- [laughing] Oh, my gosh.
[gasps]
I had my heart broken, and instead of running away
from that feeling of love, I've decided to chase
that feeling because it's so worth it.
And that's why I'm trying this whole experiment.
Modern dating is not working for me.
- This season, one modern woman traveled
back in time to find love.
- I'm ready to fall in love and find love like they did
in the Jane Austen novels.
- There, Ms. Rémy was courted
by 19 eligible suitors convinced that the ways
of the past hold the key to their futures.
- I hope I'm not intruding.
Flowers for you here.
- I've got some gifts. I've also got a sword.
- Oh, my gosh!
- With her court beside her,
a love story for the ages unfolded,
one forged in the fires of the Regency era.
It's scary feeling feelings for multiple people.
Like, it's starting to happen.
- Yeah. - Really like you, Danny.
- Really like you too.
- One by one, our suitors fell at the Farewell Dance.
- This is farewell.
- You're making a big mistake.
- Your carriage is outside.
- It is my sister's heart, so they can show you the door.
- You didn't have to be with her last night.
You're hiding this from her family.
- I feel confident with the decisions
that I've made so far.
- * Let's talk about us *
- Wow, um...
I don't think it's the right choice for us to continue.
- For the last year, I've just been driving around small town
to small town, like, hoping I meet someone
that makes me want to stay in one place.
- Our heroine fell head over heels for one suitor,
only for him to break her heart.
- If things were gonna work, it would have to be
just, like, a really fun fling.
- This isn't a fling. This is my [bleep] life.
I need you to go. - Yeah.
- And with the flighty Mr. Chapman having fled
fled from the castle, three gentlemen remain.
Only two will make it to the final Farewell Ball,
where Ms. Rémy must make the biggest decision
of her life.
- I'm grateful for all three,
and I hope that I can continue to follow my heart
and just find my forever.
- Tonight you're gonna be choosing the gentleman
that you want to spend the rest of your life with.
Are you ready for the ball? - Never been more ready.
- Who will she choose?
Find out in the epic conclusion
of "The Courtship."
[both screaming]
[soft classical music]
* *
- I came here because
I've had my heart broken before,
and I fall really fast.
That was the catalyst that got me to here.
I want a proposal, and I want a commitment
at the end of this.
I hope that I can continue to follow my heart
and just...find my forever.
I almost have a weight off my shoulders
because I was putting so much faith into somebody
that didn't have the same faith in us.
- Yeah.
- I want somebody that's here for commitment.
I've put too much into this process
and given too much of myself
to not receive a reciprocated feeling, you know?
- I agree. - Yeah.
- Yeah, and I have to say, I mean, Mom and Dad,
like, you guys called it.
You knew that that wasn't the life that I wanted to live,
and I just appreciate you guys being honest with me.
I love you guys. I do.
- We love you too. - That's why you're here.
- We love you too. - That's what parents are for.
- I needed that reality check.
- Well, you know, it's always fun to think
of something exciting and different and spontaneous
and new, but that newness wouldn't last,
and it would become really frustrating,
and you would feel alone.
And it's good that things happened early enough
for you to be able to make some better choices, so...
- I agree. I agree. - Yeah.
- I feel like the three guys that are left
really are here for me. - Thank you.
- And I don't have to do anything different
with them, you know?
- I agree. - Yeah.
- So I just feel like all three of them are so incredible.
Mr. Cones, he gives me the space
to just be myself unapologetically.
- You can't not love him. - He's so wonderful.
- And then there's Mr. Bochicchio.
I think that guy is so genuine.
I think that everything he says,
he really thinks about, you know, the honesty in it,
and if it doesn't feel honest, he won't say it.
I know and I can feel that he cares.
And then we have Mr. Judge.
I'm, like, constantly surprised.
This guy shows up late to the party
and still can dance with the belle of the ball.
It's, like, amazing. - Yeah, he did.
And I think this whole journey, you guys have seen
such a beautiful side of him that's, you know,
more subtle, not as outspoken,
but still charismatic, sweet, and endearing.
- Yeah.
- Like, that's what I want in a partner; I really do.
We're getting to the end of this,
and it's gonna be tough.
- Right now, Nicole has the weight
of the world on her shoulder.
- This is not a game.
We fully expect that she's going
to end this by choosing someone
that she really does love and someone who loves her.
We don't want her to make the wrong choice.
We want her to be happy.
- "Daily Tea." - Another "Daily Tea."
- "Society Papers.
"After Mr. Chapman was chased from the premises
by the castle hounds..."
- Ooh.
- "Three suitors woke to find themselves saved
by Ms. Rémy's clemency."
- "But that's all in the past.
Now we can take a peek into the future."
- Ooh, okay.
- "It's time to cast off the silk gloves
as we take a pin to our Regency bubble.
- Okay.
- Sounds like we're getting out of these damn clothes.
- "How much do we really know about the relationships
"of our heroine and suitors?
"Find out with a series of dates
I feel like as much as I'd love to stay in this castle
and in this time period, like, we've got to go
to modern world because it's really gonna allow me
to see what these guys are like in real life
and what our lives could look like outside of this.
We're down to the final three,
and I feel like these three dates are gonna be huge
in deciding, you know,
what decision I make in the end.
I wonder what Christian would pick.
- Oh, my gosh. - He's so thoughtful.
- Yeah.
- Like, I just think whatever he's gonna do is gonna be
something that I'll remember forever.
- Yeah. - You know?
- Wow, this is gonna be so weird,
leaving the castle and just seeing cars
and phones and civilization.
- I feel like I'm gonna forget how to pick up a normal glass.
I've just been drinking out of tea glass this entire time.
- Or what if she, like, hates us in modern era?
What if, like, we're only cool in Regency era?
- Oh, she's crazy. - [laughs]
This has to be the most exciting piece of paper
I have read in my whole entire life
because we are going back to present-day world,
and I'm feeling like I'm about to shine.
- I think it's good to spend some time
with them in a modern world.
- Yeah, what happens if you hate one of their styles?
- We...
- Well, style is-- - You can fix that.
- You can easily change, yeah. [laughter]
- It's gonna be a little bit of a culture shock.
- I'm excited.
I'm ready to show her how I can be a 21st-century knight
in shining armor.
- Yeah.
- So I'm gonna hop into the 21st century,
and I'll see you guys back in the 19th, yeah?
- Have fun. - Oh, my gosh.
Have so much fun.
- Love you guys.
* *
[exciting music]
- I've dressed up, some might say overdressed,
to wave Ms. Rémy off from the castle gates.
Once she passes through them,
she'll return to the realms of the modern world.
My original idea was to put her on a horse
traveling exactly 88 miles per hour,
but that was swiftly quashed.
Good morning, Ms. Rémy. How are you?
- I'm doing well. Thank you.
How are you? - Very well indeed.
Let's cast you forward in the mists of time,
and remember, at the end of these dates,
one suitor will be going home.
* *
Best of luck, Mrs. Rémy.
Mrs. Rémy? Unusual.
- Not married yet. - Not yet.
- Hoping to get there. - Yeah.
Right, then.
It's time to send you back to the future.
- Thank you, Mr. Edwards.
I'll see you soon.
At this point, I could imagine all three dates going amazing.
And then if I fall hard and in love
with every single one of these guys,
how do I make a decision?
* *
- Coming up on "The Courtship,"
can Ms. Rémy envision a life with her gentlemen
once she sees them in modern times?
- You know, my dad actually wears that.
- Oh, my God.
- I want to feel like a princess.
I want to feel desired and valued and beautiful.
I want to feel like this could be real.
- And only two suitors will return to the Regency world
in the most heartbreaking elimination yet.
- I'm so sorry that it's not you.
- And then it's the shocking ending
that you never saw coming.
[both screaming]
[dramatic music]
- It's time to send you back to the future.
- Thank you, Mr. Edwards.
I'll see you soon.
* *
- It's time for our heroine and suitors
to leave our Regency haven
and step back into the modern world
to see whether a relationship grown
under the conditions of a 19th-century courtship
can take root and blossom in the 21st century.
The first suitor to step out into the modern world
is New York real estate agent Danny Bochicchio.
- I'm excited to see Danny.
From our very first interaction,
I knew that there was always something special
about Danny B.
- Excuse me. - Oh, hi.
- Ms. Rémy, Mr. Bochicchio. - Oh, hi.
And when I invited him on our first date,
there were fireworks,
literally.
* *
I love that he is so assertive,
and I love that he's never shy
about showing his affection in public.
Our connection and chemistry is undeniable,
but I came here for a proposal.
- At the end of this process, I know you want,
like, proposal or whatever.
- And with Danny, I feel like he hasn't gotten
to that place yet.
- I'm really curious to know how he feels this week.
I need to see more vulnerability from him
and also just make sure
that he's always being honest with me.
* *
- Mr. Bochicchio has elected for a mustard turtleneck
and looks like he's about to sell me a waterfront property
that I can't afford.
- Hi. - Yes!
- I wanted to run to you, but I have these heels on.
Hi.
* *
- Look at you. My God, love this.
Nicole looks [bleep] amazing today.
Sorry, excuse my language, but she looks super hot today.
- You do? - Yeah, I love it.
- You look incredible too.
- Oh, my. - Oh, my.
* *
- So I'm very excited to be going on a date
with Nicole in modern times.
This is literally what I've been waiting for
since the beginning.
- This is so fun. - Right?
This is like normal life. - Yeah.
- Throughout the whole process,
I've had trouble expressing myself,
seeing Nicole with other guys.
Today I'm gonna put all that behind me,
and I'm gonna show her what life could be like
with me in the future.
- Do you miss your knickers? - No, I don't miss them.
You like the turtleneck?
I'm trying something a little different.
- Oh, really?
You know, my dad actually wears that.
- Does he? - Turtlenecks are his thing.
- Oh, my God, imagine.
- They always say you marry your father.
[laughs] Anyway.
Okay, so tell me, why here?
- This is like a Saturday afternoon in New York City.
It's the old York.
Hopefully we can get you in the New York.
No, seriously. - [laughs]
- Let's go. Let's go.
* *
Nicole and I's journey has been rocky,
to say the least.
I really need to capture her heart because,
you know, I know there's other suitors
that have a relationship with her,
and now's my chance to really stand out.
- How do you feel about bicoastal life?
- Yeah, the more I speak to your parents, your sister,
and you about, like, Seattle, the more I'm like, "Okay."
- Yeah.
- Like, "That's a spot that I would love to be in."
- Yeah, okay.
Cheers, then. [laughs]
- Cheers.
* *
I'm not always the best at saying how I feel,
but, like, I always try to show you how I feel.
And now I'm more comfortable with you,
I wouldn't mind expressing, like, my feelings more.
I really like you, Nicole. I really like you.
I really do see a future with you.
And I hope that we can make this work after.
I really do think we could, and, you know,
in a year's time,
we come back to York, and we relive it.
- Do it all over again. - Do it all over again.
- I--no, I like that.
I feel like we're, like, already creating those memories
that we'll talk about later on in life.
- Like, literally I will talk about this
for the rest of my life.
I'm happy that Nicole and I were able
to share some of our feelings.
- I need some, like, arm room.
- I don't mind some arm room.
Last night, we were in a castle,
and now we're two normal people having normal lunch,
brunch, dinner, linner.
I'm just picturing you in New York, Staten Island, like,
"What the [...]?"
- Like, a good, "What the [...]?"
- Yeah, like-- - Okay. [laughs]
* *
It's just, like, easy
to imagine life with you, Danny.
* *
Shall we? - Yeah.
- Okay.
I know that Danny has a really tough time opening up,
and he's giving me that reassurance that I need,
maybe not as much as I was hoping for,
but at least he's giving me something.
I'm excited about that because that's what
I've been looking for.
I want to feel like this could be real.
* *
- I can't stop. I'm sorry.
- [laughs]
* *
- Elated after the success of her first modern date
with the turtlenecked Danny B.,
it's now the turn of wrestling coach
and all-around dreamboat Jesse Judge.
Cue costume change.
- I'm excited to see Jesse in the modern world.
Even though he showed up late, from day one, though,
he made sure to make me feel special.
* *
When Jesse first walked in, I immediately swooned.
- I feel like I've met you before.
- The way you're looking at me,
I feel like you've known me too.
And I could that that he's not
just gorgeous on the outside.
- Mr. Judge! - Oh!
But he's beautiful on the inside too.
- So I didn't have that picture-perfect upbringing.
So I took it on my own decision around 13, 14 years old
that I would leave the household.
I felt like I was cursed,
like, 'cause relationships just kept leaving my life,
but I think I've worked on myself
and healing from all that.
And that's why I came here.
- I mean, our chemistry, it's there.
I think anybody could see the sparks fly
when we're together.
He's tall, handsome, consistent,
also always full of surprises.
Honestly I feel like I've always dreamed
of marrying someone like Jesse.
[upbeat music]
Jesse is a small-town guy,
and I am kind of a big-city girl.
You know, I just want to know if he can keep up.
And the more time that I spend with him,
he seems more and more comfortable to do so.
So I hope that he feels comfortable today
and just shows me his true self.
* *
- I was super excited to get out of the Regency era finally
and have Nicole see me in not such a formal setting.
So I need to show her that I can be a man
and sweep her off her feet in the real world too.
So today I think I set up something
that Nicole is gonna love.
- Jesse.
- Look at you. - Hi.
- Nicole walking into the bar completely shocked me.
Where's your dress at? - [laughs]
- No.
She looks even more beautiful outside of her dress.
How are you? - I'm so good.
You look incredible.
I want you to spin. - Oh.
- Wow.
- Let's get a drink right here. - Okay.
This is so nice.
- You want to actually get this party started?
- Yeah, I do.
- I did a little bit of research,
and I think I figured out your favorite drink.
- What do you think my favorite drink is?
- French 75.
- Okay.
- Hi, guys, what can I get you?
- Would you mind if I tried to make it?
- Absolutely.
- Oh, my gosh, are you gonna bartend for me?
- Can I try? - Heck yeah.
Oh, my gosh. - I'll put on a show for you.
- Okay, let's see what you got.
- Here we go.
- Okay.
Oh, no measuring. We're just going for it.
- Just going for it. - Okay, oh, wow.
- That looks about right.
- That looks like that's a good time.
Maybe three good times.
- [laughs]
- Oh, now--wait, what's that?
[laughs]
Oh, my God.
I hope you're gonna help me drink this.
- No, this is all you.
- Okay, yeah, wow.
This is the most hearty French 75
I've ever seen in my life.
- Try it. - [laughs]
That is not... not palatable.
- [laughs]
- You know what? It's the intent.
Wait, come back here.
- You know, we'll have Connor
do a little bit better of a job.
- Come here.
* *
If it came down to the two of us in the end,
would you want a commitment?
- I would love a commitment.
- That's what makes me really excited about you
'cause you've been telling me from day one
that you're ready.
So maybe we should cheers to that.
- Hopefully that tastes a lot better than what I gave you.
Cheers.
* *
How was that one?
- Yours was better.
- Let me see if you're lying to me.
Definitely lying to me 'cause this tastes a lot better.
- Jesse is attractive, beautiful,
like, offering all the things that I'm looking for.
Imagining modern-day life with Jesse,
totally down for it.
- So going back into the normal world,
what would you take back from this Regency era
into the modern world?
- You know what I'd bring back is the idea
of having my family involved.
- Me, that was the answer. - Oh, my gosh,
I didn't know it was a person I could take back.
- It was me.
No, continue.
- Oh, of course.
Bringing you back would be out of this world.
It really would be, Jesse.
[soft music]
Do you feel like you've gotten out of this experience
what you've wanted?
- Not yet.
* *
- Thank you, sir. - Yes, milady.
* *
[laughs]
Oh!
* *
[mouthing words]
[laughter]
- I'm feeling ecstatic.
After today's date in a modern-world setting,
I feel like it's a lot more real.
- [laughs]
- We've taken a huge step in terms
of solidifying our relationship in the future.
- Oh, Jesse.
* *
I don't know what to do right now.
* *
Oh, God, I'm so confused.
* *
- Coming up on "The Courtship"...
- Oh, my God!
- Is romantic chemistry finally in the stars
for Christian and Nicole?
- What matters is this moment right now.
You deserve the moon and the stars
and everything in between.
* *
- And will it mean doom for Danny or Jesse?
[soft music]
- The final modern date falls to the man Nicole
has had the strongest emotional connection with,
Mr. Christian Cones.
- I'm so excited for my date with Christian.
When I'm with Christian, it always feels like home.
- Ms. Rémy, we're willing to jump
into discomfort for you.
- [screams, laughs]
Oh, my God!
- All right.
My little sausages need to be freed.
All right.
- Whoa!
And I know that I can always be my true self around him.
In high school, a lot of guys
wouldn't ask me out 'cause I was Black.
I felt like always the token or, like, the, like, pity.
- I'm sorry. We have to do better.
- This is what I'm looking for.
I want someone that makes me feel good.
- To everybody back there... - Honestly.
- Who just doesn't get it.
- You know, my parents always say
it's about having a friendship.
- If you ever need somebody to lean on,
I'm just a few doors down.
- He's proven that he'll always have my back.
- "Dear Ms. Rémy,
"Mr. Chapman's heart does not beat for you.
"You may think that he loves you, but he doesn't.
You deserve to know the truth."
* *
- It's about finding somebody who can be with you long-term
that just always makes you feel excited about life.
And that's Christian.
- I just can't quit looking at how beautiful you look.
- Thank you.
But I feel like because we're always either laughing
or talking about deep things that we don't make a lot
of space for just eye contact and, like, physical connection.
And I kind of want that to happen tonight.
- The ever-thoughtful Christian has
pulled out all the stops for his date.
He's got the moon. He's got the stars.
He's got some rapidly warming rosé.
But does he have what it takes
to win over the woman of his dreams?
- I have such a special surprise planned for Nicole
that I don't think there's any way
that the other guys could have thought
of anything like this.
- Christian, look at you in, like, normal clothes.
Oh, my God!
- Welcome to our own little universe.
- Oh, this is amazing. - Isn't it?
- Wow, all of this for me too.
Do a spin. - You look way--oh, my God.
- Wow. - Hold up.
- Look at his jacket. You look so good.
- This is-- - You want a spin?
Yes, give me the whole-- - Here it is.
- Oh, my God, wow.
You know what? You can rock the age-old dress.
You can rock this leather jacket.
You do it all.
- Thank you.
You look incredible.
- I could absolutely get used to this.
- Regency me or 21st-century me?
- Whatever you want.
21st century works perfectly.
- Okay, cool.
You put all this together for me.
This is so sweet. - Yep.
- Wow, let's see the stars.
This is so incredible.
- We have had way too many cloudy nights
here in England, so...
- Yeah.
- I thought I would bring the stars to you.
- I love that.
- So I live about two hours away
from Joshua Tree National Park,
and every chance I can, I, like, love to go out there.
This actually would be a typical date,
just stargazing,
but tell me, like,
what is life like for you outside the castle?
- I have a really great relationship with my family.
You've have seen it. - Mm-hmm.
- And during the summertimes,
we do boat days on the weekend, and that's so fun.
Boat days in Seattle are insane.
- Yeah.
- Like, go out on the water, go to a brewery,
get food after, and then, like, go to a club,
you know what I mean, or go to a--
- Ooh, yeah. - Yeah, or, like, go to a bar.
- Maybe some karaoke?
- I love to do that kind of stuff.
- Me outside of the Regency world,
like, this is something that I would do with someone,
I would do alone.
And as a matter of fact,
this is a simulation of real-life...
- Oh, wow. - Stars.
- Okay.
- This is exactly how the stars aligned
the night that you were born.
And we are in Seattle, Washington.
- Are you kidding me?
I have chills right now.
- It's all about the details.
- Christian, that is...so incredible.
When was the last time you really felt your heart,
like, flutter for somebody?
- [sighs]
In quarantine, but it was pretty disastrous.
I wasn't receiving affirmations.
I wasn't receiving anything
the way that I communicated I needed.
And you constantly remind me how great I am.
And in return, I naturally just want to do it to you, you know.
* *
- It's just so easy to talk to you.
I don't have to think about it.
It doesn't feel like we are anywhere but here
in this moment, you know?
- Yeah, like, when you walked in,
I was like, "Welcome to our universe."
Nobody else's.
- I like that. - I like that feeling.
* *
- Yeah.
* *
- Christian is really romantic.
This is everything I've ever wanted for myself,
somebody that lifts me up, reminds me why I deserve love.
I want to feel like a princess.
I want to feel desired and valued and beautiful.
I have no doubt in my mind that my future with him
would be just as bright as this universe in front of us.
- I'm not thinking about anything else right now.
* *
My heart and my head are still spinning.
I really don't think I've ever had that sort
of connection with anybody.
That was soul-reviving.
It sparks. It's fireworks.
It's absolutely out of this world,
and we made a huge leap.
I just hope she feels the same way about me.
* *
- Having been given a glimpse into life in the present day
with our three suitors, it's soon time
to reunite our heroine with her court
and return her to the Regency past
where it all began.
But first, a huge decision awaits.
Ms. Rémy has returned to the castle
to make her toughest choice yet,
as only two of our final three suitors
will be going back through the gates with her.
* *
- I would say that this is one
of the most difficult decisions in my life.
This is forever.
I have three amazing guys.
Christian, he literally is my best friend,
and he's my rock, and he makes me feel alive,
and I know that every day, I would laugh with him.
And Jesse, he is gorgeous inside and out.
He's committed and loyal,
and he would make the best life partner and father.
And Danny B., he, you know,
since day one has made me feel so special.
And I know that life with him would be fun and spontaneous.
So right now, I have three amazing guys to choose from,
and I know that any one of them would make
an incredible partner.
[dramatic music]
* *
- With all her modern-day dates behind her,
our heroine has a momentous decision on her hands,
and nobody understands that better
than her final three suitors.
- My date with Ms. Rémy was great
because I feel so secure and feel like this is my person.
I'm just excited to continue moving forward
and be the Prince Charming she was looking for.
* *
- I feel kind of nervous
because right now, I've laid out all my cards.
I am who I am, and I expressed that to Ms. Rémy.
So now it's deciding on what she wants in her future.
- I felt most in my element in the real world
out of this whole process.
I'm the most vulnerable I've ever been,
and it would definitely hurt to be going home.
- Gentlemen, you all had a chance
to show Ms. Rémy what it would be like
to date you in the modern world.
But this journey in romance is not over yet.
Tonight only two suitors
will be returning to the castle.
[tense music]
This is a very tough decision.
Ms. Rémy, who is the first suitor
who will be returning with you to the Regency world
and continuing their journey in romance?
* *
- This person is somebody that made me feel things
that I didn't know I could feel,
and he continues to surprise me.
The way I feel with him is the way
that everybody should feel in a relationship.
And...
the first suitor returning
to the castle with me is...
[sighs]
Danny.
* *
- Thank you. - Thank you.
* *
I'm ecstatic that Nicole picked me to stay.
Each day I hang out with her,
I, like, start falling, I guess.
You know, you spend so much time thinking about somebody
and wanting to be with that person,
and you picture yourself in normal life afterwards,
and it all kind of, like, makes sense.
* *
- Ms. Rémy, it is now between Mr. Judge and Mr. Cones.
Which one of these suitors will be taking a step closer
to winning your heart?
* *
- [sighs]
I'm gonna be honest and say
that this person,
I wasn't sure if we would get there.
And I feel like this week being in the modern world,
like, really opened up my eyes, and...
I feel butterflies with this person,
which is so incredible.
* *
Jesse.
* *
- I'm super happy, super thrilled to still be here.
I know our connection's super strong,
and she's the missing piece in my puzzle,
so I'm super anxious for her to make that final decision,
but I'm feeling confident that it'll be me.
[somber music]
* *
- Hey.
Hey, look at me.
* *
Christian, you know how much I appreciate you
and how incredible you are.
And I'm so sorry that it's not you.
* *
- I'll promise you one thing. I'll never forget you.
* *
- Thank you, Christian.
- I'm gonna miss you so much.
* *
- Thank you so much.
* *
- Fellas, you take care of her, okay?
* *
I don't know what just happened,
to be honest.
Everything's just stinging right now.
* *
I just watched one
of the world's most amazing girls
go off in a carriage that I'm not in,
and I've ripped my heart open for her.
* *
And now that it's open,
I have to figure out how I can sew it back up.
I'm really gonna miss her.
* *
- And so Ms. Rémy travels
back through the mists of time...
[dramatic music]
To the 19th century.
Accompanied by her two final suitors,
reunited with her beloved court,
she returns to the castle,
where she will make her final decision.
- Thank you, Mr. Judge.
- Oh, my gosh! - Mr. Judge.
- Oh, and Mr. Bochicchio.
- I'm looking at this beautiful castle.
I have a beautiful girl beside me.
Now it's, like, crunch time.
It's just me and one other guy and Nicole,
so hopefully I can wind up with the girl of my dreams.
- Welcome back to Regency era. - Welcome.
- Yeah. - It's a pleasure to be back.
- Right now, I'm feeling really good about the future.
Ms. Rémy said she felt those butterflies,
so I'm super excited to see what the future has for us.
- Honey, I'm home. [laughter]
* *
- Coming up on "The Courtship"...
- What?
- With their fate on a knife edge,
our final two suitors
save their most romantic dates till last.
- Oh, my God.
- But it's not just Ms. Rémy they have to impress.
- What makes you the right choice for Nicole?
- Um...
- If it would be all right, I would, like, move in
and, like, live with Nicole.
- Then with the big moment looming...
You're gonna be choosing the gentleman
that you want to spend the rest of your life with.
Mr. Judge makes a move...
- That could change everything.
- Jesse just comes out of nowhere
and kind of swoops my girl away.
[bright classical music]
* *
- With order returned to our 19th-century bubble,
Ms. Rémy looks forward to making a decision
that could shape the rest of her life...
- I have to make an incredibly difficult decision.
This is going to be the toughest one yet,
and I feel like I say that every week,
but this one is the one that counts, and it matters.
- While elsewhere, the reality is just beginning
to sink in for our two remaining suitors,
Mr. Judge and Mr. Bochicchio.
- It's crazy to think that this journey's
coming to an end.
How do you feel about, like, this whole thing ending?
Are you ready for what's to come?
- I'm super excited because, you know,
I do feel confident that me and Nicole
have built a relationship
that will be sustained after this.
[tense music]
It's hard to tell with Ms. Rémy
where her head's at with Danny.
Danny B. and Nicole had a really strong relationship
in the beginning.
Lately Nicole and I have built
an even stronger relationship.
But it's not how you start. It's how you finish.
- Obviously it could only be one of us.
Jesse thinks he's gonna come out of nowhere
on his dark horse and kind of, like, steal the show,
but I feel like Nicole and I had that initial spark,
and it's only really been her and I from the beginning.
That's why I'm like, what are we doing here?
May the best man win. - Cheers.
- I want pros and cons for them
because it's tough for me to wrap my head
around making this decision so soon.
Who do you think would be the best husband?
- I love Mr. Judge, how he's behaved,
the way he carries himself.
I think that he would make
not only a good husband but a good father.
- Danny B. is your speed.
I feel like you two are gonna hit the ground running,
and it's just gonna be, like,
this very passionate relationship right off the bat.
- You know, Danny, you would be compatible with,
but Jesse offers a lot of growth.
When you're dancing with both Jesse and Danny,
your face lights up, but then you make
their face light up as well.
- And Mr. Judge is not your speed now,
and I think he could get up to your speed.
- I think so too.
- The look that you give to each other,
you can tell there's something deep there.
And in a marriage, you all are gonna argue,
you're gonna disagree, but that's what
gets you through is knowing how deeply they care about you.
I think we would still need to have a little bit more time
with them to be sure of which one.
- My parents' opinion is important to me.
And this is somebody that's gonna be in our family.
It would break my heart if they didn't agree
with the guy that I was with.
- It's a tough decision.
- Another "Daily Tea."
The last one here.
"As this year's season comes to a close..."
- "We find ourselves with only two suitors left
fighting for Ms. Rémy's heart."
* *
"With the final ball of the season approaching
"and with her trusted court by her side,
which of our two heroes will Ms. Rémy choose?"
- "Two dates remain, presenting Ms. Rémy
with the final opportunity to assess her options."
- "Will Mr. Bochicchio be able to express his feelings?"
- "And will Mr. Judge surprise and delight
with a romantic gesture?"
- "Ms. Rémy's future awaits, but with whom?"
Wow, what a journey.
- It seems like my court is as confused
as I am about who to choose,
making that decision even that much more difficult.
I'm just glad that I have one more date
with each of them 'cause that's really gonna tell me,
you know, how I'm feeling.
- Decisions, decisions.
* *
- It's final date time, and Ms. Rémy is still waiting
to hear the all-important L word from Mr. Bochicchio.
To quote Mr. Darcy, now would be an excellent time
to allow him to tell her how ardently
he admires and loves her.
That's just an idea.
- Danny.
I have been so vulnerable and open with Danny,
and I feel like I haven't heard anything
more than "I like you" from him.
And that scares me 'cause we're down to the final two,
and it's like, somebody that's gonna say "I like you"
isn't gonna get down on one knee.
I want to know if he's really ready
for commitment out of this.
- Ready to ride? - How are you?
[soft music]
- Today's a frigging scary day.
You look beautiful. - Thank you.
- She told me she loved me, and I didn't respond back.
- [laughs]
- I know Nicole was hurt,
and this is my last chance to make it right.
- Have you ridden a horse before?
- I have.
So I have a little thing lined up for us
that she'll never forget.
- This is not easy in a dress, but I think I got it.
Okay. - Yeah.
- Yay, first try.
Oh, and we're off, okay.
- And we're off. - We're off.
* *
Are you sad to leave this place?
- I am sad. - Yeah.
- I had such, like, an amazing experience here.
- I mean, our last date, our, like, modern date,
that was insane.
- I loved that backdrop.
Like, that's, like, something that, you know,
we would be able to do back home.
- Mm-hmm, I agree.
- Like, I'm sure you have some cool spots in Seattle.
- Oh, tons, especially on the Puget Sound on the water.
- "Pee-jit" Sound. - Puget.
- There you go.
Puget Sound, and it overlooks downtown.
It's pretty. - That's sick.
- I think you'd really love it. - Think so?
- Uh-huh, we could go up on my rooftop
and enjoy, like,
charcuterie and wine.
Red wine 'cause you like red wine.
- The West Coast sounds great.
- Okay, so what if we had our urban place in Manhattan
and then a more suburban place in Seattle?
- That's fair. - And a beach house in Hawaii.
- Ooh, I love that.
Sometimes I'm not the best at saying things in the moment,
but little does she know that I have a little surprise
to come about how I feel about her
and that I think will help us both.
[sprightly classical music]
* *
Little romantic end of our date.
String quartet.
- It's lovely.
* *
[gasps] Oh, my gosh.
- In Regency times, parental approval was required
ahead of any engagement.
Without it, the father could even
withhold his fortune from his daughter.
Fittingly Mr. and Mrs. Rémy will meet
with each of the last two suitors
in order to decide who they give their blessing to.
- Mr. Judge. - Hello.
How you guys doing?
- Mr. Judge is very interesting.
- He's very deep, hardworking, very mature,
very compelling story about his life.
I need to know,
is this the right person for my daughter?
Are either of them the right person?
I mean, this is my daughter's life, her future.
Whether they're ready for that
will certainly make a difference.
- How are you guys feeling about the last two suitors?
- Well, we're feeling good.
We certainly think that both of you
are good-hearted young men.
Both of you seem to care very much about our daughter,
which is the most important thing.
We want to be sure that whoever our daughter ends up with
really just adores her.
- Right, of course.
- What do you think makes you the right choice for Nicole?
- Um...
[dramatic music]
This meeting is super important.
It's my one last chance to make my final impression
on Mr. and Mrs. Rémy.
I just want to get the point across
that I am a very good choice for Nicole.
So I'll have to be very clear with my words and my intent
and how I stand out from Mr. Bochicchio.
I feel that what I can offer her,
what Mr. Bochicchio could not is the sense of safety for her.
I know she has big aspirations for what's to come after this,
and I'm going to help her step by step.
- Nicole is having very high aspirations
and wanting to be in a powerful position,
and, you know, it takes a really strong, confident man
to be accepting and supportive of that.
- Listen, I would encourage that.
- So when you first came here, I would have expected you
to be more assertive towards Nicole,
and you were pretty laid-back.
- In myself, I think I am more of a go-with-the-flow person.
- What's your plan for trying to continue
a relationship with Nicole?
I'm assuming that that's what you'd like to do.
- Yeah.
Nicole and I talked about the future a little bit.
That's what solidified it for me.
I think I can see a clear, vivid picture
of us and starting a family.
And then there's you guys.
You guys have done an excellent job,
and I really want to take factors that you guys
have incorporated into your kids
into my own family.
And I think it would be wonderful
if that would be with Nicole.
- Wow, that is nice to hear, Mr. Judge.
- Thank you.
Your blessing really means a lot to me.
And I hope it means a lot to you
for me requesting that as well.
In my new adopted family,
they kind of taught me that family is everything.
- I'm gonna say you need to let her know
that she's the one.
Don't tell us. Tell Nicole.
- I feel like Mr. and Mrs. Rémy
have gotten a very clear image of who I am
and what I can provide for their daughter.
So now I need to show her my picture
of our future together.
- It seems we'll have to wait a little longer
to see if Mr. and Mrs. Rémy give Jesse their blessing.
Now, however, it's time to see Danny's surprise
that will finally help him express his true feelings.
I am praying it's not a rap.
- [gasps] Oh, my gosh.
What?
* *
Danny. [laughs]
This is beautiful.
- It's been difficult for me to express how I felt
throughout this whole journey,
but given that there's only two people left,
now it's time for me to put it all out there.
Fingers crossed.
So let me explain.
These are all the expressions
that I couldn't verbalize to you.
So each one of these is something
that I want you to know,
share with you.
- I'm already starting to cry.
- "When we touch, my heart skips a beat."
* *
- "My mom is gonna love you."
- She will.
- This is, like...
* *
"Your laugh lights up my heart."
- I love your laugh. I can't.
* *
So this one is blank.
The reason why it's blank is,
I didn't want to write down how I felt.
I wanted to tell you how I felt.
* *
I'm so happy I'm here with you, and--
* *
And that's that I love you.
* *
- Serious?
* *
I knew in my heart that there was something more,
and he just said that he loves me.
[sighs]
You have no idea; like, this whole time,
I was thinking, "This guy's gonna break my heart.
Like, I'm gonna like him way more than he likes me."
But I'm so glad that I know how you feel now.
- I'm nervous.
- Nervous about what?
- I don't know; there's still one other person left.
You have to make a big decision later.
[tense music]
- Danny finally said, "I love you,"
which is what I came here for.
Like, I was looking for love.
And now I just want to know, like, are we at the point
where we can have an engagement?
You know, like, is Danny ready? And then is Jesse ready?
Like, I still have one more date to figure this out.
And I'm giddy right now, but I'm also like,
how am I gonna decide?
Like, no matter what I do,
I'm gonna break somebody's heart.
And that really stresses me out.
* *
- Coming up,
with Mr. Bochicchio in the hot seat...
- What are your feelings about commitment?
What's the plan if this doesn't work out?
- Ta-da! - Wow!
- Things between Mr. Judge and Ms. Rémy get even hotter.
[dramatic music]
- With only one day left until the Diamond Ball
and with Mr. Bochicchio having truly excelled himself
with his heartfelt letter tree,
Mr. Judge needs to produce something spectacular
on this all-important final date.
- This is stunning. [cow moos]
- There are all the cows. - Oh, my God!
- This day is super important.
It's my last chance to make my final impression.
Today I have a bunch of romantic gestures
to show Nicole,
but my main goal is to take Mr. Rémy's advice
and show Nicole what our future
really could look like.
Hopefully that's enough to convince Nicole
to choose me.
So I brought you to check these out
and whip out kind of another last-minute trick for you.
- Okay. - I'm gonna need your help.
- Okay.
What is that? - Right?
- What in the chicken foot? Oh, no.
What are we doing? [bird screeching]
* *
Oh, my God! - This is Roland.
He's beautiful, isn't he?
- Roland, hi, baby.
- I got another secret and another plan for us.
- Okay. - Okay.
There's this little pouch. - Okay.
Can we open it? - Yeah.
- Roland, what'd you bring?
- A little surprise I have for us.
- Oh, my gosh. Hi, sweetie.
- See you, Roland. - Bye, Roland.
- So... - Aww.
- In here, I'm thought I'd show you something
that you haven't seen before.
- Okay.
- This key leads to a secret room in the castle
that I thought I would show you.
- I love that. - Is that good?
- That sounds great. Aww, that was really cool.
* *
- I think you'll enjoy this.
- Where are we going? - This is the secret door.
- Oh, my gosh. - Have you ever seen it?
- No, and I live here.
- Open it up. - Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Where are we going?
* *
Wow. [gasps]
- Pretty amazing. - It's beautiful up here.
Oh, my gosh.
- Right down there, that's where it all started.
I walked through those doors
and immediately caught eyes with you.
Just so many moments we shared together so far.
I want to continue to do that.
- I want to continue, too, with you.
* *
- With Mr. Judge potentially gaining the upper hand
in the battle for Ms. Rémy's heart,
it is now Mr. Bochicchio's turn to seek the blessing
of the occasionally wary Mr. and Mrs. Rémy.
* *
[tense music]
- Yeah, so I want to just talk to you about, you know,
life after this, obviously get your blessing.
* *
- Tell me, what does it look like after here?
* *
- I'm ready to, like, have a real relationship.
You know, and if it would be all right with you guys,
I would love to, like, obviously, like, move in
and, like, live with Nicole.
- We didn't move in together until a month or so
before we were getting married,
but things are different now,
but if you do that,
she's gonna make a strong commitment with you,
and she's gonna want it to last.
I remember very clearly when we were at the fair,
we asked you questions about commitment,
and I could tell you were nervous.
- So you came out here to look for connection with someone,
or you out here to look for love?
- Um...
- But a lot has happened since then,
and so I'd like to hear from you,
what are your feelings about commitment?
- Can't make any guarantees.
All I can do is promise you that I will do my best
to make her happy,
and I think that we can make this work.
- What's the plan if this doesn't work out?
* *
- The plan would just be to always be honest.
You know, sometimes things don't always work out,
but yeah, that's one thing that I can promise you
is that I will be honest and truthful to her, so...
- Well, I feel confident about that.
That's one of the things I've thought about you all along
was that you were very honest.
At times, it was honesty
that maybe I wasn't wanting to hear,
but I feel good about the fact
that you are willing to be honest.
That's so important
because there are no perfect relationships
that are ready-made out of the box.
- When Clair and I first got married,
I had to be the one making the compromises.
I actually decided to move my career
and had to start anew,
and I never minded that
because I knew what I wanted to accomplish,
but more importantly, I wanted her
to be the mother of my children.
- That's beautiful.
I'm willing to compromise, and I'm willing to work.
I was a little skeptical in the beginning about,
you know, finding love and developing feelings.
I'm like, is it possible?
But I realized that it is possible.
This is just such a story to tell,
and I feel like it's worth giving your all.
[dramatic music]
- Wow, quite revealing.
- And what you will need to do is
just to always make sure she knows
how much you care about her.
- And also she would like to carry some
of this Regency period with her.
- Oh, what's--
- The chivalry. - Okay.
- The etiquette. - I can appreciate that.
And I could keep it Regency with her.
- All right.
- Mr. Bochicchio may be out of the woods
with Mr. and Mrs. Rémy,
but Ms. Rémy and Mr. Judge are just entering them.
- Oh, my gosh. - Well...
- Hopefully he hasn't attached keys
to any more woodland creatures.
- If you love hikes, you love trails, hopefully,
having fires as well.
- I love fire--oh, my gosh.
- I think this is gonna be a perfect date...
- This is so beautiful. - For us.
- I like to be around nature,
and I like to hunt, and I like to fish,
and it's really important
for her to like those things too.
And I'm trying to really be the masculine man
and really make myself stand out.
Ta-da! - You got it!
Mr. Judge, he is that guy that fits into my life.
Wow!
[soft music]
He's beautiful,
and there's so many layers to him.
That's something that you can't quantify,
and that's what I'm looking for.
- God, that's hot.
- Ooh, nice.
- Good. - Oh, that looks so good.
- Yeah, you like it? - It's perfect.
- Beautiful.
I'm actually super happy that your family was here
during this whole process.
I really have fallen for her.
I kind of want the typical American dream.
I'll take this from you.
I just got to pray she's reciprocating
those feelings for myself and really wants that future
just as much as I do.
I think this would be an awesome opportunity
to talk about potentially our family in the future.
- Yeah.
- If you had to paint a perfect picture
of the future... - Okay.
- How many kids would you think you'd have?
- Sometimes it scares people off,
but, like, three to five.
I just--I love-- I want to have a big family.
- Okay. Yeah. - Is that scary?
- I mean, I've always thought three, to be honest.
- Okay.
- I'd want two boys and one girl.
I just think it'd be nice to have,
like, daddy's little girl.
- I definitely see you being really soft...
- I know. - With a daughter.
You know, being like, okay, she can get away
with more than the boys can.
- That's exactly what I'd do.
I would spoil the hell out of her too.
- I love that.
- Taking time off from work,
I think ideally would be a priority
in being able to really understand them
and their emotions and how they feel.
And I think trying to be the best husband and father,
I think they both kind of coincide.
In order to be a good father,
I have to treat their mother well.
And in order to be a good husband,
I got to treat my kids well.
So I truly want my next relationship
to be the last relationship,
and I want it to lead to marriage,
want it to lead to children.
- I love the sound of that.
Who do you think it's gonna be to take me home?
- Honestly, Nicole, I don't know if I'm going home.
Seattle sounds real nice.
- Oh, my gosh.
* *
You know, I came into this having
really strong feelings for Danny B.,
and now I'm coming out of this feeling like
I have incredibly strong feelings for Jesse.
So not only is he sweet and charming and sexy,
but he's husband material.
He wants to move to Seattle.
Like, he wants to share that life with me,
and he's painted that picture, and it's beautiful
and feels so right, and it feels like something
I want to last forever.
* *
Jesse.
* *
[dramatic music]
I don't know what I'm gonna do tonight.
Danny is passionate, he's romantic,
but he hasn't been able to offer me that life
that I'm looking for outside of here.
* *
But then with Jesse, he's ready to move in.
Like, he's ready to move to Seattle.
But I'm worried that it might be too safe
and I might not feel that same passion.
I really hope that my court can steer me
in the right direction
because I have no idea how I'm gonna choose
between these two guys.
* *
- Coming up, it's all been building to this...
Tonight you're gonna be choosing
the gentleman that you want to spend
the rest of your life with.
- In the end, there can only be one.
- I'm just not trying to cry right now.
- As Ms. Rémy makes her final decision.
[dramatic music]
* *
- It's the final day of our journey
in the Regency universe.
Ms. Rémy has been courted along the way by 19 suitors,
and at tonight's Diamond Ball,
she will choose one gentleman
to potentially spend the rest of her life with.
Fittingly I've worn my finest suit
for the occasion, though no one's noticed
because apparently today's all about Ms. Rémy.
* *
- I can't believe that we're here.
This is the last chapter in the journey.
And to just think how far I've come,
it's insane to me.
This whole experience has been an emotional roller coaster,
and to know that I'm making the most important decision
of my life,
my emotions are all over the place,
and I have two incredible guys.
I pray that I make the right decision.
- You are absolutely stunning.
Like, you took my breath away coming down the stairs.
I love you so much. - You're amazing.
- Aww, cheers. - You are amazing.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
- You ready?
- Yeah, I'm ready.
- I think there are two amazing gentlemen
who are waiting for you.
- I can't wait to see them. - I know.
- Well, it has been a very emotional journey.
And it's not quite over yet
because don't forget, Mr. and Mrs. Rémy,
at some point, you still need to announce
which suitor you will give your blessing to.
- Oh, my gosh. - Court,
if you want to make your way in and enjoy the ball,
I just have a few final questions for Ms. Rémy.
- You've got this. - Thank you.
- These are huge decisions, and we have
to remind ourselves, this is not just for fun.
This is real life for her.
- In the end,
we want her to find her true love.
- Tonight, Ms. Rémy, your journey in romance
comes to a climax,
and we're gonna throw, in your honor,
the highlight of the season, a Diamond Ball.
How are you feeling?
- [laughs]
I've never been so shocked, scared, nervous, excited,
and ready for love in my life.
I think I've found two people
that made me feel really special.
Whoo, I'm already getting emotional.
I'm gonna be a wreck tonight, Rick.
- I feel emotional. - Do you--
- I've got butterflies for you. - I was gonna say--
Oh, I feel like you're getting
a little teary-eyed, or is that the wind?
- Yeah, I think-- no, that's the champagne.
- That's the champagne.
- Tonight you're gonna be choosing the gentleman
that you want to spend the rest of your life with.
Are you ready for the ball?
- Never been more ready.
- Well, I'll see you in there.
- Thank you, Mr. Edwards.
* *
It's scary.
I'm gonna have to break someone's heart tonight.
But I also have to remind myself, like,
I might be engaged to my prince tonight.
Is this even real?
* *
- Inside, the Diamond Ball is in full swing
as Ms. Rémy's court and I await our heroine
and her suitors for one final dance.
* *
Still no comments on my outfit.
- This is so weird.
Like, I can't believe this is all coming to a head.
- We don't know who she's gonna choose.
We don't know if there's gonna be an engagement.
We don't know what's gonna happen.
There's just this, like, fear of the unknown.
I think we're also really stressed
'cause we want her to be happy so badly
that you know, whew, it's gonna be crazy.
- Enter Mr. Judge and Mr. Bochicchio.
Both of these gentlemen have restored
Ms. Rémy's faith in love,
but who holds the key to her heart?
- Whoo!
* *
- They look very handsome tonight.
- Going into this ball, I'm super nervous
because I have built
a really good relationship with Ms. Rémy,
and I know Mr. Bochicchio has also done so.
I don't know exactly where her mindset is at
at this point in time.
* *
- A little nervous. - Yeah.
- They do look nervous. - They look nervous.
I would be nervous too.
- I literally have done the most I could ever do,
laid all my cards out there,
expressed my feelings.
I really hope that it's gonna be me and Nicole at the end.
We'll find out soon enough.
- You guys look absolutely beautiful.
- Thank you.
- How are you? - Nervous.
- Yeah?
- Sweating through this right now.
- Do we look nervous? - Yeah.
* *
- That jacket that he has on...
- Yeah, it's sick. - Isn't that so amazing?
- Finally someone noticed.
If I could have everyone's attention, please.
Welcome, one and all, to the Diamond Ball.
Our journey in romance has all been building to this.
* *
Ms. Rémy set out into the Regency universe
in search of love.
And now just two suitors remain.
* *
Ladies and gentlemen,
she is the object of universal admiration,
a heroine fit for the greatest love stories,
Ms. Nicole Rémy.
* *
[knock at door]
* *
[applause]
- No words, obviously.
She just manages to, like,
pull off every look flawlessly.
Just a lot of emotions right now.
* *
- She's beautiful.
I'm really starting to see the big picture at the end,
and I think she is too.
So I just hope she decides
to take me home and call me hers.
* *
- Tonight the suitors will have their last dance
with Ms. Rémy,
after which she will make her choice.
But first, her court will have one final opportunity
to help guide her.
* *
- What does your gut tell you now?
- My heart's, like, torn.
What do you guys think?
- We met with both of these gentlemen.
We asked them a lot of questions.
We really sought out their feelings for you.
* *
And your dad and I want to tell you...
- Right now, I'm nervous.
I'm shaking. I'm anxious.
I need to know that they approve
of the guy that I want to be with tonight.
And I'm still undecided, and I have no idea
how my parents' choice is gonna impact my decision.
I can even, like, feel my heart literally in my throat.
This is scary.
- Nicole, Mommy and I gave our blessings to...
[dramatic music]
- Mr. and Mrs. Rémy are about to announce who,
between Mr. Bochicchio and Mr. Judge,
they will give their blessing to.
- Unlike Regency times,
I'm able to make my own decision tonight.
My parents aren't making that decision for me,
but their opinion does matter.
I still want their counsel.
I need their help more than ever right now.
* *
- Nicole, Mommy and I gave our blessings...
* *
To both gentlemen
because we believe either one
will make a fine young man for you.
- Our baby.
* *
You made the right decision, and we trust you.
And I think that either one of them
will love you, protect you, help you to grow,
and be there for you when you need them, so...
- And you have to listen to your heart
in making that decision.
- Follow your heart. Follow your heart.
I did.
- I'm just not trying to cry right now.
Anyway, thank you both.
- And we support you.
- With Ms. Rémy's court having helped guide her
along every step of the way,
it's now down to our heroine alone and the final dance.
- Mr. Judge, may I have this dance?
- Of course.
- This will be the suitors' last opportunity
to convince Ms. Rémy that they are her eternal match.
* *
- I feel like from the moment I saw you,
I knew there was something special about you.
* *
When you think about the perfect guy,
you think of Jesse.
- One of my biggest goals is to become the best father
I can be, the best husband I can be,
the best caretaker I can be.
- He's tall. He's gorgeous.
You know he's gonna be an amazing father
and an amazing husband.
I feel like we've just picked up a momentum
that I never want to stop.
But he's blossomed
into the perfect Regency gentleman, truly,
and I'm excited to see what else he surprises me with
as we grow old together.
I just--I light up when I see you smile like that.
Life with you could be really fantastic.
* *
- How you doing?
- Nervous.
- You are?
The journey I've had with Danny has been
an absolute roller coaster,
but it's a ride that I've never wanted to get off of.
- When I was dancing with you, nobody else was in the room.
* *
- How do you feel?
- I'm just in the moment with you.
* *
- He's been there since the beginning.
And yesterday he's finally put his feelings into words.
- I'm so happy I'm here with you.
That I love you.
- Our future isn't crystal clear,
but I think it's a mystery that we can solve together.
* *
I have so much fun with you,
and you're so funny and, like, flirty.
And I just, like--I want this from you all the time.
- Yeah.
* *
- I didn't think it would be possible
to fall for two guys here,
and at this point,
I've just--I've got to follow my heart.
* *
You know, it's just the rest of my life kind of thing.
* *
- My God, Danny B.'s got it down.
When I look at them together,
it's like the whole world disappears,
and I can see it disappearing for them.
[suspenseful music]
- Seeing Ms. Rémy with Danny B.,
their connection and their relationship,
makes me a little uneasy.
- I promise in the future,
I'll be able to express myself better.
* *
- Thank you, Mr. Bochicchio.
- Sure.
- I really want a life together with Nicole,
and I don't want Nicole thinking,
"That's the one that got away."
Can I talk to you?
I haven't had a long journey as maybe Daniel,
and kind of swoops my girl away.
- I don't know.
* *
Oh, my.
- I don't know what's going on.
Is he gonna propose to her?
It's, like, hard to take in.
- It's almost time for Ms. Rémy
to make her final decision.
- I can discuss this a little bit better alone.
- But a last-minute spur-of-the-moment move
by Mr. Judge has thrown everyone for a loop,
including Mrs. Baker...
- Are you ready to step in here?
- Who takes the opportunity
to help prime her favorite suitor.
- May have this dance?
You know, Mr. Bochicchio, he's, like, the kindest,
most caring, charismatic guy, and he's Nicole's speed,
and he's a modern-day Darcy for sure.
And that's what Nicole deserves.
The issue with him has been more about, like,
was he able to get to the point
of an engagement or a proposal or whatever?
Okay, listen.
What's the end goal here?
Are we proposing?
What's next?
- If I'm walking out of here with your sister,
I'm very serious
about a future proposal.
* *
- I realize that it's been a short period of time,
but sometimes when you know, you know.
- As Mr. Bochicchio ponders his options,
it may already be too late for him
as Mr. Judge and Ms. Rémy reach a proposal-perfect spot
on the castle steps.
[soft music]
- I just want to take a little bit of time
to kind of get away from all that, and...
- Yeah, that sounds nice.
* *
- This is exactly kind of the setting
that I need right now.
* *
I know tonight's the final night,
and you're gonna have to make a very hard decision.
I think we have a very, very good relationship.
We've progressed so much,
and we connect on an emotional level
and on physical level too.
- I would say so.
- I think you felt that attraction
right when we met eyes.
- I did.
Jesse, I felt it from the moment
you walked into that room.
- Even though it was a roller coaster of emotions,
it still kept on.
And these last dates have been exhilarating,
and I've been sharing new moments with you,
and that's exactly what I came over here for
is to meet somebody that I can share new moments with
and really experience life with
and someone I can call my best friend.
And we've been doing that. - We've gotten there.
- And I think each and every date that we have,
I fall in love with you,
and it's exhilarating.
- [sighs]
- It's exhilarating. It really is.
I want you so bad,
and I think that you are the missing piece in my life.
I don't think you feel butterflies with everybody,
and I'm the last person that's leaving you
with butterflies.
* *
So that has to say something about our future.
* *
- I am starting to feel those butterflies
more and more with you, Jesse.
* *
I feel like...
* *
I know how incredible you are
and the passion that we've shared together
and the progress that we've made in our relationship,
and I know how incredible of a father you'll be
and how incredible of a husband you'll be,
but I just--I feel like
I feel butterflies with somebody else more.
I'm so sorry.
Jesse, you've given me so much of yourself,
and I'm so grateful for you.
- You know...
I'm not mad.
* *
I think I'm a little heartbroken.
* *
- You're so beautiful inside and out, Jesse.
- Yeah, I--
It's--I don't--it's-- I'm speechless.
The last couple weeks,
I've just been painting this clear picture of us.
It's just hard to picture
that you won't be there.
- [sighs] God.
- And now I feel-- I just feel so lost.
* *
- Sorry.
* *
- I really felt like we had it all.
The hardest part was painting that picture
of a perfect family and really thinking
that it was gonna manifest in the future.
* *
I don't know where my journey's gonna lead.
I don't.
I think I'm a good man.
I think I deserve love.
* *
I'll find it. I'll find it.
I know I'll find it.
I just can't give up.
* *
- Tonight was the night I wanted somebody
to get down on one knee and promise me life forever,
and Jesse wanted to make that commitment to me,
but I knew in my heart that I couldn't
make that commitment to him.
* *
Now I'm definitely nervous because Danny B. is a risk.
I mean, he's been the guy from the start
that hasn't been able to communicate,
and just recently he's told me that he's in love with me.
I want Danny B. to propose tonight,
but I don't know if he's ready to commit.
* *
Oh, shit, this is so real.
[dramatic music]
[horse whinnies]
- With Mr. Judge's departure from the castle,
Ms. Rémy has pinned her dreams on Mr. Bochicchio.
- As the court holds their breath,
Ms. Rémy and Mr. Bochicchio head outside.
Is the past about to unlock the door
to their futures?
* *
- I'm nervous because I made the decision
not to be with Jesse in hopes
of Danny B. making a commitment tonight.
That's my biggest fear is giving myself to somebody
that can't give it back,
but he makes my heart skip,
and I would rather take that risk with Danny B.
than to never allow myself to do it.
I remember our first date,
night one, we walked along this way
and then sat over there and watched the fireworks.
[soft music]
And I'm thinking of how magical that was,
and that magic hasn't ever faded,
I feel like, between us.
* *
At least I feel that way.
It's because I love you,
and I have loved you for so long.
* *
And that hasn't stopped, so...
- And I feel the same way about you.
* *
You know, we came so far.
I think this whole journey is absolutely crazy.
Seriously. - No, it is.
- Guy from Staten Island, not that interesting,
meets this beautiful girl, didn't know what to say,
and now I'm, like, expressing all these feelings toward you.
- Yeah.
- And somehow manages to win her heart.
* *
We make an epic love story.
* *
I think that this is only the beginning.
And I just think that it will keep on
getting better and better,
and I look forward to the future with you,
and I love you.
* *
- God, are you kidding me?
Oh, my God.
- Nicole Rémy...
* *
Will you marry me?
- Oh, my God!
* *
Danny, a hundred times over.
* *
- [laughs] - Oh, my God.
Are you kidding me?
Oh, Danny.
* *
This is beautiful.
- I'm absolutely crazy, but I love you,
so I'm all in.
- I'm so all in, Danny.
* *
Danny, oh, my God.
I just feel so, so happy.
* *
- Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask,
am I the last suitor here?
- Oh. [laughs]
Danny, you're the last suitor,
and I just want to start forever with you right now.
* *
Oh, Jesus,
that's a really beautiful ring.
- We're engaged.
* *
- Nicole Bochicchio.
- I know this was very unexpected,
but there was a point in time where it clicked,
and it's for the better to leave you my heart
because I know that I found love,
found the future wife.
I couldn't be happier.
- Oh, my gosh, Danielle's gonna flip out.
Do my parents know? - No.
I know.
- Let's go tell them. - Yeah, let's go.
* *
- Well, who do you think she's gonna walk in with?
- Let's see.
- My heart is, like, racing out of my chest.
- Ladies and gentlemen,
it is my great honor to present to you
this season's most perfect couple.
* *
[knock at door]
[dramatic music]
- Yes!
- Oh, my gosh.
* *
[both screaming] - Oh, my God!
* *
Oh, my--oh, my God!
- Stop. Stop.
Stop.
Let me look. Let me look.
* *
- You're gonna be my brother-in-law!
* *
- Congratulations. - Thank you very much.
I got lucky. - Both of you.
- Yes.
- You hold your cards to the vest pretty darn well.
Oh, my gosh.
- This is wild.
- I know that he didn't ask you.
- The Fourth of July parade...
- No, it's okay. - It's okay.
- It's okay? - We would have said yes.
- Aww. - This is awesome.
I'm so happy for you.
And we absolutely adore him, so...
- Yeah? - Yes.
- I feel like it's not even hitting me yet.
- I'm shaking.
- My sister's engaged to you. - Are you kidding?
* *
- Ladies and gentlemen, please show your appreciation
for the future Mr. and Mrs. Bochicchio.
* *
- Every little step of this journey has been so memorable.
- From the knickers to the cravats...
- And the fountain kisses to the walks in the garden...
- We made it in this Regency world,
and I have no doubt in my mind that we'll make it
in the modern world.
* *
- So what's next after this?
- Maybe London for a few days.
- I like that.
- And you have to come visit me in Seattle
and see what my place is like,
see where your future part-time home is.
- Yeah.
- And then we'll have to go house hunting
in Manhattan, yeah?
- House hunting in Manhattan and Seattle.
That's the move.
* *
- Wow. - Wow.
* *
