02x07 - Episode 7

[bunniefuu]

[narrator] Previously on [/i]Love Island…

Connor, a kiss.

…fears…

Mackenzie.

She real hot right now. She mad.

…led to tears.

For him to do that today,
I'm just, like, "What?"

You know, there's a point where
I'm not gonna be such a pushover.

And a dramatic recoupling…

I would like to couple up with…

Caleb.

Calvin.

…with an emotional double elimination.

Jeremiah and James, say your good-byes.

I hope y'all find love, man.

Tonight…

…new girl Lauren enters the villa.

Oh, wow.

Lauren's the hottest girl
that's walked through the villa.

-[Carrington] That's ridiculous.
-I mean, she's stunning.

I think you're her type.

And we find out
who she goes on a date with.

Oh, dude. Tre.

♪ Got the future in my hands, fire, fire [/i]♪

Higher, higher [/i]♪

[narrator] Last night, like a mountain[/i]
climber during a midlife crisis,[/i]

emotions were high…

You have 30 minutes to say your good-byes.

…after a recoupling saw
two OG boys, James and Jeremiah,

dumped from the island.

-I'll miss you.
-I hope y'all find love, man.

-Bye, man.
-All right.

Saying goodbye to two friends
and half of the J names in the villa

left Carrington understandably upset.

I really didn't expect to feel so bad.
I figured he would go,

but I just… Seeing it,
it's different, you know?

Yeah.

I didn't think I'd be that close
with them, either,

after such a short amount of time,
like that.

[Carrington] Goodbyes aren't easy to me.
My parents are military, right?

The only thing I can relate this to
is when you're a kid,

you meet a kid
and you become best friends,

and you hang out every day
and you do everything together.

And then that kid's parents
get sent overseas,

and then the next day, I'm gonna wake up

and they're not gonna be there, you know?

That's kind of how
things have gone for me.

I just want to check on you.
I know that was a hard loss for you.

Yeah.

As was everyone, but obviously,
I'm very invested in you,

-and I wanna make sure you're okay.
-Yeah.

Thank you, I'm fine. I'm always fine.

But it's okay if you're not fine
sometimes, or any time.

Seeing Carrington emotional tonight

has definitely helped me
see another side of him.

I've seen multiple other sides,
but I've never seen

the open and vulnerable
and emotional side of him,

so it's really nice

to see that he does have that
and that is there.

I'll let you know. Thank you.

-Yeah.
-But yeah, I'm good.

Well, get up, babe,
and give me a hug and a kiss.

[narrator] During the recoupling,[/i]

Moira chose Calvin over her partner James.

She reminisces with friends,
enjoying some of the finest wine,

served in the finest plastic.

[Johnny] Oh, yeah. You're in a new couple.

-Yeah. I loved the whole crush thing.
-Talk to us.

-Can I be honest with you guys?
-Yes.

[Moira]
When I had to say goodbye to James,

it was like the end of, like,

such a… situation check.

-A roller coaster.
-Such a roller coaster.

-Did you feel like a weight lifted?
-You guys saw me in the beginning.

And now, I don't know.

I feel like I have more,
like, space to breathe,

to, like, breathe into a new relationship.

You know, James and I started off
so strong

and just didn't finish off strong.

And to basically have to send him home

was, like, the hardest thing ever.

How was your first recoupling?

[sighs]

You had some sweet things to say.

I was like, "Hmm, I hope I know
who she's talking about,"

-you know?
-Oh, so glad you liked it.

I really have appreciated

your openness

to see, hey, you know,

is this, is there a connection here?

Is it better than the connection I had?

That was the toughest part.

Super sad that our friend James left.

-Absolutely.
-[sighs]

I moved so fast with James,

and I thought, like,
everything could be great.

And it kind of blew up in my face.

And I'm a little more reserved this time,

because I wanna make sure
that we are going through this

on a slower page.

Like, you just let me know,
in terms of, like…

-where your head's at.
-Mm-hmm.

I feel like Moira and I definitely
see eye to eye on a lot of things.

I want to make sure
that we do things the right way,

the way that she feels comfortable with,

and make sure that we're, uh…[/i]
we're in synchronization,

on the-- on the right track,
moving forward.

Like you said before,
you take it day by day.

-Yeah.
-You know, day by day.

I'd love to take this day by day with you.

[narrator] Rachel chose new boy Caleb[/i]
over Jeremiah,[/i]

who left behind 12 good friends

and a high-quality waterproof mic pack.

I'm excited to be in here, coupled up.

You know, it was
a stressful couple of days.

Yeah. Yeah.

As long as we're open
and continue to communicate,

I think both of us are gonna be just fine.

I'm really looking forward to just

kinda letting our guard down
and having some fun

and seeing where the future takes us.

-Okay. It's okay. It's worth that hug.
-[laughs]

[narrator] With a touching speech,[/i]

Justine recoupled with her little
Tre of sunshine.

[Tre] How do you feel about tonight?

I was so nervous. Did you like my speech?

When I heard you say all of that,

it just kinda turned everything around.

Like, I was smiling.
Like, I was happy, okay?

I was happy, Justine.

-You made me happy.
-Yeah?

Yes, you did. And obviously,
I was kinda sad,

'cause I knew
Jeremiah was gonna be leaving.

But on a night full of

like, events and some sad stuff,

you were the highlight of my night.

-For real.
-Really?

You made me feel good, Justine,

and I don't wanna mess this up.

Give me a hug.

-I appreciate you.
-Oh!

Tre!

Let me give you my three kisses.

Forehead.

Thanks.

She's still looking for Carrington,
and he's still not here.

What's that man doing?

He's just, like, really one
with his feelings this evening.

Are you a mask sleeper, or you just kinda,

you can fall asleep,
you're used to it now?

Uh, I can go both ways.

I've done a little bit of both.
What about you?

I never have been
the eye bra kind of person.

-Eye bra!
-No, I haven't.

What?

-You're in trouble, Carrington.
-For what?

Because you missed a lot.

-What did I miss?
-Your girl's been missing you a lot.

-She's here looking at photos of you.

the sleeping Islanders have no idea

She's hot. She's British.

I'm Lauren. I'm from Oxford in England,
and I live in LA.

Usually when I walk into a room,
I do kind of feel a lot of eyes on me.

My take on girl code
is that it definitely exists.

Like, I would never take
one of my friends' men.

But the one guy in the villa

that I find to be the most
attractive right now is Johnny,

and we can be, like, a great power couple.

So if I have to hurt somebody's
feelings to do that, like…

I have to think about my feelings, too.

[narrator]
The across-from-Caesars Islanders[/i]

have a package from across the pond
waiting for them on the sun bed.

[gasps]

There's a girl outside!

Lauren's one hot crumpet. Wait. Too easy.

Does it look like she'll end up scone-ly?

[laughs] No. Look, she's hot and British[/i]

and probably going to cause
some drama. Enjoy.

-[Cely] Hey, girl!
-[Rachel] Hi.

-She's like, "Who's screaming?"
-Hello. Hi, darling.

-How are you?
-I'm good. How are you?

-I'm Rachel.
-I'm Lauren.

-We just woke up.
-Nice to meet you.

Hi. I know. I've been up for a minute.

-I'm Carrington.
-I'm Lauren. Nice to meet you.

-You look amazing!
-You're tiny!

[Cely] New girl in the villa.

She's so freakin' hot.

Like, we literally all woke up
looking crusty as hell!

You look hella good!

-I had more time. Thank you.
-You smell good.

-Welcome!
-Thank you. I'm so excited to be here.

I'm, like, trying to take it all in.
It's gorgeous.

-Your accent!
-Your accent!

I'm British, yeah.

[in British accent] She's British!

-Hi. How are you?
-Hi. What's up? I'm Caleb.

I'm Lauren. Nice to meet you. Hello.

I'm gonna grab my mimosa
and then follow you guys, I guess.

Being out of quarantine feels amazing.

And then everybody is, like,
so good-looking, so it's nice.

And to be free to be able
to, like, talk and touch

and be people again, I'm like,

"I forgot what it was like
in the old times."

-Hi, guys. It's so cute in here.
-Hello.

I can't get over your accent.
It's amazing.

[Lauren] Thank you.

So, of course, who are you feeling?

Honestly, I really don't know.

[Mackenzie]
Literally, from the moment I saw her,

I was like, "Connor is not her type."
There is no way that would happen.

Connor and I made it official.

-You did? Congratulations.
-Yeah.

-So we're boyfriend-girlfriend.
-[Lauren] That was fast.

Connor, buckle up, buddy.

-I think you're her type.
-I think she's coming for you, bro.

Yeah, she looks really good.

[Carrington] She's got a body too.

Would you entertain her
if she came to you?

If she was, like, the initiator…

-Oh!
-…I think so.

Lauren looks very attractive.
Her look right now,

I think would be a look

that a lot of guys here
would go for, including me.

What's y'all's plan of action?
I'm kind of scared to talk to her.

She's a beautiful girl.
Her British accent is really attractive.

We've got to show her around, though.

-There it is. Oh!
-Oh!

Yeah, I know. I'm excited.

Lauren, you want to let us
show you around?

Yes, I do.

Let's go. [laughs]

-Oh, yo.
-Look at these bodies! Oh, my God.

I'm just excited.
I don't know what to expect,

but I'm kind of feeling like
Johnny seems like he's pretty cool,

trying to be helpful.

Um, Carrington is hot, and I like him too.

He's a little bit reserved,
but I got to feel it out.

I can make coffee.

Or somebody can make me coffee,
'cause I don't know how to do it.

If I see the machine, I can figure it out.

-I got it. I got the coffee.
-[siren wailing]

[narrator]
That siren is the wah-wambulance[/i]

called by the other girls.

[Carrington] Connor, where's the coffee?

Where are you from?

From Oxford.

-How old are you?
-29.

-29.
-Mm-hmm.

Yeah, a lot of you guys are babies.

-Babies? I don't know about that.
-[Carrington] We're all mature.

[Johnny] Is age a problem for you?
Dating younger guys?

No, I usually date younger guys,
to my detriment.

[Connor] Really? To your detriment?

-Maybe it'll be a blessing this time.
-Maybe.

[Tre] How do you feel about
potentially stealing somebody?

I don't think I have a choice.
You've got to steal someone, right?

-You gotta do what you gotta do, right?
-Exactly.

[Carrington]
You'll get to know everybody, for sure.

I'm gonna get to know everybody, for sure.

-There's some ice in there.
-Thank you.

I haven't seen much of you, Carrington,

but I was like,
"I don't know if I could trust you."

[all laugh]

Yeah. So, I feel that Connor and Mackenzie

seem like they're very controlling.

[all] Ooh!

She just told me you guys
made it official. Congratulations.

-So, it, uh…
-Girlfriend-boyfriend?

-…it's not completely there yet.
-[Lauren laughs]

Did she say that to you?

-You poor boy. Yeah.
-[Connor] Okay.

[narrator] Uh, Connor, have you told[/i]
Mackenzie that you're not official?[/i]

Because she officially thinks
you're official.

I-- I feel like I am also there.

-I don't know.
-You're getting there?

-It was, like, a playful thing.
-How do you really feel?

I do feel like I have those feelings
towards her right now.

Um, I haven't officially made
a special way of asking her yet,

-but I do feel I'm at that point.
-Okay, right.

All right, cool. Yeah.

Things just got spicy,
with Lauren coming into the villa.

And honestly, I feel like Mackenzie
should be the most concerned,

if Lauren shows any kind of interest
in Connor.

Lauren's definitely the hottest girl
that's walked through the villa.

Oh, wow.

Man, this is interesting. [laughing]

-We're gonna go work out.
-[Lauren] Okay. Nice to meet everybody.

Nice to meet you too.

Do I just pour it straight in?

Yeah, basically.

[narrator] Mackenzie and Connor[/i]
hold a conference[/i]

to discuss the various matters of the day.

Item one, Lauren.

Item two? Actually, I doubt
they'll get around to item two.

-[Connor] So, what do you think of her?
-[Mackenzie] I think she's cool.

-Yeah?
-I'm not, I don't feel, like, intimidated.

I think she's beautiful
and I think she's amazing,

-but I'm not, like, threatened.
-[Connor] Sure, yeah.

Did you have a chat with her at all?

Like, we were all kind of

just around here talking with her.

I didn't say a whole lot.

But yeah. So she was just
kind of giving us, like,

the rundown of what she thought
of each of us and stuff.

[Mackenzie] What did she say?

She goes, "And I know you
and Mackenzie are very love birds,

-lovey-dovey."
-She said that?

Yeah. She did mention
what you'd said to her.

And I did say that we are official,

but I did wanna make it special to you,

-and I was still figuring that out.
-Aw!

I feel like if I was one of the girls,

the one that should be
most worried right now is Mackenzie.

[Carrington] Yeah.

[Tre] I'd be overly concerned
if I was Mackenzie right now.

She just came in and changed
the whole vibe of the villa.

[upbeat music playing]

[Caleb] Dude, y'all trying to… [laughing]

[Cely] Oh, my God, the new girl's body.
Are you kidding me?

-Yes, Lauren!
-What the hell? You're k*lling it!

[Johnny] Did you see it?
That's ridiculous.

Yeah, they make 'em different in the UK.

We're here to take risks,
not play it safe.

[Tre]
All I know is it'd be a horrible feeling

to be in the girls' shoes right now, man.

Ooh. I don't know why, but that OJ
is really hitting the spot.

The fact that they just
made it official last night.

-I didn't know about that.
-[Tre] They didn't. She made it official.

[Johnny] If that was me, after everything
we talked about last night,

that would be almost a deal breaker.
I'd be like, "Excuse me?"

-[Mackenzie sneezes]
-God bless you. God bless you.

[Mackenzie sighs]

Enjoy your workout, boys.
We'll be watching.

-How did that go?
-I told her what I told Lauren,

that I'm, like… it was like,
we-- we are there.

I did wanna make it, like, more,
like, special and official with her.

Um, and she was like,
it was smooth, it was cool.

I am bamboozled right now.

Yeah, your reaction
said everything in there, bro.

You're not in a relationship with her.

You're keeping your options open.

Bro, when someone asks you, "Do you
have a girlfriend?" you say yes.

Um…

I think my loyalty to Mackenzie
just kinda outweighs,

like, me making the first move.

So, like, um, you know,
Lauren hasn't done that yet.

Um, and I think once
she selects one of you guys,

then that'll kind of put closure to it.

If she comes up to you
to get to know Connor,

will you talk about Mackenzie
and your relationship?

Or are you gonna be
talking about Connor and Lauren

and the possibilities
that could take hold?

[Caleb] A lot of the dudes
walking around here,

you know, looking really confident
in their relationship,

are about to be tested for the first time.

And I got my popcorn ready.
I can't wait to see what happens.

If I'm being completely honest,
I am very open to getting to know her.

Yeah?

[narrator] Welcome back.[/i]

Here we have new girl Lauren
having a convo with Connor.

Well, she's trying to,
but Mackenzie is so chill

that it's difficult to speak.

It's all happening, guys.

-[Mackenzie] Are you so excited?
-I am pretty excited.

I know sometimes it can get,
at least for me,

it can get kinda exhausting,

-feeling like you have to go 100%…
-And talk to everybody all the time.

…and talk about your emotions
to every single person.

I know.

Don't feel you have to rush things.
If you're feeling that way…

-Yeah. I don't want to feel rushed.
-Yeah.

Then, like, you might make a rash decision

before you have fully comprehended
how you feel towards things.

Right. You know, this is not
my style to come in and be like,

"Hi, how do you feel about me?"
I don't know.

Like, let me learn you first.
Let me see how you are.

[Mackenzie] Lauren is a girl
who's very confident.

You can tell that just by looking at her.

I mean, I'm not threatened whatsoever.

I wouldn't be threatened.

I mean, she's stunning,
but I'm not the type

to be like, "Oh, I'm so nervous."

Like, no. Not at all. [laughs]

It's almost like your position right now,

because you're the first person
to come in here

and not go on a date with someone
because you picked them.

-Oh, good point, babe.
-[Lauren] Yeah.

Your position is almost like,
"This is what dating is like."

Connor is hot, but it's impossible
to even get within six feet of him

without Mackenzie, like, wrapping
her arms around him or something.

So I'm like, "Dude, I'm just trying
to get to know everybody here."

"It's not that serious."

Try to do your best, as hard as it is,

to not be guarded,
especially with the girls.

I mean, I know it's new,
and, like, everything.

But no, I don't feel guarded. I feel
like everybody is nice and whatever,

and it'll all come and fall into place.

[Calvin] Come on over, Lauren.
Come on over and chat.

[Lauren]
I can't tell if I'm already burning

from, like, ten minutes over there.

How was breakfast?

-[Carrington] It's good.
-[Lauren] Yeah?

Does anybody wanna go in the water,
like, in a little?

-I think we're all gonna go swim.
-In a bit?

-Do you wanna talk?
-Yeah. You wanna go talk?

Yeah. Let's go.

I don't know where's not too hot
that you're gonna burn.

[Carrington] Uh, we can go up here.

I figured you were gonna
start pulling people.

[Lauren] Yeah. I wanted to pull you.

I'm not sure.
I can't put my finger on you yet.

So, who… I'm gonna drop a b*mb on you.

Who physically attracts you the most?

You have to get to know
everyone's personality.

Um, you.

I don't know. I haven't
figured you out yet, so…

Yeah, you'll have plenty of time.
I'm, like, open to talking to you.

-Right. It's all so new.
-So don't even feel…

Yeah, I wouldn't feel weird about
pulling me, or especially anybody.

If only you heard, like,
the talks we all have.

Like, nobody here's really like this.

-They're not.
-That's what everybody's been saying.

That they're, like, it's not, you know.
Nothing is as it seems.

Nobody really knows how anybody's
really feeling, or their intentions.

-No.
-Who knows?

[Kierstan]
Okay, that convo's lasting way too long.

What are they even talking about?

-I have no idea.
-This is a long chat.

-How are you feeling?
-Uneasy.

-You don't need to be nervous.
-Yeah.

Oh, my God. I feel like I can,
like, feel, like…

-Can you not make me cry right now?
-[Justine] Don't cry.

-No, don't cry.
-No, you're good.

-You're too fire right now to be…
-You are too fire.

Girl, I promise you, you're good.

We're all in the same boat here.
She wants to get to know Johnny.

-No, no, I know that. It's just like…
-She's gonna talk to everybody.

…regardless of the fact.
Like, I know how this works.

-It's just not a good feeling. Yeah.
-Yeah.

I think you're good, though.
I think Carrington is so into you.

-They are until they aren't.
-Mm.

Ay-ay-ay.

You could be a big game player.

I guess you'll have to find out.

I feel like you've got
a couple of layers in there

-that you're holding on to…
-Yeah.

…that I think are in there
somewhere, that I'd like to see.

As we talk more, I think
I'll definitely open up more.

It's pretty cool to see that Lauren
is way down to earth, you know?

She's very realistic.
I love when people are realistic.

I think we need some more people
who are real.

And, uh, Lauren obviously is super hot.

Well…

-It was nice talking to you.
-Nice talking to you too.

Yeah. But I think it's good.

You're already opening up
a bit more than I thought.

Yeah.

[Lauren] I know you've got more sides
to you, so that was…

I can see that in you, too. I see…

I can kind of pick up, like,
a vibe that we're similar, but…

Yeah, we are similar.

I don't know if that's a good thing
or if that's a problem.

[narrator] Kierstan is worried that Lauren[/i]
might steal Carrington from her.[/i]

Let's see what she has to say
about the current British invasion.

Honestly, it was a good convo.
It wasn't anything…

-I was like, "Are they on a damn date?"
-It wasn't anything bad at all.

-I was really just…
-Getting to know her?

Well, getting to know me.
I didn't ask her too many questions.

I mean, I wasn't sure.
I was kind of losing my mind.

-Yeah. I mean…
-But that's just how I am.

I get in my head about everything,
and then I just implode.

No, it's all right. Like, I mean,
last week, I mean, the same thing.

When you get pulled,
obviously I'm in my head too.

You just have to trust
who you're talking to.

And that's what I keep saying.

Like, don't stress
the things you can't control.

But, I mean,
I suck at taking my own advice.

I'm glad you told me that.

I'm losing my mind. That's how I do.

I don't, like, express things outside.
I just kind of implode.

Cely was just like,
"I can feel it radiating off you.

I've never seen you like this."
I'm like, "I don't get like this."

I mean, I lost it.

You're all right.
You don't need to be sad.

-Everything's the same.
-Nothing to worry about.

Yeah.

[sighs] I just… I don't know.
I've never felt this way before.

I think the reason
it's upsetting me so much,

it's just back to my past.

I've been cheated on,
and for everyone to be like,

"You seem so secure,
I feel like everything's gonna go great,

she's just feeling everyone out."

And it's just gonna be so embarrassing

if it's like, wow, one conversation
to keep everything open.

I went on two dates,

and all I could do was talk about him.

All I could do was think about him.

Oh, I can't even get into this.

It is what it is.

Can't control it. Can't change it.

Just hope for the best. [laughs]

Give me a hug. I need it. Mm.

Mm.

[narrator] Welcome back to [/i]Love Island,
where, much like a small country[/i]

with natural resources
and a weak military,

Carrington has quickly fallen under
British influence.

[Carrington] I told Kierstan,
"Me and you are very happy."

But I told her
she's allowed to talk to me,

she's allowed to get to know me,
just like people got to know you.

We're all good.
I just know, like, she comes off

-like she's gonna have a freak-out.
-Yeah.

I'm not here to just have
a villa girlfriend and then bounce.

I want someone that I can
take into my life after this.

So right now, I'm not sure
if that's Kierstan.

I'm physically more attracted
to Lauren, for sure.

And I think that the conversation
that we had, one conversation,

was so much more interesting than
the ones I've had with Kierstan.

-You need to listen to yourself.
-Yeah.

'Cause, like, what I'm hearing is

if you stay with Kierstan,
you're playing it safe.

-Basically.
-And bro, this girl's mature.

[Carrington] I really do like Kierstan,
but I'm tired of just

pushing people away
and not getting to know them.

Because what if my perfect match
is somebody else? You never know.

This is when the girls
feel the power switch.

It's very dramatic.

-Yeah.
-Like, it's very obvious, bro.

-Yeah.
-And it's very unattractive to me.

And all the guys are trying to do

-is make the girls feel more comfortable.
-Yeah.

Poor Kierstan.

Tre! Behave yourself.

[Justine] He's already starting.

But you just have to instigate
just a little bit, man.

She asked a question earlier
when we were talking to her.

She was like,
"Do you guys think there's anyone

who kinda wishes they were
with someone else?"

And I was like, "Girl."

I'm like, just out of the respect
that I have for…

I'm not gonna go and pursue anything.

-You're not gonna pursue anything?
-Uh-uh.

If she comes and pulls me and we talk,

then I'll talk to her, obviously.

But, like, I'm not going
out of my way to do anything.

That's beautiful, Tre.

[Tre] I like the position
I'm in right now. It's very good.

And I feel like I owe some respect
to Justine.

We're finally starting to get closer.

Oh, man.

Um…

So, I just wanted to grab you,

because I know that, like,

we are taking everything at our own pace

and, like, taking everything slow.

But I feel like at this point,
at our pace, like, I don't know

if it's, like, too slow now,

like, waiting for something,
like, real to spark?

You know? But how do you feel?

I don't know, man.

-I mean, I'm going at your pace, so…
-I know. Um…

I'm not saying that
there's nothing there with you.

[Justine]
I'm the type of person who, like,

I fall in love very quickly and very fast,

which is why I also had to have
this conversation with Tre,

because my feelings
don't normally move this slow.

Everyone deserves
to find somebody in here,

and so I just want the best for Tre.

With Lauren coming in here,

I want you to, like, take
full advantage of her being here.

Got you.

I like Justine. I definitely do.

And I felt like we would be
going for the long run.

And then for her to hit me
with this curveball today

felt like a slap in the face.

Why you wanna get all close now?

-Don't try and be mushy.
-Because I just wanna be honest.

I might be getting into the pool.

Are you gonna invite me
into the pool with you?

I don't know if you
want to get your hair wet.

♪ Sold my soul to the devil [/i]♪

[narrator]
New Brit Islander Lauren is exploring[/i]

the various guy-lands,

getting a feel for who she'd like
to emotionally colonize.

♪ I'm gonna burn the place down [/i]♪

But it's America that will choose the guy

she goes on her first official date with.

I feel, like, excited to be in here.
Like, I'm just trying to, like,

get to know everybody kind of…
one on one, on a real level.

Like, "Okay. Who are you into?"
Like, everyone's hot, so…

Some people, they came in here,
and on the second day,

they were like, "This is the person
I wanna be with."

Yeah. How is that possible?

You know, like, I have no problem
with, you know…

-[Lauren] Connor and Mackenzie? Mm-hmm.
-Yeah, Connor and Mackenzie.

But, um…[/i]
even us, like, we're pretty strong,

and we have a lot in common,
but we're both realistic

in the sense that
if someone comes in here…

-Yeah.
-…we're not gonna shut ourselves off

like Mackenzie has kinda done.

Right. Just been like, "No, this is it."

She's made the choice
for both of them, I think.

[Johnny] Yeah. My thing is just, like,

I won't be just taken
by good looks, you know?

-Right.
-Initially, when you walked in,

I'm like, really attracted to what
you got going on and everything,

but then when I think about…

But then you were like,
"Her personality sucks."

No, no, no! I'm saying I need
to get to know your personality.

Know what I'm saying? For you to be, like…

someone that I would be willing
to give up what I have going on.

-Exactly. Definitely.
-You know?

The conversation with Johnny
was smooth and flirty and cute

and not too much and very honest,

so I think he's definitely, like,
open to getting to know me.

[Johnny] I don't wanna just see that
go down the drain

just for something like
an initial sexual attraction

-and physical attraction.
-You saying you're attracted to me?

-[both laugh]
-I'm just playing.

[narrator] Ooh! Johnny's got game.[/i]
Too bad Tre's about to intercept[/i]

by making a pass
in five, four, three, two, one.

My bad to interrupt your conversation.
Can I pull you?

-Of course.
-Are you serious, bro?

[laughs]

Things were going well, but then
Justine threw that curveball at me

of basically telling me
that I should explore my options,

specifically with Lauren,

so it changed my thought process
immediately.

So, what's something
that I wouldn't guess about you?

-Mm, I was born dead.
-Wait, what?

[laughs] Yes, I was born

with the umbilical cord wrapped
around my neck, so I was dead.

So you're really, like,
a blessing in disguise, then.

-Yeah.
-You've got nice eyes.

-Do I?
-You know you do.

-Thank you. No, I don't know I do!
-Yes, you do.

You say I know all these things.
I don't know.

-Well, I guess I'm here to remind you.
-Thank you.

Well, if Lauren does
show an interest in me,

then it'll be kinda hard
to stay with Justine.

At the end of the day,
I just wanna be happy.

I just want to be wanted.
I just want to be happy.

What was your first impression of me?

Game player. It was like,
"Oh, my God. How many girls is this boy

gonna try and kiss?" Like, for God's sake.

-It was only two. Oh, my God.
-It felt like it was 200.

[Lauren] He was a lot different
than I thought that he'd be.

I saw, like, a different side of him

that I didn't think
that I was gonna see, so…

Okay. I feel the vibe.

[narrator] After each getting some[/i]
alone time with the alluring lady[/i]

from the land of the Union Jack,

the guys form a jacked union
and talk feelings, bro.

So, for the people who have talked to her,
what do you all think about her?

I'm sexually attracted to her,
like physically attracted to her,

because it's hard not to look, for real.

It definitely made me feel some
kinda way when I first seen her.

I would be interested
in giving her a shot.

Yeah, you know what? There's things
about her I could see myself liking.

I am physically attracted to her more.

I think we all are.

I think that if any of us,
out of the six of us,

should be pursuing this girl,

it's you, because we're
all attracted to her, sure.

But looking for someone

that could potentially be

a romantic connection, you need that, bro.

[narrator] Johnny is maybe[/i]
almost semi-certain[/i]

his head kinda won't be
totally turned by Lauren.

He seeks to reassure Cely,

starting by admitting
he's physically attracted

to the beguiling British beauty.

I was physically attracted to her.

But that's not enough to leave you,
or to even consider leaving you.

I just… I just don't want that.

You know? Even if she, like,
pulls me on a date or something.

Like, yeah, she's cool or whatever.

She's definitely easy to talk to, but…

she's not you.

-You're so cute.
-I'm just saying, like,

don't worry about any of that.

Cely's a confident girl.
She's not intimidated,

and if she is, she's not showing it.

And I think that's very attractive for me.

I'm gonna take a shower.

And, uh, I'll see you later tonight.

Thanks, Johnny-Boo.

One more. Give me a kiss.

♪ You think you've found the one [/i]♪

♪ I've known you far too long… [/i]♪

[Cely] That would be so good.

♪ And I know [/i]♪

♪ That smile isn't real [/i]♪

I feel like I look like Cleopatra tonight.

The eyes, yes. So hot.

Does anybody here hope that the night ends

-in them getting a kiss with Lauren?
-[laugh]

Something's gonna go down tonight.

Do you think so? Everybody keeps
saying that. It's making me nervous.

Everybody's like, "Something's happening."

-Oh, I feel it. Oh, yeah.
-[Lauren] You do?

[Caleb] If you had to just kiss Lauren,
what kinda kiss you gonna give her?

I'd definitely be like…

-Damn!
-[all laugh]

♪ Your love is all I need [/i]♪

♪ Nothing else I need [/i]♪

Connor!

-[all chattering]
-He, like, ran over there. Yeah!

[Lauren] Thank you all for being
so lovely and welcoming

for my first night in the villa.

I'm happy to be here and happy
to get to know everybody.

-Yeah!
-Hey, salud![/i]

That was good.

[cell phone chimes]

[Lauren squeals] I got a text!

[all cheer]

Okay.

[reading]

Oh!

Drop the mic.

America, what are you doing?

It's America, not me.

-Why would they vote…
-Nothing's gonna happen, though.

Do they hate me? Like, why on earth
would they vote for someone

who's in a happy relationship
to go on a date with somebody?

To have to imagine Connor
on a date with somebody else

is just a terrible feeling.

I just can't even.

-[cell phone chimes]
-I got another text.

[men] Oh!

[Lauren laughs]

[reading]

♪ And I'll take what is mine [/i]♪

♪ We collide [/i]♪

Um, I'm gonna go with…

♪ This is my battle cry [/i]♪

[narrator] Lauren is going on a date[/i]
with Connor.[/i]

And now she must choose
two other guys to date as well.

Um, I'm gonna go with…

…Johnny and Carrington.[/i]

Sorry, guys.

Obviously, Carrington being picked
is not a good feeling.

But it's also not a surprise.

It's okay. They said, "choose," girl.
It's okay.

I'm not worried.
I'm irreplaceable at this moment.

-Have fun!
-But it's not your fault at all.

Do I just go that way?
I'm, like, nervous to even follow her.

Oh, my God. This girl
is going to slit my throat.

I mean, poor boy is locked
in a situation that I pity him for.

For it not even to be my choice,
and there be nothing involved,

and, like, tears already
to be happening is frightening.

-[Mackenzie sobs]
-You have nothing to worry about.

All that matters right now is that

I'm here with you right now.

-I will always be here for you.
-I don't want you to go.

-Okay?
-I don't want you to go.

[Connor] Come here, come here.

-[Mackenzie sobs]
-[Connor] Come here.

Babe, it's just a date.
We're just gonna sit and talk.

[Lauren] Do you want a second?

No, it's okay. You guys have to leave.

-You have nothing to worry about, okay?
-I think I'm gonna throw up.

Oh, my God.

[Connor] Can I have a kiss?
I'll be back soon, okay?

[Mackenzie sobs] I'm gonna be sick.

-Are you ready to go?
-I'm sorry.

Don't worry about it.

So, Mackenzie did not react
very well to this situation.

[Mackenzie sniffling]

But it is kind of
a sense of relief to escape.

I will definitely go into this night
with an absolutely open mind.

-I've never been on a date, so…[/i]
-Haven't you?

No. This is my first date.

This is your first date,
and you got tears?

[narrator] As Connor and Lauren[/i]
head out for their date,[/i]

Mackenzie emerges to explain
why she's feeling

so red, white and blue.

♪ If you never let me down [/i]♪

♪ I'll never let you down ♪[/i]

♪ If you never let me go [/i]♪

♪ I'll never go [/i]♪

[Justine] Mackenzie, are you okay?

-No, I'm not okay.
-Talk to me.

Talk to me.

I honestly would have been less upset
if she had just picked him.

But the fact that we've been
in a relationship since day one,

and America would vote
for him to go with her?

Like, do they hate me that much?

I spent so much time feeling
like I was never enough for anybody.

And I just feel like America
is trying to say

that I'm not good enough for Connor.

♪ If you never let me go, I'll never go [/i]♪

-Don't take it like America hates you.
-How else do I take it?

Wanting to see him
on a date with another girl

when we're falling in love?

Isn't that what you're supposed to do?

-Yeah.
-Isn't that what people want?

Like, we're literally doing that.

-Listen, give me a hug.
-I just can't even process this.

Like, I just don't even
wanna be here anymore.

Stop! Don't talk like that.

I feel like I try to be such
a good person, and I'm so nice.

-You are a good person.
-So then why would America do this to me?

Why did they take my boyfriend?

He's not going anywhere, Mackenzie.

But why would they even want him to?

Why would they vote
for him to do that? Why?

♪ Don't ever let me go [/i]♪

[narrator] Next time on[/i] Love Island…

Who's going to make a move
on new girl Lauren?

[Tre] Lauren's the hottest girl
that's walked through the villa.

I'm looking for somebody fun
and outgoing and honest.

Check, check, check.

When you walked into the villa
this morning,

you were exactly what I was looking for.
