If you thought Sunday night’s episode of “Bachelor in Paradise” was dramatic, then just wait until Monday’s. Fans who tuned in for the ABC reality show know that Samantha broke up with Joe … on his birthday. But while Samantha may have washed her hands of the house “villain,” Joe has plans to release shocking text messages that reveal it was HER plan for Joe to do “whatever it takes” to stay in “Paradise.”

According to the synopsis for episode 4B, a little light will come out of the drama when Mikey and Juelia get a second chance at love. After getting saved the night before, the two will go on an overnight date involving Lucha Libre wrestling. But the afternoon won’t be all fun and games. Things will get serious when the two “discuss their future as a couple.”

Meanwhile, the Samantha and Joe drama will continue back at the house. While Samantha tried to befriend the other cast members in episode 4A after breaking up with Joe, some will start to question her “authenticity.” Things will take a dark turn when Joe confronts her about the text messages and threatens to expose her as the house villain. But love is a tricky beast. The episode description teases that Joe is still hung up on Samantha – despite her brutal birthday breakup and backstabbing. He’ll try to start fresh with his lady love, but Samantha’s not interested.

Things escalate when another newcomer arrives on “Bachelor in Paradise.” Justin from Kaitlyn Bristowe’s season of “The Bachelorette” shows up in Mexico, hoping for a chance with Samantha. And although Joe “protests,” Samantha accepts a date with the new arrival. Her bold move will leave everyone in the house wondering if Joe is actually a victim rather than a villain.
