The third episode of Too Hot to Handle begins with Lana announcing that it is time for some Netflix and thrill, and cues the return of the prodigal players, Charlie and Bri. Charlie and Bri return from the banishment quarters with a plan up their sleeves. Lucy said in the confessional:
"I'm thinking like Charlie has broken rules with Bri, Am I surprised? No."
Bri remembers their time in the banishment quarters, explaining that while they were away, Bad Lana appeared and asked if they wanted to see if their crushes were up to anything. As a result, they ended up spending money to watch everyone.
This surprises all the contestants and Lana welcomes them back to the retreat. Jordan expresses his interest in Flavia, but she confesses:
"I came here with no expectations, to be honest. Now, after the date, I feel like we have more of a friendship. I hope we can be friends."
The love triangle involving Flavia, Jordan, and Joao reaches an end. Flavia makes a bold decision to share a bed with Joao instead of Jordan.
