"Love is Blind" Spoilers: UK Episodes 1-4 Love is Blind has provided reality show fans with some truly dramatic love triangles, whether it be puddles of tears, explosive fights, or the birth of a baby (congratulations, Bliss and Zach). The first season of Love is Blind: UK has more complicated three-way romances than non-confrontational couples, but none more chaotic than the flame between Nicole Stevens, Sam Klein, and Benaiah. Nicole had to decide between the two men, but found herself making a mistake when she got engaged to Sam over Benaiah; the first episode, released on August 6, had viewers wondering if Nicole would get a second chance. As we wait for the rest of the season, here's everything we know about Nicole and Benaiah's relationship, including whether she still has feelings for Sam.

Nicole, a 29-year-old brand marketing executive, came to Love is Blind: UK; according to her Netflix bio, she focused on her career (and MBA) after her first marriage ended, but arrived on the show ready to find love again. She quickly made two strong connections in the pod, Sam, a 31-year-old product design manager, and Benaiah, a 33-year-old structural landscape architect.

Sam may be the most marriage-minded man of the season. In his first testimony, he admits that he has spent a lot of time on his appearance (no mention of therapy), including months at the gym, a skin care routine, and a nose job before his dream wedding. (Therapy is not mentioned.) He hits it off best with two women, Nicole and Jasmine, a 29-year-old mental health nurse. In one early scene with Jasmine, he confesses that he feels he is often perceived as wanting a pick-up rather than a real relationship. Jasmine counters that this means he has "fuckboy energy," to which he quickly replies "no."

At one point in the pod, both Nicole and Jasmine say that Sam tends to say what they want to hear. They both imply that it is a red herring. Especially since they are participating in a process where vulnerability can lead to emotional manipulation. Jasmine pushes back on this and Sam immediately braces herself. Nicole, on the other hand, thinks Sam is fun and thinks she can watch the two "kick each other off."

In the second episode, Jasmine dumps Sam in favor of her connection to her eventual fiancé Bobby. Perhaps it was the first time a golden goblet was thrown into the pod, but Sam's reaction is not good, and bringing up Nicole when they return to the men's quarters is also a red herring." I've narrowed it down to two great girls, and one of them is no longer available." So beggars can't be choosers, eh". From this moment on, he decided to shoot Nicole.

As we have seen throughout the first four episodes, Sam's behavior in "Love is Blind" is resolutely consistent: Sam's behavior in UK can best be described as determined and consistent. Although Nicole is not entirely sure how Benaiah feels about marriage (their relationship will be explained shortly), Sam gives her his good luck bracelet and says he just wants to be with her. As the proposal date approaches, Nicole seems to value his consistency very much. Even though Benaiah warns her that Sam may not be on the show for "pure reasons," she chooses to speak with Sam first on proposal day (if you can believe the editing). When she voices her concerns in the pod, Sam assures her that he is there purely for love, telling her over and over again to "trust him" and eventually asking her to marry him. Nicole says yes, and in a tearful testimony afterward, she says, "He said all the right things. I just have to believe it."

She then said, "I'm not going to believe it, I'm not going to believe it.

Sam and Nicole's face-to-face revelations are awkward. Not the awkwardness of Irina and Zach, but the awkwardness of Jimmy and Chelsea, which is a direct glimpse into the camera from the awkwardness of Jimmy and Chelsea. He repeats, "Trust me," over and over, and she seems a little shocked. (The ring gets a little stuck in the box, so Nicole takes it out herself and puts it on the ring finger of her left hand instead of her right. Sam then says, "I love you," but Nicole doesn't say it back. In the confessional immediately after, Nicole says she has to see what happens "in the real world," but as the crew fixes her microphone, she says to the crew, "I'm not sure I'm ready for this. This is very dangerous territory."

The next time we saw Nicole and Sam, they were not at a resort on the Greek island of Corfu with another engaged couple. Instead, they were in their apartment giving separate interviews, explaining that they had broken up off-screen. Sam only mentions her connection to another man, but Nicole points out that the ring fiasco was a sign in hindsight. She says of herself and Sam, in a moment that would make Natalie and Deepti proud, "I'm clear about my feelings and we're not flying to Greece." And that's the end of Nicole and Sam's relationship for the moment.

Nicole and Benaiah's connection quickly became spiritual. The two nature lovers bonded over values related to "conscious living" and "mind-body-spirit." Nicole admires Benaiah's 10 years of traveling the world, couch surfing, and cultivating her freelance career. (Benaiah admits to being strictly "homeless," but rather nomadic.) Benaiah is also very open about his spiritual situation. He mentions his difficult childhood and the fact that he hasn't dated since 2012, but says he has done a lot of work to love himself. (Therapy is also not mentioned, but it is heavily implied that mental health is important to him.)

Nicole admits that her connection with Benaiah is one of deep understanding, and Benaiah says that Nicole fills his heart with happiness and positivity. However, Benaiah is not one to move very quickly. When she asks where the possibility of marriage lies, he admits that he imagines a future with her, but is not at the point of "committing" at that point. This confuses her about the strength of these relationships compared to Sam and the bracelet of fortune.

According to the edit, Benaiah becomes concerned about Nicole and Sam's relationship when she hears Sam discussing Nicole's possible physical relationship with other men. (Frankly, this exchange is still a bit confusing, but very Shake Code-esque.) Benaiah talks about the conflict with his partner Steven and says there are "question marks" about "authenticity and genuine reasons" for Sam being there (we didn't see any of that in the first four episodes). Benaiah decides to warn Nicole and uses the very words "authentic reasons" but seems much more conflicted because he doesn't want to "sabotage" another one of her connections.

Nicole is upset by this information, but decides to follow her edit and question Sam before speaking with Benaiah again. This is also the conversation in which she and Sam get engaged, and when Benaiah is ready to talk to her and make that commitment on the day of the proposal, she has already said yes to Sam. Benaiah is disappointed and mentions that he thought their relationship was really getting to a good point; we'll have to see what the interruption of that connection means in the episodes scheduled to premiere on August 14 and 21.

The final moments of Love is Blind: in UK episode 4, Nicole is in a restaurant in England waiting for Benaiah to head to the reunion location." I made a mistake, and there are people I need to talk to, I owe them a big apology because I really want to make things right with them," Nicole says. Viewers won't know what will happen between them until the next episode is delivered on Wednesday, August 14, but in the teaser, Benaiah is seen telling her, "It's very hard for me, but the right thing happened."

Another clue that Nicole and Benaiah's love story is not over" Benaiah and Sam also reappear this season in a confrontation that was depicted in both the beginning and end of the first four episodes. In a chat that may take place at the pod reunion, Sam says to Benaiah, "I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do this.

If Sam is going to goad Benaiah about Nicole (what else could it be?), there is a good chance that Nicole and Benaiah were dating at the time, unless Sam is just stirring up drama for no reason. If so, when was that night? Was it before or after she met Benaiah again? And do we really take Sam's word for such an event?" these are some of the overthinking questions we'll keep in mind until the next episode drops.
