But will he give her the biggest gift of all – a rose at the end of the evening? Krystal also captures a special one-on-one date with Arie, jumping on a private plane to his hometown of Scottsdale. Not only does she get a taste of what life would be like if she were to get the final rose, but she also gets to meet Arie's father, the two-time Indianapolis 500 winner, his mother and younger brother. Krystal is envious of the close-knit family Arie enjoys as hers is so different.

The intense competition continues at the after party for Arie's time and attention.The cocktail party invites more conflicts between the women with two of them squaring off in the middle of the festivities. Three heartbroken bachelorettes go home as the remainder celebrate continuing on the journey to share Arie's love.
