The Bachelor: Episode 1306

Jason travels across the country to visit the final four women's hometowns. First, at Jillian's in Kelowna, British Columbia, Jillian reveals that her mother suffered from depression. Her family welcomes him with open arms, but the real test occurs when Jillian's grandmother pays a surprise visit. On his next stop, Molly treats Jason to a few rounds of golf on her favorite course in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and a romantic picnic. She is adamant that she won't get involved with a man without her parents' approval and prepares him to meet her conservative sister, dad and quirky mom. Then Jason finds himself in Lake Elsinore, California, giving a eulogy at the funeral of a dove, as directed by Naomi's mother. The humiliated Naomi can only look on, and when the dust settles, her father expresses his concerns about Jason. Then her mother corners Jason to discuss past lives and spirituality. Jason's final hometown visit takes him to Dallas. After an intimate picnic by a lake, Melissa drops a bomb: Jason won't be meeting her parents. He is crushed but meets her best friends instead two married couples. At dinner, her friends share the failure of Melissa's past relationships, citing the wrong men they feel she has dated. At the rose ceremony, Jason decides to send home Naomi, giving roses to Molly, Jillian, and Melissa. He tells the three remaining ladies that he is taking them on overnight dates to New Zealand.
