Fransway had recently relocated from Los Angeles to New York City to move in with Martin after dating for about a year.

Hubbard Questions the Move Without a Ring

While some cast members saw the cross-country move as romantic, Hubbard expressed concern.

She argued that moving across the country without an engagement ring represents a massive commitment from a woman's perspective.

Cast member Gavin Moseley noted that Fransway brings out the best in Martin, though he mentioned Martin had previously slowed the relationship down.

Moseley explained the context of Martin's mindset during that period.

"She brings the best out in him. Like, we've traveled a bunch.

They don't fight," Moseley said.

Martin acknowledged that the relationship timeline adjusted while he coped with a personal family tragedy.

"My mother was passing. I went through a very challenging time.

I maybe wasn't the best version of myself to come out of that," Martin said.

He elaborated on the current status of his relationship with Fransway as they navigate their new living arrangement.

"Honestly, though, we're just kind of like seeing where this goes. Like, we love each other.

She's a f—ing doll," Martin said.

Tension Escalates at the Bar

Hubbard criticized the casual approach to the relationship.

"She moved across the country before the ring. I think from a girl's perspective, it is a lot," Hubbard said.

When Fransway joined the group at the bar, Hubbard openly admitted to questioning Martin about the lack of formal commitment in front of the other cast members.

"Come join us," Hubbard said. "We're just grilling Kenny.

Meaning I'm grilling Kenny. I'm saying it's a big commitment to move across the country for a guy."

Hubbard continued to pressure Martin, reiterating her stance that a major geographical relocation requires a significant underlying commitment.

"I said to Kenny that...

In order for you to move across the entire country without a commitment such as a ring, it's a very big deal.

You can't f— around with this," Hubbard said.

The conversation grew tense as Martin responded to the critical questioning.

"I'm getting I hate men vibes," Martin said.

Hubbard concluded the exchange by clarifying her stance on the behavior of men in relationships.

"I'm just allergic to, like, annoying men," Hubbard said.
