Following Annie's eviction, the BB Queen were already informed that one out of the first four evicted girls would return. In Part I of the returnee competition, the public was allowed to vote who the want to return the most, and the majority voted for JoJo, which allowed her to advance to Part III. Kara, receiving the lowest amount of votes, was out of it. In Part II, the determining factor was overall popularity against all the girls, and Annie was the least popular one, which got her eliminated as well. In the final round, between JoJo and Kaitlin - JoJo fought hard, and she earned her spot back in the house. By returning, she received safety from nominations for the entire week.
The HOH competition followed shortly after, and Kathy came out on top, becaming the new HOH.
At the HOH Ceremony, Kathy explained, "OK, my nominations are Jessie and Cassi. No speech, I don't need to do all that."
At POV, Kathy proved she's able to win competitions by winning the POV. With that, she chose to keep her initial nominations the same, explaining "OK, I've made my decision. So, basically all I have to say is, I'm not changing these nominations, because Jessie, you're annoying, and Cassi, you're friends with her."
