Mark is settling into his living space but recruits Chris and Steve to help him fix a litter box for his cats. During their visit, they talk about the reunion and Chris acknowledges that Alyssa apologized for her actions against him, but he’s not convinced it was entirely genuine. On the other hand, Steve mentions how he’s been trying to sway Noi into moving in together despite the fact that she has six months remaining on her lease. It seems that Steve and Noi have also been discussing kids and they don’t fully agree on their plans in that regard.
Chris brings up that he’s been talking with Season 11’s Olivia from New Orleans, noting that she’s coming up to meet him in Boston. Steve and Mark are excited by this development, leading Steve to suggest Mark go on a blind date with a woman named Crystal who is friends with his sister.
As for Alyssa, she meets one of her friends to visit her rescue dog and she admits that she’s been struggling with the hateful comments she’s received online since the show began premiering. She also tells her pal that she’s been talking to Season 13’s Ryan who is from Houston. It seems that their views align better than Alyssa could have imagined, but could there be something more to their friendship?

Olajuwon meets up with his former teammate and former Married at First Sight participant Jephte along with Michael to discuss their experience with the series. Jephte tells the men that he wouldn’t change a thing for himself regarding his successful relationship with his wife Shawniece. Olajuwon admits that he needs some space from Katina, revealing that they’ve barely spent time apart since the cameras left. As for Michael, he’s wondering if he needs closure with Jasmina following their difference of opinion regarding their relationship. Jephte and Olajuwon push Michael to seek out one final conversation with hopes that he can move forward.
As for Jasmina, she meets up with Katina and Alyssa for a quick catch-up where they discuss their lives right now. Katina says that she and Olajuwon are doing well and Alyssa tells the ladies about connecting with Ryan. Considering these developments, the women bring up the idea of taking a group trip to the Cape and Alyssa impulsively invites Ryan to take a trip to Boston to meet. Meanwhile, Jasmina is still trying to figure out where her relationship with Michael is and admits she’s not really sure why they stopped talking.
Domestic Life

Steve and Noi tackle a home improvement project at the apartment that they share part-time as she sometimes stays at her own place. He hopes that working on tiling the kitchen wall will convince her to move in permanently sooner, but she’s hesitant. She also wants to discuss kids and plans for the future, something that Steve believes he has a solution for. In order to test their abilities, he invites his brother to drop off his nieces for an afternoon of fun.
When they do come over, Noi and Steve are both slightly overwhelmed by the three young girls, and after a day of making bath bombs, crafting homemade pizzas, and dance parties, Noi admits she might be willing to change their baby plans. Until now, she’s been determined to have three kids, but she’s thinking of reducing that to two.
Closing the Book

Lindsey and Mark close the book on their marriage without any big issues as they meet at a lawyer’s office. As they’re initially cordial to one another, when left alone to chat, Lindsey takes the opportunity to apologize for the things she said at the bowling alley earlier this season, admitting she doesn’t really feel that negatively towards him. He thanks her for the apology and notes that he’s grown from this experience, so there’s no real bad blood between them.
First Dates

Chris meets Olivia for an igloo date and compares their experiences with his short-lived marriage in comparison to her extended season brought on by the pandemic. As their banter over the evening goes well, Chris makes the bold move of inviting Olivia to the Cape with the rest of the group. She’s happy to join in but makes it clear that she’ll only attend if it’s okay with Alyssa. Chris assures Olivia everything will be fine regarding that.
Alyssa meets Ryan at a bowling alley where they talk about their dating lives and things look promising between the pair. She tells him about her plans to move to Austin, which he seems to like, and as their conversation continues, she invites him to the Cape, something he’s eager to accept.
As for Mark, he gets some shopping help from Olajuwon to grab some nice new threads for his blind date. It’s the first date since his marriage to Lindsey ended, and Mark is definitely nervous when he goes to meet Crystal. Even with these nerves, the evening goes fairly well and Mark is encouraged by the lack of tension in their time spent together. Even better? She’s not allergic to cats.
Getaway

On the day of the getaway, married couples Katina and Olajuwon and Steve and Noi stop by a brewery on their way to the Cape, discussing their lingering challenges within their marriages. Noi officially decides that she’ll move in with Steve full-time within the next three months, much to his excitement. And Olajuwon and Katina agree that they’re going to take one night a week to make plans with their own friends and family in order to get some minor time apart.
As for Alyssa, she meets Ryan for coffee and confronts him about knowing Lindsey, telling him that she’s learned he was chatting with her. Ryan defends that their connection has only been platonic, but Alyssa sees this as a betrayal and uninvites him from attending the trip to the Cape.
Once everyone arrives at the house Alyssa immediately tells Jasmina and Katina about her experience with Ryan, and they agree that she made the right decision to leave him behind. Meanwhile, Olivia and Chris arrive and Jasmina greets Michael with a hug despite their uncertainty about where they stand in their relationship.
Chris is happy that Alyssa keeps cool around Olivia, adding a layer of ease to the situation unfolding. In the kitchen, the boys talk about how happy they are for Chris and Olivia and Alyssa offers her help. The whole house waits for Lindsey’s arrival, particularly Steve and Alyssa who aren’t on great terms with her. When she does finally walk in, Steve and Alyssa ignore Lindsey believing that not engaging is the best method.
As the group toasts in the kitchen to their getaway, Jasmina begins chatting with Olivia only to be pulled aside by Michael. The pair finally have a chat about their relationship and how it ended, ultimately, they can’t see eye to eye on who put what effort into the bond or not, but they agree to disagree over things and let bad feelings dissipate.
It’s good vibes at the dinner table too as Lindsey tells the group about her new life in California, leaving things light and fluffy in conversation, something that Olajuwon is proud of her for. As the evening carries on, Lindsey asks to speak with Steve, taking a moment to clear the air about comments she’s made in the past about his work and lack of money, admitting that she was wrong and apologizing for her actions. Steve is willing to hear her out but will need to see those changes continue moving forward and Noi agrees. Still, it’s better than nothing in terms of salvaging the friendship.
Alyssa also takes a chance to apologize to Chris for the things she said and did during their brief marriage, congratulating him on his budding relationship with Olivia. He’s happy with the apology, noting that it was more genuine than the one she delivered at the reunion. And with that, the chapter closes on Season 14’s stories for now as the married couples and newfound singles look ahead to the future. Stay tuned for the next round of relationship rollercoasters when Season 15 kicks off in July.

I understand that is all about the drama but the negativity andauwfull behavior of Alissa and Lindsey should not be part of the show. The experts say that the purpose of the show is to find the right person fora participant. Alissa and Lindsey seem not to be the right person for anyone, they find faults on good people. ABTW she is not a good person.

I agree. I didn't care for either Alissa or Lindsey. I don't look forward to another show with them involved.

Just STOP giving Alissa air time. She is NOT a good person. She's fake and horrible. With how mean she was on the show they should have just dropped her along with Lidsney.

what does "I'm a good person mean"? being a good person and thinking you are one are two different facts... Alissa is neither

Wondering who she is trying to convince? Probably herself because anyone that has been around her for 15 minutes can realize how self centered she is.

I don’t know why they didn’t drop Alissa off the show right away. She was a negative affect to the entire production and it was soo hard watching and enjoying the show when all I wanted to do was tell her was to be gone. She is the worst of the worst.

I agree, she was a total B..... to Chris, and the things she said to production about him. She doesn't deserve 1 minute of TV time!!!

Alissa was horrible to Chris and Lindsay too. But I also realize Lindsay has to bring it down a notch.

I am wondering how much these folks get paid to appear on these follow up shows...clearly Ryan and Alissa should have not been included in the follow up! Both of them are self centered and all about themselves....it was not a shock when Alissa dropped him like a bad habit and he rebuttal with " I can be friends with who ever I want"...I wonder do they do psych testing on these folks....Jasmina has a emotional issue and until she addresses it will continue down this path of singlehood...being attractive is not the full package....I hope they ( Alissa and Ryan) do not come back on this show...Glad that Dr. Viviana is leaving and she needs to take the other two with her...Experts they are not!

I agree with you about Ryan and Alissa not needing to be included.
But I did enjoy seeing her jealousy towards Chris & Olivia!
I think her being upset about Ryan being friends with Lindsay just made her look even worse.

You are attacking three people in their field who are indeed experts. Please be mindful of that. Just because you don't care for them doesn't make them any less so. In your line of work I'm sure you are good at what you do. Not everyone will feel the same based on an action or some words you may have taken or used towards someone. Please be mindful of that. Nothing wrong with not liking what they say or how they go about their business. To attack them is on a whole different level. Be respectful is all I'm suggesting.

Look at the pot calling the kettle black! Do you know my profession? unless you do please mind your business and attack where your opinion or view is appreciated it is not here! We live in a country where we can state our opinions and views if you don't like mine keep scrolling...no one has time for folks feelings or feeling some kind of way when the truth is presented...be mindful how you come for folks...I was nice here next time I might not be...

I happen to agree with you about their expertise, but no one "came for you." BK's response was articulate and civil, whereas you are extremely defensive for no apparent reason. BTW you don't have to tell us 15 different ways that's it's your opinion. We already know that.

Their track record thus far suggests they really aren't experts. Furthermore, even when it's painfully obvious two people shouldn't be together, they do everything possible to pressure them into staying together, which suggests they either aren't that great at their jobs, or they're doing it strictly for TV, and neither option speaks well of them.

Alissa's apology to Chris was an act!! Did you see her face when everyone was in a group? She had a sour face looking at Christ and Olivia, then puts on the act later of an apology to Chris. The fact that the judges couldn't pick up on Lindseys's bullying and ego and Alissa's narcissist behavior shows they are not good judges, just good actors. This show is lucky they had 2 couples work out. The ones that didn't make it have gone through trauma, like Chris and Mark, so the show is really all about putting on a ratings war!ancyw

Allysa is not part of the group neither is chris tho I do like him. She acted like she was in it till the end like everyone else and is entitled to share in the perks. She's a hypocrite telling Ryan he betrayed her when that is what she did to Chris and the process. She should quit trying to be relevant with the others who stuck it out.

Why is Alyssa still on the show? She is not deserving of air time or second chances. Viewers are definitely not interested in seeing her.

Alissa didn't even give Chris a chance. Chris seems to be a great catch. Feel a sorry for the man that ends up with Alissa, as she is a spoiled, self-centered brat! Just what I saw in her, in every episode. If there is a guy for her in the future, he will end up miserable life with her I am sure. Anything, that she is hearing through these posts she deserves. She wouldn't even give Chris a chance to find out what she was thinking. She was absolutely rude to him throughout the time they were together on ther show. Shame on you Alissa; he was never mean to you! You on the other hand were so mean to him! Chris went in with the right intentions and Alissa did not. If you did, you would have at least sat down and talked to him. He was alone on his wedding day. Wondering 🤔 why you would not speak to him and it went on way to long. Chris has more patience then I would have.

Alyssa definitely has no right to be there cuz she caused the divorce and under the circumstances Chris has all the right should be there after what he has been put through been put through

I am so sick of the drama. Alyssa, we will never believe that you are a nice person.

Yes, I totally agree, Alyssa was not a nice person and Lindsey was just to over the top for me...I finally couldn't take anymore of them and just stop watching the season altogether!

I really thought Ryan and Alyssa were made for each other. I bet they are back together unless Alyssa really can never forgive.
Chris and Olivia look like a perfect match also. Great to see! I think most enjoyed the personalities of all. It showed how " nice" people can really screw up everything and how professional advice really does help.

O
Ryan was on You Tube recently and gave an update regarding his connection with Alyssa...she DM him first...then got pissed when he was chatting with Lindsey...if you ask me both these women have issues...one is mean spirited and the other is self centered...the world is full of enough privilege folks these two take the cake!!!
