The Most Dramatic Rose Ceremony
The episode started with the return of the rose ceremony that last week’s episode left on. The girls were excited to get the night started as each one felt they had their own special connection with Clayton. As both girls arrived they started to wonder why Susie hadn’t arrived yet.
Clayton arrives and tells the girls that Susie is not here. He continued saying, “The person standing in front of you right now is not the person you were last with.” Leaving the girls wondering what could gave gone wrong. Clayton suddenly told the women what unfolded saying, “This is the hard part to say but I was in love her and I am in love with each of you and I was also intimate with both of you.” Gabby immediately started to get emotional as Rachel was just in complete shock.
Both the ladies walked off as they began to break down in tears. Sharing their thoughts with producers from the show. Rachel shared, “I’ve never felt a pain like this before.” Clayton was still standing in the same spot as Jesse tried to console him as the women literally cried in the background. That’s when Clayton shared with Jesse, “I knew saying this would hurt them, but they deserve to know.
Gabby then walked up to Clayton to try and get some clarity from the whole situation. Gabby asked Clayton what happened with Susie. Hitting Clayton with tough questions that at some points left him speechless. Gabby asked how Clayton would choose if he loved all three women. That’s when Clayton gave the worst answer he could saying, “Whoever I pick is who I love the most.” As Gabby put it in the episode “Wrong f—-king answer”. Gabby walked away from Clayton after their conversation still needing to process what he just said.
Now, it was Rachel’s turn to grill Clayton. Fighting through tears she said last week wasn’t special to her anymore because of the fact that he told three women he loves them. Clayton responded saying, “The love I feel for you is not like the love I feel for Gabby.” Rachel broke down in Clayton’s lap feeling as though her heart was breaking. Clayton kept reiterating to Rachel, “This is worth fighting for”. The conversation ends with Clayton asking Rachel to give him a chance as his parents are here. Rachel seems more open to the idea than Gabby.
The women then dramatically return to finish the rose ceremony. Clayton apologized for putting both these women through what they did tonight. Clayton also shared that the women don’t have to accept the rose if they do not want to. He first calls out Rachel’s name and she decides to accept her rose. Next, he calls out Gabby’s name and she stands in front of Clayton conflicted with what to do. That’s when she shockingly says she can’t accept the rose and she says sorry. Gabby tells Clayton, “Do you want to walk me out?” Rachel is left in shock as she bends down to the ground thinking what this means for her.
Meanwhile, Clayton is begging Gabby to stay and give their relationship another chance. After their conversation, Gabby decided to go back to the rose ceremony as she embraced Rachel in a hug. Clayton stood there and called Gabby’s name for the second time that night, but this time she accepted the rose. Clayton decided to have the most awkward toast of the night as he kept apologizing to the remaining women.
