Ok, we're going to need a minute to recover from tonight's episode of Love Island after the show aired what may be its most dramatic recoupling ever, after Toni chose to recouple with Harrison.
During tonight's episode the Toni, Harrison and Lauren love triangle continued with dramatic consequences. At the start of the episode Shakira and Ty chose to save Harrison and Lauren, alongside Conor and Emma and sent Tommy and Lucy home after the public vote.
Toni expressed her annoyance about Shakira saving Harrison and Lauren, however Shakira and Yasmin insisted that Toni was actually happy he was there.
Then later in the episode Harrison and Lauren slept together in the communal bedroom. Toni then discovered Harrison and Lauren had been physical but didn't learn the extent of what went down. However, this was enough for her to call things off with Harrison and she went onto tell him she was "done" with the love triangle and deserved "better".
The Islanders then received a text telling them there would a recoupling that evening with the girls choosing who they wanted to be in a couple with. As the Islanders were getting ready, Harrison confessed to Harry he wanted Toni to pick him at the recoupling and so Harry helped Harrison to meet Toni on the terrace.
While on the terrace Harrison confessed his feelings for Toni, who was confused by his confession but ultimately didn't seem put off by it.
It then came to the recoupling and when it came to Toni's decision she chose to recouple with Harrison, shocking the rest of the Villa.
In her speech she said: "The last few days, if not weeks, have been really up and down and confusing. But after a very unexpected conversation on the terrace this evening, I've gotten the clarity and the answers I've been looking for."
At this point fellow Islander Meg whispered to Dejon: "They met at the terrace, is that what Harry pulled her for?"
Toni then continued: "I think this person has realised where they went wrong. Hopefully things will look up from here on out. This decision has not been easy for me and I really had no idea where my head was at until that conversation.
"I would like to apologise on behalf of both of us to the two people we've hurt in the process of coming to this conclusion. I'm not usually one for second or third chances but I'm willing to give it a shot. The boy I would like to couple up with is Harrison."
Her decision sent shock waves through the Villa with all the Islanders looked stunned at her choice.
Lauren went onto recouple with Ty, who had expressed interest in her earlier on in the day, and Cach was chosen by Emma.
Following the recoupling the group quickly dispersed and Lauren burst into tears with Helena and Meg, where she could be heard saying she felt like an "idiot".
Toni and Harrison remained at the Firepit where they both confessed to feeling terrible. Harrison then asked Toni if she thought Cach expected her to decision to which she said no. Cach was then overheard telling the boys it was "done" with himself and Toni.
It's safe to say tomorrow's night episode of Love Island is sure to be a dramatic one.
Love Island continues on ITV2 and ITVX
