'The Bachelor' Colton brings the final 7 women to his hometown

NEW YORK -- Colton began this week in Vietnam still questioning which women are there for the right reasons. Katie told him some people aren't ready and that echoed the sentiments of Sydney and Demi as they left as well last week. He's relieved though because he's headed home to Denver to see his family and hopefully get some clarity.

Our "Bachelor's" first stop was not to see his family or the women, but it was to see former "Bachelor" Ben Higgins. Colton explained what happened last week to Ben and Ben told him to be honest with the women. They shared some hugs and that was pretty much it.

At dinner, Caelynn was a mess and on the verge of tears. Colton was too. Caelynn decided to lay it all on the line and try her best to prove her love to him. She told him that she's falling in love with him and hoped it was enough for him to believe her. He then referenced the story she told him about her rape and how horrible that was for her, but they definitely shared a special moment. Colton said his fears about her are gone and none of that can take away from the way he feels with her and he told her that he's falling for her too! He offered her the date rose! Another hometown date was booked.

Another date card arrived and it read, "Hannah B., Home is where the heart is." That meant that Cassie, Kirpa, Heather and Hannah G. would be on the group date. Meantime, Caelynn warned Cassie that Tayshia is talking about them behind their backs to Colton. Caelynn confronted Tayshia and she tried to pin the whole thing on Katie. She said they all deduced that Katie was talking about Cassie and Caelynn, even though the two of them say they are there for Colton and committed to him, they aren't looking to be "The Bachelorette."

Colton picked up Hannah B. and took her to meet his parents! Wow, that is a big deal! And...she wore a cropped sweatshirt? That's how you make a good impression? They all sat down and chatted with her and seemed to like her. Colton's dad said that he should just trust his gut. Hannah told his mother that she told him that she was falling for him but Colton hasn't said it back to her yet. Colton even revealed to his dad that he's not there yet with Hannah. His mom kept encouraging Hannah to be open and honest and it seemed as though poor Hannah was walking into a breakup this evening. She even sensed something was off as they drove away. He seems like he just wants to get it over with.

Hannah showed up in a metallic pink dress with poofy shoulders and I don't know about Colton, but I would end it right there. Still, he told her she looked stunning. They talked a bit about how the day went and Hannah thought it went great. Colton said that he felt grateful to talk to his parents about the importance of the week. She gave him heartfelt answer after answer and none of it seemed to have a deep impact on him. Nothing she could say could get his heart to where it needed to be. He told her that he couldn't get there with her. He said he can't shake her dad's hand in her hometown if he still has doubts. Hannah B. said she laid it all out there, so there you have it. She's confused as to what he wants, but she doesn't want him to meet her family if he doesn't feel strongly about her. As she left, she told Colton to listen to what people say about the other women's intentions. She said she was upset at how everything went as she drove off in the limo.

The last date card arrived and it read "Saying goodbye is never easy." There are four girls on this group date, but now there are two roses instead of just one. The four meet up with Colton as he arrived on a steam engine. They boarded the train and got a tour of the area. Heather pulled Colton aside first once the train stopped. She said that it wasn't fair to him to take him to her hometown because she's not ready for it yet. Colton said if it's not 100% then it's the right thing to do. He offered to walk her out. She boarded the train and it took her away. The other women were shocked! Wow, Heather waited all that time for her first kiss only to cut him loose!

Kirpa followed and Colton did ask her about what was said. She told him she didn't want him to be blindsided and end up with the wrong person. She told him that Cassie and Caelynn aren't ready. She said that they were the only two girls who got defensive after Katie left. Colton is hoping that his gut is right. Kirpa told the ladies that she confirmed what Katie said. Cassie gasped. She said why would you spend your time talking about me. She said it was a lie! We didn't really get to see his time with Hannah G. so that was a bit weird. Colton said he didn't know what he wanted to do with the roses yet. He asked for an evening portion of the date.

Is anyone else glad this is the last group date? At this point in the show, they are never fun. The women wouldn't even look at each other. They sat at the dinner table and gave Colton hugs as he walked in. He pulled Hannah G. aside first. It was awkward hearing Hannah G. giggle outside as Kirpa and Cassie sat there in silence. Colton quickly returned to the room and gave Hannah a rose. There's just one rose left. Hannah returned back to the house and told Caelynn and Tayshia that Cassie and Kirpa got in a fight about the Katie gossip. Back on the date, Colton thanked Kirpa for her information. Meantime, Caelynn hiked on over to the date and confronted Colton. She told him that Kirpa is not telling him the truth. Then, she left. Colton returned to the room, picked up the rose and offered it to Cassie. He walked Kirpa out and she seemed pretty unemotional about the whole thing at first, but then cried in the limo. Colton revealed that he's falling in love with Cassie, he didn't tell her yet though, and he's very excited to meet her family.

Next week, it's the hometown dates! They look as intense as ever, so you won't want to miss them next Monday!
