Things are heating up in the upcoming episode of MTV's The Challenge: Free Agents; but most of the drama takes place outside of the intense challenges.

CT Threatens To Punch Jordan?

In the upcoming episode slated to air Thursday, Laurel has to decide which teammate to keep and while Cara Maria thinks she's a shoe-in, Laurel made it very clear she has other plans.

Laurel told Cara Maria who she was up against and said, "Johnny Bananas has come to me to ask me to help him, Jessica, Johnny and Devyn has."

Ladies FIght Over Dustin?

Cara Maria must have felt the pressure because she took a jab at her competitors before she reminded Laurel that she snagged her first.

"That's crazy. I can only imagine how annoying that is...Good thing I got to you first."

That's when Laurel revealed that Cara Maria isn't her only choice. Jessica and Devyn were also options. But she had good reason.

"I promised Devyn...And Jessica has been like...nice the entire time."

But while she confirmed that Cara Maria had nothing to worry about and she wasn't going to send her home, Laurel expressed her frustrations and let Cara Maria know she was being "annoying."

"You don't get it. You don't understand. Like, you don't follow what I'm saying. You're annoying, don't speak."

That didn't set well with Cara Maria who felt that Laurel went too far.

"You don't act like that toward anyone. Especially your best friend. It's just ugly, Laurel. Like, you look ugly."

The Challenge: Free Agents airs Thursdays at 10/9c on VH1.
