As viewers, were starting to see how our couples handle conflict.
(Spoiler alert: not well.)
Who will be the first to choose breaking up over making up?
At this point, Amy and Johnny still havent fought.
As for everyone else …
When Chelsea and Jimmy discuss their fight, Chelsea says she just needs to be validated when shes upset.
Itisvalid to have feelings!
even though the external reality is different.
It feels like Chelseas kinda saying, If I feel hurt, then you oughta admit you hurt me.
Im just not convinced these two have done enough to prevent a similar argument.
When they talk about their relationship toward the end of the trip (Were getting married.
Right totally getting married), its like they have to convince each other it will last.
Brittany and Kenneth have a levelheaded conversation about whether she can handle raising Black children.
Actions aligning with words, Brittany says and they fist-bump.
We also get to see Laura and Jerameys first exercise in conflict resolution.
After Bean-Dip Gate, he slept on the sofa without talking to her.
Laura is hung up on Jeramey repeating her joke (but still takes no accountability for making it).
Laura is now feeling some doubts about marriage, but hes hopeful they can still make it work.
Clay shows off some … interesting eating habits before toasting to eternity with a beaming AD.
Other takeaways from said group gathering: Chelsea, Laura, and AD are now having sex.
Thats pretty much it for the DR story lines!
Charlotte, North Carolina).
Lets check in on our couples from biggest to smallest conflict, starting with Kenneth and Brittany.
Hes not even looking at Brittany when she talks.
Is he a different person when left to his owndevices?
Has he beenphoninghis feelings in?
Okay, Ill shut up.
The point is theres a disconnect.
The eventual make-or-break problem is that Brittany is missing a crave.
Its scaring her that she doesnt consistently feel desire between them.
(This anecdote does not help his case as much as he thinks.)
I do have faith that the religious man of her dreams is out there somewhere.
On to Laura and Jeramey.
Since day one, Laura has emphasized how important cleanliness is to her.
Laura isnt happy that he double-tapped the message to like it.
She brings this up when her family visits, but they actually are mostly on Jerameys side.
In general, they just seem relieved that he can put up with Lauras … unique personality.
But then, 15 days before the wedding, Jeramey stays out until 5 a.m. without even texting Laura.
after the bar closed.
Laura catches him in a lie, revealing that he was in Sarah Anns neighborhood when she woke up.
I want out, she says.
After she leaves, Jerameys emotional-support pillow stays put.
It definitely seems like our second breakup.
Chelsea confronts Jimmy after he meets her friends for not kissing her that day or acknowledging her emotionally.
He says it wasnt intentional and blames work and an injured lip.
(He later claims that he did actually kiss her twice.)
Chelsea is wondering if Jimmy is picturing life with Jessica because he has seen a picture of her.
Jimmy doesnt know how much more he can give.
Well, we know why episode seven is called Clinging to Love.
Flustered, Jimmy shoots back, Youre the one that wanted to have sex.
I also maybe wanted a little breather from that, too.
When he comes back in the morning and apologizes, they seem to want to move past the argument.
He asks her to just keep initiating sex.
Chelseas definitely in better spirits when she meets Jimmys friends, Barbara and Maddie.
Theyre a fun duo who drag him for using the wordclingy.
He mentions doing couples therapy with AD.
Im glad hes open to it, but I personally think Clays daddy issues also need some individual attention.
(Im more interested in the fact that he put the TikTok logo on his vision board.)
AD dreams of being a landlord, which I am choosing to forget.
Margarita gently encourages both of them to give each other grace.
Even though her own marriage failed, she believes it can be beautiful with the right person.
And with the right person, you make the time period.
That finally brings us to Amy and Johnny, whose relationship has thus far been mind-numbingly pleasant.
Amys still not sure about birth control, and hes not necessarily against getting a vasectomy.
They agree that it could be a deal-breaker if they cant figure out a plan before the wedding.
Its always a nice break to cut to them amid the mess of the other couples.
Histwospices oregano and Italian seasoning look like they have never been touched.
His refrigerator is a cry for help.
Oh, but at least he has [checks notes] apple-cider vinegar and red Solo cups?
I love that Autumns first question when Jessica got back was So are we getting married?
I still dont think Jimmys ready to be a dad, and Jessica clearly doesnt play about her daughter.
(Her Instagram posts with her are very cute.)
