Desiree Hartsock thought she would happily end up with Bachelor Sean Lowe. Their relationship started off incredibly strong, but somewhere along the way Desiree lost her confidence. After struggling to regain what they once had, Sean and Desiree seemed to be on the right track - until the hometown dates. Millions watched, stunned, as Sean sent Desiree home, and they fell even more in love with her as she struggled to tell him he was making a big mistake. Now it's time for Desiree to call the sh*ts when she gets her second chance to find love.

- Tonight on
"The Bachelorette"...

[both screaming]

[laughter]

- We're gonna get weird.

Do you like it?

- You impress me.
- No, you impress me.

- Gabby's, hands down,

the coolest girlfriend
I ever had.

I love that I can just
be myself around you.

- Me too.

- Every moment I spend
with Rachel,

the connection is just there.

I love that feeling
of seeing you smile.

- My connections
are so much stronger

than I ever thought possible.

- I'll take any piece of you
any day.

- I feel so happy.

♪ ♪

- I care about Rachel,

but I can't put
my initial feelings

for Gabby aside.

- [gasps]
- This is humiliating.

- Yeah.
- Humiliating.

All: Oh!

- There's Logan coming in.

That's just a huge wild card.

- Is Gabby questioning

her connections
with the rest of us?

- That's, like, what's kind of
going through my head.

- Actions carry weight,

and you can't do something
like that.

It's gonna cause a stir.

[Rachel sobbing]
- Oh.

- Oh.
- Whoa.

- I don't want
to do this anymore.

- It all starts right now.

♪ ♪

- Waking up this morning,
I'm so excited.

We're sailing to another
beautiful city in Europe:

Bruges, Belgium.

I'm just excited to explore
a new country

with my group of guys.

I think, ever since we
started traveling,

we've all been
in really good spirits

and truly here to find love.

Thank you.

I just hope that we keep
kind of riding this high.

We are very much in the middle
of this journey,

and I'm developing

deep feelings
for these men already.

But as my connections
get deeper,

I never know who's
going to surprise me.

- Dude, look how beautiful
these towns look.

♪ ♪

- I'm so excited
to be in Belgium.

I've never been,
and I'm really excited to try

some real Belgian chocolate.

There are canals,
little alleyways,

horse-drawn carriages,
and it's just so romantic.

It really is
out of a fairy tale.

Moving into this week,

I am excited for a fresh start.

The past couple weeks have
been really difficult for me

because I definitely feel
like there's been

a lot of rejection.

So I do want to put that
behind me.

I have a group date today,

and I feel really confident in
the guys that are here for me.

They step up when I ask them to.

I just only hope that this week,

they can continue
to show up for me.

- It was tough seeing Rachel
upset, you know,

over the past couple days.

You know, as a group,
we gotta make her feel good.

- I think it comes down
to all of us showing

how much we want to be here.

There's not one guy
around here that I don't think

is gonna do that.

- This has been a hard
couple weeks for Rachel,

and we all want her to smile
and enjoy her time,

and, like, I want those things
for her too.

[knock on door]
- Date card.

- But that doesn't change
what I feel,

which is I feel for Gabby.

And I'm just ping-ponging this
in my head constantly.

- Tino.

Zach.

Meatball.

Ethan.

Tyler.

Logan.

"How sweet it is
to be loved by you...

Love, Rachel."

- Usually, seeing your name
on a date card

is instant gratification, right?

But this one's kind of
mixed feelings for me.

But...
- Yeah.

It's nice to see your name
on the date card,

but you obviously kind of hope

that you were the one person
not on the date card.

But congrats to you, Aven.

Looks like you got
the one-on-one.

- Yeah. That's exciting.

- For this whole journey,
I've gotten to know Rachel

as this wonderful person,

but the worst thing I could do
is get to a point

where relationships
are at a more serious level

and then bring this up.

[tense music]

Before this group date
takes off,

I need to talk to Rachel.

I need to tell her I can't go,
and I need to tell her why.

I have no clue how she'll react,

but maybe she'll understand.

I'm praying she does.

Hi.

- Oh, hi.

- How are you?
- Good, how are you?

- Sorry for the surprise, but...
- Yeah.

- Uh, mind if I come in?
- Do you want to come in?

- Thank you, thank you.

I wanted to have a quick talk,
if you had some time.

- Yeah.

- How are you doing?
- I'm good.

How are you?

- I'm good.

Um...

I've, like, never really
gotten a chance

to tell you that, like, uh...

Um...

like, how honored I am,

like, whenever you put
a rose on me.

- This feels really good
to hear you say.

- Yeah. Um...

But I feel like something's
kind of been holding me back

a little bit,
a feeling that I've kind of

been anchored down by a bit.
- Yeah.

- And like, at the beginning
of this journey,

first group date,
going over to your house,

you and I shared, like,
a real connection.

- Mm-hmm.

- And I also got to talk
with Gabby.

- Mm-hmm.

- And me and Gabby

also had a strong connection.

- Yeah.

- And at the end of the night,

I originally thought
that I was going

to receive a rose from Gabby.
- Okay.

- And it's been hard for me
moving forward

to kind of forget
about that connection.

And when I read
that date card today,

I felt that everyone else
on that card

was sure
that you were going to be

someone who they could end up
with at the end of this.

- Mm-hmm.

- Well, I still had reservations

and feelings for Gabby.

- Mm-hmm.

- And that being said, like,

I can't go today.
- Okay.

- And I'm going to have
to, like, step away from...

From pursuing things with you.

[somber music]

I look at myself in the mirror,
and I'm like, "I'm a fool."

Like, look at you.
- Uh-huh.

- I'm surprised
that you even gave me a chance

in the first place.
- Yeah.

I mean, you accepted
so many roses from me,

when the whole time,
you really didn't

even want to spend time?
- No.

- Like, I appreciate
you bringing this to me.

If that's where
your heart is, like,

I appreciate you telling me.

I just wish
it would have been earlier.

- It's also not something
that I've been sure of

until recently.
- Yeah.

Like...

of course,
the first thing I think

when this first popped
into my head

was like, "You're crazy.

Like, look at Rachel.
Look at who she is."

- You don't have
to explain that.

You don't have to keep going.
I got it.

You know,
I'm not trying to be mean.

I just... I get it.
- Okay.

- Obviously,
this is tough to hear,

and no one really
wants to hear this, so...

- Yeah
- Mm-hmm.

- Um... thank you.
- Yeah.

I really thought going this
far, he wouldn't have flipped.

Like, looking forward, like,

I was really hopeful that things

could pick up with Logan and I,

'cause I think he's, like,
a great guy.

I'm attracted to him.

Like, I did give him

the first group date rose,

and this whole time,
he was like,

"How do I tell Rachel

I don't even want to be here?"

Well, good luck.

I'll walk you out.

♪ ♪

Everyone is leaving me.

It's just like, the rejection,
that just feels really awful,

and it almost feels like
I'm doing something wrong.

[dramatic music]

[crying] I don't know.

Something's clearly wrong
with me, but I don't know.

I mean, no one can sit here
and honestly tell me

I didn't fail.

It's just... this was
supposed to be, like,

my time to, like, find someone,

and everyone's rejected me
week after week after week.

There hasn't been one week
someone's stayed all week.

I just don't even know
why I'm here.

Everyone's that's not
is gonna leave at some point.

And I feel like now
is the perfect time,

so why don't they all
just leave?

Then at least I don't
have to say that I quit.

I don't wanna do this anymore.

- Dude.
- Wow.

We're in Bruges, baby.

Oh, it's so beautiful here.

I love this place already.

The smell of Belgian
chocolates and waffles,

the beautiful castles,

the beautiful horses
that we see.

Hi, horses.

[horse whinnies]

- I just knocked it
out of the park

on a one-on-one in Paris
with Rachel last week.

Now it's time
to show that, like,

I can make her feel special

and on top of the world
on a group date.

[crowd cheering]

- Yeah!
- Oh, they're in chocolate!

- I'm excited to see Rachel

and kind of enjoy the day
with her.

You know, see her laugh,
see her smile.

- Oh!

- Logan's not with us right now,

and I don't know why.

But one less guy does give me
more of an opportunity

to talk with Rachel,
and I can't wait

to spend more time with her.

[horn blares]

- [crying]
I just don't know what to do.

My guys just, like, keep getting

the short end of the stick
constantly.

Like, I feel bad that they
have to keep dealing with this

week after week,
but I'm not ready right now

to just go on a group date
and act like

I don't feel like a huge loser.

- Wow.

- And, like,
the worst part about Logan

is, like, the whole time,
he was just seeing

how far he could get until
he could switch to Gabby.

Logan, how many weeks
were you gonna go

before you did this,
when you knew apparently

at that first group date?

Why did you accept my rose?

This is two weeks
before Hometowns,

this is happening.

Like, I should have

at least seven guys
who want to be here for me,

and I don't.

[crying]

Like, I'm literally just, like,

such a failure
as a Bachelorette.

Can I come in and talk
with you for a second?

- Yeah.
- I'm so sorry.

- Thanks, Jess.

- Well...

- [sighs]

- Talk to me. What's going on?

- I mean,
it seems like I thought

we would be past the point
of people changing their mind,

and we're not.

And it just doesn't seem
out of the realm of possibility

for it to continue to happen.

And not even just, like, Gabby,
but just for people

to change their mind about me.

- Mm.

- And it's just scary,
because it's like,

how could I not keep expecting
it to happen at this point?

- Yeah.
How is it affecting you?

Like, how are you now
towards the other men?

- I definitely feel like
I have walls going up,

and it's just unfair
to the guys who are here.

They have to keep
picking me back up

'cause I keep having, like,
these really bad days,

but I feel like I'm just, like,

getting dealt
really bad cards, like,

pretty much in a row,
so it's, like,

hard to keep having momentum.

Some stuff went down,

she's in the right mind-set

So head on back to the ship

Rachel will see you there
tonight.

I'm very sorry.

See you in a bit.

really disappointed.

I want to enjoy these moments
with Rachel.

And, you know, every single day

I don't get a chance
to spend with her, you know,

those are memories
that I miss out on with her.

- Now we don't really even get
to, like, share this with her.

So let's just bring
our A-game tonight,

cheer her up, keep it
as low drama as we can.

I'm really bummed.

I just really wanted to be able
to experience Belgium

with Rachel, because we had
such an extraordinary time

in Paris.

And for anybody else
to bum her out

and it affect,
like, an experience

I can have with her,
I feel stripped

of a wonderful opportunity

I didn't want to do it.

I was like,
"I don't want to be here.

Can you send me back?"

And I didn't get to see Mom
that often.

You know, our relationship
to some extent

was like through a phone for
a while, you know what I mean?

Which was tough like,
in high school, and it sucked.

And honestly like, you know,

you want to have like
a stable relationship

with both your parents,
but I just really

never saw her that much.

So you know, me and my mom
got really close

when I got older,
because of all the time

that we didn't have
when I was younger.

So in regards to all that, she
kind of made something for me,

and it's kind of
like a good luck,

good energy type of thing.

So it's like this little
like, rubber bracelet thing.

how, you know,

these last couple of weeks
have been tough for you,

I think like, if you hold
on to it for a while,

maybe it'll like turn
your experience in all this

around for a little bit,
