The following day finds Antonio organizing a "M'Antonio" workout to test the ladies physical mettle. Antonio next tests their romantic spirit by having them write love-letters to him.

Later, the women must compete in the main challenge, sculpting a clay figurine of Antonio as he poses nude. Autumn and Christi emerge victorious and Antonio and the two girls will later have a romantic boatride date. Meanwhile, the girls attend a disco with Antonio, where tension rises between the girls as Christi and Tania clash after Tania accuses her of being two-faced. After the date, Tully tells Jessica that she's too young for Antonio, and she lashes back and points out that Tully still lives in her parents and does not have a job.
