Season 3[]
Laurie began the trip with her two oldest friends, Jaclyn and Kate. She seemed thrilled to be there but also emotionally vulnerable as she drank a lot and felt jealousy of her friends. She felt betrayed by Jaclyn’s behavior, especially when it came to Valentin, and lashed out at both Jaclyn and Kate, accusing them of being selfish and fake. Hurt and disillusioned, Laurie distanced herself from the group and went off on her own one night, where she hung out with Valentin's friend Aleksei. They shared an intimate night together, but it quickly unraveled when Aleksei asked her for a large sum of money under suspicious pretenses. The situation escalated with the arrival of Aleksei’s partner, leading to a chaotic escape that left Laurie humiliated but safe. Eventually, Laurie rejoined Jaclyn and Kate, opened up about her emotional state, and emphasized the importance of their years of friendship—ending the trip with a sense of reconciliation and emotional clarity.
