.
- Previously on "The Courtship"...
It was case of sun's out,
19th century guns out.
- Are you kidding me? Miles!
- Mr. Bochicchio stumbled
into Mr. and Mrs. Rémy's bad books.
- I came out here looking for a connection
with somebody. - For a connection with someone
or to look for love?
- A former castle favorite was shown the door.
- I don't think we're gonna be able to get there.
- I have no one to blame but myself.
- And Mr. Judge was asked to step up his game.
- I want to feel that spark.
And maybe that's something we can figure out together.
[sighs] - Oh.
- A surreptitious conversation unleashed
an emotional tempest.
- [crying]
- I was talking to Lincoln a little bit.
He's been very vocal about how he isn't ready
for this commitment.
- Do you even still want to be here?
- I don't think I can give you the life you want.
- [sobbing]
- But to everyone's surprise,
Mr. Chapman stayed.
- I have no idea what's going on right now.
- The sun is shining, the snails are devastating
the contents of the walled garden,
and the security detail are patrolling the grounds,
whilst inside, "The Daily Tea" brings with it
news of the day's festivities.
- Oh, "The Daily Tea." - "The Daily Tea."
"Society papers.
"The past, present, and future were all equally in gloom.
Enter stage left, our pleasure garden."
- Not too much pleasure, Nicole.
- [clears throat] Excuse me.
- Whoa. [laughs]
- "Expect dancing, carousels, fire-breathing,
and tea leaf reading." - Oh, my gosh.
- "Be prepared to look into the leaves
for a glimpse into the past and the future."
- Get lit! - Get lit!
- Regency style. [laughter]
- "All eyes are upon the remaining suitors
"to see whether a chivalrous Mr. Darcy emerges
"or indeed a villainous Mr. Wickham,
"the charming cad who would seduce the ladies
but was unable to commit."
"What does the future hold?"
- My heart yesterday
was completely shattered over Lincoln.
I was tipped off by one of the boys in the house
that Lincoln is afraid of commitment
and wasn't sure if he could give up
his lifestyle for me.
I mean, this is literally days
after he told me that he was falling in love with me.
- Oh, my gosh, Nicole.
- I want to get serious and actually figure this out.
- Do you feel secure in your decision
of, like, staying now? - I mean, it's an extra week
to try to figure out my feelings.
And, you know, I'm glad that I have that time.
- How did she even find out about all this?
- She told me that, you know, she had heard
from one of you guys.
[tense music]
Yeah, so...
- I didn't say anything. - I didn't.
I didn't mention that.
- Well, that--that-- I have to put my hands up.
That was through me.
* *
It wasn't done in a malicious way.
- That's bullshit.
It's, like, bro code. Gentlemen's Parlor code.
Like, it sucked to have, like, certain things leaked.
Like, this-- this whole process too,
I've been so confident.
Like, I haven't felt the need to, like, disclose
any, like, negative things about the suitors.
So I just want to figure out why you felt the need
to, like, play the game to get another guy out.
* *
Miles...I really do believe
that at this point he has been here,
uh, just to stir up some things.
I don't frickin' trust him.
He's gonna regret this.
- I remember asking you this question,
if there's an engagement after this.
You weren't so, so sure.
- I never told her there would be an engagement.
I just-- we had never had that talk.
Like, I didn't expect her to come
to the Gentlemen's Parlor.
- After all of this, do you feel like
you are in love with her?
- Hmm. No, I'm still in the same place.
- I think that's tough on her.
Lincoln, he needs to think
about what he actually wants.
It's not fair to put her in a position
of trying to figure out
who's here for the right thing.
- Which direction are you leaning in?
Is it more love or is it more lust?
- Lust that I'm trying to figure out
if it can turn into love.
- And for her, what do you think it is?
- Love.
- And that's where the problem lies, right?
And that's why there's so much emotion.
* *
- Mr. Chapman actually expressed to me
how much he wants to get to know you better.
- Lincoln and I, having that hurdle last week,
although it was tough and painful,
and we both were sobbing,
I feel like we needed to get there.
We needed to build that emotional bond
that I feel like now we have.
- We're down to five people. - Aw.
- So I think it's time for the hard-hitting questions.
For each of us to pick a person
and find out a little bit more.
- Well, I know who I want you to talk to,
and it's Danny B.
- Oh, yes. - Oh.
- He is pretty intimidated by you two.
I just need him to be pushed a little bit more.
- Yes! - Daddy can make him feel
really uncomfortable. - Yeah.
[laughter]
- I'm gonna steal Mr. Nazaire for the day.
- That's perfect. - Yeah.
- Well, then would you mind
speaking with Mr. Judge? - Absolutely.
Absolutely. - Okay.
Mom, I'd love for you to talk to Mr. Cones.
- That's who I wanted to talk to.
- Wonderful. Okay, good. - Yes.
You know, I always think a good question is
to find how people deal with the acceptance
of being Black, you know? - Mm-hmm.
- And I'm not as concerned about what it means to them
because clearly it doesn't matter.
But what it will mean
to their family and their community.
- Yeah, I think that's something
that really sticks out for me too.
I want to know more about how they are navigating,
you know, race in today instead of the Regency era.
[laughter] - Yeah.
How they feel fitting into my family,
it's not a question I should have to ask,
but it's my reality.
I'm a Black woman,
and these are things that I have to consider
in any relationship that I'm in.
- This is gonna be great,
but I have to pack and start to get ready.
- We're gonna be sad to see you go.
- Mrs. Rémy is getting very close.
- Dom has to leave
because he has a baby on the way
with his beautiful wife.
And he has to go be a dad.
- We're just so glad that your wife
allowed you to come and spend the time with us,
because it was very valuable to get your insights.
- Yeah. - I'm most excited to see
who's gonna be his, uh, new uncle-in-law.
both: Oh, my gosh.
- Ooh, Uncle Danny, Uncle Lincoln,
Uncle Christian. - [laughs]
- Uncle Jesse, or--or Uncle Miles.
[laughs] - Oh, wow.
- Being so much older than Nicole,
I didn't really get a chance to see her grow up so much.
And being here the last few weeks,
I've been able to really watch you grow
and watch you become a young woman in a lot of ways.
So... - Oh, wow, Mama is going.
- Well, anytime you guys show how much you love each other,
it means a lot to me. both: Oh!
- [laughs]
- We all love each other so much.
- I know, I know. - Oh, my gosh.
- I am such a blubbering mess. Let's get out of here.
[laughter]
[dramatic choral music]
* *
[accordion music]
- * La, da, da, da, la da *
- Pleasure gardens were the pinnacle of night life
in 19th-century London.
The place to cavort amongst the upper classes,
the air thick with food, drink, and merriment.
But beware the darker corners
where drunkenness, debauchery, and danger lurk.
- Now, this looks fun.
[exciting music]
- Oh, my God.
- This is so epic.
I'm a sucker for a fair, a carnival,
a theme park, anything.
- Oh, my gosh, so cool. - That's insane.
The fact that tonight we can have fun
at the pleasure garden, that's on brand for me.
- This is what I was waiting for.
My mind is absolutely blown right now.
I'm about to be like a little kid
on a playground.
* *
- There is nothing like a good bloody carnival.
[laughter]
Ms. Rémy is very stunning,
and I'm here to hopefully have a pleasurable time
with Ms. Rémy.
She's got a beautiful, beautiful way
of looking at me.
And I'm hoping it's only me
and not all the other boys.
- This dress is, like, way too sexy for Regency times.
- Is it? Wow. - Yeah, it's pretty...
- Well, thank you, sir.
- Whoo-hoo!
- I'm gonna go on this one,
'cause I'm obviously ahead of you.
- Oh. - Oh, shit.
- Yee-haw! - Oh, okay.
- I feel like I actually need a saddle.
These are hurting my thighs, man.
- They're getting things started
here at the carnival.
Ms. Rémy looks beautiful.
The whole Court looks beautiful.
Everyone's just trying to have a good time.
Tonight, hopefully I get
to just have fun with Ms. Rémy.
- With our heroine already delving into the past
to aid her present,
Ms. Rémy sneaks a glimpse into the future
with the help of some tea leaves
and a mysterious lady called Nicola.
- Hi. - Hello.
My name's Nicola.
I'm a psychic, clairvoyant. - Hi.
[eerie music]
- Tea leaf reading, I think it'll be fun
and, like fresh to have a different opinion on things
and to kind of see,
am I thinking a relationship is working
and then she's gonna say, like,
"No, I don't see you two together."
I mean, it could take a turn for the worst.
- I'm going to ask you to hold the teapot.
Think about the type of love
that you'd like to have in your life.
The perfect person.
Now, Nicole, if you could just pour some tea.
- Why am I nervous? - I am really nervous.
[tea pouring]
- What I see here in the cup,
I feel that Jesse is a really good catch.
Big heart, very honest.
But I am being shown wedding bells, Jesse,
so I think you're ready for marriage.
- I could see myself marrying Jesse.
He's a great guy, and I feel like he would be
an even better husband. Like...yes.
- We could stop there. That was--
that was pretty spot-on. - [laughs]
- Good readings. She saw, potentially,
a marriage in the future.
- Thank you, Jesse. - I think I also see
a date here soon. - [laughs]
- I think marriage is a huge step.
And I am a person that wants that step.
- Earlier, Mr. Rémy was tasked
with getting inside the mind of Mr. Bochicchio.
And it's fair to say that he's yet to warm
to our headstrong New Yorker.
- Mr. Bochicchio has made a better impression on Nicole
than he has with us.
- He was very clear with us early on
that he was not necessarily ready for commitment.
And I thought, "Well, why are you here?"
And we just want to make sure that he's genuine.
We want to protect our daughter's heart.
- So I'm curious,
could you see yourself marrying Nicole?
[tense music]
- I'm shocked.
Mr. Rémy is grilling me,
.
[lively music]
- Back at the pleasure gardens,
if you're wondering what the smell of burning is,
it's not the fire dancers.
It's coming from the absolute roasting
that Mr. Rémy is giving Mr. Bochicchio.
- So I'm curious,
could you see yourself marrying Nicole?
[tense music]
- I could. - Hmm.
What has allowed you to evolve?
- I just look at how far we came
in, like, this short period of time.
I still have a lot of ways to go
to get to know her better,
but I think we challenge each other
Well, I'd like to toast you guys this evening.
I think you guys have come a long way.
And I appreciate the fact that you have evolved.
Mr. Bochicchio, whom I had not been a fan of
from the beginning, actually grew on me
the more and more I talked to him.
- It's great to be here. [glasses clink]
- Cheers.
- Not to be outdone by her husband,
and in a ploy that I'm calling a pincer move,
Mrs. Rémy is also asking some big questions.
- So, Christian, do you want kids?
[laughs] - [gulps]
Oh, is this--
- Yeah, I do. - Yes.
Yes? - I do, actually.
- Now obviously, you're attracted to Nicole.
What do you think your family would--
would think of her? And I--I say that
because, you know, we're a Black family.
- My family would totally accept Nicole.
- Okay. - And it's not even, like,
a question. My stepmom is actually
Afro-Brazilian. - Ah.
- And so it, like--
that's not, like, a crazy concept.
- I really do appreciate that. That means a lot to me.
Mr. Cones is like a big teddy bear.
He's fun, he's funny, he's kind.
I think Nicole would certainly have
a greater chance of happiness
with him than the other guys.
- Elsewhere, it's the turn
of the increasingly drunk Mr. Nazaire
to slap science and reason in the face
and see what the future holds
with the aid of Nicola's magic teapot.
- I don't like to know what happens
in the next five, ten minutes,
let alone my future.
- This cup is exceptional.
Can you see? There's hardly anything in it.
So actually, you would really like
to be in a relationship.
So I feel you've got
a lot of love in your heart to give.
And you're ready to give it.
So I would like to really see
the two of you dating.
You just need to go off into the sunset
and enjoy.
- I don't know how much
I'm gonna pay this tea reader,
but I'm gonna pay her a lot,
because she's saying the right things.
And I'm looking at Nicole and I'm like,
"Hell yeah. That's all true."
Like, slam dunk.
- Sorry to interrupt. - [groans]
- Your time has ended. - Yes, it has.
[laughter]
- I don't really believe
in the hocus pocus mumbo jumbo.
But the fortune telling kind of does worry me
a little bit, because I don't want
somebody to, like, tell me what is gonna happen
and then me, like, start thinking that way.
So I'm just gonna take it with, like, a grain of salt, is it?
A pinch of salt.
I'm gonna take it with a pinch of salt.
- Ah, Danny. [laughs]
[tense music]
Now--[chuckles] - Oh, no.
- Hmm.
There's much more to find out about Danny yet.
Open your heart.
Forget about the past. Trust.
And tell her how you feel.
- It's just [bleep] crazy that she actually knew that.
- You have to understand that not everyone knows
what's going on here. You have to tell them.
Don't just assume everyone's a mind reader,
because they're not.
- No, we wanted to get a mind reader,
but they were all booked, which is why we had to get
a tea leaf reader instead.
[dramatic music]
Meanwhile, the Court's plan to interrogate the group
leads the younger Mr. Rémy to Mr. Judge.
- I think it's real important for Nicole
to get to know Jesse's story.
And I'm pulling no punches.
I'm asking hard questions
about navigating some of the complexities
that still come with being
a person of color in our country.
When you think about, you know, joining
a Black family, you know, and you think
about navigating that reality, has that crossed your mind
at this--you know, at any point in time yet?
- If I'm gonna be truthful,
I've never really thought about that barrier.
Just because I never saw it as a barrier or anything.
Hopefully that's something that I can be informed of.
Expanding outside of my little environment
that I've been held to,
and really learning about new perspectives.
- I really appreciate that.
And I see that you care about my sister.
Like, honestly, it makes me happy
and excited to know that if she was to choose you,
she's gonna get someone who has a really big heart,
and who--who cares a lot, so, um...
- Cheers, man. - To you.
No, honestly.
- Mrs. Baker follows the rest of the family's lead.
And it's Mr. Nazaire's turn to be put on the spot.
- What does it look like,
Nicole fitting into your family?
- I lost a connection with my family
for a very long time,
because of my last relationship,
- Ohh.
- My family and my ex's family...
- Mm-hmm. - They hated each other.
And that was when I was 19. - Oh.
- Um, because it was such a disastrous experience
I went through, it's really important for me
to never let that happen again.
I would do everything in my-- in my heart to make
that--those families work.
I haven't had the chance to get close to someone enough
or to see that through again and see how that would work.
I've done so much work
to get where I'm at in my life, career-wise.
I'm happy where I'm at.
There's definitely something missing.
I miss love. Like, if I'm--
if I'm really honest with you, like--
- That's what you're here for?
To fall in love with Nicole?
- It's a feeling that I've had,
otherwise I wouldn't be here.
You know, I know there's a connection there
between myself and Nicole.
What that connection is and where it will lead to,
I don't know yet.
But I am on this journey
and ready to have a happy ending.
- Oh, my gosh. - Yeah.
- Ah! This could be major. - Yeah.
- I have heard more convincing "yeahs."
While Mr. Nazaire searches for a happy ending,
Mr. Chapman's future is shrouded
in much more mystery.
Will the tea leaves help him?
Or will they just spell out the word "run" written in tea?
Let's find out. - Ooh.
I'm being shown half a heart.
You've got half of the things that you need.
So you tick the boxes attractive, intellectual level,
but there is something missing.
- The tea leaf reader sees
half a heart with Lincoln and I.
And that's kind of beautiful.
You know, both Lincoln and I are putting in our hearts
and we're making a full one.
- What this other half of the heart means
is there's more to build on.
- Something missing might be that she's in love with me
and I'm not sure if I'm there yet.
- So if we were to set you free now,
this would be a relationship that built and grew.
And that is a very, very positive thing.
- This reading is giving me the validation
that the feelings that I have for Lincoln,
the feelings that he has for me,
means that he should be here.
- So I hope that's helped. - Yeah.
- Clearly what Mr. Chapman is telling Ms. Rémy
and what he's actually thinking
are two very different things.
Coming up on "The Courtship"...
competition heats up a notch
both on the dance floor...
- I always tell you the truth.
And--[bleep] off.
* *
- And in the Gentlemen's Parlor.
- Like, I can't imagine living with someone.
Could hardly live with you guys.
- Nicole doesn't have
a full understanding of Lincoln.
.
- At the Regency pleasure garden,
the carousel is turning,
the fire twirlers are spinning...
- So tell me, have you ever done this before?
- No. [chuckles]
And I don't intend on doing it either.
- I can't wait for that over there.
- Oh, to hear your fortune.
- And Mr. Nazaire... well, Mr. Nazaire
is absolutely hammered, to be fair.
- Somebody cut Miles off.
[jaunty music]
* *
[applause]
- Meanwhile, Mr. Cones is sizing up the opportunity
to steal Ms. Rémy away from Mr. Chapman
for his tea leaf reading.
- [giggles] - Oh, hello.
- I think it's my turn.
- Okay. - I'm ready.
I've been waiting for this all night.
- Thank you.
- I'm super into, like, you know, kind of, like--
What is this, like, conspiracy--
not conspiracy, this is, like--
I'm into, like, tarot card reading,
and, like, astrology.
Like, ooh, tea.
So I'm really hoping my future's looking bright.
- Okay.
- I can't wait to actually find out what she says.
Hopefully, it's nothing bad.
Oh, my God, that would be such a sick, southward turn.
- On paper, I don't think the two of you match.
But that doesn't matter,
because you would really make Nicole laugh.
And that's something that some of the others
try to do but don't actually tick the box there.
So laughter, let me tell you,
is the key to love. - [chuckles]
- So keep that going. I hope that's helped.
[laughs]
- We have so much to talk about.
I'm not even kidding. - [laughs]
- I'm not even kidding. I'm not even kidding!
I--I--I got the heebie-jeebies right now.
- Good. - Holy crap.
[laughter]
- Cheered and slightly freaked out
by the accuracy of the tea leaf reading,
Mr. Cones and Ms. Rémy head to the dance floor...
- I love this. - [laughs]
- What am I doing wrong here?
- Everything.
- Where the clamor for Ms. Rémy's attention
is ramping up.
- I feel like, outside of this,
you're always gonna grill me.
- You give me the same facial expression all the time,
and I'm like, how does this kid really feel?
- I--I always tell you the truth.
- No, I know you do. - No, but, and--
[bleep] off.
- [laughs]
- Miles, my suitor, my man.
- He really said-- - I was--
I was gonna jump in. - That was so serious.
He said "[bleep] off."
- Yeah. - Okay.
- [laughs]
- As the festivities continue,
Ms. Rémy seeks out the company
of a certain Mr. Chapman on the carousel.
This is the first time
that I've really gotten the chance
to talk to Lincoln one-on-one
since he surprised me at the Farewell Ball.
I know he's hesitant about settling down
his nomadic lifestyle.
But we're having the opportunity
to talk about what happened last week
and move forward in our relationship.
I know that you were worried about not being able
to give me the life that I want.
- Yeah. - Coming into this,
I thought that I wanted, like, the perfect guy
with, like, the perfect job and the perfect house,
and, you know, that wanted kids right away.
I'm realizing so much that, like, what I want
is somebody... [takes deep breath]
Somebody that looks at me the way you do.
* *
And, like, makes my heart skip a beat.
- [sighs]
- I don't think Lincoln has
Nicole's best interests in heart,
and I don't want to see her get hurt.
And if she's looking for somebody
that encompasses everything that she's looking for,
then she needs to spend more time with me
in order to see the other sides that I got to offer.
So I don't know. It just seems messy.
- I'm terrified of regret.
Like, I can't imagine
our conversation in the Parlor being the end.
That wasn't closure at all.
She looks at me the same way she did before.
It's really special.
But, you know, my feelings are the same.
I still don't know if this is just lust.
As long as you have, like, the patience
to, like, watch me figure myself out,
I'm gonna stick it out and try to figure it out with you,
so...
- Lincoln, I'll be patient with you.
No doubt in my mind. I have the patience
for the people I really care about.
I feel like we've moved on from last week.
I feel like I can be vulnerable with him
because now he's been vulnerable with me.
And when you feel
that once-in-a-lifetime connection with somebody,
it's, like, how do you-- how do you give up on that?
He's somebody I care about
and somebody that I could see a future with.
So I want to give him that.
Like, take the time that you need.
[romantic music]
- I could be wearing sweatpants,
living in my van, and, uh, wondering
what the hell I might have missed out on.
- [laughs] - No, no,
I'm keeping it there. - [laughs]
- But right now I'm still in front of a castle,
still dressed like this, and, uh, you know,
we'll see if my feelings can grow.
- As the pleasure garden begins to wind down...
- I'm getting tired. - I know.
- Mrs. Baker and Miss Cleary are indulging
in the favorite Regency pleasure garden pastime,
moderate to heavy drinking.
- We're like the drunk aunts in this event.
- I always wanted to be a drunk aunt.
Should we cheers to this epic night?
Let's do, like, a little around the world situation, yeah.
* *
Mmm.
That made everything better. - That made me
kind of warm, honestly.
- It's time for Nicole to bid farewell
to the one gentleman who has been
a constant source of strength and support.
- I gotta say goodbye to you guys.
- Dom, I'm so grateful for you being here.
- You're gonna find your own person,
and you're gonna build something brand-new
that is amazing.
- You love me so much, and I can feel it.
And you care about me so much.
[both sobbing]
Having Dom here to support me, to confide in,
to show me love,
I feel empowered to move on in this journey without him.
I just hope that in the end
I can make the right decision,
and make this whole thing worth my family's time.
- I don't think you have any idea
how proud of you I am.
There is nothing that could make me happier
than to know that you are becoming
who you're supposed to be in this world.
- Dom...[laughs]
- There's nothing.
- With Ms. Rémy losing one of her fiercest allies,
she cannot afford to let
her scrutiny of the suitors waver.
Coming up on "The Courtship"...
the carnival is over, and so are the games.
- Right now I just want to know, like,
who feels like they can have
some kind of commitment at the end of this.
What if we were boyfriend and girlfriend?
.
[dramatic classical music]
- It's the next day,
and Perkins has really outdone himself
setting an exquisite spread
down by the lake,
as our heroine regales her Court--
and the eavesdropping Perkins--
with the events of last night.
- Quite an exciting evening. - Sure was.
- Beautiful carousel and fire twirlers.
And I heard you had some fortunes told as well.
- It was funny, some of the guys were
really into it, and the other ones were
very skeptical.
And I'm excited to hear how conversations went
during the carnival.
all: Ahh.
- Meanwhile, our band of boisterous boys
catch up over a game of Regency bowls.
Closest to the jack wins.
[balls clack] all: Oh!
- You guys feeling a little recovered
after that carnival night we had?
- Honestly, that was my favorite night.
- Well, I spoke to Mr. Cones. It was a really sweet talk.
He's got such a good heart.
- I was trying to get Mrs. Rémy
to go in that cage with me. - [laughs]
- I had a great conversation with Mr. Rémy
about marriage, about future.
All of these hard questions, but it seemed so easy.
I think it went well.
- I was actually quite impressed
with Mr. Bochicchio.
I like the fact that he talked
about how his brother's his best friend.
- That's so cute.
- Could he be your Mr. Darcy, Nicole?
- Ooh, ooh. - Wow.
What about Lincoln?
- He's growing every day. - He's growing.
- He really is. - He is growing.
Obviously you guys know, like, how attracted I am to him.
I feel like we have one of the more progressed
relationships here, which is really exciting.
I think it's worth giving it a shot, you know?
- Are you still undecided about love or lust?
- [sighs] Um...
Yeah, I haven't had, like, a morning where I woke up yet
and I know I'm in love with her.
- Miles, based off the conversations
I had with him, he is ready.
There's, like, so much more to him.
- And you do know life with him would be fun and exciting.
- Oh, my gosh, so fun. - No doubt.
- And funny. - We do have a lot in common.
But I feel like with him, too,
with his, like, socialite lifestyle,
like, how much is he willing to sacrifice
and give up for me?
- We're gonna choose
who you go on a date with today.
So who do you need to spend more time with?
- Jesse. He's a great guy,
and I feel he would be an incredible dad.
I feel like he would be a great husband.
But I still need to get to know
more about him. [dragonfly buzzing]
- Oh, my gosh. - They're mating.
- Yes. Mating dragonflies.
- Really setting the mood.
[laughter]
- I'm a little jealous. [laughs]
- I'll bet they don't have commitment issues.
While the dragonflies frolic and the peacocks recline,
today Mr. Judge will take our heroine
on a carriage-led trip to the countryside
where apple-picking, a picnic, and cider await.
- I really want to show her a little bit
a piece of me from home
that I can incorporate into our future.
But this would be a typical day for me back home.
- Oh, look at this one. Look at this.
- That's a cherry. - It's like a cherry!
- That's a cherry, right there. - Isn't that?
- In Regency times,
only the finest of country estates
would have an orchard.
And those fortunate enough to do so
would collect apples in the fall
to make cider,
with many farm laborers even paid in it.
- Do you know how to juggle? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- I'm gonna time it. Okay.
- Oh. [laughs]
- Here's a question for you.
Did you ever fall in love?
- Once. But he broke my heart.
Like, he ended up moving and didn't ask me to come,
didn't ask me to do long distance.
But I knew it was love. I have no regrets.
What about you?
- I was working across the state,
about an hour, two hours,
and she had brought me dinner unexpectedly.
- That is the biggest sign of love, isn't it?
- Right? - It sounds so ridiculous,
but the act of service--
this girl was willing to sacrifice her time
just to make me happy-- made me fall in love.
And that's what I like about you so much
is I don't think you're about the materialistic things.
You're more about providing support,
making people feel wanted.
- I love the fact that he's opening up.
I feel like every time we hang out
I'm, like, building the blocks with him.
However, I still feel like he's a secure,
like, safe bet.
I don't know if he has enough edge to him.
But his lips are like butter. [laughs]
He's gorgeous.
- Drunk on lust
and 8% industrial-strength cider,
Mr. Judge and Ms. Rémy make their way
back to the castle.
There they encounter Mr. Nazaire.
- Hey, hey, hey. - Hello.
- You don't know how to read. Quit pretending.
- [laughing] Oh, my...
Um, do you mind if maybe Miles and I
can chat for a little bit?
- Thank you for today. - [laughs]
I'll see you later. - Take care of her, Miles.
- Miles, honestly, he is a babe.
The tea leaf reader says that Miles has
a lot of love to give, and my sister loves him.
So I'm excited to spend more time with him,
see what happens.
How are you feeling about the carnival?
- Oh, I had way too much fun. - [laughs]
- I've never crunked before.
- Oh, my gosh, bless your heart.
- How did you find everything?
- Exciting. Really scary too.
I mean, it's down to five people.
And so right now I just want to know, like,
who feels like they can have
some kind of commitment at the end of this.
And I just want to know, like, what are your thoughts
on commitment right now?
- I've come on this amazing adventure
with you and your family, and it's--it's been--
it's been, honestly, beautiful and amazing.
I'm very proud of being who I am.
And having you around, coming to London,
and showing you my world
would be absolutely fantastic.
- Like, what does it look like, my work, your work?
- My work in London is all year.
I wish I could pick up my laptop
and then go somewhere.
It's something that I would love to do,
but, in all honesty, I don't know
how that would work.
- Let's take it back a few steps.
Not, like, if we were married.
What if we were boyfriend and girlfriend?
[bright classical music]
- What if we were boyfriend and girlfriend?
- Um... - Does that scare you?
- It's not like it's scary.
I haven't called someone my girlfriend
in a very long time.
- How long? - Four years.
My life in terms of, like, kids and marriage,
I definitely know that I want that.
I've never been those guys-- "Oh, I'll wait.
If it happens, it happens." It's not that.
I--I know I want that.
When that is, I don't know. - Okay.
I feel like with Miles, he's incredibly attractive,
he's charming.
I know the life that he's gonna offer me
would be exciting, fun, flashy.
I would love for him to be like,
"Yeah, I'm ready for commitment."
I'd be like, "Absolutely."
But is it worth taking the risk right now?
- Inside, the suitors discuss
what an ideal relationship would look like
back in the modern world.
- Can you see a life outside,
in, like, the real world with Nicole?
- Yeah. Like, I could totally imagine,
like, me and Nicole and our two little corn dogs
doing a cheers to, like, a four-year anniversary.
That just sounds like such a real memory.
- I see a dope life, to be honest.
Basketball games at The Garden,
Danny Baker giving me, like, the stink eye
from across the room.
It's all good that we're all, like,
at least thinking like that.
- How would you see yourself?
- To be honest with you, I think my ideal relationship
would be super light and casual.
Not-- - Living with you?
- Not full-time.
I would come and visit her in Seattle.
She could hop on the road and, like,
do a weekend with me or a week with me in the van.
I can't imagine living with someone.
That's a big thing.
Could hardly live with you guys.
There's times where I want to be alone
and not communicate for days on end.
I hate when a conversation is, "What are you doing?"
Over text, and then an hour later,
a long time ago, rather than
risking her heart as well as all of ours.
Time is ticking.
And she's losing out on opportunities
with the rest of us.
- As the hunt for enduring love intensifies
and our suitors' commitment is questioned,
who has won over the affections of Ms. Rémy?
And who has won themselves a seat
on the dreaded carriage out of here?
All will be revealed in the Farewell Dance.
- Going into tonight's Farewell Dance,
I'm feeling every emotion.
I'm feeling sad, I'm feeling excited,
I'm feeling confused, I'm feeling undecided.
I feel like I'm battling with what I know
is good for me and what, maybe,
I don't know that I actually need.
Ugh, God, it's so tough.
[dramatic classical music]
* *
- Gentlemen, it's been a week of mixed fortunes.
But whose future is looking bright,
and whose future is looking bleak?
Only Ms. Rémy knows.
For those of you dismissed,
a carriage is waiting outside.
This evening, there will be two dances.
- [mouthing word]
- I have Ms. Rémy's Dance Card here.
If I read out your name, please step forward.
You might be saying farewell tonight.
- I'm not sure what to expect,
but I wouldn't be surprised if Lincoln went home,
considering he's not 100% willing to commit.
* *
- Mr. Nazaire.
- This journey's been fantastic.
And I want to continue this,
but at the end of the day,
Nicole needs to make a decision.
She can't leave with five guys.
So it's just up to her to let the other boys go.
- And Mr. Judge.
- After today's date, I didn't think
I would be called on the dance floor at all.
I mean, we had a very good time.
I know Miles has a way with words.
So lot of emotion standing next to him.
I'm staying on my toes
and being prepared for anything.
- If your name was not on the Dance Card,
please make your way up to the balcony.
Your journey in romance continues.
* *
- I'm safe, but I feel like
Nicole's lustful feelings for Lincoln
could have been getting in the way
for all of us who are here
for something more than just lust.
For the rest of us here that are here for actual love.
* *
- Okay, maestro, start the music, please.
Let's see who is staying and who is out of time.
[elegant string music]
* *
- This decision right now, between Miles and Jesse,
it's scary.
Jesse's a safe bet, and Miles is a risk.
I've dated the safe bet.
My concern with Jesse is I don't ever want
things to feel too comfortable.
I want to feel like somebody's pushing me
and things are exciting, and flirty, and fun.
And I feel like I get that with Miles.
He offers that chivalry that I came here for.
I feel like I really need to look at the two of them
next to each other and think
which life I'm most happy with.
And it's scary.
I'm confused right now.
[dramatic classical music]
.
[dramatic classical music]
- We rejoin the Farewell Dance
where Ms. Rémy must decide
whether to play it safe with country boy Mr. Judge
or take a risk
with the high society Mr. Nazaire.
The stakes could not be higher.
* *
- Mr. Judge, I feel like life with you would be safe,
and it would be comfortable, and it would be easy.
But I also want it to be fun, exciting, and adventurous.
Mr. Nazaire, from day one, you really did show me
what a proper British chap... - [chuckles]
- Should be. - [chuckles]
- I'm just worried about your level of commitment.
I hope you know, like, I'm here looking for love,
and boyfriend and girlfriend is just one step to it.
- The spontaneity of a relationship
I have no concern about.
I have so much more to learn and so much more to see.
I think a spontaneous trip somewhere
is gonna be both beneficial for you and me.
- [whispers] He's so cute.
- It's really up to you to see if you can fit
in a very odd life I live.
I know it's very complicated for a lot of people,
but you are beautiful and wonderful,
and I'm always prepared to make things work.
- I've dated the guy who was a safe bet,
and he was incredible,
but it just never really fulfilled me
in the way I was hoping.
You're, like, everything I'm looking for.
You're gorgeous, you're exciting,
you're a great time.
I love that so much about you.
I think...
- I think, in this case, the safe bet
really is a great bet.
Life with you could be really fantastic.
I just want to see you let your hair down
and have fun and be spontaneous with me
and just relax.
[light music]
- I think he got good news. [chuckles]
- Obviously you're safe.
So go ahead and join the boys.
- Thank you.
I do see myself being in the finals.
And I think it's gonna be
down to the skin of the teeth.
It'll be splitting hairs to find out
who will be the perfect fit for Nicole.
- [sighs]
I just don't think our lifestyles
would work together.
But I appreciate you, you cheeky chap.
[chuckles] - You naughty minx.
You're just a wonderful and beautiful girl,
and you deserve the world.
Make sure you give these men
a run for their money.
There are a couple of cheeky chaps up there.
- I can tell. [both chuckle]
- Aw, so sweet.
- Oh, my God. - That's so sweet.
- [sighs] This is farewell.
And your carriage awaits, but I hope
it's not goodbye forever. - Definitely not.
Boys, take care of her, okay?
- How chivalrous was that exit? - Little bit.
- I'm not used to dating like this.
My life is very fast-paced.
You know, you go on a couple of dates,
you have too many drinks, and that's it.
Here it's really trying to find
a connection with someone, and I think
it's something that I definitely will try
back at home.
The dating world now
is so complicated and so complex,
and it's quite nice to strip it back a little bit.
[horse snorts]
So I've learnt that I'm interested
to take my time to know someone.
And I like that.
- Gentlemen, just four suitors remain.
And I wish you all luck on your journey in romance.
Now enjoy yourselves. Have some fun.
- I'm happy about tonight's decision.
The guys that are here really do care for me.
- Come here. Come here.
Oh, my gosh.
My feet went completely numb.
- Right here and now,
in this castle, in this world,
those four boys, they mean everything to me.
- It's getting down to, like, four guys.
So a lot of pressure.
- Each guy has a one in four chance
of becoming my husband.
How crazy is that?
- As the house staff gradually extinguish
the castle lights,
there's still one midnight flame
that burns bright.
[knock at door]
[suspenseful music]
* *
- Hi. - What's up?
- [chuckles] Mm.
Good, how are you doing? - Oh, I'm so good.
- I'm glad you're here. - This is kind of
our thing, huh? - Yeah, sneaking in here?
- I don't mind it.
- This is a nice surprise.
This is the Lincoln that I've been wanting,
and the one that I've seen before.
I'm just so happy you're here.
- I'm really happy I stayed too.
- Have you been feeling better about things?
- Yeah.
- Let's do it. [laughs]
Lincoln and I are complete opposites.
And I never thought that I would fall for a guy
that lives on the road.
But I can't fight the feeling that I have.
And clearly he can't either.
I love the fact that Lincoln snuck in.
I mean, who wouldn't be?
I mean, come on, who wouldn't be, right?
You still feeling antsy?
- No. Trust me, like,
I know, like, the connection we have.
Like, the chemistry and, like, the feeling, like...
it's there.
- Like, a connection like ours,
I feel like comes, like, once in a lifetime.
[sweeping music]
* *
- In the next chapter of "The Courtship"...
- Whoa. - Help me wrangle
these ducks here! [ducks quacking]
- Hard truths surface.
- It feels like when I'm talking to her
she sees a future and I just don't.
- And one suitor exposes
the true intentions of his rival...
- I just got an anonymous letter
telling me that one of you guys here
doesn't mean anything he says.
- Sending the Court into a tailspin.
- This whole situation makes me so angry.
- This is not gonna work out. - There's no way.
- This isn't a fling.
This is my [bleep] life.
