Love Island USA season 7 returned with a new episode on July 1, 2025. The segment showed the islanders answering their co-stars' questions, some of which led to heated altercations.

Nic and Cierra had been growing close over the past few episodes. Their connection appeared to deepen after they got more physically intimate. But in episode 18, the couple hit a rough patch. Though they had grown close, both remained curious about the new Islanders, especially Andreina, who turned a few heads upon arrival.
