Couple to Throuple

-We've definitely clicked with Becca.

Last night was a workout.

-Last night was a fucking workout, girl.

-Lauren and I are, like, instantly very comfortable.

But something's definitely off between me and Dylan.

-We have had experiences like this in the past

where he's crossed a boundary.

Scott.

-That's a stop. -That's a stop.

We got a safe word.

-I wish I hadn't been like your first choice,

because I feel like the first choice is the experiment,

and that just feels really dehumanizing.

-Sanu was so serious. It's just too much.

**

-When I kissed Jonathan, there was zero tongue.

Are you okay?

-Tonight, the unmatched singles that's about to join us.

Let the party begin.

-Whoo! -Let's go.

-We've had a lot of great conversations with Mia

ever since day one.

I am completely checked out. Good luck to you, Mia.

-Sean and I wanted to get to know Peach and Darrien.

I would be submissive for you.

Okay.

-I really wish I wasn't in the position that I am now.

Becca?

**

-* Maybe today will be the day I tell you how I feel *

* Maybe today will be the day, baby, we get real *

* Maybe today might be that day that we both finally say *

* Those three words *

-Oh, my God. What a crazy party last night.

I woke up in bed with two women again.

-* Maybe today might be that day that we both finally say *

* Those three words *

**

Maybe today we can talk to her.

Becca never came to the room last night.

-I'm like, is she going to come back? Is she not?

I hope she's okay.

And if she didn't want to sleep with in our same room,

that's totally fine. She's her own person.

-It doesn't upset us. -No.

-What the fuck does she think about us now?

**

-Last night, I didn't want to share a bed

with Lauren and Dylan. At the white party,

Dylan was saying, like, "Oh, my God. I'm so excited

to get to know Mia."

And I'm like, get me the fuck out of this room.

**

-Maybe we should get ready for some breakfast.

Yes.

Yes. I'm starving, so...

-This morning, I just feel anxious.

There's tension in the house between the guys and myself.

-How are you feeling? -Feel good. I don't know.

-Yeah? -How should I feel?

I mean, you guys obviously know better.

We haven't fully been investing in the throuple.

I feel like it's a lot of, like,

Ashmal and myself having conversations, not Rehman.

I just want more reassurance. That's pretty much it.

-It was so fun the first day, you know? And like --

-Yeah. -I just don't know.

I feel like, I don't know if we've gotten like deeper.

We have all of today... -Yeah.

-...to kind of explore our connection, see where it goes.

* I'm waiting for you *

**

-I just need to, like, shower, shave really quick.

* Baby *

Come on. Breakfast.

-I'm gonna sit here. You sit here.

-Yeah, sure. -Okay.

* I'm waiting for you *

* Baby *

-Good morning. How are you guys doing?

-Morning. -Hey. Good morning.

-Get some good sleep? -Yes.

-Rehman, again, no pants. -No pants, yeah.

We have something on. -Speedo!

-Yeah. -Nice.

-I would say, like, waking up this morning,

the vibe is -- It's decent, you know?

Unh, unh, unh, unh, unh.

-Oh, don't get this girl started.

Yeah. -Wait, that was dope.

-But at the same time, the white party,

that shit was kind of weird,

because we're all still getting to know each other,

couples and singles.

So maybe there's something that is lingering in the air

or that needs to be said.

-Yesterday, obviously, I wanted you guys to just

do you. You know, obviously after everything,

I kind of wanted us to just pretty much hang out

with, like, different people and like --

But don't think, like, I wasn't looking like --

I was for sure looking -- looking around the room

and seeing, like, who you guys were talking to,

but I would never make it obvious.

Like, you know what I mean?

-We do want to see some, like, obvious --

Yeah.

Hmm?

-Yeah. -Yeah, I am.

You were staring into space.

**

-Hey, baby! -What it do!

-Welcome. -Hi!

-Don't you look cute? -Look at the shoes.

-You know if it's one thing I'm going to give you, it's a look.

-That's for sure. -How y'all doing?

We're good, we're good.

Whoa! What an experience, huh?

-Yeah. -Right? I really do hope

that you know that I'm a resource,

especially to you couples,

because I've been in poly experiences before,

and I've had a lot of the same questions that you have.

So, what are some of the things you're learning?

I mean, we're obviously moving

what feels like light speed,

but like Corey and I have been really in tune about choosing

who we think is just like the best fit for our lifestyles

and our personalities and our compatibility.

Like, at this point, it almost seems easy.

I mean -- -Oh, gosh.

I'm melting over here.

-This morning, Wilder and I both feel like it

is just completely clear in our minds, you know?

We don't need to change a single thing.

We loved getting to know Darrien last night at the mixer,

but it was, in a way, very reaffirming

that Denyse is a better fit.

Fellas, how about you?

How are you feeling about the experience so far?

-For us, I think we're able to figure out

he and I need to be on the same page

before we do have a third person come in.

And I think also we're realizing that, like, first impressions

doesn't always mean that it's the right thing to do.

I just felt super awkward.

Rehman has this wall up, and I don't know how to bring it down.

But if this would have happened outside the villa,

I wouldn't be even dealing with this shit.

-For me, I've been polyamorous for half a decade.

It's what I live and breathe.

I think of it as like a foundation of a house.

If the foundation is weak, someone comes on,

we all fall down. You see what I'm saying?

If it's strong, it's easy to bring somebody on,

and they feel really solid with you.

Polyamory's supposed to be fun. -Right.

-That's what we struggle with from you.

Let go, girl. Like, you know, like, let loose.

It's like you're a teacher when it comes to Sean and I

instead of, like, actually, like bonding.

Who are you outside of --

of this shell? Like, we don't know who you are.

**

Sanu feels like her needs aren't being met,

and we feel like our needs aren't being met, as well.

Being that she's this coach,

I feel like she has to be super like educational all the time.

But, like, I kind of want that fun, craziness,

like, just being just true to yourself.

We're not getting that.

-It's particularly important for you to dig in a little deeper

to that connection, deeper to that relationship,

because tomorrow, there is a stay or swap ceremony.

You're going to be confronted with a reality

of either staying in the current throuple that you're in,

or making a choice to swap for something

that feels a little different.

This is on you.

Alright, y'all good?

-Yeah. -Yes.

-With the swap ceremony coming up, I think Becca,

Lauren, and I just need an opportunity

to just kind of chat together to make sure that we know

how she's actually feeling.

-Now that Breakfast Scott is over, this is Lunch Scott,

and he's here to fuck a little bit of shit up.

-Oh! -Oh, no.

-Knew it! -Well, because you'll probably

see on the board that today's relationship session

is jealousy.

-Too good to be true, see? -No!

-Shamyra, she's going to be leading the session with you.

Just be as open and honest as possible, so...

-Okay. -Fun.

Exactly! Thank you guys.

Thank you, Scott!

Y'all be good.

* We stand up tall *

-I'm just telling you, Rehman, I can't be around you
