Initially, Connor's interactions with Leah caused JaNa to feel betrayed and hurt, as she had expected loyalty from both Leah and Connor. JaNa expressed her frustration to Leah, explaining that she felt hurt by Leah's closeness with Connor and asking her friend to respect their friendship. On the other hand, Leah defended her actions, arguing that she was simply responding to Connor's attention and had no intention of hurting JaNa.

In the preview clip, Leah says, "That's not your boyfriend," to which JaNa responds, "you're literally making shit up." "No I'm not and just shut the f*** up," Leah hits her with her comeback.
