The cast members of Love is Blind Mexico went in separate limos to enjoy their bachelor and bachelorette parties. All the singles from the pods of Love Is Blind Mexico joined the couples for the night which led to confessions regarding the ups and downs of a relationship.

"Fernanda struggles to manage her time, and she's very controlling... And one day we reached a breaking point. We talked about it. There are definitely issues," confessed Gerardo.

Unable to control her anger, she put a cloth on the camera and tearfully, started cursing Gerardo as they parted ways.
"I hate him. He acts like he has no f***ing responsibility in any of this! Like he's some sort of victim! As if he's f***ing Mr. Perfect! You've been full of s**t from day one. I can't stand to even look at you."
Later, the production team reunited Fernanda and Gerardo. They expressed gratitude towards one another for helping them grow and learn new things about themselves.
