Ricky was adorable and blatantly crushed his throat. Gina asks if he’s okay. Even EJ noticed that Ricky was showing his feelings about Gina. Ricky. Ricky is quick to save and says it’s just the polyester he’s wearing. “Need some air, Richard?” EJ asked. Cue the “she knows” meme we’ve all seen TikTok.

As the dance begins, Madison and Maddox catch up in the cabin. Maddox admits she was clingy and clingy last summer. Madison believes she “let go too quickly”. Madison revealed that Jet was “quite emotional” on the phone and thought he could use a friend. Hey, Maddox.

Carlos happily hands Ashlyn a Pride flag pin. “Welcome to the community,” he told her. EJ started asking Carlos about his lines and introduced the shirtless tradition. Carlos is still hesitant and doesn’t want to be forced. “We don’t do it here. Whatever makes you happy, okay? ” said EJ.

Suddenly, Seb appeared! Seb and Carlos share a sweet reunion kiss. Seb is beyond precious. He dresses like a grandpa. When Carlos told him the theme was the 70s, he thought it meant dressing like someone in their 70s.

Gina asks EJ to dance, but he brushes her off to see more prompts. There is look between Ricky and Gina again. EJ started questioning Kourtney and she balked. Her anxiety took over.

Gina continued to wait patiently for her last dance with EJ. She looked around for him and spotted Ricky, who was looking at her. He tries to make her laugh, but she’s just upset because EJ let her down. She went to find him backstage. She told him he missed the last dance. He tried to undo his mistake, but Gina was accomplished.

“We had two completely different nights and I was starting to think we had two completely different summers,” Gina told EJ. She realized he had all the experiences she had. she wants to be with him. He missed Woman in the Woods and didn’t participate in the team roster quest. EJ revealed that both are related to Ricky.

“This isn’t about Ricky,” Gina said. EJ replied, “I know there’s history there.” He continued to not listen to Gina. “I tried to create a future with friend.“She told him. He emphasized that if everything goes well with the musical probably everything will be different.

“I think the problem is that the present is probably not good enough for me,” admitted Gina. “Probably all I ever knew. And maybe, I went to dance solo, and maybe I… I don’t know EJ maybe I should leave solo too. “

She pointed out that they hadn’t really been together all summer. If it’s a sign for the future, she wants to “leave it forward”. Gina didn’t want to be pushed aside anymore.

“I can’t be a can anymore, EJ. Not now and not later,” she continued. While EJ was a nice guy, it ended. Gina and EJ broke up. “Can it really end if it never really gets a chance to begin?” she replies. Serious, Sofia Wylie is a force to be reckoned with. Give her every single award!

The parting moment is interrupted by Seb, who has just learned EJ’s real name is Elton John. Gina left EJ and ran to the dance in tears. Ricky sees an emotional Gina as he walks to the coat closet. He went to check on her, as he always did.

Kourtney & Carlos Conquer Their Fears

Kourtney returns to her chalet and sings her prayer. Ashlyn sat down with her and asked if something was going on. Kourtney was nervous about opening night. She wondered if Ashlyn should take her place. “I’m fine… You’re better,” Ashlyn told Kourtney.

Maddox and Gina entered. “I think I just broke up with EJ,” Gina said in the room. Don’t make her start. Ashlyn, noticing that everyone is in a strange space, asks Kourtney, “May I borrow your prayer?” All come together to sing. Kourtney is not alone. She has never. Empowered by her own strength and the strength of her friends, she decided to face her fear and climb the wall.

Ricky finds EJ in their cabin. Both said their night was “confusing”. Carlos decided that he wanted to carry out the shirtless tradition of the ice bucket and conquer his fears. Jet, Ricky, EJ and Carlos all do it together. As this was happening, Kourtney had reached the top of the climbing wall. Gina, Maddox and Ashlyn cheer her on. Ashlyn told Maddox, that’s all Maddox wanted to hear.

Carlos calls Ricky his “hero” for encouraging him to carry out the shirtless tradition. Being called a hero is just what Ricky needs to tick something else off his party list.

Gina goes back to her chalet alone and runs into Ricky. “What were you going to tell me earlier?” Gina asked. Ricky begins to explain that he said something to Carlos that Channing caught on camera.

Ricky was about to clean up when EJ passed by. When EJ didn’t come to see them, Ricky asked if anything happened tonight. “We broke up tonight,” Gina admitted. Ricky was stunned. Gina refuses to let Ricky leave the story, but he doesn’t feel like this is the right time to confess. Gina knows that Ricky is not telling her the truth. You can tell she doesn’t want to hope for Ricky. But let’s face it – Ricky was always for Gina.

EJ and Maddox met, and she spent her night with Madison. EJ asked if any new girls caught her eye this summer. As Ashlyn passed by, EJ had the answer. But that wasn’t the real reason for this late-night meeting. Maddox revealed that she received a tip that Channing was “going to be on the full reality show” and “stir up all kinds of trouble” to make sure that opening night was a wreck. EJ’s night just got a whole lot worse.
