In episode 5, five couples traveled to Tulum for the honeymoon phase of the experiment. Those couples were - Gerardo and Fernanda, Chema and Silvia, Willy and Francesca, Leti and Saul, and Fernando and Karen.

Love Is Blind: Mexico is hosted by Omar Chaparro and Lucy Chaparro, who are not only a real-life couple, but they have been together for over.

What happened in episode 5 of Love Is Blind: Mexico?

Episode 5 of Love Is Blind: Mexico picked up where it left in the previous episode. Few of the couples were seeing trouble in paradise as doubts emerged after the couples' first night together in a resort of Tulum.

While hanging out with the other couples, Saul vented about his difficulties connecting with Leti. Willy expressed feeling overwhelmed by how quickly Francesca was showing commitment. Fernando and Karen argued about her smoking, which Fernando strongly disapproved of.

The conflict between Saul and Leti escalated when Leti shared her dissatisfaction with Saul's behavior in front of the group the next day. Saul admitted that alcohol influenced his actions and regretted it. He apologized and promised it wouldn't happen again.

"Yesterday a negative side came out of myself came out. I've mentioned it to you already. That side of me that's more vulnerable. What I've learned from all this you should give unconditionally. I was giving it because I was expecting something back. It shouldn't be that way," Saul said.

Despite the apology, Leti couldn't seem to let go of the instance as she felt unheard by Saul with whom she is supposed to tie the knot in 30 days. She justified that because of her ADHD diagnosis and troubled romantic past, she avoids stress factors and usually runs away from these situations.

The couple packed their bags and said goodbye to each other after they couldn't find a solution to move forward. They said their goodbyes and wished each other luck in finding their true love.

While one couple seemed to be ending their journey, Rene and Irais were on the opposite path. They reunited with a long embrace after meeting outside the pods on Love Is Blind: Mexico.

Rene had doubts about why Irais hesitated to continue despite their strong connection. Irais explained she was overwhelmed and emotionally shut down. Rene was thrilled to see Irais still wearing his ring, and Irais asked him to "keep doing this" with her. Overjoyed, Rene agreed and kissed her.

"I think the connection we had in the pods was a strong one, and now we have a chance to know each other on a more intimate level," stated Rene in a confessional.

Fernanda and Gerardo were progressing better than anyone and were the first of the couples to meet one of their parents on Love Is Blind: Mexico. During a one-on-one with Gerardo, Fernanda's mother expressed her shock at the couple's engagement and told Gerardo that she didn't know about the experiment.

Gerardo explained the couple's stance about staying with each other for the rest of their lives and Fernanda's mother came quickly on board and was delighted to look at the couple's bonding in such a short time. Chema also went to Silvia's home to meet with Silvia's mother. After seeing the ring, her mother was elated and hoped for a good life for the couple.

End of episode 5 of Love Is Blind: Mexico saw Gerardo host a barbecue for the rest of the couples in the show. The episode ended with the re-entry of Rene and Irais into the show.
