Cassie and Caelynn take on Tayshia and Kirpa

Warnings from Sydney, Demi and Katie hit Colton Underwood this week, leaving him wondering who is ready for a commitment and who is not. And when everyone's stories do not line up, our poor bachelor just has the courage to make tough choices.

At the end of this week's "The Bachelor" episode, we have a last quarter that will bring Colton back to their hometown.

This week, Colton and the other ladies come to his home in Denver. Colton catches up with Ben Higgins (whom you'll remember as single from season 20). In fact, Ben gives Colton solid advice after learning all the drama "who is ready and who is not." Ben tells him to ask the women individually why they are there and also suggests to him to "bend over" and "to be intentional". The two friends are going (of course, they do).

Let's decompose the drama.

The house is where the gossip is

Colton meets the women (with the dog Sniper, the real star of the episode) and takes Tayshia one-on-one. If you remember, at the end of last week's episode, Tayshia said, "Colton knows that tea is getting ready and he wants it to be knocked down."

She kept her promise. After gambolling around Denver together and telling him he knew she was not one of the women he needed to worry about, he asked her what she had seen or heard.

She tells him that some women are not necessarily in this situation for the right reasons, namely Cassie and Caelynn.

"They are already talking about being the next" Bachelorette "" and said that they did not think that they would be ready for a commitment at the end of it, "she told Colton. , and says she believes that is who Katie, Sydney and Demi were alluding to.

Meanwhile, we see Caelynn and Cassie having a conversation during which Caelynn says explicitly about all this drama: "We know it's not us and if anybody names us, it's like "Well, you do not know us. ""

In an aside, Colton says that he had no questions for Caelynn and Cassie, and now he's doing it.

Tayshia and Colton prepare dinner together, "like an ordinary couple," says Tayshia. (Nothing in this situation is like a regular couple.)

Colton asks her about her family and warns her that her father may be closed and fearful because he is overprotective. He says, "I will not be able to kneel if I did not receive the blessing of a father at the end. It's something very important to me. It looks like we're going to find out: Tayshia gets the first pink of this episode and goes officially to her hometowns. Both head for Colton 's room, or as he calls it, "the place where magic does not happen". He says that he started falling in love with her (via a voiceover).

The other side

Caelynn gets the next face to face. Both are going snowboarding, which she has never done before. It's predictable, adorable. What is not predictable is the confrontation they will have.

Colton explains that Tayshia thought she was a woman who was not quite ready but wanted to listen to him.

"It does not make sense to me," she says. "The will I feel is in my heart and it's not something that someone can look at from the outside and just know." She says that Tayshia's story is "completely fabricated". In an aside: "I feel as if my future had just been torn away from me because a 28-year-old girl, unsure of himself, runs around the house .I am the only one to fall in love of Colton ", followed by explicit language.

Colton has tears in his eyes in an apartment and says he's more confused than ever. Caelynn makes another heartfelt plea and tells him that she is falling in love with him. She too has a rose. He tells her, "I know I'm falling in love with you." Tayshia against Caelynn, begins.

The two go to the Red Rocks Amphitheater, where they dance and embrace at a private concert by country singer Brett Young.

Caelynn later confided in Cassie about what Tayshia said and then went to Tayshia herself. "To be perfectly honest, the only two people who acted defensively … feared for the talk (of Katie) were Cassie and you," says Tayshia. Tayshia adds that the women all came to the same conclusion: it was Caelynn and Cassie. It looks like "she said, she said, she said," again.

Goodbye begins

Hannah B. gets the last face to face and Colton introduces her to her family. But it's not such a big step in their relationship after all. Colton is not here yet with her. She is unfortunately. He sends her home.

She tells him, "Listen to people about certain things and their intentions," in a new series of enigmatic advice. She is angry. The other women in the house are shocked that she is going home.

All this leaves Hannah G., Kirpa, Cassie and Heather to go together for an appointment. Two of them are definitely going home.

They all ride together on a train to the mountain. He takes "was kissed "Heather, the first one apart, and in a different sense, she told him that it would not be fair to take her to her hometown if she's not totally sure to 100% that she is ready for that, it seems like she will have the chance to kiss someone else.

Next step: Cassie. Colton tells her the truth about what Tayshia said about her. "I'm telling you, I would not be here if it was not for you," Cassie told him.

When it's Kirpa's turn, she tells Colton that she does not want him to be blind and she fears for Cassie and Caelynn. She says that they were the only two girls to be on the defensive after Katie left, and everyone found it very strange.

Cassie and Kirpa then argue, Hannah G. remaining silent during the fight. "Why are you tackling things that are not true to him?" Says Cassie. Kirpa says he saw red flags.

Colton still does not know what to do with roses and needs more clarity.

Who goes home: Cassie or Kirpa?

The group leaves, the tension of Cassie and Kirpa not having been solved. Colton takes Hannah G. aside and lets Cassie and Kirpa sit awkwardly in silence. He returns to get a rose for Hannah G, who then recounts Cassie / Kirpa beef in Caelynn and Tayshia.

Caelynn goes to Colton's house and tells him that she wants him to have all the facts, and he gives the rose to … Cassie!

He says he falls in love with her in an aside.

Caelynn and Cassie may have been on the same side this week, but since there are only four women left in the competition, they will have to turn around at some point, right? And now that Tayshia no longer has the Kirpa ally, who knows if she will survive another week?
