The Bachelorette, stationed in Brussels this week, saw Andi Dorfman narrow her suitors down to the top four, whose hometowns she’ll be visiting next week.

The Bachelorette Recap

Right off the bat, Andi selects Marcus for her first one-on-one date. Andi still has her concerns about him, since he did openly admit to her previously that he’d considering leaving the competition. Marcus claims he’s been working through his apprehensive feelings in his journal. Ultimately, he concluded that he’s in love with Andi, “So it’s full throttle from here."

Over dinner, Marcus opens up about his troubled childhood; his father ran off without warning and his mother was all about corporeal punishment. "[My grandparents] wanted the best for my mom, honestly, and they beat it into her—literally. So that's kind of how my mom did it to us," he admitted. Marcus' willingness to be vulnerable wins Andi over.

Andi’s next one-on-one date is with Josh in Ghent. Like with Marcus, she wants him to be vulnerable with her. He admits that it’s not an easy thing for him, which concerns Andi. Using her lawyerly wits, she finds a way to draw a confession of love out of him. First, she asks him the types of questions his family would ask him should he get the chance to introduce them to Andi. When he says they’ll ask him how he feels about Andi, Josh says, “I'm gonna tell them the truth… that I am falling in love with you."

On the group date, the men join Andi at castle ruins. The ever-confident Nick, who snuck Andi away from her hotel room the other night for an off the books one-on-one, thinks he has the group date rose in the bag, while Dylan unwittingly shows he doesn’t know what “ruins” are. At the Maredsous Monastery, Andi steals Chris away for some romance in the pottery studio. To the dismay of all of the guys, Nick does end up receiving the rose.

The cocktail party, which comes after Nick gets a good berating from his fellow competitors, is palpably tense. In the end, joining Nick on the hometown date weekend are Josh, Marcus and Chris.
