They all go to a Hollywood party where we can actually see some of the people from previous episodes such as Lashell (Player's Date), Shelby (Surfer Boys Date), Daniel (The OC Date), Erin (Shoot For Love Date), Brianna (Karma Date) and I'm sure there were more people but I can't remember! Aubrey and Candice get some alone time, and the chemistry just keeps heating up between them and as for Ali and Erin...not so sure anymore. Aubrey and Candice had a really good time and even a though long-distance relationship would be hard, they will still try to see each other every now and then.
