There are near-breakups, some witchy relationship cleansing, new additions, and the most dramatic prom ever.
Aaron tries to goad Ivan into a fight, saying he can’t help but get angry.
Dude, we know.

That’s like your defining characteristic.
And what, Ivan, you just fell on her mouth?
Never apologize for what someone else thinks, just apologize for your actions, bro!
Wells is so, so disappointed in you.ABC
I was team Ivan, but why are you lying, sir?
But James convinces him to stay.
Oh, the bromance.
Time to throw a hissy fit.ABC
But, record scratch, she did not ask to talk to Ivan.
The beach starts to realize that Ivan was lying.
Now, Chelsea has to confront Ivan about his lies (girl, you must be exhausted).
An accident waiting to happen.ABC
Ivan, we all know that’s not what you said or what you meant.
Finally, it’s time for the long-delayed rose ceremony.
Wells goes into stern parent mode, asking Ivan to be completely honest with him.
The sandiest prom-posal.ABC
Here’s what she looks like in case you, like me, forgot.
Do we think they did this purposefully to stir up more drama?
90 percent chance, right?
A royal kiss.ABC
Wells gives Ivan full disappointed dad face.
He made a giant mistake.
But we’re not finished, first, Wells wants Ivan to confess his sins to the group.
Ivan cries in the confessional about how he came to Paradise with pure intentions, and you know what?
I just think the minute Jessenia pulled the rug out from under him he started grasping at straws.
Ivan says his goodbyes, which Aaron patently refuses to participate in.
Riley admonishes him for not sticking to their pledge to be better men.
He made a choice and he has to own it.
Personal responsibility, what a concept!
But, no, seriously, did he and Alexa reconnect once he left?
I need the details!
Now, it’s actually time for the rose ceremony, where everything goes pretty much as it should.
I hope you learned something about women, communication, and love languages on this journey.
It’s time to bid adieu to Blake, Demar, and Dr. Joe.
But first, we need to meet the new celebrity guest host and what?
He’s worried they’re not on the same page and says their relationship has fizzled.
There’s no more passion.
She is ready to play, dabbing pheromones on her wrists.
Does that actually work?
Though he IS the only one on the beach who hasn’t gone on a date yet.
Anna asks him out, and he accepts.
He can tell she’s holding back a bit because both her and Noah are afraid to be vulnerable.
Because churros are definitely great aphrodisiacs.
Stop trying to make covering people in food sexy,Bachelor,it’s never going to happen!
They get washed off, and it’s time for their actual massage.
Truly, I would leave Paradise before I’d ever allow this to occur.
Our final new addition, Mykenna, comes down, looking to find love.
But Mykenna pulls literally every guy aside, only to discover that they’re taken.
She gets increasingly disheartened, but when Aaron seems more open she asks him out.
Everyone thinks it’s so sweet, except for Natasha, who is rightfully mad as hell.
Did they polish them just prior to the date in the hopes of creating content for a blooper reel?
But they pledge to go back and forth for awhile until they figure it out.
For Joe’s sake, I hope Serena likes Chicago.
Somehow that works and now Mari and Kenny are all in once again.
You could say they “charmed” each other.
I know, I know.
Now, it’s time for Abigail and Noah to get vulnerable.
He realizes it’s now or never, and he tells her he’s falling in love with her.
She says nothing in response, which Noah takes as a bad sign.
He feels like he needs to make a decision if this relationship should continue or not.
The guys offer the gals adorable prom-posals.
Joe wins for cuteness with his sand-writing.
Everyone is excited for prom but Tia, who is feeling very down about being single AF.
Just go dance your socks off Tia, you’ll be fine!
Oh, and she’ll be the only single gal there because Natasha is sick (a.k.a.
over this show and refusing to leave her bed).
It’s a prom extravaganza.
Tia is feeling forlorn, but then Aaron takes her outside for a second.
Okay, Tia, but does he make your vagina dance?
They return to the dance floor, newly coupled up, both fearing Chelsea’s wrath.
She’s probably right.
Paradise superlatives are awarded.
But Abigail and Noah get most likely to live happily ever after.
Y’all really know how to jinx things don’t you?
Somehow being named the best couple by the producers is the validation Abigail needed.
Not, you know, her boyfriend telling her he’s falling in love with her.
“you could love somebody but not be in love with them,” he tells us.
Oof, ain’t that the truth.
As he starts to break up with her, Noah is crying.
He’s tried to fight this nagging feeling, but it’s not going away.
Abigail is completely blindsided.
She gets up and walks away, and he chases her, until she escapes into the bathroom.
Poor, sweet Abigail.
