Caelynn takes off for a date on the slopes snowboarding with Colton. A fun day evolves into an emotional discussion once he starts to question her intentions.

Everything seems perfect, but Colton fears something is missing. Is there a rose for a woman who has been a frontrunner from the start?

 A comfy rest stop in the mountains is the backdrop for more drama with the remaining four women. Colton must judge the sincerity of these women in order to move forward. Suddenly, a surprise visitor crashes the party to deliver important news that may affect the fate of the women.  Will that help Colton make his most important decision yet?

He sends Hannah home and at that point he's done with the show. Then ends up going after Cassie. I also think that after his FS date with Cassie he is no longer a virgin. jmo

I actually think cassie leaves during the night portion of their FS...maybe when he gives the card to her form chris harrison then she might freak out thinking about how he is going to spend overnights with tayshia and hannah g so she takes off? which is in the preview her in that silver dress walking away saying i thought it was going to work out? then a pic of her in the limo crying??  then this is when colton does the fence jump??
