Fearing a deeper descent into the friend zone with Brie, he took action to rekindle their connection through a playful treasure hunt, successfully bringing joy back into their relationship.
Emily’s journey took a different turn as she confronted her feelings for Tom. Realizing that her efforts were unreciprocated, she made the difficult decision to exit the experiment, asserting that she had been “chasing something that’s not there.” Tom expressed disappointment over her choice, highlighting the contrast in their emotional investment.
Meanwhile, Sam and Jess attempted to reset their relationship. In a light-hearted moment, Sam joked about the idea of divorce to facilitate a fresh start. The couple removed their wedding rings, reintroduced themselves, and shared a reconciliatory hug.
The episode also highlighted the evolving dynamics among other couples. Chad and Georgia intensified their bond, leading to a significant moment where they “consummated” their marriage.

As the couples gathered at Couple’s Cove, they shared intimate details about their recent experiences, providing insight into who had become closer. The atmosphere shifted when Jess and Sam arrived, revealing they had released the flare from Tom and Emily’s camp, signaling a major decision had been made.
