The latest episode of Love Island USA Season 4, aired on August 23, focused on Isaiah and Sydney's romantic date.

After making Sydney cry in the previous episode, Isaiah decided to make their relationship exclusive. He asked fellow islanders to help him organize the perfect date for Sydney. The co-stars were so invested in helping the lovebirds that nobody thought of throwing a birthday party for Mackenzie.

As viewers saw Mackenzie prepare breakfast for her birthday, they slammed the islanders on social media.

Her birthday falls on August 20, featured on Tuesday's episode, where she was also seen getting all dolled up for the occasion.

Sydney said "yes" to Isaiah

Sydney and Isaiah's relationship has gone through many ups and downs in Love Island USA Season 4. It was primarily because of Isaiah, who was once ready to give Nadjha a chance and later brought Phoebe to the villa from Casa Amor. Both times, Sydney was shattered, but the two got back together at the end of the day.

In the previous episode, Sydney discovered that Isaiah had compared his beauty to Phoebe's in Casa Amor. He initially got defensive but later tried his best to convince her he was sorry.

The latest episode of Love Island USA Season 4 showed Sydney breaking down in front of Isaiah, who was also crying. She said:

“I just don’t know like how to go forward. Do I like end it before I get even more attached than already I am and then get just hurt?”

In response, Isaiah stated that she meant a lot to him and that he might have made the "natural beauty" comment on the spur of the moment. He was later seen seeking help from Jesse, Timmy, and Zeta to organize the perfect date for Sydney.

He told the boys he was ready to take things further in his relationship and hoped she would say "yes."

During his date, Isaiah popped the question to Sydney through a poem. He said:

“Here is a cheers. So I had to write it down. So cheers…some might say, this is a little early but I couldn’t wait. Steak and whip cream all up on your plate. I swear this is more than just a date. So far I’ve been good for myself, but with you will be great. I do love you and I hope that you’ll be my girlfriend.”

Sydney was ecstatic and she said yes to Isaiah's proposal. While the islanders cheered for the couple, Mackenzie seemed slightly upset. Apart from the lack of birthday celebrations, she lost her partner Chad to Phoebe. Currently, she is single in the villa.

Love Island USA Season 4 airs a new episode from Tuesday through Sunday at 9.00 PM ET on Peacock.
