She decides to pick Chris and Luis, but how will Callum react?<\/p>\n<p>Later that evening, the boys gather round in the bedroom to discuss their game plans for the evening, with Luis admitting that his sights are firmly set on Molly, to which Callum awkwardly says \u201cyeah\u201d to.<\/p>\n<p>Mitch then says he wants to chat to Demi and Liberty but adds, looking at Callum: \u201cAnd then, depending if I\u2019ve got time, I would like to talk to your ex-girlfriend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The boys laugh and Chris admits \u201cthere\u2019s a queue for Molly\u201d.
