see myself with Justin.

It's like I almost feel like
he never loved me.



But I have to, like...
- Do you really feel that way?

How could you be in love with
someone and do this to them?

- I don't like this.
- Baby, do you have faith in me?

I felt like
I was going to be judged,

and it creates this weight
on my shoulders.

As you should have a weight
on your shoulders.

I feel any woman should know,
"Hey, you know,

my guy's in the room."
I want respect.

Nicole, you've come
to the decision

that you'd like to leave
the island alone?

Yes.

Everything's gonna be
okay. I just...

didn't think it would be
hard to break someone's heart

that said they still loved me.



My mission was to show you

that I was a loyal guy,
and I was up until I saw you

get in bed with...
I think his name's Johnny,

and that destroyed me.

It was embarrassing to...
To see that.

You're not gonna tempt me.

I think that you are
an amazing, amazing man.

Um, you're... you're so sweet
and you're so kind,

and you're so funny, and, um...

but, you know, sometimes I...
I feel like

I have to, like, kind of
baby you a little.

I kind of have to mother you
a little.

I feel like I have to kind of

maybe pull ambition
out of you a little.

Um, you make me
not want to have kids.

Okay.

So you both had a chance
to speak,

and I can see how difficult
that is,

but you were both being
very honest with one another,

and it's important.

So now comes the question
that you arrived with,

the one question we're trying
to find the answer for.

So I'm gonna ask you each
what your decision is,

and it can be one of
three different decisions.

It can be "Let's work this out.
Let's leave together,"

or you may want to leave alone,

or you may want to leave
with someone else, okay?

John, I'm gonna let you tell
Kady what you've decided first.

Um, I feel like I made
a connection with Katheryn,

but, you know, I can't just
let my heart leap

from loving one person
to another,

um, so I just... I need this time
to kinda heal, and, you know,

I do love you,
and I want the best for you.

I want you to be happy.
- Same.

And if I can't provide that,

then we do need to go on
our separate ways.

So to be clear, you'll be
leaving the island alone?

- Yes.
- Okay. Thank you, John.

Kady, your chance to tell
what you've decided.

Yeah, I mean, I think,
you know, with the clarity

that I've received here,

I think it's best that,
you know, we leave single.

I still respect you.
I still love you.

I still want us to have dignity
for one another,

and, you know, handle things
like mature adults.

Um, and so, yes,
I'm leaving single.

So both of you will be
leaving the island alone.

Yes.

Do you have regrets
for having come here, Kady?

- Not at all.
- John?

I think that we both learned
a lot about each other

and the things we struggle with
and that this is gonna be

one hell of a lesson learned,
for sure.

Yeah.

I think you've both
gotten answers.

You've spoken to each other
with dignity.

Breakups are never easy,
and my only hope

is that by choosing to go
separately home now,

that you save yourself pain
that could come down the line...

- Absolutely.
- And maybe other people

involved in that process.
- Right.

- Kady, I thank you...
- Thank you.

For being open
and embracing this experience.

- Thank you.
- And now I'm happy to tell you

that your journey is over.
You can head home.

Okay.

- Bye, Kady.
- Bye.

That was hard.

I wanted to just... I wanted
to hug him and hold him

and squeeze him, but, uh...

Hearing him just say, like,

that he wants a woman
that builds him up

and not tears him down,
and he's so right.

He's so right, and, you know,
it's hard to say goodbye,

but I know
that it's for the best.

- You okay?
- I'm good, man.

Good to hear just
her speaking her truth,

and, you know, I'm gonna
come out of this a stronger man.

This is definitely gonna be
something

that I'm never gonna forget.

It's been one hell of a trip.

John, thank you for being here.

Thank you for being so open,
and I'm happy to tell you

that your journey here is over.
You're free to leave.

- All right, man.
- Thank you, buddy.

- Thank you so much.
- My pleasure.

- Nice meeting you.
- The best to you. Travel safe.

All right. Thank you.

This experience made me
open my eyes to all the issues

that have been going on
with me and Kady,

and a big weight was lifted
off my shoulders

to hear Kady basically say that
I'm just not the guy for her.

I wish she'd have
found that out sooner,

but, uh, you know what?
I hope the best for her.

I hope that she finds
what she's looking for,

and I'm just gonna keep
moving on.

I came here with a mission,
a purpose.

I wanted to show Shari that
I'm different from my past,

and I came and did that.

I can't wait to share
that experience with her.

I know. Aah!

At 16 years old, me and Shari...

I didn't know who I was,
what I was doing.

- Ready to take this on?
- I'm ready.

Especially with, like,
your past,

and, like, everything
that we've been through?

Yeah, my past... that's what
I'm trying to prove,

that I'm different from my past.
- Yeah.

Coming to the island,
I assumed I knew everything

about women
and didn't give people a chance.

Oh, I can't hold hands, though.
I can't do that, but no problem.

Arms. I'll grab you.

I just had to, like,
factory-rest myself and open up

and just get to know
a lot of these women.

- Aah!
- See, that wasn't so bad.

No, it wasn't so bad.

I'm not gonna, like,
jump your bones.

I mean, you're cute,
but, like, come on now.

I put myself out there today
and get to know these women,

but no one came close to Shari.

Shari has a good man,
and she is lucky,

and you should...
- I held it down.

Yeah, you showed me that
there are good men out there.

It's hard to have to trust
each other

at the end of the day,
and I've learned from myself

in my experience
that I can be trustworthy,

and I can meet other women

on a platonic level and open up
and express myself to them,

and same thing goes for her.
I can't wait to see her, period.

Javen, look at this woman
in her face

and tell her how you feel
from the heart, okay?

I'm-a let her know from my soul.

I definitely feel like
I'm leaving this island

with what I came here for.

I've had a wild road,
but I feel like

I was supposed to be here,

and I was supposed
to have this experience.

This whole lineup is horrible
for you guys.

Oh, so you think
it's good for you?

- Are you serious?
- Me and Javen arguing...

I didn't want the first
impression to go this way.

It threw me off.
It really did.

- Story of my life.
- Same with me.

Initially,
I was really closed off.

You've been very, uh, reserved.

Yeah.

But once I just embraced
the process...

Whoo!

I realized how much I can learn
from these amazing people.

I don't wanna fall in love
with nobody

who's not gonna make
my dream come true,

and that's why I'm here.

It forced me to open up
in different ways

that I never thought
were possible.

I feel like now I'm just, like,
learning that

I have to choose my own path
no matter what.

- Absolutely.
- Justin reminds me

about how real
temptation is here.

No matter what,
you gotta listen to yourself

and don't hold yourself back.
- Yeah.

I definitely made
emotional connections,

but I'm about to see Javen
for the first time in 30 days,

and I don't know
what I'm gonna do.

So you think you're prepared
for the worst?

Obviously, it's not something
you want,

but if it happens, it happens.

So Kaci and I came here

to strengthen our relationship
together,

to put that stamp of approval
that I could resist temptation.

- Hey, guys, my name's Morgan.
I'm a real estate agent,

and when I find
something I like,

I know how to close the deal.

She's cute.

She's very cute.

I came here looking for answers,

but these were not the answers
I was expecting.

The chemistry between Morgan
and I is to the point of, like,

scaring the shit out of me.

I knew you were trouble!
I knew it. Golly!

Never in my wildest dreams
did I thought

that I would be resisting
falling in love.

I thought I was gonna come here
and be tempted

and maybe realize that I just
wasn't supposed to be with Kaci,

not actually meet the person

that I might wanna be with
forever.

I can't imagine life
without Morgan now,

but I don't wanna hurt Kaci.

I don't wanna do anything
like that.

You've gotta literally
move someone out of your life

that's been there
for nine years.

No matter what I decide to do,
it's going to be heart-breaking.

It just... It just hurts, man.

Evan and I have been together
almost 10 years,

and we're just kind of stuck
in one spot.

Take advantage of it.
Do what you gotta do.

Figure it out.
- Do what you gotta do.

- I love you. Mmm!
- I love you.

Me and Evan came in
on such a good note.

I didn't think we could start
this journey any stronger.

Ohh!

Once I got here,
it really hit me hard

how in love with Evan I am.

I just, like, had an epiphany.

The few things that
are, like, issues

with me and Evan are so small.

Like, they're so small
and so stupid.

This is someone that I've lived
my entire youth with.

Like, I don't wanna cry,

but since I was, like,
19 years old,

this is someone I watched
play basketball in high school.

Like, we have a life.

If I don't...
Get my shit together

and let it go,
I am gonna lose him.

It's like the hardest lesson

I think I've ever learned.

Yeah, but everything
that's really hard

is worth it in the end.
- Exactly.

I learned that you can't put
pressure on someone.

You just gotta be ready
when they're ready,

and, like, love is enough,
and he didn't wait for me

to tell him all those things,
and it's really sad.

Like, I only have eyes
for you right now.

Like, it's bottom line.
- So you're in it?

I'm literally being tortured.

He's let this experience
just send him in a whirlwind,

but I know exactly what
I need to say,

and I know what I want,

even though he's kinda
breaking my heart.

I've opened my heart up
to someone else other than Kaci.

I have no regrets
in this entire experience,

but I've loved this girl
for so long,

it's going to be
a very, very difficult night.

I am nervous to see Evan.

I'm hoping that he's strong
and he keeps his promises,

and he's loyal...

and he realized, like,

that what we have is, like,
way more special

than a random girl,

and we go home,
and, like, clean slate,

and just, like, really do this
the right way.

I'm gonna be really vulnerable,

and I'm gonna lay it
all out on the line.

He's gonna know he hurt me.

He's gonna know
that he's throwing away

something really special,

and I really think if I do that,

there's no way he's gonna be
able to walk away from me.

- How you doing, my friend?
- We'll see. Hanging in there.

- Okay. Have a seat.
- Okay.

Oh, Jesus.

How you feeling?

- Scared.
- Scared?

You've had time to reflect
and get yourself prepared?

- Yeah.
- Are you feeling prepared?

I mean, I'm as ready
as I'll ever be.

All right, well,
let's get to it.

Oh, God.

I'm gonna bring Evan in
right now.

You haven't seen him in a while.
- Oh. Oh, God.

Okay. Here we go.

Oh, my God.

- Hi, Mark.
- Hi, Evan. How are you, buddy?

I'm all right.

Hi, little bird.
- Hi.

This is your final bonfire.

This is what this whole
experience has led up to,

and this is the chance
for one of you to speak

and have the other listen.

Kaci, I'm gonna start with you,

and this is your chance
to talk to Evan,

tell him all
about your experience,

what you've learned,
and how you're feeling.

Okay?
- Okay.

Um... we, like,
came into this,

like, so strong and, like,
so connected.

And if someone were to tell me

how this was gonna go,
like, I honestly feel

I would have told them
they were insane.

Watching your bonfires,
I literally...

couldn't
even watch some of them.

You were in bed
with another girl.

I don't understand how you
could just do that to me.

It feels like you threw
our whole life away

for this random girl.

You're a piece of shit scumbag.

And you really broke my heart,

and I've literally been crying
this entire time.

But even though
I've been crying,

I've been praying for you
and I've been praying for us.

I wish I could really go back
in time

and take back all the ultimatums

and all the pressure
I put on you.

And I really regret, like,
not giving my full heart to you,

and I'm like...
really in love with you,

and I'm really sorry
for pressuring you.

That's all I have to say.

All right.

Thank you, Kaci.

Evan, now it's your turn
to tell Kaci your thoughts

and how you're feeling.

First, hey, little bird.

- Hi.
- Missed you like crazy.

Okay?

It's been such
a crazy, crazy ride here.

We both came into this

with questions
about our relationship.

I needed to prove
not only to you but to myself

that I had the fortitude
to resist temptation.

But never in my wildest dreams
did I think

that I would come here to resist
falling for someone else.

And in the distance
that I've had with you,

I found clarity.

And no matter how much
I love you,

I've opened my heart up
to someone else.

Our trials and tribulations
that we've gone through

have weighed so heavy on me.

My little bird...

Don't call me that.

- I know it's hard.
- Don't call me that.

- But you have to just listen.
I understand,

but you have to listen
right now. We'll have a chance.

I'm done, Mark.

You came here
with a question, you guys.

The ultimate question... am I
with the one I need to be with

for the rest of my life?

And now's the time
where each of you

make your decision
and tell the other.

Do you wish to leave together,
do you wish to leave alone,

or do you wanna leave
with someone else?

Kaci? What's your decision?
What do you wanna do?

I'm committed to him.

This is someone that is
the love of my life,

that I have a life with.

And I wanna go home
and fix what we can fix.

- Okay.
- This is our life.

- You wanna leave with Evan?
- Yes.

- You're committed to him?
- I'm committed to him.

Okay. Evan, now it's time for
you to tell us your decision.

Do you wanna leave with Kaci,

as she has expressed
wanting to do with you...

Will you be leaving alone,

or you'll be leaving
with someone else?

Mark, I'm leaving
with someone else.

- Okay.
- Oh, my God.

How?

How could you do this?

This is what you do.
You're impulsive.

I finally have clarity.
I can see.

Knowing full well all my demons,

everything I have in me,

and you pushed me
into the corner for years...

Years and years.

But I came here,
and I got clarity

because I don't wanna do that
anymore.

I can't handle that anymore!

But how can you just
give up on us?

I... You think... You think
I'm just giving up?

Why can't you give me a chance

to, like, prove to you
that I've learned these things?

Kaci, that is... it is late.

I've needed that for so many
years. Are you kidding me?!

Why can't you just...

- I've needed that!
You couldn't give it to me!

I know... But I'm
telling you I'm gonna do it.

It's... No. No.

So you're gonna break
all your promises,

tell your family
you left me here,

everything that you promised me,

that my heart and my soul
is safe with you,

that you'll never leave me,
I'm your forever?

How could you do this to me?

- Kaci.
- How?

Kaci...

it's not doing this to you.

You're never gonna see me again.

It's not doing this to you.

I'm not going to rob you
of another second.

- You're not robbing me.
I wanna go home and fix this.

No, you have made... You have
given me so many ultimatums,

so much time. It's a timetable.
- I wanna take them off.

You took them back
the night before we got here!

This is you being impulsive
and not thinking straight, Ev.

Mark spoke of
lightning in a bottle

when we got here.
Do you remember?

Through this process,

I understand what he meant
by that.

You don't know when
or where it's gonna strike.

But it struck me here
on the island.

Now I don't want you to think
that Morgan is some temptress

that stole me away from you.

Okay?

I'm a man exercising free will,

and I stand by all
of the actions I've committed

and everything that I've said,

and I know that in turn
it hurts the girl that I've...

nurtured, cared, and loved for
what feels like my entire life.

I don't know who you are.

I loved you
with all my heart and soul.

And I loved you.

I was gonna do what
I needed to do.

I needed you to do it years ago.

I'm telling you
I'm going to do it.

Please.

Please believe me. Please.

I needed this so long ago.

Evan, I'm begging you.

Evan, please.

- Kaci, you know...
You know what...

Please don't give up on us.

You... You know
more than anyone else

what I've...
What I've gone through.

You know what's going on
with me.

- Please.
- And you just let it go.

And you still did...
- No, I'm not.

- And you still didn't...
You didn't care.

- I did.
- You didn't care for years. No.

- Please.
- Mark.

- Okay. Kaci.
- Oh, my God, Evan.

Why are you doing this? Please.
- Hold on.

- I'm sorry.
- Hold on.

- Please, Evan.
- Kaci.

Why? Please, please, please.

Kaci, I know this is
your worst nightmare.

I'm literally
living this nightmare.

I know what you've shared, but
I need to tell you something.

I need you to know
that I know...

that you're be okay

on the other end of this...
- Please don't do this to me.

And that your future is
something you don't even know.

It could be far greater than
what you're fighting for now.

I know,
but he doesn't understand

that I've had a serious change,
Evan.

Kaci, unfortunately,
sometimes when we make changes,

it's for the next relationship.
- I don't want anyone else.

I know, and I'm feeling for you,

and I wish there was something
I could do to make this better.

- I don't want anybody else.
- But, Kaci,

your time on the island is done.
Your journey is over.

- Evan, this is wrong.
This is wrong.

No, I don't want anyone
touching me.

Okay.

Evan, this is wrong.

It's too little, too late.

Oh, my God.

No, this is crazy!

He says that he's gonna
be with her!

How is this real?!

No, like, this is a joke.
This has to be a joke.

This honestly... it really has
to be a joke.

I'm like, am I ever
gonna see him again?

How is this happening?

Like, he's my best friend.

I'm losing my best friend
in the whole world.

Like, he was my home.

I lost my home, my best friend,

but I don't understand how
he could do this to me.

Like, he promised. He looked me
in my eyes and he told me

there's no way that he can
do this to me,

that he would never blindside me
again ever.

And I came here to fix us.

I just cannot believe
he threw our whole life away.

He's, like, he threw
our whole life away

for someone he doesn't
even know.

It's not for me. It's for us
so that she can have a life.

I'm not gonna take any more time
from that girl.

No matter how much we love
each other,

I'm not the one for her.

Are you feeling regret, relief?

What do you feel?

I've had... zero regrets
this entire experience,

except for maybe sending her
a video.

But I just couldn't fathom
saying what I needed to say

in 30 seconds,
so I couldn't send it,

but I stand by every single
statement I have uttered

and every single action...

that I committed.

We decided to come here
and truly give this 100%,

and I don't know how to go 80.
I don't know how to go 90.

I gave it 100.

I can't just sit back
and let things happen anymore.

I'm not going to do that,

and I'm... I'm going to be
proactive,

and I'm going to, you know,
she's...

She's amazing.
She's my best friend.

I just... I just lost
my best friend.

Let's turn the page a second

past this pain,
past this moment,

and what's...
now in front of you.

You found someone who seems
to support you

in all the ways that you've
been dying to be supported.

How do you feel about Morgan
and going on from this point?

I've been torn because I know
I'm so happy and excited

for the future for me,
but I understand in turn

that's... that's ripping
her heart out, and, uh...

Listen... you're gonna have
feelings about that,

responsibility, guilt,
whatever those are

that you're gonna have
to process.

I wanna acknowledge something.

You came to the island.
Many girls found you attractive.

You were the first one
to find a connection

and never wavered.

That's... falling in love.

So your journey here
is almost over, Evan...

but not entirely.

There is someone
who is dying to talk to you.

Oh, please.

- And that's Morgan.
- Oh, please.

And if you would like
to talk to her,

she's right down that path,

and you can head there and have
a conversation with her.

- Thanks, Mark.
- All right, pal. Be well.

Oh, look at you.

- Thank God you're still here.
Come here.

- Hi. Oh, my God.
I am so happy.

I told you. I told you
I wouldn't let you down.

I'm so happy.

I'm so happy.

I had a billion doubts tonight

that Evan was not going to be
with me tonight

until I saw him.
I literally was so excited.

He's actually sticking to this,
and he knows what he wants,

and I love that.

- Are you taken?
- Mm-hmm.

Oh, my God.

- Oh, I've missed you, girl.
- I missed you so much.

- It's okay.
- Were you still worried?

I told you I wouldn't leave...
- Like, literally,

I've just been, like...

like, freaking out, yeah.

That's so hard,

but, like...

you couldn't help, like,
who you fall in love with.

Morgan...

I love you.

And I know it's crazy
'cause it's so fast,

but when you're in it,
you just know.

I need you to know that
I love you, okay?

I love you, too.

- Let's get outta here.
- Let's do it.

I never thought
in my wildest dreams

that I would be leaving with...
I mean...

I mean, look at this girl.
You know, I...

It's so much more than...
so much more than I ever wanted.

- I'm so happy right now.
I can't even...

- I wouldn't change a thing.
- I can't even deal right now.

I'm so happy.
- I wouldn't change a thing.

Wouldn't change a thing.

Unbelievable.

Oh, my God. Get over here.

I'm so... happy.

Morgan just makes me feel things

that I've wanted to feel
with Kaci but never had,

and I know it's so fast,

but you don't get to choose
who you fall for.

Not close enough.

Morgan's awakened something
inside me,

and she will make me the man
that I've always wanted to be.

I'm so happy. I am so pumped.

- I'm so excited.
I'm going to have the chance

to see my baby girl, Shari.
I have a lot of things

on my mind, a lot of things
I wanna say to her,

I wanna hear her out,
hear her experiences,

but most importantly,

I wanna see her, hold her,
and feel her touch.

Dang, this is gonna happen.
I'm gonna see her.

It's been so long.

I feel like I'm
a way different person.

As an individual,
I know what I want.

Hopefully, she'll accept me
for who I am,

how much I've grown. I can't
wait to share that with her.

I came to the island because
I wanted to

ultimately test Javen,
but I feel like

I found a lot more about myself.

I've changed as a person.

Time apart from Javen has
just shown me that, like,

I don't have to rely
or be co-dependent on anybody,

but when I see Javen,
I don't know what I'm gonna do.

I'm just... I'm really confused
right now.

Hi, Mark.
- How are you?

- Good. How are you?
- I'm good.

- Here we are.
- I know.

How you feeling right now?

Um, I feel like
I'm in such a different place

than I was when I started,

and I'm just ready to see Javen

and just see where his head
is at.

- Nervous?
- Um...

naturally, yes, but, um,

I'm just so ready to just
figure things out

and just move forward.

- So should we do this?
- Yes.

Okay. I'm gonna bring
Javen out right now.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Javen?

- My baby girl.
Oh, my God, you look so good.

You're golden.

Looking like a Greek goddess.
- It's been forever.

Can I just get some love?

Ah, I'm sweating by the back
of my knees, my ankles.

- Yeah?
- Look at you. You look refined.

- Yeah.
- You're sharp.

- Goddamn, girl.
- Javen, how are you?

- I'm doing great. I feel good.
- Here we are.

Final bonfire. Here's a chance
for one of you to speak

and have the other one listen.

Shari, I'm gonna start with you.

Tell Javen all about your
experience here on the island.

Okay?
- Do I... Do I face her?

- Yeah, if you'd like.
I would if I were you.

This my girlfriend.

I mean, to start off,

my experience has been
so up and down.

At first, I, like, wanted to go
home after the first bonfire.

Like, I was going through
a lot emotionally,

and I just learned a lot
about myself.

I feel a lot stronger
just as an individual,

and, um, I feel like I'm in,
like, such a different place now

and I've just grown so much.
I feel a lot more grounded.

I do put up a wall, and, like,
I am real...

I could be really cold,

and those are certain things
that I wanna change.

I definitely feel like, um...
I just want

our lives to be different.

All right, Javen,
now it's your turn.

Tell her about your experience,

what you've learned
about yourself,

and what's in your heart.

Coming to this experience

was a true test for me
to show you my loyalty,

my love and devotion
towards you.

You know, before we got here,
all we knew was each other.

We didn't focus on us
as individuals,

you know, who we are,
who we was,

and it was a struggle, you know?
It kinda reached a point

where we just...
it got very passionate.

We'd just argue because
we struggled to figure out

who we were.
- Yeah.

Coming to this experience,
I got the chance

to get to know myself
and figure myself out.

I was struggling at first.

- It was rough.
- Me, too.

- I was like, "Don't touch me.
Get away from me."

It was a lot.

You were always on my mind.

Not a second, minute, or hour

or day went by
I didn't think about you.

I just can't...
I just told myself,

"I can't wait to see this girl

"and give her all I have
and show her how new

and better I am."

I love you, baby girl.
You are something special.

Well, we've got some business
to take care of.

Javen, we'll start with you.

You can tell Shari
what you've decided.

Do you wanna leave together?
Do you wanna leave alone?

Or have you found somebody you'd
like to leave the island with?

Whenever you're ready.

Coming here,
I put myself out there.

I got to know people
in a platonic way.

I made a lot of friendships
and developed some connections,

but nothing came nowhere near
close to you.

I can't even think
about giving myself

to anyone else on this island
or anyone up here but you.

I'm leaving with you period,
okay?

Well, we gotta hear

what she decided.
- I do.

Shari, do you wanna leave alone,

do you wanna leave together,

or is there someone else
you'd like to leave with?

Um... I've made a lot
of friendships here,

and I feel like I've connected

and seen things
from other life perspectives.

I feel like I'm in, like,
such a different place now,

and, um...

I definitely feel like
I've grown a lot on my own,

and I want to...

um...

I want us to both have
our own lives.

Shari, do you wanna leave alone,

do you wanna leave together,

or is there someone else
you'd like to leave with?

Um...

I want us to both have
our own lives.

Um...

I feel a lot stronger
just as an individual,

and I feel like it's okay
for you to have female friends.

It's okay for me to have
male friends.

I definitely feel like
I wanna leave together

and, like, I don't know.

I just feel like I almost wanna,
like, re-date each other

and, like, just be better,
stronger together, and, um,

I've kind of been pressuring you
into being this person,

and I feel like I want you to be
who you wanna be.

Shari and Javen, I'm sure
you have a lot to talk about.

If you head up the path, you can
take a moment to do that.

All right, baby girl.

Thank you, Mark, for everything.

- Thanks, Mark.
- All right, you guys have

a nice conversation, and I'll
check with you in a few minutes.

Okay? All right.
- Yeah, Mark.

Oh, my God. I'm with you.
- I know. It seems like...

- Whoa, what the...?
- It's weird.

This shit was crazy.

I love Shari to the moon
and back.

Our love's bent time and space.
We are...

I don't know. I love
the heck out of that woman.

That's my baby girl.
She is something special to me.

Baby, come sit right here.

I just wanna have a little talk
with you.

Look at you.
You look great.

You know, coming here,
I had a question.

- What?
- You know, I wanted to see

if you're the woman I wanna be
with the rest of my life,

and I found that answer.

Am I?

Ooh.

I wanna spend the rest
of my life with you.

- Me, too.
- Like, forever.

- Baby girl.
- Stop.

For real?

I want you to be my wife.

Oh, my God.

Will you marry me?

Yes! Of course.

Oh, my God. Javen.

- Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God!

- You're amazing.
- I wanna give you my last name.

I wanna be a different person
for you.

I wanna be
lighthearted and open.

I feel like you deserve that.

Come over here.

This has been one
of the longest,

toughest experiences
I've ever gone through,

and the fact that everything
is coming together

in such a beautiful way,
I'm just forever grateful

for this opportunity.

I will never forget this moment.

Is this really happening?
- Yes.

You're so amazing.

I love you.

- Oh, my God.
- I'm so happy.

- Hi, you guys.
- Oh, my God.

Mark!

I just happen to have
a bottle of Freixenet

and three glasses.

- I think it's time for a toast.
Do you agree?

- Yes, 100%.
- Congratulations.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

- Oh, buddy, congratulations.
Here. Take a glass.

Oh, my God.

To my... fiancée.

- We're engaged.
- We're engaged.

- Mmm!
- Mmm!

I'm happy to be alive.

I'm happy to be reunited
with my baby girl.

- Me, too.
- You are everything

I asked for and more.
Uh, goddamn, girl.

Watching this transformation
has been unbelievable.

So I'm gonna offer
your first toast

as an engaged couple.

- Whoo!
- Oh, my God.

- How does that sound?
- You are my fiancée.

You're my person.

He's just my person.

I love you to the moon and back.

- Same.
- Mmm.

Show me to my chamber.
I need to handle some business.

So on behalf of myself
and everybody

at "Temptation Island,"
we wish you

years and years of happiness,

and we look forward to seeing
what the future has for you two.

- Thank you so much.
- Cheers.

- Excited?
- Yeah.

Since leaving the island,
life has kind of...

gone back to normal-ish.

Now we have a wedding to plan,

and I feel like
it's gonna be fun.

So you're okay
with a $300,000 wedding?

They costing me.
They in my pockets already.

Planning this wedding's
gonna be a battle.

I know Shari. She's very picky.

- It feels weird.
- Ew.

She's like a perfectionist.
- I actually really love this.

I wanna marry Shari within
the next six months, honestly.

- Yeah, that's how I feel, too.
- Yeah.

- Beautiful.
You guys look amazing.

"Temptation Island"
taught me how to develop

platonic relationships
with other women.

For both of us,
we kinda needed to see

how we are
without each other around,

and I think that it made us
stronger as individuals

so that we can
be stronger together.

"Temptation Island"...
- Yeah. I'm done.

Was a blessing in disguise
but, like, I literally

don't ever wanna date
anyone else. I'm good.

Yeah, that was more than
enough for me right there.

Yes.

We got the answers
that we needed,

and we feel confident

in continuing our relationship
as a couple.

Ugh!

After "Temptation Island"
when we came back to the house,

I was willing to work
on things with Kady

just 'cause I'm forgiving,

and she was still trying to act,
like, lovey-dovey,

like she cared for me,
and then she's like,

"Hey, so you're gonna be
really mad at me."

And I'm like, "What?"

"Johnny bought me a flight
to New York."

I'm just thinking
I'm such a dumbass

for not putting my foot down
and ending it earlier.

She's gonna go to New York,

expect me to take care
of her cat and dog,

while she's up there
having a good old time.

She's delusional, and I'm like,
"You gotta get the... out."

Ezra did so good
at the dog park today.

- Hi! Awesome.
- I've had a lot of support

from my friends, my family.

My roommate Jennifer
has been a huge help.

I am never gonna date a girl
that brings me down like that.

Whoo!

If any people are out there
and they have

a significant other that just
bring them down like that,

you need to run.

I mean, your person is
out there somewhere, you know?

Me and Katheryn have been
kinda keeping in contact,

just kinda touching base,

but she lives in Nashville.
I live in Texas.

I'm not very good with
long-distance relationships.

I'm just taking it
one day at a time.

I'm trying to lean
on my friends,

and as hard as this experience
was on "Temptation Island"

and breaking up with Kady,

I feel that I have, um,
great plans ahead.

Cheers for John, to health,
wealth, and happiness.

- Wealth and happiness.
- Cheers to that.

And to John's package!

- Cheers!
- Cheers!

I went into "Temptation Island"

hoping that this experience
would give me the answers

on if John was the one for me
or not.

- Your apartment looks good.
It's coming together, baby.

Since John and I lived together,

it made breaking up a lot harder

because I was still
talking to Johnny,

kind of pursuing things there,
and he felt like,

"Okay, that's disrespectful.

You need to get out
of my house."

Johnny and I continued our
relationship after the island.

I flew to New York and saw him.

You know,
I think that the distance

was our biggest factor.

Our romantic relationship
fizzled out,

and now we're just friends.

I'm literally all alone.

You know, I'm 30.
I'll be 31 in a few months.

- I know.
- We were just talking

about that last night. Ugh.
- I know.

And so, you know,
that's really scary for me

to be starting all over
at this age.

I never in a million years
thought that I would be here.

I'm getting a lot of backlash
over things

that I said about John.

I stand by what I said,
and I stand by how I felt,

'cause it's true.

I don't have any regrets.
I don't wanna settle,

and I'm glad that I chose
the path that I've taken.

Even though it was hard
and it was painful,

um, it was the right one.

Being back in Chicago,
I'm just really focused

on doing my music again.

Music has always been
my true love.

I'm gonna be working
on some solo stuff,

so, like, I'm super excited
about that.

Let me just hear it
all together.

After the last bonfire, I was
super shocked with the outcome.

Nicole felt our relationship
was surface level.

Um, that was kind of
a slap in the face to me.

So we both decided to separate,
and I ended up moving out.

It was kind of frustrating,
but I just kept telling myself,

I just need to get back
to doing my thing,

so I have my clients.
I'm training,

building my business
and trying to get out here

and explore, maybe date.

Good.

Brittney and I's connection
was super real,

but I think, you know,
something's still missing,

and for me, dropping everything
and going to L.A.

is just not... it's not
in my plans right now.

Bring your chest out
a little further.

I truly do just wish the best
for Nicole.

At first, I think we kind of
tried to avoid each other,

but, um, it's not an issue
anymore.

There's no bad blood between us,
so... we're cool.

- This view!
- I love it.

Oh, this is what
you've been looking for.

Being back in Chicago,
being a single woman,

there's a lot of things that
I'm just focusing on for me.

I think it's a smart choice,
honey. I mean...

- Yeah.
- I'm proud of you.

You're doing great things.

I'm currently moving out
of my apartment,

and being able to buy
my first home

is just something that I wanna
have marked off my bucket list,

and I can live independently

without having to rely
on somebody else.

I was so sad
when I heard you talk

about the butterfly in the tummy
feeling.

I cried. I was so sad, because
you know your dad and I

dated in high school.

I think that's the guard
and wall that I had up.

At the bonfire when I told Karl
I do wanna go separate ways,

it truly felt like a weight
was lifted off my shoulders,

and I could just be free.

The whole entire
"Temptation Island" experience

opened my eyes, and I learned
way too much to just revert

back into something I was
comfortable with.

Tyler and I are still in touch.

You know, we're just friends
at this point.

Tyler really opened my eyes
to a level of self-worth

that I was kind of lacking
in my relationship with Karl.

But now at this point,
I wish the best for him

and I'm hoping that he wishes
the best for me.

- I am having a girls night.
I just wanted to check in.

I'm single,
and going through a breakup,

you want a new look,
and I just felt like

the long, dark hair...
It's just a new me.

- Oh, my God. Your hair!
- I know!

- Whoa, it looks so good!
- Do you love it?

- Yes!
- I know. I love it.

At first, it was really hard.
Like, I was devastated.

But it's such a blessing,

and I'm very glad he's gone.

Let's go hiking. Come on, baby.

I got Nova to replace him,
and Nova's so much better.

I'm hanging in there.
Life is different.

I'm just sad that you had
to go through that,

but that's what you had
to go through...

- Yeah.
- To figure it out.

He stole 10 years of my life,

like, all my 20s, and he doesn't
even feel bad about it,

so I'm more upset about that.

Like, I haven't received
one "sorry."

Actually, I lied.
I received a DM, and it said,

"I'm sorry for the way things
have shaken out."

That's what
I received after 10 years.

Never, ever did we ever...

ever want you to marry him.

"Temptation Island" woke you up.

- It definitely did.
- Your eyes are wide open and...

- I'm not blind anymore.
- Yeah.

When I think about Evan
and Morgan together,

I think they're in fantasyland.

I think they're really caught up
in the moment.

I think once all of this
kind of settles down,

I definitely think it's gonna
fizzle out for sure.

So you want actual omelet?

- That sounds so good.
I love that you always know

what I want in my eggs.

Ghost, are you happy, buddy?
- He's so sweet.

After the last bonfire
with Kaci,

I, you know, got Ghost
and got my things from L.A.,

and now I'm out here
on the East Coast in D.C.,

and it's, uh, it's been amazing.

- Hello!
- Hi, Ghosty!

- Hi, guys!
- Hi, baby!

Evan, so good to see you!

It's so nice to be welcomed
into a family like hers.

You know, Morgan's parents just
want Morgan to be happy

and to be with someone
that loves her

and will love her forever
and to care for her.

You know,
both of my daughters, I think,

have wonderful men
in their lives right now...

- Mm-hmm.
- That... that we're happy

to have all of you.

You know that means the world.

- We really do.
- And I love you.

- Hi. How are you?
- Hi.

Good evening. Welcome to
Mele Bistro. Follow me.

I know where I wanna be
in 80 years.

Love you.

I know exactly who I wanna
spend every single moment

of my life with,
and it's Morgan.

- Yeah, of course. Yeah.
Oh, my God. Stop.

He's just such
an amazing person.

He's my everything.

Look at it. It's so pretty, Mom.
- So pretty.

- So beautiful. Come on in here.
- Come in here.

I know. I just wanted
the ladies to...

- Hug Mommy.
- Ah, that's awesome.

It's so nice to be welcomed
into a family like hers.

It's just...
It's all I've ever wanted.

I got you, baby.
