Do you know where he is?
I know what I need to do.
No one should tell me how I feel.
It's not right.
Tennis turn, 47 down.
Oh, hey!
Is Sam in here? Do you guys know where he is?
- Uh... - He's in his room.
- What? - My heart stopped for a second.
It was like seeing-- I was like...
It's a new week, and this week, we are in Seattle.
We're back in the US.
I've never been to Seattle before.
Seattle is known as the Emerald City,
and it's because it's green here year round,
so it's beautiful here.
Hello, Seattle!
ALL: Jenn!
Back to the States.
JENN: Last week in New Zealand,
I was able to break down my walls with the guys.
I felt so seen by each and every one of them.
But next week is hometowns.
I can see my future with all of them.
So it's all about figuring out who those four guys
are going to be, that I'm going to meet
their families next week.
Like, it scares me because I'm going to send
home a really strong connection.
It's probably going to be one of the hardest decisions yet.
It's not going to be easy.
On Joey's season, I was sent home the week
before hometowns, and at that time,
I know all the feelings I had, and I can only imagine
where these guys are at now, and so that's why this week
is going to be so hard for me, is because these are
serious relationships at this point.
I think I just want to talk to someone who's done this before.
- Oh, my goodness. - Oh, my goodness.
Charity's been the Bachelorette.
She's found love in this same journey, and that's what I want.
I hope that I can get some really good advice from Charity.
I've been dying to talk to you, actually.
- Yes. - Please.
Okay, well, I just want to see, like,
how you're holding up with everything
because I know it's a lot. - Yeah, I mean, like,
Hometowns is next week.
- Oh, my gosh. - I just don't want to make
the wrong decision. - CHARITY: I know.
It's always going to be like a what if a little bit.
- Yeah. - Which is hard.
It's hard to come to terms with. - Like, how did you discern
like what you needed from certain people,
like, you know? - Yeah, I literally had
a list of everyone's names, and like every week
when I would talk to them, I would write down something
else that was like a quality that, you know,
that they brought. - That's smart.
I should have done that. - It's okay.
You still have time. - [ laughs ]
So when I like would reflect, I had to, like,
look deeper at like things that I wanted.
And then what do I need from them?
I do still have seven guys here.
- Okay. - And to, like, have to dwindle
that down to four is honestly really,
really hard for me.
- Let's do it, boys. - Oh, it's the needle.
Oh, whoa! Look at that.
CHARITY: Do you feel like any of
the guys are, like, holding back?
I think Sam's holding back a little bit.
He does remind me a lot of, like, my previous.
Like, guys I've gone for, in a sense, where we had, like,
this physical connection, and I think there's more to be,
like, explored with, like, emotionally.
Is this just, like, physical? Like, what is it?
And I think that's maybe the part that is scaring me.
Then there's Jeremy. - Okay.
Jeremy is someone who I laugh with nonstop.
Like, I feel like 110% myself with him.
Like, we have the same exact sense of humor.
- Yeah. - But I don't know if
there's going to be more there.
- Yeah. - Um, Marcus is holding
back a little bit. - CHARITY: You think?
I think he's expressed that it's hard for him to be
vulnerable, which makes me want to hold back a little bit, too.
But I do agree. Like, this week is huge,
and I want to feel confident in giving out these roses
and knowing that there is a future there.
Yeah. Do you, like, see yourself at the end of it,
like being engaged?
I do really feel like I can get there with some
of those guys, and I'm excited for it.
Like, I'm more excited than I am nervous.
It's going to be super worth it.
And I'm so happy. - I'm so excited.
- Give me a hug. - Yes. Thank you so much.
Thank you.
- Whoa! - Oh, here we are.
MARCUS: We are in the Emerald City, my old stomping grounds.
So it's kind of a full circle moment to to come back with,
like, a full heart and the prospect of love with Jenn.
This is better than anything that I could have ever
dreamt up for myself.
- What does it look like? - Oh!
- Nice!
So cool!
GRANT: The hotel, it's beautiful.
You know, it's like an old school, like, classic vibe.
Oh, I'm so excited. This is going to be the town
where I find out if I'm going to hometowns or not.
I know I'm falling for Jenn, so I cannot wait to see whatever
dates I'm on this week with Jenn.
Pressure's on, boys. A rose this week means
she wants to meet your family.
I feel like we're in an area now where everything is intimate.
Obviously that's what I want, but man, this week,
I'm really just looking forward to,
you know, I can bring her back home to mom and pops
and the rest of my family and stuff.
Just excited for this week, man.
SAM M: It's super exciting to know that Jenn is going to come
home to hopefully meet my family and the people that I love.
Yeah, now it's just one of those things
about being selfish with time.
So, you know, obviously I want the one on one.
So obviously everybody wants to be the one that gets that
one on one time with Jenn.
But I think with Sam, he's a cocky guy,
and I've always known that there is something
different about him, and I know that he's just
not right for Jenn, and everybody's entitled
to their own opinion, and I have my own opinion.
- [ knock on door ] - Hey, got a date card.
JEREMY: I know I haven't had the one on one yet.
Saving the best for last.
It might just be delusion at this point, but I feel--
I still feel like there's something strong
between me and Jenn, so I'm expecting
to get a one on one.
- Oh. - Whoa! Whoa!
What the hell?
"Marcus, let's find love in Emerald City.
Love, Jenn." - Okay.
Very excited. I'm dying to see what's inside of that box.
I just had my name called for another one on one.
Feeling on top of the world.
I think that Jenn and I could be great for each other.
- Oh, God. - Ooh!
It's a letterman.
Yeah. What do you guys think it means?
- Oh, bro. - I haven't worn one of these
since high school, man.
No idea what the letterman jacket is for, but, uh,
I'm buzzing right now.
[ laughter ]
If I get a rose tonight, that means that Jenn
will be meeting my family,
and that is the biggest deal to me.
Because without them, I'm nothing.
So like it's crucial.
But my only fear would be kind of getting in my own way
and kind of keeping up a guard and getting sent home.
I think sometimes the scariest thing that you can do is, like,
open yourself up to the possibility of love.
I feel like I'm, like, bracing for impact right now.
You're like, "Oh, relax." But you're like--
but what if I get hurt?
Today's my first one on one date here in Seattle.
And it's going to be with Marcus.
It is our second one on one date together,
and this is huge for us.
Like, I have so many feelings for him.
And we have a strong connection,
but Marcus tends to hold back a little bit.
You know, next week is hometowns,
and if we can't push past that, I think it would be
detrimental to our relationship.
I want to keep growing and moving forward.
So the stakes are high today.
- Hello. - [ Jenn laughs ]
- I'm so excited. - Nice jacket.
MARCUS: Today is so important to me.
Having my name called for this second one on one,
the timing couldn't be more perfect.
So today's a big deal for me.
- I missed you. - Missed you, too.
Good. Okay, well, I have a little special surprise for you.
- I'm ready. - [ bell ringing ]
[ laughs ]
Jesse!
JENN: Hi! Look at this jacket.
We kind of match a little bit.
We do match. Welcome to Seattle, you two.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Well, let's talk about your date today.
Today is all about the magical road to love.
And I'm sure you both know by now
the journey is the best part, and since we're here
in beautiful Seattle, also known as the Emerald City,
I thought it would be so much fun to celebrate
the new movie Wicked,
which hits theaters this Thanksgiving.
The movie is all about love, it's about adventure,
and it's also about understanding
someone's true character.
All of very important parts of today's date.
JENN: I've seen the musical Wicked.
For me personally, what I love about it is the idea
that there's so much more to a person than what meets the eye.
And today with Marcus, I want to be able to see
if our relationship can continue to grow.
So what do you say?
- Let's do it. - Let's do it.
All right. Let's get your adventure started.
Whoo!
MARCUS: I do feel a little guarded still.
Jenn has definitely encouraged me
to open up and to be vulnerable.
I missed you.
- [ bell rings ] - Whoo!
MARCUS: I struggle to let people in my life.
But for Jenn, all I want to do is try
to be open to the possibility of being vulnerable
and, you know, finding love.
Now it's time for the two of you to begin your own adventure.
Here we go.
[ upbeat music plays ]
Whoa! [ laughs ]
MARCUS: These big green curtains open.
And in front of Jenn and I are Kelsey and Daisy.
And there's a yellow brick road, and yeah, I still have no idea
what's happening.
- [ laughter ] - Oh, my God!
- How's it going? - Nice to meet you.
Daisy and Kelsey are here.
I could not be happier to see them.
You know, they're two people who I got to know
really close on Joey's season, and to have them a part
of this journey means so much.
Jenn and Marcus, we're so excited
to be here on your love journey.
You know that I found the love of my life on this same journey.
I know that you're going to find yours very soon.
Me and Kelsey did find an unexpected friendship.
Much like Glinda and Elphaba from Wicked.
And along this yellow brick road,
you're gonna find a bunch of surprises from me and Kelsey.
At each stop, you'll have to be honest with your preferences,
but make a final decision together, because that's what
a relationship is all about.
So good luck.
- And have fun! - And have fun!
- Thank you. Awesome. - Have fun!
Love you.
Kelsey and Daisy let us know that finding
and falling in love is all about choices and compromise.
Which one do you want to pick? I know which one I want.
I know which one I want to pick.
And they set us on the task to do exactly that.
- Three, two, one... - Three, two, one...
- Spicy. - Spicy. [ laughs ]
- Easy, easy. - Okay. Open it.
Alright. Oh, wait. Oh, no.
- Oh! Come on. - [ laughs ]
We had this fun little game set up for Jenn
where they're going on this little journey
and picking between opposites.
One of them is sweet and spicy.
- Oh. - [ groans ]
Is that not burning your mouth?
[ laughter ]
Marcus, he seems like a really great guy.
And they look really great together.
I can't believe you're not dying. This is so unfair.
DAISY: I think Jenn and Marcus have a lot of chemistry.
They seem very, like, complementary to each other.
MARCUS: So I feel like scream is where I'm at.
JENN: I like it.
"Scream your feelings..."
I like Jenn!
JENN: I feel like a real couple with Marcus
going down the yellow brick road and making decisions.
Little playful action. I like it.
What does that mean? [ laughs ]
You're gonna need that.
Hey!
Marcus and I have a really, really good, playful side
in our relationship together.
Come on. Oh!
I know it was playful, but jumping on to Marcus
on this pile of pillows feels pretty passionate right now.
Okay, that was enough playful time.
When I woke up today, I did not think that
I would be making out with Jenn on top of a mountain
of pink pillows.
On to the next one? - Yeah.
MARCUS: You know, I think this is the perfect date for
Jenn and I because life is a journey
and it's full of difficult choices.
And I think that we're definitely off
to a strong start.
JENN: All right. Slow or fast?
- Slow? - Fast.
- Slow? - I think typically.
- Typically you're slow? - In relationships.
Yeah, I think I take a while to, to warm up.
- Okay. - Yeah.
Between going fast or going slow, I pick slow
because when I let someone into my life, that decision is
like a permanent decision, for better or worse,
which is scary.
- I'm a fast girl. - Okay.
- You got to keep up. - I want to try it out.
- Okay. - Okay, let's do it.
JENN: That's concerning.
Marcus, he's more of a slow burn than I am, so I think
that freaks me out a little bit.
Hm.
- It's a bell. - Should I ring it?
[ bell ringing ]
They're back! They're back!
Hop on in for your next stop.
Follow the yellow brick road.
JENN: I'm also fearful that I can be fast with
my emotions, and with Marcus, he is someone worth
investing more into, but it goes both ways.
Ah!
So if I'm the only one investing today, then it's scary.
Hi! Come on over.
JENN: Next week is hometowns, and home
is really where your heart is.
Home is where you get to see who somebody really is.
You guys look so great. I'm here to remind you
that there is no place like home or, in your case, hometowns.
The next step in your journey is uncovering pieces of home
that made you who you are today.
Behind me are some of Glinda's famous popular bubbles.
You'll need my wand to help you burst these special bubbles.
I'm gonna give this over to you.
- Thank you. - Be very careful.
- Okay. - Okay. Thank you.
- Bye. - Thank you.
- [ balloon pops ] - Ah!
- Okay. - Oh, God.
Hey, what does it say?
It says, "Share your proudest moment..."
- JENN: Who is that? - MARCUS: My sister.
This is when I graduated basic training.
My family flew out to, uh, to watch me graduate.
JENN: Your whole family was there?
Yeah. Yeah. That was a good day.
Oh. Glad you got to share that.
Oh. - Yeah. Just...
I miss my sister right now. - You do?
Yeah. We talk-- We talk every day.
So if I make it to hometowns, you'll definitely meet her.
- Really? - She's the most important
person in my life.
- Wow. - Yeah.
- Oh. - Geez.
It's okay.
MARCUS: Life has been difficult at times.
My sister's the one constant in my life
that's been through everything that I've been through.
And, um, she's been there for all the highs and all the lows.
All right, we got to-- - Okay.
We got to pop some more here.
Oh!
Oh, man.
GABBY: Hey, big brother, I hope everything is going good.
I hope that you're having the time of your life
on this amazing journey that you are on.
I can't wait to see you. I miss you.
Better come home with a fiancée on your arm.
[ both laugh ]
For Jenn to see how special, you know, my sister is to me,
like, I want her to know all about that.
Wow. - That was really special.
I don't come from a perfect family,
and that's kind of something
that I'm hoping to get off my chest.
- [ balloon pops ] - Aah!
MARCUS: But for me, I'm, like, scared
because our journey to find love isn't just about us.
It's about our family, too. - JENN: Oh, this is mine.
"My dear daughter, I hope all is well with you.
I miss and love you so much.
I'm excited to follow your journey in finding true love."
"I'm sorry for not being able to give you a perfect family
with both parents. I never wanted it to happen,
but I tried my best but couldn't because that's out of my hands.
I'm always right there in your heart.
I love you more than anything in this world.
And you're everything to me. Love, Mom."
[ chuckles ]
Come here. - JENN: My mom,
I know that she tried her best, and she didn't want me to feel
like I came from a broken family.
She didn't want me to feel like I had anything missing.
Growing up, I definitely felt like things were broken.
But I mean, being who I am now, like, I am who I am today,
and I've made it through this horrible past I've had.
This whole thing is a lot bigger than just each other.
You know, I feel like my family would love Marcus.
Hello!
Welcome to my yellow brick road.
Oh, thank you.
It's just becoming more and more real
that there is an engagement at the end of this road.
And I want that so badly.
Many, many years ago,
I found love on the very same road.
It's scary to be vulnerable,
but you have to be honest with what you want in love.
So let your love defy gravity above the city.
- Into the future. - Bye. Thank you so much.
What are we about to do?
Have you ever been on a hot air balloon before?
- The first time. - Me too.
JENN: Our last one on one date, we jumped out of planes.
And it wouldn't be a date with Marcus
if there wasn't something exhilarating about it.
Here we go. - We're up, guys.
Not bad.
After today's date, I feel a lot closer to Marcus.
[ bombastic music playing ]
Right now, this moment just makes me so hopeful for
for Marcus and I.
♪ I defy gravity ♪
But I'm also fearful that I might be on a different level
that Marcus is at.
Tonight is the first hometown rose.
And I hope that we can get there.
GRANT: Marcus going out for his one on one, you know,
expecting him to come back with a rose.
That leaves three, three roses.
You know, there's six of us sitting here,
so half of us are going home.
It's surreal.
This is a big week for all of us,
but I'm honestly hoping that I get a one on one with Jenn.
You know, I know I'm just coming off one last week.
I'm beginning to fall in love with this woman.
Like it's real, you know?
So I need at least another one on one.
Or at least to see her again,
have another conversation to tell her how I feel.
I'm looking forward to a one on one, hopefully.
[ knock on door ]
Oh.
We've got a date card.
If this is a group date, my name better not be on that.
You know, I wish I could read her mind,
but there's only one person left
who hasn't had a one on one, and that's me.
So, like, if my name showed up on the group date card
this week, it would suck.
- Date card. - JEREMY: Oh, God.
Spencer...
Jonathon...
Sam...
Devin...
Grant.
"I want a love that listens."
- Oh! Let's go. - "Jenn."
Does that mean I have a one on one for sure?
- Yeah, yeah. - All right.
Best for last, like I said.
[ laughter ]
GRANT: Oh, no. I didn't get the one on one.
And I'm really bummed about it.
Getting that connection
and then not being able to see the person,
and I know she's on another date, it's like, damn.
It doesn't feel great at all. It sucks.
JENN: Marcus, Marcus, Marcus.
You know I'm having fun with you.
Today, Marcus and I, we had such a great date.
And going into tonight, I feel hopeful, but also fearful
that I might be investing too much, too fast into Marcus.
[ laughs ]
Isn't this like insane?
This is crazy.
This is unlike anything I've ever seen.
Look at the scoreboard.
- [ Marcus gasps ] - JENN: Oh my goodness.
I feel very strongly for Marcus, but there is a lingering fear
that I might be further along than he is,
and that's scary.
Thank you.
So tonight, I just need him to be more vulnerable with me
and more open with me,
just like how I would be for my partner.
And if Marcus isn't where I'm at tonight,
I mean, that's going to be devastating.
MARCUS: Never in a million years if you told me
that I'd be sitting here having dinner
with the beautiful Bachelorette.
Today's been the best day ever.
Like you saw me get emotional today, and I didn't--
I didn't like that.
And I know that it's a good thing.
- Yeah. - And for me to be able
to let down my walls last week and to really let you guys
into, like, a little bit of how I really am
and what I'm really feeling was really hard for me.
And I wouldn't have been able to do it
if you weren't in that room.
Like, you know, you've opened up about how hard it is
for you to also be vulnerable, and I want you to know, like,
I want to be that safe space for you, too.
Like, I want you to be able to feel that.
I know that, and I can feel it.
I know that it is difficult for me to open up.
And, um, I'm super grateful that you can see me trying.
Mm-hmm.
Um...
Hometowns are coming up, and opening up to Jenn
about where I came from and how I feel about it
is something that I like, don't share with anyone really.
Like even some of my closest friends
don't really even get that side of me.
So yeah, I think I just kind of want
to be honest with her about everything
and see, you know, how she takes that.
The part that's like sticking out to me the most about today
was like the comment that your mother had made about,
you know, her doing the best that she could for you.
And, you know, even though that you're, like,
dad wasn't around the way that maybe
he, like, could have been or should have been.
Um, and I want you to know that that strikes a chord with me.
It hits home with me because I do not come
from a perfect family, far from it.
Um...
My sister, when we were young, when we were kids,
uh, we were kind of born
into, like, a pretty, like, rough situation.
Um, we had parents who couldn't
like, really, like, take care of us.
Um, they were a bit like...
Just like unstable and just like
they weren't fit to be parents,
and they, like, brought us to daycare one day
and just, like, never came back for us.
And, uh...
That was that was the start of, like, you know,
like a very rough chapter in my childhood.
Like, I had to, like, take on the the role
of looking after my sister.
We lived in a foster home together.
Families would like try us on for size.
And there was a lot of times
where I thought that I was going to,
like, have a mom and dad, and then they would, like,
change their mind, and then, like, me and my sister
would end up back at, you know, a foster home.
So I think that experience kind of made me
feel like there was, like, something wrong with me.
There's nothing wrong with you.
- Thank you. - Nothing.
Hearing Marcus tell me his story tonight,
it's so heartbreaking, and for him to be open to me
and to really share what he was feeling in those moments
makes me understand why he was holding back
and always just had a guard up.
I get it. It just makes sense.
You know, I feel like there's a huge canyon
in between liking someone and loving someone.
And especially after today, like, I'm at a point
where I want to kind of fall into that canyon
and I want, like, a love that's going to stay
when anyone else would leave.
I hope you know how strong you are.
I hope you truly believe that and you see that.
And like sharing your story doesn't show weakness,
doesn't show that you're broken,
doesn't show that you're not worth anything.
It shows how incredible of a person
that you are to have overcome all of that.
I see that, and I see you,
and I want you to know how happy I am that you're here,
because I can't imagine this journey without you,
honestly.
Will you just come with me? - Yeah. Where are we going?
JENN: Hearing Marcus' story and really understanding
where he comes from made me understand him
so much more as a person
and why he is the way he is and how he reads relationships.
And it's exactly the way that I view relationships.
I mean, we're just so similar
because we grew up in such untraditional families.
It's like we're both scared, but we both know,
like, once we fall in love, like, that's it.
Today has been a dream.
And tonight getting to know you even more means so much to me.
If you ever felt unlovable,
I want you to know that you're worthy to me.
So, Marcus, will you accept this rose?
I would love to.
Thank you.
This is the love story that
I've always wanted when I was a kid.
This is a love story that I thought I was never worthy of.
And it's happening.
I feel like I'm living in a dream.
This has been a wicked cool date today.
JESSE: Hello! Jenn and Marcus!
We hope you enjoyed your day in the Emerald City.
Now look to the western skies.
- Aah! - Okay.
They have a firework guy.
- I'm the Bachelorette. - You can do whatever you want.
I feel like lighter.
like I can breathe now after being vulnerable with Jenn.
She's accepting me for who I am, imperfection at all.
Jenn is going to meet every single person that I care about.
So I feel like the luckiest person alive.
♪ So if you care to find me, look to the western sky ♪
Good morning. Welcome to Love on Air Seattle.
We're gonna do a little deep dive
into the matters of the heart.
In studio today, none other than the Bachelorette herself.
It's Jenn. - Hello. Hello.
Thank you so much for having me here.
My name is Bender. I'm going to introduce the team.
This is Jubal. - What's up?
And the OGs of Bachelor Nation,
Jason and Molly Mesnick. - Oh. I'm old.
We're so, so old. So old. Thank you.
15 years ago, Jason was on the old incarnation of the show.
And Molly was just a contestant at the time.
- Who's the best kisser? - I'd say Molly.
Molly is? Okay.
I was on the group date, doing the radio show.
- Yeah. - That's crazy.
- Yeah. - It's really crazy.
Jenn, we are just so excited to be here with you today.
JENN: It feels really helpful to be able to talk
to Jason and Molly today,
knowing that they found love in this same journey
and that they still have a beautiful family today.
It just makes me really hopeful for my journey, too.
We have the guys coming in. This is a great opportunity.
Radio is all about communicating.
Absolutely. I'm excited.
I want to keep these men on their toes.
Let's do it.
JENN: Today is all about communication.
Listening to your partner and communication is so important.
That is the best thing in a relationship.
Can you see it ending in an engagement?
Absolutely, yes.
Is there anybody that stuck out right away for you?
Yeah, I mean, on night one, I only kissed one guy,
and it was Sam, and it is more physical
right now than emotional,
but I want it to get more emotional.
So it's all about really like breaking that barrier
and really continuing to do that.
Okay, so we got to break through to him,
get you two deeper. - Yeah.
Who, like, when you hug them, who do you just kind of
fall into and you feel safe with?
- Oh, Sam. - JUBAL: Sam?
Yeah. Yeah, he's a great snuggle.
[ laughter ]
I feel a strong connection with Sam.
He's smooth. he's hot, and we've had this physical connection.
And I think we've had a little bit of an emotional connection
on our one on one date.
Hey, can I slide in? Can I slide in?
JENN: But I mean, there's red flags, too.
I just want to feel more secure in our relationship,
and I just don't. There's something missing there.
And I want to be able to pull that out today.
Let's bring in the guys.
- Hello. - Hi!
How are you?
DEVIN: We we walk in, and it's a radio show.
You know, talking needs to be a strength in a relationship.
And I'm immediately in my comfort zone.
As far as the other guys, I think Sam's is in trouble,
in my opinion, because it's a funny thing
when you get put on the spot and have to say things
that you actually are supposed to truly feel.
Hey, how are you?
In Sam's case, I'm sure he'll blow it,
but, you know, we'll see how that goes.
MOLLY: Jenn really wants to get to know the deeper side
of all of you guys.
And with hometowns right around the corner,
this is really important.
Today, I'm gonna chase what what I want.
You know, what my dream in life,
which is become a husband, is become a father.
I'm somebody who's going to keep the main thing the main thing.
Yeah, I'm not gonna let anything get in the way of that.
JASON: So we want to have some fun conversations,
but also a little bit serious, as well.
So we're on the hot seat today.
- Oh, yeah. - Yes, you are.
BENDER: Here's what we're gonna do.
We're gonna do a quick, rapid fire word association.
Ooh. Uh, Spencer-- rose.
- Me. - [ laughter ]
I love that.
- BENDER: Grant-- shower. - Every day.
- [ laughter ] - Very nice.
Very, very good.
Sam-- Fantasy suite.
It's rapid fire.
- Aggressive. - What'd you say?
Aggressive?
- What the hell? - Is that what he said?
- Yep. - Aggressive.
- My gosh. - Okay.
- Yes. - Grant.
Three adjectives to describe Jenn.
She's witty, charming, intellectual.
Jenn is exhilarating, breathtaking.
And I think the most fun one is spontaneous.
Driven. Exciting.
And to me, the most important is open minded.
Mm.
There's a lot of questions being asked,
and I almost feel like it's a who loves Jenn more competition,
and I am eating up every second of it.
I want to know who loves Jenn more, too.
Sam, how do you feel about Jenn?
Um. I would say...
just fire and, like, strong passion, so, uh...
Yeah, to say that I've been doing nothing
but falling in love with you from, uh, from the first time
that we had a conversation would be,
uh, yeah, that would be a lie.
I didn't know if you would be able to show love
the way that I knew how to.
And it literally took you giving a toast
to all of us saying cheers to a ferocious love.
Um, for that to be so unorthodox,
and I describe my love as reckless.
DEVIN: I have been saying this since he got here.
Sam, that he talks, for the life of him,
but nothing ever comes out of his mouth.
I feel like I'm somebody that, like I say,
it constantly pours into somebody else's cup, uh...
JONATHON: I'm sitting here listening to Sam,
and you can tell she's, like, not feeling the answers.
You know, she's listening to what's being said,
but what's being said isn't answering the question.
Yeah, I think with those two things,
it's tough to lose in a relationship.
Hmm.
I'm so confused.
I don't know, I don't feel like his answers make sense to me,
and I'm not sure how authentic his answers are.
All the other guys in the room, you know,
they're being open and honest, and I appreciate that.
I'm going to ask most of you guys to leave.
And for one person, uh, we truly believe
needs to get to know Jenn better
and Jenn to get to know them better is going to be Sam.
We're going to go to break. When we come back,
we're just scratching the surface.
SPENCER: They choose the person they thought needed
more time with Jenn, and that's Sam.
So Sam gets more time with Jenn, and we get pulled into a room
where we get the distinct pleasure
of watching it on a screen.
MOLLY: You can pretend we're not even here.
This is literally the two of you just asking each other questions
and getting to know each other.
- No problem. - JENN: Okay.
How was your first impression of me,
and how has that changed over time?
It's a testament to this process.
I've told you I almost didn't even make--
I almost didn't even come here, and I thought,
no, like, there's an opportunity to find my wife here.
And that's exactly what I'm going to do.
She asked what it is about her,
and he's talking about himself.
And then I got out of the limo.
I'm like, "Okay, this girl is not my type."
Like, this is that whole idea of,
like, the unknown right there.
I thought the Bachelorette was going to be Daisy or Maria.
Damn, Sam.
I don't know what was going on with Sam. I don't know.
But, yeah, it was weird.
Obviously, like, you're you're stunning.
There's no doubt about that right there.
But like, that's-- I know that that fades,
but I think I trust the process.
Sounds phony.
I truly feel like I'm like meant to be here.
My dream is to be a father, is to be a husband.
Um, my parents have been together for 30 plus years.
What does this mean? He hasn't said anything.
But, like, I think you know
everybody wants a love that's lasting and real.
But I think, like, what is it about me
that makes you feel like
we could have a really great future together,
besides the fact that we both want this ferocious love?
Truly your selflessness.
Because I consider myself a very selfless person, as well.
How do you know that I'm selfless?
I mean, you're either selfless or you're full of [bleep]
One or the other.
- [ light laughter ] - At the end of the day,
like, I'm somebody that's trusting this process.
I've told you that. You know, I don't think somebody
that is full of [bleep] would come in and say--
see 25 guys and just be like,
"Okay, yeah, this is what I want,
and just say those words out loud. I could answer.
I could answer this question right now.
I can also answer this question.
Multiple examples of how she's been selfless...
- I know. I know. - ...in this process.
Also this is how I know you're selfless, actually.
After night one,
that connection that we had was... hot.
- That's not selfless. - I don't understand it either.
I don't get it. I'm so confused here.
And truly, I feel like you've kept me in a closet.
How does that mean selfless?
DEVIN: Dude, I don't know. I'm telling you, I don't know.
Does he know the definition of selfless?
He does not.
JENN: Sam's not really answering any of my questions.
He's kind of giving vague answers.
I, like, cannot express to you enough how serious I am
about this situation right here.
JENN: I am frustrated because all these little moments
have been building up.
At this point in the journey,
I need to feel reassured and secure in our relationship.
I don't know. Like, how can you be so sure
about being an engagement at the end of this with me when--
do you feel like you really know me?
Oh.
[ clears throat ]
Honestly, you know, I told you from--
from early that my love language is physical touch.
It's like this. It's like...
Ooh!
Oh, nope.
I don't know why he's doing this.
I need him to tell me why he sees me as his wife
and what exact qualities in me
that he sees that he wants in the future.
I didn't feel as if I got any answers.
Calm down, cowboy.
Well, Jenn, I think it's time for you to take the boys
for the rest of your evening.
That's all the time we have
on this episode of Love On Air Seattle.
Tonight, it's important to understand what he sees in me
and if he understands me at all.
JENN: I was actually really looking forward
to spending the day with you guys today.
I feel like it's been so long since we've been able to chat
since the last rose ceremony, so today was so fun for me
and you guys made me feel so seen today and made me
feel like I'm picking the right relationships here.
Uh, there was one conversation in which
I left feeling a little bit unsettled.
I'm not in the business of making another mistake again.
And with hometowns being next week,
I need tonight to be about
how we're going to fit into each other's futures.
- Gotcha. - Yeah.
We could do a little cheers to that.
Cheers.
GRANT: Jenn feels like somebody frustrated her.
All of us think it's Sam.
That conversation at with the group date wasn't--
It was off. Something was off there.
Me personally, I'm excited to see Jenn tonight.
Last week, I felt like on our one on one date,
all I needed was that emotional connection,
and I got exactly that.
My feelings for Jenn are tremendous at this point.
Tonight I'm going to tell her how I feel.
This is real.
I'm a little nervous, a little bit.
Why are you nervous? Tell me more about that.
I respect you a lot.
I respect you, and I respect the way you carry yourself.
Me seeing you going through your journey
and seeing how you carry yourself,
it's like I cherish that.
I could see myself being with you
for the rest of my life.
And I just want you to know I already chose you.
You know, so... - I feel that.
You know, it's already there.
This is a different experience.
It's something that I hold close to my heart.
And, um, I cherish it. And I see a future in you.
I just want you to know that I am falling in love with you.
And I mean that when I say it. - I know you do.
Grant expressed his feelings of love
for me tonight, and obviously,
it makes me so happy to hear that he's there.
And it makes me so happy to hear with him.
I know that it's coming from a real place.
To see you today made me really excited.
And then also to hear you, like, express how you felt about me
and everything that you said about me today,
it made me feel even more for you
because you really saw me today.
Everything from today
and a huge point that I wanted to make
was the feelings I have for you skyrocketed.
- Yeah. - And it makes me so happy.
Jonathon says that he feels strongly for me,
and that's exactly what I needed to hear.
He's someone who I see challenges me
in a lot of different ways, especially emotional depth.
We had so much momentum coming off of our one on one.
It was the best date I've ever been on, and, like,
thank you for letting me know that you see me and...
I do, and I see you trying.
And I know it's hard because it's hard for me to.
It doesn't come easy to me. I want you to know that.
Like, you've given me so much more
than any of my previous relationships have.
With Spencer, I feel so seen and understood,
and I feel so good with where I'm at with a lot of these guys.
There are so many great parts to tonight
and so many parts that I'm so excited about.
I want you to know that I actually am enjoying
the thought of you coming home to my family
because I know exactly who you are,
which is something that I could never say
about my previous relationship.
I feel so strongly about you,
and I have no doubts about who you are
and the way you make me feel.
I have only ever told my mom
that I want to bring a girl home
that makes me proud and makes her proud.
And you are the definition of both of those things, so...
I want you to know how much the way
that you've been throughout this entire journey has meant to me.
And I feel so seen by you,
and I feel like you're someone who gets me, like--
And that's not an easy feeling to come by.
And you've expressed before like you're falling in love with me.
And I want you to know that today,
like, I feel all the same things
and I'm falling for you as well.
[ chuckles ] So good.
Oh, my God.
I feel fantastic.
She told me she was falling for me.
All I needed to hear was that, and there's no turning back.
I do. I do know that.
I-- [ chuckles ] I couldn't be happier.
I have such a strong sense of who you are
in such a short amount of time.
And it blows my mind that you can continue
to surprise me every single day.
JONATHON: You ready? - Absolutely, man.
- You got a plan? - You know, I think she's
looking for that emotional side.
So, uh, yeah, moment's here, man.
Moment's here. I'm hoping that everybody makes the most of it.
Don't take this the wrong way, but do you think
that she could have been talking about you in that moment?
Yeah. I don't know who it's about, you know?
It could be about any of us.
We're this deep in, and she's having those questions.
Like, it's not good. - I think she just really
expressed the seriousness in what she's looking for
in tonight's conversation with--
you know, with everybody.
And, uh, you know, I feel good
about how this conversation's gonna go.
DEVIN: The main thing was not the main thing today.
Jenn isn't playing games with-- with people that are tiptoeing
around the subjects that she needs to hear.
I mean, this is forever. JENN: Sam, do you want
go for a chat? - Absolutely.
[ clears throat ]
JENN: I'm feeling really confused about Sam.
There is something that is not connecting
that I am not understanding and I am not seeing,
and it's because I don't feel like
he can back up his feelings for me.
I don't understand where we're missing it with each other.
Like, we've had such
amazing moments together that it's like--
It's frustrating because, what is going wrong?
[ exhales sharply ] JENN: I don't know.
Hey. - Hello.
How are you?
Um... okay, I guess.
I think, you know, I do need to be honest with you.
And I think that today-- - [ clears throat ]
I don't know. I feel like you didn't really
see me, you didn't really understand me today.
And we had such a great spark and chemistry from night one,
but there's just something that's missing,
and I feel like today it was becoming more and more apparent.
And I don't want to-- I don't want this to come off
as, like, I'm, like, badgering you into--
but, like, I just-- I need answers,
and I need to know how you feel
and I need-- I need clarity. - Yeah.
So, the word that I gave you today was "selfless."
- I get that. - Like, I don't-- I don't know.
And I feel like [clears throat]--
That's what-- That's what I need,
where I feel like every other relationship I had
[clears throat] I'd didn't have that emotional support.
[ clears throat ]
And, like, yeah, so I come into this right here
with this idea of, like, "Yeah, how do I know it's you?"
I don't. I do trust that I'm here for a reason.
But that's you, and that's your journey
and wanting to be here, and I don't--
I don't-- How do I fit into that?
Um...
♪
I-- You-- Like, you sit here and talk about how,
how do you fit into this right here?
It's a tough feeling. Like, I can't say
that I can just sit here and, like--
Like, it's just something that I feel.
But why me?
♪
Mm.
JENN: Sorry. I don't mean to like -
SAM M.: No, you don't. JENN: I just think--
SAM M.: I've been trying to wait on this.
JENN: I think it's important for me to be able to understand
where you're coming from and to be able to understand why.
It's like you're saying that you want this,
and I want this and--
Because I love you.
- Sam-- - Stop.
You want to know why? Like, there's things
that I have waited to say.
And, like, that feeling is extremely scary to me.
Like, this is it.
JENN: I'm feeling frustrated and confused.
Where the hell is this coming from?
To not be able to back up such a bold proclamation.
I don't feel like...
♪
...it's real to me.
I just don't even feel like we truly know each other.
You can't even express to me who I am to you.
And-- And it can't just be a feeling.
Like, that's not real love.
We skipped over all of, like,
the little conversations and stuff like that,
and we just jumped, like, straight, like--
talking about, you know, ferocious love,
talking about reckless love.
JENN: In the back of my head, like, it's like we're having
the same conversations about ferocious love,
but there's no substance there, there's no logic there.
Like, I'm just-- I'm-- I'm-- I'm a little confused still.
And I think, like, we just need more time
to get there and more conversations to be had
to, like, really understand each other and where we're at
and-- and to get on the same page.
Yeah. - I hear you.
Okay.
♪
I feel so much for Sam, and I want it to be there for us.
And thinking back to all the good times
that we had together, night one, our one-on-one date,
like, I opened up to him in a way
that I hadn't opened up to anybody before.
And it doesn't feel like Sam saw that.
You know, I appreciate you guys being able to express
how you were feeling today with me.
Um...
There won't be a group date rose given out tonight,
and that's because I want to be 100% with where I'm feeling,
as you guys are, too.
So I have a lot to think about.
I will see you guys at the rose ceremony.
SPENCER: Can't wait. - Okay? Okay.
I am still leaving the night a little confused with Sam.
Going into this day, I felt like it was a sure thing
that I was gonna want to meet his family
because I felt so strong in our relationship.
But at this point, I don't know if I'm gonna
meet Sam's family or not.
♪
SPENCER: Sam M. did say on the radio show
that he felt like he was already with Jenn
and we were all biding our time.
Like, that's so disrespectful.
JONATHON: She asked a lot of questions about her,
and he, like, kept circling around the topics
and, like, bringing it back to himself.
Ah. SPENCER: I also think
to an extent it does sound like lip service.
It sounds like saying things
to try to make her feel a certain way.
You can only say what you think somebody wants to hear
for so long before it starts to bite you in the ass.
♪
SAM M.: Last night was just very tough.
That could be the very last time that I spoke with her,
so that's what sucks, and that's what leaves
the fear of the unknown for me.
I don't want to go home. That's the last thing I want.
Like, I said this to her, that like I love her, you know?
That's the truth. I woke up this morning.
I still feel the exact same way. I'm just hoping
that she trusts where I'm at. and she really takes
what I said that, uh-- that it's the truth.
♪
[ indistinct conversations ]
JENN: Last night, I left my conversation with Sam
just feeling so confused.
I mean, Sam and I had that initial spark since night one,
and I can see him at the end of this.
That's why it's so frustrating to me.
I know that I have to figure it out,
but I'm really just trying
to focus on the day ahead with Jeremy.
He is someone who I feel so comfortable with
and can have so much fun with.
After last night, I feel like I just have so much more clarity
on what I need and what I want.
You're supposed to run and jump.
JENN: Hi! JEREMY: And make some noise.
JENN: A whole one-on-one date is so eye-opening
that I am so hopeful, but the whole date
could also go really badly and I could not see a future
with Jeremy at the end of the day.
Well, we are at Pike Place Market today.
It is very, very famous here in Seattle,
and I'm just excited to explore more of Seattle with you.
JEREMY: Me too. JENN: Let's go this way.
JEREMY: Alright. Show me around.
JENN: Let's go. MAN: [ shouting indistinctly ]
[ crowd gasping ] [ indistinct shouting ]
MAN: Whoa!
JENN: This market is absolute chaos.
There's people everywhere. There's fish
being flown everywhere.
JEREMY: You love taking me to markets.
JENN: I do. When I think markets,
I think "Jerbear."
I'm very excited to hang out with Jeremy today,
but I am a little nervous
that hometowns is next week
and Jeremy and I are probably the most behind
in terms of feelings.
And so today,
I really do want to dig deeper into our futures together
and seeing if we can have more of an emotional connection.
Hi!
Can I make her a bouquet?
WOMAN: Sure. - [ gasps ] Aww!
- Can I come back there? - Sure.
Okay. Okay.
JEREMY: I'm excited, and, first off,
Jenn's looking amazing.
I just want to make sure that she's in good spirits
after her night last night, which I briefly heard about
from the guys this morning.
You're doing so well, sweetheart.
This is harder than it looks.
What's your inspiration right now?
Like, I might take you home to meet my mom?
- Hmm? - Wow. Okay.
JEREMY: I want her to come meet my family.
And I know she would love them and they would love her.
It's a big deal to me.
But right now, I'm just trying to take
advantage of every minute I have with her
and put a smile on her face.
Where's your-- [ laughs ]
Thanks, Jerbear. JEREMY: I do really like her,
and I have so much fun with her, but at the same time
I feel pressure just because
other guys are further along.
So it's a big day.
- For me? - Yeah.
They look beautiful.
They're actually really nice. Thank you.
- You're welcome. - That was very sweet.
- Very nice. - Aww.
This is something I would do,
you know, if I visited Seattle with a girlfriend,
or similar things that I would do in New York on a weekend.
Alright. Do we do it?
JEREMY: It feels extremely natural with her.
We just have this chemistry between us.
Whoa. [ laughs ] [ alarm ringing ]
JEREMY: You don't say. JENN: Uncontrollable!
JEREMY: You don't say. JENN: Okay. Look at us.
Oh!
JENN: A psychic chicken?!
JEREMY: I'm having so much fun with Jenn,
and I love being around her.
It's great to see, like, what that life would look like
before I take her home to meet my family.
"Lives are not meant to be built on laughs alone."
Hmm. It said "not laughs alone,"
but a lot of laughs.
Well, you got to add more stuff to it
than just the laughing part. - Yeah. Of course.
Yeah. JEREMY: I think we're both
having a great time, so I'm excited,
and I'm looking forward to what the future could hold.
WOMAN: Have you ever had your palms read?
JENN: Um, no, I don't think so.
- Yeah? - Are we compatible?
It looks like you have a lot of good things going on.
You do. I mean, she's gonna want
what she wants right now. JEREMY: Mm.
WOMAN: Some people love the bad boys at your age,
but you need, like, a lot of stimulation
and a lot of intellectual talk. JENN: Mm-hmm.
You have to bring her flowers. You'll have to bring
this one flowers. - That's weird.
He just made me a bouquet today.
Oh, that's great.
I know that there's a lot of layers to Jeremy
and there's a lot of pieces to our relationship
that we can explore more of.
These are potential drummer's hands.
I used to play the drums. That's weird.
WOMAN: Really? - Really?
That's super weird. Yeah.
WOMAN: You'd be good at martial arts.
I was a black belt when I was a kid.
JENN: What?
I don't know where she's coming up with this.
JENN: I'm seeing new things, and I'm being surprised.
And we just have so much fun together.
And we have the same exact sense of humor.
Where are you taking me, Jennifer?
- Into a little alley. - It this where you kill me?
Well, we'll see.
- Mine? - Oh, don't touch that,
you weirdo.
Does this not gross you out at all?
JEREMY: No. If that's not love...
- Wow. - ...I don't know what is.
- Whoa! - [ laughing ] Oh!
- Good catch. - You want to try it?
- That's a big one. - Yeah.
Wow. You just-- You have a pr--
- Here, high five. - You have a problem.
I have so much hope with Jeremy and I.
He just makes me feel happy.
That's a big fish.
TT for Jenn!
CROWD: Ohh! - [ laughs ]
MAN: That was-- That was a bad throw.
Sorry. - I got it.
JENN: [ shouts indistinctly ]
[ indistinct shouting ]
MAN: That was a good toss. [ crowd cheers ]
That was a good toss.
TT for Jeremy! MAN: Hey!
- Whoo! - Yay!
JENN: A future Jeremy looks so exciting to me.
And we'd be laughing our little booties off.
It's effortless because I'm so able
to be myself at all times with Jeremy.
You know, I haven't had that in a lot of other relationships.
[ laughing ]
And I feel like he really cares about me.
JEREMY: How was your night last night?
It was good. It was--
It was a really-- It was a really interesting night for me.
I think the whole day-- the whole day was good.
And then there was, like, a moment of confusion
and-- and-- and frustration 'cause I--
- Do you feel better? - Yes, I feel better.
- Okay. - Thank you for asking.
- Of course. - Really, really good.
- Now you're with me. - [ laughs ]
And now we're here, and it's great.
Exactly.
Like, I feel strong about where we are.
I'm like-- - I like that.
You make it really easy
for me to be myself, actually. - You too.
- It's been amazing. - It's one of my favorite things
about you.
JEREMY: Coming into today, I was already excited
about the opportunity for Jenn to meet my family.
Have a bite, Jerbear. JEREMY: But after hearing
how she feels confident in us and she's felt that connection,
it makes me that much more excited to-- to bring her home.
I couldn't think of a more important rose,
and I'm looking forward to whatever she has
in store for tonight.
Beautiful day. Thank you. - Mm-hmm.
You're welcome. - It's not over yet,
though, is it? - I don't know.
Time will tell.
♪
Today was a really, really good day.
I know that I can have fun with Jeremy and laugh
and just have a good time, but hometowns are next week.
And for me to be able to give a rose at the end of tonight,
I need to feel confident that we have that emotional connection
that I do have with these other guys here.
So there's a lot riding on today.

JENN: Are you excited? JEREMY: I'm very excited.
This is so cool.
It's by a famous artist.
His name is Chihuly.
Oh, it's not a real tree?

JEREMY: I mean, this is actually dope.
JENN: Yeah, isn't it?
JEREMY: Is this where you kill me?
JENN: Yeah, I think so.
- I don't know about this. - Oh, wow.
JENN: It's nice. JEREMY: It's beautiful.
Thank you.
I had such an amazing day with Jeremy today.
We have so much fun every time we're together.
And Jeremy and I have the most beautiful dinner set up tonight.
- Cheers. - Yeah.
Do you want to do a toast?
I was just gonna thank you for an amazing day.
Which I guess is a toast in itself.
Sure.
So thank you for an amazing day.
[ laughs ] Going into tonight,
I wanted to make sure that every single person
that I'm bringing into hometowns this next week knows who I am
and knows what they want and I feel aligned with.
So I want to see if Jeremy and I
could do more than just have fun together.
Can we have the same outlook on life and culture,
tradition, family, and love?
I'm going to need more from Jeremy
to give him this hometown rose tonight.
JEREMY: I didn't know what we were going to do,
but actually it was perfect
because it was like a normal day to me.
And I feel super close to you after today.
- Oh, good. - It was fun exploring with you.
- Yeah, it was a good time. - Mm-hmm.
I do feel like a lot of our relationship
is, like, laughing and having fun together
because you bring out the most me out of anybody here.
- Aww. - But I also was like,
you know, I really wanted tonight
to be able to dig into, like,
a lot more serious stuff with you,
like with hometowns being next week.
I don't know. Meeting families is important to me.
- Me too. - And I think
I need to be asking more serious questions
of like, what do these guys see in me?
Because at the end of the day,
like, you can say you want an engagement,
you can say you want a serious relationship,
but, like, why with me?
And how we're gonna fit our futures
together into all of this, you know?
At a certain point, it's just like,
who do I want to be with that, like, makes me comfortable...
- Mm-hmm. - ...and, like, makes me smile
and laugh and that-- - Mm-hmm.
Like, right now, that's you.
Like, I love spending time with you.
And I feel like I've always looked for someone who's like--
I'm not trying to compare you to my mom,
but someone who's as, like, caring as my mom.
She would do anything for the people that she loves...
- Mm-hmm. - ... like you said you are.
She's, like, the nicest person
I know, to a fault. - Mm-hmm.
Like, to an annoying part sometimes,
which I've told her. - Really?
- She worries so much. - Mm-hmm.
- Very Jewish mom of her. - My mom's the same way.
- Really? - She's overbearing as--
as hell, but it's all coming from a place of love,
so I feel the struggle. - Yeah.
Like, if-- if you meet her, like, which hopefully you do...
- Mm-hmm. - ...she'll be like
the nicest person ever. - Have you introduced
a lot of girls to your family before?
- No, only my two girlfriends. - How many? Which ones?
I mean, what are their names? - [ laughs ]
I've-- I've brought two girls to my-- to my parents before.
- Yeah. - My mom has always made
jokes like, "Oh, gotta marry a Jew."
But, like, also, both my exes were Catholic,
and she loved both of them. - Okay.
Being Jewish, like, culturally,
is, like, very important to me.
- Okay. - I don't expect you to convert.
I don't need you to convert. - Okay.
- But eventually I do want kids. - Yeah.
And I think that having a Jewish identity...
- Mm-hmm. - ...just 'cause of like
obviously what's happened to Jews in the past.
- Absolutely. - And, like, my grandmother,
who you'll maybe be able to meet--
like, her grandfather was, like, a very, like,
famous rabbi in Lithuania. - Oh, wow.
You know, died in the country
because he wouldn't leave, like, when--
during World War II.
Um, so, it is super important to me.
And I'm curious if that's something you'd ever be open to.
Well, I have a lot of Jewish friends in Miami.
We do a little Shabbat. - Really?
- We break some bread. - Wow.
Um, yeah. We say "Shabbat shalom."
It's fun. - You'd fit right in.
[ laughs ]
Well, I'm like, just, like, really open
to a lot of different things.
But I also am Buddhist. - Mm.
And my family grew up going to temple for big holidays,
which are things that I wouldn't want to give up.
and just, like, being around the faith, which I do love.
And, um, I would want to be able to have my mom really, like,
teach those things, like, to our kids and stuff like that.
And obviously, if I'm asking for you to be willing to,
I'm obviously open to that also.
It's really, like, the culture and family aspect...
- Absolutely, yeah. - ...which I could tell
you're about, too, so... - I love that you said that.
That's what I want in my future family is, like,
I really want to blend families together...
- Me, too, yeah. - ...and I-- I want to be able
to, like, be a part of my partner's family
and also have my partner be a part of my family, too.
So I love that. - Mm-hmm.
Jeremy makes me feel seen and heard.
I'm Buddhist, and, like, having two different cultures
come together is never easy.
But Jeremy and I talk a lot about faith and religion,
and hearing him talk about kids, family, like, tradition
makes me very sure that we can get deep
and that there is another side to him.
And it makes me feel really hopeful for our future.
Hearing about your family makes me so excited.
For me, if you're committed to somebody,
all that matters is that, like,
me and my partner are open to--
to the mix of it all. - Yeah.
And I think it would be totally cool to have
our kids grow up as-- as Jewish.
Honestly, the idea of, like, Jewish Buddhist kids sounds fun.
- Don't laugh. - I'm like--
- This is gonna be serious. - I know. It is serious.
But, like, I'm serious, too. Like, I feel like
it would be fun with you.
I love that. That means a lot to me.
Well, I think going into today, I was like,
we can have so much fun together
and we are so comfortable with each other,
But I did want to know, like, if there was more there.
We were able to touch on a lot of different things
that make us who we are and what we want in the future,
and I think we align on a lot of those.
I do feel like, you know,
you speak so highly of your family,
and I'm so excited to meet your... mishpachah.
[ both laugh ]
Do you feel like you want that for us?
I'm so excited to introduce you to my family.
And I know they'll love you.
Will you accept this rose?
Of course.

I'm very excited.
Today has been incredible.
I had a great conversation with Jenn.
We see relationships the same.
We see family the same. - Ready?
Yeah. Especially after tonight,
I see a future with Jenn,

I'm feeling so good.
Mishpachah means "family" in Hebrew,

Are you excited? - Very excited. Are you?
Good. With Jeremy tonight,
I got to see a different side of him that I haven't seen yet.
He completely surprised me.

JENN: Tonight is the rose ceremony.
I only have two hometown roses to give out,
so I have some really big decisions to make.
The biggest thing I have to deal with tonight is Sam.
I like Sam. I see something with him.
On night one, we had an amazing natural chemistry.
I gave him my first impression rose.
I left that night feeling so excited
for this journey with him.
I had no doubt that I was gonna meet Sam's family
because we had such a strong connection.
He just made me so happy.
But on the radio date, I thought I was gonna learn
some more things about how Sam felt about me.
And he just can't even come up with one thing.
He can't even come up with an adjective,
a-- a story, like, nothing.
And he just blurts out that he loves me?
Like, I-- What the hell?
I have so many questions that I need answers to.
♪
I'm confused. I don't understand.
But maybe there was something that I'm still missing.
My connection with Sam has been so strong.
It's like, if we can get through one more challenge together,
it just seems like maybe we could get through anything.
And I owe it to myself to have a conversation with Sam
and get to the bottom of this.
And I'm gonna do that right now before the rose ceremony.
MAN: Whoa! Whoa, hey!
Is Sam in here? Do you guys know where he is?
- Uh... - MAN: He's in his room.

MAN: What?! JONATHON: My heart stopped

JENN: Hello?
Hey.
How's it going? - Hello.
Do you wanna-- Do you wanna have a chat?
Yeah, absolutely.
JENN: How are you feeling?
[ chuckles ] Um...
Terrified.
How are you feeling after the conversation
that we had the other night?
I'm sorry for the way that that date went.
And I've been trying to walk this fine line
of being vulnerable and also protecting my feelings
in the same breath.
But the only way for me to see it
was to fall in love again.
Okay. I'm confused.
- Okay. - How can-- I don't even know.
I thought you were gonna say, like, "Oh, I didn't mean
to say I love you," like...
Yeah. No. That's not-- I meant to say it.
Like, what-- To you, what does it mean to love somebody?
For me, love is selfless.
Love is sacrifice.
Love is understanding
and listening to the person that is in front of you,
always validating them in whatever way that that means,
making sure that this other person knows
that you're the only person in the world that I see.
You're saying all the right things, and I just--
It's hard for me to believe you.
- Yeah. - I don't...
Hearing Sam, nothing sounds genuine to me.
I'm nervous that he's saying things to make me happy,
and I just don't believe him when he says that.
Having to put your feelings in words--
this is not my strong suit. I am--
This is, like, the biggest learning curve for me right now.
There's no words that I can say that can describe the love
because any-- everything that comes out of my mouth,
I feel like I'm downplaying the way that I actually love.
We're right there to getting, you know,
to hometowns, where everything that I'm trying to say
would just be so [bleep] evident
in the way that I interact with my family and my friends.
Like... JENN: I am so confused.
He's telling me, "Oh, you'll see the love when I see
my friends and family. Like, you'll see the way--"
Like, I know you love your friends and family.
But that doesn't mean that he loves me.
Right now, I need to know that he sees me
and he understands me and he listens to me.
I genuinely see something in you,
and I genuinely want this to work.
And I was so confused of like,
how could someone that I feel like
I have such a strong connection with
not be seeing me?
So, what do you see in me?
I could go on about your passion for love,
your desire for wanting a family,
all these things that resonate with me.
But the fact of the matter is,
is that there's other people out there
with the same characteristics of you.
I've had those people in front of me.
Like, you look at me, and you're like--
You ask me these questions, hey, how do I know this?
How do I know that? Like, I feel like you're looking
at me waiting for this-- like, these answers with words.
I feel like-- JENN: That's not--
That's not what I'm saying. That's not what I'm saying.
Here's my story.
I stepped out of the limo.
Your energy soothed my nerves.
That emotional connection--
But that's just energy.
I don't think that that's emotional connection.
This is the story.
You cheersed to a ferocious love.
I felt that.
That was another thing. - I'm not looking for a script.
Love isn't a script. You tell somebody--
It's not a script. It's knowing that the person
that you share a life with,
you couldn't imagine a day without them.
JENN: I'm getting confused again.
This is, like, just not good. and, like, he's dismissing me
and he's not listening and he's not asking
and it was just like-- I'm not seeing the love.
The second time that I got to talk to you
was at the next rose ceremony. I took the biggest
breath of air, and I felt life again.
But, really, where everything switched for me
was after the whole stripping thing.
You're, like, pouring into my emotional part.
What the hell does that even mean?
And then we get to the one-on-one.
What did you learn about me that night?
I learned that you yearn
for a love that's so powerful,
that's endless.
What else did you learn about me that night?
♪
First...
you have no idea how much I appreciate you.
♪
And now I see it.
[ exhales sharply ]
I love you.
But to love someone means to really understand them.
He's fighting for this love and this relationship for who?
I-- I could-- I could literally be
anybody right now, and it wouldn't matter.
I'm a firm believer that you don't get to pick who you love.
I'm just. I'm sorry-- I'm-- I don't...
You saw the best in me whenever I couldn't even see it.
I just need a second. I think I just need a second.

I just-- I feel confused.
It's just words and words and words, and it's not--
It's not-- I don't know.
It's not answering anything for me.

It's like, he hasn't even asked me how I'm feeling.
He doesn't even ask me where my head is at.
And he's just talking, talking, talking.
It's like, I'm, like, trying to listen to him,
and now I'm even more confused.
And that's why this is making it so hard for me to see.

No. - I mean, that is kind of true.
Yeah, the answer is no.

It's been a confusing journey for us both.

But I feel like going into this conversation today,
like, I wanted to be able to also explain to you
how I was feeling about everything,

And I feel like we're just like at this disconnect
and I don't know what it is and I just don't--
I feel like you've been looking-- You've been--
You're waiting for this, like,
answer and this response. - I'm not--

and want to know about them and--
Yeah. Like I said, this whole--
this whole journey for me.
For you. Again.
I-- I can't do this.
I can't sit here with someone who says that they love me,
but doesn't even really want to get to know me
and understand me and see me.
Everything that I said to you, you didn't hear.
I heard them. I just don't think
there was any weight to them. and I don't think that--
Like, you telling me that you love me?
You don't understand me. You don't know me.
And it's like, I know what I deserve,
and I know the love that I deserve.

teaching people how to prioritize me.
