Here, Sandy and J.R. are playing with fire.

Scotty and ZainaLast week closed on the guys and gals cocktail mixers.

J.R. asked Scotty whether or not hed ever said that J.R. was here For the Wrong Reasons, a.k.a.

a hall pass, as alleged by some mystery source.

This is not an elaborate on my perspective question or a find the gray area question.

Have I or not?

Scottys apology is about as sincere as youd expect: Im sorryif you feellike my energy was super off.

The thing about Scotty is that he argues to win not to find common ground or understand.

Scotty himself acknowledges this shortcoming during a game of … beer pong (?!)

… with Zaina at their apartment.

But as theyre packing for the changeover, hestillcant help but pick one more fight.

They end on a transcendent note: Zaina telling Scotty that he doesnt deserve to experience her presence.

Honestly, good for her.

Do you know who else has that tattoo prominently displayed on his hands?

You guessed it: J.R.

How the hell did this happen?

Was it a mortifying Freudian slip?

DidTheUltimatumproducers hack Nicks email to set up the most embarrassing reality TV moment of all time?

Caleb and AriaIts easy to see why Aria likes Caleb.

Sandy, meanwhile, starts crying and claiming that Nicks been tormenting her throughout this process.

Gee, I wonder …

But when Nick finds out from Zaina that Sandy and J.R. shared asecondkiss, things get nasty.

Sandys excuse You never directly asked me if anything else happened goes over about as well as youd expect.

Itll be interesting to see what I do when Im upset with you.

Does J.R. have any interest at all in preserving his current relationship?

Id spring for in-flight Wi-Fi so that I could get a jump on redownloading every dating app ever invented.

Make it make sense!

As far as hes concerned, Calebmusthave the hots for Aria.

His response to her tears?

Im gonna be honest.

Whenever she brings it up, he seems cagey and eventually grows impatient.

But how will they address the conflict if he keeps walking away from it instead?

I still think these two have a decent shot in the long run.

At least they seem to be in a better place when we see them out fishing.

That said, restaurant outings are always a waste on this show because no one ever eats!

Who from this season do we think well see onPerfect Matchnext summer?

Based on what weve seen so far, Im guessing Aria could make her way to the villa.

Is J.R. really the kind of man who considers putting the toilet seat down an accomplishment?

If so, Zaina really does need to move on.
