Chris Harrison checks in with Becca over some tea. She's finding babies extra cute and reading wedding magazines, so this is getting serious.
Jason gets the first date card, which sets Chris off about how he wants a 1-on-1 or even a 2-on-1, which somehow leads to Chris and Lincoln arguing over who would "win" on a 2-on-1 and the rest of the guys looking around awkwardly.
The date is a hodgepodge of stuff: they take a trolley around Richmond, glaze some donuts, visit a church, go to the Poe museum and attend an "Unhappy hour" which is just a depressing, weird, gothic hangout. Then they go to a bar where three of Jason's friends are waiting, which is actually a pretty cool surprise considering who Jason's been stuck with the past month. Jason's friends sing his praises to Becca, Jason tells his friends how great Becca is. That evening, they chat about his friends and how hard it's been in the past to open up, but it's easy with Becca. He tells her about how it was difficult when his Grandma got Alzheimers, Becca tells him about losing her dad when she was 19. They talk about not taking people for granted. They kiss, he gets the rose. Becca says she has one more surprise for him. It's just a balcony where they can kiss with a nice view.
Next up is a group date with Colton, Garrett, Wills, Connor, Blake, Lincoln, and Chris. Chris feels like he needs to "go all in, guns a blazing; it's do or die," which is a bit dramatic, even for this show. They are greeted at the Capital or something by George Washington and Abraham Lincoln (who lets Lincoln try on his hat), where they are told they will be Campaigning for Becca. Or campaigning to be Becca's running mate. Or campaigning for her hand. It's unclear. Anyway, they go out to podiums where the Governor of Virginia, Chris Harrison, Abe Lincoln, and George Washington ask the guys questions. It's all going just swell- guys hamming it up about Becca and Virginia, until Lincoln takes a shot at Chris threatening to leave. Fun time is now over and it turns into a Chris vs Lincoln debate. Chris goes on about how Lincoln body shamed him for being fat in the past and that he's aggressive. Chris also insists he's honest. Becca says it's embarrassing.
That evening, Lincoln pulls Becca aside first to tell her he's scared of Chris and so is everyone else. Chris interrupts and Becca confronts him. He's "uncomfortable" and Lincoln is just fabricating things. Garrett interrupts, but Becca is distracted and needs some alone time. Garrett is pissed and starts arguing with Chris, who had been arguing with Lincoln. Becca does get some nice time with Garrett, Colton, and Wills, and gives the group date rose to Colton.
Last date this week is with Leo. Becca's still a bit upset about the group date drama. They take a little plane ride around Virginia, collect and shuck some oysters, and then eat the oysters. "You're pretty hot," Leo tells Becca as they kiss. Over dinner, Becca tells Leo he saw her at her worst, to which he responds, "that's your worst? You were mildly, like, not yourself." Leo then chats about his parents and how he feels like his dad is disappointed in him since he was good at baseball but didn't make it big. He knows he's hard on himself. Becca reassures him that he's nice and hot and can't imagine people seeing him as not a stand-up guy. He gets a rose and they go to some country concert where fans mob them on their little riser.
Back at the hotel, Chris is dramatically journaling while the other guys talk bout his spiraling. Chris storms off when Leo returns with a rose. He rants about Lincoln: "the man eats 12 eggs everyday. His cholesterol must be 6,000." Why Chris is hung up on Lincoln's cholesterol is unclear. He wanders over to where Becca is staying in a last ditch effort to "win." He complains about other guys and that he can see them getting married. Becca is just seeing red flags and lets him know she doesn't want to drag him through an entire rose ceremony. She offers to walk him out and he says he can walk himself out. He seems like a guy who takes rejection horribly.
It's time for the cocktail party, except, oh no, Becca's cancelled it! It's straight to a rose ceremony where Garrett, Blake, and Wills get roses, and Lincoln and Connor go home. And we're finally going international! Bahamas next week before it's back to the states for hometowns.
