The One That Got Away
1
♪♪
[Betty Who] A few lucky singles
came to this magical place
looking for love.
The portal brought them missed
connections from their past.
[Jeff] Shut up.
[Betty Who] And now the
time has come to see
if they have found the one
with this second chance.
[Betty Who] Vince closed his portal
and says he's ready to commit.
But is he moving
too fast for Yurika?
[Vince]
Like, my heart already decided,
but I hope Yurika
feels the same way.
[Betty Who] Allyssa found her prince
and closed her portal.
But will she get the fairy tale
ending she has always dreamt of?
[Allyssa] I manifested the man
of my dreams, but I am worried.
What if he isn't
ready to express love?
I would
feel pretty disappointed.
[Betty Who] Kasey closed her portal
to focus on Dylan and Simon,
but will either of them
bring her true happiness?
It's extremely nerve
wracking to decide who captures
my heart the most,
but it has to be done.
[Betty Who] Nigel closed his portal.
Will he choose a new chapter
with Alicia,
or will he attempt to
right his wrongs
and take a second chance
with Dezi?
I have the responsibility
of loving two different people
and understanding
what's important to them
and trying to figure out
how I can move forward
with the person
I'm supposed to be with.
[Betty Who] Jeff kept his portal
and his options open,
leaving his bestie, Alex,
to wonder if he's ready
for real love in the real world.
[Jeff] The portal gave me
these two great guys,
but it's almost like, time to go
and hopefully
I can make a decision
and maybe make a normal
relationship out of this.
[Betty Who] It's decision time,
and the portal
will be closing for good.
Will our new couples choose
to leave here together
or will they go their
separate ways?
♪♪
Hey, lovers.
-Hey, Betty.
-Hi!
We need to talk.
Each of you came here to take
part in an amazing experiment
that asked the question:
What if the person you're meant
to spend your future
with is from your past?
You went on dates,
you shared your hopes,
dreams and fears.
And I truly believe
that all of you took
full advantage of every
opportunity to fall in love.
Tonight, I'm sad to say
you will be leaving
this magical world.
[Nigel] What?
-[Vince] Tonight?
-[Kasey] Wait, tonight?
-[Allyssa] No.
-[Betty Who] Tonight.
Oh my God.
You all have a lot
to think about.
Huge decisions to make.
You must ask yourselves,
are you ready to be
in a real relationship
with your person?
Are they ready to be in
a real relationship with you?
Tonight,
you will take your person
to the portal
and leave together
or leave alone.
-[Kasey] What do you mean?
-[Allyssa] We need more time.
I cannot wait to find out
which of you will leave
this magical place
with the one
who almost got away.
-[Nigel] Thanks, Betty.
-[Allyssa] Thank you, Betty.
[Kasey]
Always with the damn surprises.
Well, good luck to us all.
We came here to find love.
Let's make this happen.
Let's have a great night.
-Cheers guys.
-Last night.
[Jeff] I love you all.
-[Allyssa] Love you.
-[Jeff] It's been a journey.
♪♪
[Jeff] It's pretty crazy
to think where we started
at the beginning of this
journey to where we are now
at the end of this,
when we're all making
these such serious decisions.
I think the portal
really threw me for a curveball
and this one was like,
we're really going to test Jeff.
Haven't seen Taylor in
like four years.
The first time I ever saw him
it was like
Whoa.
When I look at Taylor,
I definitely see
the physical side of things.
I feel like we have this like,
undeniably like, intense energy,
and I'm trying to see past that
because we built
such a physical relationship
with each other
that when it comes to
the emotional aspect,
I really don't know
much about him.
And then you have Alex,
who's like,
adorable and
will do anything for me.
And it's like
[sighs]
[Taylor] In the back of my head,
there are
so many questions
going on. Wondering,
what am I doing here?
I usually don't go
for guys like Jeff,
but there's something
about his personality
that I'm really connected
with and I'm really excited
and hopeful
to see where it goes.
[Taylor] Oh, this is
[Jeff] We're like old men
trying to lay down.
All right, well, um
Cheers.
It's definitely a pleasant
surprise to see you here,
haven't seen you
in four years.
And to be honest, I feel like
I don't know much about you,
but I know the time we did
spend together was
fun, to say the least.
-So cheers.
-Cheers.
Thank you.
I'm definitely sitting here
trying to just be like Jeff,
like, keep it in your pants.
Be an adult.
Get to know somebody for more
than their physical attributes.
And I think
I owe that to Taylor.
I owe that to Alex, and I,
of course, owe that to myself.
And I hope I can pull through.
The one thing I noticed
about you
the first time we met was like,
your confidence
and like, slow stroll.
Like, who is this like
mysterious man?
Just like approaching right now,
I have no idea who it is.
I would be lying if I said
the feeling wasn't mutual.
I was very attracted to you.
-Yeah.
-But I also thought you
-were really kind.
-Thank you.
I mean, here's the thing, like,
what I think is
really sexy about you?
And I've seen this
on your Instagram.
I've seen pictures of you in
the black tie going to events,
but I've also seen
you doing spontaneous things
that are a little bit
more on the wild side.
[chuckles]
And I think that's really
a good combination in a partner.
I could turn it on or, um
-You know, the other side.
-I love that.
Yeah, like I
definitely want to like
jump Taylor right now, but I'm like,
Jeff, keep your clothes on,
don't be a bitch.
Feel like that was
four years ago.
And that's not who we are now.
So you look the same.
Maybe a little hotter.
[Alex] Jeff is here for his own
journey, too.
And I'm not here
to put pressure on anyone.
I am not here to take away
from anyone's journey.
[Alicia] No, you didn't have
to pressure him.
You could have just
been, like, you know
If at the end
it's him and me together.
I want it to be because that's
what it actually is.
Not because he didn't meet
someone else
who potentially could have come.
I want it to be for me.
[Alex] I've been feeling anxious.
Me and Jeff, we had that
great date a few days ago.
You know,
we had a fun sleepover.
We opened up.
And now,
is he falling back into old
patterns and running scared?
Or does he not feel that
what we have is enough
and he still feels
the need to explore?
And honestly,
I don't know which one's worse.
Understood.
But it's tough to, like
It's a lot of waiting.
It's a lot of unknown.
It's definitely difficult.
Classic Jeff would say, Taylor,
come back with me right now,
and I think we need to refrain.
There's nothing wrong
with keeping it like this.
Taylor is a great guy.
He's so handsome and we have a
great, like physical connection.
But when I talk to Alex, it's
a genuine emotional connection.
You could just like,
see in his eyes.
We are coming to the
end of this journey,
and I think ultimately, I know
that Alex is 100% here for me.
And so that's what
I need to follow.
I'm really happy
you came here.
Me, too.
-Cheers.
-Cheers.
♪♪
What a journey
to find love.
It is tough.
I didn't know it
was going to be like this.
Like, this is the reason
why people
are afraid to fall in love,
because it hurts
when it has to be over.
It just made me
so nervous to hear
Betty say
that we have to make a decision.
But I feel like
at the end of the day,
I can't settle until
I find that extraordinary love.
This is going to be
the hardest thing
I've had to do here yet.
[Adam] I'm kind of
just playing the waiting game.
[Alex] Being honest
and being yourself
is all you can really do.
And like
-Hi.
-Hey.
[Alex] How are you?
[Kasey] My heart's pounding.
I'm looking at
Simon and looking at Dylan.
Okay.
Dylan, can I talk to you?
-[Dylan] Bye, guys.
-[Alicia] Love you.
[Dylan] Let's go.
Dude, my heart is pounding.
[Alex] If Dylan goes home,
that one is going to hurt.
Um
I actually wanted to
talk to you about us
and why you're here is
You know, we have this
connection and
I mean, you can't deny that.
Yeah, no.
I felt all these
really strong feelings for you.
Mm-hmm.
-Simon came in.
-Yeah.
And I just realized,
you know,
after going on
a date with him
That
I don't
You weren't the person for me.
I'm really sorry.
It's okay.
I understand.
That really, really sucks.
And I'm pretty
heartbroken right now.
I really thought I was going
to leave here, like with you.
Yeah, I I thought so, too.
But look
I do think you're
an amazing woman.
And at the end of the day,
like, I want you to be happy.
I really do.
And you've just opened a part
of me that has been closed off
for a long time.
And I'll like, always remember that.
You allowed me to
open my heart again.
You came along and just
There was hope.
You gave me hope, too.
I feel heartbroken.
Like my heart actually hurts,
but I've always like,
tried and tried and tried
again and in relationships,
even though I know
it's not right for me.
But I came here to find love,
and a healthy love,
and I'm happy
that I made the decision
to close the portal
and focus on Simon 100%.
♪♪
Bye.
Goodbye.
It's hard to say goodbye
to Kasey,
because I wanted
I wanted to keep trying.
I feel like I'm definitely
getting better with opening up,
but I still need to work on it.
I don't really have
a lot of regrets.
I just
try to grow and be better.
♪♪
Just give me a second, please.
[Jeff] I think I've learned so much,
and I have gotten to a point
that I can address
the difference between something
that's meant to be and something
that I need to say goodbye to.
[Alex] You know, we've been
really going through
a lot of emotions here.
[Taylor] Are you in love with Jeff?
I was kind of scared to be
the only one thinking it.
Yeah.
Oh
-[Jeff] Hello. Hello.
-[Alex] Hi.
[Taylor]
Oh, look who it is.
-[Jeff] Hi.
-[Alex] What's up?
[Taylor] Hi Jeff, how are you?
-Taylor, can I grab you?
-Absolutely.
[Taylor] Absolutely.
I love every time I get to
see you is like, so intense.
Something like I
can't even put into words,
the connection you and I felt.
But at the end of the day,
I feel like I came here
to find like, my person and,
to be completely honest,
I feel like I'm still not
even 100% sure I'm making
the right decision.
And
you are not my person
at this exact time,
and it sucks to like,
look you in the eye and like,
have to tell you that
because this is still real.
I'm proud of you for
making the decision
and listening to your heart.
I think that's really important.
So I really appreciate you.
Thank you.
Taylor
Let me walk you out.
Really enjoyed my date
with Jeff,
and I loved the housemates,
they were amazing.
I think Alex is a great guy
and if Jeff loves him,
then he made the right choice.
But I think I have
a lot to offer and
I hope Jeff sees that
later in life.
♪♪
[Jeff] So, guys, it's definitely cool
looking back.
I feel like
we all have come so far
that we should all be, like,
really proud of ourselves.
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
[Vince] I feel like it's so great now.
We can just narrow
our focus down.
We don't have to feel
anxious or nervous
and like, what's going to come
through the portal
and mix things up.
The portal like freaked me out
every single time I went through
because you literally
have no idea
who's about to come through.
So I think the fact
that it's finally closed
gives me like a sigh of relief.
There is a reason why
this universe
and this portal
has brought us together now.
We've all become
such a close, tight knit family.
Well, six different people
who honestly
-would have never crossed paths.
-Yeah, yeah.
I don't know if I would have
given any of you guys a chance.
[laughing]
♪♪
-Oh
-Crap.
-Oh.
-I knew it.
Oh, it's the agent of chaos.
How's everyone feeling tonight?
-Excited.
-Excited.
-Curious.
-Curious?
Curious.
Interesting you should say that
because I've come
with some news.
What I'm about to tell
you may change everything.
What is going on?
The portal has been bringing
missed connections
from your past
and given you a second chance
to see if they are
the one that got away.
And I know I said
the portal was closing.
But
The portal
has a mind of its own.
-Oh, fuck, no.
-What?
I'm dead, I can't.
My heart is pounding.
Betty and the portal are like
stirring shit up in my life.
I'm like why she
why she got to do us like that?
I don't understand it.
I thought we were bros.
So tonight the portal will open
for each of you
one last time.
[Kasey] With like people
that we're going to date?
[Jeff] I thought last time
was the last time.
When you're ready,
meet me at the portal.
-[Kasey] Excuse me?
-[Vince] What?
[Allyssa] Don't just drop a bombshell
and leave like that.
[Vince] Oh my Lord.
Dude, my heart is pounding.
[Kasey] Are you serious?
No, I'm done.
The portal's trash.
The portal's tempting me
being like, Jeff, come back.
Taylor just left.
And now if somebody comes back
to the portal
and tempts me again,
I'm like, fuck, like,
what am I supposed to do?
I'm actually ready.
So you want to see
who's at the portal?
I want to know what is going on.
[Vince] Curiosity killed the cat.
-Good thing I'm a human.
-[Nigel] I say we do it.
We're all going together.
Let's hope this is good.
[Kasey] Betty said it was going
to be closed,
but the portal has
a mind of its own.
So evil.
Like what in the heck?
[Nigel] It's the weirdest thing.
As soon as you think you've
figured out the rules,
Betty drops the bomb.
[Jeff] I never can just wake up
here and just like chill
and float by the pool,
there's always something.
Oh boy.
[Kasey] I feel nervous and anxious.
[Allyssa] The portal
has put me through the ringer.
[Kasey] I just thought
it wasn't possible
the portal would open again.
It's like
kind of making me angry.
Portal, you dirty, bitch.
[Allyssa] The portal and I have
a tumultuous relationship,
but you know, it's
taught me a lot of things,
and I think maybe it's
got one more lesson.
[Nigel] When Betty said that
we have one more person
coming through the portal,
my mind started racing.
Who could be here?
[Vince] Part of me wants to just send
whoever comes through the portal
right back.
[Kasey] I don't think that I can
handle any more heartbreak.
Ah!
♪♪
Shut the fuck up!
Moms, what are you doing
here, girl?
-Hi!
-Hey, hey.
[shrieks]
My parents walk through, and
it's such a beautiful moment.
[Allyssa] Oh my gosh!
Dad? T.J.?
Oh my God, come here!
Holy crap,
my dad and my brother are here.
How are you doing?
[crying]
Oh
This means the world to me
that they came here tonight.
-[dog growling]
-Oh my God.
[panting]
Leo!
Leo, Leo! Come here boy!
Leo! Come here.
Hey, buddy.
Hey, buddy.
When I walk to the portal
and see my dog Leo,
my heart just melted.
I am just so thrilled.
I've missed him so much.
He's my baby boy.
Shut the fuck up.
Max and Shanae are two people
who I'm very close with,
who have seen me
through everything
and they know me very well.
[Jeff] What the fuck
are you two doing here?
Hi, bitch.
We're here to surprise you.
He's like,
what the fuck?
Like, what are you doing here?
-What the fuck?
-Oh my God.
Oh, Shanae.
How you been doing?
I told you I was at Vacation
Bible School.
What you doing here?
Just wanted to see
how everything was going.
I'm meeting so many people,
this has been a great time.
-A lot of girls.
-A lot of girls.
-Oh wow.
-I had no idea.
How many women has
he been with
since the time
he left my eyesight?
This damn portal has sent
four dudes to try to date me.
And I closed it yesterday.
-What do you mean?
-What is closed?
-Like the sale?
-You're buying a house?
No. Like, I closed the portal,
so no more men
are coming through for me
because I found one person
that I really did vibe with.
Oh, awesome.
I have some people
that you have to meet.
Will you follow me?
-Come on in.
-Let's go.
We'll take you down
a yellow brick road.
Let's meet Yurika.
Yeah, let's go. Come on!
Come on.
Let's go.
♪♪
-Oh, thank you.
-It's a nice place.
Ooh. Cheese.
Is it just for looks?
No, you can totally eat some,
but maybe not right now.
It's the goat logs right there.
You got figs.
I love my family so much,
and they've come all this way
to support me in
my love journey.
I don't usually talk to them
about my relationships,
but I'm ready to share
this experience with them.
[Kasey] So I came here
looking to find a connection.
-Okay.
-And to find love.
And the type
of journey that I've been on,
it was really hard
opening up my heart
and then having it,
either my heart broken
or having me break
other guy's hearts too.
It's like camp, but for dating.
Yeah, and there
was definitely some
bumps in the road.
But the last guy,
he's the only one that's left
and I closed the portal.
She knows now, she's drawing
her line in the sand.
-No more candidate.
-Right.
Wow.
Through this journey,
I learned that it's okay
to to date around because,
you know, I shouldn't settle
and I feel like I've been doing
that a lot in my life,
is kind of like settling
and just going for the guy
who kept pursuing me,
but like not really
exploring any options.
Something
that I've had to learn,
you know,
from my past relationship
and knowing what
I want in a new one.
So I I think I found
a very strong potential guy
finally, here.
We have a similar upbringing.
He's also Chinese.
He just finished his MBA.
So he's very smart
and he's very cute.
Very good looking.
-He's a gentleman.
-So you respect him.
Yeah, I respect him.
And that's really important.
That is important.
And he respects my career,
which is very
important to me.
Mom would love it because
Mom always wanted
you guys to date
a Chinese girl, Chinese boy.
That's true.
Maybe she was right all along.
[laughing]
Coming here,
I had the intention of,
you know, opening
my heart again,
and I wanted to find love.
I know Mom would
want that for me
-I agree.
-during this journey.
I wish my mom could be here
to see the new Kasey.
This journey just
has taught me that
I can excel
in relationships, too.
I can be strong everywhere
in my life,
and my family will
be there to support that.
You definitely learn from this.
-Mm-hmm.
-That's a good thing.
Make you stronger.
I'm happy that you're happy.
And I love you.
This is great for you.
And I hope that it works,
it works out for you.
-Thanks.
-Good to see you.
Love you, Dad.
I love you, too.
Seeing Kasey tonight, I feel
that she's more confident
in entering
into a relationship.
Her view on dating before
was a little pessimistic.
But then she
came here and it just,
it's just nothing but hope.
And she's really growing
from this experience.
Umm
It's good for her.
♪♪
[Allyssa] And I've just told Adam
that I'm falling for him,
and that's why I want to
invite him to meet my parents.
But I'm literally shaking
because my dad,
he's super protective.
And after his stroke, he told me
he wanted me to get married.
And, you know,
maybe this is the man
that I'll marry one day
and I want him to be impressed.
There's just so many things
that could go wrong,
and I really, really hope
that none of them go wrong.
[Adam] I'm a little bit nervous,
to be honest.
I just really hope
that I can show them
that I'm the right piece
of the puzzle for her.
I didn't know all
of the guys from her past.
I only knew a couple of them.
I want to find out what kind of
plans he has for the future.
I just want to see what kind
of how he treats Allyssa.
So I don't think that Allyssa
should be thinking marriage.
It's too soon.
-It is.
-We shall see.
-Hi.
-Hello.
Mom, Dad,
this is Adam.
Sylvester Anderson.
Nice to meet you, Adam.
Nice to meet you.
-Adam Drexler.
-Adam Drexler.
-Nice to meet you.
-I met you before.
Nice to see you again.
I know your mom and your dad.
That's great.
Are you sitting down here?
Oh, yeah, you can sit.
I'm sitting over here.
Oh wow.
Allyssa's parents and my family,
we both know each other.
We went to the same high school,
so I don't know what
to expect tonight.
But meeting her
parents is a big deal.
I think I'm ready
to earn their trust
and show them that I have
the best intentions for Allyssa.
She used to work
with your mother.
Worked together.
Small world.
Yeah, small world.
I remember when your father
first came
to the University of Houston.
We were playing ball in the gym.
I was, you know, I was a college
basketball player myself.
-Yeah, that's what I do now.
-You do?
Yeah, I play
professionally overseas.
-I'm a free agent right now.
-Oh, okay.
What do you think is the next
going to be the next four years?
I have always understood
that basketball is temporary.
You can only play for
a certain amount of time.
I decided to go back
and finish school.
I left early for basketball,
so I went and finished
my degree in economics.
-At UofH?
-Yes.
Do you think you all are
close or on the same page
on wanting to have
a relationship going forward?
I think both of us are on
a lot of the same pages
on life and marriage
and things like that.
And I think that's really
all I came here wanting.
Adam, how do
you feel about that?
I feel like Allyssa
is someone that
I've always known and
admired her for being beautiful.
But the more I've
gotten to know her,
there is an internal beauty
in the way that she thinks.
And the longer I've been
here, the only thing
I found myself caring about was,
was leaving here with Allyssa.
I'm, uh
I'm really
falling for your daughter.
We're real happy for Allyssa.
We've given her advice
throughout her life as far
as how to deal
with relationships
and if she's happy,
we're ecstatic.
-Okay, love you.
-Love you, too.
[Adam] Pleasure meeting you.
Enjoyed talking with you.
Let's do it some more.
-Oh yeah.
-Let's talk some more.
If they do develop
into a relationship,
that'd be fabulous.
I don't know how
Danielle Drexler,
his mom, and Cecile
will deal with that
since they're buddies already.
The mothers in laws
and I hope
No, don't say that.
Okay, sorry
about that, mother in law's.
-But
-No.
The mothers
♪♪
I've really been struggling
because I haven't been able
to talk to my mom.
She's really where I can find my
balance, that's my foundation,
that's where I'm able to
bounce a lot of decisions
that I make in my life
off of my mom.
She just really wants
to protect her son.
And she asks questions that only
a great parent would ask.
So it's perfect
that she showed up,
and I thought it was
really important for her
to talk to both Alicia and Dezi
as I come down
to my final decision.
I have two incredible women
who are here
and they'll both
be joining us tonight.
Hopefully, you'll be able
to give me some guidance
-as you always do.
-Okay.
I'm making a really important
decision in my life.
You're a good judge
of character,
so I know that whoever it is
Well, I won't speak
too soon. Let's just
I'm very excited to meet her,
but there will be
some questions.
But ultimately, you have
to make the final decision.
Mm-hmm.
I didn't really prepare
my mom for this.
My mom showed up to see her son.
All I could tell my mom was,
Look, I have two
amazing women here.
I'm really going to get
to know them,
and I want to know what
you think.
[Nigel] So I have someone
I want you to meet.
[Alicia] Oh, man.
[Nigel] So it's actually
exciting because it's my mom.
[Alicia] What the fuck?
Nigel grabs my hand
and I'm like,
what are we walking into?
And then, bam, there's his mom.
No one gave me a warning.
-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you as well.
I'll take a seat right here.
So we were talking
so much about you
before you got here.
Oh, man.
But before we get into that,
would you like a drink?
Would you like some champagne?
Would you like some wine?
-I'll take water.
-Okay.
-Got a lot of tattoos.
-Yes.
-How many?
-Maybe like 13.
-Wow. It's quite a bit.
-Mm-hmm.
Well, I'm going to pose
the hard questions
because when somebody
pushes you harder, you change.
A mother's intuition
does play into it
because I raised him,
I gave birth to him,
and I know what's a good fit
and a good match for him.
Is that typically
the way you dress?
You know, when I get dressed up,
sometimes I wear a nice little
tight dresses
-or a nice two piece.
-Okay.
Made me a little bit nervous,
I'm over here sweating.
What do you bring to the table?
And Nigel's just
over there smiling,
and I'm like,
what the fuck?
How old are you?
-30?
Mm-hmm.
And are you currently employed?
Yes, I'm a hairstylist.
And how far did
you go in school?
I finished like a year
and a half of college,
but then I went and got,
-went to cosmetology school.
-Okay.
But now I study
like astrology
and like, stuff like that.
Miss Monica
grilled me for sure.
Lots of questions.
-How's your credit?
-Good.
Are you in therapy?
But it was a bit invasive.
To say the least.
Well, why do
you deserve to be with Nigel?
Nigel deserves
to be with me, like
Actually, I thought
that that was
kind of rude for her to say,
when you first meet someone
for the first time,
especially someone that you
know your kid is dating
or potentially
interested in, like,
I don't know
if you want to come off
as like the tough mom
or something,
but I just thought that
that was very uncalled for.
Are you okay with Nigel bringing
me along sometimes
if you and him
make arrangements to do
-some do things?
-Of course.
-Okay
-I'm like, girl.
Oh, play it off
like, yeah girl, come on,
but in my head,
I'm like, run!
And then on a scale
of one to ten,
how would you rate yourself?
A 10.
A 20.
Okay.
All in all, if I had
to give you a number right now,
I would say you're right
at about a six and a half.
Ooh, okay.
Yeah.
Tough crowd.
That's about where you had
yourself at, right?
My mom's asked
a lot of tough questions,
but at the end of
the day I know
she's coming from a place
where she just wants
to see me happy.
What do you think about this
meeting me today
in this conversation
and hanging out with
Nigel and I?
My prince.
I mean, six and a half got me
sweating over here, but you know?
You know, it's okay.
Baby steps.
All I can really think about
now is the fact
that Miss Monica
said I was a six and a half.
I just would never say
something like
that to somebody like, ever.
Like, not even a stranger.
Might need something stronger
than water after that.
Having fun?
Oh man.
What the fuck?
I don't know how I feel
about Nigel at this point,
and that's just me
being completely transparent.
I don't know.
His mom was
the questions and the rating,
and I'm not really
sure what's next
with me and Nigel after this.
Yeah.
You about to have me
over here whistling
the way you hit that corner.
Hold on now.
How you doing?
-I missed you.
-Looking good.
Thank you.
Dezi and I have a past.
Dezi met my mom.
So they had a relationship.
What's my mom going to do
in this scenario?
What questions
is she going to ask Dezi?
And where do
we take it from there?
[laughing]
Oh my gosh.
I was not expecting to
see Miss Monica at all.
-You looking good.
-Hi, Dezi, how are you?
I haven't seen his mom
since Thanksgiving.
Obviously, we know that
there's an elephant in the room.
If you truly love someone and
if they're truly your friend,
why throw everything
out of the window?
When I first kind of realized
that Nigel was talking
to other people
then I asked him, I said,
"Are we not in a relationship?"
And he said that we were.
I kept asking him
to tell me the truth.
He didn't.
You guys have been
having fun together,
but you haven't gotten out
of the honeymoon stage.
After the honeymoon stage,
the hard questions
have to be discussed.
And I kept telling you, you have
to know that you have a title.
If you don't have a title, then
why would he not see
somebody else?
He is 28.
That's what 28 year olds do.
Whenever I was around Nigel,
Nigel used words
of affirmation with me.
This is my lady.
This is my girl.
Hey, I'm with my girl.
I never feel like Nigel owed me
anything but
what Nigel did owe me,
and I still feel this
way, was his honesty.
What Nigel did owe me
was his loyalty.
He did.
And so what I'm hearing right
now is still a lot of emotion.
-Oh, it's definitely there.
-Still a lot of love.
-Still there.
-But a lot of pain.
Mm-hmm.
And until you heal from that,
you won't be able
to move forward.
But how can I heal from it
if he never takes accountability
for his role?
He's 28.
I'm not going to give Nigel
a pass to him being 28.
You don't have to
give him a pass.
[Dezi] Okay, but, how
But it just might not
be a good fit.
Okay, but at the end of the day,
Nigel knows right from wrong.
I know right from wrong.
What is it that
you want from Nigel?
In the long run,
I would like to have
a relationship with Nigel again.
If you want to be with him
there are going to be
some different stipulations.
Okay, so what are the
Let me ask Nigel.
What are your
requirements, Nigel?
Because your mother
is speaking for you,
but I want to hear you tell me,
what are your requirements?
It's very simple,
but before I answer that,
the first thing I'll say is
I apologize
because obviously
I've hurt you.
It's very clear.
From my standpoint, everything
that you just said is true.
It's a trust issue.
Obviously, you guys have
talked about it quite a bit.
And Mom, I appreciate
you for trying to
Of course.
I want you to be happy.
help as much as
you possibly can.
Of course.
And Dezi, thank you for trying
to gain further understanding.
Probably not the easiest thing.
Probably very uncomfortable.
But I appreciate it.
We just need to communicate
how we feel.
At the end of the day,
I love Nigel very much.
There's obviously
a lot for us to discuss,
but it was just important for
us to have this conversation.
Okay.
I appreciate you coming
Dezi and it's good to see you
-and just wanted to
-Good to see you.
I just want loyalty
and I want honesty,
but I do want her to know
that I have a voice too,
and I think she saw that today.
Told you we'd
have some fun tonight.
It was uncomfortable, but it was
a much needed conversation.
I think the energy
that Nigel had towards Alicia
was the energy
that he had towards Dezi
in the beginning.
Nigel and Alicia are in the
infancy stage.
Regarding Alicia,
I thought she was beautiful.
I thought she had a good energy
and a good vibe.
I think it's important
that we ask those questions,
and I think it's important that
as we build this foundation,
we understand whom
we're inviting in our family.
Okay.
But I think where I went wrong
with Dezi is because we dated,
she believed we were exclusive.
Okay.
And I think when you don't set
proper expectations,
you set each
other up to be hurt.
I think they're both
beautiful, smart,
talented and capable women.
But Nigel has to decide, does
he want to be at the beginning
where you just have fun?
Or do you want to be
at the point
where you've already done
those things,
but you want to work
on building something?
The one thing about Dezi,
she doesn't mind if I come
and hang out with you guys.
She likes to laugh
and be around family.
I would give Dezi maybe
a 6.9, and I gave Alicia a 6.5.
It's nothing wrong
with being a six.
It's not a one,
it's not a two,
it's not a three, it's not a
four, and it's not a five.
Six is good.
Flip a coin, if you have to.
[laughing]
-I love you, I appreciate it.
-I love you, too.
-Thank you so much.
-All right.
-Come on, let's get out of here.
-Let's go.
I got you.
♪♪
[Alicia] Hey, girl.
How crazy was it, talking
to Nigel's mom?
Nigel's mom and I have a
Already have a foundation.
Interesting.
First of all, who expected
to walk in to see his mother?
-I was squeezing him like
-I was like, ooh.
She's asking me
like a lot of questions.
A lot.
I felt was a little invasive.
And I also felt like
her delivery
was a little rude to me,
and it could have been bias
because she knew you
were here or
-Honestly No.
-She didn't?
She's just a strong individual.
I wouldn't even
look at that as strong.
And at the end
of our conversation,
she said, if I could rate you,
I would rate you a
six and a half.
-Miss Monica said this?
-Yes.
-What did Nigel say?
-Nothing.
He laughed.
Yeah.
Kind of ready to go.
Neither of look,
neither of us were ready for
I think
-What we walked into.
-what we walked into.
[Nigel] Alicia, can I talk to you?
Coming into tonight,
I was a bit foggy
with where I was going
to make my decision,
but spending that quality time
with my mom tonight,
hearing her ask her questions
but ultimately
receiving the answers
back from both Alicia and Dezi
has really helped me
make my decision
and what I need to do next.
I came here looking for love.
[Alicia] Mm-hmm.
-Unsure of myself.
-Mm-hmm.
And when you came through
the portal,
spending this time with you,
having been able to date you,
I feel like
we've built memories.
Mm-hmm.
I came here to find love.
Mm-hmm.
And I don't think I'm going
to continue to date you.
I'm sorry things
didn't work out for us.
It's I it's OK.
I think that throughout
this journey,
like you said,
it's been great memories,
great like a great time,
a great experience altogether.
But ultimately, I think
I was kind of
feeling the same as well.
Like, I came here
hoping for like, to see
if there was a connection.
And although we had great
moments, great conversation,
I was starting to feel like
there was a lot of red flags
and I was trying not to judge
you off of them.
-Sure.
-But it was also like, I think this
your mom was like
the icing on the cake for me,
so I'm glad we can both
like
-Mutual.
-It's mutual.
-Yeah.
-Of course.
And we can you know,
we'll be friends.
We'll stay friends and
things will, you know?
Alicia's an amazing person,
but she's not the person
I'm supposed to be with.
I hope you and Dezi
figure things out.
She's hurting.
She's hurting bad.
So like, hear her out and
like help her
through her healing process.
-That's important.
-Yeah.
Nigel and Dezi, they both,
I feel like need to heal
from their relationship.
He has, like a lot of like
work he has to do with himself.
I think when you're looking for
ultimately love
in a relationship,
you have to make
sure you are healed
and whole before
you can, like,
try to bring someone else
into your life, you know.
Mmm.
Let's get out of here.
The biggest lesson
I learned and that
I'm still learning
is to never settle.
-Bye.
-I'm going to miss you.
[Alicia] I hope you find love.
I'm learning like, not
to judge people.
Like, give them a fair chance
and I did with Nigel,
I gave him a fair chance.
But at what point
is it too much?
You know, I deserve better.
Ultimately, I feel like
it was a great opportunity
and a great experience,
and I am open to giving my heart
to someone again.
All I can say is tough

[Alex] Not Oh my God!
Hey, bitch.
Are you fricking kidding me?
It's Alex?

We called it!
We called it!

With Alex, I'm still deciding
is a smart idea to cross
that line between best friends
or be in a relationship.
And so I hope
that Max and Shanae can help me
make the right decision.
Oh, Shanae,
the thing with Alex is
I feel like
we have such a good connection,

when I'm around him,
it makes it very difficult
to like, pursue it
because it's like very
overwhelming for me at times.
And so I feel like by

focusing on each other.

talked about like

said for years.
-Ooh.
-A lot of things that like we

-Both of us.
Really?
Wait, wait, wait,
here's my question.
Yeah, I need to like
How's it been since you've
been here in this environment?
Night and day honestly.
So different from New York.
So what happens like
if it doesn't work?
Do you think you could go back
to the friend part again?
So I think like we came here
and we said a lot of the things
that we've been suppressing.
That if after this we decided
we were kind of better
as friends,
it would be a different dynamic.
If it was up to you,
would you and Jeff
end up together in the future?
Yes. I mean, there's only
so much I can do.
You know,
I can only be honest and open
and tell them how I feel,
and I'm a little nervous
that me and Jeff might just
revert back to old patterns
where we kind of just,
you know, avoid emotion.
And there's only so many times
I can, like, open myself up and
do it and like,
it's just tough.
Well, Jeff,
what are you feeling?
You think being back in the city
that's going to like,
shake shit up all over again?
Think we're not going
to be able to know
until we actually get back.
I'm feeling a lot
of emotionals here.
It just feels right and like
that's what it feels like.
[Jeff] Having that private conversation
with Shanae and Max
makes me feel like
it's such a big risk
to explore what this would be
in the real world,
because obviously we all

Jeff coming into this
journey was emotionless,
I avoided relationships
and I gravitated towards the
"Let's just have fun
and a good time."
And I think now being here,
I realize that you find
deeper connections
if you can communicate
on the harder things
you've gone through in life.
It feels really good
to tap into my emotions
and to know that I'm not broken
and that I do have like
this piece inside of me

decision alone is insane

all these things for you

I am definitely nervous.

I am going to lay my cards
out on the table

you'll never not be nervous
taking a risk
with your best friend
because you do have
so much to lose.
[Alex] My fear tonight
is that he's going
to just run scared
and just go back to old patterns
and shove all
the feelings down again.
But he has said things to me
that he has never said to me
back in our lives in New York,
which makes me think
that this could be different,
but it's definitely something
that's a little nerve wracking.
Wow. I'm nervous.
I'd be lying if I said
I was not nervous as well.
I've been so scared for
so long to kind of like,
tell you how I feel and
you know, say the words like
I'm here, I love you and
It's so scary not knowing
if you feel the same way
or if it would change
things forever.
So before coming here,
I really struggled
to find my emotions.
I don't know
if you've ever seen me cry
in the three years
we've been friends.

that you were beautiful.
But every day that I spent here,
you became more
and more beautiful to me.
You're just as
beautiful on the inside
as you are on the outside.
When we were on our
first date and we talked
about how important it
is to be supportive
and to have someone to rely on,
it occurred to me
that I had to do
something for you and
Oh.
Allyssa
This is a promise to you that
no matter what happens
and no matter where
life takes us,
I'm always going to support you
and I'm always
going to be there for you.
And this is a promise
that I'm going to keep on
falling for you after we leave
this place together.

[Vince] I came into this journey
hopeful that I would be
able to find love,
and the portal
has brought people
from my life to have represented
the different stages
of my adulthood.
I feel like, you know,
high school was Yurika.
-Hi!
-What the heck?
College was Mahnoosh.
And law school, Andrea.
Hey, how are you?
Then my recent years, Isabel.
They all contributed
to my journey here.
Good luck.
Bye.
-Hey.
-How are you doing?
Because without them,
I don't know if I would be
at this state
where I'm just ready
to completely commit.
It's kind of scary being here
in this unique circumstance,
we're able
to form that connection
in such a way
that's accelerated.
And I just need
to follow my instincts
and I need to follow my heart.
Wow. Coming on this journey,
I had no idea what
to expect, right?
I had kind of lost hope
dating in the outside world
and let alone trying to find it
on a journey like this.
I didn't think
it was even like imaginable.
But once you showed up
on our first date,
for me, it was just
something so magical.
Like not only we got to catch up
on, you know, ten plus years
of, you know,
not talking to each other
or not even having contact.
It's just so crazy
to think that,
you know, we met each other
in high school
and now we're here
standing in front of each other.
Like, our first date
was something
that was so special to me
because I feel like, you know,
even though it's the first date,
I feel like
I've known you forever
and the conversation just flowed
and like we were slow dancing.
But it was just, you know
Me and you.
And I felt like at that time,
the time kind of stopped
and I felt like, a spark and
like, a real connection there.
Talking with you and like
being on the back of that limo,
staring at the full moon
and sky full of stars,
all I could see was you.
And I felt like
I just felt like
my whole future was in my arms
and I never wanted
to let you go.
It was unlike anything
I've ever felt before.
And that's how I knew like,
this was something more
than just some type of spark
that would only last here.
So tonight.
Yurika Yoneda
I just want to say,
I love you, I love you,
I love you.
Will you marry me?
Of course.
Are you sure?
I'm shy, so like, I can't say
the words, but yes.
You make me speechless.
I didn't think
I would be here today and
How did you know my ring size?
Just so right
with like all the timing
and like, everything
that I need in a partner.
This is like, very surreal
and like,
I feel like the luckiest girl
in the world.
It feels like my life
is just starting to begin now.
I feel like tonight is
the time I finally began
writing my new
story with Yurika.
And I can't wait to share
my entire life with her.
Should we get out of here?
All right, let's go.

Wow.
There you have it.
The portal has opened a whole
new world of possibilities.
Some people found love.
Some people found themselves.
But every single person
here discovered that
someone from their past

of their future.
Maybe that's the lesson
to be learned by all of us.

[Betty Who] A few lucky singles
came to this magical place
looking for love.
The portal brought them missed
connections from their past.
[Jeff] Shut up.
[Betty Who] And now the
time has come to see
if they have found the one
with this second chance.
[Betty Who] Vince closed his portal
and says he's ready to commit.
But is he moving
too fast for Yurika?
[Vince]
Like, my heart already decided,
but I hope Yurika
feels the same way.
[Betty Who] Allyssa found her prince
and closed her portal.
But will she get the fairy tale
ending she has always dreamt of?
[Allyssa] I manifested the man
of my dreams, but I am worried.
What if he isn't
ready to express love?
I would
feel pretty disappointed.
[Betty Who] Kasey closed her portal
to focus on Dylan and Simon,
but will either of them
bring her true happiness?
It's extremely nerve
wracking to decide who captures
my heart the most,
but it has to be done.
[Betty Who] Nigel closed his portal.
Will he choose a new chapter
with Alicia,
or will he attempt to
right his wrongs
and take a second chance
with Dezi?
I have the responsibility
of loving two different people
and understanding
what's important to them

how I can move forward
with the person
I'm supposed to be with.
[Betty Who] Jeff kept his portal
and his options open,
leaving his bestie, Alex,
to wonder if he's ready
for real love in the real world.
[Jeff] The portal gave me
these two great guys,
but it's almost like, time to go
and hopefully
I can make a decision
and maybe make a normal
relationship out of this.
[Betty Who] It's decision time,

Hey, lovers.
-Hey, Betty.
-Hi!
We need to talk.
Each of you came here to take
part in an amazing experiment
that asked the question:
What if the person you're meant

with is from your past?
You went on dates,
you shared your hopes,
dreams and fears.
And I truly believe
that all of you took
full advantage of every

Tonight, I'm sad to say
you will be leaving

Huge decisions to make.
You must ask yourselves,
are you ready to be
in a real relationship
with your person?
Are they ready to be in
a real relationship with you?
Tonight,
you will take your person

I cannot wait to find out
which of you will leave

[Jeff] It's pretty crazy
to think where we started
at the beginning of this
journey to where we are now
at the end of this,
when we're all making
these such serious decisions.
I think the portal
really threw me for a curveball
and this one was like,
we're really going to test Jeff.
Haven't seen Taylor in
like four years.
The first time I ever saw him
it was like
Whoa.
When I look at Taylor,
I definitely see
the physical side of things.
I feel like we have this like,
undeniably like, intense energy,
and I'm trying to see past that
because we built
such a physical relationship
with each other
that when it comes to
the emotional aspect,
I really don't know
much about him.
And then you have Alex,
who's like,
adorable and
will do anything for me.
And it's like
[sighs]
[Taylor] In the back of my head,
there are
so many questions
going on. Wondering,
what am I doing here?
I usually don't go
for guys like Jeff,
but there's something
about his personality
that I'm really connected
with and I'm really excited
and hopeful
to see where it goes.
[Taylor] Oh, this is
[Jeff] We're like old men
trying to lay down.
All right, well, um
Cheers.
It's definitely a pleasant
surprise to see you here,
haven't seen you
in four years.
And to be honest, I feel like
I don't know much about you,
but I know the time we did
spend together was
fun, to say the least.
-So cheers.
-Cheers.
Thank you.
I'm definitely sitting here
trying to just be like Jeff,
like, keep it in your pants.
Be an adult.
Get to know somebody for more
than their physical attributes.
And I think
I owe that to Taylor.
I owe that to Alex, and I,
of course, owe that to myself.
And I hope I can pull through.
The one thing I noticed
about you
the first time we met was like,
your confidence
and like, slow stroll.
Like, who is this like
mysterious man?
Just like approaching right now,
I have no idea who it is.
I would be lying if I said
the feeling wasn't mutual.
I was very attracted to you.
-Yeah.
-But I also thought you
-were really kind.
-Thank you.
I mean, here's the thing, like,
what I think is
really sexy about you?
And I've seen this
on your Instagram.
I've seen pictures of you in
the black tie going to events,
but I've also seen
you doing spontaneous things
that are a little bit
more on the wild side.
[chuckles]
And I think that's really
a good combination in a partner.
I could turn it on or, um
-You know, the other side.
-I love that.
Yeah, like I
definitely want to like
jump Taylor right now, but I'm like,
Jeff, keep your clothes on,
don't be a bitch.
Feel like that was
four years ago.
And that's not who we are now.
So you look the same.
Maybe a little hotter.
[Alex] Jeff is here for his own
journey, too.
And I'm not here
to put pressure on anyone.
I am not here to take away
from anyone's journey.
[Alicia] No, you didn't have
to pressure him.
You could have just
been, like, you know
If at the end
it's him and me together.
I want it to be because that's
what it actually is.
Not because he didn't meet
someone else
who potentially could have come.
I want it to be for me.
[Alex] I've been feeling anxious.
Me and Jeff, we had that
great date a few days ago.
You know,
we had a fun sleepover.
We opened up.
And now,
is he falling back into old
patterns and running scared?
Or does he not feel that
what we have is enough
and he still feels
the need to explore?
And honestly,
I don't know which one's worse.
Understood.
But it's tough to, like
It's a lot of waiting.
It's a lot of unknown.
It's definitely difficult.
Classic Jeff would say, Taylor,
come back with me right now,
and I think we need to refrain.
There's nothing wrong
with keeping it like this.
Taylor is a great guy.
He's so handsome and we have a
great, like physical connection.
But when I talk to Alex, it's
a genuine emotional connection.
You could just like,
see in his eyes.
We are coming to the
end of this journey,
and I think ultimately, I know
that Alex is 100% here for me.
And so that's what
I need to follow.
I'm really happy
you came here.
Me, too.
-Cheers.
-Cheers.

What a journey
to find love.
It is tough.
I didn't know it
was going to be like this.
Like, this is the reason
why people
are afraid to fall in love,

when it has to be over.
It just made me
so nervous to hear
Betty say
that we have to make a decision.
But I feel like
at the end of the day,
I can't settle until
I find that extraordinary love.
This is going to be
the hardest thing
I've had to do here yet.

just playing the waiting game.

and being yourself

heartbroken right now.
I really thought I was going
to leave here, like with you.
Yeah, I I thought so, too.
But look
I do think you're
an amazing woman.
And at the end of the day,
like, I want you to be happy.
I really do.
And you've just opened a part
of me that has been closed off
for a long time.
And I'll like, always remember that.
You allowed me to
open my heart again.
You came along and just
There was hope.
You gave me hope, too.

exploring any options.
Something

Very good looking.

Mom always wanted
you guys to date
a Chinese girl, Chinese boy.

you know, opening
my heart again,

want that for me

This journey just
has taught me that
I can excel
in relationships, too.
I can be strong everywhere

-Adam Drexler.
-Adam Drexler.
-Nice to meet you.
-I met you before.
Nice to see you again.
I know your mom and your dad.
That's great.
Are you sitting down here?
Oh, yeah, you can sit.
I'm sitting over here.
Oh wow.
Allyssa's parents and my family,
we both know each other.
We went to the same high school,
so I don't know what
to expect tonight.
But meeting her
parents is a big deal.
I think I'm ready
to earn their trust
and show them that I have
the best intentions for Allyssa.
She used to work
with your mother.
Worked together.
Small world.
Yeah, small world.
I remember when your father
first came
to the University of Houston.
We were playing ball in the gym.
I was, you know, I was a college
basketball player myself.
-Yeah, that's what I do now.
-You do?
Yeah, I play
professionally overseas.
-I'm a free agent right now.
-Oh, okay.
What do you think is the next
going to be the next four years?
I have always understood
that basketball is temporary.
You can only play for
a certain amount of time.
I decided to go back
and finish school.
I left early for basketball,
so I went and finished
my degree in economics.
-At UofH?
-Yes.
Do you think you all are
close or on the same page
on wanting to have
a relationship going forward?
I think both of us are on
a lot of the same pages
on life and marriage
and things like that.
And I think that's really
all I came here wanting.
Adam, how do
you feel about that?
I feel like Allyssa
is someone that
I've always known and
admired her for being beautiful.
But the more I've
gotten to know her,
there is an internal beauty
in the way that she thinks.
And the longer I've been
here, the only thing
I found myself caring about was,
was leaving here with Allyssa.
I'm, uh
I'm really
falling for your daughter.
We're real happy for Allyssa.
We've given her advice
throughout her life as far
as how to deal
with relationships
and if she's happy,
we're ecstatic.
-Okay, love you.
-Love you, too.
[Adam] Pleasure meeting you.
Enjoyed talking with you.
Let's do it some more.
-Oh yeah.
-Let's talk some more.
If they do develop
into a relationship,
that'd be fabulous.
I don't know how
Danielle Drexler,
his mom, and Cecile
will deal with that
since they're buddies already.
The mothers in laws
and I hope
No, don't say that.
Okay, sorry
about that, mother in law's.
-But
-No.
The mothers
♪♪
I've really been struggling
because I haven't been able
to talk to my mom.
She's really where I can find my
balance, that's my foundation,
that's where I'm able to
bounce a lot of decisions
that I make in my life
off of my mom.
She just really wants
to protect her son.
And she asks questions that only
a great parent would ask.
So it's perfect
that she showed up,
and I thought it was
really important for her
to talk to both Alicia and Dezi
as I come down
to my final decision.
I have two incredible women
who are here
and they'll both
be joining us tonight.
Hopefully, you'll be able
to give me some guidance
-as you always do.
-Okay.
I'm making a really important
decision in my life.
You're a good judge
of character,
so I know that whoever it is
Well, I won't speak
too soon. Let's just
I'm very excited to meet her,
but there will be
some questions.
But ultimately, you have
to make the final decision.
Mm-hmm.
I didn't really prepare
my mom for this.
My mom showed up to see her son.
All I could tell my mom was,
Look, I have two
amazing women here.
I'm really going to get
to know them,
and I want to know what
you think.
[Nigel] So I have someone
I want you to meet.
[Alicia] Oh, man.
[Nigel] So it's actually
exciting because it's my mom.
[Alicia] What the fuck?
Nigel grabs my hand
and I'm like,
what are we walking into?
And then, bam, there's his mom.
No one gave me a warning.
-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you as well.
I'll take a seat right here.
So we were talking
so much about you
before you got here.
Oh, man.
But before we get into that,
would you like a drink?
Would you like some champagne?
Would you like some wine?
-I'll take water.
-Okay.
-Got a lot of tattoos.
-Yes.
-How many?
-Maybe like 13.
-Wow. It's quite a bit.
-Mm-hmm.
Well, I'm going to pose
the hard questions
because when somebody
pushes you harder, you change.
A mother's intuition
does play into it
because I raised him,
I gave birth to him,
and I know what's a good fit
and a good match for him.
Is that typically
the way you dress?
You know, when I get dressed up,
sometimes I wear a nice little
tight dresses
-or a nice two piece.
-Okay.
Made me a little bit nervous,
I'm over here sweating.
What do you bring to the table?
And Nigel's just
over there smiling,
and I'm like,
what the fuck?
How old are you?
-30?
Mm-hmm.
And are you currently employed?
Yes, I'm a hairstylist.
And how far did
you go in school?
I finished like a year
and a half of college,
but then I went and got,
-went to cosmetology school.
-Okay.
But now I study
like astrology
and like, stuff like that.
Miss Monica
grilled me for sure.
Lots of questions.
-How's your credit?
-Good.
Are you in therapy?
But it was a bit invasive.
To say the least.
Well, why do
you deserve to be with Nigel?
Nigel deserves
to be with me, like
Actually, I thought
that that was
kind of rude for her to say,
when you first meet someone
for the first time,
especially someone that you
know your kid is dating
or potentially
interested in, like,
I don't know
if you want to come off
as like the tough mom
or something,
but I just thought that
that was very uncalled for.
Are you okay with Nigel bringing
me along sometimes
if you and him
make arrangements to do
-some do things?
-Of course.
-Okay
-I'm like, girl.
Oh, play it off
like, yeah girl, come on,
but in my head,
I'm like, run!
And then on a scale
of one to ten,
how would you rate yourself?
A 10.
A 20.
Okay.
All in all, if I had
to give you a number right now,
I would say you're right
at about a six and a half.
Ooh, okay.
Yeah.
Tough crowd.
That's about where you had
yourself at, right?
My mom's asked
a lot of tough questions,
but at the end of
the day I know
she's coming from a place
where she just wants
to see me happy.
What do you think about this
meeting me today
in this conversation
and hanging out with
Nigel and I?
My prince.
I mean, six and a half got me
sweating over here, but you know?
You know, it's okay.
Baby steps.
All I can really think about
now is the fact
that Miss Monica
said I was a six and a half.
I just would never say
something like
that to somebody like, ever.
Like, not even a stranger.
Might need something stronger
than water after that.
Having fun?
Oh man.
What the fuck?
I don't know how I feel
about Nigel at this point,
and that's just me
being completely transparent.
I don't know.
His mom was
the questions and the rating,
and I'm not really
sure what's next
with me and Nigel after this.
Yeah.
You about to have me
over here whistling
the way you hit that corner.
Hold on now.
How you doing?
-I missed you.
-Looking good.
Thank you.
Dezi and I have a past.
Dezi met my mom.
So they had a relationship.
What's my mom going to do
in this scenario?
What questions
is she going to ask Dezi?
And where do
we take it from there?
[laughing]
Oh my gosh.
I was not expecting to
see Miss Monica at all.
-You looking good.
-Hi, Dezi, how are you?
I haven't seen his mom
since Thanksgiving.
Obviously, we know that
there's an elephant in the room.
If you truly love someone and
if they're truly your friend,
why throw everything
out of the window?
When I first kind of realized
that Nigel was talking
to other people
then I asked him, I said,
"Are we not in a relationship?"
And he said that we were.
I kept asking him
to tell me the truth.
He didn't.
You guys have been
having fun together,
but you haven't gotten out
of the honeymoon stage.
After the honeymoon stage,
the hard questions
have to be discussed.
And I kept telling you, you have
to know that you have a title.
If you don't have a title, then
why would he not see
somebody else?
He is 28.
That's what 28 year olds do.
Whenever I was around Nigel,
Nigel used words
of affirmation with me.
This is my lady.
This is my girl.
Hey, I'm with my girl.
I never feel like Nigel owed me
anything but
what Nigel did owe me,
and I still feel this
way, was his honesty.
What Nigel did owe me
was his loyalty.
He did.
And so what I'm hearing right
now is still a lot of emotion.
-Oh, it's definitely there.
-Still a lot of love.
-Still there.
-But a lot of pain.
Mm-hmm.
And until you heal from that,
you won't be able
to move forward.
But how can I heal from it
if he never takes accountability
for his role?
He's 28.
I'm not going to give Nigel
a pass to him being 28.
You don't have to
give him a pass.
[Dezi] Okay, but, how
But it just might not
be a good fit.
Okay, but at the end of the day,
Nigel knows right from wrong.
I know right from wrong.
What is it that
you want from Nigel?
In the long run,
I would like to have
a relationship with Nigel again.
If you want to be with him
there are going to be
some different stipulations.
Okay, so what are the
Let me ask Nigel.
What are your
requirements, Nigel?
Because your mother
is speaking for you,
but I want to hear you tell me,
what are your requirements?
It's very simple,
but before I answer that,
the first thing I'll say is
I apologize
because obviously
I've hurt you.
It's very clear.
From my standpoint, everything
that you just said is true.
It's a trust issue.
Obviously, you guys have
talked about it quite a bit.
And Mom, I appreciate
you for trying to
Of course.
I want you to be happy.
help as much as
you possibly can.
Of course.
And Dezi, thank you for trying
to gain further understanding.
Probably not the easiest thing.
Probably very uncomfortable.
But I appreciate it.
We just need to communicate
how we feel.
At the end of the day,
I love Nigel very much.
There's obviously
a lot for us to discuss,
but it was just important for
us to have this conversation.
Okay.
I appreciate you coming
Dezi and it's good to see you
-and just wanted to
-Good to see you.
I just want loyalty
and I want honesty,
but I do want her to know
that I have a voice too,
and I think she saw that today.
Told you we'd
have some fun tonight.
It was uncomfortable, but it was
a much needed conversation.
I think the energy
that Nigel had towards Alicia
was the energy
that he had towards Dezi
in the beginning.
Nigel and Alicia are in the
infancy stage.
Regarding Alicia,
I thought she was beautiful.
I thought she had a good energy
and a good vibe.
I think it's important
that we ask those questions,
and I think it's important that
as we build this foundation,
we understand whom
we're inviting in our family.
Okay.
But I think where I went wrong
with Dezi is because we dated,
she believed we were exclusive.
Okay.
And I think when you don't set
proper expectations,
you set each
other up to be hurt.
I think they're both
beautiful, smart,
talented and capable women.
But Nigel has to decide, does
he want to be at the beginning
where you just have fun?
Or do you want to be
at the point
where you've already done
those things,
but you want to work
on building something?
The one thing about Dezi,
she doesn't mind if I come
and hang out with you guys.
She likes to laugh
and be around family.
I would give Dezi maybe
a 6.9, and I gave Alicia a 6.5.
It's nothing wrong
with being a six.
It's not a one,
it's not a two,
it's not a three, it's not a
four, and it's not a five.
Six is good.
Flip a coin, if you have to.
[laughing]
-I love you, I appreciate it.
-I love you, too.
-Thank you so much.
-All right.
-Come on, let's get out of here.
-Let's go.
I got you.
♪♪
[Alicia] Hey, girl.
How crazy was it, talking
to Nigel's mom?
Nigel's mom and I have a
Already have a foundation.
Interesting.
First of all, who expected
to walk in to see his mother?
-I was squeezing him like
-I was like, ooh.
She's asking me
like a lot of questions.
A lot.
I felt was a little invasive.
And I also felt like
her delivery
was a little rude to me,
and it could have been bias
because she knew you
were here or
-Honestly No.
-She didn't?
She's just a strong individual.
I wouldn't even
look at that as strong.
And at the end
of our conversation,
she said, if I could rate you,
I would rate you a
six and a half.
-Miss Monica said this?
-Yes.
-What did Nigel say?
-Nothing.
He laughed.
Yeah.
Kind of ready to go.
Neither of look,
neither of us were ready for
I think
-What we walked into.
-what we walked into.
[Nigel] Alicia, can I talk to you?
Coming into tonight,
I was a bit foggy
with where I was going
to make my decision,
but spending that quality time
with my mom tonight,
hearing her ask her questions
but ultimately
receiving the answers
back from both Alicia and Dezi
has really helped me
make my decision
and what I need to do next.
I came here looking for love.
[Alicia] Mm-hmm.
-Unsure of myself.
-Mm-hmm.
And when you came through
the portal,
spending this time with you,
having been able to date you,
I feel like
we've built memories.
Mm-hmm.
I came here to find love.
Mm-hmm.
And I don't think I'm going
to continue to date you.
I'm sorry things
didn't work out for us.
It's I it's OK.
I think that throughout
this journey,
like you said,
it's been great memories,
great like a great time,
a great experience altogether.
But ultimately, I think
I was kind of
feeling the same as well.
Like, I came here
hoping for like, to see
if there was a connection.
And although we had great
moments, great conversation,
I was starting to feel like
there was a lot of red flags
and I was trying not to judge
you off of them.
-Sure.
-But it was also like, I think this
your mom was like
the icing on the cake for me,
so I'm glad we can both
like
-Mutual.
-It's mutual.
-Yeah.
-Of course.
And we can you know,
we'll be friends.
We'll stay friends and
things will, you know?
Alicia's an amazing person,
but she's not the person
I'm supposed to be with.
I hope you and Dezi
figure things out.
She's hurting.
She's hurting bad.
So like, hear her out and
like help her
through her healing process.
-That's important.
-Yeah.
Nigel and Dezi, they both,
I feel like need to heal
from their relationship.
He has, like a lot of like
work he has to do with himself.
I think when you're looking for
ultimately love
in a relationship,
you have to make
sure you are healed
and whole before
you can, like,
try to bring someone else
into your life, you know.
Mmm.
Let's get out of here.
The biggest lesson
I learned and that
I'm still learning
is to never settle.
-Bye.
-I'm going to miss you.
[Alicia] I hope you find love.
I'm learning like, not
to judge people.
Like, give them a fair chance
and I did with Nigel,
I gave him a fair chance.
But at what point
is it too much?
You know, I deserve better.
Ultimately, I feel like
it was a great opportunity
and a great experience,
and I am open to giving my heart
to someone again.
All I can say is tough

It's Alex?

is a smart idea to cross
that line between best friends

that Max and Shanae can help me
make the right decision.
Oh, Shanae,
the thing with Alex is
I feel like
we have such a good connection,

when I'm around him,
it makes it very difficult
to like, pursue it

overwhelming for me at times.
And so I feel like by

focusing on each other.

-Both of us.

Wait, wait, wait,

Yeah, I need to like
How's it been since you've
been here in this environment?
Night and day honestly.
So different from New York.
So what happens like
if it doesn't work?
Do you think you could go back
to the friend part again?
So I think like we came here
and we said a lot of the things
that we've been suppressing.
That if after this we decided
we were kind of better
as friends,
it would be a different dynamic.
If it was up to you,
would you and Jeff
end up together in the future?
Yes. I mean, there's only
so much I can do.
You know,
I can only be honest and open
and tell them how I feel,
and I'm a little nervous
that me and Jeff might just
revert back to old patterns
where we kind of just,
you know, avoid emotion.
And there's only so many times
I can, like, open myself up and
do it and like,
it's just tough.
Well, Jeff,
what are you feeling?
You think being back in the city
that's going to like,
shake shit up all over again?
Think we're not going
to be able to know
until we actually get back.
I'm feeling a lot
of emotionals here.
It just feels right and like
that's what it feels like.
[Jeff] Having that private conversation
with Shanae and Max
makes me feel like
it's such a big risk
to explore what this would be
in the real world,
because obviously we all
are friends in New York,

Jeff coming into this

on the harder things
you've gone through in life.
It feels really good
to tap into my emotions
and to know that I'm not broken
and that I do have like
this piece inside of me

decision alone is insane

I am definitely nervous.

with your best friend

so much to lose.
[Alex] My fear tonight
is that he's going
to just run scared
and just go back to old patterns
and shove all
the feelings down again.
But he has said things to me
that he has never said to me
back in our lives in New York,
which makes me think
that this could be different,

Wow. I'm nervous.
I'd be lying if I said
I was not nervous as well.
I've been so scared for
so long to kind of like,
tell you how I feel and
you know, say the words like
I'm here, I love you and
It's so scary not knowing

things forever.
So before coming here,
I really struggled
to find my emotions.
I don't know
if you've ever seen me cry

Lipstick all over you.
You look amazing.
Hell yeah.
-Let's go.
-Let's do this.
Simon is the perfect person
for that.
I really feel so.
She would say, I think you
finally found a good one.
Stick with this one for a while.
[Nigel] This was the weirdest,
most challenging, most difficult
experience of my life,
but I'm grateful for it.
When I came here,
I was looking for love.
At the same time, I have
learned a lot about myself.
I learned that
relationships take work.
It's easy to say that
a person checks a box
or, you know, she does this
and she has that.
But ultimately,
it's not a Dezi thing.
It's a Nigel thing.
And I have to decide
that this is what I want,
and I think I'll be able to walk
out tonight and understand that.
♪♪
[Nigel] Betty came today and said,
look, this is your last day,
you're down to your last person.
What are you going to do?
Dezi came to me
with a little bit of hurt
from some of the past decisions
that I made, and I for sure,
was not ready for a commitment
when I first met Dezi.
The Dezi that's in
my life today loves me.
She's ready to be with me.
It's very scary.
It's a big responsibility.
I would say commitment's
an issue for me, and
I don't want to hurt Dezi again.
Dezi, I've been trying to find
the right words to say to you,
trying to figure out how
I can reciprocate
the love that you've shown me.
You ask me for trust,
you ask me for communication,
but I want to ask
for your patience.
I want you to have the
man that you deserve.
As I'm sure you know,
this is really,
really hard for me.
The first thing you said
to me when you
came out of the portal
is, I love you.
And Dezi, I want you to know,
I love you.
I love you today.
I love you in the future.
I love you unconditionally.
I made mistakes in the past.
I grew from those mistakes.
I came in selfish.
Dated multiple women
while being here.
What they taught me is,
I have everything I need.
Everything I need,
everything I've wanted is you.
I love you very much.
Are you okay
with building a foundation
-of repairing our relationship?
-Yes.
And I feel like we built
the foundation.
You showing up here
and prioritizing me
showed me how much I could
potentially mean to you.
I want to reciprocate the love.
I'm looking forward
to being in love
and walking through
the portal with you.
-I love you.
-I love you, too.
Yeah.
♪♪
At the end of the day,
I needed to understand
who is truly the one that I'm
supposed to leave here with.
I came here to find true love.
I found that true
love with Dezi.
♪♪
This whole journey
has been rocky but beautiful.
I came here guns blazing,
saying I wanted a ring,
I wanted marriage
and I wanted all of that.
And now I think, you know,
maybe all I really need
is to leave here with
somebody who cares about me
and who loves me
and who's kind.
And I think that I've found
the one person that got away.
And I wouldn't
have it any other way.
[Allyssa] I'm so nervous,
I don't even know what's
going to happen tonight.
All I know is that
I have chosen the person
that I want to leave here with.
I want a life together.
I hope that he does, too.
Adam
When I first started
this journey,
I was so lost.
I'd never been in love before.
And my journey here
started off so crazy.
Hi, how are you doing?
Oh my God.
And for a minute there,
I had given up
on the fairy tale.
It's too hard!
I don't want to be here.
And then you came
through the portal.
Oh my God.
And I knew right away
that you were special
and you have shown me
so much about myself
and about the way that
I want to become
a better person for you.
And I can say now
with a happy
heart that I love you.
Prior to coming here,
I didn't know what to expect.
All I knew was that I still had
that admiration for you,
and I always knew
that you were beautiful.
But every day that I spent here,
you became more
and more beautiful to me.
You're just as
beautiful on the inside
as you are on the outside.
When we were on our
first date and we talked
about how important it
is to be supportive
and to have someone to rely on,
it occurred to me
that I had to do
something for you and
Oh.
Allyssa
This is a promise to you that
no matter what happens
and no matter where
life takes us,
I'm always going to support you
and I'm always
going to be there for you.
And this is a promise
that I'm going to keep on
falling for you after we leave
this place together.
-I love you.
-I love you, too.

[Vince] I came into this journey
hopeful that I would be
able to find love,
and the portal
has brought people
from my life to have represented
the different stages
of my adulthood.
I feel like, you know,
high school was Yurika.
-Hi!
-What the heck?
College was Mahnoosh.
And law school, Andrea.
Hey, how are you?
Then my recent years, Isabel.
They all contributed
to my journey here.
Good luck.
Bye.
-Hey.
-How are you doing?
Because without them,
I don't know if I would be
at this state
where I'm just ready
to completely commit.
It's kind of scary being here
in this unique circumstance,
we're able
to form that connection
in such a way
that's accelerated.
And I just need
to follow my instincts
and I need to follow my heart.
Wow. Coming on this journey,
I had no idea what
to expect, right?
I had kind of lost hope
dating in the outside world
and let alone trying to find it
on a journey like this.
I didn't think
it was even like imaginable.
But once you showed up
on our first date,
for me, it was just
something so magical.
Like not only we got to catch up
on, you know, ten plus years
of, you know,
not talking to each other
or not even having contact.
It's just so crazy
to think that,
you know, we met each other
in high school
and now we're here
standing in front of each other.
Like, our first date
was something
that was so special to me
because I feel like, you know,
even though it's the first date,
I feel like
I've known you forever
and the conversation just flowed
and like we were slow dancing.
But it was just, you know
Me and you.
And I felt like at that time,
the time kind of stopped
and I felt like, a spark and
like, a real connection there.
Talking with you and like
being on the back of that limo,
staring at the full moon
and sky full of stars,
all I could see was you.
And I felt like
I just felt like
my whole future was in my arms
and I never wanted
to let you go.
It was unlike anything
I've ever felt before.
And that's how I knew like,
this was something more
than just some type of spark
that would only last here.
So tonight.
Yurika Yoneda
I just want to say,
I love you, I love you,
I love you.
Will you marry me?
Of course.
Are you sure?
I'm shy, so like, I can't say
the words, but yes.
You make me speechless.
I didn't think
I would be here today and
How did you know my ring size?
Just so right
with like all the timing
and like, everything
that I need in a partner.
This is like, very surreal
and like,
I feel like the luckiest girl
in the world.
It feels like my life
is just starting to begin now.
I feel like tonight is
the time I finally began
writing my new
story with Yurika.
And I can't wait to share
my entire life with her.
Should we get out of here?
All right, let's go.
♪♪
Wow.
There you have it.
The portal has opened a whole
new world of possibilities.
Some people found love.
Some people found themselves.
But every single person
here discovered that
someone from their past
can be an important part
of their future.
Maybe that's the lesson
to be learned by all of us.
For those of you watching,
keep in mind:
there's a good chance
you already know the one.
So don't let
them be The One That Got Away.
