Fresh off a very romantic date with Nick Viall in Dublin, "Bachelorette" Kaitlyn was worried that the other men would discover that she slept with Nick in her hotel suite. When Shawn B. visited her at the end of last week's episode, she thought she might have to address the Nick situation with him. Cliffhanger!
But, no, Shawn just wanted to talk about where he stands with her. He asked her if she loves him; she replied, "I'm falling in love with you."
Later in the most recent episode Kaitlyn turned her attention to a two-on-one date with JJ and Joe. The trio took a boat ride to an island off the coast. During alone time with Kaitlyn, JJ confessed that three years ago he cheated on his then-wife, which he said "destroyed" his life. It actually came off as quite sincere, and even a gutsy thing to do.
Kaitlyn said she appreciated JJ's honesty, but she ultimately decided to cut him loose. So much for soul-bearing.
Throughout the "group date" they took in some stunning Irish scenery. Joe finally opened up to Kaitlyn. "I've never felt this way about someone else this fast, this quick, this passionate, never," he began. "I can't get enough of you, Kaitlyn, because I'm falling in love with you." Kaitlyn couldn't help but smile as yet another suitor professed their undying love.
After kicking JJ to the curb, Kaitlyn broke the news to Joe that he wasn't getting a rose either — yet, anyway. They continued their date with some more cuddling and making out on a couch, before she ultimately gifted him with one. He must be a good kisser. Just saying.
Prior to a rose ceremony at an Irish castle, Kaitlyn vaguely alluded to mistakes she'd made, confusing the men. She asked Nick to not discuss their private moment with the others, and then had yet another chat with Shawn in which she said they should "take a step back."
At the rose ceremony, Kaitlyn eliminated two bachelors: Tanner and Ben Z.
Afterward, Kaitlyn and Jared traveled to the famous Blarney Castle and kissed the Blarney Stone, while the other five men took a bus ride to Killarney.Then things got even more interesting. Chris Harrison dropped by Kaitlyn's room with some big news regarding hometown dates.
"This week you're going to narrow it down to three guys and you're going to go straight into the intimate overnight dates," he told her. "Bringing people's families into it is a big deal. You have already had off-camera time with some of these men and I think it's important to get some of these other relationships up to speed and I think you should be ready to meet those families and I don't want there to be doubt because you're getting close to a big decision. Be honest with me, do you think you're ready to go meet four families?"
After Harrison broke the news, Kaitlyn seemed more determined to get serious about which guys she could see a future with, and which guys she couldn't. With the stakes raised, Kaitlyn had a one-on-one date with Chris “Cupcake."
Kaitlyn broke down in tears, telling Chris, "I just don’t know if I see us being together forever and I don't want to lead anyone on." She walked away from him and they both sobbed, ending the episode on a sad note.
