Hi!
Hi.
-[both laughing] -How are you?
See, I ever came with my bag, that means I'm really not trying to work out today.
No, I'm kidding. [laughs]
Uh, you finna work out today.

[Raven] Oh yeah. [vocalizes]
[exhales] Oh yeah.

During the experiment, I was loving my life in Dallas,
but ever since I've been, like, traveling back and forth to visit SK,
like, it's really opened my eyes to, like…
I really think I would love to live somewhere else.
Especially since he's not here, like,
there's just nothing holding me back. So, I changed my mind,
which I do all the time. Surprise.
[Raven exhales]
I would not move to any other city in Texas because absolutely not.
I wouldn't move to New York. It's way too cold.
Northeast, none of that. New England, absolutely not.
Chicago or anywhere Midwestern, it's just, like, not our vibe.
Phew!
Nebraska…
No, no, no, no, no.
Idaho, no.
I'd move to Hawaii though.
-[fly buzzing] -Ooh!
Whoo! [laughing]
-[Aliyah sighs] -[Raven] Oh!
How you feeling? I need water.
I know. I haven't had any coffee or anything today.
-What? -I know.
I've been trying to do more tea.
-They say it's better for you. -[blows raspberry, laughs]
-You know, they say. -I know.
Yesterday, I only had one cup of coffee. And it was free. I know.
-Who are you? -The coffee shop misses me.
I see a difference in my bank account when I don't drink coffee every morning.
It's expensive.
It's like seven dollars almost, every day.
Just have SK go get it.
He needs to.
-He need to pick mine up too. -I know, right? He needs to.
Except he wakes up so slow in the morning.
And then, anytime I go to get coffee, he's like,
"Can you get me a croissant?"
-Uh! -[Raven chuckles]
I know. It's always a croissant. I'm like, that is so dry.
Are you feeling like… you know, he's someone that you can see, like,
you have a family with and, like,
you know, really have, like, an invested future with?
-[Raven] Hmm… -Does he wanna have kids?
-Yeah. -Oh, okay.
Girl, he wants to have, like… three or four.
No, I'm just kidding.
[both laughing]
No. I'm, like, we need to just be very intentional about the steps that…
Right. 'Cause, like, what does the next step look like?
First of all, he wakes up, like… at 8:30.
-You could never have a kid right now. -Right, right, right.
So, to me I'm, like, our next step is just getting to graduation.
Okay.
That's what I'm more focused on.
I think we're both just figuring out
what it's gonna look like for graduation and beyond.

[Nancy] The main concern that I have is, like, the bathrooms.
I need to decide on the design
because I do wanna get funky with it.
I want to add some gold. I've never added gold to any of my houses.
-A little fancy. -Cheers for the new project.
-Oh, cheers for the house. -Cheers.
[Nancy] One of many more.
I keep a lot of my personal life to myself.
I could talk to my mom every day, and she won't know that I went on a date,
or that I saw Bartise. So, I'm really nervous to tell them.
This turns into an actual walk-in shower.
-The door's here. -Gotcha.
There you go. You got it, girl.
For my mom, it's hard to see someone you love so much
go through what I went through at the altar.
But this is about me and the journey that I'm going through,
and the fact that I am forgiving and that I do wanna see the good in people.
For me to be happy, I have to allow those that have loved me or that want to love me
in my life. And it's better for me to keep them as a friend
than not have them in my life at all.
So, how have things been going?
Uh, I do have to tell you something.
So… one of my friends, Alexa, is having her birthday party coming up,
and… Bartise is gonna be there.
[tense music playing]
After the wedding, I was, like, let's see if we can actually be real friends
because we had such a strong connection at the beginning.
We continued to work on things. He turned things around. I said yes.
So, Bartise and I have tried to move forward working on our friendship.
We talked. We sat down and had, like, a four-hour conversation about, like,
what happened at the day of our wedding.
-And-- -And he kicked himself on the butt?
-Absolutely not. -[Erendira] Really?
No. As a whole, in this last year--
-Why would you wanna be his friend? -Mom, let me finish.
[in Spanish] Girl, please, calm down. Quiet down already. For real.
Yeah!
[in English] Your delivery, Mom, like, it's… it's too much.
When it comes to my babies… I tear shit up.
I need you to give me time to process because right now,
this person means something to me.
And I got to the point to say yes to this person.
-Do you know, um, that emoji poop? -[Nancy laughs]
[Erendira] That's what he is for me.
A piece of S-H-I-T.
[both laughing]
Yeah.
I would never wanna be his friend. I'm sorry.
Mom, but your heart is different from mine.
-You're a badass bitch. -I understand.
And I can't take that hate away for y'all. Like, I think that--
[Steve] It's not hate.
Maybe for her. I'm sensing a little hate from her, but--
I always will. I can never… Even if he would have turned around and say,
"Oh, we made up and we're gonna get married, and this and that,"
I don't know how would I take that.
So, you're telling me you're working on this friendship, each other.
But how is this benefiting you?
Um…
I feel like the benefit is more of…
[sighs]
It… Okay, after everything happened, after my heart was okay,
and I put myself out there, and I started dating again, it just…
There's something that's not right.
And there's something that's missing. There's something… This person is great.
-But they're not for me. -You haven't moved on. That's why.
I… I don't operate that way. I don't cut people off.
-I don't say-- -You don't. I know. You're too nice.
[Steve] You're trying to work on this so-called friendship with him,
but at the end of the day, you're not finding the right one
at this point because you're still holding on to some memories that
you may never even tell us.
[Erendira] He hurt you big-time.
Yeah.
-He fucked up. -[Nancy] Mm-hm.
I'm sorry.
I have love for this person because I genuinely care about him,
and I don't know how to put that into words. [laughs, cries]
[Erendira] It's okay. You can cry all you want.
-[Nancy sniffles] -[Erendira] Cry it out, baby.
-[Steve] Cry, sister! -Don't touch me!
-It's okay. You can cry. -[Steve] Cry, sister.
A little side hug. Not a full hug.
-Yeah. -[Nancy cries]
You can cry.
-[Nancy] No, because-- -This is gonna help you heal.
-I really feel like sometimes-- -I hate crying. [sobs]
Baby. Me, as a mother, I just want the best for you,
and I want you to be happy.
Will you promise me that you're gonna put yourself first?
[Nancy] I'm working on it.
[Steve] This is how it starts.
He has enough friends.
There's no need for you to be sacrificing your peace, your personal life.
Yeah.
You've tried. You gave it your all. Now let that be someone else's problem.

Oh, for sure. I think I've, like, been relatively cool, calm, collected

But I think what I'm scared of is seeing him
and being yanked back to where I was, like, last year.
You've grown so much since then.
I think you're so strong. I don't think you will be.
And I think you see things clearly now, right?
And his actions have portrayed his character. So…
[Zanab] 100%.
[Ashley] I think you're gonna handle yourself well
in any situation you're put in with him.
And the fact that you even would speak to him says volumes about your character.
So, just remember that. But…
-Thanks. -We're all in your corner.
Because y'all have been kind of dodging each other now for a while, I feel like.
Yeah.
But I am really pumped for tonight. I'm pumped to celebrate Alexa.

Have you decided between the emerald dress and the pink dress?
I had the guy put green under my eyes, so I think I'm committed to the green.
-The green is life. -Yes. The green I sent you.
-So, it's silk, high-neck, leggy. -The green is stunning.
-That dress was made for you. -[Zanab] I just think it has…
I just kind of like the full-circle moment,
'cause at my reveal with Cole, I was in, like, hunter green, dark,
very dark velvet, asymmetrical-like midi.
And this is just kind of like an elevated version of that.
I just think it has some kind of poetry to it.
Yeah. Hey, if that makes… if that makes you feel good.

I was hoping Zay and Nancy would bring somebody 'cause that would be fucking fun.

-I mean-- -Appreciate it.
But what's up?
I'm not someone to get involved in someone else's relationship,
but at the same time, I didn't respect the way things went down.
From what I've known, things were negative.
Okay? Things weren't handled appropriately.
For sure, because your wife is friends with Zay, and you deserve to have--
That doesn't matter.
Well, okay. That aside. Whatever. Yeah. Just what you've heard. So, I guess--
No, what I know.
I don't know what you're referring to, but--
What I'm referring to is you telling Zay that she's either too fat,
or she eats too much, or she's not your type,
or you fucking hitting on other people at different bars.
That's what I'm referring to. If you fix things, then great.
I'mma be the first to walk up and shake your hand.
I haven't fixed everything, I'm sure.
But, I mean, I wake up every day, and I am intending to be a better man.
I don't think anybody wakes up and tries to be a worse person.
-Right? -No.
So you can wake up and intend to be a better person,
but what the fuck have you done to be a better person? Right?
[Cole] Brennon has a bone to pick with me because of Alexa.
I didn't do anything to Brennon. I didn't flirt with any girls.
He's just pissed off at me because I hurt his wife's best friend.
Zay and Alexa are super close,
and she's rightful to be mad at me because I hurt Zanab.
But for him to start saying that I was flirting with other girls and coming at me
with a bunch of bullshit is… is not cool at all.
Because… it's real-world accusations that never happened.
And me and Brennon had no beef until Alexa got in his ear.
[Brennon] If you take care of your stuff, we'll come back around to it. Okay?
-Good? -Thanks for talking to me.
-Solid? -Yeah.
And it's like a big telephone game, where "he said, she said,"
and then it's getting misconstrued completely.

-[laughs] -[Brennon] Ah, we're so gross!
[Zanab] We love it so much!
-We're so gross! -[Zanab] To Brennon and Alexa!
Thank you, guys.
-[upbeat music playing] -[cheering]
[Zanab] Kiss, kiss, kiss!
-[Colleen] Kiss, kiss, kiss! -[Zanab] Eww!
[Brennon] Love you.
[imitates Borat] My wife.
[Colleen] You just love Borat so much.

[Cole vocalizing]
I'm gonna cut the cake.
Hey! Hey, does anybody wanna cut the cake?
No.
[man] Do it, do it.
Oh my God.
[man scoffs]
Can I get a, um… one of those Clase Azul?
-Want another, or no? -[Nancy] I'll take another one.
-You can put it in this one. -[Bartise] Just double her up.
-Can we go where it's cool? -Where, on the couch?
-I heard it was cool over here. -Let's go over there.
[Nancy] I know Bartise has not been a good friend,
but us having that chemistry
of laughing and talking and touching,
it's easy to fall into, "Oh, well, he'll do better."
Like, "He's learning from his mistakes. He wants to do good."
-The blonde is looking good. -Thanks.
Sorry. I think you're touching me. [laughs]
-Huh. I didn't mean to. -[laughs]
-I'll keep my space. -I'm just kidding.
After hearing what the girls had to say, and my family,
I'm empowered to put myself first.
I wanna know what happened at the brunch.
'Cause after the brunch, Colleen and Zay were talking to me, like,
"Listen, like, we have been telling Nancy she needs to cut you off." Like, there's…
"It just doesn't make sense for y'all to be in a…
like, in any relationship right now, whether it's friends or more than that."
"What y'all went through is hard to handle on both parts."
So we're telling her we're on the side of, like, "Don't even talk to him anymore."
The part of me that can't let you go, or that wants to believe in you,
or that wants to give you, after the first time,
the second time, the third mistake, right, like,
wants to give you another chance… They stepped in, and they were like, "No."
My argument to that is, you don't know what Nancy has going on in here,
what's going on in my head,
what we went through, what we're trying to do.
You don't know where we've been, and what we can do.
So, you can listen to what all they say, right, and take it with a grain of salt
because you know… you know me better than they know me,
and I know you better than they know you.
My mom asked me, "How do you benefit from being his friend?"
Why you need to benefit? That's a fucked-up question.
-No, Bartise. -What do you want from me?
-What does your mom--? -I don't want anything from you.
In general, like, friendships should be reciprocated.
And I think me looking back, what were the final scores? Ooh!
Final scores is, I've tried being your friend for a year, and it doesn't work.
It's frustrating. It seems like everybody's getting in her head,
and she's using what they're saying to kind of protect herself
because she doesn't wanna look like the dumb ex that keeps running back to me.
I care about you because we shared a lot of our lives together.
And even though we ended badly at the end of the experiment,
we reconnected after, and we had what could have been a decent relationship
as friends moving forward. It did not work out that way at first.
[sighs] Recognize that you were unkind more than you were kind to me.
Okay. You need to tell me right now. You decide right now.
What do you want us to be going forward? Are we gonna be friends or no?
No.
It doesn't make sense… to keep going forward.
-It's what I need. -Yeah.
And I should have done this the day after our wedding.
I don't know what else to say. [giggles]
That's all you had to say. Let's enjoy the party.
-Okay. -All right, Nance.
Hasta luego.
Yeah.
I don't wanna have friendships that don't help me grow,
that don't support me, that don't love me.
Although we have a past, although we had some good times, like,
I want someone to be obsessed with me and love me for who I am and what I offer.
And in the long run, the benefit of him being in my life is… minute.
[laughs] So, he should go.
It was so empowering to just be like… fuck.
-Like, I really need to be where I'm at. -[Alexa] You do.
I'm excited to start dating again.
I'm excited to really make that a priority in my life.
And I know that that's gonna take a part of me putting myself out there,
being vulnerable again, but sign me up.
-Jackets off. Now it's a party. -[Matt] Yeah. You all right?
-Yeah, I'm fine. -How was that?
-It was tough. Tougher than I thought. -Yeah?
You know, the thing is, like, we don't need to be friends.
-That's what she wants, space. -How do you feel about it?
Two shots. Two shots, brother.
It's just hard to sit there and accept it. 'Cause it's not what I want.
I care about Nancy. I know that I'll always care about Nancy
because of this experiment we went through.
Makes sense to want her in my life, but it's, you know, easier said than done.
[laughing]
You're so sexy.
["Under Your Skin" playing]
-I love you. -I love you.
Give us a tip, married lady. Tell us about marriage in the first year.
-What do we need to do to make that work? -Hello.
-[Colleen] Hi. -Hi.
[Cole] I tried to say hi to you earlier.
[Colleen] You're good. How are you?
-I'm good. How are you? -Good.
-Hi, Zay. -[Zanab] Hi.
I wanted to come break the ice and just say hey.
-[Zanab] Hi. -So, um…
