Too Hot to Handle: Germany Season 2 Episode 8 recap - The last date

In the first segment of the finale, Lana gathered the couples whom she thought were yet to prove their emotional connections. This was before the finalists were announced. The first couple that were set for the task were Calvin and Jennifer. The former expressed his feelings to his date and said that he was excited.

Raising a toast to their futures, the couple then started to talk about their deeper concerns. Calvin wanted to make sure that Jennifer trusted him. She reassured him that they do have trust in their bond. This made Calvin visibly happy as he said,

"That makes me happy. I trust you, too. And we're definitely building on that, I think. It's going to work for us."

The couple then shared a romantic moment by the end of their date.

The second couple that were allowed to bond through a date were Laurenz and Brenda. In the previous episode of Too Hot to Handle: Germany, Laurenz revealed his emotions of insecurity when it comes to dating. He said that being with Brenda makes him question if he is worthy because she is very confident.

He said he had a thought in mind that he may be replaced by a better man who has better humor or looks. However, the men consoled Laurenz and guided him to follow his heart.

However, during the date, Laurenz was happy that the two had made it this far because he saw himself being with her. In a confessional on the episode, he says,

"I have a feeling that this is going to be a solid, long-term thing. I can really see in her eyes that she won't let me down. I just want to be with her so badly."

The two seemed to be on the same page when it came to their feelings about each other. He even called Brenda his "dream girl."
