Love Island USA season 7 aired episode 21 this week on Thursday, June 26, 2025, on Peacock. The episode started with fans getting the answer to a much-asked question: Where did Olandria and Nic drive off in an SUV together after being dumped?
In episode 21, the two were seen on a date and received a text informing of their choices. The two could either remain single and leave the show or return to the villa as a couple.
The two were shocked by the proposition but admitted to wanting to get to know each other from the beginning of season 7. Fans online reacted to the twist and questioned how authentic the show was, considering that viewers had previously taken to social media and expressed wanting to see Nic and Olandria together. One person wrote on X:

Nic and Olandria couple up after being dumped and return to Love Island USA in season 7 episode 21
In Love Island USA season 7 episode 21, the viewers saw Nic and Olandria on a date. Nic received a text that read that they could either remain single and leave the island or return to the villa as a couple.
"Me and you couple up? Oh sh*t," Olandria said.
Nic held the female islander's hand as he asked if she saw this coming and Olandria said no. However, she added that she believed there was only one right answer. She said they should go back to the "f*cking villa."
Before they left, Nic admitted to wanting to get to know Olandria better since the beginning. He added that he believed they didn't get the opportunity to have such conversations and that their current scenario was the perfect chance to do so.
Olandria recalled the beginning of Love Island USA season 7 and how they kept kissing and not talking, and it made her wonder. She recalled thinking that Nic kept choosing her and wondered if there was something there.
"But it's like when Cierra got involved, and then you had Belle-A, it was like "Okay, he has a lot going on," Olandria said.
She added that she didn't want to make it worse, while the male islander said it was like a "fun secret admirer kind of a thing," even though they never got to talk much.
Fans reacted to the cast members' date and their return to the villa, and believed it was scripted.
Tune in on Friday, June 27, 2025, to watch what happens next with Nic and Olandria on Love Island USA season 7 episode 22 on Peacock.
