We're finally well into hometowns in this season of The Bachelor and it's everything that we're expecting it to be.

From Joey Graziadei going on solo trips with his remaining ladies to be able to further deepen his relationships with them to Joey having to make really difficult decisions to ensure he leaves with the best woman for him, there's nothing about this episode that's not going to leave you swooning.

Here's what you can expect to see in week 8 of The Bachelor!

Joey leaves Rachel smiling ear-to-ear

One of the hometown dates that you will have the fortune of seeing tonight is with none other than Rachel Nance. Rachel has always been a ray of sunshine, so it's no surprise that her family is the exact same way and welcomes Joey with open arms and beautiful Hawaiian leis.

Although they're making good ground on their relationship, becoming more and more in love by the second, sometimes feelings aren't enough to make it far enough to become Joey's fiancee.

Will she be the exception to the final four? We'll find out soon enough!

Daisy needs to figure out her feelings for Joey...quickly!

In Becker, Minnesota, Daisy brings Joey to meet her family. But, as much as Joey is getting on pretty well with Daisy's loved ones, Daisy isn't too sure about what she feels toward Joey.

On one hand, Joey makes Daisy very happy and full of butterflies when they interact. Plus, she has a special place in Joey's heart as the first contestant he went on a one-on-one with. However, on the other hand, Daisy has revealed she has mixed feelings toward Joey and can't quite place what it is she feels towards him.

With time running out quickly, Joey may not be patient enough to wait for Daisy to come around. What will she do to ensure that she knows she's serious? And, more importantly, will whatever action she takes be enough?

Joey may have the most difficult time with Maria

We've been falling in love with watching Joey and Maria fall in love! But all good things must come to an end because the fairy tale ending is seemingly coming to a close since Maria's family are very protective over her, especially her father.

Maria is scared out of her mind that her father isn't going to accept Joey, specifically when it comes to the fact that he has three other women he feels strong feelings for.

Sowing this seed of doubt seems to have gotten to both Joey and Maria, as, sadly, Maria reportedly ends up going home this week.

We'll have to see what exactly led to all of the above events as well as what will happen afterward. But for now, check out everything that's in store for the official trailer for week 8 below.

Be sure to tune in to tonight's episode of The Bachelor season 28 tonight, Mar. 4, at 8:00 p.m. ET on ABC!
