“You just shot me!”
“This is fake!
The bottom of the barrel, worst syrup you could buy.”

Nothing that a maple purist like Gabi could ever endorse, although she ultimately forgives Zach for his transgression.
The pair then head to meet her family.
“I did fall in love in this process,” Zach says.

It all goes downhill, however, when Bobby asks Zach how he plans to reconcile their different backgrounds.
Then, Bobby throws down the gauntlet: “When’s my sister’s birthday?”

Like, do you know my sister’s middle name?"
Zach sidesteps the question.
“I would disagree with you on that,” he says.

Bigger picture is really what I’m focusing on and doing what feels right."
It’s not all bad news bears, though.
It’s also a very emotional lunch.

Charity ends up crying during nearly every conversation she has with her dad, mom, and close friends.
She also shares a really lovely moment with her brother Nehemiah, who worries about her getting hurt.
“I love you so much,” he says.

“I can 1000 percent see myself engaged to Zach.”
They compare their favorite cereals while grocery shopping, grab some flowers, and head to her house.
They then take their relationship to the next level… by building a bookshelf.
A difficult goodbye between Zach and Charity.ABC
“Did you just bring me to fix things in your house?”
He jokes as they change lightbulbs and lug in a new mattress.
She replies, “Maybe.”
Let it out, Zach.ABC
Back in Los Angeles, Zach is panicking ahead of the rose ceremony whenSean Lowestops by for a visit.
“I can see a future with all four of these women,” he says.
The pair sit down at yet another tiny bench as Charity begins to cry.
I’ve been sick to my stomach all day," he explains.
Don’t say that."
“I knew that this experience was going to be something incredible.
It’s bittersweet for sure.”
“I’m grateful to know you.”
Thatwas a bridge too far for you, Zach?
Not themustard on pancakes!
?But I digress.
