Whose Ex-Boyfriend Makes a Grand Gesture to Steal Back One of the Bachelorette’s Hearts?

“Episode 2209” – Arie, weeks away from a possible proposal, takes his final three women – Becca K., Kendall and Lauren B. – to historic, exotic Peru for the adventurous, romantic overnight dates. From an exhilarating buggy ride zigzagging up and down the sand dunes of coastal Peru to a thrilling plane tour of the country’s famous Nazca Lines to a catamaran excursion around the breathtaking Ballestas Islands, the dates are filled with passion and excitement as Arie continues to explore what his future might be like with each of these potential mates. More torn than ever, Arie acknowledges that he has fallen in love with two incredible women and has professed his love to both. However, a blockbuster surprise threatens to derail Arie’s fairy tale ending, on “The Bachelor,” MONDAY, FEB. 26 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EST), on The ABC Television Network, streaming and on demand.

A sun-splashed day of buggy riding amid the sand dunes with Kendall leads to a serious dinner conversation where the vulnerable bachelorette opens up about her fear of being the “novelty girl,” the “quirky” one that men may like to date but not take seriously. After Arie assures her that he sees their relationship as special, Kendall confesses her real feelings toward Arie. Will that lead to the fantasy suite?

Lauren B., who has struggled to find love with Arie, needs more reassurance from him. Preoccupied with thoughts of the other two women vying for Arie’s heart and scared to have her own heart broken, the guarded blond beauty has trouble enjoying the panoramic plane tour of the Nazca Lines. Back on the ground, Lauren B. drops a bombshell. That night, Arie convinces his once skeptical date of his true feelings in an extremely emotional declaration.

A thrilled Becca K. and Arie explore the rich marine life around the Ballestas Islands, just off the southern coast Peru. The couple couldn’t seem happier. That night under the stars in a romantic tent, Becca K. opens up to Arie and reveals when she first knew she was in love with him. In return, Arie is compelled to reveal his deep feelings for Becca K., too. 
 
The next day, in one of the most dramatic twists in Bachelor history, a mystery visitor arrives ready to upset Arie’s dreams of a happily ever after. A determined man has flown all the way to Peru to win back his ex-girlfriend. A series of intense confrontations follows, casting doubt on which two women Arie will choose and who will be sent home brokenhearted. His ultimate decision will come down to the final day, hours and minutes of his journey.

The three remaining women are:
 Rebecca (Becca K.), 27, publicist, Minneapolis, Minnesota
 Kendall, 26, creative director, Los Angeles, California
 Lauren B., 25, technology salesperson, Dallas, Texas
