The Bachelor

S13:E03 - Episode 3

Tensions mount among the 12 remaining bachelorettes and jealousy reigns when it's revealed that there will be two special one-on-one dates -- each with a rose at stake -- as well as a group date. Once again, some women will not go on a date at all. Jason orchestrates a touching reunion with Stephanie and her daughter, Sophia, and the surprises keep on coming as they all go to Legoland California for a day of fun. However, the couple shares a heart-to-heart talk trying to discover if their connection is deeper than just the fact that they're both single parents. Next, a lusty group date is all for a good cause, as Jason and eight of the bachelorettes raise money for breast cancer research for the Keep A Breast Foundation. Each woman makes her own "bust cast" to be auctioned for charity and finishes with a flourish, painting on their own personal touches on their casts.At the cocktail party afterwards, things get serious as one bachelorette shares with Jason that she had breast reduction surgery; one bachelorette shows him pictures of her child; and another becomes visibly upset about the competition. Jason checks out the results of their artistic labors and offers a rose to the woman who impressed him the most. Then, for the next one-on-one date, Jason arrives at the house to pick up Natalie, but, before he whisks her off in a limo to the private jet that will take them to Las Vegas, he first surprises her with a million-dollar diamond necklace from Sophia Fiori. The two enjoy a swank dinner followed by a private concert by pop phenomenon Kate Voegele. But the ever-present rose is on the table. Will Natalie return to the house or be sent home?Before the rose ceremony, the women are asked to be honest in talking about each other in front of Jason. Megan, Lauren and Nikki reveal their rivalry and another woman becomes so anxious about the possibility of being sent home that she runs out of the ceremony. Three women go home in tears, leaving nine bachelorettes to continue the fairytale journey.
