Mariah stated that she was not aware of the social media situation, but was willing to work things out.

"You are out her lurking on my page, liking my stuff. And then you blocked me," revealed Aria.

Aria was next to talk about her partner on The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On reunion. She shed some tears as she revealed that they were not engaged anymore after losing her grandma and suffering a miscarriage. Scotty also got emotional and expressed that he suffered a "real heartbreak" after their separation.

Zaina and J.R. also revealed what they were up to after the finale. J.R. talked about the holidays they spent together but still couldn't work things out due to differences in opinion. Zaina revealed that her perspective was slightly different as she revealed that they were in contact the whole time. J.R. went ahead and stated that Zaina asked her to not see other people which he found "manipulative".

Zaina then addressed Sandy's involvement as she was in the trial marriage with J.R. in this experiment. Zaina mentioned that J.R. downplayed the intimate moments between him and Sandy as it was before the episodes were released. J.R. and Sandy both tried to defend themselves and claimed they were talking about their partners but Nick and Zaina refused to believe them.

Host Nick and Vanessa Lachey revealed that one of the couples who left early to be together was gonna join the rest of the cast as special guests. Vanessa and Dave soon joined them at the The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On reunion. Vanessa was asked as to why she left without notifying Nick at the time of their trial marriage, to which she replied that being with Nick was too much for her.

"He also knew that that day that we fought, the entire day, that I was extremely perturbed about him, like turning it back around me whenever the cameras were rolling," stated Vanessa.

As Vanessa and Dave left, Nick revealed that he turned to alcohol after Sandy left him and went through recovery which Sandy helped with. He also revealed that a week later, she decided to travel without him and they ultimately broke apart for good. The reunion concluded as Nick revealed that he was seeing someone outside the show.
