Taking a break from the fun, Molly opens up to Zach: "I am very, very happy. Everyday I'm just getting more and more closed. I don't see anything changing right now except everything getting stronger."

Zach: "You've completely took me by surprise." It comes after a game of Never Have I Ever saw Tyrique asking: "Never Have I Ever cheated on someone."

When Zach drinks in response to Tyrique's question, Jess and Ella are quick to respond. Jess says: "Once a cheat, always a cheat, Zachariah. A leopard doesn't change its spots, Zachariah."

Ella remarks: "If someone can justify cheating, who is to say that they won't cheat again?"
