Temptation Island (2019–…): Season 4, Episode 2 - Out of Sight, Out of Mind - full transcript

Previously on
"Temptation Island"...

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

What did we just
get ourselves into?

- Just bring it on.
- Bring it on.

We see y'all.

Oh, my God!

Damn, damn.

All right, calm down.

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

You've come here
to embark on a journey

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



Oh, no.

I'm scared that
I might lose this.

12 single men
and 12 single women.

Okay. I'm a little distracted.

Who've all come to
this island to find love...

- Look at that.
- With one of you.

It says rules are
meant to be broken. Am I right?

Whoa.

There is one guy. I thought we
had like the best conversation.

Everything he said was like
everything I wanted to hear.

Like we have a bond.

We're putting everything
on the line. Are you scared?

I am scared.

Now, it's time to say goodbye.



Okay, it's never
gonna get easier, so let's go.

Ladies, take care of each other.
I'll check in with you soon.

I'm very afraid to lose Edgar.

I miss him so much already,

and I'm afraid that just
this experience will teach me

that it's more right
to be alone at 21-years-old.

I cannot believe that I just
sobbed my eyes all like that.

It's okay.

Oh, my God. I need to be hugged,

I need like something to cuddle.

- Hello, hello.
- Hello, ladies.

- Hey, guys.
- Hello, hello, you all.

Wow. I was not
expecting all of this.

Well, here we are.

- Let's do some drinks.
- Yeah.

- Drinks.
- Yeah, drinks, let's go.

All of the guys
just moved in tonight,

and it's definitely
not something

- I'm prepared for, really.
- Cheers.

I also feel like
I need a handbook

with all of their
pictures and names on it

because there's so
many of them to remember.

Hey, if a shirt comes off,
it won't be mine.

Are we gonna get
a little show going on?

I know Iris has
some trust issues with me,

and it's gonna be a make or
break time in our relationship.

Prove to her that
I can be more serious

in just the loving
aspect of things.

I am here to confess

that I think Luke is
the hottest boy here. Okay.

- Oh!
- Oh yeah, who's next?

Who backin' up? Who backin' up?

There's a part of me
that wishes I'm not having...

To not have too much of a good
time too quickly, you know.

I want to, you know,
still think about Ashley,

I don't want to throw
seven years down the drain.

But the same time, I also
want to go on this journey

knowing that I'm doing
this for myself as well.

- Let's get a drink.
- Let's get a drink. Let's go.

Come. Lascelles is really
cute. We call him Las.

We already have a nickname.

Yeah, he's perfect, basically.

You know, you know, I think
you asked for it earlier...

But I like it.

I actually tried
maybe five times tonight

to just talk
to him by ourselves.

Can we join you guys?

We're all
gonna be a fly on the wall

because it seems like
an appropriate...

Every time we sat down,
five girls came,

and I love all the girls
so I can't even get mad,

but like, please,
give me a chance

to talk to this man by myself.

Where are the other boys at?

Come sit, come sit, come sit.

I don't want you to
sit on the floor. Come.

- You sure?
- No, no, no, no, come, come.

No, no, no. You don't
like the ground enough.

Ugh!
I'm trying.

- You checked?
- No, I said "I tried."

- I'm...
- I'm so overwhelmed.

- Yeah, it's like, uh...
- My bad. It's a lot.

Uh, yeah.

Like what does our relationship
look like, you know?

Is it long distance but open?

- Or is it over for now?
- Did you talk about that?

I mean we have been.

She's not stoked about the idea
of an open relationship.

How do you feel about that?

Historically, my dating
has been pretty casual.

The idea of long distance
to me seems really difficult.

And I think, you know, Ash
and I are both physical people

and need that physical
attention from our partner

and if our partner can't be
there to give us that attention,

then we'll seek it
somewhere else.

Well, thanks for understanding.

Oh, my gosh, of course.

Yeah. Well, you're
a therapist and all, so...

Oh, you remember?

How could I forget?

- Yeah.
- You're too good.

Couldn't remember
anyone's names.

Remember, he was like,
"Be nice."

Yes.

You were Braids.

- What was that?
- You were Hocus Pocus.

- Tarzan?
- You were James.

James?

Ah, wait. Wait. Wait.

This is actually
like an honest question.

What does love
mean to you? Yeah.

It's more than just
the word, it's like a feeling,

but like a deeper feeling.

It's anything you want it to be.

That's why I'm asking you
what is it to you?

I felt like Mike was
definitely asking me those deep,

emotional questions that
I've never been asked in my life

or Lascelles has never
asked me these type of questions

and it really, you know,
had me like, just mind blown.

I'm like, "All right,
what really makes me happy?

"What is love?"

Kinda forgot why there
was the connection instantly,

not a connection
after four days,

like a connection
within like three minutes.

It's almost like I've
seen you before or something.

It's like I think
I've seen you in my dreams.

I said that as I walked by.

It sounds to me

like the one thing that's really
lacking in Ash's relationship

is he doesn't
appreciate her enough.

And I think this experience
might help her realize

that there's a man out there

that could
appreciate her even more.

I feel we've been here for
a while. What do you want now?

Because I could sit
with you here really all night.

I... I love this, I really do.

Yeah. I really felt
like a genuine connection.

Yeah, I do like,
it's... it's tight.

This one actually is
my promise ring with Edgar.

Okay.

Which I really haven't thought
about until just this moment.

He got it for me
after he cheated on me.

Like I don't know

if I will continue
wearing the promise ring,

like what do I... what do I do?

What do I do?
Do I? What do I do?

I mean.

I don't think I have
a reason to take it off yet.

Not yet. In my experience,

dealing with trust issues
is so difficult.

It's hard to heal that wound.
It's like it always is open.

I don't know.
It's really complicated.

- Yeah. Of course.
- It's really complicated.

I'm starting to realize that
nothing's really been the same

since he cheated on me.

I... I did mention
you to Edgar earlier.

I said like I was like,
I feel like there was one person

that I have like a bit
of a connection with.

Hey, let's cheers, shall we?

Yeah.

You have to make eye contact
or else bad sex for seven years.

Yes. that's special.

She's the one
that brought us here.

Because she has always
have the doubts of like,

wanting to be single
and alone and independent,

you know, in her 20s,
which I totally respect.

But...

I would marry her
if we were both sure.

Right.

I don't think
she would marry me.

If you're
not receiving that love

that you feel like you deserve,
and you want to give to her,

then I don't think that's fair
for you to have to suffer

and like feel less than

because, you know,
she's in a different spot.

As much as you
want it, you know,

this just may be time
for you to kind of

explore other options, you know.

Yeah.

You know?

I got to see
a very vulnerable side of Edgar,

and, you know,
it really resonated with me

and touched my heart

because at first
he was really quiet,

and I can tell
he really loves his girlfriend,

but I feel like he's
a little lost right now.

Just stay true to
yourself, you know.

Which sailboat would you steal?

- Right... right there. That one.
- I don't know why I went...

- The yacht?
- That one right there.

Good to meet another weirdo.

Yes. Yes. Indeed.

I haven't been around
single men in a long time.

This is gonna
sound a little bad.

It takes me a minute
to like have respect for men.

I'm gonna have to ask this.

Have you reached a point
in your relationship

where you've lost
respect for your man?

Um, no.

Is there something
he can do on this island

to make you
lose respect for him?

I mean, if I see him like
having sex with another girl.

- So...
- Keep it in your pants.

Like you know what I mean?

You can have
an emotional connection

- without doing all that.
- Wow. You are not afraid

of a man having an emotional
connection to another woman?

You're not afraid of that?

No, I am. If he comes here
and meets somebody else

and forms a connection and like
wants to leave with them,

like, I will be
very, very heartbroken.

We're college sweethearts
and now I'm scared

that I've taken
our relationship for granted.

I need us to sit down
and talk for a minute and talk.

- Yeah.
- And that I've asked

too many questions
I didn't need to be asked

instead of just accepting
the amazing thing that we have.

He was asking me
about like Edgar

and I was just
super reminded about

like why I love him so much.

I know I feel
so emotional and I just...

Not that I wanna
like crawl in bed and cry,

but I kind of wanna
crawl in bed and cry.

- Aw, babe.
- I know.

I don't want to get
to make up all over you.

It's going to be okay

How was the dinner?

How did it go, saying goodbye?

It was rough, dude.

Like I want to work on myself,

but more than anything, I want
her to answer her questions.

Like, do you want to do
this with me or not, like...

Yeah.

I just... I don't
know how to express it

but I guess it feels like I'm...

She's been
like dragging me along.

It's really nice to meet a guy

and he is genuine and
real about how he's feeling.

- Thanks for talking to me.
- Thanks for talking to me.

You're easy to talk to.

I feel like we're
helping each other.

He's helping me open up

and I'm helping him
through this experience.

Last night was fun.

It was fun.

You know,
you're in this situation,

you used to have your
girlfriends, but it's like,

are you actually interested in
like, really getting to know us

and like really maybe getting
to that point with someone new.

Just because I've been
in the seven year bubble

and all my future is
just with Ash in mind,

and there's
nothing wrong with that.

Yep. And I think that's why

this whole situation
is very interesting

especially for like
longer term relationships

because it's like,
that's all you know.

Yeah. Ash and I have been
together for seven years

and we haven't been
able to date with anybody else.

We wanna be able
to take the next step,

but we just want
to make sure that, you know,

we are the exact right
people for each other.

Who's catching your attention?

Um...

You, of course,
uh, if that's not obvious.

I hope you don't offended, but
you remind me of my girlfriend

because you guys
have a lot of similarities.

But there's also things that
make you stand out

and that I feel
that genuine connection.

Do you already, even though we,
you know, just met a day ago.

- Hello, papi.
- Hola, chola.

- You guys been good?
- I've missed you.

Today is date selection day

and I am nervous as hell.

I'm about to show
Ashley who I'm interested in

and I'm gonna see
what fool she's gonna pick.

Hello everybody.
It's good to see you.

- Hi.
- Hey, Mark.

So, welcome to date selection.

Now's the time to pick a single

you'd like
to get to know better.

Gillian,
we're gonna start with you.

How did I know?

- Hey, ladies.
- Hi.

Be on your best behavior.

Too late.

Tommy, do you wanna
come on a date with me?

- I'd love to.
- Okay. Sounds good.

Watching Gillian pick Tommy,

I think he looks like stupid,

but that's my own perception
of it and I don't know the guy,

so I'm not gonna
speak bad on his name.

Yeah, it's fine. It's fine.

It's just fine.

Well, Gillian,
I let you go first

and I think it's only
fair that I let Edgar go next.

Let's do it.

Gosh, my heart is racing.

Marissa,
will you go on a date with me?

Yes, I would like to.

Thanks.

I don't know if
I feel like threatened by her.,

but I could see him falling for
somebody like that,

like completely
falling for them.

I'm dying right now.

Iris, you thought about this.
It's your turn to make a choice.

Okay.

George, would you like
to go on a date with me?

Definitely. I would love to.

I see Iris picking George

and I'm a little jealous just to
see my girl with somebody else.

It's a hard pill to swallow.

It's scary, man. I feel
like I'm playing with fire.

So, now it's Luke's turn.

Okay. Luke, who's it gonna be?

Let's see.

So many to choose from.

I don't know. But I think
I'm gonna go with Mrs. Juicy.

Let's go.

- Let's go, babe.
- Let's do it.

Being like, "Wow, so
many girls to choose from."

I thought that was kind of rude.

Still love you too

"I love you too."
Like, what do you mean too?

Ashley, your turn.
Who's the lucky guy?

Let's see.

Hm. Mike, would you like
to be my first date?

I'd love to.

Great.

Being that I'm her type,

her pick was interesting
to say the least.

If I could warn the guy,
I would just say

she gets turned off very
easily by over aggressive people

and be respectful.

She's also a very picky eater
so keep that in mind as well.

- Lascelles, it's your turn.
- Let's do it.

I wanna see, baby.

Fellas.

It's gonna be a tough choice,

but Trace, would you
to go on my first date?

She's a baddie.

Seeing Lascelles choose
my twin with the weave

was definitely not surprising.

Cute tall model look,
I see where you're headed at.

So Ash, it's your
turn to make a choice.

Okay. I guess.

Taylor.

I will go with that. Thank you.

I'm a little
surprised by who she picked.

Got this blonde hair and he's
like super fit physique

and like overconfident,
but I'm not worried.

Hania, who is the lucky person

who gets to go
on your first date?

I feel like the lucky one, Mark.

Well said, sir.

Kristen, would you do me the
pleasure of being my first date?

Of course.

Wow. She is beautiful.

She is oh, so stunning.

I could be screwed.

Okay. Your first dates
are set. Have fun.

You can head back to your villas
and I'll see you soon.

- All right.
- Thanks, Mark.

Part of me is starting to panic

because I don't know if I'm not
in front of him, I still exist.

So, I'm nervous but I still hope
that it can be a learning lesson

and maybe I'm wrong.

I was thinking
earlier today about

the first dates I've been on

and sort of that feeling
of like, this is like new.

I was just like,
I wanna go on this date with her

- and so like, hey.
- Hey, pick me.

I'm over here.

When Iris chose me,
I knew we had something real.

She's sweet. She's a kind woman,

and honestly,
I mean, she's beautiful.

So how do you like your meat?

I usually do medium rare
but I'm cool with it any way.

Got you, got you, got you.

So, how do you like your soup?

Well, yeah, I'm vegetarian.

Oh, yeah. Oh my God,
you're the sweetest.

I'm very
comfortable with George.

He's just such a good person.

He cooks for everybody.
He watches out for everybody.

Everyone just
thinks so highly of him.

That is a quality that
I always wanted and deserve.

- It's so good.
- This smells amazing.

- I'm glad you like it.
- It's amazing.

All right guys. Welcome to your
first Temptation Island party,

ignite your sensations.

Thank God. Wow.

All right.
Ladies, have your way with him.

Yes!

Oh my God. This is gonna be
a sticky situation, my friends.

A very, very sticky situation.

Let it rain.

Oh shit. Oh shit.
Oh, oh, oh. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Okay.

Whoa. Oh my God.

Hania, help me buddy.

I can't help you.

What is going on? Oh my God.

This is the sloppiest
first date I've ever had.

I mean,
this isn't even a date though.

It's like party night two

and here we are like licking
chocolate off of each other.

Yes, baby.

All right, ladies.
We're gonna return the fire.

Now, we got the ammo.

No, -.

- There's a little on your face.
- Okay.

Would you like
some whipped cream?

Oh, I'll take a taste.

Wait. Whoever
that was, come back.

I need another one.

We've got chocolate
on our chocolate.

We do.

Now you owe me a hug.

- You feel good?
- I feel sticky.

- Yeah.
- And I feel, um, sweet.

Yes, party in
the shower. Let's go.

Feeling very sticky right now,
for sure. That's nuts.

Okay, boys.
Are you ready to get wild?

Oh my God.

All right everybody.
To a wild night.

I'm really comfortable with you.

Taylor is really funny
and isn't afraid to be a clown

and we kind
of feed each other's weird.

And I'm able to be myself and
feel my flame kind of reignite.

I didn't come here
to steal nobody's love.

I just came here to help people.
I swear to God.

Oh God, there's so many things

that I don't know how
to put to words right now,

but like...

I'm very,
very much in love with Hania.

I am happy for you.

With Hania,
I don't personally know the guy,

but from what I hear,

he's not giving her
everything she needs.

So, I'm gonna make her
feel good about herself

and happy in this
very crazy environment.

I'm not the one with
the open relationship idea,

But, like maybe...
You know what? No. I'm done.

You want to go get
a drink? We should drink.

Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo!

Stop, that's so cold!
I can't even.

You have a... You have
a straight head on, you know?

Oh! That's...
I'm trying to do that later.

You've shown me that
like you were interested.

- You like you gave me the eyes.
- I told you like, yeah,

- I mean.
- You told me, you said...

- I like you and only you. Hi.
- I appreciate that.

- Yeah, so...
- I... I love you.

I love your spirit.
That's what I'm saying,

that's why I think this one on
one time was super essential

because I know you
have a lot to offer.

You know I have been picking up
on, you know, small player vibes

and being overly available.

He's very adamant on
like giving everyone a chance,

which is great,
like we're here to experience

and like, get to know people.
But at the same time, like,

don't try to
make me feel special

if that's the same thing
you're feeding to everyone else.

I'm grown, I know what I want
and it's just like

if we're just
in a situation where it's like,

I'm just testing
the waters, cool.

Make it something like that,
but don't make me feel special

if you're going to go
and tell someone else

the exact same thing.

Yeah, yeah. I'm thankful
that you told me this

cause I can see when you backup
and you're observing how I am.

I might look like a hoe.

- Yeah.
- So you have to tell me.

You gotta tell me
what's okay and what's not.

Because like, I want to
like give people a chance.

You tell me.
Like how do you feel?

I don't know, this is new to me.

I'm really conflicted

because I have my girlfriend
thinking about me.

I have, you know,
Trace thinking about me

and it's like
more pressure to me.

I'm like, just damn man.

I'm gonna do better. I promise
you. I'm gonna do better.

Okay.

She's super attractive,
super pretty, super juicy.

We both have
some unresolved trauma.

But we just need to like,

you know,
I related to you with that.

Me and Luke
have a lot in common.

I could probably talk
to Luke for hours and hours

and never get bored.

We can dig deep for a second.

I told you about my sister.

We like have a lot of issues,

so I always had felt

like I had to be the one
to hold it together.

I feel like it's almost a lost
cause for me a lot of the times.

I'm just like,
dude like, I can't let this...

I can't let these burdens
hold me and weigh me down but...

You have to resolve it
in some way to move forward.

I'm so easily able to
be an open book around her.

She is funny
and weird just like me.

And when I get
that kind of vibe,

I know I can
open up to that person.

Can I ask you, do you guys
have any rules with each other?

Um, we don't really have any
rules other than be respectful.

You know, I think there's like
a little bit

of maybe an unspoken rule.

Like, don't have sex
with anybody, please, you know.

Ash and I are pretty physical.
We touch a lot,

we're hugging and kissing,
and I think the sex is great.

As a physical person,

I think I'm going to
crave that kind of attention.

That will be a big temptation.

But she said kissing was okay.

So, we'll see if
it gets to that point.

But yeah, mostly to
just be respectful, you know?

No. Definitely.

I'm doing something in
my head where I'm like deciding

whether or not I should
suggest something that...

Huh?

Well, I would need
to build a pillow wall.

A pillow wall is something that
you would do in middle school

when you're
staying over with a girl.

I find it funny and cute

and it really doesn't bother
me at all by any means.

I'm very physically
attracted to Taylor.

His body is very
different from Hania's.

I enjoy making
contact with Taylor,

I'm just... very careful.

I want to still be
considerate of my partner.

We are on the water.

As long as
we're not getting blindfolded.

I have never been on
a jet ski before in my life.

So really excited
to get out, adventure,

and just have a good time.

- Hey, you excited?
- I'm so excited.

It's been three years
since I've been on a first date,

I picked Marissa because
she's so easy to talk to.

She's so easygoing. We made
a connection really fast.

Yeah. It'll be fun.

- Are you excited?
- Yeah. I'm excited.

I want his speedo.

The look, I love it.

If he likes it, I love it.

That's what I'm talking
about. First date action.

Oh my God. Look at
the view. So gorgeous.

So today's date day.
We are paragliding.

We're going to be birds.

We're gonna...
You're going to be an eagle.

You're an owl and I'm an eagle.

I'm definitely thinking
of my kiss with Taylor,

but I'm also
really scared of heights.

I need to sit. I'm having a...

- I feel I could throw up.
- Oh, my God. They're going!

Oh my God. Look at Iris! Yes!

- Oh, look how high.
- Oh, my goodness.

Oh yeah, baby.

Launching. One, two, three go.

It's like a big swing.

I'm incredibly proud of myself

for being able to,
like, push through.

That's why I'm on the island,

is to push past
my fears and lean into

that which
makes me uncomfortable.

You did it.
You did it. You did it.

Whoa. We have some
heavy winds now.

Well, I'm thinking positive.
I don't know about you.

No, I am too.
I'm thinking we could crash

- or get married or, you know.
- Oh, my God.

One or the other.

This first date for me
with her is setting the bar.

I'm gonna run with it
as long as she lets me,

which I'm confident is gonna
be a pretty long time.

That's beautiful.

- Yeah.
- But like, you're way prettier.

Heaven on earth.
Speaking of which, did it hurt?

You know, I love
that I'm egging you on

and like nothing's working.
You're just cool as a cucumber.

I don't know if I have
a connection with Mike

that I had
the first time I saw him.

I'm like, you don't
do the pick up lines.

Just have a normal
conversation. Be yourself.

I felt like maybe the first time
we had that connection was fake.

Are you playing games?

I mean, I think
life's a game, so yeah,

but don't hate the player.

- Hate the game?
- Yeah.

We're in the middle
of a body of water,

like anything can
happen right now.

Having that trust in someone,
especially so quickly

and like, being like, okay,

I'm okay with having
my life in his hands.

- Yeah.
- That's big.

Yeah. Every time talking to you,

I learn something
new about myself

and it's just the beginning.

So I feel like that
makes me feel... No, seriously,

You're like...
You're what I need,

you know,
and whatever capacity that is,

it's not, it's real.

I'm feeling
a genuine connection with Trace.

I'm super attracted to her.

She has everything
I want in a woman.

This happened very quickly,

but I'm trying not
to make it too fast.

I don't want to be
superficial about it.

I'm feeling really
connected to you.

Like emotionally,
physically, everything.

We're just getting started.

Yeah, that's crazy.

I know. We have a lot more,
let's keep going.

A lot more.

I came here originally to learn
how to be independent again

and, you know, see if I,
like, prefer being single

or being in a relationship
at my young age.

Yeah.
But, you know,

I wasn't really expecting to,

like, meet somebody
that I get along with so well.

The more I learn about Tommy,

the more things
I like about him.

He has this sort of
fearless quality about him

that I really love
and I relate to.

It's really exciting to know

that there may be someone
besides Edgar

who could be a good fit for me.

I feel like I can really be
myself around you,

- which is really, really nice.
- That's good.

Hopefully you feel
the same way as I do.

I do. I feel extremely
comfortable around you.

- Yeah.
- Yeah. That's cool.

I feel like I just want
to keep hanging out.

- I don't want this day to end.
- I know.

Well, cheers to an amazing day.

- To an amazing day.
- To amazing date.

Cheers.

I feel like
we connected pretty fast.

In the house,
I feel like I'm in a bubble,

but then like the minute
I talk to you, it's like...

nothing else mat...
Matters at the moment.

You know what am saying?

Yeah, to have that space
and not feel guilty about it.

Making a connection with Marissa
has made things a lot easier.

I felt a little closed off.

But being able to
have someone who listens

and connects with me, like,
on an emotional level

makes things a lot easier.

I'm just grateful for you

being so open,
and welcoming, and accepting.

Can I give you a hug?

Yeah.

With our first conversation,
I really was just intrigued

with the whole family dynamic.

- Yes.
- Why... why do we mask it with

- happiness and comedy?
- And, like, literally

it's so hard for me
to talk about things like that.

That's really what
Iris wanted to see out of me

that I could grow into
speaking more about the issues.

Why do you think
you're opening up to me? So...

I mean, I feel like
I am doing a lot of things

she says I don't do.
I'm opening up to people

right away and not getting
enough credit for it.

I give you credit.
I'm impressed.

- Really?
- Yeah.

I feel so good
when I actually get credit

for things
that I'm trying to do.

Usually it's just
negative reinforcement,

which is gonna make me not
want to open up in the end.

So just having Juicy
give me that reassurance

that she is listening to me
was really amazing.

Best date I could've asked for.

Let's get out of here.
Plenty more to come.

Oh, is that a promise?

Tell me little something about
yourself with, you know,

being in your past relationship.

Feel like it's hard for me
to get him

to open up to me emotionally.

And I feel like I've been
really emotional with him.

And when it's not balanced,
it just feels like...

I'm being too much.

I don't want to come off clingy
or, like, needy in any way.

I value your emotions.

Like, I don't ever want you
to feel like

you can't be yourself in a sense

because that feels like
you're kind of caged...

- Yeah.
- And you should be free.

George, he's making me feel
so at ease.

It's scary to think that
I could vibe so well

with someone other than Luke.

I felt like coming here,
it was mainly to...

see if he would
get tempted to cheat on me.

But now I'm like, wow, I'm
actually building a connection

with someone here
and it's really scary.

He, like, embodies
the qualities that I want

in a future husband.

It makes me feel guilty

knowing that I'm really
connecting well with somebody.

I am making connection with you.

- Yeah.
- And that for me, I feel that.

We back.

Knowing how much I love Gillian,
I... am very thrown

by the connection
I'm making with Marissa.

It makes me feel
nervous because I...

I don't understand it.

There was a moment,
like, we're on the jet ski,

like, the moment we just chilled

and, like, he looked back at me,
I don't know.

Was it like one of those like...

- I don't know.
- Like, he gave you the eyes.

- He gave me the eyes.
- What's up, everybody?

- Hi, Marky.
- Look at you guys,

- you're all sun-kissed.
- Oh, yeah.

- We are. Mwah!
- Well, listen, I really

just wanted to drop by
really quickly.

I wanted to let
you guys know that tonight...

will be your very first bonfire.

Here we go.

Quickly.

I see what y'all ladies
are doing.

- This is what we doing.
- Okay, okay.

I'll see you soon.
Ladies, nice to see you.

All right, goodbye.

Whoa!

There's a lot of emotions
running really high right now.

Bonfires are super powerful.

They really have the potential

to make or break
our relationship.

You know,
a lot is riding on these.

Love y'all.

Walking into bonfire,
the worst case scenario could be

me seeing Gillian
be intimate with Tommy,

Tony, whatever his name is,

or her saying something

that she hasn't felt
that she could say with me.

I'm scared about the unknown.

- What's up, guys?
- I'm great. How are you, Mark?

- I'm good. I'm glad to see you.
- Likewise.

Make yourself comfortable.

All right.

Gentlemen,
welcome to your first bonfire.

So this is where I get
a chance to meet with you

and we get to discuss your
experience here on the island.

It's also the only place
where you'll get a glimpse

of how your girlfriends
are adapting to single life.

Yeah.

So here's how this works, guys.

Each time you're at a bonfire,

you're going to watch a clip

of your girlfriend's
experience on the island.

I understand it can
be difficult to watch,

but hopefully,
it can provide the perspective

that you're searching for
in your relationship.

So are you guys ready?

- Yes, sir.
- Yes.

- Yes, sir.
- Let's do it.

All right, very good.

Luke, let's start with you.

- You ready?
- We are ready.

- The anticipation.
- We, the royal we.

The anticipation is
literally killing me.

Okay, take a look.

I caught him texting girls
from his class

and it's made me
really uncomfortable.

Oh, no.

And it's kind of been, like,
a thing that keeps happening,

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

and then I'll, like,
catch it again.

So it makes me feel insecure.

Okay, what did you hear?

I hear the same problem.

She believes that
I'm not trustworthy

and I can go out and text
other girls behind her back.

Girls that I've even
hooked up with in the past

and I have to look back in
on myself and say,

"Why do I text the girls?"

When you love someone as much
as you love your own family,

when you love someone as much
as a five-year relationship,

it's just so much more
frustrating when you...

don't feel like
you're being heard.

I really want to work on
getting it from my own self

and, you know, I have goals.

I have little checkboxes
that I check off

and that's
the only good feeling I get.

Everything you're saying I hear

and what I'm hearing
is a young man

who's just begging
someone to say,

"I see you, you're doing great.

I'm proud of you,
you're a good guy."

Yeah, and I mean...

How does it make you feel when
you hear me say that to you?

I'm already tearing up,

I'll be so rock-solid with very
traumatic things that'll happen

that aren't related to this
and they don't faze me,

and it's just this subject.

You're screaming to the world,
"I want to hear these things."

But you're not hearing
from the people

you want to hear them from.

So you text somebody else.

See, when you make
a little bit of a shift

about who you're being,
then those people who weren't

paying attention to you
will see you.

But you're gonna have
to see you first.

We're going to work on it.

It's all we can do.

Okay.

Edgar?

Yes.

Your turn, here we go.

This one, actually,
is my promise ring with Edgar.

Okay.

Which I really haven't thought
about until just this moment.

Like, I don't know...

if I will continue wearing
the promise ring.

Like, what do I...
What do I do... what do I do?

- Do I... what do I do?
- I mean...

I don't think I have
a reason to take it off yet.

Not yet.

What did you see?

There's no rush.

I'm holding the ring
that she gave me.

It hurts.

Um...

it sounds like
the ring doesn't mean

anything to her anymore.

It meant a lot to you.

It meant the world to me, Mark.

I don't wanna hear that

she doesn't want
the ring anymore. I don't...

Which, by the way,
isn't what she said.

- But that's what you heard.
- It's what I heard, yeah.

And that's all that matters,

because that's what
we're exploring.

Yeah.

What is hurting you?

Yeah. Not too long ago,
I found out that...

she was texting her ex...

for several months.

Explicit messages
between the two.

Okay.

You know, I-I...

It feels like I don't know her.

I... you know, it feels like
she says one thing to me

and that there's something else
going on inside her head.

It feels like
she's not being honest

with me anymore because, I mean,

with all the text messages that
I didn't know about for months

and through all those months,

I was trying to work towards
our relationship,

and repair what I had done.

And, you know, she says
it didn't take away

from our relationship
and the love that we had.

But I just don't understand
how you can do that

and balance those two lies

and still look me in the eye
and tell me that you love me.

I just don't believe it.
