Lorenzo has his first of three overnight dates with Jennifer. They meet in Gothenburg, Sweden, where neither has ever been before. They go to an amusement park, where they ride the rollercoaster and then they go to an ice bar, where everything is made out of ice, from the furniture to the glasses! Lorenzo says that New York in the winter is colder, and asks Jennifer if she'd ever consider moving to New York. Jennifer says she definitely would since she can teach anywhere. To the camera, she admits she hadn't thought that far ahead and that she would miss her family, but it's a risk she's willing to take for Lorenzo.
She says she's taking this all very seriously, so she's not going to say yes to the Fantasy Suite if she doesn't feel that connection.
Over dinner on the waterfront, he asks her if she's ever been in love, and she answers "twice." Once when she was 16 and a very serious relationship in college. She says that even thought the last breakup was painful, it's good to go through that because now she feels like she's ready to get married and have kids.
Lorenzo, who was concerned about whether she'd open to him, is impressed by her candor.
In turn, she asks him what he thinks makes a relationship work and he says he thinks you need to keep that same level of excitement as when you first meet someone.
He hands her an envelope: it's a note with a key to the Fantasy Suite, if they decide to forego their individual hotel rooms. She tells Lorenzo she would love to spend the night as a couple.
They arrive at the suite, which is decked out with candles and champagne. They hit the outdoor hot tub and Lorenzo tells her how much he's enjoyed their day together. The moon is full and Jennifer makes a wish on it by emptying a glass of champagne over her shoulder.
To the camera, Lorenzo says he's developing stronger feelings for Jen than he ever expected, but he does still have two more overnight dates to go through.
His next date is with Lisa in Budapest. He tells the camera that the hometown visit made him nervous, because of all the wedding magazines she had and her friend showing up with a wedding dress for her to try on. It was also the first time he heard about her timetable for getting married, so he's not sure if she's here for the right reasons.
They go to a wine tasting and take in some local music. He's still not sure if he wants to give her the key to the Fantasy Suite. They take a river cruise, where they drink more wine. He says her parents mentioned she's a big fan of The Bachelor and she says, "It's good TV." He asks her which one she liked the best and she finds fault with all of them, although she says they were all interesting to watch. He asks if she applied for the show before she knew it was going to be him, and she says she did. He wonders why she would do that if she hasn't liked any of the guys so far, and she admits it's kind of weird.
She later says she feels put on the spot and that the conversation didn't go well. Over dinner, she says she's been in love twice. One guy she met in college and moved to Portland with him, but "they lost the passion" and then she met someone else. "While you were still together?" Lorenzo asks, and she says yes. That relationship was very intense, she says. Lorenzo is not happy to hear that they finally broke up for the last time just three weeks before she applied for The Bachelor.
She says she signed up on a whim and didn't think she'd be here, and is really pleased with the way things have happened.
He asks her if she'd be willing to move to New York -- after all, she owns her own home in Portland. She says it's a possibility, but it would take some time.
He brings out the envelope and she tells him she doesn't need to read it because she knows what it says. Even though it's been a challenging day, she says yes, she wants to go to the suite with him.
To the camera, she says she's going to try to work things to her advantage, because it's her last chance to save this date.
They go to the Fantasy Suite and over champagne she admits that dinner was tough on her and that she almost cried. She says she was thinking that he's not that into her and that she's not going to get a rose. She adds that she's felt off all day and that she doesn't want to screw up this important date. She has feelings for him, but she's not sure how he feels about her. He says she wouldn't be here if he didn't care about her.
He tells the camera that she's been so confident before because everything always went according to her plan, so he was glad to know that she does care when things didn't go quite right.
They share dessert together in bed -- fully clothed. But at the end of the date, they kiss, and Lisa later says "there is romance."
Sadie travels to Sicily to meet Lorenzo and confesses to the camera that she's nervous about what she'll do when he pulls out the hotel room key. Privately, he says he's excited to see her again and he loves the way she makes him feel.
She says she knows he's been busy, and since she says she really wants to know, he tells her he was in Sweden and Budapest.
She knows the other two Bachelorettes aren't virgins, so she doesn't know what happened physically, but that she hates thinking about it. She tells him it's great to be alone with him at last and they don't have to think about anything else. He says it's "Sadie Day and Night," which delights her.
He's planned for them to go scuba diving and that he's already checked to make sure it's safe and shark-free. They take a lesson in the hotel pool and after a while the instructor leaves and they kiss underwater.
Next up is a couples massage, outdoors under an awning. She says she's loving all these things that are firsts for her, but that she gets nervous because she likes him and she's feeling a lot of different emotions. The masseuses leave and they give each other massages.
At dinner, he says he's not sure about her feelings for him. She responds that she likes him a lot, ever since the plane ride, when she had to trust him. She tells him he's more mature and sophisticated than any of the other guys she's dated.
He's surprised by how much she opens up to him, and realizes he hasn't really told her much about himself yet. She asks him what he's looking for, and he says he wants someone who is happy with their life and happy to get up every morning. And he's looking for someone who will help him live life to the fullest.
Privately, she says that everything he's telling her is just what she's always wanted to hear and that she's a little scared at how quickly things are moving.
Knowing what's coming next, she asks for a few minutes alone. She wants him to know that she is conservative and that if she accepts the Fantasy Suite card, that will be a really big deal for her. She tells him that she's lost sleep over her decision.
Before she can finish her thoughts, he stops her and says he admires her for who she is and that he's not going to pressure her to take it, or do anything that's not comfortable for her if she does. He does say that he'd love to be able to talk to her off-camera, but that he'll respect whatever decision she makes.
She decides to take the risk so she can spend more time with him. They enter the suite and she oohs and aahs over the rose petals scattered everywhere. There's also a trail of candles laid out on the balcony. They curl up under a blanket on a couch outside and he tells her he's only enjoying being here because of her.
Back in Rome, Lorenzo has to decide whom to let go. Before Lorenzo presents the two roses for the evening, host Chris tells the women that they each have an opportunity to say something to Lorenzo.
Jen says that she had the best time of her life in Sweden and that even though they were freezing at times, he made her warm and that she's glad to be here.
Sadie says that she's loved every minute she's spent with him and that it doesn't even matter what they're doing, as long as she's with him.
Lisa takes a deep breath and tells Lorenzo that she knows that Budapest was challenging but that everyone has bad days and that it means a lot to her that they were able to get through it and have fun together.
Lorenzo thanks them for the compliments and says this is going to very hard so he wants to get it over with as soon as he can.
He gives the first rose to Sadie. The second one goes to Jen.
Chris tells Lisa to say her goodbyes and she hugs the other two women and wishes them luck.
Lorenzo takes her aside and explains how he made his decision. Even though he was drawn to her from the start, he was concerned that her marriage timetable meant that if he ever had asked her to marry him, she would say yes because of that and not because she loved him.
In the limo, she admits that she expected to get a rose tonight. She realizes he thought she wanted to get married for the wrong reasons but she says her timeline is not more important than finding someone she loves.
She adds that she doesn't think that the two remaining women were the best matches for Lorenzo, out of all the women he could have chosen. She starts to say how he made a mistake and then she bursts into tears and can't keep talking.
Back at his villa, Lorenzo thanks Jen and Sadie and they drink a toast of champagne.
