Although the night is spirited, lighthearted, and fun for the most part, there are a lot of questions about who will take whom for the final dream date. Mandy and Shannon are nervous about having to narrow the focus down to one. After the pool party at CMR, Billy and Kaya walk along the sand, trying to have a private talk about Billy's many concerns. While he feels self-imposed pressure to get intimate with Vanessa, he knows that Mandy will not handle it well even if she is doing the same thing on the other side with one of the singles. His conflict over his devotion to Mandy and his guilty desire for Vanessa finally erupts in anger.
Morning gives way to a new day, but the tension has carried over.
At breakfast Billy and Kaya anticipate the next two days. Billy fears the 48-hour countdown until they are reunited with their girlfriends. Probably an explosion of emotion. Kaya wonders where Andy could be. Since Andy is kayaking with Megan, Kaya has not had a chance to discuss his decision with Megan at all.
