Let's refresh: What happened on the last episode of 'The Bachelorette'?
Last week's episode of “The Bachelorette” ended with an unexpected twist, instead of the usual rose ceremony, which means this week's episode will likely begin with one.
Both one-on-one dates went to the two men who have been the center of the drama in the house: Sam M. and Devin.
Sam’s date was the first one of week four. He and Jenn went to Sky Jump, a tall building in Auckland that provides a bungee jump-style experience, where you’re attached to a harness and free-fall to land safely on the ground below the building.
Jenn, who wasn’t as nervous to skydive during her one-on-one date with Marcus, was terrified. She explained that she didn’t feel heard or supported by Sam, who was just focused on convincing her to take the jump.
“You can’t convince me to jump,” Jenn said.
“I’ll give you a little push,” Sam laughed.
“I hate heights. I’m scared. I think he needs to be doing a better job of reading my emotions right now,” Jenn told the camera in an interview.
Jenn eventually and reluctantly took the jump with Sam and was happy she did. They toasted with a glass of champagne, to facing fears and “never having to jump off of a building again,” and finished their day with the classic “Bachelor” style dinner date.
Going into her date with Sam, Jenn mentioned that she’s looking for an emotional connection with him, since their relationship has been mainly about physical chemistry up to this point.
Sam opened up to Jenn that he’s been engaged previously.
“She was somebody who I thought I was going to spend forever with,” Sam said. “And the second we got engaged, it just instantly started to deteriorate … She told me that there was another guy. And that moment that I started to really feel and know that I wasn’t being chosen was such a gut-punch.”
Jenn must have been satisfied with the conversation, because Sam got the date rose.
“I think this conversation with Sam is making me understand that the fears that I had about him aren’t real,” Jenn told the camera.
This week’s group date was a rugby game, in which the men who didn’t get one-on-one dates played a game. While the rest of the men played rugby, Devin and Sam sat at home alone, which was awkward, to say the least.
After the group date, Sam N. opened up to Jenn at the cocktail party and asked her if they could share their first kiss. Jenn politely declined and sent him home.
That must have been confusing to Sam, because just a few minutes earlier, Jenn was saying how much she “loved” the rugby Jersey he made her that said “Sam’s wife” on the back.
The episode ended with Jenn’s one-on-one date with Devin, which was a traditional Maori (New Zealand’s native people) ceremony experience.
On this date, Jenn opened up about being from a Buddhist family and wanting to carry on some Buddhist values into her marriage and future family.
On their dinner date, Jenn and Devin connected over having working, single mothers throughout their childhood.
“For Devin to share with me everything that happened when he was growing up and all the struggles that he has really touched my heart,” Jenn told the camera. “I resonate with that so much, and I feel that Devin and I have a very unique connection that not a lot of people could understand.”
The episode didn’t end with a traditional rose ceremony, but with a huge twist. One of Jenn’s ex-boyfriends, Matthew, surprised her in New Zealand.
Jesse Palmer told the camera that he paid his own way to New Zealand to try to be included in Jenn’s journey.
“I couldn’t just let her go. I’m here to tell Jenn that I still love (her) and that I’m here to show (her) that,” Matthew told Jesse. “Whatever I have to do to win that trust back, I’m here to see if there could be a future with us.”
This week, we're jumping right back into the drama and will likely start the episode with the men's reactions to Matthew's arrival and a rose ceremony.
