Love After Lockup released episode 49 of season 5 on November 29. Titled High Risk Lies, the episode focused on Justine and Michael finding out that they needed to do a premature delivery because of complications involved.
The episode also documented Bianca's friend, Hailey, trying to convince Daniel to secure Bianca's interests by promising to marry her while Bianca was away. When Daniel showed reluctance to do so, Hailey asked why he wasn't sure about marrying Bianca. He said he wanted to make sure they were secure as a couple.
To this, Hailey advised him to "cut the cord" sooner than later because she said her friend wasn't someone who would end the relationship, thinking it would get better. Fans of Love After Lockup took to X to react to this conversation. Most of them thought Hailey's advice was sound and that Daniel indeed should break up with Bianca as they thought he was never going to marry anyone else.
"Daniel, cut the cord now- for all of us!" said one fan.
"Bianca is delusional, entitled dumba*s and Daniel need to leave her," said another fan.
"I like Daniel and I hope he dumb this immature little girl before she gets pregnant and trap him," a third one added.
"Daniel needs to break up with Bianca sooner rather than later!" wrote one.
Some fans of Love After Lockup thought Daniel needed to be with another person, which was why they asked him to leave Bianca.
"Daniel is so mature and levelheaded he needs to find someone on the same maturity level as him cuz it’s definitely not Bianca," an X user wrote.
"At this point, I’m starting to blame Daniel for still hanging around," another X user wrote.
"Daniel needs to stop bullsh*ttin and end the relationship," commented one.
"Idk each episode they’re showing us another reason why Bianca & Daniel don’t need to be together. This is reason #5287," commented another.
The conversation between Daniel and Hailey on Love After Lockup season 5 episode 49
Hailey brought up the fact that Bianca thought Daniel "love bombed" her. Daniel said he did "love bomb" her, but it might look like he did so to manipulate her, but he didn't. Hailey then steered the topic to his intentions of living with Bianca just because she was paying for it.
He said that he found an anchor in her after he got out of the prison, and Bianca was also going through a lot, which is why they decided to move in together so that they could figure out their lives. Having said that, he added that he didn't think they were ready for marriage in between all of that and said that was the reason he held back.
Hailey then asked him if he actually loved her, and Daniel said yes. She said she wanted to make sure he didn't dump her later on or drag her for long. She then asked her when he thought he would be ready for the marriage, and Daniel said he didn't know.
He asked her why giving a ring was so important, and Hailey explained that Bianca was a very "white picket fence" kind of girl, so it would reassure her. In a Love After Lockup confessional, Daniel said Bianca was providing the more "materialistic" things, but that was love. Hailey then advised him to leave Bianca already if he was never going to marry her.
