Having previously left fans furious with a frustrating cliffhanger, Love Island bosses had some making up to do as the recoupling continued on Friday.
But after airing what might have been the most dramatic post-Casa Amor episode ever, we think they might be forgiven.
Social media was awash with reaction as the boys returned from the second villa and viewers discovered who had decided to stay loyal to their original partner, and who had strayed.
Liam Reardon returned to reunite with Millie Court, despite kissing Lillie Haynes and sharing a bed with her.
However, there was no happy ending for the couple, as Lillie was brought into the main villa and soon gave her side of the story.
The moment of truth for Millie and Liam 😲 #LoveIslandpic.twitter.com/kKklrTh6nc

Fans couldn’t get enough of Lillie exposing what actually happened at Casa Amor
Large up the producers for giving Lillie the mic because Liam would have fully gotten away with it. Dastardly #loveIsland

LILLIE KNOWS THE ASSIGNMENT. This is jaw-droppingly good reality TV. Poor Millie. #LoveIsland

It’s been an hour and I’ve watched this clip about 50 times now. The way Lillie came in to start fire. One of the best Casa Amor recouplings #LoveIslandpic.twitter.com/4JPhYapwEq

And they were absolutely not here for Liam trying to cover his tracks
Liam is such a LIAR they need to RUN THE GOD DAMN TAPES. What is this Horrible Histories retelling of the story?#loveisland

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

Not Liam bare-faced lying to Millie like there isn’t witnesses 🥴🥴 #LoveIsland
— LJ Honey (@dayswithlay) July 30, 2021
I am more angry at Liam for coming back single and LYING to Millie than I would be if he’d come back with Lillie #LoveIsland

The way Kaz Kamwi dealt with Tyler Cruickshank after he recoupled won high praise

People are still furious at producers for stitching Teddy Soares up with that postcard, especially as it meant Faye Winter then recoupled with Sam Jackson
I'm really hurt w/ Faye's recoupling because she did so with the incorrect information. Teddy is so confused. This plot twist is giving me romantic tragedy #LoveIsland
— Tobí Rachel (@TobiRachel_) July 30, 2021
Teddy is such a genuine kind guy comforting Faye after the recoupling the producers really did them dirty #LoveIslandpic.twitter.com/KoF42rS3TD

Teddy coming back alone after sleeping outside and getting that reaction is so cruel. Feel so bad for him right now. This stitch up isn’t fair. Storylines over feelings it seems. #LoveIsland

And everyone is willing them to get back together so we can give them what they deserve
Faye & Teddy are winning this. They deserve it too. I really do think this has been a true development course for the both of them #LoveIsland

faye and teddy deserve £50k just as compensation #loveislandpic.twitter.com/Lcs1N44bup

And at the end of the episode, those who complained the series had been slow compared to previous ones reassessed their opinions
Me: this series of Love Island is quite slow :/
