Now that we know which couples end up together [2] and which don't on "Love Is Blind" season two [3], it's time for the reunion. Following the reality show's season finale, Netflix announced that a reunion special will drop on March 4.

According to Entertainment Tonight, [4] the episode will include all of the featured couples: Deepti Vempati and Shake Chatterjee, Natalie Lee and Shayne Jansen, Danielle Ruhl and Nick Thompson, Iyanna McNeely and Jarrette Jones, Shaina Hurley and Kyle Abrams, and Mallory Zapata and Salvador Perez. A photo obtained by ET suggests that Lee finally gets to confront Hurley about comments she made to Jansen about their relationship.

In a clip, which dropped on March 2, Jansen and Lee have an emotional conversation about the incident that ultimately ended their relationship. "You're kind of like pushing it under the rug and making it seem almost like the words that I used — like, they just didn't come out of nowhere," Jansen says to Lee. "OK, you haven't apologized, kinda like your side of the story. You haven't owned up to, like, kind of like, you know, so it was 100 percent my fault?" Lee responds, "I'm not putting the blame on you by any means. I understand that that anger came out from somewhere — obviously, something I've done to you or have like, pushed you to that point."

On March 3, Netflix released another clip of the cast and hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey confronting Chatterjee about his remarks around physical attraction. "We all have our physical preferences," Chatterjee says. "Listen, every woman here is beautiful. I think you're all beautiful. I'm not attracted to all of you. The point is it's not a choice . . . you don't choose; it's nature, baby. We're animals. We're animals."

The reunion will also give viewers an update on the couples' lives since the show ended. Did any of them reconcile? Did any of them break up? Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
