While many welcomed them back, the reentry stirred up unresolved tensions. Olandria, seeing Taylor Williams grow closer to Clarke Carraway, questioned their past connection. Meanwhile, Nic was concerned that Cierra Ortega was bonding with Elan Bibas chose to shift his focus toward deepening his bond with Olandria.
Back at Casa Amor, emotions ran high. Amaya Espinal expressed guilt over her role in Olandria’s exit, while Chelley Bissainthe broke down in tears while confiding in Cierra and Huda Mustafa about the fallout.
The episode continued with a spirited game of Casa vs. Villa, where both sides competed in spicy challenges to earn points. Though the score remained close, Casa Amor ultimately delivered more heat. Nic and Olandria got in on the action multiple times, further deepening their connection.
By episode’s end, the pair shared a kiss and opened the door to exploring their relationship more seriously. However, with lingering feelings for Cierra and Taylor still in play, their next steps could spark more drama in the episodes ahead.
