Viewers will see 20-year-old Lucy accuse Sam of ruining their friendship, after she told her sister Billie during their trip to Marbella that she did not think Lucy's fiance Mario Falcone could be trusted.
And in the dramatic scenes, which will be shown on Sunday's opening episode, she confronts Sam - who has been banned from the party - while waiting outside the bash for new couple James Argent and Gemma Collins to arrive.
'You were my friend. And what you are doing now is completely ruining that,' Lucy tells her. 'Thanks for ruining our engagement party.'
There are also cross words exchanged between Lucy and Sam's boyfriend Joey Essex.
However the episode will also have its more light-hearted moments, with Lydia Bright confessing how smitten she is with new boyfriend Tom Kilbey.
She tells Lucy that he is 'amazing' and adds: 'He is just romantic and puts so much thought into everything. He is literally, like, perfect.'
Love is also in the air for Gemma and Arg, who tells Sam and Billie that he and his girl are 'like the new Posh and Becks'.
The series returns to ITV2 on Sunday night at 10pm.

Now the ladies of the Women's Institute join farmers in the great milk war against supermarkets - Daily Mail
By Valerie Elliott and Dana Gloger
|
The Women’s Institute yesterday joined Britain’s dairy farmers in their protests over milk prices.
WI members and farmers teamed up at rallies around the country as the Government agreed to meet milk producers for talks – and three major supermarket chains caved in to pressure and announced they would increase the prices they paid to suppliers.
Asda, Morrisons and the Co-oper-ative all raised their fees, which will be passed on to the dairy producers.

As dozens of members joined the protests, WI spokesman Kathleen Calvert said: ‘The police have been surprised by the number of women from rural areas, wives, daughters, aunties, grannies and many from the younger generation, who have joined the farmers.’
WI members demonstrated outside an Asda store in Colne, Lancashire, and at the Royal Welsh Agricultural Show in Builth Wells.
Their involvement comes amid a wave of rallies and blockades staged by farmers and their supporters across the country.
More than 700 people gathered outside the Robert Wiseman dairy in Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire, and there was a protest outside a plant in Foston, Derbyshire, last week.
Asda, Morrisons and the Co-oper-ative are seen by dairy farmers as the worst payers. Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose and Marks & Spencer have a pool of farmers providing milk, and the way they are paid makes sure all production costs are covered.

The pricing row erupted when four milk-processing companies announced they would be cutting the amount they paid farmers by up to 2p per litre. Supermarkets pay the processors to supply them with milk. Dairy producers reacted angrily, saying they were not getting enough to cover their costs – and the WI agreed.

As well as taking part in demonstrations, WI members have been speaking to shoppers to persuade them to buy milk in stores that pay the best prices to farmers. And its national board has launched a letter-writing campaign to support them.
Ms Calvert, from Clitheroe, Lancashire, who took part in the Colne protest yesterday, said: ‘Obviously we want people to buy milk but we want them to pay the right price.
‘Farmers put so much into milk production. They work all hours in freezing weather and get so little back. They feel undervalued and can’t afford to pay their bills.’
WI national chairman Ruth Bond said that the need among its members to protest was growing, saying: ‘Many WI members just don’t feel they can stand by and watch the dairy industry being decimated.
‘The threats to the industry are not just a problem for farmers but for every consumer. The protests have been effective in raising awareness. That can’t be a bad thing.’
A litre of milk costs at least 30p to produce, but many dairy farmers say they are being paid as little as 24p. Most are locked into 12-month contracts so cannot try to get better prices elsewhere.
Asda last night raised payments to 27.5p a litre, while Morrisons put its payments up to 31p a litre. The Co-operative Group increased its fee to 29p per litre.
NFU President Peter Kendall said he was encouraged that the supermarkets had taken action but added: ‘We need a long-term solution that addresses the need for a sustainable raw milk supply.’
Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman and Farming Minister Jim Paice will meet dairy farmers tomorrow to discuss the issue.

Hornets held by Stones (From Watford Observer) - Watford Observer
Mark Yeates scores as Watford draw second pre-season friendly at Wealdstone
5:04pm Saturday 21st July 2012 in Sport By Anthony Matthews
There were reasons for encouragement despite Watford having to settle for a second successive 1-1 draw against non-league opposition at Wealdstone.
Like in the draw at Boreham Wood in mid-week, Gianfranco Zola again chose to field a different line-up in each half but both played the same fluid formation when attacking, varying between 4-1-4-1 and 4-3-3.
Most of Watford’s best work came in a first half that saw Jonathan Hogg and Daniel Pudil catching the eye, with the latter setting up Mark Yeates to score.
Zola’s men kept possession well for periods, looking to vary the angle of attack, with numbers getting forward regularly in attack.
The visitors offered less of an attacking threat after the break and were pegged back by a Wes Parker header from a corner.
But the response to that setback was heartening, with Craig Forsyth, Chris Iwelumo and Matty Whichelow all going close to scoring the winner.
The Hornets created the first chance in the fifth minute when trialist Almen Abdi crossed well from the right but Joe Garner’s stretching header was straight at Rikki Banks.
But the visitors did make the breakthrough in fine fashion ten minutes later when Jonathan Hogg picked out Sean Murray with a fine pass and he in turn fed Pudil to his left. The trialist, who was looking to get forward at every opportunity, produced a good pull back and Yeates finished emphatically, beating Rikki Banks inside his near post.
The Hornets continued to play positively, retaining possession with numbers getting forward to support Garner, who was effectively the lone striker.
The forward managed to loop a header towards goal before Pudil popped up in a central position in the area but didn’t get enough on his header from a Murray cross.
Wealdstone then had two good chances and really should have been level.
First, Tom Pett stood up a cross from the left side of the area that although Rob Carrick had to stretch to get a foot to the ball, he would still have been disappointed not to hit the target after dragging his effort back across Jonathan Bond’s goal and wide of the far post.
Striker Peter Dean also looked set to trouble Bond when he connected well with a shot, only to see it hit a team-mate.
The Hornets had lost some of their earlier attacking momentum as the half drew to a close but Yeates, operating in a central role, curled a 25-yard free-kick narrowly wide as the Hornets kept their one-goal advantage at the break.
It was all change at half-time and hornets keeper Jack Bonham was in the action within 25 seconds of entering the fray and he immediately impressed, making a fine save to keep out Lee Chappell’s cross shot.
No sooner had Watford almost been pegged back, then they had a fine chance to double their advantage when Forsyth was played in but the opportunity was on his right foot and he dragged it wide.
The visitors had another opening in the 57th minute when Carl Dickinson’s low cross from the left was met by the stretching Whichelow, but he couldn’t generate power enough to beat Banks.
Wealdstone though, were enjoying more possession after the break and they had another opportunity when Chappell got up at the far post to connect with a cross from the right but could only find the side netting.
But the home side’s efforts were rewarded 13 minutes from time when Dean’s corner from the left was powered in by the head of skipper Parker at the far post.
However, the Hornets’ response to conceding was good. First, Whichelow had a shot from the right side of the area blocked before Forsyth went close with a stinging drive from outside the 18-yard box.
Iwelumo was closer still with a header following a cross from Dickinson, who did well after the break, and it was the left-back who nearly set up the winner with two minutes left.
The former Stoke City man’s break down the left ended with a low cross which Forsyth dummied to Whichelow, who did everything right but saw his low drive superbly kept out by Banks.
Wealdstone: Banks; Webb, Parker, Cronin, Chappell; Carrick (A Massey 46), Dyer (Brooks 46), O’Leary (Nicholas 46), Pett (Jordon 60); Dean, Stanislas (Field 73). Not used: Brewer, Papp and Poniskaitis.
Watford first half: Bond; Hodson, Eustace, Taylor, Pudil; Hogg; G Massey, Abdi, Yeates, Murray; Garner.
Watford second half: Bonham; Bennett, Nosworthy, Mirfin, Dickinson; Jenkins; Whichelow, Hamilton-Forbes, Mingoia, Forsyth; Iwelumo.

Chelmsford set for a thriller - SkySports
Essex and Hampshire are locked in an intriguing struggle for victory in their LV=County Championship battle at Chelmsford.
The home side were set 360 for victory and they go into the final day needing another 258 with eight wickets remaining.
Weather was the winner on Friday and Hampshire's first innings collapsed when play finally restarted.
They lost their remaining four wickets for 20 runs after resuming on 303-6, with Neil McKenzie's innings coming to an end on 139.
Graham Napier claimed two of the other wickets to finish with 4 62 and leave India spinner Harbhajan Singh to end the innings with the first wicket of his spell with the county.
There followed a pair of declarations with Essex scoring just 18 runs in 18 overs before Hampshire added 54 to their lead, McKenzie scoring 27 more runs.
That left Essex four and a half sessions to try and claim only their second victory of the summer, but they lost Jaik Mickleburgh for 18 with the score on only 25.
Tom Westley struck an entertaining 26 before falling to David Balcombe, but Billy Godleman dug in for 37 and put on 42 with Mark Pettini by the close to set up an exciting final day.
Day Two
Day two of Essex's match with Hampshire was abandoned without a ball being bowled due to rain.
The Essex players and umpires Steve Garratt and Mark Benson were already on the field waiting for play to start at 11am when the rain started and sent them back to the pavilion.
Head groundsman Stuart Kerrison wasted no time in covering the pitch and the surrounds but as the weather quickly deteriorated - with the rain becoming torrential at times - pools of water appeared on the outfield.
With no let-up in the rain, play was called off for the day at 1.40pm.
Essex have now lost 10 complete days of County Championship cricket when not a single ball was bowled and three of the county's last four days of Championship cricket have been wiped out by the weather.
Day one
Opener Neil McKenzie batted through the day has Hampshire enjoyed a profitable opening day of their Division Two clash with Essex at Chelmsford.
The 36-year-old South African reached stumps unbeaten on 134 having faced 270 balls and hit 13 boundaries - the 11th of which was a crisp cover drive to bring up his ton - as the visitors closed the day on 303-6.
Sean Ervine was his main accomplice and they added 110 in 28 overs to steady Hampshire after they had stuttered to 106-4.
Ervine hit seven fours in his innings of 55, which was ended when he played on to David Masters (2-52), easily the pick of the Essex bowlers.
Michael Bates then added 27 in a sixth-wicket stand of 72 before he gloved a Graham Napier delivery to wicketkeeper Adam Wheater.
Essex had enjoyed a good morning, with Bilal Shafayat (31), Simon Katich (5) falling in quick succession to leave Hampshire 70-3 at lunch.
But no one could remove McKenzie and he duly punished them - Wheater just failing to hold on to a high chance off Napier before the close.
