It's Dinner Party time, and the aftermath of the big days out creates tension. Two husbands clash when one of them tries to defend his wife's honour, and a dinner table disagreement sends another couple on a downward spiral. However, it's a surprise arrival that delivers the biggest shock of the evening.
The newlyweds head off on days out, but rest and relaxation are the last things on their minds. Things get spicy on the dance floor and steamy in the hot tub, as a potentially compromising photo stirs up trouble. Plus, a blindsided groom is ambushed by two brides who are determined to give him a piece of their minds.
It's the start of In-Laws Week, and a careless comment leaves one wife's mother in tears when the family come to visit. Plus, a brand-new couple join the experiment! Hoping to find her fairy-tale happy-ever-after, a new bride is in search of her very own Prince Charming - but will his grand efforts to woo her succeed?
Mel, Charlene and Paul invite the couples to the couch for the second Commitment Ceremony of the experiment. Some reflect on a positive week, but others struggle to overcome feelings of betrayal. Another marriage is rocked by a lack of attraction, forcing them to face the tough decision of whether to stay and work at their marriage, or leave the process - and each other - for good.
Experts Week sees Mel, Paul and Charlene set exercises specifically designed to strengthen and develop each couple's marriage. However, an ill-judged honeymoon comment comes back to haunt one groom, while the challenge of facing uncomfortable truths proves too much for a marriage that's already on the rocks.
