Jennifer: Previously on "farmer wants a wife,"

There were breakthroughs on the road to love...

Tonight we took a huge step forward.

...And new arrivals natalie and ashley left the farms.

Bye.

A surprise mixer with family and friends...

Oh, my gosh!

...Led to some big questions...

- Do you feel like you're ready to open up? - Yeah.

If he asked you, would you pack up and move to mount juliet?

- I would. - ...And bigger opinions.

Can I tell you who my favorite is?

- Who? - Kait.

♪ I heard you calling

Tonight, the final solo dates...

Oh, my gosh.

You are an amazing, beautiful, smart, strong woman.

- Could you see yourself with a man like me? - Yeah, I can.

...Before our farmers face a moment of truth...

Soon you'll be heading to their homes to experience their lives.

You need to decide who those two women will be.

I don't want this to end. I love living here.

...And a shocking goodbye one of our farmers will never see coming.

I'm just scared of getting heartbroken in the end.

I don't wanna hurt anybody.

You know, it weighs on my heart.

This is our last time together on the farm.

( music playing )

Love is in the air as each of our farmers take one lucky lady

On a romantic final solo date.

But with the highs come the lows,

As the farmers have to dig deep and decide which two ladies

Will be the final women standing on their farm.

( music continues )

Nathan: I have three fantastic women living in the house,

Makenzie, and taylor, and allye.

But I'm super excited to go on this date with allye.

- Ready to hit the road? - Let's go.

This has definitely been a long time coming.

Allye and I haven't quite had the one-on-one time that we need,

And so I've got a couple things really special in store for her.

( music playing )

- Nathan: Well, we're here. - Yay! Beautiful!

Come on up. Here, I got a ladder for you.

- Oh! Chivalry isn't dead. Thank you, nathan. - Your chariot awaits.

I'm really looking forward to getting out on the water.

Allye and I's relationship has been lacking in the romantic area a little bit,

But we want to progress and see if there's truly a romantic side of it.

- This is so pretty! - All right.

- This looks pretty good. - Me and nathan are growing

A stronger connection than we had,

But I feel like it's just been on this friendship vibe.

So I feel like I want to dive deeper and today open up to him.

There you go.

( music playing )

So how are you enjoying the ride?

I know it's been a crazy couple weeks.

It's been really fun for me, honestly.

I absolutely loved meeting your family.

They absolutely loved you and really wanted me to see

If this connection can move any further.

I'm a slow burn, so it's more of a process for us,

But meeting his family was just amazing.

It's gotten me kind of excited to see where our connection can grow.

And so how are you feeling about things?

Could you see yourself raising your kids doing stuff like this?

I didn't have this growing up. Like, we didn't do a lot of this fun stuff.

It was every once and a while we'd go camping and stuff,

And my parents are the best, but I definitely wanna have fun family vacations

And do this kind of stuff with my kids.

And I could definitely see me raising a family here.

Nathan: Yeah, this is, like, some of the highlights of my childhood out here.

My mom actually, she was really good.

She used to always water ski and do the zigzags

- And the jumps and everything. - Okay, mama!

- Yeah, she was really good. - Your mom's not a regular mom.

- She's a cool mom. - She's a cool mom.

Nah, she's the best, and whenever, uh, you know, my dad passed away,

She wanted to continue to do the same things

That my family did growing up.

Allye: I love that. That's how my dad is, too.

That's definitely a trait I look for in a future husband,

Just 'cause I want someone that actually reminds me of my dad.

Mm-hmm.

The more and more time we get together,

I feel like the closer and closer we get.

In the last couple weeks,

I definitely think that our connection's getting stronger.

Oh, definitely. Yeah, I think we got a couple more things planned tonight,

- If you're up for it. - Yes.

Nathan: It was a fantastic day, and honestly,

I couldn't have picked a better person to spend it with.

And we're gonna have dinner, so I'm looking forward to sharing that with her.

All righty, let's hit the road.

Or the water.

He's already down to his final two ladies, megan and melody.

There's two amazing ladies left. They're both great.

I hope today's date with melody will help

Figure out which lady is the one.

Melody: Today's extremely important.

It's the first time I'm able to be alone with ty

Him and I were flirting.

But today I think I need to try to find out

Where are you at right now

As far as sitting right here, us together?

After going through all this process,

Like, I am looking for my lifetime partner.

I'm not in my twenties. I am 31.

I am at that-- I know I don't act it,

But I am at that age where I do need to start

Heavily considering any kind of move that I do in my life.

- So that's what I'm doing. - And where do you see yourself in five years?

Oh, yeah, married definitely. Hopefully.

- Yeah? Mm-hmm. - Um, and just happy.

- Mm-hmm. - Was there a hesitation right there with kids?

I mean, honestly, I think if you didn't have a kid, I would be like, "no."

But the fact that you do have lennon and she likes me and I like her, too,

Like, I would not mind being her bonus mom at all.

Like, I would be heavily involved with lennon,

- If you don't mind. - ( both laughing )

Like, but you don't have that want or need to have your own?

I hate to say it to you, or I hate to break it to you, but usually I get what I want.

So right now I'll tell you, yeah, I'm okay with the bonus mom.

But if I did want a kid and we're together, you're gonna give me one.

- Yeah. Yeah? - Sorry.

I don't know that yet, but I'm just telling you, usually I do get what I want.

- Mm-hmm. Yeah. - So that's what would happen.

- Well, you should get what you want. - Yeah?

- Yeah. - Mm-hmm.

The whole vibe was amazing.

There was something in the air.

We were getting to know each other

In a different way.

If I were to stay with you, I'm learning how to ride.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

- Probably wouldn't take you long. - Like, I can't wait.

- Say "whoo." - whoo!

( both laughing )

I feel like we had such a special connection or a deeper connection today.

It was everything that I could've wanted.

Sitting on a tailgate at the very beginning,

And now it's two people that are looking for love.

Obviously, I would like to push more of the romantic side as well.

This is like my dream date.

Today you showed a really cool side to me.

- Of, like, a friendship. - Yeah.

Um, it's been cool to see how it's progressed

Through everything that's been going on.

It has been very hard, honestly,

'cause I know you and taylor have such a strong connection.

Like, I shut down sometimes seeing that,

But I'm really glad I'm still here

And I still wanna pursue that.

You have shown me the kind of man I want for myself

With just how you hold yourself, and you're just amazing.

So-- so, thank you.

Through a lot of my decisions that I make in life,

I either consult my mom or my family.

Hearing some of the things that my mom and my sister said about you,

Mitchell: I'm just lost for words. It is so bittersweet.

Mitchell: It feels like yesterday

I had five women roll up into the cabin

Now I'm only down to kait, kiana, and sydney.

It makes me feel really good that I actually am getting

Down closer to the wire of maybe finding true love.

Kiana: I'm just glad that mitchell chose me for the last solo date.

And today I get one last chance

For him to share how he feels about our connection hopefully.

( music playing )

Look at these vines. This is so pretty.

I wonder if they have weddings here.

- I love that they kept the old tree log that fell. - Oh, yeah.

Mitchell: I chose kiana for my final solo date

Because I feel like she goes with the flow.

But I wanna have someone that can really dive into this relationship.

You know, be yourself, stick your neck out there,

Do you something that you wouldn't normally do

To separate yourself from the other women

And just make a difference, you know?

I'm really glad and happy

You picked me for the last one-on-one.

How do you feel after your parents met all of us?

Did they give their opinion

Or change your perspective in any way or--

- Everybody had something to say. - Yeah.

And everybody has their own opinion.

- And my mom and dad are different. - Yeah.

And then houston's different.

But that's why I brought in three different people,

Truly to give me some insight on perspective

That I wouldn't normally see.

- That's how it works though, right? - Yeah.

This isn't supposed to be just a walk in the park, if you will,

Even though that's what we're doing today.

Why don't we go get some wine, make it a little more enjoyable?

- I'm down. - Okay.

- We are in a vineyard. - Yes, we are.

( music playing )

Cheers.

- How do you feel? - I don't know.

I just noticed that I pulled back a little bit

When I saw that you were making other connections

With other women in the house.

Does that make you upset, I guess?

Yeah, I don't know, I hate the competitive aspect of it,

And it sucks,

But I'm kind of just trying to go with the flow.

At this point in time, you have to take initiative

Or else I feel like you're doing yourself injustice, you know what I mean?

'cause you can always look back and say, "I wish I did this."

But you won't look back and be like,

- "oh, I shouldn't have done that." you know? - Yeah.

- Like... - If we were actually dating, in a relationship,

That's-- of course, I would fight for you.

If we were already in the relationship,

I would do nothing but fight for you and fight for the relationship.

But because we're only, like, "dating,"

And you're dating other people, it's just-- it's hard.

For you to be chosen for the last solo date is important,

And it shows that I do care about you and I do want more time with you.

Um, could you see yourself with a man like me?

Yeah, I can actually.

I feel like I do sense that you care about me,

And I do appreciate that.

Thanks.

I feel really good about our connection.

I'd like to think that he sees my intentions and my heart and where I stand.

Do you think you'd have a wedding at a winery?

( mitchell laughs )

Kiana: So I am hoping to take that next step.

( music playing )

Are you ready? All right, let's go.

Brandon: I still have three beautiful women that I have a connection with,

Grace, joy, and emerson.

We're getting down to the bitter end here.

But at this point, it could be any of the three of them.

All righty, well, I'm gonna go get ready for my date.

- All right. - Good luck, girl. Have fun.

- Thank you! I'll see you guys. - Yes.

Pretty much just my whole body. I'm just kidding!

- Well, let's see your fondue skills. - Okay.

- All the chocolatey goodness. We're doing good. - ( joy laughs )

Cute!

I think this date will definitely be better than our last solo date

Just because of the way our relationship has grown with time.

- Are you ready for a toast? - I am.

- To really good second dates. - Aww! That's a good one!

- So I met your family and carlos. - Mm-hmm? Yeah.

How did they feel about everything?

You were a favorite of some.

- I was? - Uh-huh.

( gasps ) oh, my goodness!

- What a compliment. - Yeah.

- Thanks. - I mean, yeah.

I mean, from the beginning you kind of stuck out for some.

So I can't give it all away for you,

But you definitely got some praise.

Like, as far as choosing the last solo date,

I feel like our first date was good,

But it had some hiccups in it here and there.

And I think the most beautiful thing about that

Is that you didn't just, like, give up.

So I feel like we've grown a lot from the beginning,

And I really appreciate it, and I really appreciate you.

You deserve some praise for that, too, for not backing down.

- I tried a little bit. - To back down?

And I just wouldn't let you?

So what has been your favorite thing

On the farm so far?

- You. - ( both laughing )

Okay, I do love that.

I just-- I feel like I never wanna leave, you know?

Never wanna leave? So you see a possibility of being there?

Like, you could make the adjustment to the country living?

I think it would be my dream to stay at home

- And take care of the family. - Mm-hmm.

I'm kind of like pro have a job,

Get out of the house a little bit, breathe a little bit,

And then share the responsibilities.

- I'm just being honest. That really is my dream. - Yeah, no, honesty's good.

Like, I do really appreciate it.

The man should be the main breadwinner,

And the woman kind of should be...

- Like a caring-- yeah. - ...Treated like the princess.

And they should treat their man like a prince, you know?

I like that.

Joy really has put in the effort,

And that was something that meant a lot to me.

I really wanna let you know how much you are an amazing,

Beautiful, smart, strong woman, and I think that

That's something that should be celebrated.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

Joy: It feels great knowing that there's growth.

I definitely feel like I made a comeback from the first date.

I feel like we've both grown a lot from this experience.

And I respect you a lot, and I care for you a lot,

And I'm so grateful for you.

With his own dad, and I think we see to eye-to-eye

On some of those struggles of having a parent who is sick.

But brandon and mitchell still have three ladies and a final decision ahead.

"farmer mitchell, over the course of this journey,

You have opened your heart and your home to these ladies

In hopes of finding true love."

To experience their lives."

Didn't think it would happen this quickly.

Yeah, time goes by pretty fast, that's for sure.

And it was somebody that I was in love with.

So getting jennifer's letter this morning

Really put things into perspective.

I have a lot to think about.

Jennifer: But before any decisions are made,

There's farm work to be done.

Mitchell: Yeah, y'all know I'm new to the community,

And mr. Abernathy's been so gracious

And kind welcoming me here.

So we're gonna work some cattle, is that right?

Heck, yeah. We're gonna tag their ears and worm 'em.

- Sweet. Let's do it. - Sounds good.

Mr. Abernathy is someone that I really do look up to in the community.

He's got everything that I would have my hopes and dreams of.

So today is their final chance to build on their connections.

And I got a big decision to make.

It's weighing heavy on a man's heart.

- Hup, hup! That's good. Good, good. - Good girl.

Somebody go in there and slam that gate.

- Ha! - Good job.

You know, sydney suits this farm lifestyle the most.

- It comes natural for her. - No.

Sydney: I'll hold that.

Knowing that he has to pick two girls

To come back and meet parents,

I was honestly nervous

Just about the thought of him meeting my parents.

That's something super special to me.

There you go. Okay. You gonna tag?

Yeah, let's do it.

It's just, like, so real, you know? It's exciting.

Oh, my god. I just smoked that bee.

We're both great, so I don't know.

I'm curious to see what he does.

- Smoked. - Abernathy: Good job.

You know, it is really encouraging to see

How much the other two girls have grown towards this lifestyle.

Sydney: You got it, kiana.

In the beginning, I would never in all my dreams

Think of these two girls putting an ear tag on a cow.

- I'm sorry! Okay, yay. - Yes, kiana! Yay!

- He didn't even move. - I know!

Kait: Obviously, it's coming to the end,

And he has to go from three girls to two girls.

You want it turned where we can see the number.

It might suck in the end for me.

- I guess not. - Oh, she's not cooperating, is she?

I'm just scared of going all in

And then getting heartbroken in the end.

- Am I not doing it-- - you're good.

Here's to a little bit of traveling.

- Are you excited? - Well, yeah.

I guess I should ask, would you have me to new york?

Of course. I'd love for you to come to new york.

And then, megan, would you like me to come to nashville?

- Yes, definitely. - Good. All righty.

Any time you meet a family of a significant other,

There's a lot of weight to that.

You're meeting the people that they care about.

You're meeting the people that they value their opinions.

It is a little weird, kind of daunting,

To think that I could possibly be meeting

My future in-laws in the next few days.

Jennifer: It's almost dinner time on mitchell's farm,

But first, he has some unfinished business with kait.

I've always loved this corner piece of the property over here.

- Perfect. Aww. - But it only makes it more special with you.

I've always felt that we had a strong connection.

- Natalie's coming to say hi. - Hi, natalie.

But it's obviously nerve-wracking now that it's really coming down to it.

Thank you for your letter. That was really kind.

- Seriously. - You're welcome.

Since I'm on the bit reserved side,

It's hard for me to kind of show that I care.

I know it can come across that I'm not interested,

And I know that about myself.

And so that's why I just wanted to, like,

I don't know, write you something,

Let you know I was thinking about you.

Kait really thinks before she talks,

And my mom always taught me growing up

That's what you're supposed to do in life.

It definitely makes me happy, so I appreciate it.

I always listen to my mom's advice, so when she favored kait,

It definitely weighed on my heart a little bit.

- ♪ hold me closer - thank you.

♪ hold me closer

I have a big problem with not getting my hopes up,

But I wanted him to know that I really do care about him,

And if I get my hopes up, then I get my hopes up.

♪ whenever you need someone to talk to ♪

♪ I wanna be the one you can run to ♪

Jennifer: For farmers brandon and mitchell,

The time has come.

Each has three amazing ladies vying for their affection,

But only two can continue with them

On this search for true love.

Mitchell: This is our last time together on the farm.

I'm sort of, like, lost for words honestly because it is so bittersweet.

We can't imagine the position you're in having to send a girl home.

I'm sure that's really hard, and we see that.

Even though I had the last one-on-one date,

I'm a little bit nervous.

I'm just not used to having compete for a man's attention.

You've been very good and patient with us.

Mitchell: Through thick and thin, I wanna be that constant.

So truly, I feel like I've got a strong anchor,

And I'm ready for that adventure with a special somebody.

I really am.

I feel like I knew who he was sending home every single week

Just by the way he acts and his body language,

But this week I have no idea.

Kiana, will you join me by the fire, please, if you don't mind?

Sure.

- How are you doing? - I'm good. How are you?

Doing well.

Just, uh, I wanna ask, like, how--

From our date yesterday, how do you feel like things have been?

I feel good,

And, yeah, I don't know. I feel good.

- I'm glad that you feel good. - How did you feel our date went?

I felt like everything was beautiful,

But I just don't know if yesterday went the way that I wanted it to.

I mean, it was a great date, don't get me wrong.

Like, I'll remember it forever.

But, um...

...And it's been a really, really tough decision,

And I-- like, I don't...

I don't want to say that we don't have

The most special connection, but I do have to let you know

That have a stronger connection with the other two girls.

- Okay. - Um, but I want you to know

In the same light, I think the world of you.

- Thank you. - And I respect you.

I don't know. It's been hard, because I feel like y'all are all so close,

- I wanna see you fight for me more. - Mm-hmm.

And I felt like I haven't seen that.

And maybe I'm wrong, but I have to go with my gut.

- Just as you wanna be pursued, as do I. - Yeah.

And I just haven't felt, like, super...

- Pursued by me? - I love your heart and your soul,

- But I just need a little bit more fire. - Yeah.

Being in this experience, obviously it's set up to where

We have to kind of pursue you at the same time.

Um, but I respect your decision,

And I want-- I hope you find, you know,

The best connection for you and find your person.

I thought our date went really well the other day.

I guess it's all confusing,

But I think I gave it my all that I could do.

♪ this wasn't how it's supposed to go ♪

♪ I should be the one you're dancing with ♪

I just maybe wasn't willing to fight for his attention

For as much as he would like to see.

It sucks, 'cause I could see us dating and being together.

But at the end of the day, I'm really happy

I just got to be here and experience this.

♪ 'cause if you don't want me ♪

♪ then you're not the one

Grace: I feel like I'm just nervous

Because one of us is for sure being sent home tonight.

It's bittersweet. I don't want this process to end.

I love living here, and I love getting to know everybody.

- For sure. - Mm-hmm.

I feel a little, I guess, nervous going into tonight's dinner...

- Cheers. - Cheers.

...Just not knowing where brandon and I's connection is at right now.

And I just don't know what's to come.

Last family dinner here

- Before everything else changes, you know? - Right.

How do you guys feel about moving forward?

I've just really appreciated how you've held yourself,

And how patient you've been with all of us,

How emotionally in tune you are with everybody,

Which is impressive.

Joy?

Brandon, do you mind if I talk to you for a second?

Sure.

- ( sighs ) - all righty.

So what's going on?

All right, well, I kind of just wanted to talk to you.

- Mm-hmm. - You've taught me so much about myself.

You've taught me to be strong,

To be confident, to be vulnerable.

I respect you so much as a person.

But...

Um...

♪ when you feel on me

♪ lean on me

♪ when you're hurting, I can bring the remedy ♪

I respect you so much as a person...

...But the letter from jennifer came in today.

- Yeah. - Um...

...And it really put things into perspective for me.

Um, and kind of where my head is right now

Is that I have only ever

Taken one person home to my family,

And it was somebody that I was completely in love with.

And I don't know if right now

I'm ready for that step.

- Okay. - I don't know if I'm ready

To take you home to my family,

And I would hate to put you through that if I'm not ready.

And I would continue this journey if I thought that we could get there.

So it's actually the fact that you just don't think that we can get there?

- I don't think we can. - Okay.

I'm somewhat in shock about this because I didn't see it coming.

Maybe I was a little naive to the situation.

If she really felt like she needed to leave this late,

Like, maybe when our date didn't go good

I shouldn't have spent so much time

Focusing on trying to rekindle that

And spent it on maybe reba or annellyse

That seemed like they maybe did wanna be here.

All: Hi.

How's it going?

- So brandon and I just talked. - Mm-hmm.

Um, looks like I'm gonna be going home tonight.

Emerson: Okay.

Joy: Considering that hometowns are coming up,

I just don't think that our connection is where it should be at.

So I just thought it would be best that we break it off now.

That's definitely a surprise.

- Joy: Yeah. - For sure.

- I'm gonna miss you guys so much. - Gonna miss you!

It's gonna be such a different house without you.

Tonight I thought I was gonna have to ask somebody to leave,

- And then joy asked herself to leave. - Take care.

I'm shaking a little bit. Like, oh, my goodness.

I didn't think she was gonna say, "I'm ready to go home."

- Thank you so much. - Grace: I was really surprised that this happened.

I feel like they had developed a strong connection recently,

And I don't think that he was planning on sending joy home at all.

♪ everyone seems to lose

♪ somehow

I respect brandon so much as a friend. Keyword "friend."

Our relationship has grown so much over time,

But never for me got to a romantic level.

And I wish it would've, but it never did.

I was definitely planning on meeting her family

And going to jacksonville and doing all these things...

- Thank you so much. - ...And then out of nowhere she's like,

"I don't want you to meet my family. I'm done."

It's very disheartening and confusing,

But I have grace and emerson, and they're both amazing, beautiful women.

And life goes on.

♪ oh, how

♪ do I love me now?

Maybe I didn't observe and look at the situation as well as I thought I did.

It probably is the biggest letdown and the hardest goodbye.

Jennifer: Still to come on this season...

- Whoo! - ...Our farmers head to the cities...

- ( doorbell rings ) - I would hate for her to have a broken heart.

...Before making the ultimate big decisions.

Brandon: Both of these girls are so amazing.

I don't wanna hurt anybody.

( music playing )

She is the light of my world.

I'm falling in love with you.

And a very special episode

Reunites us with some familiar faces.

Do you feel that reba might've been right about joy's intentions?

Uh...
