Brion returned to the villa after watching Shante's video, where she expressed how hurt she felt by his actions.

"I feel like he doesn't take responsibility for anything that he does," Amiah commented about Brion in a confessional.

Shante then had a private conversation with Brion, choosing to decline the date he had asked for earlier, saying she wanted to avoid being in an "uncomfortable situation." Several participants went on final dates. Grant and Natalie shared a date where he gave her flowers and a letter. Ashley and Danny enjoyed a pottery date, with the former reflecting that it was "so fun and easy" with him.

As the dates continued in this episode, Grant wrote a letter for Natalie.

"The connection I feel with you is very real. You've shown me the kind of love I really do yearn for," he wrote.

After Tayler kissed Yamen, she mentioned that she did not feel she was "disrespecting" her relationship with Tyler, as she believed there was no relationship between them. Later, Tayler and Ashley discussed their experiences in Temptation Island, including kissing their new connections.

Mark then announced the upcoming bonfire, reminding the women that this would be the last time they would see footage before the final bonfire. During the bonfire, Shante saw a clip of Amiah declining Brion's date request.

Shante also shared that Brion needed to be ready for a "rough conversation" about his behavior. Ashley watched a video of Grant's letter and commented that he often jumped "from girl to girl" without considering what he was leaving behind. Tayler saw Tyler's intimate moment with Kay and said she was "happy for him."

"I feel empty, I literally have like no emotion," she added.

Mark then announced that each woman could have one final overnight date with their chosen partner, while the rest would be sent home. Participants would then decide whether to leave the Temptation Island with their original partner, someone they connected with during the experience, or alone.
