According to HollywoodLife, Erika decides to take Stephanie to go throw boomerangs as this is a common fun activity of Australian culture. She takes Stephanie to a man named Roy who is from the Northern Flinders Rangers.

“Today I’m taking steps to go and see that a guy that makes some boomerangs because I really want to show her a little bit of Australian culture,” Erika says. “And what American doesn’t want to throw a boomerang when they come to Australia?

The two different types of boomerangs that Roy shows Erika and Stephanie are come-back and hunting. Stephanie offers to throw one and during her conversation with Roy, the subject is brought up of what brought Stephanie to a place like Port Augusta. She explained how she just wanted to go see Erika. Roy asks if Erika is her friend and Stephanie then replied that she's a "special friend." When Stephanie was on camera explaining what she meant by that, she added that she doesn't know what Roy's beliefs are.

“I don’t really know what his beliefs are. I really just don’t want to get into a really weird discussion with this man," explained Stephanie. "I kind of just want to focus on the tasks at hand.”

When Erika initially heard the "special friend" comment, she simply laughed at it. It's hard to tell if this was to just shrug this off or if she simply didn't care about the comment. It's sad that we are still in a world where people may still be judged on the type of person they decided to date. Sexual preference shouldn't matter. We will see how everything unfolds on April 26.
