Preview
There’s plenty of drama in store for tonight’s episode. The teaser for tonight’s episode hints at an argument between Hannah and Luke Parker, who has played the role of “villain” all throughout the season. The latter criticizes Hannah for choosing to have sex with some of the other contestants on their overnight dates, and she responds by saying that he has not right to talk her how to act or what to do.
Elsewhere, Hannah hits an emotional snag when she meets Jed Wyatt’s family. She sits down with Jed’s mother and asks whether she thinks he would be ready for marriage. Much to her surprise, Jed’s mother says no, explaining that “his path is different.” During a confessional interview, Hannah admits that the exchange “definitely set off a few alarms in [her] head.”
Hannah has a more much positive experience with Tyler Cameron. The latter chooses to bring her to his childhood home, which means a lot to her. She also talks with a member of Tyler’s family, who tells her that he thinks Tyler “might be in love.”
