Based on a preview of the upcoming episode, "The Split" twist -- which put Paradise couples to the test by separating them at different resorts in Mexico -- is going to come to an end.

But things turned upside down during "The Split" for everyone else.
Logan Palmer, who was falling hard for Shanae Ankney in Paradise, went on a date with Sarah Hamrick and then determined he had a "groundbreaking" connection with Kate Gallivan.
Logan and Kate therefore went on a date and there were fireworks. Logan gushed to the cameras about how Kate hit him "like a hurricane" and their chemistry was unmatched and off the charts.
For Shanae's part, she had tested the waters with Tyler Norris, whom she thought was really hot and sexy. However, Shanae kept thinking about Logan and didn't commit herself to anybody.
The twist also got Rodney and Eliza together, which resulted in Lace Morris going home, as well as Andrew Spencer and Jessenia Cruz.

Brittany Galvin has yet to discover Andrew had left her for Jessenia, but Brittany created a spark of her own with Tyler, who came to the conclusion that he liked Brittany more than Shanae due to her kind heart and sincerity.
Jill is hoping to reunite with Jacob after the twist and resume what they were building as a couple, but she's not aware of the fact Jacob had admitted Jill is not his person and he saw a future with Kate, who dumped him for Logan.
"If I walk in and Jacob has another b-tch on his lap, I'll blow his d-ck clean off," Jill joked in a confessional during a recent episode.
And Victoria must choose between Johnny and Alex Bordyukov. While Victoria really liked Johnny, Alex seemed ready for marriage and kids given he's eight years older than Johnny.
There is clearly much more drama to come, and there will be a mix of tears, heartbreak and joyful reunions when Bachelor in Paradise returns.

Andrew previously told People how Bachelor in Paradise's eighth season was "life-changing" for him and "takes off at a high speed" that "doesn't stop."
And Serene recently shared how it's going to be the "most dramatic" season yet.
But fans have yet to see any "Boom Boom Room" action or cast members tell each other they're in love.
So what happens on the remaining episodes of Bachelor in Paradise? Keep reading for all the Season 8 Paradise spoilers, according to Reality Steve spoiler blogger Steve Carbone.

Jesse Palmer called the Bachelor in Paradise season "crazy"
"It's insane down here. It's absolutely crazy," Jesse told Us Weekly while the season was still filming."There's all these people. There is just so much chaos, so much drama, and never-before-seen things down here taking place in Paradise... And we've been switching things up. We've been changing things up and it's hard to keep track of it all, to be honest."
Jesse said the show was already "amazing" at that point, adding how he was "having so much fun."
"I always wondered as a fan of the show, 'How paradise-y was Paradise?' And I can tell you, it is so much fun. It really is paradise. This place is magic," Jesse gushed.

Rachel Recchia shows up in Paradise
During The Bachelorette's Season 19 finale, a promo of Bachelor in Paradise's season featured Rachel Recchia making an appearance at the Paradise resort in Mexico."He is so great. He really is. I'm going to cry because I'm so happy!" Rachel gushes to her girlfriends.
When asked in what capacity she'll be a part of the show, Rachel told Variety in a recent interview, "They're going to tune in and find out... I definitely make an appearance on the beach. What happens? Everyone will just have to wait and see, but it’s definitely crazy down there."
However given the Bachelor in Paradise season was filmed after Rachel got engaged to Tino Franco at The Bachelorette Season 19's final Rose Ceremony in May but before Rachel and Tino subsequently split up in August, Rachel didn't go to Paradise looking to find love.

Rachel's Bachelor in Paradise appearance was then presumably just a guest appearance in which she hosted a date or visited her fellow former The Bachelor and The Bachelorette castmates.

Carbone revealed in an October 25 blog posting that Victoria and Johnny reportedly split in early September.Rumors have recently been swirling that Victoria cheated on Johnny, and two Bachelor Nation sources have told YouTuber Dave Neal that Victoria cheated on Johnny TWICE!
One of the men Victoria had cheated on Johnny with is allegedly The Bachelorette alum Greg Grippo, who competed for Katie Thurston's heart on the show's seventeenth season.
Carbone said he hasn't heard anything about the cheating allegations, but in late October, Johnny added to the rumor mill by posting on his Instagram Stories how he's "unwell."
Victoria is reportedly dating former The Bachelorette bachelor Greg Grippo now
On October 21, a Bachelor Nation fan claimed to have seen Victoria and Greg together while she was visiting The Colosseum in Rome, Italy.ADVERTISEMENT
A second fan then also claimed to have seen Victoria and Greg walking a quiet street while enjoying her honeymoon in Capri, an Italian island that is only a couple of hours away from Rome by train and ferry.
Unfortunately neither fan was able to take a good photo or video showing the faces of the alleged couple, leaving the legitimacy of the claims uncertain.
However, the sightings were consistent with prior rumors Carbone said he had heard.
"I did hear 2 weeks ago 'rumblings' about Victoria and Greg Grippo being involved together in some capacity," Carbone wrote in his October 25 blog posting.
Carbone couldn't confirm or deny that Victoria and Johnny were recently in Italy together, but he had heard there is "definitely" something going on between Victoria and Greg and they're "in communication" -- whether that means they're talking, hooking up or dating.
"All I know is they are definitely in contact since her breakup with Johnny. Whether it played a role in the breakup I'm not sure," Carbone explained.

But later on October 25, Carbone tweeted a new update that he had now confirmed Victoria and Greg were indeed in Italy together.
"(SPOILER NOW CONFIRMED): Victoria Fuller and Greg Grippo in Rome today near the Trevi fountain. Video coming soon," he wrote.
Carbone then proceeded to post a video which appeared to show Victoria and Greg each dressed very casually and attempting to obscure their appearances.
Victoria and Greg each wore sunglasses and large, loose-fitting coats and appeared to be doing their best to go incognito, with Victoria wearing casual large white pants and Greg seemingly wearing dark jeans and a baseball cap.
The Roman fountain footage represented a big wardrobe change from the earlier photo that allegedly showed Victoria and Greg in Capri.
The Capri photo, seemingly taken in the evening, appeared to show the couple openly enjoying a date night outing. Neither Victoria and Greg wore coats or hats, and Victoria was wearing a tight-fitting miniskirt outfit with knee-high boots.
