Summary
Brienne is still convinced that the entire affair is a joke on her. Surely there is a real bride somewhere in the castle, who will be brought out once the crowd has had a good laugh at the cow in a satin gown. When she said as much to her intended, he said it was surely a joke on them both. Let them laugh, he said. What’s funnier is that Queen Daenerys made the match in the first place – she must have thought them intolerable to one another. The Beauty and the Kingslayer. Surely Brienne could see the humor in it?

Summary
Abby knows she’s not finding love on Love Island. It’s six weeks. She’s here to find a career: the seed money to start her own PR firm and the (hopefully) massive following that’ll have future clients salivating to have. And, of course, have a little fun while she does it.
She will not get stuck in her first couple, but America will know her as discerningly loyal. The key, she figured, was going to be finding someone smart enough (or dopey enough, she supposed) to do this with her. He’ll need to be devastating and charming, without being swarmy. He’ll need to -
Someone taps on the tinted window. It’s show time.
---------
Where Mel's entrance into Casa Amor throws a wrench into Abby's (almost) flawless plan to win Love Island.

Summary
“Because everything is better in Pittsburgh.”
These days, people described her as a "chill girl." A girl who didn’t cause trouble. The girl-next-door prototype. The kind who wears her heart on her sleeve.
Honestly, she didn’t see herself as a chill girl. She was anything but that. People only thought that because they didn’t see Mel swallowing her emotions and letting them build up inside until her guts started to ache.
It was her guts that led her to that bar after a hellish, chaotic shift. Her stomach churned as she knocked back a shot of tequila and watched Samira Mohan—her best friend—leave the party with Frank Langdon, who, very likely, was the love of Mel’s life.

Summary
To understand social interactions better, Mel makes a spreadsheet cataloging her co-workers responses. She incorporates aspects of others' personalities into her own, noting how they respond. The data is useful and comprehensive and Mel is satisfied with the experiment, so she stops.
Until Frank Langdon shows back up and punches a big hole in her carefully cultivated data.

Summary
Trinity tilted her head to the side with a curious look at Mel. She did this sometimes when she realized there was some fundamental knowledge about social rules that Mel didn’t have. It happened more often than Mel would’ve liked. “That’s kind of why people flirt, Mel. To figure out if someone likes you back without having to say it outright.”
“Oh.”
Trinity leaned closer to Mel with a mischievous grin. “Is there someone you’d like to test the waters with?”
—
OR: Mel decides to try flirting with Frank.
