Love Island USA Season 7 Episode 4 recap: Secrets, insecurities, and sliding into drama

Season 7 of Love Island USA is already heating up, and episode 4 brought the messiest, muddiest moment yet (literally). A flirty, over-the-top baseball challenge had the Islanders sliding into drama, heartbreak, and a few questionable kisses. While the challenge was all fun and games for some, it turned into emotional chaos for others, especially Huda Mustafa.

After revealing she has a four-year-old daughter in the previous episode, Huda seemed to be forming a steady connection with Jeremiah Brown. But with two new Bombshells crashing into the villa and getting a little too cozy during the game, Huda’s confidence took a hit. Fans, however, are questioning Jeremiah’s intentions, wondering if he’s just playing the field. Or worse, playing Huda.

Let’s break down all the muddy details from this wild Love Island USA episode.

Two new bombshells crash the villa, turning Love Island USA into a war zone

Just when the Islanders were starting to settle into their dynamics, Hannah and Amaya walked in like a plot twist. And in true Love Island USA fashion, they didn’t waste any time stirring the pot. Their arrival came with permission to cause chaos, aka, join the baseball challenge and pick whoever they wanted.

The fact that they jumped into the challenge gave them a license to get physical with the guys, especially the ones already coupled up. That included Jeremiah. The result? A domino effect of insecurity, jealousy, and confusion across the villa.

After the game, the new girls didn’t apologize. In fact, they owned their choices, saying they were there to find connections, and weren’t going to play it safe. In this competitive dating experiment, where Love Island USA thrives on risky behavior, they came in swinging. And now, Huda has to figure out whether Jeremiah is really on her team.

Jeremiah and Huda face their first real test on Love Island USA

Jeremiah and Huda have been one of the more consistent couples on Love Island USA, coupling up on day one and slowly building a connection. But with the introduction of Amaya and Hannah, two bold new Bombshells, the stability they were building started to wobble. The baseball game challenge had the girls pick guys to run the bases with.

While Jeremiah had been open to Huda’s big reveal about her daughter, telling her it wasn’t a red flag for him, the challenge seemed to trigger something deeper. Huda, understandably, had a tough time watching other women get physical with her partner.

Whether Jeremiah’s behavior was innocent or a sign of future drama, one thing’s clear: their bond is now under the Love Island USA microscope. In a villa where relationships move fast and crumble even faster, being closed off may not cut it.

Huda’s insecurities flare after the baseball challenge on Love Island USA

Before the challenge, Huda was feeling good about her connection with Jeremiah. She had opened up about her life, and he had reassured her that he was still interested. But as the girls took the lead during the game, things quickly got messy.

The challenge wasn’t just mud and laughs. It was physical. It was flirtatious. And when the new girls, Hannah and Amaya, got their chance to choose partners, the tension spiked. Jeremiah’s involvement, however playful, made Huda visibly uncomfortable. Her body language said it all. She wasn’t okay, and the discomfort lingered long after the game ended.

Huda didn’t hold back her feelings either. She made it known that she wasn’t a fan of Amaya, and it was clear she felt threatened. Her reaction was real, raw, and completely understandable in the context of the emotional tests that the show thrives on.

Nic’s love triangle adds more Love Island USA-style tension

While Huda and Jeremiah were navigating their own drama, Nic Vansteenberghe found himself in a full-blown triangle with Belle-A Walker and Cierra Ortega. Belle-A used the challenge to reignite her spark with Nic, sealing the moment with a kiss on the lips. No cheek kiss. No hesitation. Just a full send.

That shift in momentum made it seem like Nic was ready to pivot away from Cierra and toward Belle-A. But Cierra wasn’t about to lose her stake in the relationship without a conversation. She pulled Nic aside right after the game to figure out where things stood.

Now, Nic’s in the hot seat. Whichever way he turns, someone's bound to feel blindsided. Just another day in the emotional pressure cooker that is Love Island USA.
