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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
