Spoilers for Love is Blind season 8 episodes 1 through 9 ahead. 

Many Love is Blind couples have a quirk that will define them in the Netflix reality show’s canon (hopefully one based more on cute similarities than drama). Of season 8’s Minnesota-based cast, 32-year-old colonoscopy nurse Taylor Haag and 30-year-old sales account exec Daniel Hastings were quickly dubbed the Christmas couple, as their shared love of the holiday fueled their sight-unseen romance in the pods. By the time they got engaged, Daniel and Taylor were solidly among season 8’s most meant-to-be couples… until an episode 6 cliffhanger teased that their connection wasn’t as wholesome as it seemed.

In case you’re behind on Love Is Blind season 8 or need to catch up on the first nine episodes before your next watch party, here’s a quick refresher on all things about Taylor and Daniel’s relationship—and whether they may still be together after the show.

What happened between Taylor and Daniel in ‘Love is Blind’ season 8?

Taylor and Daniel technically have the fastest proposal on record in Love is Blind history… if you count self-proclaimed short king Daniel jokingly getting down on one knee during their first pod date. The pair get along great from the start, and their dates go well, though unfortunately Taylor loses her voice after the first day. She’s a Christmas stan who once fit four trees into a one-bedroom apartment, so she’s totally down to dress up as Mrs. Claus for his over-the-top annual Christmas cards. He’s willing to get a matching lip tattoo of his favorite fast-food (her Taco Bell, him Chick-fil-A.)

They’re also very compatible and supportive with the deep stuff. Taylor admires Daniel’s relationship with his sister, who was born blind, and she says she feels very “at home” when she talks to him. Meanwhile, when Taylor shares that she may have to leave the pods to see her dad, who has cancer, Daniel says that he would find her in the real world. She replies, “I’ve been waiting for you to find me.”

While Daniel seems very sure of Taylor from the start, Taylor’s admittedly a big overthinker. She mentions a few times that she’d had doubts of whether she would find her person, and she expresses a fear that Daniel’s too good to be true. However, she points out how secure he makes her feel, so it seems that these thoughts only pop up during downtime in the lounge.

In their penultimate date, they open up about their body-image issues and their thoughts on social media (more on that later). Taylor and Daniel also share meaningful gifts about, what else, Christmas. Taylor already owns the exact scarf that Daniel gifts her, and she gives Daniel one of her mom’s homemade Christmas ornaments. After, Daniel says that he and Taylor were “meant to find each other,” as they both begin to cry.

Finally, in episode 6, the future Mr. and Mrs. Claus read romantic letters to each other. Daniel recalls getting down on one knee for their first date, and Taylor says, “I knew something incredible was waiting for me on the other side before I even opened the door.” As Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours” plays, Daniel goes on one knee again, and asks Taylor to marry him, as she responds yes.
