Vanessa and Nick seem to have one of the best relationships going into hometowns, and hopefully it stays that way after a trip to the Great White North.

With two one-on-one dates before hometowns, the connection between Vanessa and Nick is very strong.

During his trip to Montreal, Canada, the two went to meet her students. Vanessa is a teacher for special needs adults. These are the same students who helped her make the scrapbook she gave to Nick earlier in the season.

The whole interaction was truly heartwarming. All of Vanessa’s students were very emotional and happy to see her. Nick seemed a little uncomfortable at first, but he opened up by the end.

After the lovely visit with her students, it was time for Nick to meet her family. Unlike the other women, Vanessa’s parents are divorced, and they had to make two different stops to meet everyone.

First stop was a huge Italian family dinner with her mom’s side of the family. The meal itself didn’t seem awkward, but the sit-down chats are when things really got weird.

Vanessa’s sister said she would hurt Nick if he broke her heart. She, along with Vanessa’s mom thought that they didn’t talk about deep things enough.

Most of the tension came from potential living arrangements if they do end up together. It’s apparent that the two haven’t talked about that, and Vanessa’s family would not let it go.

After the awkward family meeting, the two went to visit Vanessa’s father, where things would surely be better.

During the talk with Vanessa’s father, Nick asks if he can have his permission to propose to her. He immediately calls Nick out and asks if he has asked the other women’s fathers for permission. When Nick tells him he has asked the others, he says he does not give them his blessing.

Eventually Nick convinces him that he is serious about her, and he reluctantly gives them his blessing.

With a terrible meeting on both sides of the family, Vanessa and Nick’s relationship doesn’t seem very strong.

Until next week when we find out who Nick sends home, stay here on Accept This Rose for everything The Bachelor.
