Ace has had an amazing 24 hours.

He's closed off with Chelley.

He's about to see his family.

I mean, he's a bit worried there's not enough Coffee-Mate,

but otherwise it's perfect!

Wait for it. Wait for it. Wait for it.

Wait for it. Wait for it. Too close.

Wait for it. Wait for it.

Not yet. Wait for it. Wait for it.

Just wait. Wait.

Wait. Alright.

So what the fuck happened?

So, what happened was we walk in through the Hideaway,

then, you know, we got ready for the Jacuzzi.

While she was getting ready for the Jacuzzi,

I just drew, like, a big-ass heart in the sand.

And then that's when I had asked her, like,

"Do you want to be exclusive with me?"

And it went well.

I was-- I was just happy waking up this morning.

- You seem happy, bro. - You slept good last night.

Yeah, I did.

But also just pure happiness, honestly. Like...

Excuse me?

- What did you say? - A blissful happiness?

A blissful happiness. I didn't hear you.

I went to bed. And I didn't fold.

- You didn't? - I didn't fold.

- Hands? - Huh?

Hands anywhere?

Obviously, hands go everywhere.

Last night was actually so fun.

Like, he did a big heart

and then put "A plus C" inside of it,

and it was so cute.

And I was like, "Aww. This is so cute."

And then he-- Basically he was just telling me.

He's like, you know, "I've been working on this.

I wrote you a poem."

So he starts reading the poem and stuff and...

- That is too fucking cute. - That's really cute, Chelley.

So he was just, like, recit-- reading the poem to me.

He's like, "So will you be exclusive with me?"

Like, it was such a great poem. - I love that for you guys.

I'm so happy that things happened naturally

because it was just organic and natural.

I was like, "Yes." I felt like he was proposing.

I was like, "Yes! What do you mean?"

I'm like, "About time. Shit." Like...

- Girl, like, damn. - I was waiting!

Thought you'd never ask!

Finally! You're freaking exclusive!

We've been waiting since, like, the fucking beginning!

We gotta lock this shit in!

- Aww. - I love that for you guys.

Anybody nervous about meeting their girl's people?

- Hell yeah. - Hell no.

- Yeah. - For sure.

My mom is so sweet.

She's-- Like, any girl-- I could bring home anybody.

And she'll be like-- She'll be friends with her. Yeah.

I don't know, bro. That's a good question.

Honestly, if I had the choice, I'd probably say no.

Just 'cause my mom and my sisters,

they can be a little harsh and real.

And I don't think

that would be good, like, first-- You know what I mean?

You don't want to put her in that fire, huh?

I don't even wanna-- Yeah, bro.

I'm so scared of them meeting him.

I feel like me and him haven't known each other that long.

Like, I have no idea what they're gonna say at all.

I'm more scared about meeting his family,

if I'm being completely honest with you.

I wonder what my parents are gonna think about Pepe.

They're gonna love him. He's such a gentleman.

I feel like my mom is just gonna grill Bryan,

so he better have barbecue sauce ready.

Introducing your partner to your family is always daunting,

but even more so when there's an outside chance

your aunt might start singing

- I'm gonna cry. - No, you don't have to cry.

I feel like I'm gonna cry.

You probably will. You're a little crybaby.

Aww. It's been a long time.

- You nervous? - No. I'm excited.

I don't care about what anybody thinks,

but I really do value my mom's opinion a lot.

Yeah. For sure.

Hey, Amaya!

Huh?

- Baby girl! - Amaya, is that you?

Bryan! Bryan! Bryan!

Ohh!

Ohh!

Hi! Hi!

Ma, do you see me?!

- Yeah, we see you. - Of course, I see you, baby!

Ma! Ma!

Ma and Nick, this is Bryan!

That's my dad.

And that's my best friend, Brian, right there.

How do we look together?

You guys look good. You guys look good together.

You guys were meant to be with each other.

Damn. This is crazy.

I'm happy for you guys.

Oh, my God! Ma, I miss you so much!

Thinking about you guys every single night, and I--

Welcome back to "Love Island USA."

I'm crying-- not because of Family Day,

but Amaya's stepdad looks so much better than me

in a crocheted vest!

I'm off to the gym after this.

- Nice to meet you. Hi! - This is my dad.

- Chelley. Yes. - What's up, bro? How's it going?

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

How you doing, man? Nice to meet you.

- Am I making you proud? - Hell yeah.

- Yes? - Yeah.

- Standing up for myself. - I know.

It was so nice to meet you guys.

Nice to meet you guys.

- Oh, my God. - Bro!

- Isn't this crazy? - I know!

Damn. That's wicked, bro.

Amaya looks just like her mom, too.

- Yeah. - Like, you can see it.

Okay, this is my lovely mother, Meg,

and my amazing stepfather, Nick.

- Nice meeting you, Bryan. - Nice to meet you. Bryan.

- Nice to meet you, Bryan. - Nice meeting you.

- This is my dad. - Nice to meet you.

Dad, Amaya. This is, like, my brother.

- Hi. Nice to meet you. - Pleasure.

- Do we make a cute couple? - Yeah. Of course.

You look better in person.

Oh, shit. This shit feels crazy.

- Wow. - You get caught by surprise?

Yeah. I didn't expect that.

Bryan, your mom, she watches every night.

She misses you. She loves you. She's so proud of you. Yes.

And-- Yeah. - She wanted to be here, bro.

- Yeah. - Aww, Bryan.

You guys are killing it, though.

- Oh! - Super.

This is like a family reunion right now for everybody.

And we all up here in the Villa!

Wait. So, what's your favorite moment of Bryan and I

from the whole show so far?

My favorite moment, when Bryan is giving you some feedback

about you and Bryan is too bad for you.

And that's exactly what I said. "Okay. That's my boy."

- Oh, yeah! - I was so happy

when you stood up and you said something

about, you know, the Latino culture.

And I was like, "Wow. That's amazing."

- Yeah. - Bro, you actually got

my heart right there.

My favorite moment was the coupling itself.

It was, like, all the distractions left,

and it was finally you guys together.

Oh. In the Hideaway?

- Yeah. - Oh. You guys saw that?!

Ohh!

There were some times that I had to go like this.

Oh, my God! I'm sorry!

I was like, "I'm gonna go get coffee right now."

I'm so happy for, like, Bryan and Amaya. It's so cool.

Oh, my God. I'm gonna cry.

I don't know how Amaya's not crying.

- Hey! Nestlé! - Oh, this is so fancy!

Ooh! Look at all of this!

- No way. - Wow!

- This looks good. - Oh, my God!

Like, you don't understand how much I missed you.

- I know, mija. - How's Daddy?

Your daddy's doing well. He's proud of you.

- Yes? - Yes.

- You mean that? - Yes, I mean it!

How do you guys feel about everything?

Amaya. I mean, I see how she couples with you really well.

I really like it a lot.

You guys are very compatible with each other.

And she has a very nurturing vibe to her.

Oh, hell yeah, and that's, like, super important to me

just 'cause Mom's been like that my whole life

where it's, like, super nurturing and she's like that.

The first thing that your mom would say was, like,

"We love her eyes and also her emotion, how emotional she is."

She's not afraid of showing her emotions.

That was the biggest thing for me, just 'cause it was like--

- And you need that in your life. - Yeah!

- That reality, you know? - Yeah.

What do you think moving forward, bro? Like...

Bro, she's right there in New York,

and then obviously she's hella cool,

and we're just gonna keep taking steps pretty much, bro,

see where it goes. - Yeah. I seen that.

I can see that flourishing outside of this.

Yeah.

What do you guys think of Bryan?

- I think he's awesome for you. - Yeah.

I think you guys fit well with each other.

You know, he accepts you for who you are...

- Who I am. - ...and you don't need to hide anything.

- Anything for him! - Or change yourself for anything.

- Yeah. - I just feel like I could

just be myself around him. - No, which is good.

That's exactly what you need to do. Just be yourself.

I'm so proud of you because, you know, there were moments

where you were sad, and then seeing you crying,

it just got me crying, too,

'cause I just want nobody to, like, you know--

The way they were treating you, I didn't appreciate it.

You stood up for yourself. - I always stood up for myself.

And you were like, "This is who I am.

And if you don't want to be with me,

then it is what it is." - You don't have to be with me.

I'm making you proud? - Yes. Of course.

- You promise? - Of course!

- You pinkie promise? - I pinkie promise.

You're killing it. Don't let anyone ever dim that light.

I'm, like, really, really happy.

I miss you guys so much.

So, there's more-- There's another surprise for you.

I want to show you here. So...

Love you. See you soon. Say hi to Amaya.

Okay? Love you.

**

Yeah.

- Aww! - Aww!

Ah, fuck. It got me. It got me.

**

Did you like Mom's message, then?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Shit.

I am so happy to be here.

- Appreciate you, Dad. - Yeah.

My dawg.

My mom's my best friend, and that video meant everything.

Just seeing her face and hearing her

and, uh, knowing she's proud and everything

just meant the world for me.

Can we take a picture with you?

Oh, great!

- You got it? - Great.

- Bend down... - Like that.

- Oh, man. I got to bend bend. - Yeah.

Bryan's family meeting my family,

I feel like it brought us so much closer.

I mean, it just went so natural.

It felt like we've been together forever in such a good way.

Like, this is crazy.

Ma.

I know.

I know, Ma. I know.

I miss you more.

We plan on everything, seeing you guys again.

- No. Of course. - Thank you for raising

such an amazing son.

- No. Thank you for-- - Tell Mommy I said hello.

Okay? - We saw video that she--

his mom is saying, "Say hi to Amaya."

Yeah. - Ohh! I cannot wait to meet her.

Thank you so much. Love you.

I love you.

I look forward to continue this...

- Yes, outside of... - ...after the show.

- I love you guys! - We love you guys!

I love you, Mom!

Amaya Papaya and Bryan!

Bye, guys! - I'll see you soon, bro.

Love. - Aww!

Wow. That's so fucking crazy.

I'm happy that our family met! - Yeah, I know.

Babe!

That felt great! - How was that?

Dude, so happy for you, bro.

Thank you, bro. I cried like a little girl.

No. You cried like a man like you're supposed to.

That was amazing, man.

My mom, she sent a video of her just sending me a video.

- Aww. - That shocked me.

Bryan and I, we always say that

when it comes down to outsiders' opinions,

we're very strong and grounded. - Yeah.

We don't care about what people have to say, besides our family.

So the fact that our family is supporting us

and loved us for us is--

I mean, our heart is just full. - Yeah.

She started crying 'cause she's like,

"Every time you would cry, I would cry."

But she was like-- She knows that that's

just the way I express myself.

And when she started crying,

I'm like, "Ma, you see where I get it from?!"

- No. For real. - "You see where I get it from?

- "It's you!" - It's you!"

- Hi. How are you? - How are you?

- I'm Ruby, Iris' sister. - Nice to meet you.

- Hi. - This is Iris' sister.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you, too.

- Are you excited? - I'm so excited. I'm a little nervous.

Up next is Iris and Pepe's family.

And we have Iris' mom, Aileen, and sister, Ruby,

and Pepe's mom, Erika, and dad, Jose.

And I don't know what their jobs are,

but I'm guessing they're all J.Crew models.

Wow! Oh, my God.

I did feel, like, in shock, and I thought I was gonna cry,

but I was just so excited to just hug them and talk to them,

just spend time with them, as much time as I can.

This is our dressing room.

- Oh, marvelous. - This is where I get ready.

This is so cute.

Iris is cool.

- She's a badass girl. - Yeah. She's a badass girl.

But you guys seem to have a very good connection together,

so that's great. - Yeah. No. She's awesome.

You actually make a good couple.

- Thank you. - Not because of you.

It's because of her. - Yeah, I figured you'd say that.

You know, I saw it from the very beginning.

I saw the two of you. For some reason,

I'm like, "I like her. I like her."

I like the two of you together.

She's beautiful, and she's got her shit together.

Yeah. I was like... - A lot in common.

Well, that's-- You know, it's pretty cool.

How do you feel about Pepe? Yeah.

I think he's very mature.

- Mm-hmm. - And he's very sensible.

And he's-- He's like a man, you know?

He's, like, someone who's gonna, like, take care of you.

Yeah. He was, like, my friend coming in here.

And then we've grown, like, a relationship.

- Right. - You know?

Here's the thing.

I was sad when everything happened with TJ, but I'm--

I'm glad to see that you are happy with Pepe.

Yeah. I'm happy.

And I'm excited to see where it goes, too.

- Yeah. - Yeah? You like Pepe? You?

You know, I'm picky, but you know me.

I just want you to be happy.

I want you to be with somebody who...

...just makes you feel good, you know,

and makes you feel loved and knows your value.

Because it's just, like, I'm so proud of you and...

Aww. Thank you.

You have held yourself so high,

and you're such a lady, and everyone loves you.

Everyone's so proud. Dad is so proud.

Mom, you're gonna make me cry, too.

She's actually-- I feel like she's become,

like, more of a woman.

She's just so graceful and mature.

And I couldn't be any more happier.

Do you guys talk about, like, when you guys get out of here?

Do you guys have any plans?

Her dad lives, um, next to Grandpa, very close.

- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, very close to Grandpa.

So we'll go back. We'll hang out.

We'll keep getting to know each other,

but, like, in the real world now.

I'm proud. I'm proud.

You've stayed very real to yourself.

And I love that.

So I'm very, very proud of you, son.

Proud mama.

Hearing that is great, hearing that they have

the same opinions on the girl that I'm interested in.

It's one of those things that you can't beat

that feeling of your parents being proud of you.

- Mom, sit. - Mom, sit?

And then you and I go this way.

I don't think this is gonna work for me.

Today has been really special.

I feel really happy.

I really needed a hug from my mom and my sister.

Such a pleasure to meet you.

You too. Take care of my girl.

- I will. - Have a safe flight back.

You guys make such a sweet, cute couple.

- Aww. Thank you! - Look at them.

- Bye! - Bye!

Every day just keeps getting better and better in here.

It was the best day I've had in here so far.

That was great. - Wow. Wow.

- That was crazy. - Yeah.

How about your mom? What did your sister think?

They were just, like, really proud of me.

All just really good things, you know?

My mom said-- I don't know.

She was like, "When I saw you two together talking..."

the first time when we walked in, she was like,

"I don't know. I can see something there."

- Really? Uh-huh. - Yeah.

So I was like, "Hmm. Curious. Interesting."

Your parents are so-- Your mom is so beautiful.

- Yeah, I get that a lot. - Yeah. Yeah.

My dad was like, "What do you think, like, after this?"

And I was like, "After this, it's continue with it,

you know, and see where it goes."

- Mm-hmm. Yeah. - It was nice.

Knowing that Pepe's family likes me

and my sister and my mom like Pepe,

I feel like that's a really nice feeling.

So I do feel like it's brought us closer together.

I'm happy they think you're cool.

- Yeah. - 'Cause you're kinda cool, I guess.

That was fun.

Yeah.

Chris, you mad quiet. What are you thinking about?

You just tired? - I'm just stressin'.

- Stressin' why? - He's waiting on his turn.

- I don't know why. - Chris is stressed out.

- I'm just hella-- - I ain't gonna lie.

I was anxious, too, before my parents.

I'm just emotional as fuck, and when I get like this,

I just get quiet and just...

- Yeah, I know. - Oh.

What do you feel like you're stressed about, though?

Just seeing my people.

It's mostly just about, like, what they're gonna say and shit like that.

Yeah, you just want to make sure that you're making them proud.

- Right. Of course. So... - Yeah.

And they've known you for 27 years

or whatever it is, right?

No, you guys are brave. It's a lot.

It's like the whole world is looking at you.

- Yeah. - I'm at work...

- Yeah. - Every day.

...I'm taking care of my patients.

I have my co-workers like this.

"Marie, you're missing it." I'm like, "But this patient..."

- Right. - But they're like...

- She coded. - Right? She's coding.

Right.

I'm not gonna toot my horn, but Team Chell-Ace, for sure.

- We like Team Chell-Ace. - Okay, well, let's hit it.

Let's hit it. Let's hit it.

I think when you guys did have, like,

somewhat of a challenge or a disagreement, for me,

that's when I was like, "Oh, yeah, they're dope."

And I think it's because you guys kept it very respectful.

I never heard you raise your voice.

How do you stay so calm? - Dealing with sisters.

- Yeah. - She raised you right.

Right.

And I love the way you look at her.

I was like, "Ooh, he likes her. Ooh!"

Ace has never introduced a girl into his family before.

- Ooh. - Massive deal.

Yeah. Massive deal.

You know, last night, me and Chelley,

you know, we went to, you know, an exclusive area.

- The Hideaway. - Okay.

And, you know, I asked her

if she wanted to be exclusive with me.

Yay!

I was like, "About time. Damn!

Like, you know, I've been waiting."

I seen everybody getting their moments and stuff.

Like, I love it. I'm happy. But, no, it was--

I was like, "Wow."

- His time, when he was ready. - Of course.

The way he looks at her, the way she looks at him,

it's like they can't stop smiling.

Ace brought out a side of her I've never seen before.

She's happy.

What have you guys been witnessing?

Like, where have I done wrong at?

Y'all let me know.

I've been witnessing you be authentically yourself.

I've been witnessing you be the strongest version of yourself

that I've ever seen. - Mm.

- And I'm so proud of you. - It gets tough sometimes

because you get the question of who's the most genuine.

And then America puts you in last place.

It messes with you a little bit.

It gets hard, you know? - Yeah.

And I feel like, with Chelley,

she's been, like, the only person to keep me calm.

I do think that she matches your fly.

Like, you know, I--

I love the respect that you guys have for one another.

I like how you guys talk to each other.

- Yeah. - I think that's dope.

And, um-- And, I mean, I can't wait to see

what comes after this for you guys.

Um, I find it to be fate, you know?

I really-- I really see a future with us.

- Okay. Cool. - You know?

- She can come around the fam? - She can come around the fam.

Can she-- Can she go to the cookout?

Nah, she can for sure make the cookout, man.

From what you guys seen, what do you guys think of Ace?

- I like him. - Yeah?

He reminds me of your dad.

- Really? - Are you ready for that?

And if he thinks that he's gonna say it, you want that?

No, yeah, he really is, like,

staying on how he feels and really,

like, just moves at his own beat and stuff, so...

- And I like that. - Yeah.

I mean, I really like him.

Okay, so before I forget, let me yell out...

Ace got a 10!

Yo.

Booper duper tuper nuper.

I miss you terribly, son.

I watch you in every episode.

I pray that you are enjoying yourself as you embark

upon a new journey.

You are equipped with the necessary tools

and have been raised to find your queen.

Thank you, son, for standing strong, tall, and on business.

**

And thank you for shining through and weathering through,

no matter what storm you encounter.

Yeah.

- That is... - Yeah, yeah.

- Standing on business. - Always.

**

Michelle, you got letters from your sibs.

This one's from the youngest one.

The youngest boy. She started that one already.

I'll read it out loud. "To my dear oldest sister,

I've been thinking about you a lot lately,

and I just wanted to let you know and say

how much I miss you.

You've always been such a big part of my life,

and, honestly, not seeing you has made me realize just

how much I appreciate you.

Watching you on TV has been the craziest thing.

I keep thinking, 'That's really my sister up there.'

You look so beautiful and so happy,

and it makes me smile every time I see you.

I also cannot believe you got

the whole world calling you Chelley now.

That's wild."

"You'll always be Michelle to me."

You know, I love them so much. I needed these words.

- They miss you. - I miss them.

Like, oh, my gosh, I miss them like crazy.

Oh, my gosh, granted, I would have loved for them to be here.

I miss them so much, but getting to spend time

with my family feels so good.

Like, it makes me feel good about choosing Ace

because they see everything and they still are rooting for us.

I'm-- I'm happy.

This is the photo booth right here.

- Excuse me. All right. - Silly faces.

Do a heart, do a heart, do a heart, do a heart.

Hi, gorgeous.

- Maya Papaya. - Long live the trio.

- I'll take care of him. - Okay, good.

- Very nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

You, as well.

We're all like sisters over here.

- Listen, she's in good hands. - She is.

- She is in good hands. - All right.

- Nice to meet you guys. - Bye!

- Thanks for having us. - Bye!

- I'll talk to you guys. - Y'all killing it out here.

Thank you!

Aww. Love you guys.

- Ace. - See you on the outside.

It was a pleasure meeting you.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

- Team Chell-Ace. - Chell-Ace.

- Yes. - Take care of our brother.

Of course! Of course. He's in good hands, I promise.

- It's been real! - See y'all later!

Of course.

**

Oh, my gosh! They didn't see everything.

- Right, right, right, right. - Don't start with me.

Ch-Ace! Ch-Ace! Ch-Ace! Ch-Ace! Ch-Ace! Ch-Ace!

- Oh, my gosh. - Man.

How was that?

- I miss them so much. - Right?

**

- Hi! - Hi!

I'm Chris's sister.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

- I'm Huda's sister. I'm Nada. - And I'm Chris's mom.

I can't wait to see my baby boy.

I know. I can't wait to see my sister.

- Let's go in. - Yeah. Let's go.

So, on the way into the Villa, we have Huda's older sisters,

Yasmeen and Nada

and Chris's mom, Trea, and sister, Kiara,

and they're absolutely buzzing.

Although that might just be the unlimited free coffee.

♪ I wanna go ♪

♪ 'Cause if we wait for the timing to be right ♪

♪ We'll wait our whole lives ♪

♪ It's one day ♪

♪ A day you're born ♪

Oh, my God!

♪ A miracle that's wrapped up on faith ♪

♪ I wanna go ♪

Hi, brother!

Come here.

**

Oh, my God! I miss you guys so much!

Oh, I can't stop crying.

Oh, my gosh.

- What's your name? - Kiara.

Kiara. He told me so much about you!

- Hi, baby. - Hi, beautiful. How are you?

- These are my sisters. - Nice to meet you.

- Hi. I'm Nada. - Hi. How you doing?

- I'm sorry. - Nice to meet you.

Oh, my goodness.

Oh, holy shit.

That was-- that was a rush.

Seeing how happy they were to see me,

you go through all the stressful emotions in here

and all the ups and the downs, but, like, having that moment,

there's nothing like it, for sure.

It was really special.

So I'm gonna cherish that forever.

We're very excited about the two of you.

It's been amazing to watch you guys.

- Really? - Yeah.

Like. the evolution of just, like, even seeing her change...

- Yeah. - ...has been the best thing.

I needed to evolve in here,

and then I got Chris at the right time.

- I know that's right. - Aww.

Oh, you guys have your own...

- You guys look so good together. - Really?

Oh, my God.

And especially that one, um,

challenge when y'all had the costumes

and you was Chef Leelee, and I was like, "Go with it, girl."

I was like, "She got the moves." Okay!

There are some things a mom does not need to see her son do.

I'm happy for Chris and Huda,

for them to be bonding right now and their family.

But how do you guys think they're going to,

like, mesh together?

Because I know Chris earlier was saying

how he was a bit nervous about his sister coming.

- I think they're gonna do fine. - Yeah.

- I think it'll help them out. - Yeah.

Yeah, for sure, for sure.

The way he just folded and melted in his mom's arms...

- Oh, my God, I know. - That warmed my heart.

- So? - Wow.

- Anything y'all wanna tell me? - How are you feeling?

- No. - Nothing at all?

- No. - Really?

- No. - No criticism? No nothing?

- No. - That's surprising.

I love exactly what you're doing.

You're doing what you're supposed to be doing.

- Yeah, your natural self. - It's crazy seeing it,

'cause I'm like, "Yeah, Mom did a great job."

- Thank you, guys. - Like, you're just...

I couldn't be more proud. - Really?

- Yeah, for real. - I am so proud of you.

- Don't make me cry again. - I just...

I mean, we stop everything just so we can make sure

we're in front of that TV. - Really?

What was the last thing y'all saw?

That you folded.

Damn!

Damn!

I wasn't gonna say anything.

I tried. I tried.

Chris is great. He's great. He's a really good guy.

And you can really-- like, seriously, you can really tell.

You need somebody that's gonna ground you.

And he's always just like, "Listen. Are you okay?"

I'm like, "Damn it. I can't yell."

I'm like, "I need to shut up now."

Good for you for being in that position

where you kind of processed that and you're like, "That's--"

That's a big growth opportunity you had

because you were not like that before.

You shutting up is the best thing.

I'm just joking.

I'm just joking. You're gonna come for my throat.

I'm so glad you know when to shut up.

- And you know what? - That's some growth.

That's some growth.

This is what you're doing, and this is what I want you to do.

But-- Okay. Wait. Okay, wait.

Okay. The whole thing with Jeremiah, I want to know.

You went head over heels for him too quick,

and, like, you didn't think about that piece of, like,

"I need to get to know this person

and really like the person for who they are."

I think that that brought out a lot--

like, the toxic side of me.

I know that was a flaw of mine.

That's why, this time, I'm doing it--

like, I'm getting to know him.

- Yeah. - So everything is great.

- Yeah. - How are you feeling, though?

Like... - Um...

This experience has been something...

'cause there have been some hiccups

that we've been dealing with in here.

I'm trying to be as, like, accepting and, like,

understanding and, like--

- We see it. - Yeah.

So just keep being your genuine self.

What do you guys think about La Huda?

- I love her. - Beautiful.

We connect, you know, because, being women ourselves,

and different situations we've been in,

we can connect with what the situations

that she's gone through. - Yeah.

And we understand it because we all have.

And definitely being a single mom.

You can see the growth. It's really there.

'Cause you're doing a great job.

You're bringing out the best in her.

And she's bringing out a good side in you, too.

Yeah.

You know, them kind of affirming that what me and Huda

have is real is just-- makes me even want to go,

like, just even harder for this connection.

Just getting that reassurance from them,

it just-- like I said, it just means the world to me.

You have no idea.

Okay. Wait. What was your favorite moment in here of me?

Uh, I will tell you mine.

"I'm a mommy. Mommy. Mamacita."

The best, the best.

You're like-- You're like...

I'm telling you, that in itself has popped off.

- It really-- - Really?

- Yes. - Well, at first, I was like,

"Huda, why are you fucking saying it like that?

Just say you're a mom."

I have no regrets about coming here.

Do I miss Arleigh every day? Fuck, yeah.

I miss her every single day. - She's waiting for you.

I know. I'm so happy. I'm so excited to see her.

- Well, we do have a video. - Oh, my God, I'm gonna cry.

Stop. I'm gonna cry, I'm gonna cry.

Oh!

Aww!

She's so sweet.

She finished her first year of school.

- I miss her so much. - You'll see her soon.

I know.

I miss her so much.

And I think that was the best reassurance

I could have ever gotten.

And I just can't wait to be there on her birthday

and surprise her.

**

I literally cry every day.

How are your lashes still on?

**

Welcome back to "Love Island USA."

And after only just meeting,

Huda and Chris's families are already incredibly close.

Well, to be fair, the photo booth is tiny.

Maybe like a peace sign?

My legs are fucking burning.

They're a great match.

I think that he brings out a soft side in her.

They complement each other really well.

So we approve! - We approve!

- I'll see you soon. - Just keep doing

what you're doing. - I got you, Mama.

- I'm proud of you. - Thank you, Mama.

- Okay, I love you. - I love you.

- Bye. - Oh, this is crazy.

- Bye. - I love you guys.

Bye! I love you!

I love you. Take care.

Bye!

I'm truly grateful to be here

and get to have this beautiful woman to my--

to my side here and explore this connection.

So, yeah. Thank you, "Love Island."

What the hell?

Your mom is so nice.

I know. Yeah. She's-- She's the best.

I'm sorry you had to see me cry like that.

No. Don't say sorry. I love an emotional man.

- I love your sisters. - Yeah?

- Yeah. - They're cool.

Do you see where my personality comes from?

Yes, absolutely.

- Especially-- - We all act that way.

Not Neda, but what's the other one?

- Yasmeen. - Yeah, her. Especially her.

I can tell y'all really locked in, for real.

Yeah. Your sister's so cool, though.

She really is. Like, fuck, man.

I'm about to cry again.

Don't cry.

Those is really my people.

Don't cry. It's okay.

I'm glad you got to see them, though.

- Me too. - You know?

Yeah. Of course.

They had nothing but good things to say.

- Yeah. - They see the change that you've made.

And I think, like, that's huge.

Aww!

Despite the ups and downs

that me and Huda have been going through,

just the reassurance from my people

makes me feel really good about this.

And they really, like, relate to, like, you.

I think especially, like, with being, like,

a single mom and stuff like that.

- I got a video of her too. - You did?

- Mm-hmm. - Did you cry?

- I did. I did cry. - What did she say?

It was, like, little clips of her, like, talking.

And she was just like,

"I just finished my first year of school"

- Aww! - And she was like, "I love you."

And I, like, kissed the screen, and then she gave back a--

- Oh. - But she's in good hands.

She's good. I love her so much. - Yeah.

I miss that girl to death.

The anticipation is killing me.

Is it my best friends? Is it my mom?

Is it my sisters? My dad?

- Hey. - Hello.

- Nice to meet you. - It's so nice to meet you.

You've been watching the show? - Yes!

I'm excited about seeing them.

I'm excited about Nicolandria Nation.

- Me too, girl. - Let's go!

♪ We could be dreaming ♪

So, representing the Nicolandria Nation

are Olandria's mom, Felicia,

and Nic's sister, Ella, and mom, Jennifer.

Or, as they're collectively called, "Felicialifer."

♪ We could be dreaming ♪

What do you think they're gonna say about Nic?

I don't know. I really don't.

- I don't know either. - I think they'll like Nic.

My mom's, like, so warm and welcoming.

Like, she loves everyone.

No.

Nic Pants!

Mommy!

Oh, my God.

My twin, I love you.

Hey! Hey, baby.

I miss you so much, Mom.

No. I said I wasn't gonna cry.

Oh, Nicky.

Thank you for coming.

- I miss you so much. - I miss you, too.

Oh, my God.

I've...

I've had so many days where, like, it's been low times.

And I think about my parents

and my mom and my sister and my dad.

I just have a family who I'm so grateful for

and, like, who loves me no matter what and lets me be me.

And it's such an amazing feeling.

And I saved the best for last.

Oh, my God!

How beautiful!

I have been rooting for you. - Thank you.

Really? - Oh, my God. You have no idea.

I love you so much.

- That's your mom, right? - Yeah.

She know everybody. - How are you?

Hey, Nic. How are you?

You're even handsome in person.

- Thank you. - So, question--

You said Nilandria?

Oh, is that our name together, Nic?

- Okay. - We've got one, though.

- What? - Nicolandria.

Okay! Nicolandria!

I like that.

We were getting so irritated with y'all.

Like y'all not see this? - Really?

We was getting so irritated with y'all.

Have we been oblivious? Let me know.

- No, I don't know nothing. - Okay.

The personality was definitely a match

between Olandria and her mom. - Oh, my God. That's my twin.

- They're definitely related. - Mm-hmm.

- So... - Mom.

- It's been so long. - I know.

I got so much to ask you.

I've been so lost and so disconnected

from the world, bro. - Ah, girl.

I know Nic was so excited for his mother to be here.

He talks about his family so much.

- He does. - She talks about her mom

all the time.

And she was so nervous about who was coming in.

- My dad proud of me? - He's very proud of you.

Your daddy's very proud of you. - Really?

You handled yourself very well,

so don't feel like anything you did,

somebody's going to judge you by it.

You handled yourself very well. - I try to.

And you've made me very proud.

I'm serious. - Thank you, Mommy.

What about my outfits? My bathing suits.

Baby, you been poppin'.

Yeah.

You know I'm my mama's daughter.

I'm lookin' good, girl. - Yes, honey.

I'm like, you been looking great.

- For real? - Yes.

You've been serving nothing but body.

- Body tea? Face tea? - Yes. Everything.

- Everything tea? - Yeah.

'Cause, girl, I been trying to give it.

- Yeah, you gave it, baby. - Okay, good.

Just to have my-- my wing woman,

my superwoman here to tell me like,

"Hey, I am so proud of you."

Oh, just hearing that just made me just want to just,

I don't know, hug her so long.

So how do you like it here?

It's good. It's good fun.

We've seen you in the sheets.

We've caught the night cameras.

- Oh, sorry about that. - Nicolas.

- I know. - In public like that?

But it wasn't in public. Technically.

I don't know, but we move on from that.

- I saw eyes open. - Anyway. Anywho!

We move on from that, but, um...

So I really felt the bromance first

before any romantic connections with anybody.

- With that guy? - Yeah.

- That guy with the-- - Yeah, yeah.

What's his name again?

Wait a minute. Oh, yeah, Ace.

It's on his back. - Ace.

They're good guys. You can tell.

You can tell you guys have a really good--

- So much fun. - Daddy really likes Ace.

- Really? - Yeah.

- Of course. - He's like-- Yeah, he's like,

"Ace, I respect Ace. Ace stands on business.

He's straight." Yeah. - Yeah.

Like, I really wasn't sure what Dad was going to think.

And to hear you guys say that like he's been so--

He is your number one hype man. No, he's number one.

He's like, "We raised the funniest man in the world."

Come on. That comes from his side.

- What do you mean? - No, you're kind of funny.

I've missed him so much.

And just seeing him on TV hasn't been enough.

So I was just, like, so incredibly excited to see him.

And he looks good, and he seems happy.

Everybody wanted y'all--

- Who? - You and Nic together

like they've been saying... - Really?

...Nic and you, Nic and you for a long time.

I didn't even know Nic liked me until, like, a week or two ago.

We seen it from day one. Everybody else seen it.

He showed it, and you just didn't catch it.

- Really? - So when y'all finally did it,

it was like, okay, everybody was so happy

because y'all finally did it. - We're doing it now.

I'm glad everybody's supporting me...

- Yes. - ...at home.

First I was like, um, no.

I said, "Nic, you been doing too much."

I was like-- - Oh, Nic, Freaky Nicky.

But then I was like, you know what?

He did exactly what he was supposed to do.

He went out there and he explored.

So do you see yourself really giving Nic the opportunity?

I genuinely do like Nic. I really, really do.

I just like how he is.

He's so goofy. - I like his little personality.

Girl, he went on some crazy--

I'm like, "Bro, my mama gonna kill me, like..."

This man, he is so crazy, like, during the milk challenge,

he was doing all that crazy stuff.

Oh, girl, I about threw up. I just--

I'm like, "Nic."

They call him Freaky-- - I got some soap for you

when you get home, girl.

I told you I cuss real good.

I know, yeah, I know.

You ain't getting no hand-clap on that.

- I got it from you. - You got it from me,

but God dang. - I told you I cuss real good.

I see. A little too much.

Uh-huh. I like cussing.

- I see. - Mm-hmm.

- She's a beautiful girl. - Extremely.

And-- And, like-- - And she holds herself well.

- Hell yeah. - She's like a strong--

strong lady, I like that. - So strong.

She's a girl that makes me laugh

and, like, we really are just there for each other

through all the bullshit that we've been through.

I feel like you kind of light up around her.

Like, in your eyes, like--

Just, like, your whole body just kind of, like, illuminates.

- It's good to have that. - Yeah.

So you support it as well?

- Of course. - That's good to hear.

We've kind of been day-one supporters.

- Really? - Just somebody you would bring home.

I would feel like the natural connection

would be with Olandria.

Like, I could just see her at our table.

I could see her just... - I could see that.

- ...talking shop. - Yeah.

Talking shop.

I felt like this whole time,

the only thing I was missing was my parent's approval,

which I really, like,

I look for and respect, so today I felt like I got that

and now we can finish this together.

All right. Three, two, one.

♪ Wanna be in this moment ♪

- Bye, guys. - Bye, guys.

Bye, guys. Safe travels. See you later.

30 hour flight for 10 minutes.

- There you go. - It was worth it.

- It was worth it! - It was worth it.

It was worth it.

Y'all's support means everything to me.

Let us know what to make for dinner.

- Mommy. - Oh.

I'm glad you guys are proud of me.

I was so nervous.

I love you guys, too.

- Bye, buddy. - Bye!

- Bye. - Bye, Mommy.

- Bye, y'all. - Love you.

- Nice to meet you. - Be good.

All righty. We'll do.

That feels so good, bro.

Our parents really, really support this.

Now that I get to know about our family and the people

that she comes from, it's going to bring you closer

because you're sharing your family with them.

And to me, family is everything.

All the things they were saying was so positive.

And they have my dad watching it,

like, he's just invest so much time and, like, energy into it.

- Mm-hmm. - That was just really amazing.

And seeing my sister was crazy. I thought--

- She's beautiful. - Thank you.

- She's so gorgeous. - How was seeing your mom?

Oh, it felt so great. So good.

That's my girl. My mom really likes you, bro.

- Really? - Yes.

- That's so sweet. - She was like,

"Why haven't y'all been seeing the signs?"

I'm like, "I think she was just being oblivious to them.

I don't know."

My mom wants you to come to the house so bad.

- I am. She already asked me... - You got to.

...what I want for dinner,

I'm gonna tell her what I want for dinner.

- She can cook, I swear. - Really?

A lot better than me.

Well, I'm gonna be in Florida. On some shit.

Yep. I'm gonna be in Florida. - Come through.

Me and Ella is about to be besties.

♪ Windows down, leave it all behind ♪

We have, like, this happy ending.

And we're like, now we can ride off into the sunset,

back home to the States, and now we're just happy

that it's ending on the highest note.

We got some things to plan, Nic.

We got too much support from our loved ones.

- I'm excited. - You know?

Thank you for, like, being here in this journey with me.

- Oh, for real. - Thank you so much.

- I could not do this without you. - I'm serious.

- Literally. - Like...

You've been like a rock here for me, so.

No, same.

So the families have had a lovely time,

but unfortunately, they did struggle

to make a real connection.

So they have been immediately dumped from the Villa.

Rules are rules.

Today was truly, like, a breath of fresh air.

- Yes. - I felt like I was maybe holding my breath

because I really value what my family thinks about...

- Yeah, for sure. - ...everything.

So cool to, like, see where you got, like,

who birthed you and, like, you know,

your brother and your family.

And I'm, like, just feeling absolutely blessed.

- 100%. - What tripped me out

was everybody's parents knowing everybody's name.

- Yeah! - Yeah!

Ace, my dad loves you, bro.

- Swear. - Loves you, yeah.

- Oh, fuck yeah! - He fucks with you.

That's all I care about, bro.

My sister loves you.

She said her favorite moment was

remember when I told you that I was a mom?

- Yeah. - You were like, "Mamacita?"

Everyone keeps saying that, but I don't--

Oh, shit.

I got a text!

It's kind of ironic because we saw, you know,

our blood family today,

and now we get to eat with the family

that we've made inside the Villa.

So, you know, I have two families now.

Welcome back to "Love Island USA."

Tonight, the islanders will be cooking together,

because nothing rounds off a perfect day more

♪ No other plans, only to make sweet memories ♪

It was so nice seeing, like, all of your guys' families.

Yeah. Same.

My mom was like, "I just love how Ace looks at you."

- Aww! - Oh, my gosh. That's so cute.

And he was just looking, like, lost in my face.

I was like, "Oh, my gosh."

Chelley!

Thanksgiving in the summer?!

Ahh!

Oh, my God.

Mwah!

- I like this dress, Amaya. - Thank you.

Looking like a big old bowl of lettuce.

Cooking dinner with everyone, I find it so therapeutic.

And it feels like I'm back in New York,

cooking with my family.

I'm on sauce-turning duty. Don't mess with the sauce.

Ace got the sauce, so Ace gonna turn the bowl.

- Hey, you're doing good. - Alright. Thank you.

Bam! - Boom! Okay!

Is the fork on the left or the right side?

The left side, brother.

Is it supposed to be on the left side? Okay.

Obviously, they had your boy cheffing it up in the kitchen.

It was cool cooking in the night for everybody,

you know, making the sauce.

Wow. Pasta.

Should we pretend like we're just still doing something?

- We're doing something? - Yeah.

I really don't feel like cooking, bro.

I hate cooking.

I can't cook for shit.

I'm a guy that lives alone,

and the best I can make is white rice, ground beef, and eggs,

and even that's shaky.

Everybody has their role, and cooking is not mine.

Oh, my gosh. Wait.

Chris! - What?

Oh, my God. - Guys, this is burnt as fuck.

Chris, you had one job.

We had me on the garlic bread.

I burnt the first batch,

but then I learned there was a few people

that didn't even do anything in the kitchen.

They were just sitting there looking pretty.

Uh, Huda.

I just want to toast to everybody here,

especially our families that stopped their lives

and basically sacrificed a lot of time

to come out here to support us.

And this is one of the last few days that we'll all be together

away from everything.

And I just want to say, I love y'all.

- We love you. Cheers. - Cheers!

- Cheers. - Cheers.

- Alright, dig in. - Alright.

Salud. Salud. Vamos comida.

I'm full with gratitude

that, today, we got to spend time

with our family and being here.

I did miss home a lot, but day by day,

each one of you guys started to feel like home to me.

And I'm grateful that I could call this a family.

- We love you so much, Amaya. - I love you guys.

So, what do you guys think is, like,

your highest and lowest moment in the village?

Oh. Oh, oh, oh.

Well, what is everyone's peaks and pits of this season?

- Did you just copy me? - No, no, no, no.

It's like when you copy somebody's homework,

but you make it a little bit different.

Just answer the question.

Honestly, my peak here is Amaya.

The amount of love you got to give is

something I'll forever cherish.

We'll see where our road takes us,

but I guarantee you it's something long,

and I just can't wait to see it.

And never change, be unapologetically you.

My mom sent a message and she said how much she loved you

and she can't wait to meet you.

Oh, thank you.

Bryan, we love you so much.

My peak moments here was just bonding with the girls

and opening up to each other about so much.

And, you know, meeting Bryan, as well.

I guess I would have, like, a lot to say,

but, like, one of my pit moments was the way I spoke to Ace

when we had that miscommunication.

- Yeah. - But I'm just so happy

that we have such a great friendship now.

And I just wanted to say sorry for just...

Give me a hug.

...for the way that I handled that whole situation.

Nah, you're good, yo. I appreciate that.

Of course, of course.

Amaya Papaya.

I think some pit moments for me was definitely my crash-out.

That was a very big pit moment for me,

but it was also a learning curve for me.

But a peak moment, I would say,

was the recoupling after Casa Amor.

My peak was for sure today, seeing my mom and my sister.

And another peak was for sure

playing basketball with the guys.

That was probably some of the most fun I ever had.

I'm not even gonna lie. So...

What was my other one?

I don't have another one.

Yeah. Appreciate y'all, man.

**

Today has truly been one of the best days

of this experience for me.

My mom is my superwoman.

Her letting me know how proud she is of me

truly made me happy,

gave me the reassurance that I didn't know I needed.

So I'm definitely going to end this journey on a great note,

knowing that my family back home is cheering me on

and so happy for me.

Aww! I love that. I really do love that.

Thank you.

There's so many good memories in here.

I feel like-- I feel like this dinner is so nice

and like we're ending this on such a happy note.

- Yes. - It's like our little, like--

We're all in a chariot, led by horses going into the sunset.

"Fly with the eagles or walk with the chickens."

And I think you're, like, the eagle to fly with.

We both are eagles, bro.

Keep flying.

I'm gonna need you in my life for the rest of my life.

Of course, bitch. I'm not going nowhere.

- This doesn't feel real. - I know. This is crazy.

Losing my best girl, my soul sister,

the person I started this entire journey with,

it hurts so much.

One thing about it,

I didn't even ruin my own makeup for my damn self,

but I ruined it a little bit for my girl Chelley.

To finish it off like this,

Like, I'm going to miss everybody.

I'm going to miss the Villa.

But I feel like my purpose here was fulfilled.

**

I got what I was looking for, so I can't be mad.

I feel like I came in here and conquered

and did what I wanted to do, which was find a person.

And Chelley was that comfort,

that person who I feel like I could be myself around.
