Too Hot to Handle star Katherine lost trust in Charlie after discovering he lied to her

After returning from his date in Episode 8, Charlie decided not to tell Katherine about the massage Sabrina gave him because he "didn't want to ruin" his relationship with his partner. He admitted he was a "pretty good boy" and did not kiss the newcomer.

"I've already told the lie, I might as well stick to it. What she doesn't know won't hurt her, right?" said Charlie.

Katherine was overjoyed to hear how loyal her Too Hot to Handle partner had been to her. In the meantime, Sabrina informed some of the female cast members that Charlie asked her not to disclose the massage incident. Surprised by the revelation, Lucy stated it was "bad behavior" from Charlie's end.

Although Charlie felt guilty about lying to Katherine, he hoped Sabrina did not expose him. The following morning, Valentina alerted Katherine that Charlie might be hiding something from her. It prompted Katherine to have a one-on-one conversation with Sabrina.

"Charlie's definitely being a little bit shady. But I'm not saying anything. It's not my place," said Valentina.

Katherine approached Sabrina, wanting to hear her side of the story. During their conversation, Sabrina revealed that Charlie "initiated all the flirting," but refrained from kissing her. However, she added that he requested her to keep their massages a secret from everyone in the retreat.

"Keeping this massage a secret? Are you kidding me? Why lie? I wouldn't have cared, it's just a massage. This guy is not to be trusted" said Katherine.

During the candy-themed party, Katherine confronted Charlie for being dishonest with her. Although Charlie pleaded for another chance to regain her trust, his Too Hot to Handle partner refused to "be with a liar," and insisted on sleeping alone.

After their fallout, Katherine shut Charlie out completely. However, during the women's self-reflective workshop, she realized she needed to address her unresolved issues and talk to him. She admitted she hesitated to open up about her feelings and tended to push people away because of the abandonment issues with her father.

During their one-to-one conversation, Katherine expressed her feelings to Charlie, saying she shut him out because she feared she would have her heart broken. He reassured her of his intentions and wished they could reconcile.

"When I look at you, when I talk to you, I feel things in my heart, and it's new for me, and, I like it. I don't want it to go," confessed Charlie.

The Too Hot to Handle star admitted she saw the good in Charlie and decided to give their relationship another chance. As soon as the couple got the green light, they embraced and kissed each other.
