-[Louis] My fingers went for a wander. -[Katherine moans]
Strumming on her guitar.
[Lana] As a group, you have now lost almost half of the prize fund.
This is real money, by the way.
Where's your self-discipline? Why can't you contain yourself?
You saw a fat ass, spent money on a kiss, and you're trying to tell me what now?
The more time goes on, the more disconnected I'm feeling.
It's feeling more like a brother-sister-friend thing.
[sobs] I just feel like an idiot.
I've been thinking about someone else the whole time.
That situation with Valentina. How I treated you, it was wrong.
[Bri] Ooh!
I was holding myself back from doing so much more.
Whoa!
Are you having a laugh?
-[Lana] Kylisha… -Oh my God.
…Louis, you must leave my retreat.
I just can't control myself. I don't want to go.
[Valentina] Bye, Louis!
[Bad Lana] I'm sending in two sexy baddies.
The only way Bad Lana is gonna ruin this is if she brings me a clone of Katherine.
That girl is your evil twin.
Oh dear.
-Are you in a serious relationship? -Nah.
-[Sabrina] Oh, you're good. -Oh my God.
I've got Charlie wrapped around my little finger.
Right there?
Jalen's hands feel so good.
Come closer.
Damn, I got this in the bag.
Nothing else to tell me?
Don't have to tell her about the back massage.
He did try to kiss me.

[Desiree] That was the longest week of my life.

Did Bri kiss Jalen or not?
How was your date?
[tense music playing]
He gave me a-- Like a…
A massage for like on my… neck.
[shock sting]
I just want to be honest with you, like,
he did try to kiss me.
[Desiree] Here we go.
Come closer.
[tense music builds]
[music fades]
I didn't kiss him.
Oh my God.
[laughs]
That is so wrong.
No, Jalen.
-I ain't trying to break rules with you. -Oooh! "With you."
All right. Say no more. Say no more.
Phew!
I'm so happy that Bri didn't do anything.
And that what she did do, she was honest about it.
That means the world to me.
[Desiree] You and me both, Demari.
Go, Bri!
But we're not out of the woods just yet,
as Charlie is worried what Katherine will say
if she learns how up close and personal he got with Sabrina on their date.
[rewinding]
Are you in a serious relationship?
Nah.
Oh, you're good.
[Charlie] You have to sit there. Or I'm gonna get a boner.
Don't have to tell 'em about the massage.
[Desiree] Although hiding it could make things even worse.
The date was good.
Uh, we pulled up to like a beach spot.
We just sat there. Had a chat.
I want to be honest with Katherine. I didn't do anything that bad.
Me and Sabrina didn't kiss.
Obviously, they had their 24-hour pass, but even whilst I was there, like,
you were in the back of my mind the whole way through.
The thing is, everything's going great for us.
I don't want anything to ruin that.
I didn't do anything.
You didn't kiss? You didn't do anything?
Didn't kiss her. Pretty good boy.
-Aw. -I'm pretty proud of my behavior.
[Katherine laughs]
Aw!
I've already told the lie. I may as well stick to it.
What she doesn't know won't hurt her, right?
Nothing else you have to tell me? That's it?

Yeah, that's pretty much all I have to say on the date and all.

I'm sorry, Charlie, that I didn't believe in you,
but oh God, hearing this makes me the happiest girl in the world right now.
-How was the date? -It was good. It was good. He's…
-He's trouble. I'm not gonna lie. -He is. I've been there.
And he said he's closed off completely?
-No. -[gasps]
We gave each other back massages.
-He told me not to say anything. -[gasping]
Oh, lordy me.
I'm just glad Charlie is not my problem anymore.
Bad behavior.
[music ends]
I thought about you and didn't want to, like,
do anything to jeopardize, like,
what we have.
I feel we've been through a lot so far already,
and, um, I didn't want to believe that you would, like, jeopardize us,
so I knew I could trust you.

as to why Charlie and I aren't getting the green light.
He said he didn't do anything with Sabrina.
Is there something that Lana knows that I don't know?
Way to make me feel terrible about myself.
I feel guilty for not being honest with Katherine yesterday,
but let's just hope that Sabrina keeps quiet on this one.
Otherwise, it's gonna get messy.
You'll come to find you can't trust any of these men.
I can tell.
I think Cheeky Charlie is a good name for him,

But in the back of my mind, I was like, did we not get the green light
because he's acting, like, a weird way with Sabrina?
[Valentina] When we were speaking to Sabrina,
the vibe I got was that I didn't think Charlie was being fully honest.
What do you mean, fully honest?
If I was you, I'd want to hear Sabrina's side of the story.
Yeah.
[Valentina] Charlie's definitely being a little bit shady.
But I'm not saying anything. It's not my place to.
I think it's Sabrina's place to.
And Charlie's, but he won't do it, so. [laughs]
Let's just see what happened.

It's the green light connoisseurs over here.
I don't think Katherine's suspicious of me being badly behaved.
In my mind, I'm feeling guilty for not telling her the truth.
I think it's time to get some friendly advice.
Tell me how to get this green light.
-Demari] Um… -Well, tell us why you didn't get it.
-Are we going to keep this between us? -Oh, yeah. No.
-Oh, Lord. -[Demari laughs]
I got the massage oil, innit? Gave her a little back rub.
She gave me a little back rub. But I didn't tell Katherine.
Why are you hiding that?
Because I felt guilty about it, I didn't even talk about it.
-Yeah, bro… -[Charlie] I put myself into a corner.
-I don't think Sabrina said anything. -[Demari] She didn't.
No, I told her not to.
[Bri scoffs]
Charlie.
Yeah.
Honestly, that's probably why you didn't get the green light.
-You need to tell her, like, today. -I agree.
Yeah. I do need to tell her that.
I'm in a bit of a pickle.
Not 'cause of what I did. I wasn't honest about it.
-I want to speak to Katherine. -All right, bro. You got it.
[Desiree] You better get your skates on, Charlie.
You need to get to Katherine before she gets to Sabrina.

-I just wanted to hear from your side… -Yeah.
…because I know he's a flirt, but I wanted to see how big of a flirt.
[Sabrina] I didn't want to get involved.
I'm so nervous right now.
Was he just like, being a really bad boy?
Like, doing things I probably wouldn't have liked?
You know, he was… [sighs]
Trust me, anything you tell me, like, this isn't-- I'm not mad at you.
-Yeah. -It's him that I'd be mad at.
[Sabrina] Um…
Basically, he initiated all the flirting.
He initiated, like, everything.
Like, I know he's like, Cheeky Charlie, but I'm also a very flirty person too.
Is Sabrina holding back?
Like… Like, he was so flirty.
So flirty.
And did you guys kiss?
-No. -You guys didn't kiss?
No, we did not kiss.

Making out with him, I don't have a connection with him.
I'm not even that interested in him. I just did this for nothing.
♪ I wanna give away ♪
When you like somebody the way you say you like them…
Yeah.
…why would you entertain that situation?
Yeah, that doesn't make sense.
[Joao] It's disrespectful.
When I like somebody, I give my 100% to them.
But if Flavia can't match that, then there's a problem here.
♪ Who said love Had to come from one place? ♪
Not being in bed with Katherine was making me realize how much I like her.
All she needed from you was simple honesty.
Yeah.
Oh my God, I couldn't stop thinking the whole night.
What could have happened if Jalen had been here from the start?
Would I still be with Joao at this point?
You just have to follow your heart.
I always do this.
When I find a good guy that is worth it,
I end up pushing them away.
I don't know why.
I really wish that Valentina was here for me to talk to her about this.
I'm going to miss my spicy Latina mommy. I'm so sad she's gone.
[Desiree] Oh yes! I forgot to say!
Sadly, Valentina had to make an early exit from the retreat
due to personal reasons.
♪ Kicking it poolside… ♪
[Desiree] But I can name a couple of girls who still need Lana's lessons.
Flavia is sabotaging her deepening connection with Joao
in favor of short-term gratification with bad boy Jalen.
And Katherine may be rightly upset with Charlie,
but she has completely shut down
instead of discussing the issues they face.
Lana, I think it's time you stepped in.
[upbeat music playing]
[Lana] I agree, Desiree.
These ingrained behaviors
that Katherine and Flavia exhibited in their past outside of the retreat
are why they struggle to form deep and long-lasting relationships.
It's time to confront their issues head-on with a women-only workshop.
[Desiree] This sounds like something all the girls could benefit from.
Today's workshop is all about learning how to embrace discomfort
without hiding or running away.
All right, ladies, good to see you again.
Who finds it easier to shut down, close your heart,
and run away when things get tough?
Raise your hand. Yeah.
[Brenden laughs]
Okay, but have any of you ever pushed through those difficulties?
Or confronted the root causes of why you shy away from them?
[Desiree] Yeah, I take that as a "no."
[Brenden] So who's willing to talk about their issues right now?
No, thank you.
This is exactly what I did not want to do.
Oh my God. [exhales]
Talking about my feelings is really hard for me.
This could be awkward.
[Brenden] So, none of you are comfortable opening up.
Well, today, we're gonna fix that.
Behind you, we have these lovely ice baths.
[Flavia] Oh my God!
[Katherine] Oh my God.
Ice baths represent a stressful situation.
If you're one who normally just like shuts down and runs away,
this is going to help you just be with the discomfort.
I'm a little scared, I'm not going to lie.
Oh…
I just know this cold bath is going to be so painful,
and I just don't want to face this pain.
It might not be fun, but it's time to take a plunge.

-[Brenden] There you go! -Oh God.

but… [exhales] …the screaming sounds pretty angry.
-I'm done, I'm done, I'm done, I'm done! -Ooh…
-[Brenden] Get in there, Bri! -No.
-[Brenden] You got this, Flavia. -[Flavia] I just can't.
Brenden, I get it, but I just can't do this.
Your reaction of not getting in
literally resembles all of the "can'ts" in your connections.
It's like, "No, I just can't. I can't have that hard conversation."
"I can't just speak my truth to them."
And you've got to push through that.
You got this!
[whimpers]
-[Brenden] You got this! -Fuck!
-My foot is cramping! [breathing shakily] -[yells]
I understand it's much easier to run away from your problems
than to face them head-on.
-Ah-hoo… -The ice bath represents these issues.
The more I put my mind to it, this is getting a little bit better.
Breathe in through the mouth and out the mouth.
[gasping] We're like giving birth.
[inhales, exhales]
[breathing rapidly]
[breathing shakily]
[Brenden] There you go.

the more powerful I feel.

[Brenden] You got this. I believe in you.
[soothing music playing]
♪ I've given everything ♪
[whimpering]
[Gianna] It's really grounding to be this cold.
It's just you, your mind, your body, and the cold.
And all you can do is focus on that.
Right now, I'm just letting go and just being comfortable with the discomfort.
I can't even describe how cold this is,
but I need to sit in this ice bath
and really just deal with everything.
Please! I need to go out!
[music distorts]
[Brenden] Well done, we're good! Come out!
Oh!
Oh my God!
That was great. However, it's time to face your issues.
[chuckles]
All right, ladies. Phenomenal freaking job.
Phenomenal job. I just want to know how was that for all of you?
I didn't like it at all.
It wasn't fun, that was for sure.
I felt like I really couldn't do it at first.
[Brenden] But you did it, Bri. You stuck with it and that's the key,
because now that you've handled the discomfort of this icy water,
I truly believe you're ready to face the difficult conversation
of what's holding you back in your relationships.
Alright, Gianna.
Do you have any patterns of behavior that you really need to address?
For sure.
[poignant music playing]
[Brenden] Is it more uncomfortable than the ice bath to share who you are?
-A little bit. -[Brenden] Mm-hmm.
It's really hard for me to open up and to talk about my past
and to address it with myself, let alone others.
But I braved the uncomfortable ice bath, so if I was able to get through that,
I should be able to talk.
I am a very emotional, sensitive person.
And I think for the longest time, I've used boys to fulfill my happiness.
Mm-hmm.
Whatever they say or think about me, it deeply affects me.
[Brenden] And where does this pattern come from?
I've experienced
not nice things being told to me by people who I thought loved and cared about me.
And it affected my body image and how I saw myself.
[poignant music continues]
[voice breaks] And then you have people
tell you that
you're not pretty enough, or you're not skinny enough.
Um…
And I carried that with me, and I still carry it to this day.
♪ I'm self-destructive ♪
Do you feel this will give you any clarity in moving forward in relationships?
For sure. As long as I have the validation within myself
and the capacity to fill my cup, then I don't need anyone else to do so.
Yeah. That's powerful, Gianna.
[Gianna] I addressed some things that I haven't really ever vocalized out loud,
and I feel like a weight has been lifted off my chest after this workshop.
With my ex, I, like, put my heart out,
and he did not give it back at all.
And I promised myself I would never put my heart out like that again.
I need to stop looking at feelings and emotions as a weakness.
Yeah. Thank you for sharing that, Sabrina.
At the moment, I'm not in a couple or anything in the retreat,
and sometimes I find it quite hard being by myself.
And that cold water just reminded me
that I need to be comfortable in the uncomfortable.
-Bingo. -So that felt like finding my power.
Beautiful. All right, Bri. How about you?
In relationships, most of the time, when I like someone, I will run.
Like, I can't trust it to be safe,
and right now, I feel like I'm kind of scared because, like,
it almost feels too good to be true.
I haven't been in that space in a while.
But I am in a comfortable space with him.
You trusting yourself is the foundation to these connections.
You have what it takes in the retreat to make the best decision for you.
That's beautiful. Thank you.
Okay. Katherine, what about you?
Gosh. I'm bad at explaining how I feel on the inside.
I struggle so much talking about my feelings.
So this is going to be really hard for me.
[Brenden] Discomfort, that's normal, you know,
but that translates to our romantic relationships.
I hate being uncomfortable, but I do want to grow as a person
because I'm tired of just doing the same things that I did in the past.
[Brenden] And what are those old habits?
I really just need to stop thinking that all guys are out here to hurt me,
and that's why I run away.
[Brenden] Yeah.
And where does this pattern come from?
Um… well, I just want to protect myself from being hurt.
And that stems from stuff that happened in my childhood with my father and stuff.
He just hurt me.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
My father abandoned my family and I when I was a kid.
Even though I was telling him I loved him, and I wanted him to be there for me,
but he still decided to leave.

[Brenden] Do you feel in the retreat
that you'll be able to trust the person you're connecting with?
Well, Charlie, he lied to me and made me definitely want to put my walls back up.
Yeah. And do you feel the confidence just to do something uncomfortable,
even if it might be like a conversation with him?
Yeah, I should have a conversation, but do I want to forgive him,
or do I just, like,
run away like I always do?
I'm realizing I need to stop running away from my problems,
and I… I do need to talk with Charlie.
Flavia, how was that?
Uh… [giggles anxiously]
I'm not going to lie.
It was, uh, painful.
It was challenging.
At some point, I felt like I couldn't handle that anymore.
Do you feel there's any resemblance with that in relationships?
Yeah, I've been hurt in the past.
I have to put walls up and, like, pretend that I don't care when I actually do.
And when a boy I like shows me that he really cares,
I have this… devil, like, that says, "No, like, push him away."
-Almost like it's too good to be true? -Exactly. You said it.
Oh my God. I just realized that the bath represents Joao and our situation
and that I have to jump in, open up, be vulnerable,
and definitely not jump in into the next guy.
Do you feel this will give you any clarity in moving forward with Joao?
I feel like, yeah.
He's showing me that he actually cares, and I feel I'm trying to push him away.
-Like, I'm self-sabotaging again. -[Brenden] Yeah.
I have to listen to my inner voice, and I feel like now I have the answer.
That's powerful.

I have to commit to this with Joao.
We've been building something special, and I just don't want to throw it away.
[Desiree] Oh, Flavia, that is beautiful.
I just hope it's not too little too late 'cause Joao is heading straight for Jalen.
I'm just really confused and disappointed by the situation with Flavia and Jalen.
She hasn't said anything.
So I feel I just need to speak to Jalen and really get to the bottom of this.
Obviously, Flavia and I have been having a thing since like early days.
[Jalen] Right.
You need to do what you need to do, and I completely respect that.
I am just very confused on her side.
Right. I don't know how honest she is with you,
but from the perspective I'm getting,
is that she's open to talking and getting to know me.
I said, "Am I your type?" And she said, "Definitely."
-Yeah, yeah. -She said, "My mind's everywhere."
"It's twisted. I don't know which way I wanna go."
[Joao] Are you kidding me?
How can you even excuse that?
It's almost like a stab in the back.
If I didn't even think there was a chance, I would just move on. You know?
-But I see a little daylight, so… -Yeah.
It sucks that she's going about it this way.
It's muggy.

We had to identify a pattern
that we usually have when it comes to relationships and then let it out.

and I want to give us a chance.
I owe Joao a conversation, and I hope he can understand.

And Jalen is the best man.
[Desiree] Oh, I love your confidence, J-Dog,
but I think you're barking up the wrong tree.
I need to speak to Joao and tell him Jalen turned my head a little bit.
Hopefully, he's understanding and the chat is going to make us stronger than ever.
I just want to know what is going on. Where is your head at?
Um…
I feel like the workshop made me realize
that I can't run from my demons and my fears anymore,
and inside this retreat, I feel like… my fear is you.
And I'm starting to like you, and that's why I'm self-sabotaging.
That's a thing I do.
I just didn't expect that.
Like, I would usually go for the baddies, you know, like Jalen.
Do you like him? Do you want to pursue that?
It doesn't mean that I like him.
He was just, like, the new shiny toy in the retreat. You know?
Yeah, okay.
Getting to know him is a perfect opportunity for me to, like,
fuck things up with you, and that's a thing that I have to work on.
But he doesn't mean anything to me.

I'm literally just going to sit here, be honest with you,
