Bachelor in Paradise is getting seriously geometric.

Love triangles, love squares, love lines, love dots, love shapes of all kinds are just popping up all over the place, just a few days into this season.

Other than Lace and Grant and Izzy and Vinny, most couples aren't all that solid. We'd put Amanda and Josh on that list too, but not everyone seems to agree.

Just last night, Nick and Amanda seemed totally into each other, no matter how hard Leah tried to interfere. After Leah's lonely departure, Nick's greatest rival, Josh Murray, made his grand entrance, and immediately locked his lips onto Amanda's lips and threw away the key.

Nick wasn't sure if the two of them were genuinely into each other, or if Josh was just there to steal his girl again, but either way, he wasn't happy with all the making out.

Meanwhile, Carly broke the news to Evan that she was just not into him, and after he cried a bit, he decided he was going to go after Amanda as well.

While that seems out of the blue and nonsensical, they did sort of have a connection back when they first arrived onto the beach, and we were into the idea of their modern Brady Bunch situation. But Amanda had clearly moved on, dude!

Evan's methods of seduction were…not great. He made up a date card, set up a little tree house date, and then…interrupted Josh and Amanda's make out session. Genius.

Then there was Sarah, who found herself drawn to new arrival Christian. They went on a lovely date, where she was "basically between his legs" while they ziplined, and found that when they returned, Daniel was very jealous.

After he gave his rose to Sarah the night before, he decided he truly felt something for her and wanted to get to know her more. So he arranged for a little mini date, and Sarah found herself conflicted.

Did she like the hot guy who seemed like good marriage material, or the weirdo who didn't want to kiss her for fear of giving her Zika virus?

And then there's Brandon and the twins.

Brandon, in case you forgot, which you definitely did, was apparently on Desiree's season. Not even Chris Harrison knew who he was, but he immediately took notice of one of the twins.

During his date with one of the twins, the twins switched places, hoping he'd notice and pass their test. Unfortunately, he hadn't a clue, so Brandon and whichever twin he thought he liked are probably not long for this world.

Of course, everything ended tonight with a big fat To Be Continued, so we'll have to wait to find out how Evan's ill-advised pursuit of Amanda ends up going. We're going to guess the answer is "badly."

Bachelor in Paradise airs Monday and Tuesday at 8 p.m. on ABC.
