It’s week two for the four couples and 24 singles on “Temptation Island,” and temptation is certainly getting the best of some!
Wednesday night’s episode saw a whole bunch of crazy, sexy -ish go down

This episode entailed A LOT.
The couples parted ways to begin the episode and there was no shortage of tears. But just as soon as they left one another, each group of couples were given a nice warm welcome for the 12 single bachelors and 12 single females.
Gillian Lieberman’s tears dried up rather quickly.
Episode two also involved the couples getting to choose one single to accompany them for a first date, as well as, the first bonfire.
So, let’s start from the beginning, shall we?
Gillian is still torn about whether or not she wants to be single or stay in a relationship with Edgar De Santiago. When she’s with him, she’s all about Edgar, but when he goes to his side of the island, her eyes and heart start wandering.
As for Ash Lamiroult and Hania Stocker, the idea of an open relationship still doesn’t sit well with Ash.
Ash expressed that she’s worried Hania will “forget about me” while she’s gone and not right in front of his face.
However, while talking to single, Taylor Patrick, she finds herself getting to truly act like her “weird” self.
During a confessional she said, “I feel my flame reignite,” when talking about being around Taylor.
Iris Jardiel hasn’t seen too much air time and she’s definitely not made any instant connections with any of the singles.
She’s still very much focused on her boyfriend, Luke Wechselberger, and what he could be doing, which is A LOT.
And by A LOT, I mean he’s doing everything but worrying about Iris.
I promise we’ll get there.
Finally, Lascelles Lagares and Ashley Rodriguez are allowing themselves to enjoy themselves in their respective homes on different sides of the island, but Lascelles is giving off “player vibes” to some of the singles.
Prior to the first date day, the couples and singles threw massive house parties… in their respective abodes of course!
The single ladies really pulled out all the stops for their “Ignite You Sensations” party, which involved blindfolds, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, syrup, and very many “sticky situations.”
Multiple lap dances were given, body licking in erogenous zones was going on and a group shower, which looked like a scene out of an adult film took place too.
But don’t worry, they kept their swimsuits on… from what was shown on TV.
Surprisingly, during their wild night, none of the guys did any kissing or rounding any bases with the single women.
Then there was the animal-style party going down at the women’s house on the other side of the island.
The bachelors and women dressed up as their favorite exotic animal and twerking ensued.
Ash and Taylor stepped away from the crowd and got a bit more intimate. After spilling her heart out about Hania and his desire to have an open relationship, she decided to have a sleepover with Taylor.
BUT, but, but they built a pillow wall between them.
It kind of worked.
Ash and Taylor ended up MAKING OUT for a long time!
If you forgot, Taylor is a personal trainer, which Ash is very drawn to.
“I’m very physically attracted to Taylor, his body is very different from Hania’s,” Ash admitted.
After the parties came the first dates.
The guys took their singles jet-skiing while the girls took their singles paragliding.
Both are activities that require a lot of trust in your partner.
Luke took Madelyn “Juicy” Rusinyak on a first date, while Iris took George Maxey out.
Hania asked Kryslyn Renee out, and Ash chose Taylor as her date, for obvious reasons.
Lascelles asked Trace to go jet-skiing and Ashley took Mike Melnick paragliding.
Edgar and Marissa Rodriguez went out for the first time, and Gillian asked Tommy to take the leap with her on the first date.
Most of the dates went off without a hitch; however, there were a few bumps along the way.
Luke explained that he felt he could be an “open book” around Juicy, which is something he hasn’t been able to do with Iris.
He noted that Juicy gives him reassurance when he’s opening up emotionally.
Hania sported a Speedo on his first date with Krsylyn, which, to each his own.
Ashley felt a connection to Mike on party night, but soon realized he may not be the guy for. her.
Mike used multiple phony pick-up lines and basically told her, “Life is a game, so yeah, I’m playing games.”
Lascelles’ date, Trace, didn’t appreciate how he struck up a flirty conversation with Alexa Coppola in front of her.
“I’ve been picking up small player vibes,” Trace told Lascelles.
And then there was the bonfire.
Luke, Edgar, Hania, and Lascelles were the first group to visit the bonfire.
At the bonfire, each person is shown a clip of their significant other’s behavior.
Edgar sees that Gillian is contemplating taking off her promise ring which causes him to cry.
He then reveals that prior to coming to ‘TI,’ Gillian was texting her ex-boyfriend and sending “explicit messages.”
During the bonfire, Luke reveals that he doesn’t feel heard by Iris, which has led him to his deep connection with Juicy.
Next week viewers will get to see Hania and Lascelles react to their S-Os behavior, as well as the ladies attending their first bonfire.
Tune in next week on Wednesday, March 30 on USA network at 10PM ET / 7PM PT!
