We’re back with Zach Shallcross for tonight’s latest episode of ABC’s The Bachelor. The ladies have all moved in and Jesse Palmer is checking in with everyone to see how they feel. Since Zach didn’t get to talk with everyone, he is making sure that everyone gets a date. There will be 2 group dates and a 1-on-1 date so that everyone will get a chance to hang out with them.

Brianna, Brooklyn, Katherine, Mercedes, Bailey, Davia, Cat, Genevie and Kylee make their way and meet Latto who lets them know that they will be focusing on giving their Bad Bitch Energy for the date. She asks them to dance. After having some fun, they learn that there will be more women arriving and it’s Victoria, Tahzjuan and Courtney - part of the Bad Bitch Alumni! They’re going to help him find his lady and to bring in the attention of the person that they want. The women come in and make their way down the catwalk with props… Then they share a bit about themselves and how they have had a Bad Bitch Moment.

At the after-party, he gets to know those on the date a bit more. Katherine is clear that she doesn’t just want to be his friend and she is there for more. Brianna gets to talk with him and expresses a concern over really being seen by Zach because she came in with a rose as opposed to being chosen by him. It seems like he assures her that he does see something that.

Back at the house, another date card arrives. Christina Mandrell is given the 1-on-1 date. While Zach is chatting with Cat, Tahzjuan pops in to chat with him, so we now know that she is really trying to get on the show! She lets him know that she likes him and would like to see if there is a possibility that she can be added into the mix. Zach lets her know that he will have to think about it. The women come over to see why Tahzjuan is there. She lets them know that she found them to be weak and not a match for him. She said if they feel a certain kind of way, that says something about them and not her.

After their conversation, he pulls her aside to talk with her. He comes back to the women and lets them know that he couldn’t say yes to her request. He appreciated her shooting her shot, but he wanted to stay with those that he is building relationships with. The date night rose goes to Katherine.

While the women have a pool party, Christina Mandrell is having her 1-on-1 date which is starting off with a luxury helicopter. They head to his childhood home where she gets to meet his family and friends at his mom’s birthday party! When she sees pictures of him as a baby, she knows that she really needs to tell him about her child. As they head to their dinner, we know that there are going to be serious conversations that will be had.

She lets him know that she has a baby and as she tells him this, we know that he is processing this information. He lets her know that he has a lot to think about, but that he will be giving her the rose and has to know more about her and what he things about it. He doesn’t want her to think that her having a child is an automatic exit with him. She lets him know that she understands and that if he didn’t have a lot of hesitancy, then that would be a lie and she liked that he would be honest with her.

The remainder of the ladies goes on a second group date. It seems like he wants to keep it very chill by getting to have time with each woman so that he can find out more about them. He gets to talk with each one, prior to giving the rose, he shouted out some people that he enjoyed talking to and he gives the date night rose to Jess.

The rose ceremony is coming up and Zach happens to mention that Christina was on a date with him to his family. The other women didn’t know this and of course it created a bit of an emotion with the women. Although Gabi spoke with Zach in the group date, she’s glad she can talk with him again. She appreciates that he talked with everyone as it shows something about how he is. Instead of giving him a gift that could be awkward, she gives him peanut butter cups and they eat it Lady and the Tramp style and she receives a kiss. He talks again with Brianna and lets her know that he doesn’t feel like they have fun when they talk with one another. He also lets her know that although she wanted to share an issue that she had, if she resolved it with the other woman, then he doesn’t need to hear about it. The rose ceremony begins and one thing we’ll say is that Zach is pretty swift when it comes to letting each of the women go home. It does feel like he really thinks about who really fits with him best or that he attempts to understand why a person could be a fit, just in case he doesn’t see it just yet.
