I ended up cutting out the outfit selection dialogue because it was virtually identical to the previous episode’s and it saves me time. It doesn’t have any direct impact on gameplay anyhow.
If there are any glaring mistakes please let me know*
!Spoilers Ahead!
*I know the Dana & Kat changing scene is wonky but it wasn't worth the effort to make it flow well for a scene that's only there to encourage you to spend gems on outfits.
NARRATOR: Something is brewing. Is it coffee? Is it one of Finn’s craft IPAs? Nope, it’s drama with a capital D.
NARRATOR: Kat’s storming towards [MC]. This can only mean one thing!
NARRATOR: A handshake and a mutual appreciation of opposing opinions.
You and Alfie are on the bean bags as Kat storms across the garden towards you!
KAT: I need a chat with you, now!
You try to leave, to give Alfie and Kat their space.
KAT: With both of you!
You freeze.
ALFIE: You don't need to get [MC] involved.
KAT: From my view, she looked VERY involved with you, babe.
MC: Oh so you're spying on me now?
KAT: The whole villa just saw you two.
ALFIE: It wasn't a big deal. It was just some cheeky flirting.
KAT: Wise up, hun. She's after you.
MC: Excuse me?!
KAT: Cracking on with someone else's guy?
KAT: Whatever happened to girl-code?
CHOICE
①. I’ll flirt with who I want
②. Sorry, you're right
③. I can flash some claws of my own, Kat
①.
MC: If I want to flirt with Alfie, I will.
You seductively place your hand on Alfie’s arm
MC: Alfie doesn’t seem to mind.
MC: Do you, Alife?
KAT: You’re messing with his head.
MC: Chill, Kat. Maybe it’s just flirting.
②.
MC: You're right. I'm sorry.
MC: You and Alfie are in a couple, and I should have respected that.
MC: I get that what we did could have seemed over the line from your point of view.
③.
MC: If you want to go there, Kat, I’ll go there.
MC: And you don't give a crap about girl-code.
MC: You're acting all aggy about me having a chat with Alfie.
MC: But everyone knows you'd bin him, as soon as, for a bit of Finn.
—
KAT: You're a sneak!
MC: Are you serious?
MC: In the couples quiz, you said we all need to get to know each other!
{If kissed Alfie E02}
KAT: That doesn't mean kissing him for everyone to see!
{If smiled at Alfie E02}
KAT: That doesn't mean flirting with him for everyone to see!
{If hugged Alfie E02}
KAT: That doesn't mean hugging him for everyone to see!
Alfie slides between you and Kat.
ALFIE: It's calm, it's calm.
ALFIE: Kat, I owe you an explanation. Can we have a chat?
KAT: To be continued then.
ALFIE: Come on, Kat. Let's have a private chat. We'll sort this between us.
Kat reluctantly allows Alfie to escort her to the swing. You exhale. Dana hurries over to you.
DANA: Oh my days of the week! That chat was A LOT.
DANA: Do you think Kat will let it go now she's said her piece?
CHOICE
①. Yeah, it’ll be chill
②. I’m worried she won’t
③. No, but bring it on
①.
MC: I think it’ll blow over.
MC: She’s let it out. I bet she calms down now.
②.
MC: I doubt she’ll drop it, but I wish she would!
MC: Not everyone wants a lot of drama.
③.
MC: No way is she over this. But, bring it on, Kat!
MC: If she’s out to cause drama, I won’t back down.
—
DANA: She was the one out of line.
{If flirt who I want}
MC: Exactly! I’m entitled to flirt.
{If said sorry}
MC: Even so, I apologised. That’s all I can do.
{If flash claws}
MC: Exactly! And I don’t put up with that.
You see Kat glaring at you from across the garden.
——————————————————————————————————
The afternoon sun is hot and heavy. You're on the day beds with Eddie and Finn.
EDDIE: That confrontation with you and Kat was intense!
FINN: Kat was breathing fire, so she was.
He flaps his arms and cries like a dragon. You laugh.
FINN: Day one and the drama is here!
EDDIE: [MC], how are you feeling after that?
CHOICE
①. Whatever. I'm not rattled
②. I feel bad. I hate drama
③. I'm feeling good. No regrets
①.
MC: I’m not bothered.
MC: Kat's all bark, no bite.
MC: She can say what she wants. I’m not gonna let it bother me.
②.
MC: Ugh. I feel kinda bad.
FINN: Why? Kat was the one kicking off.
MC: Yeah, but I hate drama.
MC: I hope this blows over fast.
③.
MC: I’m great! I know I did nothing wrong.
MC: It’s not against the rules to flirt in the villa.
MC: So what if Alfie and I were flirting in front of everyone?
MC: Would she rather we did it behind her back?
FINN: You're a little drama-magnet, aren't you?
MC: Hey! Maybe I think it's healthy to be open and upfront.
MC: If someone has a problem with me, I want to know.
—
MC: Hey! Maybe I think it's healthy to be open and upfront.
MC: If someone has a problem with me, I want to know.
Finn chuckles.
FINN: No way Kat's gonna let this go.
FINN: I can hear the fireworks already.
He cups his ear and pretends to listen.
EDDIE: Don't stoke the flames, bro.
FINN: Talking of stoking flames…
{If don't remember date E02}
FINN: [MC], you said in the quiz you didn't remember that hot air balloon Suresh took you on.
FINN: Loved seeing you winding him up.
MC: Are you stirring the pot, Finn?
Finn holds up his hands, innocently. But he's smiling.
MC: I see you smiling, Finn.
FINN: A bit of drama keeps life interesting.
{If love adventure dates E02}
FINN: I think you get it, [MC]. You said in the quiz, you're into adventurous dates.
MC: Dates, yeah. Don't know if that always applies to life in general.
EDDIE: There's a difference between adventure and drama.
EDDIE: Gotta keep it chill, keep it calm.
{If prefer chilled dates E02}
EDDIE: [MC], you said in the quiz that you like chilled dates.
EDDIE: Chill is my goal in dates and life.
FINN: Eddie, I can't picture you having a barney.
EDDIE: That's because you've never seen me after losing a rugby match.
They laugh.
MC: Boys and sport.
You roll your eyes.
FINN: Don't hate on sport.
FINN: Sport is one of the ways we let out our feelings.
He and Finn tackle each other in a bear hug.
You laugh. Finn pulls you into the bear hug and the three of you roll on the day bed, laughing loudly.
This draws the watchful eyes of Suresh. You notice him hanging about by the pool, pretending to not be looking in your direction.
FINN: Hey, [MC]!
Your attention is drawn back to Finn and Eddie. Finn stands on the day bed, flexing in ridiculous poses.
Eddie bench-presses pillows. He pretends to strain under their ‘weight'.
EDDIE: This doing it for you, [MC]?
You laugh, entertained by the boys' shenanigans.
FINN: Fancy a private chat with one of us manly specimens?
{If get to know the boys E02}
MC: Finn, we had a private chat on the terrace earlier.
FINN: But there’s so much more Finn to get to know.
{If turn the guys down E02}
FINN: You turned down my offer of a private chat earlier.
FINN: Don’t tell me you’re gonna pie me off again?
FINN: I promise Eddie won't cry when you pick me.
Eddie playfully jabs Finn in the ribs.
EDDIE: As if she'd pick a cocky bro like you.
You laugh but it’s interrupted by Kat calling across the garden from the kitchen.
KAT: Finn? Can you help me move this chair? I need your muscles.
Kat shoots you a mischievous look as Finn stands up.
FINN: I must go where I’m needed.
FINN: Lucky break for you, Eddie boy.
Finn grins and swaggers off to the kitchen to help Kat. You and Eddie are left on the day beds.
EDDIE: The mosquitos are out. I’ve got this great lemongrass oil that you rub on your skin to keep them away.
EDDIE: Shall we go upstairs and get it? I can help you rub it in.
CHOICE
①. Yes, please!
②. Nah, I’m good as is
①.
MC: I’d love that, thanks.
MC: You can do my back for me.
EDDIE: My pleasure.
EDDIE: Lead the way.
②.
MC: I’m happy chilling here and I already put some oil on… But we can chat here.
EDDIE: Wouldn’t you rather get to know each other somewhere we can talk a little more freely?
EDDIE: Away from ol' Hungry Eyes?
He points at Suresh over at the pool. Suresh is still pretending - badly - not to be watching you.
EDDIE: We haven’t had a proper chance to get to know each other yet.
EDDIE: You sure you don’t want to move someplace more private?
CHOICE
❶. You’re right. Let’s go!
❷. Nah, let’s go to the swing seat instead
❶.
MC: To upstairs!
EDDIE: After you.
He gestures for you to lead the way towards the villa.
❷.
MC: I don’t want to go all the way upstairs, but let's move to the swing seat.
MC: We’ll be able to talk more openly there, but it won’t look like we’re sneaking off to do anything too naughty.
MC: Maybe there’s been enough drama already.
—
Just then, you see Suresh approach Alfie and take him off for a private chat. You wonder what Suresh is up to.
{if chat with Eddie privately}————————————————————
You and Eddie recline next to each other on one of the beds.
MC: How are you finding villa life?
EDDIE: This might be my fave bit so far.
He slowly rubs lemongrass oil on the top of your back.
MC: Of the villa or of my back?
EDDIE: Both.
EDDIE: Thanks for having this chat with me.
MC: Of course. I want to get to know you better.
EDDIE: I’m an open book. Read me!
MC: OK, then. Tell me, in relationships, are you a player or a stayer?
EDDIE: Stayer, a million percent. I was with my last girlfriend for 3 years.
MC: And you never cheated?
EDDIE: I've never, ever cheated! That's not who I am.
MC: A good guy, huh?
EDDIE: I try to be. I love animals. I'm close with my family.
MC: So you're saying you're a catch?
EDDIE: Hopefully you think I’m boyfriend material?
CHOICE
①. You’re a dreamboat
②. Not in my opinion
③. I'm not sure yet
①.
MC: Sounds like you're a dream guy.
EDDIE: Are you saying I'm YOUR dream guy?
MC: Maybe. Although it’s still early days.
EDDIE: True, but you’re seeming pretty dreamy yourself so far.
②.
MC: Maybe I look for something else in a boyfriend?
Eddie pretends to have been stabbed in the heart.
EDDIE: No! You're ruining me.
MC: You'll get over it.
③.
MC: I can't tell yet.
MC: Like you say, this is only our first proper chat.
EDDIE: You'll just have to get to know me more then, won't you?
—
EDDIE: Whatever I am, at least I'm not like Suresh.
MC: Meaning?
EDDIE: He's a cheater. And he walks around the villa all cocky. Not my vibe.
CHOICE
①. Hey, don't slag off Suresh
②. You’re right about Suresh!
③. Let's change the topic
①.
MC: You don't know Suresh well enough to talk bad about him.
EDDIE: I know I don't trust a cheater.
MC: People are complicated.
EDDIE: Treating people right seems pretty simple to me.
②.
MC: You're so right. Suresh is way too cocky.
MC: He always was.
EDDIE: I can't picture you with someone like him.
③.
MC: Ugh, let's not talk about Suresh.
MC: I can't seem to get away from him in this villa.
EDDIE: Sorry! We defo don't have to talk about him.
MC: Thanks!
—
EDDIE: Let’s talk about something much more fun: me and you.
MC: You think there’s a potential ‘me and you’?
EDDIE: I have a feeling there could be.
MC: Time to turn the tables. I want to hear what you think of the girls.
EDDIE: You're all stunning, obviously.
EDDIE: You've certainly caught my eye.
CHOICE
①. Flirt back
②. Play it cool
①.
MC: Oh really?
EDDIE: What do you think about that?
MC: I can't imagine nicer eyes to be caught in.
EDDIE: Back at you. I can feel myself melting every time you look at me.
②.
MC: Thought you were cool?
EDDIE: Things heated up when you walked in.
—
Both of your eyes move to the bottle of lemongrass oil.
CHOICE
①. Offer to rub oil into his back
②. Hold back for now
①.
MC: Want me to return the favour?
EDDIE: If you’re happy to, I’m not complaining.
You spray the oil onto his toned back and gently rub it into his shoulders, feeling his muscles tense and relax as you do.
EDDIE: That feels amazing.
You work your way down his smooth back a little, rubbing in circular motions. You notice how the smell of the oil combines with his own fragrance.
He turns and smiles at you, attraction and affection in his eyes.
②.
You return Eddie’s smile but leave it at that, for now.
MC: You're just saying that as I'm sat here.
EDDIE: I'm not. You really have caught my eye.
MC: Who says I want your eyes – or any of you – on me?
EDDIE: I think you might.
—
You can't help smiling. Another boy in this villa is after you.
MC: How are you feeling about Dana? I thought I picked up a vibe between you two.
EDDIE: Maybe I was just trying to make you jealous?
MC: That wouldn’t be very nice of you.
MC: I thought you were Mr Nice Guy?
EDDIE: I am! I was just joking.
EDDIE: Luckily, what I lack in jokes, I make up for in honesty.
He gives you a beaming smile with his perfect teeth and gorgeous, sparkling eyes.
{if chat with Eddie on swing}————————————————————
You and Eddie sit on the swing. The other Islanders are in view but out of earshot.
Eddie plucks a flower from a vine on the wall and sticks it behind your ear.
MC: You're loving this, aren't you?
EDDIE: Being here with you? Yes.
MC: I meant being in the villa. You look like you're in your element.
EDDIE: I'm loving villa life. Beautiful place, beautiful girls, not much competition to speak of.
MC: Oh really? So what’s your read on the other boys?
EDDIE: Finn? He's a hunk, but he knows it. Head’s too big.
EDDIE: Alfie's fun… as a mate. He's got bants for days.
EDDIE: And Suresh? He's got a cool spy vibe going. But that's also his problem: too slick, too slippery.
MC: Sounds like you've got everyone figured out.
EDDIE: What? You don't agree?
CHOICE
①. I agree, a million percent
②. You're talking out of your arse
③. A girl never reveals her secrets
④. I guess I agree with some of that
①.
MC: I totally agree.
MC: You might come across as cocky, but you're not wrong about the boys.
EDDIE: Ya see?
He winks.
②.
MC: I think you're way off about the boys.
MC: You're selling them short. There's more to each of them than you think.
EDDIE: Oh really? Interesting.
③.
MC: Wouldn't you like to know?
MC: I'm not letting you in on what I think about the other boys.
EDDIE: Go on. I won't tell them.
MC: My lips are sealed.
④.
MC: I think you’re spot on about some of those things. But off the mark on some stuff too.
EDDIE: Enlighten me, please.
MC: I think I’ll let you figure it out for yourself.
—
MC: Time to turn the tables. I want to hear what you think of the girls.
EDDIE: You're all stunning, obviously.
EDDIE: You've certainly caught my eye.
CHOICE
①. Flirt back
②. Play it cool
①.
MC: Oh really?
EDDIE: What do you think about that?
MC: I can't imagine nicer eyes to be caught in.
②.
MC: You're just saying that because I'm sat here.
EDDIE: I'm not. You really have caught my eye.
MC: Who says I want your eyes – or any of you – on me?
EDDIE: I think you do.
—
EDDIE: You’re giving me a lot to think about, [MC].
MC: Like what?
EDDIE: Let’s just say it involves eggs and baskets. And where to put them.
Eddie gives you a playful wink and a chuckle. You can't help smiling. Another boy in the villa is competing for you.
——————————————————————————————————
You enter the kitchen to grab a drink. And who's there? Suresh.
MC: Hi.
SURESH: Surprised to see you taking a break from riling me up.
MC: I've barely spoken to you tonight.
SURESH: Exactly. You've been flirting and chatting with all the boys in front of me.
MC: That's what people do in the villa.
SURESH: Except you're doing it to put me off.
SURESH: You're hoping I'll give up on you and move on to another girl.
MC: That's a big assumption.
SURESH: I know your games, babe.
CHOICE
①. I’m not playing games
②. My games are too good for you to spot
③. You don’t know who I am now
①.
MC: How dare you tell me I’m playing games?
MC: If anyone’s playing games, it’s you.
SURESH: That doesn’t sound like me.
②.
MC: Suresh, if I were playing games, you’d never even know.
MC: I’m on another whole level than you.
MC: I could play games around you all day long if I wanted to, and you’d never be the wiser.
SURESH: Now that’d be interesting.
③.
MC: Whoever you thought I was then isn’t who I am now. I’ve changed since our break-up.
SURESH: People don’t change. Not really.
MC: Well, then, I guess you’ll have to wait and see.
—
SURESH: Games or no games, my head won't be turned, no matter who walks through that door.
SURESH: I'm going to win you back.
{If could want Suresh back E02}
SURESH: I know you said I need to convince you, and I will.
{If don't want Suresh back E02}
SURESH: I know you said you don't want me back, but I'll change your mind.
{If not sure E02}
SURESH: I know you're not sure, but you will be.
SURESH: I’ve changed a lot since you last saw me… I’ll show you.
SURESH: I admit it: In the past, I didn’t treat you as well as you deserved.
SURESH: And I'm not claiming to have turned into an angel now….
SURESH: After all, angels are boring…
SURESH: But I am done cheating.
CHOICE
①. Maybe you’ve learned your lesson
②. I don't buy it, Suresh
①.
MC: I might believe you.
SURESH: Do you?
MC: I’m saying it’s possible you mean it when you say you're not a cheater anymore.
MC: Whether you can follow through is something else.
②.
MC: You can save your breath, ‘cos I'm not buying it.
SURESH: I'm serious.
MC: You can talk the talk, but so far, your actions don’t match what you’re saying.
—
SURESH: Don’t worry; I'll show you I'm serious.
SURESH: I'll give you some space to get your head sorted. That’s what a good guy would do, right?
MC: Are you saying you’re a good guy now?
Suresh gives you a mysterious smile as he hovers closer to you…
SURESH: Fair. I'll never be good, but that's what turns you on about me.
CHOICE
①. Don’t tell me what I think!
②. I like nice guys
③. Maybe it does
①.
MC: Don’t assume you know my mind! Ugh, that’s so typical of you!
MC: You haven’t changed at all.
You turn to leave.
SURESH: Wait!
SURESH: Hear me out.
②.
MC: What turns me on is a nice boy.
MC: ‘Good’ is what I’m into.
MC: Not that you’d understand that.
SURESH: Actually, I do. I get it now.
③.
MC: Maybe I like the bad boy thing…
MC: Maybe I just don’t like it on YOU anymore?
MC: Or maybe I like a bad boy who’s actually a good guy deep down.
SURESH: Maybe that’s who I am now.
—
SURESH: I’m different now.
SURESH: Back then, I’d do anything – say anything – to get in your bed.
MC: Now you’ve gotten back into my bed ‘cos we’re a couple. No change there.
SURESH: That’s where you’re wrong.
SURESH: I’m stepping back and giving you the bed.
MC: What?
SURESH: I’ll sleep on the day beds tonight.
MC: Why would you do that?
SURESH: Got to give you a chance to miss me.
SURESH: But seriously. I’ll give you all the space you need. I’m ready to play the long game.
SURESH: Sweet dreams.
He swaggers away with a sexy smirk.
You watch him as he walks out into the garden, sipping gently on his drink.
——————————————————————————————————
You and the other girls are in the dressing room, removing the day's make-up. Obvious tension in the air between you and Kat.
MC: Intense day, huh?
KAT: That's one word for it.
DANA: Today was bonkers-tonkers! But I'm having a blast.
DANA: I'm obsessed with those little birdies that keep drinking from the pool!
DANA: Worst case scenario and I don't find love in here? At least I'll have seen some sick wildlife.
DANA: I'll be the girl who leaves the villa with a nightingale!
The mood lightens in the room.
DANA: Girls, what'd you say to a 'no cracking on' pact?
KAT: Babe, cracking on is the whole reason I'm here.
DANA: Just for tonight, I mean.
Kat raises an eyebrow.
DANA: As a way to keep the drama at bay on the first night. Ya know?
KAT: OK, then. I'm all about girl-code.
She shoots you a look.
DANA: You down, [MC]?
CHOICE
①. Yes girl-code! I'm down with the pact
②. Nah, I reserve my right to crack on!
①.
MC: Absolutely.
MC: I'm so down with this pact. Great idea!
MC: The Suresh situation has caused enough drama for one day.
KAT: Let's not forget the Alfie situ, too.
DANA: Yay! Pact!
②.
MC: No cracking on sounds like no fun.
MC: I'm all for girl-code, but this is Love Island, not friend island.
DANA: I just thought maybe after the whole Suresh situ this afternoon, we'd want a drama-free night?
MC: Sometimes you need to step on toes to find love.
MC: Sorry, girls. I vote no on the pact.
DANA: Fair; you do you, girl. But Kat and I are committed to the pact.
DANA: Right, Kat?
—
KAT: 'No cracking on' doesn't mean no looking.
She smiles mischievously.
KAT: Sharing a bedroom full of hot guys is my kind of paradise.
You and Dana exchange a nervous glance. Kat catches you.
KAT: Don't get moody, babes.
KAT: The pact ain't stopping me from being the hottest girl in the bedroom.
KAT: I've got a banging outfit for tonight.
DANA: Me too. The pact doesn’t mean I’m not going all out to make an impression on the first night.
DANA: Gonna make sure I’m looking and feeling lush!
KAT: Talking a strong game, Dana. Wonder whether {0} will go big or go home?
DANA: I’ve got an idea. Try on this gorgeous bedroom outfit, {0}.
KAT: That's a saucy little outfit.
KAT: Guess you're trying to compete with me.
DANA: Woooooooooo, girl! You look hot!
DANA: I can't get enough.
DANA: So, are you gonna go with that or something else?
CHOICE
①. Yes, I’m wearing this!
②. I’m going to see what else I’ve got
③. Maybe I’ll stick with what I was wearing
① & ②.
You pose confidently in front of the mirror.
MC: I love it.
DANA: You are looking absolutely fire!
KAT: Yep, even I can’t argue with that!
③.
MC: I can just change back…
MC: Is it too blah?
DANA: OK, real talk.
DANA: You know I think you’re hot as heck, but
DANA: You’re selling yourself short in that.
DANA: Plus, the boys might not get your whole… uhrmmm… effortless chic thing.
KAT: Your whole grandma thing, more like.
You study yourself in the mirror. Maybe you do look a little basic.
DANA: If you're not feeling those PJs, change into something else.
CHOICE
❶. You’ve swayed me. I’m going for this fancy outfit!
❷. I’m going to see what else I’ve got
❸. I’m sticking with my original look
❶ & ❷.
DANA: So, you’ve settled on the saucy outfit anyway. Can’t blame you.
KAT: Yeah, you look stunning. I’m not sure I’d have been able to pick anything else.
❸.
MC: I look nice in this.
DANA: You do you, [MC].
KAT: Sometimes it helps to be a little bit more than nice though, babe.
MC: Actually, I do look absolutely stunning in this!
DANA: You sure do.
KAT: I’ve got to give it to you. You look pretty good. Almost as good as me.
DANA: No need to be sour, Kat.
DANA: You look great in that outfit!
KAT: Yeah, it’s a good choice too, you look hot as.
DANA: So, you’re sticking with the basics. Fair enough.
KAT: Well, I guess you’ll be comfortable at least.
Kat and Dana strut out of the dressing room.
You check yourself out in the mirror for a moment before heading towards the bedroom.
As you're stepping out of the dressing room, Alfie catches you.
ALFIE: Can we have a quick chat?
MC: Sure. What's up?
ALFIE: I've been feeling low-key awks about the Kat drama earlier.
MC: Not your fault. Kat is…
ALFIE: She's fiery.
You chuckle.
MC: She’s not shy, that’s for sure.
ALFIE: She knows her mind and doesn't take any crap. I like that.
MC: Oh. Ok.
ALFIE: It's all good.
ALFIE: Listen, I wanted to say I hope that the drama with Kat hasn't jeopardised our friendship.
MC: So we're just friends?
ALFIE: Of course not 'just friends'.
{If kissed Alfie E02}
ALFIE: Who could forget our near-kiss earlier?
MC: Not me. The sparks were flying.
ALFIE: I think I got an electric shock.
{If smiled at Alfie E02}
ALFIE: How could I forget that steamy smile you gave me at the bean bags?
MC: Glad you didn’t forget about it.
ALFIE: A man could never forget getting lost in your beautiful eyes.
{If hugged Alfie E02}
ALFIE: I haven’t forgotten that loooooong hug we had on the bean bags.
MC: Glad I left an impression on you.
{If kissed Alfie's neck while hugging E02}
ALFIE: And don’t think that sexy little neck kiss escaped my notice either.
ALFIE: There's definitely chemistry. Chemistry that could maybe synthesise –
ALFIE: Synthesise? That’s a chemistry word, right? I’m counting it as a pun.
ALFIE: Anyway, we’ve got chemistry that could develop into a romantic connection. I think.
MC: You think? You don't sound too sure.
Alfie shrugs.
ALFIE: Early days, innit? But obviously I'll be sharing a bed with Kat tonight.
ALFIE: But nothing is set in stone yet, ya know?
ALFIE: It's only the first day and I'm not putting all my eggs in any one basket yet.
ALFIE: People in here are still just starting to show their true colours. Like your ex…
MC: I saw he pulled you for a chat earlier.
ALFIE: I like to chat to everyone. See who's who. Social butterfly, innit?
MC: Sure. But it looked like a kinda deep conversation you had with Suresh.
ALFIE: We had a solid chat, yeah.
CHOICE
①. Any goss?
②. Don't trust him
③. I don’t want to pry
①.
MC: Come on, spill the tea
ALFIE: It was just a casual chat.
MC: Why are you so interested in talking to Suresh all of a sudden?
ALFIE: Why is it a problem if I am?
MC: It could be if you're digging for dirt on me.
ALFIE: Whoa, who said anything about digging for dirt?
MC: So you’re saying I didn’t come up?
ALFIE: Well…
②.
MC: You know you can't believe everything Suresh says, right?
ALFIE: Why not?
MC: He's a cheater. Cheaters can't be trusted. Take it from me.
ALFIE: Don't worry. I took anything he said about you with a pinch of salt.
③.
MC: It’s none of my business what you talked about.
MC: I’m not assuming you guys talked about me.
—
ALFIE: We talked about a bunch of stuff. It wasn’t just about you.
MC: So you and Suresh DID talk about me!
Alfie hesitates.
ALFIE: Yeah, Suresh told me some stuff. Why?
CHOICE
①. None of my business
②. Is Suresh turning you against me?
③. I care about your opinion, not Suresh’s
①.
MC: Whatever. You boys are entitled to your private chats.
MC: It’s not my place to constantly censor people’s opinions of me.
ALFIE: I still think you're a top girl. You've got the bants, the looks, the personality.
ALFIE: But there's still loads we don't know about each other yet.
②.
MC: He better not be feeding you lies about me.
ALFIE: You don't know what he said about you.
MC: I know there are two sides to every story. Suresh could be biased when it comes to our past.
MC: He has no right to try to sabotage whatever connections I might be building here in the villa…
③.
MC: I’m not bothered by what Suresh thinks about me. I care what you think about me.
MC: Suresh is going to say what he feels. But remember he’s my ex.
MC: My past is my past. Anything you've heard, I hope it hasn't ruined any potential here and now.
ALFIE: Don't worry. I form my own opinions on people.
—
ALFIE: You and me, we've got a connection, for sure.
{If wearing gem outfit}
ALFIE: And you’re looking incredible in that outfit, my days.
ALFIE: But like I said, It's early days.
ALFIE: Who knows what will happen?
{If chose Alfie E01}
ALFIE: Sure, you originally chose to couple with me, but things change fast in here.
{If chose Eddie E01}
ALFIE: Sure, you originally chose to couple with Eddie, but things change fast in here.
{If chose Suresh E01}
ALFIE: Sure, you originally chose to couple with Suresh, but things change fast in here.
ALFIE: A day is like a week in the villa.
ALFIE: We're still all figuring each other out. Don’t you think?
CHOICE
①. Absolutely! Same page
②. I’m neutral
③. I’ve figured out I’m into you
①.
MC: Definitely agree! We’re still the getting-to-know-everyone phase.
MC: In the meantime, it’s good we keep things light and easy.
MC: After all, tomorrow’s a new day.
②.
MC: I want everyone to be open-minded and not write people off too fast.
MC: Do you and I have a clean slate moving forward?
ALFIE: I hope so!
③.
MC: I already know I’m into you.
MC: I know what I like.
MC: If you’re not completely sold on me yet, I’ll just have to get grafting tomorrow, won’t I?
ALFIE: I look forward to it.
—
ALFIE: Excited to see what’s in store for us in the morning!
——————————————————————————————————
You enter the iconic villa bedroom and cosy up in bed, alone. Suresh is outside on the day beds, ‘giving you space’.
You look around the room at the other couples snuggled up in bed together: Kat and Alfie, Dana and Eddie.
Finn stops by the foot of your bed.
FINN: You alright in that big bed all by yourself?
CHOICE
①. Heck yes! Extra space!
②. My mind is racing. I can’t relax
③. Actually, it's kinda lonely without a hot boy in here
①.
MC: I'm loving all this room.
You stretch out, luxuriantly.
FINN: Bet you wish I was taking up some of that room.
MC: Sounds like that’s YOUR wish, Finn…
MC: I'm enjoying having the bed to myself.
②.
MC: Ugh, no. I just can't turn off my brain and get comfy.
FINN: Would be a lot comfier with me in there with you.
MC: If you’re trying to help, thanks…
MC: But I just can't relax.
MC: My brain is whirling.
Finn perches on the edge of the bed.
FINN: Worried about the Alfie/Suresh situation?
MC: I'm not sure where I stand with either of them.
FINN: Try to sleep. Save sorting it for the morning.
③.
MC: All I’m missing is a sexy boy beside me.
FINN: Sounds like you need some company.
MC: Who says I was talking about you?
FINN: Of course you were. I'm VERY good company.
MC: I'm sure you are…
MC: But we're not a couple.
FINN: Yet.
He winks.
—
Finn wanders off toward his own bed, but continues chatting away to the whole room.
FINN: Don't worry, ladies. I won't be going to bed on my lonesome after tomorrow.
CHOICE
①. I'd love to get in his bed
②. I wish he’d cut the cockiness and let us sleep
①.
You lean across to the neighbouring bed and whisper to Dana.
MC: Imagine what it'd be like to curl up next to Finn?
MC: His shredded, tatted arms spooning you?
You shiver with excitement. Dana giggles.
DANA: That could be you in 24 hours, if he chooses you to couple up with tomorrow.
②.
You lean across to the neighbouring bed and whisper to Dana.
MC: I could use a break from Finn's constant cockiness.
MC: Ugh, I’m trying to sleep.
DANA: Like, we get it, Finn. You're hot and single.
MC: My brain is fried from all the drama today. I just want to sleep and wake up clear-headed tomorrow.
The bedroom lights go out and you settle in for sleep. But some rustling and whispering makes you open your eyes.
You look to your side and you can just make out Alfie and Kat in the next bed. A few tell-tale giggles suggest something more than just snuggling is going on.
KAT: Oh, Alfie.
ALFIE: You’re naughty.
You roll over. In the bed on your other side, you see the shadows of Dana and Eddie. They're spooning!
But Eddie soon nods off. A full day of flexing his pecs must have left him exhausted. He starts snoring, loud enough to drive Dana to the very edge of their bed.
You're distracted by more giggles rising from Kat and Alfie's bed.
Alfie and Kat are completely under the duvet. You see Kat's outstretched arm drop a piece of her nightwear to the floor. You can't be sure exactly what's happening, but it certainly seems like she's abandoned the no-cracking-on code.
CHOICE
①. Hide your head under a pillow
②. Get Dana's attention
③. Cough loudly
①.
You shove your head under your pillow. You don't want to see or hear any more.
②.
You roll over onto your other side. Psstt! You softly get Dana's attention.
When she blinks open an eye, you lean over and whisper.
MC: Are you seeing this?!
You nod toward Alfie and Kat's bed.
Dana sits up, looks over, and whispers back to you.
DANA: Is she breaking the pact already?!
You shrug.
Dana throws a balled-up pair of socks at Alfie and Kat's bed. You giggle.
Dana hisses at Alfie and Kat's duvet.
DANA: Oi! What happened to the pact, Kat?
Kat pops her head over the duvet, shoots you a grin, and then disappears back under it. Dana turns to you.
DANA: We're definitely grilling her about this tomorrow!
③.
You cough, loudly and on purpose. Alfie and Kat's giggles stop for a second.
But as soon as you shut your eyes, the giggles start back up again. You sigh and bury your head in your pillow.
—
Dana sneaks over to your bed and whispers.
DANA: I have to tell you! I can't sleep on it.
MC: What?
DANA: Earlier, Alfie told me that Suresh was hinting that your flirty behaviour with Alfie was just games.
DANA: Just a way to make Suresh jealous.
Before you can react to this revelation, Suresh walks into the room to get some insect repellent. You and Dana instantly stop talking.
Suresh looks over at you. There's a moment of tension. You hold your breath.
Suresh gives you a smile.
SURESH: I know I said I’d give you space, but good guys say good-night, right?
SURESH: Sleep tight. See you in your dreams.
He winks and leaves for the day beds.
DANA: Seems Suresh wants to play some games after all.
DANA: Question is: What are you going to do about it, [MC]?
NARRATOR: Kat and Alfie have already had more under the sheets action than I’ve had all year.
NARRATOR: Just kidding. I went dressed as a ghost to a fancy dress party. It counts.
NARRATOR: But will Kat and Alfie’s coupling come to a premature Finn-ish tomorrow night?
NARRATOR: Or will our crafty bombshell couple up with [MC] instead?
are they a rapper? are they a successful DJ? are they canonically famous? did they show up in two different seasons? they speak Spanish? or worked as a strip tourist guide in Barcelona? or are a history nerd? are they a fan favourite? NO???? so they ain't worth it!
gonna go ahead and warn everyone right now that the REAL suresh plot line that is Good and where he is redeemable is fully established in my brain and no matter what happens in "canon" that will always be what i'm referring to when i'm talking about him. god bless
about suresh signing up to love island after his break up with mc, i like to headcanon that he did it after finding out from a mutual friend that mc is signing up and he wanted another chance. only then. he wouldn’t do anything without her. he was literally pining for mc in his application, who does that if you’re still not over the ex 😌😌😌
YES YES YES ANON 100 PERCENT AGREE!!!
I said it in a post I made that I didn’t like that he said he was going to go to love island for the girls and a holiday like NO BE OBSESSED WITH MC!
I had this twitter/tumblr post pinned on my Pinterest I can’t find now but it said something along the lines of “fuck slowly falling in love mutual obsession or rot” and I felt that for Suresh and MC (respectfully and in a healthy of course)
Like as they got together they never were super serious or anything in the beginning but then they’re both throwing around the term boyfriend/girlfriend/partner whatever and they’re like wait a minute
so flash forward to that they’re in love but Suresh is scared (big eye roll) which leads to the cheating (I swear if the plot line for why he cheated is bad and not redeemable I’m ignoring it and making up my own). Then they break up and I can see all this time passing as he works on himself as he said in the application
i hope this man went and got therapy or something like why do you think your not worth receiving love sir
Anyways it isn’t till he feels he’s gotten to a place he is (somewhat) worth MCs time that he’ll ask around those mutual friends
And they’re like this 😬 dude I don’t know what to tell you but I hear they’re going to love island like the application was sent an approved and I can see Suresh being broody about it but then light bulb
He signs up and I know we got the vague little application but they have to do so many interviews and shit for love island and I know he walked in like oh I heard from a friend my ex is applying and I’m just here to get them back so if they’re not gonna be on the show i don’t want to go in
Like this is literally his application, he totally knew mc had applied and is here just for her!! I think he was trying to go the “cool guy” “if you moved on, I moved on” route when he told mc he was here for the girls (yeah one in particular HER)
