Brief interlude back at the house, where a date card arrives for Kasey: “Love defies gravity,” it says.
And then it’s back to dinner, where Chris, worried that he’s not as suave as guys like Michael in his jeans and T-shirt, pulls Desiree aside to take her up on the roof and goggle at her awkwardly while they talk about making a connection. And afterwards, he feels more comfortable and he thinks he might get the rose.
And then Brooks shows up, still in his dodgeball clothes, and tells us the people at the hospital pushed really hard to get him done quickly so he could get back there because who knows how much time he’ll get the rest of the week with Desiree? Oh, that was definitely on the minds of everyone there. He sits down with Desiree and they start making out within about five seconds, which made it all the more hilarious when Desiree tells us, “I just love my conversations with Brooks. He just brings out the best in me.”
And then Desiree surprises me by giving the rose to Chris, and that means they get a private concert together from someone named Kate Earl. One of her songs starts out, “Never knew what I was signing up for,” which sounds about right. The concert goes on for several minutes, and it feels like half-an-hour, but I presume there was some sort of contractual obligation as to how much screen time Ms. Earl was to get.
The morning, Desiree is journaling or whatever and talking about how she’d be lucky to have any one of these guys, when hark! Her cellphone rings, and it’s Chris Harrison, telling her that he has some “bizarre news” about one of her guys, and we don’t hear what it is, even though they’ve been teasing this non-stop, and then Desiree says, “so selfish” and Harrison says, “I don’t want him to get away with this.” He tells her she should go to the house and “have a conversation.” To the Bachelorettemobile!
