Ilebaye has made an appearance once again as an unexpected source of relationship wisdom, offering guidance on pursuing romantic interests and resolving conflicts among some of the housemates.
One of the most remarkable instances of Ilebaye's newfound role as a relationship advisor occurred when she provided counsel to the evicted housemate, Uriel. The context was a budding romantic interest between Uriel and Neoenergy. Seeking advice from Ilebaye, Uriel initially expressed hesitation about making a move on Neoenergy. The concept of a woman pursuing a man seemed unconventional to Uriel, but Ilebaye quickly dispelled any doubts, encouraging her to take the initiative.

Angel found herself receiving Ilebaye's counsel in the wake of a relationship-damaging incident involving her partner, Soma. Following a pool and grill party, Soma's handling of Angel crossed boundaries set by Biggie. The resultant tension between Angel and Soma was palpable for Angel, prompting Ilebaye to step in as an unlikely mediator. Their conversation in the kitchen saw Ilebaye advising Angel to address the issue directly with Soma.
Acting on this advice, Angel confronted Soma and expressed her concerns, particularly in light of her past experiences with an abusive relationship. Soma reciprocated by sharing his own history of abuse, leading to a deep and emotional conversation that seemed to heal the rift between them.
