Netflix's social experiment reality show The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On concluded its third season with an emotional reunion special on December 18, 2024.

The show's premise challenges couples at a crossroads in their relationships to make a final decision: get married or break up. During the reunion, contestant Sandy delivered a poignant reflection on her journey with ex-partner Nick, stating simply,

"We got the answers we came here for."

The statement perfectly encapsulated the bittersweet nature of their experience on the show, which began with six couples and ended with multiple dramatic exits and relationship transformations.

Hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, the reunion special brought together the original cast members, including some special guests, to discuss their journeys, revelations, and life after the cameras stopped rolling.

What did Nick and Sandy reveal during the reunion episode of The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On?

One of the most dramatic moments addressed during the reunion was the finale's infamous jacket pocket scene. Nick clarified that contrary to viewer speculation, he wasn't reaching for an engagement ring but rather a prepared speech - one that the audience would never hear.

Sandy's immediate reaction to his movement proved telling, as Nick explained that her "visceral reaction" made him realize she wasn't ready for the commitment he sought.

The reunion revealed the challenging aftermath of Nick and Sandy's relationship. Nick openly discussed his turn to alcohol following their separation, admitting that he "begged and pleaded" for reconciliation.

Sandy stood by him during his initial recovery, but their reunion proved short-lived. According to Nick,

"she didn't want to do that, she went on a trip, and she's been pretty much trippin' ever since."

Sandy, maintaining her composure, acknowledged this account as "pretty accurate."

The reunion also brought to light some unexpected post-show connections. When discussing their current situations, it was revealed that Sandy and fellow contestant J.R. had maintained contact after filming.

While they initially claimed these were innocent check-ins during episode airings, cast member Zaina stepped in to clarify their communication extended to holiday messages as well.

What does the future hold for Nick and Sandy post The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On?

For Nick, the show ultimately led to a period of self-reflection and positive change. He has since entered recovery and is reportedly dating someone new, suggesting a healthier chapter in his life.

Sandy, meanwhile, maintains that the experience, though difficult, served its purpose. Her participation achieved exactly what she'd hoped: clarity about her relationship, even if the answer wasn't what she initially expected.

The raw honesty displayed during the reunion, particularly from Sandy and Nick, demonstrated that while The Ultimatum may be a reality show, the emotions and life lessons it generates are likely real.

As the season closed, it became clear that sometimes getting the answers you're looking for doesn't necessarily mean getting the ending you expected.


The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On Season 3 is available to stream on Netflix.
