- Previously on "The Courtship"...
- I'm not just somebody
that you're swiping left and right on.
I'm somebody that you're courting.
- Chivalry, decency, and decorum.
- Sun's out, guns out.
- I'm, like, where can I get a corndog around here?
[laughter]
- None of these values were particularly in evidence...
- You're not getting on this boat.
- All these other guys, they're like vultures.
- As our heroine continued on her quest
to find true love.
- We need to get past surface level.
Show me that passion that I'm looking for.
- Recently, my mom did pass away.
A month after that, my brother passed away also.
- Mr. King, he's experienced loss that I can't even fathom.
- And the pressure increased on Ms. Rémy
to decide the gentlemen's fate,
in a fairytale setting
where some stories were just beginning,
and others came to a brutal end.
- This is farewell.
- I think you're making a big mistake.
- Hate to say it, but your carriage is outside.
I'm so sorry. - It's okay.
You don't have to be sorry.
- Now just 11 suitors remain.
[dramatic classical music]
[cheerful music]
- Dawn rises over the castle.
- Good morning, sunshine. - Hi!
- Good morning! - Hey!
- Okay, are we gonna have pillow talk?
- Are you excited to see some boys today?
- Oh, hells yeah. [giggles]
- Okay.
- And as the search for love continues,
Mr. Mumbray arrives with "The Daily Tea,"
and an inspiring call to arms
to the other suitors.
- Come gather round. I've got "The Daily Tea."
- Well, fairly inspiring,
spilling the details of the day ahead
for our 11 remaining gentlemen and our heroine.
- "The Daily Tea."
In England, there is your family...
[clicks tongue]
Your queen, and then there's cricket.
A slow dance taken between a batsman and bowler.
- "It's a game straight from the pages
"of the Jane Austen novel.
"Know the game of cricket and love are much alike.
"Both pursuits should always be played
in a spirit of friendship, nobility, and fairness."
- We are playing cricket. There are bases, I think.
I don't know. Do you know how to play?
- I have no clue.
Do you know? - Never in my life.
- We thought it was on a horse.
Is it on a horse? - That's polo.
- That's what it is. - That's polo.
- Uh-huh. - Okay, yeah.
Well, okay, today I really want
to talk to Mr. Saffa,
because he had a good moment with Mom and Dad,
but I--I still just want to, like, dig deeper.
Coming into this week, I'm thinking
how lucky I am that I have all these guys.
They're attractive. They're funny.
They're showing their vulnerable sides.
I had amazing dates
with Mr. Bochicchio and Mr. Hunter so far,
so I'm looking forward to seeing
what these other guys bring to the table.
Can they catch my attention
like Mr. Bochicchio and Mr. Hunter did?
So we'll see. - I'm into it.
- Who's been on the Dance Card
more than once?
- Kim--Mr. Kim.
- All right, so whatever he's doing,
we all gotta do the opposite.
- [laughs]
- Today, my objective is to block Captain Kim
from having anymore interaction
with Ms. Rémy.
He's been on the chopping block twice now,
so I feel like if I can get in between them,
then he'll make himself there for a third time,
and you don't survive the Dance Card three times.
- Let's retire and get ready for the game.
- All right, let's go.
- Oh, my God, let's go! - Let's go, yay!
Okay. - Let's start this day!
- Cue generic English montage
including a massive castle, a fountain,
and some ladies in bonnets drinking lemonade.
Who's excited for a day at the cricket?
- Cricket with the Rémys.
- And here come our players.
- Ow, ow!
I'm looking for them to not only be into the game,
but also making time to be flirty and fun.
I'm excited about this.
It's like a completely different side of them.
- How many of you are familiar
with the quintessentially English game of cricket?
Show of hands?
[laughter] Yeah, that's what I thought.
- The only Brit.
- Well, I hope you're all ready to bowl a maiden over
because tomorrow, Ms. Rémy will be picking
one suitor for one date.
- I have not been on a date with her.
I had probably about four or five minutes by myself,
but that's it.
Time is definitely ticking, so let's make that happen.
- In the 1800s, women also played cricket.
So with that in mind,
Ms. Rémy and Mrs. Baker, you will be team captains.
So you'll alternate picking
until we're left with one poor soul
wishing the ground would swallow him up.
[laughter] - Oh, my gosh.
- Ms. Rémy, you get first pick.
- This is gonna be strategic.
I'm going for Mr. Mumbray. [laughs]
Yay! - Good pick.
- Are you excited? - Yeah, I'm really excited.
When I was at school when I was younger,
I used to be quite overweight,
so when it comes to sports and stuff with PE,
I was always kind of picked last
or not picked for the team, so yeah,
it was quite nice to be picked first for once.
- The one person who knows the game is gone.
- Yup. - Now it's a lottery.
- I don't know if you need strength,
but I'm gonna make sure I'm prepared,
so Mr. Saffa. - Yes!
- Oh, it's gonna have to be Mr. Holland.
- Oh, of course. - Come on, bring it.
- Of course. You know, we got this.
- I can tell, I can tell. - Of course.
both: [chuckle]
- Um, hello?
That initial night with the kisses,
we kind of just, like, connected.
- Mr. Shanklin.
- Obviously, no one wants to get picked last.
It'd be humiliating and emasculating.
- [laughs]
Mr. Chapman. - Mr. Cones.
- Mr. King. - Ayy.
- I love making Mr. Bochicchio sweat.
- Captain Kim. - What?
- Yes! [laughter and applause]
- I wanna see him continue to fight
and get my attention.
- Ms. Cleary. - I knew it.
- But I also don't want him to, like, get too confident
thinking that I'm so, so into him.
- Mr. Bochicchio, Mr. Castronovo,
how are you feeling?
- It's like high school all over again.
- Never better.
- I'm sorry, Mr. Castronovo,
but Mr. Bochicchio, join us.
- Whoo! - Yeah?
- Mr. Bochicchio. - Whoo!
- Mr. Castronovo.
- Bold move, Mr. Bochicchio,
trying to get a kiss in there
in front of everybody.
- So Danny B.'s aggressive.
Doesn't bother me one bit.
I'm gonna get a chance to kiss her as well.
I just gotta make sure it's better than his.
- I don't think that the kiss was warranted.
It's almost smelling
of a little bit of desperation.
- No more, uh, physical... - [laughs]
- Love you, bro, but nope. - Every chance I get,
I'm gonna try to sneak in a kiss or two.
As long as she's cool with it,
I don't care what the other guys think.
I really don't.
- Let's play cricket!
all: Whoo!
- Let's do this! - Let's go!
- I think we're starting.
Mr. Shanklin emerging with a bat toss,
which in Regency times would have seen him
banned from the sport indefinitely.
- You might wanna scoot back. Give me a good one, bro.
I'm half British.
You know, my mom's from the UK.
I feel like that should give me
a homecourt advantage, right?
My parents have been together for 41 years.
I do aspire to have a relationship like theirs.
- Mr. Shanklin.
A quick guide to cricket.
You have the bowling team and the batting team.
It's basically a much better version
of baseball.
The batsman has to hit the ball
and then run between the wickets.
Each time they do this, their team scores a run.
Mr. Shanklin.
Hit the ball over the boundary without it bouncing,
you get six runs.
Meanwhile, the bowler tries
to hit the wicket with the ball.
It's that simple.
Oh, and there are also regular intervals
for refreshments. - Thank you.
- Christian, are you ready?
- Yeah, yeah. - Let's go.
- Mr. Cones. Here he comes.
- I, like, take everything super competitive--
bingo, buffets, eating contests,
like, it doesn't matter.
What was that?
I hope that didn't count against me.
But I'm not gonna lie.
I feel like beer pong is more my sport.
- Oh, that's horrible.
- Let's go, Mr. Hunter.
- [grunts] - Ooh, it's big, it's big.
- Whoa! - Whoo!
- Six runs, Mr. Hunter!
Mrs. Baker's team, possibly without realizing it,
takes the lead.
18 runs to 16.
As the match rages on,
Ms. Rémy and her sister catch up
for a quick wine and a snack.
Does baseball allow you to do this?
No, it does not.
- Cheers to you finding love, dude.
- I know. - And, like,
you're husband's out on that field.
- Yeah!
[laughter, cheering]
- Well, maybe not, 'cause there's a couple--okay.
As we're playing cricket, I look over.
I see Tessa. She's talking to Mr. Saffa.
And she looks absolutely bored out of her mind.
And I wanna know what they've been talking about
because I'm nosy.
Okay, keep an eye on that.
- I love just shooting from the hip,
and, uh, just screwing it and doing it.
- [laughs] - And just being, uh...
- Spontaneous? - Yes, thank you.
- Spontaneous. - You're welcome.
- Hit the nail right on the head.
- Got it.
- It's been a minute since I've had, like,
some one-on-one time with, uh--
with, you know, an attractive young person.
[quirky music]
- Is Nicole your normal type?
- Um...
Ultimately, not right off the get.
I--I'll be honest with you on that.
- Who do you usually go for?
- Um...
More of like a--like a-- like a blonde, dirty blonde.
* *
- Do you see yourself with Nicole after this process?
[dramatic classical music]
* *
- Coming up on "The Courtship"...
In the game of love, there are swings and misses.
- You're out!
- And all I'll say is that I hope
Mr. Saffa is wearing a cup.
- Did you feel a connection with Tessa?
- I think so.
- And the departure of a castle favorite
ensures that there's not a dry eye
left in the house.
.
- In a picture-perfect English setting,
our American suitors are being introduced
to the local game of cricket. - Go, go, go, go.
- Though not everyone is keeping their eye
on the ball.
Who's here looking to the future
with our heroine,
and who is playing with fire?
And by fire, I mean the heroine's best friend.
- Hi. - Okay.
- Hello, lovely. - Hello.
- You know what? So I need to talk to Tessa.
- This has been great.
- It was so nice talking to you.
- Fantastic. - Hi, doll.
- Ms. Cleary definitely took my eyes off the game
for a little bit.
First time for everything, right?
She's a very attractive young lady.
I'm really trying to find the right balance
between Tessa and Ms. Rémy moving forward.
- Can you please tell me what's going on here?
- He--he was kind of saying, like,
"I haven't had, like, alone time sitting
with, like, a pretty girl in a long time."
"My type is typically, like,
a dirty blonde-haired girl."
- Like, this isn't a game. This is my sister's life.
We need to tell her for sure. - Yup.
- Oh! He's out!
- One strike? - You're out!
- What kind of game is this?
- You can't be as bad as Mr. Saffa.
Next up, luxuriously coiffured pizzeria owner
Mr. Castronovo comes in to bat.
- He looks pretty athletic. - He looks--yeah.
- Go!
- And I think he knows the game a little bit.
- He's got good energy. - Yeah.
Mr. Castronovo, he's one of my favorites.
- Score!
- His personality is just what we have in our home.
- Bat. - No bat.
- That wasn't in the rules!
- We call him "Mr. Personality."
- Come on, Charlie!
- Yes! - Being on the Dance Card,
it wasn't nice, and it gave me
a kick up the ass that I needed.
- Whoo! - She did say
I didn't focus on her enough
so I think now, she's becoming
my sole and only focus.
And I just want to say that I'm a good sportsman,
but I will win. [chuckles]
- Good work, Mr. Mumbray.
- Do you know what this means?
I'm gonna shoot this out to you.
So in Asia, it means heart.
- Oh, yeah! I know that.
My cousins are Korean.
- Oh, really? - And they've taught me--yeah.
- I was on the Dance Card twice.
I have to make sure I'm not on that Dance Card
and I get that date.
- I feel like you are just so fun
and comfortable right now. - Yeah.
- I wish that I would have seen this before.
- I was nervous,
and I just had trust issues with women,
'cause, like, I got hurt by a girl, so--
yeah, when someone tells me that they love me
and they have a boyfriend, it just doesn't work out.
Yeah.
And I found that after we broke up, so...
- I'm so sorry. - And it's not--
It's not you, though. - Look.
I'm glad you're here. I really am.
- Right now, it's only about me
and making sure that Ms. Rémy knows who I am,
and how sincere I am
in this competition and winning her heart.
- You are literally one of the most attractive people
I think I've ever seen. I'm not even kidding.
- I really appreciate that. - Frickin' own it.
- I appreciate that. - Show them how it's done.
- With Mrs. Baker's team needing to score,
Mr. Mumbray leaps like an English salmon
and takes the catch.
- I had to, sorry. - Whoo!
- Most ungentlemanly.
- Yay! - Who was that?
Was that Mr. Mumbray? - Mr. Mumbray.
- All right.
- I'm done. - No.
- Good take, Mr. Mumbray.
Mr. Chapman's bootless.
Looks like a castaway.
- My time on castle grounds
have been the longest I've been in one place
in two years.
I've been living in my van.
Anytime I can be, like, as immersed in nature,
I'm doing it.
I grew up playing football.
I'm actually kind of getting to have
that camaraderie with the guys again.
Honestly felt like I was playing football again.
It was pretty sick. - Are you sweaty?
- That's why I'm out here telling someone.
Oh, [bleep]. - Oh, sorry.
- He's focused on the game.
- [gasps] Oh, my goodness.
I expected Mr. Chapman to give me
the same kind of treatment that I've got in the past.
And he's so invested in the game right now
that I'm like, "Where did you go?"
Right? Like, hello? [laughs]
- Feels good, right? - I do feel good.
I feel like--
- Wanted? - Yeah, I mean...
- Appreciated? - It's a good feeling.
And appre-- well, that's the thing.
I feel like all the guys here are really genuinely, like...
- Yeah. - Wanting to get to know me.
- Mm-hmm. I didn't think that I'd feel this way.
That's the interesting part. - About me?
- Because I-- yes, about you.
She's like, "About me?" [laughs]
You're so cute. I love it.
- Mr. King, he really does show me
such a beautiful mix of sweet, funny, genuine.
- Good job, hey. Good job.
- I can really tell that he is, like,
a deep person and is ready for commitment.
So I really wanna see if we can get there
and develop that spark.
- Good job, Captain Kim.
- With Ms. Rémy's team behind by 36 runs to 30,
Mr. Mumbray needs to do something dramatic
to level the scores.
[dramatic music]
all: Oh! - Son of a gun!
- Who's the best? - There's no way.
- He's a champ! He's a champ!
- Another six.
The scores are even,
and the fate of the cricketing world
hangs in the balance.
Cometh the hour, cometh the Mr. Holland.
Can he hit the winning runs?
- Let's go, Juaquan!
[dramatic choral music]
* *
- Oh, big hit! - Oh, yes!
- What a hit!
[all cheering] - It's a six.
- Oh, my gosh. - Mr. Holland.
- Game's over. - Yes.
- Go Trojan! - Whoo!
Playing cricket, it brought out the suitors' true colors.
Some guys, they played the game today.
Some guys tried to spit game.
Either way, there are definitely
a couple that I'm like,
"Yeah, I really want to get to know more about you."
- That was a crime... [laughter]
Against the beautiful sport of cricket.
- Wow. - Oh, my God.
- And yet, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
- Yay. - Yeah!
- Ms. Rémy,
would you please select a Man of the Match?
I have the trophy here.
- Oh.
[suspenseful classical music]
[sighs]
.
[suspenseful classical music]
- Would you please select a Man of the Match?
[sighs]
Well,
I mean, I think we all know who deserves to have it.
Mr. Mumbray.
[applause]
- Speech, speech. - Speech.
Speech, speech, speech.
- Yeah, thanks for coming.
You weren't great, but you were great sports.
[laughter]
- Mr. Mumbray, he killed it today.
He was competitive.
He was also pretty sexy out there.
Like, he was really just owning it.
- Till next time. - Until next time!
Yay! [applause]
I feel like I saw what I needed to see from him.
- After the high-octane cricket match finishes,
some of our suitors are feeling sore.
- They left the last two Italians out there
to get picked last.
- I know. That was kind of embarrassing.
Nervous? - Yeah, I'm nervous.
I mean-- - Why, what's up, my guy?
- We have an elimination coming up.
- You definitely make her laugh, but--
- It's not enough.
I mean, I gotta get time with her.
And I see them...
to have the confidence to feel sexy,
to command the room. - So we share that. Cool.
- And also--
- Oh, hey. - Hi.
- Sorry to interrupt.
- It's a story for another time.
- No, we'll have more time.
- And it'll give us an opportunity
to spend more time together.
- Yes?
- Sir. - Oh, yeah.
So when Mr. Castronovo interrupted me,
I was definitely angry at the situation.
It's been a pleasure. - It's been a pleasure.
- This is very important. I'm gonna still fight for it.
And you know what I showed her?
The respect.
- I had to do something to get my alone time.
A little one-on-one... - No, I appreciate it.
- Before the next ball. - Wonderful.
I would love to know, like,
how you've built up this confidence for yourself.
'Cause you walk in a room, and I honestly--
your presence is just illuminating.
It really is. - I appreciate that.
- And also your hair is, like, incredible.
- It's probably a little-- - It's--it's between the--
the confidence and the hair that's just, like,
wow, Guiseppe, you know what I mean?
Like, that-- like, what--
- I wasn't always like this.
I mean, in high school--
my confidence wasn't really there in high school.
I mean, I didn't really start talking to girls
until junior year of college, so--
- You're kidding me.
- Yeah. - Mr. Suave?
- Wasn't always Mr. Suave.
I used to be, like, 100 pounds soaking wet,
so I was, like, the skinny kid.
- [laughing] Soaking wet? - I was always--
by the way, I was-- I was always picked last
in all the sports in high school, so--
- Oh, God. I feel horrible.
- Don't worry about it.
I mean, who remembers the first?
I feel like the last is what counts.
I mean--and I'm hoping to be the last one...
- You're so positive. - With you.
- You are so-- - I don't know.
[laughs] - I just--you are so smooth.
- I'm gonna utilize
every single minute I get with Ms. Rémy.
I'll do whatever it takes
to not be on that Dance Card.
- As night falls,
and the wolves descend hungrily from the woods,
Ms. Rémy and her Court
catch up about the day's events.
- We worked up, uh, quite the sweat today, yeah?
- Mm-hmm.
- Did you ha-- you had some time with Nicole?
- It was going great until
Mr. Castronovo over here interrupted it.
- I gotta do what I gotta do to get--
I gotta do what I gotta do to-- - Oh, wow.
- You know, kinda make... - No handshake, sir?
I see him as the broke Gaston--
very cocky-- who's trying to get Belle
but has no chance.
- I had a great talk with Mr. Saffa,
but not in the way that we want.
- Oh.
- I'm gonna ask. - What?
- Tell us what happened. - About what?
- Spill the beans. - What happened?
- Spill the tea about Tess. - About you and Tess.
* *
- I was just chatting with Tessa a little bit,
and, uh-- [chuckles]
I feel some stuff going on, man.
- Okay.
- So basically I was kind of trying
to hit him with the hard questions.
- She asked if I was into Ms. Rémy,
and then she kind of basically asked my type.
- [bleep]. - And he was like,
"Oh, kind of, like,
um, dirty blonde hair."
- When you told her what your type was,
how did she react?
- I--I feel like she was into it.
- Tell me, tell me. - He was kind of like,
"It's been a while since I've,
like, had alone time with a pretty girl."
I was like, are you talking about me
or, like, what-- what are we talking about here?
- Yeah.
- Did you feel a connection with Tessa?
- I think so.
- Mr. Saffa's starting to flirt with Ms. Cleary,
and she's here trying to find a man for her friend.
I don't think that's gonna end well for him.
- Ultimately, I asked him,
"Can you see yourself with Nicole?"
He said he didn't think so.
- Okay.
- I am definitely interested in getting to know Tessa
a little bit more.
- I am scared for you, but props for admitting it.
- It was insane, but at the same time,
the less guys that are here, the better for me.
- I don't appreciate being played.
If he doesn't want to be here,
like, I would much rather him just bow out gracefully.
That's what I would do.
Because he hasn't,
.
- It's another beautiful day at the gentlemen's quarters.
- Is there anything better than crumpet in the morning?
Huh?
- And our suitors await news of who will be going
on a romantic date with Ms. Rémy.
- We received a letter.
- Yes! - Oh, my God.
- Guys, settle down. It's mine.
I know the date's for me, so-- - Oh, my God.
- All right, you fellows listening?
- Yeah, go.
- "I'd like to invite you on a one-on-one date."
[dramatic classical music]
"Who knows?
"Perhaps this could stir up some romance,
Mr. Holland."
- Whoo. - Whoa!
- Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. Hold on, hold on.
- No, no, no, no, no, no. He said it right.
- Mr. Holland! - "Yours hopefully, Ms. Rémy."
- All right, guys, I have to dismiss myself.
I'm off to my date. - Well, congratulations.
- It's date time,
and Mr. Holland and Ms. Rémy will be taking a spin
on a Regency motor bike.
- [chuckles]
- Also known as a horse.
- I chose Mr. Holland for this date today.
He's just a sweet guy.
He's got, like, a very, like, sexy, confident appeal to him.
I want to know more about this guy.
- As Mr. Holland approaches, he's got something big
that he needs to get off his chest.
- Hi. - And I'm not just talking
about those massive burgundy curtains
he seems to be wearing.
- You look like the Duke of Hastings right now.
- See, I'm a-- - This coat, this fit?
- I am a teacher, and I love children.
It's who I am, and I'm proud of it
and I love it.
And there's something very, very important
that, you know, I want to share with Ms. Rémy.
It's important to any woman that I am going to be with
to share this information. I am for sure nervous.
I don't know which way this can go.
- Tap it on. - Ta--
- Just kind of--oh! both: [laugh]
[horse snorts]
- One, two, three.
Oh, my God! [laughter]
No, I know. I got--I got confused.
One, two, three.
Ah! Okay.
- [mutters] Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Not yet. Come past this [bleep].
- But these horses are not cooperating.
Okay, no. I'll come meet you.
It's okay.
I'm not trying to get out of this, I promise.
Okay, come on.
Good boy.
I'm like, "Oh, gosh.
Who thought this would be a good idea?"
[laughing] He's just, like, sniffing his butt.
I just don't even-- - Okay, back over this way.
- Regardless of it not going according to plan necessarily,
like, it was tough riding the horses,
but Juaquan was just such a gentleman
the whole time. - Good job, Sovereign.
- And he was still down to, like,
have a good time and laugh about it.
Oh, wow. - Yeah, no, this is beautiful.
- How beautiful.
[sweeping classical music]
This is gorgeous. - Yeah, this is breathtaking.
- Wow, you know, dreams do come true.
[chuckles] They do.
- Are you ready to catch me? - I got you.
- 'Cause I'm gonna fall. - One, two, three.
That's all right. - Thank you.
[sighs] This is gorgeous.
Want some fruit? - Yes.
- So, I mean, you've already met my dad.
- Yes.
- He thinks that you're a very dapper gentleman.
- Ah. - [laughs]
Yeah. - That's a big relief.
And when I-- when I spoke to him,
he told me he was from Brooklyn.
- Yeah. - He told me, and I was like,
"Yeah, I'm from New York. All right."
That--that was, like, an instant connection.
- Yeah, we all right. [laughs] - Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Like, we're-- - We're gonna be all right.
- We're okay.
I'm feeling really good. I'm feeling excited.
You know, this is the time that I've been waiting for.
We definitely have a real connection.
And, you know, I can't wait to see where this goes.
[chuckles]
When I saw you,
a beautiful woman like yourself--
you know, internally and externally you're--
you're beautiful to me.
You know, my thing is to be transparent...
- Yeah.
- There's something that I personally, you know,
would love to share with you, um, just because I feel like
you deserve to know, and you're a--a great woman,
and I can really see myself with you.
[soft dramatic music]
* *
What I--what I wanted to let you know is that,
you know, I-- I do have a child.
I have a one-year-old, uh, daughter.
- Wow. - Yeah.
- What's her name? - Her name is Zaias.
Yeah. - [gasps]
She is beautiful.
How much do you miss her? - Oh, a lot.
One thing I wanted to make sure is that
I bring everything, I don't hold anything back.
- Right. - Because I understand
the--the time that I would have to be away from my child.
- Oh, my gosh, just the thought of that
is, like, making me cry. - [chuckles]
No, don't cry. - No, I'm just--
[laughs] - It's okay.
- I just--no, I--I--
Like, you're so strong to be here.
And I want you to know that having kids
is, like, one of the things in life
that I absolutely want to have.
- Yes. - The fact that you have
this beautiful one year old,
I could absolutely see being a part of that world.
- See, that-- that means so much.
- Yeah. - I was nervous.
I didn't know how she would take it,
and she took it so well.
And that just made me like her more.
[chuckles]
Every moment and minute I get to spend with you
is great to me.
It makes me happy.
[sweeping music]
* *
- This is the date that I was envisioning with him.
Do you want to dance? - Yeah, yeah.
- Just because it felt magical.
It felt beautiful. It felt right.
It was genuine.
- See, look, I'm-- I'm from New York,
so we got this one dance where we, you know,
go with the leg where you... you know?
And then you bring it here.
And you just... - [laughs]
Ooh. - Roll the hips like that.
- Ooh! both: Ayy.
- You know, now get a little closer.
- And then you can-- - Then I'm here.
both: Ahh. - [giggles]
- All right, come on. Let's get you, then.
- Thank you.
Just felt like the world was working for us
and we shared a special moment.
And I'm--
I'm just happy. [chuckles]

[classical music]
- Mr. Holland returns to the gentlemen's quarters
with a noticeable spring in his step.
Though it could, of course, just be a horse-riding injury.
It's hard to tell.
- Don't leave us in suspense. - All right, so what happened?
- The date went well. It was a lot of smiles.
It was intimate. It was special.
This is make or break for Mr. Holland.
- Do you think you made it or do you think you broke it?
- I think I made it.
- Oh. - Are you serious?
- Aw, man.
- It really hurts to see Ms. Rémy go on dates
with these other suitors. It's a gut punch.
I want to spend time with her,
I want to get to know her more,
and it sucks.
- While the gentlemen catch up with Mr. Holland,
Ms. Rémy gives her Court the down low.
- So he told me that he has a daughter.
She's one years old. - [gasps]
Oh, my gosh, a little baby.
- I'm just--I'm feeling like I'm on cloud nine.
I've had some really amazing solo dates.
Obviously Danny B. - Ah.
- Daniel Hunter... - Oh, my God, yes.
- Who, like, stole my heart.
So I want to tell you guys, like,
some guys that, you know, I need more from.
- Anybody in particular
that we should be, like, aware of?
- So Achilles, he kind of jokes around.
Sometimes he's really, really serious.
I know that he's going through a lot right now,
so I'm not sure if this is, like, how he normally is?
Mr. Chapman, like, didn't show up this week,
and he can't just rely on being hot and sexy.
Like, he needs to remind me that he's into me.
Mr. Shanklin, like, he's one of those guys
that impressed me from day one.
I just don't know if there's enough, like, butterfly--
- Spark, fireworks. - Like, yeah.
- I gotta be honest, um, Peter--
if you don't feel something for me,
I'd much rather you leave instead of stay.
I'm not here to play games.
Like, I've had my heart broken before.
I've had guys that don't have the best of intentions,
and tonight, I'm putting my foot down,
and I'm saying, "No, I'm putting me first."
I'm--I'm just ready, you guys.
- Let's go. - I'm ready.
[glasses clink]
- As the evening sky burns red,
the Farewell Ball looms large.
[dramatic classical music]
Carriages await for those cast out of the castle.
And after a week of competing suitors
and private dates,
the pressure increases on our heroine
to decide the gentlemen's fate.
Who stays and who goes home tonight?
It's the hardest decision
Ms. Rémy has had to make so far.
[horse brays]
* *
Gentlemen.
The Farewell Dance.
Sportsmanship has been our watchword.
So who has been playing hard but fair?
Has anyone been a bad sport?
Only Ms. Rémy knows.
I have Ms. Rémy's Dance Card here.
This evening, there will be five dances.
Two suitors will be sent home.
- I'd say the most nervous person tonight is Captain Kim,
and I kind of had a little bit to do with that this week.
I have this competitive side to me.
I mean, I'm wearing a wolf pendant,
you know, not for no reason.
- If your name is read out,
please step forward.
You may be going home tonight.
* *
Mr. Chapman.
* *
Mr. Shanklin.
* *
Mr. King.
* *
Mr. Saffa.
* *
- I've been on the Dance Card twice already.
I did everything I can
to spend as much time with her, and I gave it my all.
- And finally...
* *
Mr. Castronovo.
- Damn. I mean, there's almost, like, no words.
It was like a knife right through my heart.
- Ooh.
- Hang on, sorry. Captain Kim's not on it.
[light laughter]
Making progress, Captain Kim.
[laughter and chatter]
- I'll take it.
- For those of you not on the Dance Card,
please make your way up to the balcony.
Your journey in romance continues.
- I'm in the balcony with the other suitors.
It's a huge weight off my shoulders.
That was intense, man. I almost closed my eyes.
[sweeping string music playing]
- Let's see who is staying and who is out of time.
* *
[tense music]
- I'm not here to play games.
If you're not here for me, it's time for you to go.
* *
Hi.
- [sighs] Um...
[clears throat]
Sorry, I can't.
I can't dance right now. I really can't.
* *
[sighs]
I gotta be honest with you.
Like, I know what's going on.
I know that you're not here for me.
[music intensifies]
.
- In the furnace of the Farewell Dance,
the truth has a way of coming out.
- I gotta be real with you.
Like, I know what's going on.
I know that you're not here for me.
I have heard that you're into my friend.
It's fine if you're not attracted to me, but, like,
there's a guy I sent home last week
that had feelings for me.
- [exhales]
- And that was incredibly tough sending him home.
And it's, like, breaking my heart that I kept you
because you made my parents feel special.
You took them on that boat date.
I really thought you were here for me.
I'm kind of pissed off, to be honest.
It's nothing, you know--
no, it's not just nothing.
It--it--it's my heart.
So I would just really appreciate the honesty.
And you're--you're welcome to say something
if you'd like to, but-- - Yeah.
I hope and pray that you find the man of your dreams.
And, uh, yeah.
And that's--that's basically everything I have to say.
I appreciate your time.
- And I hope that you find what you're looking for too.
Your carriage awaits. - Thank you so much.
- Okay.
* *
- It's been a pleasure.
It's been a pleasure.
Is it possible for me to...
- You don't need to talk to her.
- Yeah, I don't think that's necessary.
We can just walk you right on out.
Thank you.
- Nobody has a testimonial without being tested.
Sometimes you gotta go through some tests.
[horse brays]
[voice breaking] I've met some pretty cool guys.
And ultimately, I hope they find what they're looking for.
And, uh...
This--this experience has been very inspiring.
It has been very inspiring.
- Anybody else not here for me?
Like, let's be real.
Tell me. Tell me right now.
- You okay?
- Yeah. No, I'm--I'm fine.
- Okay. - I'm good.
- [softly] Dude.
[romantic string music plays]
* *
- Mr. Chapman. - Yeah?
- I think you are very attractive.
- Yeah.
- We need more moments to make that happen,
but will there be enough, right?
- Right. Make it happen.
- Right. - I can do it.
I'll make it happen with you. Let's figure it out.
- I know we could probably get there, so--
- I think we can.
- I find you in the room, come find me in the room, yeah?
- Okay, let's do this.
- Okay. - All right, thank you.
I can't wait. - [clicks tongue]
[scattered applause]
[both snicker]
* *
- Hey. - Hi.
Um, I just wanted to let you know...
- Yeah. - That I feel like
you always make me feel seen and heard in the room,
which I really appreciate.
- Good, that makes me happy.
- And I feel like at this point,
we have a great friendship... - Yeah.
- And I just want to see, you know, what we can do
to kind of push that friendship.
- Okay.
- I'm trying to be your man.
And the other guys might not like it,
but I gotta do what I gotta do
to walk away with you, so--
- I'm here to find love.
- Okay. I'll make sure we get there.
- You think we can?
- Yeah, definitely. - [exhales]
Please join the other boys on the balcony.
- Thank you. - Yeah.
- Oh, man.
I'm feeling like I dodged a bullet.
[light applause]
And as much as I was happy to be next to Nicole,
I don't want to be down there again,
so I'm gonna take her request really serious,
and I'm gonna turn up the romantic dial just, uh,
maybe a lot.
It's tough down there. [chuckles]
* *
- At least you didn't pick me last like in--
well, you didn't pick me at all in cricket.
- [chuckles]
I wouldn't do that to you a second time.
[clears throat]
But on a serious note, Mr. Castronovo,
I'm just not sure if I feel butterflies yet,
and I'm not sure if I'm feeling the passion.
- I would like to
connect with you on a deeper level,
and really show you that I could be the man
that will be able to take care of you
for the rest of your life.
- [sighs]
* *
I appreciate what you just said,
so what I'm gonna need... [sighs]
Show me some of that Italian passion, okay?
[laughter] Come on.
- I can't-- - Show me the Italian passion.
I want to see it. - You got it, it's done.
It's done. - I know it's there.
Please join the boys on the balcony.
- [chuckles]
Captain Kim not being on the Dance Card,
and my name being called,
was definitely a wake-up call that I'm not gonna focus
on getting anybody out of here.
I'm gonna rethink my whole strategy here,
and I'm just gonna prove to her
that I am the guy that she could be with.
- [sighs]
[emotional music]
* *
- Hold on.
I'm sorry. - It's okay.
- I'm sorry. [sighs]
- This young man has had so much tragedy in his life
and it just breaks my heart.
[sniffles]
[somber string music]
* *
- [sniffles]
- Just come here.
- [sniffles]
- I know.
both: [crying] - I know.
- [sighs]
[laughs]
- No.
It's okay. - This is so weird.
- No, don't apologize. - I just met you.
- I know. - I just met you.
- I know. - I'm so sorry.
- If you take anything away from this,
I want you to take away that you should feel
every emotion that you have,
and you mean so much to me.
I just--
I'm not sure. I'm not sure.
- It's okay. It's okay.
No, I get it. It's okay, it's okay.
I haven't dated anyone in two years.
- Yeah.
- But then meeting you, gave me the ability to believe
that there's somebody out there as good as you.
You have a really awesome family.
Really respect them a lot.
I really hope you find real love here,
because you're different,
and I wish there were more women like you in the world.
- Thank you.
- I'm sorry that I--I wasn't what you were looking for.
- [sobbing] - It's okay.
Don't cry. It's okay.
- I don't want you to apologize
because you are incredible.
You are just so strong.
And there's somebody so amazing out there for you.
I promise you. - All right.
- Thank you for giving me the opportunity.
- Yeah. - Thank you.
- We'll miss you, King. - We love you, King.
- Yeah, King.
- You were wonderful. - Thank you.
Thank you.
- You're gonna find someone wonderful.
- Thank you.
- And they'll be deserving of you.
- I love you so much.
- This is not easy.
- You know, I was closed in the beginning
in terms of finding love,
but being around someone like Ms. Rémy and her family
showed me that it does exist and it's still there.
It's okay to be vulnerable. It's okay to be you.
If you see something you want, um, if you believe in love,
then go for it.
[sweeping music]
- This is really tough
and the one silver lining in all of this
is that with each guy I'm sending home,
I'm learning so much about myself.
- I'm proud of you.
My girl.
[sniffs] - You okay?
- Yeah.
I'm getting closer, and I feel it.
I'm optimistic. I'm hopeful.
And I feel like I have even more strength
to figure out what's best for me.
- Ms. Rémy has made her decisions,
hard as they were.
Nine suitors remain.
But not for long.
[dramatic classical music]
* *
[horse brays]
[knock at door]
[tense classical music]
* *
- I can't stand. [laughs] I'm sorry.
* *
- Gentlemen, welcome.
* *
- In the next chapter of "The Courtship"...
- Let's play some games.
- Our two new hunky suitors are shaking things up.
- Whoa!
- What happened to class? What happened to gentlemen?
This is [bleep]. - En garde!
- Though some suitors strike while the iron is hot...
- Yeah, I might sit this one out and watch.
- I feel really connected to you.
- Ms. Rémy.
Mind if I steal her away for a little bit?
- Of course, of course.
- One man gets burned.
- I came out here looking for a connection with somebody.
- For connection with someone or to look for love?
- I'm all about competition, but these guys are gross.
- Are you upset?
I don't know if I can keep doing this.
I'm sorry.
