Summary
Starting straight away to the cliffhanger from last chapter, Ethan LOVES me and it was barely a week until Liam came back, and there is a new bouquet prop , nice! So of course I choose between talking with either of them or break the awkward tension. Choosing the latter of course makes both guys a little disappointed but I charmed Liam back. Liam so wants MC to come to Belize with him, and this life altering decision is made. But then Ethan clarifies how he loves me, and is VERY aware how conveniently he realized this after all the other LIs are introduced, but now Ethan is Now All In. I made the choice of telling him that he strung MC and Sydney along, which honestly in real life I never thought about since he was the least priority. He is really pushing that MC is what his heart tells him, despite keeping the secret of the affair from him initially. Is he pulling the I might love you more than you me card? (Honestly this is my guilty pleasure of a trope but it’s kinda used disingenuously here). Point is he is 100% in love! Oh boy, kinda hard to say yes when I’m technically committed to another guy’s long term plan, I really don’t know they are both rich guys with hearts of gold. I ended up using the I need more time card, gah!
Anyways, back to girl things. Isabelle is back to normal, I think, teasing about the love drama. And she is super excited for the Perfect Bachelorette party MC would plan, and I assume rightly she wants it big and bold, quite literally as she wants it on Sunday Fun-day. She said it would be co-ed with Viper, kind of ruining the point of a bachelorette party but okay.
So next scene shows the gang and random people who know Viper and Isa planning said bash. We’re going to Coney Island, babes, complete with couple-themed rides at night. And okay, the actual party starts in an hour. Wow, is MC actually taking initiative and not screw up because of me? But actually, Zoe gives the grim reminder that Isa expects a dress code. Girls with new hairstyles agree. Seriously it would have been nice to have this reminder in the first place Episode! You’re admitting that one of the main characters is a party snob. Question, if she wanted to coordinate ideas for the party, why did she only tell Viper about her vision boards and not MC? So I guess the standard tiara and sash doesn’t apply?
Spoilers: they’re rompers and romphims and MC in a freaking flower crown. And that moment when a choice costs 20 and you just have 19? Sucking it like the cheapskate and in-game bummer I am, MC calls it off. Everyone in the room is upset, even the albino guy in the tuxedo of all things.
But hey, new backgrounds of the theme park is awesome. Isa was a bit salty on her disappointment (at this point, Isa, you could plan your own…), but she hopes highly of MC to coordinate the bridal party outfits. And like the Dating Game, three eligible bachelors stand quite beside MC including Austin for some reason. I guess through Ethan. Does anyone remember if Isa and Zoe have jobs? Anyways, make it four as Noah texts (or snaps?) MC thinking of her. I’ve actually almost choked, or whatever that gesture is. Quit reminding me of my convoluted pentagon!
Luckily, Isa pulled me aside of some much needed although short girl talk, and finally I get to see MC’s thoughts about each guy, excluding Noah. Something I honestly needed actually, along with that ‘Oh this is getting good’ animation. And surprisingly, MC had nothing bad enough to say about Austin, maybe because earlier I chose to mention how I was interested in Austin, but let’s avoid that. Isa meanwhile is strangely stressed from wedding planning, but essentially she gives the push on making my decision soon, delightfully reminding me that I don’t need to think about the long-term. I thought this implied that the end of Love Life would come, but no she was talking about as a date later tonight. So then I chose… Liam. I don’t know, I’m at a romance drought and I just want to find an oasis somewhere, even if it would be a mirage. Good thing there’s finally a nice subtle surprised emote.
Side-note, I was curious to know what happens if I chose Noah, would he actually be in the party, because either way choosing the others he would not be there!
Liam says sappy stuff about whatever I choose he’ll still like MC, and the Carnival Barker is wearing the same tux top as the albino fellow. But seriously, I need gems to use Lover’s Hour with Liam, I think it’s kinda a given. But no, we return to find the gang after choosing no. You know was though, Isa and Viper talking about wedding plans. Point is, they are going to elope with the rest to Las Vegas.
Stay tuned for the periodic release of my rambles! This being weirdly my longest yet.
