Tonight’s episode begins with Chad who has his second date with Maria. Fava and Maria are really nice, they have everything, but Maria is someone he would bring home to his mother. He is so happy to have another date with her; he wants to show her that a country boy likes to have fun. He tells her they are going to go play in the mud, on four wheelers. They put on their helmets; Maria is excited for her second date with Chad.

It’s important for Chad for them to have fun and he wants to know if she is open to moving to America, if not, it won’t work out. They sit and chat, he tells her that he loves Columbia but the money he makes in America is a whole lot more. She tells him that she can’t think about living in America now because she is in school. He tells her that school did nothing for him, he makes more money not finishing it.

He likes that they are connecting and believes they might have a chance. He tells her that he would like them to go further. The producers ask Maria if she would ever live in America, she says right now no, but she is open to change and get to know him better. He asks her if they can see each other that evening, and she says yes. They are about to leave, and Chad has a flat tire, he has to ride back with Maria.

Michelle is on a date with Pavol, she loves his accent. Michelle is intrigued by Katarina’s approach for the date, they have to wear masks. Once they enter a room, there are rose petals on the table, a whip and handcuffs. Michelle thinks the conversation is going to be around sexuality. Pavol is taking it with a sense of humour and Michelle is thrilled. Dinner arrives and they take off their masks. Pavol tells her he is wondering why there is a third chair. All of a sudden, Kararina arrives and tells them welcome to an evening with the matchmaker.

Stanika is at dinner with Noureddine and he tells her that he has his mom’s approval, so he wants to take the next step, the serious step. He wants to make things official; he tells her to take him how he is, it’s an offer. She tells him that she is ready to move to the next step. He says they are officially together, and she is thrilled. This is her first official relationship. She asks him how they can make this work, how he feels about a long-distance relationship.

He says he wants to go to see her at her home and meet her family as well. Then, he tells her that he would love to kiss her. She says even though they haven’t kissed, she thinks they will have great chemistry. He tells her the next step, when she comes back is to go to bed together. He tells her that he knows how to make a woman happy. She says he has set the bar high, so he needs to keep it up and she is excited to see where things go now that they are official. She is happy and wants him to visit her in America.

Mark meets up with Nina, he tells her that he went to meet up with Houda and she never showed up. It is his last night in Morocco and he is sad, he thought he would have good news for Nina, he has nothing now. He tells her that Houda didn’t want him to date anyone else and he was going to tell her ok, but she didn’t show up. Nina says maybe she didn’t show up because she gave him an ultimatum and he didn’t give her an answer. Nina doesn’t like seeing Mark like this, he is really vulnerable, he is crying. Nina hugs him.

Mark says trusting women is hard for him because they always lie to him. He never told Nina because he was embarrassed. He says he learned that he has to take his walls down. Nina tells him not to give up. Mark thought he found his person in Houda, but now he is back to where he started, alone and it sucks. Mark goes back to his room and packs his things, he learned that the guy that showed up at the airport had expectations that were unrealistic, he wants the American lifestyle and will keep searching for his person back home.

Back to Michelle and Pavol’s dinner. Katarina sits down, she tells them tonight is going to be about opening their minds and hearts to one another. She asks them to put on their masks, then asks the weirdest place they made love. He in a forest and her in the backseat of a car. Michelle loves the playfulness and is more attracted to Pavol. Michelle says sexually she hasn’t found someone who can keep up with her, she has a high sex drive. Pavol is not used to someone being so open. Katarina asks them about their biggest life lessons. P

avol says during COVID he felt very lonely, he doesn’t ever want to feel that way again. Michelle says she understands that. Katarina says her goodbyes. Michelle tells Pavol that it was not what she was expecting but she liked it. They both say it was fun meeting each other, but bad timing because she is leaving tomorrow. He offers her a drop off at the airport so they can spend more time with each other. Pavol felt a spark with Michelle, he looks forward to the future. Outside the restaurant, they hug. Michelle would also like to see him again.

Harold is at Michaela’s hometown; he is sitting with her at a restaurant and asks her if she will be his girlfriend. She says OMG, she can’t be his girlfriend now, it is too quick, they will see. She says she is sorry. Ultimately, he decided not to propose, he wanted to test the waters a bit. He is shocked that she said no, he read her wrong. She says she has to date a man more than week.

She likes spending time with him and is happy that he visited her. He thinks the language difference between the two of them is too much. He says he thought it would be different because they were matched by a matchmaker. She doesn’t want to hurt Harold, but she wants to spend more time with him and get to know him better. He is devastated. He tells her that he was hoping to spend the night with her, but he will have to find a place to stay. She says she would like to spend tomorrow with him, and the nearest hotel is minutes from the restaurant. He is only there 24 hours; he needs to speak more with her and dee if it can be more tangible.

Chad is getting ready to meet Maria for dinner. The four-wheeler date went awesome and at this point, he wants to know how Maria feels about him. Juan told him not to rush it, but he is not going to listen to him. Maria arrives, she is happy to be there, she likes him. He got her something, she opens it and it’s a watch. He wanted to show her that he cares, he is serious and he doesn’t play games.

He asks her she wants to say hi to his mom, he will video her but she doesn’t want to, it is too fast. He asks her if she sees something between them, possibly. She says he seems like a good person, but she doesn’t understand why he wants to know this now. He says he wants to be with her and he wants to know if she feels the same. She tells him that he is a wonderful guy, but thinking about the two of them, they have a very different life. He gets up to leave and says that is all he had to know. He tells her to have a good night, she is shocked and says “you don’t want to be friends?” as he walks out.

THE END!
