Kristina wants an explanation from Blake before she considers rekindling their relationship. The women scramble ahead of the rose ceremony, which will see three of them sent home.

It’s the first rose ceremony of the season and the drama is already ratcheted up! Two very different men – Blake and Dylan – have their hearts set on handing their rose to Hannah G., but who will offer it to her and will she accept?

Hannah G. has a stunning revelation to share with one of her suitors. Demi is having difficulty moving forward with Derek and shares the feelings she still has for a woman back home. Caelynn has some moves of her own to make. Another suave newcomer provides a powerful temptation for Nicole. As the ladies get ready to hand out the roses, the most vulnerable men plan to pull out all the stops at the cocktail party.

The explosive start to this week’s adventures in Paradise tests Jordan’s friendship with Clay, as Christian aggressively competes with him for Nicole’s affection.

The drama picks up with Demi explaining to Chris how conflicted she is between staying and exploring a relationship with a man she cares deeply for and leaving for a certain woman she can’t stop thinking about back home.

Tayshia has been having a lot of fun with John Paul Jones, but she encourages him to explore his options with other women. All of this action leaves Tayshia free to explore another relationship with a wonderful guy. The relationship merry-go-round spins faster and faster this week until it’s almost out of control.

Emotions are running high between the men and women in Paradise. Everyone seems upset until a surprise package arrives with an invitation to the wedding of Chris Randone and Krystal Nielson, who got engaged at the end of last season. However, Clay, a good friend of the happy couple, must face his ex-girlfriend Angela, who is a bridesmaid, for the first time since their breakup.

Sensational confrontations take center stage in Paradise this week. Angela’s arrival brings trouble when Clay discovers feelings bubbling up for his ex-girlfriend that put his current relationship with Nicole in jeopardy. Angela also must tackle her unresolved feelings for Clay as she tries to move on with Mike.

All those left in Paradise attempt to reassure themselves by checking in with their romantic partners to make sure they are all on the same page, as their time together is winding down.

Emotions are at a fever pitch on the beach as Dean makes a shocking return to Paradise to ask Caelynn to leave with him immediately. But before she can come to any conclusion, she must talk to Connor with whom she was hoping to build a future. Chris and Katie are hoping that their make-or-break date will show them just how amazing their relationship could be, but will Chris decide to let his walls down and open up to her? It’s almost the end of Paradise and the couples are feeling the heat.

What couples will survive this last intense week in Paradise? Hannah and Dylan attend a local child’s birthday party, giving them a glimpse of what the future might bring and inspiring them to share their feelings for one another. Nicole can’t wait to say “I love you” to Clay, but will he be able to reciprocate? Shocking breakups litter the beach.

Chris Harrison and a studio audience watch as the four remaining couples – Demi and Kristian, Chris and Katie, Dylan and Hannah, and Clay and Nicole – spend one last night in the fantasy suites deciding if they are ready to take their relationships to the next level outside of Paradise. No one knows what the night will bring to these love-struck couples. Engagements, breakups and plenty of tears springing from both joy and heartbreak make for a compelling season finale.
