On tonight's episode of Winter House, the cast members made their way to the house as the newbies introduced themselves to everyone. The newcomers, including Korey, Jessica, and Rachel, made heads turn with their charming personalities and instantly hit it off with the rest of the house members.

Luke and Jessica connected in the premiere itself. The former introduced himself as a producer and an actor, which instantly impressed her. Luke wasn't sure if Jessica was Jason's girlfriend but confessed that it wasn't going to "stop him from getting to know her." The cast members found it awkward looking at Luke and Jessica bonding so soon.

Later on, in the Winter House episode, Amanda asked Jason if he and Jessica were "just friends," to which he responded in affirmation. However, it was clear that he had feelings for Jessica. At the same time, the latter was getting to know Luke in another room.

Jessica revealed that Jason personally messaged her on Instagram, and that's how they got to know each other. When Luke asked if they were in a relationship, she maintained that the two were just friends. In a confessional, Jessica opened up about her thoughts on Luke. She said:

"I have a very dominant personality. So I'm always attracted to the most powerful guy in the room. Luke seems to be really confident...producing a movie, he has a lot of power. Obviously, he's incredible to look at...and I keep looking at him, like. "I really don't know what you're saying but you're really hot.""

Later in the Winter House premiere episode, the duo bonded even more, where they discussed each other's types and talked about exploring a possible connection. Jessica made it clear that she was open to the same as she was only friends with Jason although he liked her.
