The drama is heating up on Freeform’s “Grand Cayman: Secrets in Paradise.”
Selita Ebanks tells Julian Foster how to handle a “messy” secret — one regarding their playboy castmate, Craig Jervis — in Page Six’s exclusive preview of Tuesday’s episode.
“I kinda feel like Craig should know,” Foster tells the former Victoria’s Secret Angel, though the specifics of the situation are unknown.
“But I don’t really know how to approach him or if I’m kind of even the one who should do it,” he adds.
Ebanks, for her part, thinks Foster should keep the information to himself.
“No,” she states in a matter-of-fact tone over lunch. “Listen, I hear a lot of stuff. I just be like, ‘Hmm.’”
The model elaborates that Jervis very well could be unnerved by Foster’s revelation rather than being appreciative of a heads-up.
“Sometimes people don’t take news like that. You think you’re being a caring friend and putting them on so that they could be in front of it,” she tells her pal.
“Instead, he could take it like, ‘Oh, you’re being messy.’”
In a confessional, Ebanks candidly explains that the issue involving Jervis reminds her of co-star Chelsea Flynn’s tumultuous relationship with her now-ex-fiancé, Tyson, with whom she shares a child.
“It just reminds me of Chelsea’s situation,” she tells the camera, seemingly referencing Tyson’s alleged infidelity. “Just because you catch a fish don’t mean you gotta reel it. Throw that s—t back.”

Ebanks warns Foster that stirring the pot could create serious problems within their social circle.
“You say one thing, it turns into a whole drama,” she admits in her confessional, predicting that a future group boat ride “could a little get ugly” should her friend spill the beans to Jervis.
Despite any potential problems sharing this secret could cause for Jervis, Foster still seems interested in meddling.
“I just feel like he should know,” he tells Ebanks.
Earlier this month, Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast caught up with Ebanks and Foster during a presser in the Caribbean, where they dished on their approaches to navigating the explosive nature of reality TV.
“Reality TV is a lot,” Ebanks told us. “And I think when you guys watch this show, you’re going to see exactly what I mean because there were moments where I was completely frazzled and had to check myself and say, ‘Girl, get it together.’”

Meanwhile, Foster had fun with it — even if his friendship with Elizabeth Chambers, the ex-wife of actor Armie Hammer, faced its fair share of challenges throughout production.
“She’s my friend, and I care about her,” he said of the Bird Bakery founder, who clashed with the majority of the cast.
“She’s an amazing mother, and she’s trying to take care of her kids, and she’s trying to open these businesses, and all at the same time, I’m trying to show my group of friends that she is actually a good person deep down.”
The unscripted series stars Ebanks, Foster, Jervis, Flynn and Chambers, who make up a part of an eclectic group of locals and expats — also including Courtney McTaggart, Aaron Bernardo, Cass Lacelle, Victoria Coleman, Trevor Coleman, Teri Bilewitch, Dillon Claassens and Connor Bunney.
“Grand Cayman: Secrets in Paradise” airs Tuesdays at 9:30 p.m. ET on Freeform, with new episodes available the next day on Hulu.
