Imani confessed to Ray about the recoupling, "I feel good I feel like we have something really good we've built a really great connection we work good together and you know this experience really it puts you back against the wall."

She continued, "Like it really does it really makes you think about like what you want long term too so I do think you know there could be something long term with us for sure."

However, Ray also confessed similar feelings and noted, "I think of the same thing too. I feel like you're my person. Everything I've ever wanted in someone." Ray added, "I want to go into the real world."

Ray proposed to Imani to be his girlfriend and she said 'yes' to him. However, the viewers suggested that Ray hasten the proposal.

A social media user tweeted, "Ray be tryna control Imani .. that’s not your property, G! Relax, you supposed to stand by YOUR WOMAN .. YOUR girlfriend .. fuck them “best friends”."

Another person added, "I like Imani and Ray but their connection isn't that strong for me to be girlfriend and boyfriend already. Its giving forced."

Another critic said, "Ugh just started watching tonight's episode and can't believe that corny ssa Ray asked Imani to be his girlfriend 🙄 I do not see her with that cry baby. Something about him doesn't convince me🤔."

Another viewer penned, "Ray should’ve waited on popping that girlfriend question." Another X user stated, "I’m afraid Imani and Ray (his fault cause he asked) did the girlfriend and boyfriend thing too soon."
