"The Wall Comes Down," the fourth episode of the romantic reality television drama Cheat: Unfinished Business on Netflix, which premiered on April 30, 2025, was yet another heartbreaking experience.
Cheat: Unfinished Business, which centres on couples working through issues of infidelity with relationship counsellor Paul and host Amanda, took a big turn when the physical barrier between the couples was ultimately removed.
Following a stressful event that included both emotional and contentious moments, this symbolic moment occurred. The episode was a turning point in many relationships, from Liam's long-awaited admission to Olivia about his previous adultery to couples engaging in therapy exercises that compelled them to express what they truly value in one another.
Some partners rediscovered connection during the group therapy sessions, while others had to confront painful realities about their relationships. As the protective walls, both literal and emotional, began crumbling, Cheat: Unfinished Business viewers witnessed raw vulnerability rarely seen in reality television.
What happened in this episode of Cheat: Unfinished Business?
The episode picked up from Liam's confession about cheating on Olivia, with Paul asking her if "a crumb" of truth was enough. Olivia stood her ground, stating she deserved "a loaf" of honesty. Liam's apology came with a heartfelt declaration:
"You're the only person that matters."
This breakthrough set the tone for the group reckoning that followed. Dan faced scrutiny about his sincerity when Kieran openly questioned his previous emotional speech to Rebecca.
"She's been waiting this entire time and then at the click of a finger you managed to come up with the perfect speech," Kieran challenged.
Dan defended himself, suggesting the group didn't know him well enough to judge. Meanwhile, other couples shared their progress and struggles, with Biggs expressing genuine desire to repair things with Rebecca G.
"I can't just forgive and forget. I'm being honest here," Rebecca responded, maintaining her boundaries despite his pleas.
This episode of Cheat: Unfinished Business' highlight came when Paul introduced group therapy sessions where couples took turns sharing what they valued most about each other. This vulnerable exercise revealed surprising aspects of each relationship.
Jazz and Craig went first, initially showing such distance that Paul noted they hadn't even "acknowledged" each other upon entering. Amanda warned their "pride" might permanently damage their connection.
When prompted to list qualities they appreciated, Craig mentioned Jazz's "sense of humor," while she highlighted his "generosity." The mood lightened when Craig joked that his second favorite thing about her was her smile, and she playfully mentioned his "eight pack," earning laughs from everyone present.
Emotional walls begin to crumble as a new chapter begins
As each pair completed the exercise, the atmosphere shifted. Some couples rediscovered their foundations while others confronted painful realities. The most dramatic moment came when Conor admitted he didn't love Lucia, though he cared for her, a confession that brought her to tears.
Andre and Steph committed to working through their issues, while Kieran and Amberly reported hearing "positive" things about each other during their separate conversations.
For Liam and Olivia, the session built on their earlier breakthrough. When asked if he would prioritize her moving forward, Liam didn't hesitate:
"Of course, I will."
The wall that had physically divided the couples during the procedure was taken down as the show came to an end. With this symbolic act, their separation was formally ended, and a new stage in their recovery processes began.
The demolition of the wall symbolised not only a tangible shift but also the emotional barriers that many people had started to break down via openness and vulnerability. As they face the next challenges without this division, Cheat: Unfinished Business viewers are left wondering which relationships will strengthen and which might crumble under the weight of newfound transparency.
Cheat: Unfinished Business premiered on Netflix on April 30, 2025, and all nine episodes are now available to stream.
