This week’s episode of The Bachelor was filled with emotion. Tayshia didn’t get enough intimacy, Cassie left Colton, and Hannah didn’t even have a date.

Tayshia led the way with the first date on this week of The Bachelor. They took a cozy helicopter ride over Portugal. Colton made a joke about extra virgin olive oil.

We awkwardly witnessed the day after the Fantasy Suite with Tayshia. She said it was interesting, and Colton said he liked their conversation. They didn’t have the physical intimacy that she was hoping for during their private time.

The next date was with Cassie. She had a hard time hearing her dad didn’t give his blessing to Colton. Then in true The Bachelor fashion, they flew Cassie’s dad to Portugal so they could talk about Colton.

Colton referred to Cassie as “The One” in a confessional before Cassie said she didn’t think she could “get there” with him.

The Bachelor alum Carly had a lot of anxiety over the fence jump which led to her posting a couple of videos of her jumping fences.

Colton told Cassie he was in love with her. She was full of doubt. Colton started shaking after telling Cassie he loved her. They had a heartbreaking goodbye, and Colton lost his mind and jumped the infamous fence.

Carly’s husband and fellow Alum Evan shared his own thoughts on the fence (he ain’t wrong, you guys).

Chris wasn’t able to find Colton, and it’s unclear how this season of The Bachelor will end at this point.

What’s on the docket for the next episode? Will Colton continue to obsess over Cassie? Will Tayshia realize she got totally ripped off during her overnight? Better tune in to find out!

Thankfully, we don’t have very long to wait. The Bachelor Women Tell All is comin’ at ya tonight and it’s promising to bring all the drama we could ever want. Twitter is sure to respond the best way possible!
