Narrator, Iain Stirling (voice-over):
Previously, on Love Island...
The Islanders faced a tough Stick or Switch recoupling...
Chelsea: All I can do now is trust the universe to make a good decision for me.
We said goodbye to Casa Amor.
Graham: Lads, it's been an honour to share this journey with you.
And then the girls faced their fears...
When they were reunited with the boys in the Villa.
Lucas: Hey guys. It's so good to see you all again!
Blake: I'm so excited to meet you all!
When Lucas walked in with a new girl
there were more surprised double-takes than a
mob of meerkats at a magic show.
'Mob' is the right word, I looked it up.
But the big question is now...
What will Grace do next?
Fire Pit
The warm evening breeze drops away, and the night is still. There's quiet as all the Islanders look at you. You look at Lucas, and then down at the empty space beside you.
Grace's thoughts: Lucas chose to recouple with someone new. Now everyone's looking at me. How should I react to Lucas switching me for Blake? What should I say?
"I'm happy for you." Her voice is calm, steady, lips curling in a gentle, almost unbothered smile.
Lucas's smile fades and he looks unsure. "You are?" he asks, incredulous. Beside him, Blake's expression mirrors his, but her posture stiffens just a bit.
"Why wouldn't I be?" Grace says with a faint shrug. "I'm not going to be angry if you think you've found the one, Lucas."
"I've got to say, I didn't expect you to be so cool with this." Lucas shifted awkwardly, and his tone was uneasy.
Grace thinks, And that's why we don't make a good couple. You don't really know me at all.
"Wow. I don't really know what to say about that. You're a better person than I am, Grace. I know I'd be raging if the tables were turned." He lets out a small, nervous laugh as he rubs the back of his neck.
Lucas's gaze lingers for a moment on Priya, then flits anxiously to you. "Obviously I was worried how this would play out."
"Don't worry about it, Lucas. I'll be fine." Chelsea reaches over and squeezes your hand.
He looks up, relieved. Aware of Lucas, Blake, and the other Islanders are all watching you. You smiled cheekily and in a playful tone said, "It won't be the first time I have risen from the ashes like a phoenix, either." You strike a playful pose, tossing your hair over your shoulder. "Better keep an eye on your fellas, ladies. Cos my status just changed to 'sexy and single'!
The other Islanders laugh. Chelsea wraps her arm around your waist. "Oh, my God, love it, babes." She gives you a wink. "Hands off Elijah, though."
"This is Blake, by the way. But you know that. I already said that." He gestures at her with an awkward smile.
