During the episode, the islanders had to choose male islanders to kiss and Hannah Smith named Hakeem White despite their recent dramatic feud.

During the challenge, Hannah and Hakeem hopped on each other for a kiss and fell into the water. Additionally, Hannah had a wardrobe malfunction as Hakeem mistakenly pushed up her shell bra while kissing her. However, Hannah's current connection Kendall Washington was left disappointed and hurt with her latest behaviour.

Hannah tried to defend herself and said, "I thought it was funny." However, Kendall was not convinced by Hannah's response and noted, "Are you kidding me?" Hannah later claimed, "I did not even kiss him... I literally fell into the water and drowned." Kendall was still offended and said, "You just got to see it through my lens and there's four other guys you could've chose."

He added, "It was the fact that you chose Hakeem." However, Hannah insisted that she was not interested in Hakeem and that she only liked Kendall. However, Kendall shut Hannah up by saying, "But actions speaks louder than words." He asked, "And why would you risk hurting my feelings in that situation?"
