Bachelor Jason Mesnick told Ty goodbye and heads off to the home towns of the four remaining ladies. There was a ten minute long summary of why Jason likes all the girls, and what his concerns are.
On to Kelowna, British Colombia to meet up with Jillian and her family. After she showed him around a winery, they sat by a fireplace for some drinking and intimate chatting. Jillian revealed that her mother battled depression for fifteen years and at one time attempted suicide. Jason looked completely touched and teary throughout the confession, and expressed excitement to find out why she is the “rock” that she is.
After dinner, Jillian’s mom took Jason outside for a “chat.” She was very impressed with his caring spirit, depth and character. While talking privately to the camera, her dad cried at what Jillian means to him. Later her Grandma made a grand entrance and was welcomed by a very jubilant Jill. After a very merry evening, Jason left- but not without much kissing. He is obviously VERY into her, and it would be difficult at this point to imagine him telling her goodbye yet. He even told the camera he can’t imagine another home town date going that well.
Next was Molly‘s home in Grand Rapids, Michigan. They hung out at the Country Club and she shared that her parents hated the guy she was with for three years. They went to her parents’ home and talked about the unified love of golfing. Her mom, Maryann, then brought out costume head pieces and Jason was totally in on the fun. Then she took him in another room to draw a picture of his favorite moment of her face- this lady’s a little weird. Jason once again embraced the madness and did his best to draw her smiling at a rose ceremony, but she ended up just looking like the Joker. Everyone got a good laugh, but then it was time for him to leave. He said the date couldn’t have gone any better, but they sure edited it to make it seem like it wasn’t that great.
Next, Jason headed to Cali to meet up with Naomi where they sipped mimosas and talked about how the last rose ceremony made her feel. Upon meeting her family, Naomi’s mom urged Jason to be “one with the hula hoop” and after many tries, we could see it wasn’t his favorite activity. Then after she told the story of how she hit a dove (“Rosie”) in her car, she brought the dead bird out of a brown paper bag and asked Jason to speak a eulogy over it. Um, ok? At the bird funeral, her mom said there was no such thing as death. It was just getting weirder.
