The edit is not edit-ing, yall.
The pacing of a lot of these relationships just feels off this week.
As usual, lets break down what happens pair by pair, starting with two very overdue breakups.
Hannah and NickWho else cheered?
Hannick was never going to work out.
They cant even take engagement photos without having a moment.
I assume Nick will tell her to skip this episode.)
Then theres the Katie situation.
Should I kill her?
Hannah jokes while watching them reunite.
I fear she doesnt want your man, Hannah.
Shes saying he looks ugly or, at the very least, un-photogenic on social media.
Admittedly, Katies love is maybe not blind comment sounds loaded.
Not sure how much of her message a smiley Nick absorbs, though.
So much for her goal of wanting to show him how much of a fun-ass person she is!
Things are still tense when Hannah introduces Nick to her friends, who are deeply unimpressed.
Hannah later tells her mom that she and Nick arent a match on any level.
Heres where things get interesting.
In person, the breakup ends with them saying they love each other and hugging it out.
But Hannah also says that she called Nick first because she didnt want to blindside him with the breakup.
Apparently, he immediately wanted to make a game plan.
He randomly quotes a Drake song to deny that.
Well, Im just glad this relationship is over.
That first breakup in the pods shouldve been permanent.
Alex and TimI think Tim has been done with Alex since Cabo.
Its telling that Tims expression remains solemn.
He later privately tells his parents that he and Alex are out of sync on lighter stuff.
Theyve also got deeper issues, as evidenced by their next argument.
But Tim does not appreciate being interrupted.
He says she shouldnt get to dictate when they talk.
(Im just glad that there was no wedding.
He admits that he might not always communicate certain things.
However, if I have to communicate that, I am not the one for you, he concludes.
Instead, Tim ends up saying that hes glad Alex feels like this is a slap in the face.
He declares that he never wants to see her again and sarcastically adds, This was nice.
How long do we think he waited before asking for his sisters bracelet back?
I mean, people on social media are calling him Tyler the Procreator.
I really hope Ashley isnt blindsided by all these claims.
He laughs and says that wont happen.
There are giant gaps in this couples story line.
Like, how did Ashley even find out about these kids?
Did he fess up on his own, or did someone reach out?
Ashley and Tyler both get very emotional at their fittings.
Afterward, Ashley brings up her fears about childbirth.
Tylers sensitive when she uses the word donate to describe his contribution.
Hes sticking to his story.
At this point, whether its a yes or no at the altar feels unimportant.
I need to see how Tyler explains himself at the reunion before I can feel happy for Ashley.
Marissa and RamsesTheres so much to worry about with this couple.
Ramses is concerned about Marissas shifting timeline for having kids.
Meanwhile, Marissa says shes clearly sick, bringing up a vitamin-D deficiency and PMS.
They do bring up physical intimacy but laugh and say, We figured that out quickly.
It seems like theyre attributing that issue to the fact that Marissa in her own words!
sucks when shes on her period, and Ramses says he currently has no big doubts about getting married.
Okay … so does that mean they came to an off-camera resolution about condoms and children, too?
At the tux fittings, Ramses tells his friend hes falling more in love with Marissa every day.
But four days before the wedding, theyre stressed again on a boat date.
On the other hand, shes also prepared to be unhappy for five to seven YEARS before considering divorce.
Were thrown into yet another conflict two days before the wedding.
Did something specific happen to trigger this conversation?
Or are these just general doubts?
I have no idea, and not in a fun, suspenseful way.
Taylor and GarrettThese two always feel like theyre in a Hallmark movie.
Still, every rom-com needs its obstacles, and Taylor and Garrett deliver with a major fight.
Shortly before the Gatsby party, Taylor learns that an ex has reached out to Garrett.
He initially makes it sound like he just liked the message and forgot to mention it.
But we just know that this is tough for Taylor, whos been cheated on before.
She says theyll get through this, though.
Garrett says hell be miserable if that happens, arguing that this doesnt define him.
Next thing we know, these two are in a car in San Diego.
Taylor explains in a confessional that she and Garrett stayed up all night talking and crying.
Apparently, his reaction to his ex was a lot more friendly than she expected.
Taylor continues singing his praises while trying on wedding dresses.
Anyway, theyre definitely in good spirits during their date at a very trippy gallery.
Garrett says that the happiness of this experience far outweighs the stress.
See yall at the finale!
Extra Engaged
Someone thankfully asked Monicawhat Stephen put in his Venmo note, and whew …
I personally think shes entitled to hold a grudge.
Time is a flat circle?
Hes not giving Gatsby at the party.
He looks more like he should be rowing a boat in Venice.
We havent gotten to that yet … yikes, is that going to happen in the finale?
Or did Netflix just splice soundbites together to make it sound like Ramses said that when he didnt?
Nowthatwould be a wild edit.
