Tonight on Paradise: breakups, a double date, and new faces.
Welcome back to another sunny day in Paradise!
Right from the get-go, the vibes at the cocktail party are very Not Okay.

All of these are your own choices and your own decisions.
He is his own undoing."
On the opposite side of the beach, Jacob is living his best life.
Happy birthday, Genevieve!.ABC
Neither of them, however, pull out quite the stops like Kira.
Jacob, of course, loves it (“Jane!")
When Tarzan and Jane head back to the bar, the Paradisians react to Kira’s outfit change.

As Brandon lovingly puts it: “Kira looked like a lettuce wrap.”
Meanwhile, Justin has found himself caught in a love triangle between Genevieve and Victoria after Monday’s date.
The sweet gesture doesn’t help the sour conversation they have about their relationship.

Essentially: Genevieve is mad Justin went out with Victoria and calls him “defensive.”
Justin complains about her being upset that he’s exploring “other options.”
But Victoria isn’t putting all of her eggs in one basket either.

And just like that, the cocktail party is over.
The very first rose ceremony of the season starts out pretty standard.
Then, Jacob steps up to the stand.

As it turns out, that isnottrue because Tarzan picks the “iconic” Lace instead.
For all of their arguing earlier in the evening, Justin gives his rose to Genevieve.
Then, in the craziest twist thus far, Johnny picks up a rose and choses… Victoria!

With one rose left, Romeo steps up and gives his rose to Jill.
“Jill, I want to start off by apologizing for how I treated you this week.
I really, really hurt you,” he says.
Rodney and Jill have a chat.ABC
“Yes, because I know that nothing in Paradise is guaranteed.”
At the end of the night, Kira, Hunter, and Hailey are officially sent home.
“Well at least now I get air conditioning,” she jokes.
Teddi and Andrew break up.
“So who’s laughing now?”
The next morning, everyone is acting like on solid terms… unless you’re Romeo and Jill.
After receiving Justin’s rose last night, Genevieve appears to have gotten the validation she needed.
Rodney is shocked by Teddi’s departure.ABC
It seems like things might be getting on track for them, until… With Aaron’s arrival on the beach, all eyes are immediately on Genevieve and Shanae.
Now, some context is needed here for those who haven’t seen Clayton’s season ofThe Bachelor.
Ultimately, Shanae was sent home.
There’s no attraction thus far, but I’m not saying it couldn’t get there.”
“But a delicious pickle.”
Speaking of food, Jacob is single handedly munching on an entire pineapple core nearby.
And, honestly, good for him.
“This is so cursed!”
Lace speaks for all of us when she says, “I’m here for it.
Give me some tea and some popcorn and I’m good.”
But, in a twist, the double date isn’t really cursed.
In fact, it’s kind of fun?

It’s a lot.
Aaron and Genevieve are hitting it off.
She tells him that he makes her feel “special and seen” and they end up making out.
Similarly, Shanae and James are equally into each other.
And isn’t that what we’re all looking for, really?
“There’s just so many emotions,” she says.
“Dating’s scary!”
Logan isn’t doing much better.
The poor guy is moping around the beach and eating parfait bowls.
Justin can be also seen sadly sleeping through the day.
Shocking absolutely no one, Romeo and Jillstillaren’t doing well.
“The ship has sailed and it’s reaching the Middle East by now.”
Think hip, cool, relationship lifeguards.
During their conversation, Teddi admits that Andrew may like her more than she likes him.
This is a huge bummer because, so far, the pair have been pretty darn cute together.
“Yes!Finally, she gets a good man,” Jacob jokes.
Romeo does not look impressed.
It’s his talk with Teddi, however, that unintentionally causes the woman to spiral.
“I just feel so bad because I feel like he’s so amazing.”
“Here’s the thing Teddi, we gave it our shot,” he says.
“I’m not mad at that.
I wouldn’t take back any of the time we had.
But this is your choice.”
And thus we have our first officialParadisebreak up.
She surprisingly decides to quietly pack up her bags and leaves the beach without telling anyone even Andrew.
Serene then tells Andrew who, understandably, does not take her Irish goodbye well.
“I really botched that, dude,” Andrew tearfully tells Michael.
“It’s just not fair.
She left, dude!”
His shocked reaction upon learning that she’s gone is the biggest mood of the entire episode.
