Each of them are nonetheless within the mansion, a lot to the remainder of the contestants’ dismay, and Brayden swears that he’s targeted on deepening his reference to Charity.

Earlier than the dates kick off, Charity visits the mansion to apologize to the remaining males for ending the barbecue early and leaping proper into the rose ceremony, since she herself is aware of the anxiousness that may trigger. She’s determined that she “can’t do this anymore.” That’s, hold spending time in Los Angeles! Appears to be like like they’re headed a bit additional south to Oceanside, California.

Whereas the remainder of the lads pack and prepare to schlep their technique to their new location on a bus, Charity selects Brayden for the primary one-on-one of the week (cue the disgruntled sounds from the others). The 2 of them will likely be taking a helicopter to the following vacation spot as a substitute.

Brayden may not be making many buddies in the home, however he appears to essentially have Charity’s consideration. She desires to see if he’s able to decide to somebody after he expressed he thought of leaving manufacturing due to her four-minute kiss with Joey. The date kicks off on a excessive observe although, because the pair sip champagne within the air earlier than touchdown in the course of Petco Park.

After tossing a baseball round a bit, they imbibe in additional champagne in the course of the sector. This provides them an opportunity to open up extra, and Brayden shares that he’s fighting the thought of sharing her with the opposite males. He says he isn’t certain he can proceed or if the present will grow to be “too much” for him, which is (rightfully) a little bit of a pink flag for Charity. She desires extra affirmation from him that he can battle for them, in any other case she’s able to ship him dwelling.

In the meantime, the lads take a look at their new beachside digs and wrestle over their rooms. Then, in fact, they’re again to launching their anti-Brayden marketing campaign, which, traditionally, is not going to damage Brayden and can solely damage themselves…however earlier than they’ll dwell on that for too lengthy, they obtain a gaggle date card!

Joey, Aaron B., Michael, James, Aaron S., Caleb B. (the one Caleb left now!), Sean, Xavier, Tanner, Adrian Dotun, and John are chosen for the group date. Which means Warwick can have the distinction of the week’s second one-on-one.

It’s time for the second half of Charity’s date with Brayden, and she or he’s nonetheless feeling very hesitant after they meet again up at Petco Park. Throughout a moonlit dinner, Charity expresses that she’s nervous about his risk to go away, and Brayden doubles down on being “scared” that she’s seeing different males. He says it’s as a result of he’s been cheated on prior to now, so he’s “walking back into that trauma.” He reiterates that he doesn’t know if he can endure this. In a confessional he says he doesn’t wish to give her the expectation that he can stick round, which is…worrisome, to say the least. However, it looks like saying he’ll attempt is nice sufficient for Charity. She affords him the rose.

Time for the group date! It’s synergy central this week, because the present is selling Greta Gerwig’s Barbie with a date themed to the long-lasting doll. Former Bachelorette JoJo Fletcher and her husband Jordan Rodgers are readily available to assist facilitate the date. To point out their devotion to Charity, the lads might want to write a love track to the tune of Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Want To Have Fun.” They usually need to carry out their track dressed as a Ken doll, in fact.

Similar to final week, the person who impresses Charity probably the most will get to spend one-on-one time along with her after the group date. Most of them look fairly goofy as they take the stage in entrance of a beachside crowd to carry out, however they take it in stride and play alongside. Caleb B. breaks out some bold notes as Cowboy Ken, virtually turning the track right into a ballad. But it surely was Double Denim Ken (aka Sean) who caught Charity’s consideration together with his means to pump up the group and his confidence to tug her in for a kiss on the finish of his efficiency.

Whereas the remainder of the lads go put together for the cocktail occasion, Sean and Charity take a solo stroll down the seaside to soak in some alone time collectively. The opposite males are noticeably distraught, since a lot of them have had little one-on-one time with Charity. That is normally the time the place it begins attending to their heads, and this season proves to be no totally different. The lads will not be taking part in round anymore.

When Sean enters the cocktail occasion on his excessive horse, the lads are fast to attempt to knock him down, particularly after he steals Charity away to “finish their conversation” the second she enters the room. And by dialog, he means their steamy make-out session. Now the remainder of the group is admittedly mad, however some are taking it higher than others. John makes use of this as a chance to steal a while of his personal with Charity whereas the others are nonetheless fuming.

Dotun will get the distinction of visiting Charity’s room, as a result of she wished to discover a extra intimate setting for the 2 of them to speak. The pair share a extremely particular second the place they acknowledge their connection and categorical their pleasure to maintain attending to know one another. Dotun calls her a “kindred spirit.” After their dialog, Charity affords Dotun the group date rose.

In some way, the lads are nonetheless mad at Sean for stealing an excessive amount of time, blaming him for them not getting the group date rose.

However there’s not a lot time to dwell on that, as a result of Warwick is occurring his one-on-one! He’s positively a quiet one, so even the lads say they don’t know a lot about him — which means that we as viewers know just about nothing at this level. Seemingly, that’s why Charity selected him to get to know this early on.

Charity takes him to Belmont Park, the place they’ll get to frolic round all night time by themselves. For some time, they’re having enjoyable, however Charity shortly will get pissed off together with his unwillingness to open up along with her. As they awkwardly sit and eat ice cream collectively, it begins to grow to be clear that there could not be a connection there. Surprisingly, Warwick does suppose it’s going nicely! So, perhaps there’s just a few miscommunication. There’s nonetheless time for deeper discuss throughout dinner.

Charity dives proper in, asking him to share extra about his life and his earlier relationships. However all he tells her is that he was in two earlier relationships that didn’t work out “for whatever reason” and he couldn’t give any examples of how he exhibits up for his companion in a relationship. Charity says she prides herself on being a very good communicator, which appears to be her means of getting him to open up. Shock! He says his weak point is communication.

The writing was on the wall from the start of the date, and Charity tells Warwick she will be able to’t give him the rose. He almost falls asleep within the automotive on the way in which to the airport, so it looks like he wasn’t that impressed by the date both.

Forward of the rose ceremony, Brayden reveals that he isn’t certain if he’d be able to get engaged on the finish of this. Gas to the anti-Brayden hearth. It’s solely a matter of time earlier than that blows up.

Nicely, it doesn’t take very lengthy. After just a few nice conversations with the opposite males, Aaron B. pulls Charity apart to inform her about Brayden’s feedback. Charity is visibly pissed off, and at this level she doesn’t know what to suppose. To his credit score, Aaron tells Brayden that they spoke about him earlier than Charity has the chance to blindside him. Brayden tries to play it cool, however he clearly isn’t glad that one other man is speaking to Charity about him. As soon as once more, the lads are extra pissed off with Aaron for mentioning the drama than with Brayden for what he stated — shocker.

Charity is fairly upset with Brayden although, and she or he says she’s ready to take the rose again from him. He contends that he’s solely hesitant as a result of they haven’t gotten to know one another but, however Charity says she’s extra involved about what he’s saying to the opposite males. Charity leaves their dialog very uneasy, and she or he’s undecided if she ought to take a danger on Brayden.

Like clockwork, Jesse Palmer ends the cocktail occasion earlier than anybody else can discuss to Charity. Time for the rose ceremony. At this level, all the lads suppose Brayden ought to go away, however it’s as much as Charity to determine the place her coronary heart is at.

In the end, she doesn’t take the rose again from Brayden. Appears to be like like he’s sticking round for an additional week.

Charity additionally arms roses to Aaron B., Caleb, Xavier, Joey, Michael, John, Sean, and Tanner. Dotun already has a rose. Which means James, Aaron S., and Adrian are headed dwelling.
