Summary

Netflix released Love Is Blind Season 11 episodes 6–8 on Oct. 21, including Jax Guelli and Scott ‘Stew’ Stewart’s post-pods meeting in Boston.
Jax acknowledged that Stew deserved a conversation after she ended their engagement and left the experiment following their reveal.
The two discussed whether to try again, but the episode’s account and independent recaps say they parted as friends rather than reviving the relationship.
This resolves the new-episode cliffhanger, not the season’s overall outcome; episodes 9–11 are scheduled for Oct. 28, with the finale and reunion still ahead.

The cliffhanger gets an answer

The latest Love Is Blind: Boston episodes turned a brief end-of-episode tease into a full conversation between Scott “Stew” Stewart and Jacqueline “Jax” Guelli. Netflix released episodes 6–8 on Wednesday, Oct. 21, and its official Season 11 status update says the pair met in Boston in Episode 6. The exchange follows their engagement in the pods and Jax’s abrupt departure after their first face-to-face reveal.^{[1] [2] [5]}

Jax tells Stew that she regrets leaving without speaking to him and explains that the prospect of testing their connection in person overwhelmed her. She says friends and family encouraged her to reconsider, but the episode does not present her as newly certain about the relationship: she remains unsure whether their chemistry is enough and raises the possibility that friendship may fit them better.^{[1] [2] [5]}

An apology, not a renewed engagement

Stew, in turn, challenges Jax’s account of the gap between the reveal and their filmed meetup, saying he had tried to see her earlier and felt she had not made much effort. Boston.com’s recap describes the restaurant conversation as uncomfortable and circular, but reports that the two ultimately appeared to agree they were better off as friends. Cosmopolitan’s episode-by-episode status tracker likewise lists them as split after the reunion, rather than as a couple continuing toward the altar.^{[3] [4]}

The meeting therefore answers the immediate question raised at the end of Episode 5: they did reconnect, but the new footage does not show them restarting their engagement or traveling with the other couples. It also changes the emphasis of the story from the reveal’s Mitt Romney-versus-Kennedy joke to the mismatch in how each person experienced the breakup. These are the participants’ and recappers’ descriptions of an edited reality series, not independent evidence about what either person privately felt.^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}

Season still in progress

Netflix’s release calendar lists Episodes 9–11 for Oct. 28, Episode 12 for Nov. 4, and the Season 11 reunion for Nov. 8. The Stew-and-Jax storyline appears settled for the newly released installment, but it should not be described as the season’s final relationship update: more episodes and the reunion remain unaired as of Oct. 22. Netflix’s own episode guide also distinguishes the pair’s post-pods meeting from the five couples who continued to the Mexico trip and shared-apartment phase.^{[1] [2]}

The most precise update is that Jax and Stew have closed the loop on their short-lived engagement by meeting and apologizing, then parting on a friendship footing in the episodes now streaming. Whether the show revisits them later remains unconfirmed in the sources reviewed; Netflix’s published schedule confirms the next release dates, not a further appearance by the pair.^{[1] [2] [3]}
