Francine

It's been a while since she had a girls' night out with her best friend Sara. Francine also wanted to celebrate her final and permanent break up with her ex-boyfriend. There were awkward moments at the bar, but things improved when Sara left the dance floor with her new friend Ray. The night turned into good times and ended at a waterfront loft. Francine crashed on the sofa and woke up the next morning to freshly brewed coffee and Ray's older brother half naked in the kitchen. Ryan was handsome, inked, and his gritty persona was so hot she couldn't take it.

Melody

They had chemistry, but she was surprised to find out his identity.
