As connections get more complex, none of the girls feel their rose is guaranteed and at the first rose ceremony, two disappointed women are sent home. The morning after the ceremony, a notorious bachelor arrives, much to the annoyance of his longtime nemesis. Will history repeat itself, or will the bachelor vet fight for love?

As the rose ceremony commences, two devastated bachelorettes are sent packing. Later, two arrivals stir up interest in the ladies of Paradise, which impacts an existing couple and leads to the second double date of the season. Meanwhile, an opportunistic bachelorette makes her move to recapture her dream guy's heart, and a tempted woman puts her relationship to the test when she declares her attraction for another man.
