Bad Lana's private suite twist explored in Too Hot to Handle season 6 episode 3
In the third episode of Too Hot to Handle Season 6, Katherine and Louis break multiple Lana rules, resulting in a reduction of the cash prize of $18,000. This led Lana to give them the ultimate test of chastity.
Lana asks Louis and Katherine to immediately head to the private suite and spend a night together. Louis faces elimination from the show if he violates any single rule in the suite. After this announcement, the contestants express their concern about the further reduction in money.
Katherine and Louis explore the private suite after entering. Katherine expresses, in a confessional:
"If this isn't a tease, I don't know what it is."
Soon after, Bad Lana appears with an announcement:
"Well, Hello there, my s**y little minxes, Bad Lana has your back, especially you Louis. I feel like we are gonna get on very well. I hope you enjoy a bargain."
Louis discovers a happy hour menu on the table, indicating a special offer. Bad Lana says rule breaks are half-priced from midnight to 1 a.m., and she says goodbye to them. As seen in the episode, Katherine tries to make it difficult for Louis, but he stands his ground.
Louis says in a confessional:
"Happy hour has made this so much harder, but I've got this. No, I have got this. Seriously."
Episode 3 ends with all the contestants expressing their opinions about the private suite announcement by Lana. They hope that Louis and Katherine do not break the rules and come back to the retreat without spending any money.
The morning after the Bad Lana twist in Too Hot to Handle
At the retreat, everyone in the cast was discussing Katherine and Louis's return from the suite. Charlie says he would be disappointed if they broke any rules. Gianna says that she is nervous about where the prize pot stands because there is no chance that they didn't break the rule in that private suite.
Meanwhile, Louis says they had a good night. Katherine tells everyone that Bad Lana was there and offered delighted hour deals. Lana then makes an announcement in Too Hot to Handle:
"There is something I haven't told any of you. Louis, if you failed and broke rules, proving that you have no intention of setting a good example for others, you will be leaving my retreat immediately."
Lana finally says that the couple didn't cross any lines and is safe in the show. After hearing this, Louis expresses his relief. But Lana applauds him, saying that he held the line and set a good example.
Even though Bad Lana came into the private suite offering happy hour deals to Louis and Katherine, they managed to not break any rules and set an example for the cast.
The first 4 episodes of Too Hot to Handle season 6 are currently streaming on Netflix.
