LOVE ISLAND: ARMENIAN CHAOS EDITION — EPISODE 3 “The Sticker Book Incident & Lara’s Basement Confession” (Runtime: nearly double-length. Caution: contains seduction, sabotage, supernatural interference, and suspicious snacks.) 🌅 COLD OPEN – 6:13 AM A slow camera pan over the villa: Coady is sleeping in the hammock with Julia’s scarf tied around his wrist. Arinne is sleep-sobbing into a stuffed dolphin. George is wide awake, staring directly into the camera lens, holding a Polaroid of Lara from 2022. Anais is asleep diagonally across both Jake Taylor and Abeba. Someone is missing. 🎵 Cue eerie piano version of “Toxic.” SCENE 1: THE NEW ARRIVALS 📱 TEXT MESSAGE: “ISLANDERS. GET READY. TWO NEW ISLANDERS ARE ENTERING. ONE KNOWS YOU. ONE KNOWS YOUR SECRETS.” ⚠️ Camera cuts to the gate. Two figures walk in: ✨NEW ISLANDER 1: SEANNA MURPHY Andre’s toxic ex. Watertown legend. Dominican-adjacent. Hot. Volatile. Says "it's giving" every 6 seconds. ✨NEW ISLANDER 2: THEO D BB&N senior. Gay. Mysterious. Knows Damian from “camp.” Black nail polish, white tank top. Carries a journal. Everyone’s name is in it. No one knows how. SCENE 2: IMMEDIATE COLLAPSE 🔥 Andre vs. Seanna – FRONT LAWN Seanna: “Oh look. The discount J. Cole’s still alive.” Andre: “Nah why you here? You tryna embarrass yourself on camera again?” Seanna: “You already did that when you let a Belmont white girl turn you emo.” They kiss. For 5 seconds. Then slap each other and walk away. 🎭 Theo & Damian – KITCHEN Theo (smirking): “You still wear Axe body spray?” Damian (defensive): “It’s nostalgic.” Theo: “So is denying your feelings. But you can’t do that forever, babe.” Saro watches through a plant. His eyebrow twitches. SCENE 3: THE STICKER BOOK INCIDENT Arinne finally snaps. She corners Damian behind the pool house. Arinne: “I was there for you when your braces got stuck in your mouthguard. I made you homemade pop tarts. And now you’re in love with Saro??” Damian: “I never said love—” Arinne pulls out a beat-up Lisa Frank sticker book. Damian’s face goes pale. Arinne: “You said you’d marry me if I gave you my rare holographic narwhal sticker.” Everyone is silent. Julia passes by and whispers, “That’s dark magic.” SCENE 4: LARA’S BASEMENT CONFESSION That night, Lara takes Anais, Abeba, and Saro into the villa wine cellar for a “girls + Saro only” talk. Lara’s face is serious. Lara: “I have to confess something. About George.” Everyone groans. Anais: “Girl, we know he’s scary.” Lara: “No. It’s worse. In eighth grade… I hooked up with him. In his basement. And he said… ‘this isn’t over.’” Saro screams. Abeba drops her glass. Anais: “Did he mean the hookup or… like… the curse?” 📸 Flash cut to George silently watching this conversation from the floor vent above. SCENE 5: THE RECOUPLING CEREMONY (EXTENDED) Everyone dresses up. The mood? Hostile sexy. Order is flipped. The BOYS (and Abeba) are choosing this time. 📍Coupling Results: Coady picks Julia: “I’m still scared. But also, kind of in love?” Jake Butler shockingly picks Abeba: “I’m trying to grow.” (Anais nearly throws her shoe.) Andre picks Seanna: “Let’s cause problems on purpose.” Damian picks Theo. Theo: “Risky move.” Damian: “I’m tired of being safe.” Saro quietly exhales and turns away. Jake Taylor picks Anais: “You’re still the hottest problem here.” Abeba: stone cold glare. George picks Lara. Lara: “I will commit murder.” Saro, left single, shockingly stands up and picks Arinne. “This girl gave me a narwhal sticker in 7th grade. I respect that.” Arinne passes out. 📱TEXT MESSAGE: “ONE COUPLE WILL BE ELIMINATED IN THE MORNING. VILLA VOTES. AND NEW TWIST: STARTING TOMORROW, ALL ISLANDERS WILL HAVE PRIVATE CAMS IN THEIR ROOMS. SECRETS WON’T STAY SECRET.” SCENE 6: THE PRIVATE CAM FOOTAGE — 2:37 AM Night vision. Seanna and Andre arguing under a blanket… then kissing violently. Julia is mumbling in Latin while rubbing essential oils on Coady’s feet. Theo writes in his journal. One page reads: “Saro = still vulnerable. Watch Arinne.” George whispers to himself: “Basement... basement… it’s still ours.” SCENE 7: SECRET VILLA POLL RESULTS – MORNING 📱TEXT MESSAGE: “THE COUPLE VOTED MOST TOXIC BY THE VILLA IS… DAMIAN & THEO.” They must spend 24 hours chained together with a fuzzy pink rope. 📱SECOND TEXT: “THE COUPLE VOTED MOST LIKELY TO FAKE LOVE FOR CLOUT… ANAÏS & JAKE TAYLOR.” They must do a “LIE DETECTOR KISSING CHALLENGE” hosted by Julia. Anais: “This show is cooked.” SCENE 8: THE KISSING CHALLENGE — HOSTED BY JULIA Julia: “Welcome to the Polygraph of Passion. You kiss. The machine buzzes if someone’s lying. I built it with my cousin who works at NASA.” Jake kisses Anais. BEEP. Julia: “Lie detected.” Anais: “Is this because I thought about Abeba?” Jake: “Is this because I was thinking about Lara?” Julia: smiling too hard “Yup.” Anais: “We’re gonna get jumped.” SCENE 9: HOT TUB SPIRAL ROUND 2 Lara, Theo, Abeba, and Andre are drinking heavily. Lara (to Theo): “What’s the real deal with Damian?” Theo: “I knew him before the black nail polish. He was just a confused pretty boy at camp. Now he’s a confused pretty boy with options.” Lara: “I want one day without someone crying over that man.” Theo: “Impossible.” They all cheers. Then Seanna appears holding a frying pan. “Who put mushrooms in my oat milk?” Cue the screaming. ENDING MONTAGE – INTENSITY LEVEL: UNHOLY 🎵 Music: Beyoncé x Skrillex remix of “Cuff It” Saro standing alone in the rain, watching Arinne sleep. Theo and Damian back-to-back, chained, whispering. Julia meditating over a burning sage bundle, chanting, “Reveal the truth…” Jake Butler and Abeba hooking up in the shower. Anais sees. Her face: murderous. George slowly opening a basement trapdoor. A whisper: “Lara…” 📱FINAL TEXT: “TOMORROW: SOMEONE RETURNS. SOMEONE DISAPPEARS. AND SECRETS FROM THE BASEMENT WILL BE EXPOSED.” Let me know if you're ready for Episode 4: “Basement Secrets, Demon Sex, and the Ultimate Betrayal.” It’s already unhinged.
