Ah, 90 Day: The Last Resort. Where troubled relationships go to… get more troubled? The premise, as always, is simple: take a group of couples on the verge of implosion, stick them in a tropical paradise under the watchful eye of therapists, and watch the sparks fly. Or, in this case, watch the kayaks capsize. This week’s episode, “The Last Laugh,” finds the couples dealing with the consequences of a night of heavy partying. Hangovers and hurt feelings are on the menu.
The real test comes in the form of a group kayaking activity. Because nothing says “relationship building” like trying to paddle a small boat with someone you’re actively resenting. Some couples find their rhythm, demonstrating a surprising amount of teamwork. Others, however, flounder, proving that even in a scenic location, old habits die hard. There’s blatant disregard for the rules, petty squabbles, and the reemergence of those same communication breakdowns that landed these couples in therapy in the first place.
This episode continues the season’s exploration of whether these relationships are salvageable. While the couples grapple with trust issues, jealousy, and the fine art of paddling in a straight line, viewers are left wondering if the retreat will bring these couples closer or drive them further apart. Either way, it’s bound to be a bumpy ride.
90 Day: The Last Resort airs Mondays at 8:00 PM on TLC.
