If you're a fan of Married At First Sight, you know the couples retreat week can be very, very dramatic.
Last year's saw the feud between Domenica and Olivia escalate after the two got into an argument during girls' night, which resulted in Domenica smashing a wine glass.
So, with tensions high between couples in this season of Married At First Sight, we thought we'd recap what went down just in case you didn't have a spare three or so hours to sit there watching with your mouth slightly agape.
1. After some long, hard weeks, Hugo finally got to sleep in a real bed.
2. Hugo told the boys he was heading into the retreat with optimistic hopes after a rough week with Tayla, but her rules on not wanting affection from him were hard to deal with...
3. ...Meanwhile, over in the girls' corner, Tayla was boasting about her high sex drive and having the biggest "sex bag" — something Hugo then overheard. Oops!
4. Tayla then confessed that her ex had been in contact with her "the other day", leaving poor Hugo shocked.
5. Bronte confessed to the group that she and Harrison staged a butt dial* to see if Evelyn's story held up.
6. Evelyn insisted there WAS a butt dial and Rupert backed her up, but Harrison chose not to believe it and said his trust with Rupert had been broken.
7. In true King behaviour, Rupert told Harrison he didn't care if he doesn't trust him.
8. Bronte then stood up for Harrison to the other girls, after Melinda said he gets too involved with everyone else's business. "I'll always have his back, no matter what," Bronte told the girls.
9. Melinda told Bronte she's losing herself to Harrison, with Claire backing her up. Bronte went into full denial mode and claimed the others are "jealous" and "want what she and Harrison have".
Slight intermission: To lighten the tension the next day, Jesse did a nudie run and gave everyone a full frontal show.
10. After a day of laughs and tennis with the boys, Duncan learned he's in the doghouse with Alyssa for not spending time with her all day.
11. At girls' and boys' night respectively, Alyssa and Duncan debrief to the ladies and lads about their fight. Alyssa is MAD and Duncan is...confused.
12. Melinda decided to confront Bronte about the fact Bronte thinks Mel is now Public Enemy No.1 because of her Barrison stance (we can work on that couple name).
13. Evelyn and Melinda then decided to flee girls' night to spy on the boys — and overheard Harrison telling Layton that his relationship with Melinda is toxic.
14. As Melinda reported back to the girls on what was said, she asked Bronte if she agrees with Harrison's assessment of her relationship. Bronte stormed off for the second night in a row.
15. Claire dropped on the girls that Bronte has said to her that she doesn't see a future with Harrison and Claire is getting the sense that he's an emotional manipulator.
16. Bronte debriefed with Harrison about what happened and he enacted revenge by telling Layton that Melinda eavesdropped boys' night before she gets a chance to talk to him, which left Layton VERY unimpressed.
17. After the two have an argument, Melinda awoke the next day to find Layton gone.
18. In new brewing drama, Lyndall discussed with Tahnee that Tayla may just be into Cam, because she's certainly not into Hugo! This much we know!
19. Aaaand back to old brewing drama, Alyssa was in fresh tears thinking about where she's at with Duncan. She's upset that he wanted to uh *checks notes* spend the day with her.
20. Bronte decided to pull Melinda aside to tell her she absolutely wasn't being gaslit and Harrison is very genuine.
21. Bronte THEN dropped on Melinda that Layton said at boys' night that he isn't happy and he's in a toxic relationship!
22. Melinda tried to tell Layton that Harrison is trying to stir the pot with them, and it ended in an argument when Layton told her he just wanted to focus on their relationship.
23. Eventually Layton realised he needed to put Harrison in his place, so at the final dinner that's exactly what happened! We love a man defending his queen! We love to see Harrison caught out in his tangled little web!
24. And this all resulted in Bronte apologising to Harrison for "misunderstanding" what he said. Yes, you read that right.
25. Melinda called Harrison out, labelling him a manipulator and told him to stay away from her and Layton's relationship.
26. Bronte went in to bat for Harrison and said she wouldn't be with someone who was nasty or manipulative. In fact, she asked for someone kind and who would speak their mind and "that's exactly what I got".
27. Harrison and Bronte then decided to confront the whole group and ask if they think their relationship is fake. As the group awkwardly danced around it, Claire said she does and Evelyn piped up to say that all the girls did agree that it wasn't genuine.
28. Oh! To wrap things up, at some stage Hugo asked Tayla about what her ex-boyfriend was sexting her. She said there was no sexting?!
29. AND for some reason, Tayla then decided to get mad at Evelyn for standing in the background staring at her during her argument with Hugo, before telling her to "f*ck off".
30. In some interesting foreshadowing, Cam was the one to go comfort Tayla.
31. Thankfully we ended the retreat on a somewhat hopeful note – Bronte admitted the girls' distrust of Harrison had planted a seed of doubt in her mind. WE CAN ONLY HOPE!
