With the theme being flowers, Daniel cut some from his garden and handed them to Ingrid-Rose after seeing Desmond present Kristy with a bouquet. Next, Kristy sprayed the perfume on herself and stated:

"I love this fragrance because it's so feminine."

Ingrid-Rose, who didn't have the expensive perfume, held a bottle of body spray and told people online:

"I like it because I can afford it."

After discovering that there wasn't much spray in the bottle, the mother of one burst into laughter, prompting her husband to jokingly say:

"We're like the Temu version."
