So this year’s season is nearly coming to an end, but the drama just keeps on coming. There are tears, smooches, and fallouts – but will the islanders be able to get over their issues?

Here’s a look back at the last few chaotic days.

Love Island's Harrison and Toni
Harrison has decided to leave the villa

Episode 39

The Harrison, Toni, and Lauren drama is still rumbling on. Meanwhile, Billykiss is being seriously disrespected in this villa, especially with Boris moving on with Emma, which is honestly wild.

Harrison chose to pick Toni again, but then said things between him and Lauren are still open. That’s a bit crazy to me. Boris and Emma are spending the night in the hideaway. It’s kind of sweet that, despite Harrison being coupled up, Cach helped him make breakfast for the girl he likes.

There’s still some tension between Harry and Emma, but I hope they don’t open that door again. They’re exes for a reason. Harry’s choice of words – saying he loved Emma – is definitely going to come back to bite him. And Helena is fuming. Meanwhile, Harry stirring the pot again.

Tonight, the couples take part in a western-themed party, and the drama is really kicking off.

The party also includes a challenge called Couple of Sorts, where Islanders must guess how the public ranks their relationships – and the answers hit hard for some. And tonight, Toni is not pleased that Harrison is out there flossing with someone else.

Cracks are already starting to show in their relationship, and it’s not looking good. At least Cache is respectful and mature.

Amidst everything, a new bombshell named Angel joins the villa.

Episode 40

This episode kicks off with Harrison and Lauren appearing to rekindle their connection.

After Ty couples up with new bombshell Angel during a dramatic re-coupling, Lauren is left single and is forced to leave the villa.

Heartbroken and blindsided, she pleads with Harrison to leave with her – but he tells her he needs time and will decide in the morning. To be honest, it feels like I’ve missed a chapter – wasn’t Harrison still with Toni just last episode? Things seem to have shifted quickly.

Meanwhile, Conor finds himself caught in an awkward situation between Shakira and Harry. It becomes clear that Shakira still has feelings for Conor, but her attention toward Harry has caused tension. The emotional fallout is intense – Shakira is in tears, and nothing has been resolved between any of them.

Meanwhile, it seems like Toni and Cach may want to rekindle things. Many people have been waiting for this moment. And now it’s curtains for Harrison, who has walked out of the villa to be with Lauren.

Episode 42

Cach and Billykiss are trying to form a romantic connection – despite the model revealing there isn’t a sexual spark between them.

Meanwhile, Harry and Shakira still seem to have chemistry. If Harry knew what he wanted, I think he would’ve gone for it. It’s also time for the Islanders to take part in the kissing challenge, and things quickly get heated.

This week’s episodes have been packed with drama, and as the finale approaches, there don’t appear to be many strong couples. Let’s see who makes it to the top.
