What happened in The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On season 3 episode 6?

Episode 6 of The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On saw the men and women coming back to their trial partners after a night out in the previous episode. Scotty was especially perturbed by J.R. confronting him during the gathering. Zaina expressed her frustration at Scotty's behavior and asked him to come clean.

"J.R. went off. He said I was talking sh*t about him. He said, 'Maybe you're trying to cast doubt in Zaina's head to make it seem like I'm doing something that I'm not,'" stated Scotty.

After calming down, Scotty asked Zaina if she was having conversations with J.R. Zaina replied that it was not his business to ask her and that he shouldn't be getting frustrated about the topic. They both eventually resolved their issues for the time being and decided to have an "adult conversation" about what was bothering them.

Sandy and J.R. discussed the reunion, and the latter disclosed that Nick came up to him and apologized for trying to interfere in the experiment. According to J.R., Nick also mentioned that Sandy was trying to reach out to him as well. This prompted Sandy to get emotional and reveal that although she missed Nick, she felt pulled in different directions.

Aria took Caleb to meet her brother and sister-in-law on The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On. They opened up about why they chose each other for the process, and both agreed that the ease of communication made them feel attracted to one another. Caleb made a favorable impression on Aria's loved ones, who couldn't help but draw comparisons between him and Scotty.

As they spent their final moments together on The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On, Caleb disclosed to Aria how she had positively impacted his life. He confessed that being with her had put him at ease with the idea of settling down and starting a family.

“I’ve gotten more comfortable with the idea of having a wife and having children because of you,” said Caleb to Aria.

Just two days before The Changeover, feeling dejected from the events, Nick decided to get a tattoo that reads "Love conquers all" in Latin. He felt that his and Sandy's time was almost over and wanted something that would denote their relationship.

After getting the tattoo, Nick realized that he had given the tattoo artist the wrong text to ink, which resulted in him getting "fortis fortuna adjuvant" on his body. Too late to go back, Nick felt that his eventual ink, which meant "Fortune favors the bold," suited his current status. Zaina brought up the sensitive topic of Scotty talking about her ex, J.R.

This resulted in the two fighting and Zaina ultimately decided to pack her bags and stay separately for the final night before the changeover. As The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On episode was about to conclude, all the couples got suited and booted to finally meet their original spouses again.
