The quartet didn't say much about what happens in the new episode, but Newton, who plays the character Hannah, said in a TikTok video that her character is "on a mission, and she's gonna defend you in the court of law if she passes her LSAT and if she makes it out of this cruise alive."

Jackson also shared a TikTok video from the set of the show, saying that she plays the character Nessa, one of the "vixen girls."

Lawrence, in a separate video, said she plays Victoria in the new show and shared her excitement.

Several photos of the stars were released ahead of the episode, with Phillippe in a pink bikini top, which appeared to be a nod to her mom's iconic "Legally Blonde" character, Elle Woods.

A description for this week's episode reads, "Spring break hits The Odyssey as three college 'vixens' set their sights on Max. Meanwhile, Tristan faces his drinking problem while other passengers' struggles keep the medical team on their toes."
