In the latest episode of Love Is Blind, Stacy Snyder and Johnie Maraist are far from being the best of friends. We got a sneak peek of the upcoming episodes on Friday, October 6, where Stacy, 35, and Johnie, 32, expressed their frustrations with each other, mainly due to their involvement in a love triangle with Izzy Zapata.
"I find you dishonest because throughout all our conversations about Izzy, you failed to mention that he is one of your closest connections," Johnie accused Stacy during a double date with Izzy and Chris Fox. "It was common knowledge that it was Izzy."
Stacy, on the other hand, had chosen to keep her connection with 32-year-old Izzy concealed until she denied Johnie's accusations.
"I didn't utter a word," Stacy shot back. "Johnie, how much do I need to repay you? I possess no faith in you. If you genuinely recognized my involvement, you would have responded in an entirely contrasting manner towards him."
Suppressing the impulse to mention that Stacy's connection with Izzy held no relevance, Johnie retorted, bringing a sigh of relief to the personal organizer. Following this, Johnie refuted Stacy's claim of modifying her own conduct.

Johnie accused Stacy of being deceitful, claiming that she treated him differently due to their respective relationships. In response, Stacy refuted the accusation and asserted that she had consistently behaved the same way throughout the experiment, even shedding tears for Johnie when she anticipated his rejection by Izzy.
Stacy expressed her empathy towards Johnie, which fueled her current strong reaction. "I regret shedding tears for you!" Stacy exclaimed.
Johnie defended against Stacy's accusations and suggested she consult their fellow cast mates to confirm if she truly is a "s—ty person."
"Oh, I've already completed that task and I have full confidence in my viewpoint, hence my disregard towards you," Stacy retorted.
While Stacy remained resolute in her convictions, Johnie enjoyed the backing of her partner, Chris, aged 28.
"Well, first of all, she's not a terrible person," Chris interjected, responding to Stacy's inquiry about the matter of his non-proposal at the experiment's conclusion.
Both Stacy and Johnie were invested in developing connections with Izzy while utilizing the pods. Additionally, Johnie found herself growing fond of Chris. Nevertheless, Johnie ultimately decided to sever her emotional ties with Chris once she acknowledged her deeper affection for Izzy.

During the "Viall Files" podcast episode on Thursday, October 5th, Izzy revealed that Johnie confided in him about not being in love with Chris after they ended their relationship. Izzy decided to break up with Johnie because he was worried when she couldn't give a valid explanation for her love towards him. Eventually, Izzy proposed to Stacy. However, Chris and Johnie found their way back to each other after leaving the pods without a partner.
New episodes of Love Is Blind season 5 premiere on Netflix on Fridays.
