GINO and JASMINE
Gino had arrived in Panama City a week prior, and the couple already had some bad and ugly arguments. Jasmine said she loved sharing her apartment with Gino but needed some space of her own, and so she went outdoors and FaceTimed with her ex-boyfriend Dane.Dane apparently lived in the same apartment building but was away on a family vacation. Jasmine said Gino didn't know that Dane was her ex-boyfriend and that they were still friends.
She was also relieved that she and Gino weren't going to bump into Dane during Gino's stay.
Jasmine said she'd never allow or be okay with Gino being friends with one of his exes, but she claimed she's not a hypocrite because she's "more trustworthy" and has "more maturity" than Gino to be able to separate a friendship from something romantic with someone of the opposite sex.

Dane suggested that Jasmine needed to end up with someone confident in himself and incredible, and then Jasmine broke down into tears and said she just wanted to be loved in a healthy way.
"It should be Gino comforting me, not my ex-boyfriend," Jasmine told the cameras.
Dane advised Jasmine to try couples' therapy with Gino because he wanted to see her spirits lifted. Jasmine realized Dane was right and that she needed to fix her issues with Gino before uprooting her life and moving to the United States.

Jasmine said she wasn't willing to give up on Gino, so she was willing to do anything to make them happy as a couple. Jasmine then showed Gino how to exercise and work out, and their moves kind of turned into dirty dancing.
Jasmine complained about how they only had sex once, and Gino explained how he lost his "desire" for sex when they argued.
In order to turn Gino on, Jasmine said she'd like to make his fantasy come true. But Gino's fantasy was apparently to stop fighting every day. Gino basically needed good vibes from Jasmine in order to get turned on.

Jasmine asked Gino if they could sleep together more if she stopped arguing with him, and then he changed the subject.
Later on, Gino met Jasmine's best friends Yira and Juana at a restaurant with dancing and drinks. Gino hoped to make a good first impression, especially since he and Jasmine were going through ups and downs.
Gino then dropped a bombshell at the gathering about how Jasmine had been videochatting with another man. He said he hoped Jasmine would never cheat on him, and he didn't understand why Jasmine was talking to this "friend."
Gino said Jasmine had come clean about the conversation because he could tell that something was off with her and that she was acting strangely.
Gino wondered what Jasmine had done when they were apart for 18 months, and he found Jasmine's behavior "very suspicious."
Jasmine's friend then spilled the beans to Gino that Jasmine had dated Dane from 2018-2019 and that they were still good friends.
"Imagine what Jasmine would do if I told her that I was friends with my ex. She would blow up. So the fact that Jasmine's ex is in her life and she's hiding it behind my back, that's a big red flag to me. Something is going on here," Gino told the cameras.
Jasmine's friend asked Gino not to worry because Jasmine wanted to marry him, but Gino worried Jasmine was hiding something.
RILEY and VIOLET
Riley was prepared to meet Violet's children and her mom. Riley initially had some doubts about Violet and her intentions, but he was excited to hopefully become a part of her family.But before meeting her family, Violet brought Riley to a traditional Vietnamese clothing shop where she picked out clothes for him that would be appropriate for the occasion.
While measuring Riley's "belly," Violet told her seamstress pal that Riley looked "old and ugly." However, she laughed it off and insisted to the cameras that she always joked around like that. When Riley found out what Violet had said, she called him "sensitive."

"I know what I saw! It's just another thing that I have questions about. And to be honest, it's like, 'What the f-ck is going on?'" Riley vented in a confessional.
Riley walked away from Violet and said he was ready to go back to his hotel room. Violet didn't see the problem with having "a friend," whom she claimed was her "best friend" from school.
Violet said she values trust and privacy in relationships, and said told Riley that she had never lied to him. Riley then mentioned Violet's previous marriage and what she had told him about the divorce.
Riley told Violet that he had traveled a long way to make things work with her and that her behavior wasn't helping their situation. The pair fought in the middle of a busy street, but Violet didn't want to cancel the family meeting out of respect for her mother.
Riley acknowledged how it was very bad timing to have this "blowout" fight.
That night, Riley met Violet's daughters, younger brother, mother and dog. Violet hoped Riley would maintain a positive attitude, and then Riley gave gifts -- including purses, lipstick and shoes -- to Violet's children.
Violet's mother accused Riley of having a hot temper and making Violet cry on the phone, but Riley said he didn't like being lied to and just wanted the truth. Violet's mother feared the fighting would get worse if they got married.
Riley promised Violet's family that he would work on being a better, more trusting man. He had been hurt before, but he said his feelings for Violet were real and that he believed in her.
STATLER and DEMPSEY
Statler, a 33-year-old from Irving, TX, said she had grown up with others viewing her as different or strange. She was diagnosed with ADHD and works for a logistics company from home.Statler had been adopted as an infant by parents who already had two boys. Statler said her parents had the best intentions but she never felt like she could measure up to their expectations of her.
Statler said her brothers got perfect grades while she was constantly failing and felt like a disappointment.

Statler called herself very experienced, as she's had sex in a church -- during a mass -- and in a busy elevator with people peering through the opening. Statler dubbed herself a "freak," but she noted that unconditional love is the most important thing.
"I've had many relationships, but I haven't had a single successful one. So since things weren't working with women here, seven months ago, I decided to switch my dating app location to England. For some reason, I'm into girls with an accent," Statler said.
Statler said an English accent is particularly hot and her online-dating journey led her to Dempsey, a 28-year-old from England.

Statler said she had messaged Dempsey, who responded with a cute voice note. Dempsey said she fell in love with the sound of her voice, and then after seven months of talking every day, Dempsey decided to fly out to England to meet her long-distance girlfriend in-person.
Statler was planning to fly to England in about a week, and she was convinced that Statler was going to be her "forever" person and that they'd get married. Statler said if everything went according to plan, she'd move to England -- but Dempsey was not aware of that.
Statler admitted she's crazy and was jumping the gun, but she said she wanted love and didn't want to wait long for it. She was ready to take a chance and commit to Dempsey.
"We're going to be happy and in love and eat fish and chips for the rest of our lives," Statler gushed.
"I've been waiting my whole life for unconditional love. It's always been rejections; it's always been letdowns. I don't have a lot of faith in people, but I'm putting everything that's left of my faith into Dempsey. She's worth it."
Statler admitted that if this relationship didn't work out, her heart would be "completely shattered."
Statler hoped she and Dempsey would have great sexual chemistry, and she also hoped Dempsey wouldn't be boring in that regard since she's curious, adventurous, and spontaneous.

Statler was scared that situation was going to happen again, especially because her ex-girlfriend had become her best friend.
Statler told her pal while out to lunch that her ex-girlfriend wanted her back and said she'd meet Statler at the airport in England. Statler, however, didn't want to jump back into a romance with someone who hadn't treated her well in the past.
Statler said that breakup was one of the toughest she had ever been through, but she was confident things were going to go differently with Dempsey.
Statler then packed up her bags and got ready for her trip. On Statler's way to the airport, Statler learned Dempsey may not make her flight. She was in Thailand at the time and needed to fly to London.
"Getting this text at this moment... is not helping my nerves at all. My insecurities are starting to creep back and it doesn't feel good. It sucks. Maybe she's having second thoughts," Statler vented in a confessional.
"I want to give her the benefit of the doubt. I have to put myself out there and hope for the best."
DAVID and SHEILA
The morning after David and Sheila's first night together, David told the cameras his time with Sheila was "wow" after a long two-year wait.David said his first sexual encounter with Sheila was awkward at first but then they were in sync with each other. David recalled getting very horny and hard.
"I tried to get through her donut, but my banana it was so hard to fit in," David revealed to the cameras.

Sheila confessed how she didn't feel comfortable the previous night. Sheila said it had been a long time since she last made love and so the experience was painful for her.

The pair had "a little bit of intimacy," according to Sheila, but not sex since she felt pain. Sheila therefore gave David a "BJ," before he kissed her all over her body, including her private parts.
David had been celibate for four years, which surprised Sheila.
Sheila said having sex with a deaf person was different because David was very quiet while her ex-boyfriend would talk "nonsense" in bed.
The pair then looked through each other's phones so there wouldn't be any trust issues or jealousy. Sheila found one woman in David's phone she didn't like because David had asked her if she has a boyfriend. David, however, told Sheila that he was asking for his guy friends.
Sheila then took David to a local marketplace so he could learn more about her culture and where she's from. David works at a grocery store in America, and so he thought this market was smelly and unclean. The experience was "shocking" and totally new to him.
David said he liked holding Sheila's hand while walking around the market, and the pair also looked at local sites together.
David and Sheila had both been cheated on before, so they seemed to bond over that trauma. David's ex-girlfriend was deaf and so they communicated easier, but David was afraid to tell Sheila this due to her jealousy.
CHRISTIAN and CLEO
The day finally arrived when Christian and Cleo were going to meet in-person for the first time. Cleo looked at herself in the mirror and said she's serving fish, which is "cisgender woman realness."Cleo was shown heading to the airport in England, and she said that while she wanted to kiss Christian upon first seeing him, she wasn't going to make the first move.
Christian admitted he was a little overwhelmed about meeting his long-distance love, and Cleo just hoped their first meeting wasn't going to be awkward.
When the couple finally reunited, they shared a warm embrace and then Christian gave her a kiss on the lips. Cleo apologized for being so tall, but Christian said he was fine with it.

Cleo told the cameras that Christian looked "so cute" and he was out of her league, and Christian said kissing Cleo felt "good" and any hesitancy he had melted away in that moment.
"I felt inflamed... but being in-person amplifies everything that's going on. Is this feeling of anxiousness or awkwardness going to stick around or go away quickly? I'm hoping for the latter on that one," Christian said.
"She's the first person who's transgender and autistic that I've formed a really close relationship with, and this is something that's new for me. I just hope things go really well and that neither of us end up brokenhearted."
Cleo told the cameras that she felt immediate chemistry with Christian, but she felt the need to be as feminine as possible at first. Christian, meanwhile, was worried about intimacy with Cleo and possibly disappointing her.
Cleo therefore felt mixed signals from Christian that night, especially since Christian wanted to go to bed right away.
Cleo was hoping that Christian found her attractive and would be affectionate with her in the coming days.
