On March 13, 2025, Netflix introduced the fourth episode of Love is Blind: Sweden, titled Just Want to Escape. This episode highlighted the exciting first getaway for several newly engaged couples: Niklas and Karin, Wictor and Nathalie, Ola and Milly, Oscar and Alicia, as well as Jakob and Karolina. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Crete, the couples navigated the complexities of their relationships while vacationing together.
The episode commenced with Milly eagerly anticipating her first face-to-face meeting with Ola since their engagement. In a heartfelt confessional, Milly described her feelings, stating that she was “truly in love”. She noted that Ola was the only person who had ignited those elusive “butterflies”within her from the very beginning.
Conversely, Ola reflected on their journey so far, characterizing the experience as a “crazy experiment”and suggested that fate perhaps played a role in their union. Upon finally meeting, the couple embraced warmly, and Ola surprised Milly by proposing to her once more on bended knee.
Amidst these romantic developments, Alicia expressed her burgeoning feelings for Oscar, admitting she wanted to stay “close”to him constantly. Jakob, on the other hand, articulated his joy at finally meeting Karolina, while Karolina herself confessed to initially feeling a disconnect with the other contestants, admitting that none appeared to be her “type”, including Jakob.
Initial Impressions from the Couples in Crete
As the couples gathered in Crete, their initial impressions outside the Love is Blind: Sweden pods were unveiled. Alicia was quick to share her deep feelings for Oscar, proclaiming that she truly felt in love and acknowledging that “Oscar’s got the whole package”.
Oscar reciprocated the sentiment, elaborating on their harmonious connection, with Alicia’s passionate nature beautifully balancing his more subdued demeanor. Meanwhile, during their first group meeting, Wictor, who previously connected with Milly, reflected on their interactions as being “special”. In a confessional, Karolina expressed her uncertainty about her bond with Jakob, noting that he wasn’t the typical type she would pursue.
“I would say that he probably isn’t the most physically, in terms of looks, although I really hate to say that, but it’s not that I’m not attracted to him, he isn’t the sort of guy I typically look for,”she admitted.
Host Jessica checked in with the couples about their first night together, leading to a candid discussion about their varying levels of comfort. Wictor and Nathalie acknowledged their growing closeness, with Nathalie stating their connection felt “natural”.
Examining Past and Current Connections
Throughout this episode, Milly and Oscar revisited their past connection from the pods. Milly remarked that Oscar had “expressed himself in ways no one else had”, while Oscar revealed his desire to “win”Milly’s affection, though he acknowledged that Ola was strongly focused on her.
“You swept me off my feet so much that I really didn’t know how to respond to that,”Milly confided to Oscar.
In parallel, Karolina and Jakob delved into discussions about their emotional ties. Karolina admitted that no previous partner had validated her feelings to such an extent, but she was concerned about not reciprocating in the same way, feeling it was all progressing a bit swiftly. She expressed her apprehension about hurting Jakob or leading him to misunderstand her sentiments, emphasizing the importance of allowing their relationship to evolve naturally.
Jakob responded positively to her honesty, prioritizing their future together. Later, Karolina confided in Nathalie about her initial struggles, yet noted that shared experiences were drawing her closer to Jakob.
With just 32 days remaining until their weddings, the couples were immersed in adapting to their new reality outside the pods, testing both their emotional and physical bonds in this new setting.
