Love Island Season 7 Episode 25 delivered one of the most emotionally turbulent installments yet, shaking the foundation of several islanders’ connections as the aftermath of Casa Amor began to truly sink in. At the center of it all was the Heart Rate Challenge—an iconic Love Island test of attraction that often brings more drama than clarity. This time was no different. While meant to be flirty and fun, the challenge unearthed hidden feelings, unresolved tensions, and ultimately left several couples questioning their loyalty.
One of the most noticeable cracks formed between Chelley Bissainthe and Ace Greene. Once a promising pair, the challenge stirred uncomfortable energy between them, making it clear that something deeper was off. Chelley, feeling blindsided not just by Ace’s reaction but also by her friend Huda Mustafa’s involvement in the drama, pulled back entirely. She decided she needed space from Huda, who’s already been under public scrutiny for her recent behavior. Huda, for her part, seems to be doubling down on her connection with Chris Seeley, even as fans grow increasingly skeptical of her intentions.
Meanwhile, not all was lost. In one of the episode’s few moments of clarity and peace, Nic Vansteenberghe and Cierra Ortega took a step back from the villa chaos to go on a heartfelt date. Away from the noise, they were able to reconnect and reestablish their intentions, choosing to recommit to each other. Their conversation, filled with emotional honesty, offered a rare moment of calm and romantic hopefulness in an otherwise emotionally heavy episode.
Elsewhere, tensions flared among the remaining Bombshells. The ripple effects of the challenge seemed to impact almost everyone, and the villa felt more divided than ever. Some islanders began to seriously question whether their current connections could last beyond the villa walls, while others made it clear they still had exploring to do—sending mixed signals and reopening doors that were once thought closed.
As viewers brace for Episode 26, there’s an unshakable sense that the real emotional fallout is just beginning. The chaos of Casa Amor may be over, but the consequences are just starting to unfold.
