Want the official inside scoop on MAFS, unfiltered and unseen? Watch After The Dinner Party here.
We jump straight back into the partner swap before new tasks cause fresh drama. Duh!
Partner swap
Alissa is bloody stoked to be partnered with Steve-o because 1. she won't have to talk about those damn screenshots and 2. as Rachel's bestie, she's primed to give some great advice!
She tells him to take the damn lead, while he can see just how much David cares for and respects her.
What a wholesome outing, but the same can't be said for poor David's.
He returns to their apartment shellshocked after his afternoon with Bec.
Relatable. (Nine)
Despite promising Alissa he wouldn't discuss the screenshots of Bec and Gia's vile text message exchanged about them, he found himself in a sticky situation when Bec brought them up.
Alissa's upset because she wanted to confront Bec herself.
"I actually feel like an idiot, this whole experiment I've been fooled so many times," she says, breaking down.

Alissa is upset following David's lunch with Bec
Danny returns after his lovely solo afternoon in Bondi, where he walked along the beach and did not receive any feedback at all because Gia bailed.
Speaking of Gia, Bec's still ruminating on how much she can't stand her, especially now Alissa and David have seen the screenshots.
That deflection doesn't really fly with Danny, who points out there would be nothing for Gia to share if Bec hadn't sent them in the first place.
EXCLUSIVE: Danny airs his true feelings after Bec's 'I love you' bombshell
Before long, Bec's sobbing to a producer. About Gia, the Retreat drama, telling Danny she loves him ... it's a lot.
"I feel like a fool," she cries.
Awwwwkward. (Nine)
After getting solid advice from Filip, Sam has returned ready to tell Chris he wants more of a voice about how their future together could look.
Buuuut Chris thinks it's a "ridiculous" issue.

Chris reacts to Sam's 'ridiculous' concerns
The following morning, Chris, a self-described empath, is deeply offended Sam questioned his empathy, and responds with the exact same unempathetic behaviour.
This is going well!
I'm getting Mel and Luke flashbacks and it HURTS. (Nine)
Feedback Week tasks
With the partner swaps having caused sufficient chaos, it's time for something a little more wholesome.
Maybe.
At least, that's what shots of Rachel and Steven and Stella and Filip excitedly waving the Honesty Box would lead us to believe.
Unsurprisingly, they come out unscathed.

Steven says he's 'falling' for Rachel
Bec and Danny, however ...
He jokes his way through the questions about their future, while Bec wants him to take it more seriously.
EXCLUSIVE: Bec reveals devastating end to her engagement in unseen audition tape
Then comes a diabolical question and an even more diabolical answer.
"Do you think you will fall in love with me and why?" she asks.
"I'd assume I will yeah. Am I there yet? No. Do I think it's going to get there? Probably," Danny replies.
Coolcoolcool. (Nine)
Danny knows he's screwed up, so it's time for a big romantic gesture.
He claims to be Romeo reincarnate, which is a crazy thing for the man who rapidly blinked in response to an "I love you" just days ago to say.
Anyway, all it takes is a few candles, Post-its and using the wrong "your" for Bec to feel like Juliet. The Shakespeare one, not the one who called her a freak.

Rachel and Steven receive an anonymous letter
Not only that, but they gift them a lipstick – thankfully, an actual lipstick, not something else that looks a lot like one – for Steven to wear as he gives Rachel 20 bright red kisses.
"Kind of wish it was a vibrator now," he jokes.
The FEAR in his eyes. (Nine)
EXCLUSIVE: Bec reveals secret lunch where Gia, Juliette, Rebecca and Mel plotted to 'bring her down'
Gia and Scott must write to Alissa and David, but Gia's still in a bad mood and they bicker their way through.
Then when it's finally delivered, Alissa and David are far from impressed.
Turns out, Gia and Scott's task for them is to write more letters about this letter.
She's not here for this letter-ception. (Nine)
They're disappointed, with David wondering if someone can get Joel's teddy on the line to share something with a little more substance.
"May as well use this as toilet paper," Alissa cackles.

Alissa and David are confused by anonymous letter
Meanwhile, Captain Steven has really taken their advice on board, taking the reins by making Rachel the most horrifying plate of nachos known to mankind.
She loves it. No, not the terrifying plate of microwaved cheese, but the gesture behind it.
JAIL. (Nine)
Gia's vibe all week has been bad.
Like, refuse to do tasks and stare out the window while listening to Coldplay bad:
Never forget. (Nine)
The arrival of her and Scott's anonymous feedback letter (from Stella and Filip) is not helping.
The letter commends them on a solid foundation but wonders if external drama has taken its toll.

Gia rejects the feedback letter from Stella and Filip
It suggests Gia remove herself from all group chats and they take 10 days of celibacy to focus on an emotional connection.
Okay, sure. That all seems pretty fair to me ... oh.
Guess not! (Nine)
EXCLUSIVE: Scott reveals private demands Gia made when cameras stopped rolling
Scott is disappointed that Gia's so unresponsive to feedback, but he's far too scared to tell her in case she overreacts.
Much like she does just hours later, as she decides she wants to go.
She and Scott pack their bags and leave their apartment, as Alissa watches on from her balcony.
See ya? (Nine)
What a fun coincidence!
For a moment Alissa is "lost for words" but she soon tells us she thinks them leaving is a cop-out – and not just because she has big plans to confront Gia and Bec at tomorrow's Dinner Party.

Gia and Scott pack their bags and leave
But yes, that is coming. She's done with being a pawn and is ready to let them all know.
