The aftermath of the couple's retreat
Trending
The Byron Bay retreat helped some couples, like Awhina and Adrian, but others were still dealing with conflicts. In Married at First Sight: Australia Season 12, Episode 24, Lauren skipped the Dinner Party after her "feral bogans" remark. Instead, she spent the evening with Clint, having a private dinner while watching the drama unfold from afar.
Before the dinner party, Beth confronted Rayn for calling her “classless” at the couples retreat and then going to Teejay instead of addressing her directly. Rayn apologized for his mistake and his apology was reciprocated by Beth by an apology of her own for her "vulgar language."
Meanwhile, Jamie was still furious at Carina and Rhi for not supporting her during her confrontation with Lauren and Clint. While Carina and Rhi acknowledged that Jamie had valid concerns, they found her approach too aggressive.

Lauren forgives Rhi
After the party, Rhi approached Jamie and apologized to her for not standing up for her, noting that she hadn't excused Lauren’s behavior.
