Last night’s episode of Love Island was the most dramatic yet.
The end of the chaotic Casa Amor week saw islanders recouple in ways that shook the villa and the outside world alike, with the fallout of Liam’s indiscretions causing Millie to be in tears and Jake smirking after encouraging the boys to pursue other girls being just two of the most egregious moments.
Viewers reacted to the various subplots as they reeled from the episode.
Many praised Lillie, who Liam had kissed behind Millie’s back while he was in Casa Amor, for returning to the main villa to tell Millie everything:

Large up the producers for giving Lillie the mic because Liam would have fully gotten away with it. Dastardly #loveIsland— ade onibada (@ade onibada) 1627677892
People found Liam’s reaction to Lillie’s revelations frustrating, as he downplayed events in Casa Amor and implied he had not been as interested in her as it appeared to viewers:

RUN THE TAPES. Liam is lying with such ease. Actually play the tweets and headline game NOW. #LoveIsland— ade onibada (@ade onibada) 1627677769
“She kissed me”… Liam, you’ll pay for your crimes. Keep lying #loveisland— vic (@vic) 1627677782
The way men can LIE you know Millie’s gonna be able to watch the same episodes we’ve been watching once she leaves the villa??? #LoveIsland— Jason Okundaye (@Jason Okundaye) 1627677830
Others remained disappointed that Faye and Teddy looked set to breakup, after producers sent the girls a misleading postcard that gave the false impression that Teddy had moved on with another girl while away from Faye, leading her to reactively recouple with new boy Sam:

And people were angry with Jake, who viewers suspect encouraged the other boys to cheat while in Casa Amor so he would look like the ‘nice guy’ and win the show:
LOOK AT JAKE SMIRKING. WE CANNOT LET THIS DEVILISH WITCH WIN THE SHOW. HIS PLAN WORKED. HE CANNOT WIN. #loveisland https://t.co/0etu8c9014— Murad Merali (@Murad Merali) 1627677298
