The One That Got Away (2022) s01e09 Episode Script

♪♪
[Betty Who] Hey friends,
before your guests arrive,
I have something to tell you.
Your time here will
soon be coming to a close.
What?
[Betty Who] Each of you are currently
dating two people
and each of you
has one more arrival
[Vince] Oh shit.
ready to come
meet you at the portal.
[Nigel] When?
Not now.
[laughing]
Nigel's stressed.
Okay, okay.
You will use tonight
to make your decision.
[Nigel] Oh.
Are you happy with
the two people you're dating?
Or do you want to say
goodbye to one of them
Oh my God.
and bring in your last arrival.
You're kidding me.
So use tonight wisely.
Good luck.
Thanks, Betty.
Then she just disappears
into the shadows.
[Vince] Always with the surprises.
Can you stop doing that?
[Vince] Oh my God.
[Allyssa] Oh my God,
my heart just dropped.
How am I supposed to
make a decision in like a day?
-That's a lot.
-I did not have, like,
nearly enough time with Simon.
Oh my God. I can't
Each of us
only has one more arrival.
Are you going to take
the chance
to send someone home
for possibly someone better?
Or that could be not as good.
I just feel like
we're gambling out here, guys.
Yeah. I don't even know who
I would even send home.
[Kasey] Well, they're here.
[Jeff] Let's get the answers
we want tonight.
[Kasey] Get the most
of tonight, right?
[Dezi] Sup, bitches?
[Simon] I told you, you looked
Seriously, you looked really good.
-[Kasey] You do, too.
-[Simon] Thank you. Thank you.
You're more buff than
when you were at NYU.
I've been trying.
I've been trying.
-Yeah?
-[laughing]
Hey Jeff, do you mind if I pull
you for some one on one time?
[Jeff] Oh, for sure, yeah.
[Jeff] This is one look for camping.
Well, you know.
[Allyssa]
So how's everything going here?
Yeah, everything's going good.
It's just fun to see, like
everyone enjoying each other
and just interacting, you know?
-[Allyssa] Yeah.
-[Jeff] Mm-hmm.
I just wanted to steal you away.
That's a lot of people.
Yeah. No, I'm glad you did.
[Allyssa] I have a lot of mixed
emotions tonight.
On the one hand, Adam
I literally can't
stop thinking about him.
I think that Adam is a
really incredible man
and, who knows,
he could be the one.
But on the other hand,
I find Jeff very attractive.
I think he's the cutest guy
that has walked through
the portal so far.
-Like, when we were in school.
-Mm-hmm.
Like, I thought
you were probably annoyed by me.
No, no.
I can embrace all
your goofiness
and all your funny, beautiful,
witty qualities.
Jeff and I went to USD together
and we were in
the same freshman dorms.
Jeff definitely knew what
I call
the booty shorts phase
version of Allyssa.
I thought that it was cute
to wear Daisy Dukes that were
two inches short and like,
wear them
without any remorse.
But I don't think
he was mad at me
wearing the super short shorts,
to be honest.
This is the Jeff that
I think I wanted to see.
I've been trying.
I'm here for you and I'm here
to explore what we have.
And I'm having
a really good time, obviously.
Yeah, me too.
I think me and
Jeff naturally connect.
He told me everything
that I needed to know.
The conversation
flowed super easily.
We were able to just crack jokes
just like back in the day.
-Cheers.
-Cheers.
[Allyssa] I want to explore
both relationships.
I'm still not sure
if I want to open the portal
again and send Jeff home.
Ugh, this is dry.
Oh, I hate that.
I need some water.
Yep, milk.
I'm hyped.
If I had to put a scale
on my confidence,
I'd probably be like
a ten out of ten.
I feel like it went really well.
I feel like
we were really connecting.
And if I was in a maze,
I feel like I'm a little
closer to the treasure.
You know what I mean?
It's like hanging from my
I really hate it.
♪♪
[Vince] The stakes
have definitely gone up.
I have a really good thing
going with Yurika,
but I think me
and Yurika are kind of just
tiptoeing around
some of these key terms
like love, long distance
relationship
Trying to make sure
that we're both going
on the same page
because I really want to see,
is that fairy tale
going to last outside of here?
If we were to leave
this place together,
what do you think about that?
One of the concerns
I had was that like,
I live in San Francisco
and you live in L.A.
So like
So does that mean
like, you wouldn't want us
to be in a relationship?
I do have a lot of like things
I still want to learn
about you, right?
So, like right now, it's a
little bit too early to tell.
[Yurika] I'm just a little bit
confused about like,
you know, where we stand
and like if
for on the same page, so it's
just like Vince is so perfect
that like,
I never experienced this before.
But at the same time
is what we have right now
going to be different
when we go back
to the real life?
I just can't wait to have
like, our love story and live
that love story with you
because it could be
the most beautiful story
that's ever been told.
We're so cheesy.
I know.
I do have concerns. He's just
too perfect to be true.
So I'm like,
trying to pick up red flags.
Oh, what is, you know,
missing, right?
I can see myself falling
head over heels for you.
I just like,
get a little bit, like, scared.
I don't know.
-That's why I just
-I don't know. Yeah.
That's why I like
I make it a priority of mine
to reaffirm to you.
Like, look you and see
you in the eyes and tell you
that like, my feelings
for you are so real.
And it's like, so exciting.
Being able to go on
these magical dates with Yurika
and then now that
we have to leave
she is kind of scared.
You know, I'm kind of nervous.
I wanted to tell you how I felt.
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
Look who it is.
-Hello.
-Welcome back.
Adam, I was wondering
if I could pull you for a chat.
-Yeah, sure.
-All right, let's go.
Jeff, of course, me and him
are here for the same girl
and we are opening our hearts
and we're so vulnerable.
[Adam] This is a nice place
for a couch.
-[Allyssa] Yeah?
-[Adam] Yeah.
Sometimes it doesn't always
go the way we want,
and I just hope for me
that it does, and it is real.
[Allyssa] You know,
we have only so much time left,
so I just wanted to get
like your thoughts on,
like what you see,
like, wanting going forward.
So for me, you know that
I obviously have
feelings for you.
Yeah.
You're precious.
That sounds so cheesy, but
you have this aura about you
where you don't really care
how others perceive you.
You're just going to be
Allyssa and purely Allyssa.
-Yeah.
-And I love that about you.
-Yeah.
-That's my truth.
I'm trusting my heart with this.
Yeah.
Wherever it leads me.
Me, too.
I just like how sweet Adam is,
like, sometimes
I feel like maybe he checks
the asshole within me.
Jeff's back is to us;
we can kiss.
Oh, okay.
[Allyssa] I mean, obviously, I have really
strong feelings for Adam.
That feeling
of butterflies in my stomach
that I I didn't even think
that I could feel again.
I haven't felt it
since I was like 17.
I want to spend more time
with him.
But, you know,
Jeff's really, really great.
And he deserves
more time with me too.
[Vince] I'm really glad you're here.
[Andrea]
Thank you. I'm glad to be here.
It's scary coming in
and not having such a deep,
you know, past relationship
or friendship with you.
I know you
have another love interest.
Are you still open
to getting to know me?
[Vince] Yurika has been here
for a little while,
but at the same time,
I do want to explore,
you know, how things
are going to go with you.
You're always so like,
like, bubbly, so energetic.
I always thought
you were really pretty
and I would see you around
campus and like,
we would exchange
like the gaze and, like
Yes, the gaze.
I'm going to go with that.
-That's it. Yeah.
-[laughing]
He's expressed that
he's open and willing.
So I'm going to follow his lead
and kind of put
my concerns and fears aside.
But yeah, if he does
have those feelings,
I just don't want
to waste my time
or my emotions
or get too invested with Vince.
[Vince] I feel like it's super important
to be with someone that is able
to understand your ambitions,
you know, like your career.
So I think that's like,
that's really cool
that like, you know,
we met in like law school
because like, yeah, we get it.
Like, just going through law
school together, you know,
like, you know, how hard it took
to get to where we are.
[Andrea] Yeah. It's special, like,
not a lot of people
understand that journey.
It's it's a lot.
[Vince] My decision is
going to be very difficult.
I know I have really
strong feelings for Yurika.
That you know,
I was pretty sure
that we were on the same page
that she felt the same way,
but now kind of scared that
Yurika might have reservations.
I think for us, it's like,
because we started as friends,
I think that's a great
starting point for us,
you know, because
we can continue
to manifest that
friendship and naturally
turn it into something
more romantic
and the fact that
we are attracted to each other.
Yes.
I think that kind of sets
the tone for something
that could actually last
and builds a great foundation.
-Yeah.
-With Andrea, she gets me
in terms of my career path,
and I can totally see us
enjoying really fun
weekends together,
incorporating each other
in our daily lives.
I do have one
very upfront question.
Sure.
I'm African, so I'm
thinking, husband.
I mean, I want a family.
I want children.
If we did get together,
years down the line,
would your parents accept me?
Yeah, absolutely.
My parents are
so, like, open-minded.
I have friends from like all
different backgrounds and like
The reason why is because my
parents, like, really wanted me
to live a lifestyle
filled with diversity
and filled with,
like, you know
Just meeting people.
That's beautiful.
And I love that.
I mean, the fact is,
I'm a Black woman
and Vince is an Asian man
and we have different
backgrounds, you know,
different cultures,
different, you know, histories.
And I want to make sure
that if I did
pursue a relationship with him
that his family would accept me,
which I think is an important
conversation to have,
and I'm glad
we got to have that,
especially on the first date.
Yeah, and Blasian babies
are honestly, really cute.
So fire, if I do so.
♪♪
[Kasey] I'm conflicted
because we have the cutie Simon,
where he just came in last night
and brightened
my whole damn night,
and then I have Dylan.
Which I know our conversation
was really tough last night.
As soon as the cameras were off,
you did not kiss me.
You didn't even hug me goodbye.
Yes, I did.
I think you interpreted
what happened last night
in maybe a way that I did
not mean for it to come across.
I want to believe
everything he says,
but it's still hard
for me to trust him.
Dylan has some work
cut out for him, for sure.
How are you feeling?
-Yeah?
-We've been through a lot.
[Dylan] We really have. Yeah.
[Kasey] How do you feel about
last night?
Um, it just really hit me
when I saw how hurt you were.
It just made me really upset
about the misunderstanding
and how like, I never intended
for you to feel like that.
I'm not going to lie like
I'm I'm still hurt.
I totally understand that.
Are you just saying
what I want to hear?
I'm gonna ask you straight up.
Yeah.
Like, how do you feel about me?
-I mean
-Honestly, like, do you like me?
Like, did you
mean it when you said
you were falling for me?
Yeah. I mean, everything I've
said about you has been true.
Like, I am allowing myself
to feel it more and more.
It's just like we talked about
you, like me being thrown off
by the physicality
for me, like,
it can be hard for me
to show that.
And it's something
that I'm working on.
But I do get scared sometimes.
I was
I've been alone for so long.
But I do like you and I want
to make sure that you feel good.
I didn't even know
I was going to make a decision,
whether or not
you were going to stay,
you know,
in my life in general.
And I did have a change
of heart at the end of the day
and wanted
to give you another chance.
[laughing]
I hope we can have fun
and move forward
and obviously
you're special to me
and that I care about you a lot.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have
put up with everything.
Yeah, I'm really happy I can
stay and see where this goes.
Yeah, me too.
Not feeling great,
to be honest.
[Dylan] Simon coming in,
I think that was like
the first time here I've been,
like, really worried
because there's a connection
between them.
♪♪
[shouting]
Hello?
[Nigel] My mind is racing simply because
I have two amazing women here.
Betty explained
that I have one more arrival,
so I'm going to have
to make a decision as to,
is it going to be Dezi?
Is it going to be Alicia?
But ultimately, what's behind
door number three?
I have Alicia who
You know, she's been here from day one.
She's been outgoing.
She's been a great time.
We've had some amazing dates.
And then Dezi,
I'm really familiar with Dezi.
I know who Dezi is.
She's been consistent
since the day I met her.
I really hope tonight helps
me narrow down my decision
as I'm on this journey
to find love.
[Alicia] So how you been?
[Nigel] Oh, good.
I've been chilling.
Okay.
You're always smiling.
You should smile, right?
When you're having a good night
with good people?
[Alicia] Beautiful people.
[Nigel] It's been a little minute
that I've seen you.
[Alicia] I know.
So it's like, what's up?
What are we going to do?
We're going to do this?
Or what?
What's been on your mind?
-What are we doing?
-I don't know.
Like, is this short term,
long term?
-Like, where's your head at?
-You tell me.
Where's your head at?
I feel like
I'm still a little nervous of
taking a step forward,
but I do feel like that
I've opened up to you
and I've become a
little vulnerable.
But I do want to see
where it goes,
and if you're open to like,
taking it slow with me.
So I guess
like, what's kind of like,
keeping me and having
my mind spinning in it,
and you kind of
just touched on it
just a second ago
when you said, like,
you're nervous, right?
Like, what makes you nervous?
Well, there's a
couple of things.
Okay, so since our last date,
your ex comes in
and she tells us,
like how you cheated on her
and that kind of
was a red flag for me.
I have been like,
hurt really bad
in the past with my
ex with him
just like walking out
on our relationship.
So Nigel's infidelities
in the past with Dezi,
it makes me nervous
and it makes me anxious.
Like, have you
Are you still that same person?
Have you grown from that?
Like, are you really looking
for something serious?
When we came here,
it was kind of clear that I
would be dating multiple people.
-Yeah.
-Right.
And I think that the difference
between where I was at
with Dezi was more
that I wasn't transparent.
Mm-hmm.
The other girl that I was dating
knew that I was dating Dezi.
Where I went wrong was
I wasn't clear
and I wasn't transparent
with Dezi
that I was dating
someone else.
So you guys were never fully
in a relationship?
We were dating.
Y'all was just like
courting each other.
-Correct.
-Oh, okay.
I'm here to find love
and be able to be
with someone that I love
and be able
to build a family with.
I mean, the fact of the matter
is, I owe you honesty.
-Mm-hmm.
-I owe you communication.
Everything else is something
we're going to grow together
and potentially be able to see
if this works for both of us.
-Can we do that?
-We'll see.
As of now, I do feel like me and
Nigel are connecting very good.
I'm trusting someone again
and being open, and vulnerable,
like, I didn't see it happening
this fast at all.
Let's see where it goes.
Let's see where it takes us.
Okay.
Can I have a kiss?
Yep.
-[Kasey] So I am so excited
-[Simon] This is a lot. I know.
that you are here.
-Oh my God, we got blankets.
-Blankets, hell yeah.
[Simon]
Sitting down with Kasey tonight,
I think there was
definitely a spark.
I'm excited
to hang out with her more.
I'm really glad that you
came out here.
I'm so happy to be here.
It's good to see you.
Did you see how big my
smile was?
I saw, I saw you.
When I saw you come
through the portal.
I was like
[gasps] Fuckin' Simon!
Oh, that makes me happy.
Yeah, I was
I was really happy to like,
see you there and
like, you look so good
and I always thought
you were so cute.
Thank you.
And you
literally look the same.
The correct answer is more buff.
Oh, but you look bigger.
[Simon] The Dylan thing.
You know what?
We're both here
on our own paths with Kasey.
We're both looking for a
connection of our own,
and that's my thing with her.
And his thing with her.
What are you looking for in a
relationship and like a partner?
We're going head first.
Yeah, I'm just wondering,
like, you know,
we ain't got no time to waste.
I'm here for it.
Yeah, I really am interested
in like how you've grown
as a person,
you know, from college to now.
And what didn't work for you
in a relationship?
And, you know, what
you're looking for?
Yeah, yeah.
-So I think
-And are you ready for one?
That's a great question.
I think Now I am, for sure.
I think, definitely
during business school
I wanted to take the time
to just learn more about myself,
explore and see what works,
what doesn't work.
I think I've gotten a lot better
idea of what that is.
So, like a girl who brings
positive energy.
She lifts
other people up around her,
just generally positive vibes.
I think you definitely
have that.
I was like,
are you describing me?
This girl right here? This girl
right here?
I was like, I'm positive.
I lift people up.
-You lift people up.
-Okay.
Anyway, so that's what
I want from a girl.
-Yeah.
-I'm pretty career oriented,
like, I want a girl
who can do that as well
and who values that.
-So we're like the same person.
-Yeah.
Like everything you said is what
I'm looking for in a partner.
I know you work hard
and that's something
like I value in another person
because I work really hard
at what I do.
So your values and mine like,
would align very closely.
-It's just super cool.
-Thank you.
I have my work cut out for me.
Simon, this new eye candy
has his shit together,
his life together,
his stable career.
It's like everything
I'm looking for, it's crazy.
And then on the other hand,
Dylan and I have
had our ups and downs,
so the fact that
we are still here
for each other speaks volumes
about our connection.
Oh my God, are you allowed
to have feelings
for more than one person?
This is insane. This is going
to be such a tough decision.
[Nigel]
You know where you're going?
[Dezi] No, I'll let you lead.
[Nigel] One of the toughest parts
about being with Dezi
and dating Dezi is
discussing some of the pieces
of our friendship
and our relationship
that just need growth.
I think Dezi is uncomfortable
telling me what she wants
because she does not want
to push me away.
It's like the elephant
in the room.
Dezi knows where I need to grow.
I know where Dezi needs to grow.
But we need to be honest with
each other and communicate that.
[Nigel] How you doing?
-[Dezi] I'm cold.
-[Nigel] You cold?
[Nigel] You sure?
You've got a couple of blankets
on, you gonna be all right.
You're gonna warm up
just nice.
I got everything with the
hot cocoa for you.
That's it.
That's it.
[Dezi] So, you having fun?
Yeah, I mean,
I'm having a good time.
[Dezi] Really, really, really
having fun?
[Nigel] I'm having a good time.
What are your thoughts?
Like obviously, you're in
a completely
different environment,
like what are your
thoughts just being here?
I guess,
I'm fearful to expect
something from you
after a while.
And then like,
I have another situation where.
well Nigel wants to explore
something else.
I have a fear of
you losing interest.
I'm afraid
that Nigel is going
to disappoint me again.
I need to know where he is.
I need to know where he is
and it's uncomfortable
because I'm afraid to ask,
and he's afraid to answer.
I just want to know
that you're for real.
If I can commit to you
trust and communication,
we can figure the rest out.
Right.
Well, let's use that as our
foundation.
Let's figure it out from there.
-You sure?
-I'm sure.
Kiss me on the nose
if you're sure.
-Okay.
-Kiss.
I kind of believe you.
Damn.
You know, you can't
be doing that to me.
Just when I thought
I had it figured out,
as far as my decision on who
I would be leaving with,
things got a lot more difficult.
But I know I'm going to have
to make a decision very soon.
So I really just want to reflect
on what was said tonight
and hopefully be able
to make the right decision.
I want to put in the effort and
I want to find the right person.
[Jeff] Is this a camping outfit?
[Alex] Um, no.
I think after hearing what
Betty said it makes tonight
that much more important,
that I really do need to pull
Mark and Alex aside.
Shall I pull you away?
-Maybe.
-All right, let's go.
[Mark] I'd be into that.
[Jeff] I think with Alex, I'm still
deciding, is it a smart idea
to cross that line
between best friends
or be in a relationship?
And I think with Mark,
yes, we have a great time
together.
But why all of a sudden
now do you think this is
the opportunity that you want
to be in a relationship with me?
I will say, like, although Alex
and I feel like have
this like, longevity
aspect to it,
and then I feel like
when it comes to you and I,
there's this exciting
aspect that I don't have. Right?
Yeah.
You and I obviously have had
like, great chemistry for years.
We always end up alone somewhere
talking in a corner.
I do feel like
it gets to a point
sometimes that I do
feel bad for
let's say like you,
because I feel like Alex
sometimes does have this
like overbearing thing over me.
Then like, let's say he sees
like you and I in a corner.
Yeah.
He'll come disperse that moment.
-Yes.
-Like, "Let's take a shot."
[Mark] Yeah. Always just seemed like
he definitely saw that
there is something here.
And like, maybe
felt threatened by it.
I know them both
outside of this world here.
And Alex, like babies Jeff,
like he like,
comes and makes food
for him and like
but not in any
sort of romantic way.
It's kind of like a mother.
[Mark] I feel like our worlds
get along so great.
To me, it feels very right
in like the best way.
No, I could not agree more.
Like, I feel like
everything about you
honestly does
make so much sense.
It just makes me happy.
Like, I have this stupid
smile on my face.
And it's confusing.
I'm like, I'm so confused.
[Alex] I met Jeff a few years ago on
a dating app, actually.
Kind of ingrained each other,
you know, like, very ingrained
in each other's lives.
And now he's one of
my closest best friends.
[Vince]
A little bromance to romance.
I think for him to be
exploring something with Mark,
it's like you had
three years to do that.
-[Jeff] Do you want to go with me?
-[Alex] Yeah.
[Alex] I've come too far
here to turn back.
I won't let myself
repress it again.
I'm not hiding my feelings
anymore.
I need to see where it leads me.
What do you think a relationship
would look like
for us outside of here?
I honestly don't think
a relationship for us
would look that different
from what we
already kind of do.
You know, we kind of do
a lot of the things already
that people
in relationships do.
We spend a lot of time together.
We have sleepovers,
we travel the world together,
and there's a reason we're still
doing it three years later.
[Jeff] This is weird to say,
and I don't mean offensively.
Oh, here we go.
I'm saying like,
I feel like you and I like,
already are past that
initial spark moment
because it feels like
we've literally been
in a relationship
for three years already.
-Yeah.
-A real relationship.
Yeah.
[Alex] You're the first person
I talk to in the morning.
You're the last person I usually
talk to before I go to bed.
But if I was out on a date
with someone
and you called me and
I saw I had a missed call from you,
I would excuse myself and go
call you back,
because I would kind
of rather talk to you
than the other people.
[Jeff] It's tough to figure out.
I mean, like,
I feel like
it's going to be interesting
in the event that
we pull the trigger on this
to go back to our normal lives
-and see how this all pans out.
-Yeah. Translates to real life.
It's so corny.
I have like a weird smile.
I don't know what
I'm doing right now,
but like it just felt good
to like
look him in the eye and
actually like, talk about things
that I'm sure we both have like
internally felt at some point.
I'd say Alex and I are
both facing our fears right now,
which is like, you know,
something nobody ever
wants to do.
But I think once you do it
and overcome it,
it's a great feeling.
[Jeff] I'm glad we had
this conversation.
Me, too.
[Alex] You know, I kind of felt that
it was such a unique opportunity
that if I didn't say
these things,
I would probably regret it.
You know, maybe it just
took me, you know,
actually verbalizing them
to see what could be.
I'm happy you did it.
Me, too.

[Jeff] Let me take this off.

I went to bed
with a lot of anxiety, actually.
I am conflicted.
Simon is checking off
all the boxes
that I am looking for
in a new man,
but I still have
feelings for Dylan.
I think I really was falling
for Dylan.
That's why I'm giving
him so many chances
despite all these red flags.
Am I being stupid?
Do you like him
just because he's tall?
How do I know
if he's being real?
I feel like my heart
is like a basketball.
It's just like being
played with.
[Vince] I felt like it went so well with
me and Andrea at the camp out.
I was genuinely surprised.
Me and Andrea connected on
a whole 'nother level,
could totally see us
leave together and having
a really great relationship.
But at the same time,
I still really care for Yurika.
When we were at the camp out,
she was a little bit worried.
Is this actually going
to stand the test of time?
There's so much left
to do, to see.
Is this actually practical
to make a long distance
relationship work?
And as much as I'd love to live
in this dream with her here,
at the end of the day,
we have to face reality.
[Nigel] I feel like my conversation
with Alicia,
we're really making progress,
we're really starting to grow.
I can tell that each time
I'm meeting with Alicia,
I'm starting to gain a little
more access to her trust.
But then there's Dezi, right?
She's the giver.
She gives her heart.
She's offered me her heart.
There's a level of urgency
because we have to make
a decision about
who we want
to move forward with,
and are we going to go back
to the portal?
Really tough question
for me to answer.
[Jeff] I wouldn't say waking up
next to Alex
is completely out of the norm,
but waking up next to Alex
after doing some things
was out of the norm.
Plus, he's my best friend,
so I think it's difficult to
risk all of this.
[Allyssa] So today I woke up having
Adam on my mind.
Adam makes me feel safe.
And I think
Jeff is a super cool guy.
We could have a lot of fun
together.
He's very, very hot.
I do need to figure this out.
This is almost going
to be coming to an end
and the portal is open
for the last time, right now.
So I'm going to do
what's right for me.
I hope I find the one
and that he gives me a,
you know, yellow diamond ring
that's princess cut,
pave on the sides,
and a gold band.
And I think that
that's going to make me happy.

-Thank you.
-Hi.
-How are you?
I'm good, how are you?

I had my alone time with Jeff.
He said all the right things
and I had an incredible night
last night getting
to know more about him.
[Alex] Damn, she's strutting in

I did come here wanting a ring
and I mean business.
I can't help the way that
I feel when you know,
I wake up every morning
and can't stop thinking
about one person
and not another one,
and it doesn't always feel great
and I want to pursue that
and just focus on progressing
that relationship.
You know, just being here
and I missed
like when we were friends.
-Like
-I know.
You know, I could still
see the funny spirit
still inside of you
and that still gorgeous,
beautiful Allyssa that I didn't
get to know too well in college,
but that I do remember.
And I've just really appreciated
getting my time with you,
cracking jokes with
you like always.
That's where we started,
so I figure that's the way
we're going to end up.
You're so sweet.
But, I do have stronger feelings
for someone else.
Okay.
I think that you're
a really great guy
and I've had so much fun
getting to know the you
that you've grown into.
But I'm going to have to send
you back through the portal.
I appreciate you.
And even though
it didn't work out,
I respect your decision.
Give me a hug.
Jeff is kind of what my old
patterns would have been like.
He's really attractive.
He's really sweet,
but he's not going to be
able to support me
and give me motivation
that I want
as much as Adam
has said that he can.
I'm feeling
pretty upset right now.
I came out here for a reason
and that was to make
a connection with her,
and I feel like she didn't
really give it a fair chance.
I just feel kind
of disappointed.
But at the end of the day,
I respect her decision.
So I hope she finds happiness.
Closed my portal
so that I could focus on Adam,
and I think that that's
what I want for myself.

I'm not sure ultimately
what my heart

Andrea, do you think I could

tremendous courage

to be part of my journey.
I don't want to waste
any of your time, right?
Yes. Yeah.
But I just wanted to let
you know I do feel like
I have something
really special with Yurika.
Yeah.
I think you being part
of this journey for me
also has really helped me
realize that.
Like, I'm very, very grateful
just to have the chance
to even take you out on a date.
-It's true. The privilege.
-The privilege. Exactly. So
I mean, we're cool regardless.
I just wish you would have
said that on the date.
I did see the sparks
between you and Yurika.
I do see it. I'm not blind.
So
Yeah, of course.
I mean, I get it you know.
I think it wouldn't be fair
if I just, you know,
-wrote you off right away.
-Like, no date.
-Exactly, right.
-Okay.
So, I hope that you leave
here with great memories.
I had asked you on
the date, you know,
whether you were feeling her

and building connection
and obviously you weren't.
Yeah, I feel like Vince comes
off like romantic,
like charming, like,

You've pretty much
addressed it.

coming out of business school,
I have a lot better sense
of what it is I am looking for.

We met like four years ago.
We went on a date and we had a
really great connection tonight.
It was fun.
I've pushed myself further
than I ever have before
to say the things that I've been
terrified to say for years.
With this new person in the mix
that it would be so easy for
him to just like run scared
and put his energy into
someone new is frightening.
Did he kiss you?
There was a bit of tongue.
-Smoochies!
-Oh!
On the season finale of
"The One That Got Away"
[Betty Who] Tonight you will be
leaving this magical world.
[Kasey] What?
[Jeff] When I look at Taylor,
I feel like we have
this intense energy,
but Alex is still
head over heels for me.
I still don't know
what the fuck I'm doing.
It's so hard to be an adult.
[Betty Who] What I'm about to tell
you may change everything.
The portal has a
mind of its own.
[Kasey] Oh, fuck no.
I'm dead, I can't.
What the hell?
[Nigel] As soon as you think
you've figured out the rules,
Betty drops the bomb.
Shut the fuck up.
Oh, portal you dirty, bitch.
What a journey to find love.
This is going to be
the hardest thing
I've had to do here yet.
[Vince] Tonight, I'm going
to lay it all on the line.
[Yurika] A part of me fears
that I don't really know him
like outside of this.
[Alicia] Kinda ready to go,
to be honest.
[Dylan] Just gimme, just like,
give me a second, please.
[Alex] I love you
and it's so scary.
I feel like I don't know how
to even say it.
[Nigel] I have the responsibility
of two lives right now,
loving two different people.
Will you marry me?
[Kasey] I don't think that I can
handle any more heartbreak.
