On tonight’s episode of ABC’s The Bachelor, we see Clayton prepping to go to Iceland and to meet the 3 women. We also see the uneasy grouping of Rachel, Gabby and Susie. Jesse reminds them how key this week is since it involves the Fantasy Suites. Rachel is given the first date card and prepares for her date.

The beginning of Rachel’s date is a helicopter ride over Reykjavik, Iceland. When they land, Clayton tells her that they are about to go into a volcano.

Their date continues onto dinner where they get a chance to talk with them. Rachel knows that she wants to use this time to connect with him and to see where he’s at. She asks him directly what he thinks about them as a couple. He lets her know that he was not able to be 100% transparent with her when he was with her family. He says that he wishes that he told her that he is falling in love with her. Of course, she’s so happy to know this and it makes her feel better as they head to the Fantasy Suites.

The next morning, we find that they are very close and cuddly and they look like a great couple - but he has 2 more dates to go! He leaves her and announces loudly that he loves her too!

Rachel lets them know that they had a great date and is respectful in not divulging the details. We can see that Susie is a little rattled and Gabby gets ready for the date.

Gabby and Clayton have a dune buggy date. At their dinner, he lets her know that he is in love with her. They continue onto the Fantasy Suite. Clayton wakes up next to Gabby and they enjoy some breakfast. When he leaves, he lets her know that he is falling in love with her and how it feels great!

Susie and Rachel chat with one another and talk about how hard the week is. They ask Gabby how her date went and she says it was fun since they rode dune buggies. Gabby tells them that they stayed in a yurt that had a huge bed in the middle. She kept it PG but then Susie called out her very visible bedhead.

Susie decides that she wants to get all the info to find out everything that she feels that she needs to know. Clayton realizes that he has told 2 people that he is falling in love with them and is feeling the weight of that.

Clayton moves on to his 3rd date with Susie. Their first portion of their date is in a cold room, a cold plunge and into a body scrub which is a lot warmer than the elements that they were in. They have dinner together and Clayton plans to tell her that he is in love with her. Susie enjoyed the date and she feels secure in her relationship with him. She wants to ask him some questions and she wants to know where he is with her and everyone else. He acknowledges how he was happy to hear her say that she was in love with him and since that time, he’s realized that things are getting serious and that the night she shared that, he was falling in love with her too. He them emphasizes that he is in love with her. So, Clayton is in love with Rachel and Susie and is falling in love with Gabby. Susie is excited to hear about this, but she feels the need to tell him about things that she doesn’t want to compromise on. She asks if he feels this way with others and whether he has slept with another woman. She lets him know that it woudl be impossible to move forwad if he did that because she doesn’t want to share. Clayton is startled but then lets her know that he has said that he was in love with someone else and that he slept with someone else.

She lets him know that she doesn’t know if she can go forward knowing this info (although she doesn’t know she slept with 2 women). Clayton tells her he doesn’t want her to go just because of that, he claims that if he knew she felt that way, he would have approached things differently. Susie doesn’t know if she can continue on. Clayton is upset and talks with Jesse to work through what he is feeling. Clayton wants to iron things out with her and he feels like he’s being torn apart. Susie and Clayton continue to talk to figure out what they can do now that everything has been brought to life. He sends Susie home! He tells her that the fact that she didn’t fight for him during this “rough patch”, that she was not the person for him. He told her that what she did invalidated their relationship and ultimately, it makes him feel that the entire situation is invalidated!
