Sam Logan and Juliette Porter's relationship is blossoming. It has only been a little over a year since they have begun dating, which means they are still in their honeymoon phase. This is typically the time when you'd do anything for your significant other, and that's exactly what Sam will be doing in this week's episode of 'Siesta Key'. 

He has invited a friend of his, who is also an artist, to get Juliette's portrait made. The said guest shares a history with Sam, which makes the interactions spicier.

Who is Jordana Barnes?

She's Juliette's potential nemesis or BFF, given they are able to get past Jordana's past that ties her to Sam closely. After Sam split with ex Brittany Russell, girlfriend of 10 years, he and Jordana hooked up, which drove a wedge between the three of them. Juliette, who came much later into the picture, too didn't seem to approve of what Jordana and Sam had going on.



 

Jordana is a self-taught artist who deals with TV prints and famous portraits, which explains why Sam was splurging $10K on the painting. Juliette too was surprised by the amount but she quickly steered her focus to discussing what colors would look good on the artwork. As they went about the process, Juliette asked questions about Jordana's past and answered a few about hers.

On the surface, they may seem like they are feuding, but we know Jordana and Juliette have worked together. They starred in co-star Brandon Gomes' music video titled 'Malibu'. It could be the camera but the girls seemed pally. Did they film for it after they wrapped up their first meeting? Only time will tell.



 

The new face on 'Siesta Key' is more familiar with the whole friends' group than one may think. She regularly hangs out with Madisson Hausburg and Kelsey Owens, the woman Juliette currently has beef with. By the end of Season 3, Kelsey and Juliette were feuding over their business ideas. Both clashed about working on launching swimwear lines. As expected, viewers pointed out that they could have collaborated instead. In her defense, Kelsey tweeted after the episode ended: "Fun fact: I DID ask Juliette to collab well before the season started filming and she turned me down #onesided #siestakey."
