Love Is Blind S10 Episodes 7–9 (Feb 18) — Switch-Ups, Breakups & Red Flags
Love Is Blind Season 10 Episode 7–9 Recap: The Switch-Ups, Breakups, and Biggest Red Flags
Last updated: February 9, 2026
Heads up: as of February 9, 2026, Episodes 7–9 haven’t dropped yet. Netflix releases them on February 18, 2026—so consider this a spoiler-aware pre-recap: what the honeymoon batch usually reveals, what the trailer is already warning us about, and the loudest rumored shake-ups floating around online. Once the episodes are live, you can swap in your scene-by-scene notes under the Episode 7/8/9 sections.
When do Love Is Blind Season 10 Episodes 7–9 come out?
Netflix’s rollout puts the honeymoon batch right in the middle of the season: Episodes 1–6 (pods + engagements) drop first, then Episodes 7–9 land together on Wednesday, February 18, 2026.
- Feb 11, 2026: Episodes 1–6
- Feb 18, 2026: Episodes 7–9
- Feb 25, 2026: Episodes 10–11
- Mar 4, 2026: Episode 12 (finale)
Why Episodes 7–9 are where the “pod love” meets real life
The pods are basically an emotional pressure cooker: you’re bonding through conversation, imagination, and constant attention. Episodes 7–9 are where the fantasy gets stress-tested—usually via travel, group meet-ups, and the first sustained stretch of 24/7 time together. That’s why this batch tends to deliver the most:
- Switch-ups: second-guessing after seeing other couples (and other options) in person.
- Breakups: “I can’t do this” moments when attraction, values, or lifestyle don’t click off-camera.
- Red flags: the stuff you can’t talk your way out of—temper, jealousy, control issues, avoidant behavior.
Season 10 being set in Ohio also adds a twist: the cast is statewide rather than one city, which can surface practical friction fast (distance, routines, social circles, and how “settled” each person already is).
The switch-ups: the moment “my #1” becomes “my… maybe?”
The trailer chatter around Season 10 already hints at a classic honeymoon-batch trap: someone starts talking out loud about what life could’ve looked like with their “number two” from the pods. Whether it’s said as a confession, a threat, or a “just being honest” moment, it tends to detonate trust—fast.
In Episodes 7–9, watch for switch-ups that look like this:
- Comparison spirals: “They’re so easy together… why aren’t we?”
- Pod amnesia: rewriting the relationship story the second conflict appears.
- Flirting disguised as closure: “I just needed to talk to them one more time.”
- Production-friendly honesty: the kind that’s technically truthful but emotionally cruel.
The breakups: what the honeymoon batch is most likely to break
The most common Episodes 7–9 breakup pattern is brutally simple: one person is trying to “make it work,” and the other is quietly trying to “make it end” without looking like the villain. That gap creates the worst kind of scenes—confusing, circular, and oddly cold.
Spoiler rumors to know before Episodes 7–9
Online spoiler reporting has claimed that multiple couples get engaged this season, but not all of them make it to the Mexico honeymoon portion—and that at least one engagement ends quickly after the proposal phase. There are also rumors involving a love triangle and at least one connection that breaks off off-camera.
Treat these as unconfirmed until the episodes air (and/or Netflix clarifies on-screen).
Biggest red flags checklist for Episodes 7–9
If you only track one thing during the honeymoon batch, track this: How someone behaves when they feel insecure. That’s where the real compatibility lives.
- “Testing” behavior: flirting, withholding affection, or picking fights to see if the other person begs.
- Controlling language: telling someone what they can wear, who they can talk to, or how they “should” feel.
- Public shaming: turning group events into a stage for private grievances.
- Scorekeeping: “After everything I’ve done for you…” in week one is a huge warning sign.
- Future-faking: intense promises (“forever,” “soulmate,” “my wife/husband”) with zero follow-through.
- Sudden value conflicts: kids, religion, money, and politics surfacing as “surprises.”
- Aggressive defensiveness: rage, sarcasm, or contempt instead of curiosity during conflict.
- Refusing repair: no apology, no accountability, no attempt to soothe—just “that’s how I am.”
What Reddit theories say about this (and why Reddit is usually right about the red flags)
Reddit tends to clock patterns faster than any recap site because it crowdsources the same three questions over and over:
- Is this person consistent?
- Are they kind under stress?
- Do they listen—or just wait to talk?
With the Ohio setting, Reddit’s already split between “Midwest nice might mean fewer clout-chasers” and “Ohio is going to be chaos.” Either way, the honeymoon episodes will tell you which is true within 15 minutes of the first resort fight.
