Joey told the women how emotional he’d been earlier but they shook it off to pick out souvenirs, mingle with locals, and create their own versions of poutine, a Canadian comfort food with French fries as the base.

Jenn charmed Joey by creating a horrible concoction that made them laugh while Jess said in confessional that she was tired of group dates.

All the ladies danced in the street with Joey, and Kelsey A. sighed to cameras, “It felt very culty.”

At the cocktail party later, Joey took ladies aside privately to “dig deeper.”

Kelsey A. cried and told him she wanted to feel wanted. Joey reassured her that he had “zero doubts” about their connection and they kissed.

“I’m so sorry,” he said, hugging Jess after walking her to the van.

Jess sobbed to cameras, “That’s the last thing that I expected. I just feel stupid.”

“I went to live with my mom,” Kelsey T. told Joey, adding that the whole estrangement with her dad had affected her trust in men.

Joey thanked Kelsey T. for sharing, kissed her, and gave her the date rose.

During their evening dinner alone, Maria confided to Joey how she’d been with a boyfriend who had raised the idea of engagement, but hadn’t followed through with marriage.

She warned Joey that she didn’t want to be in that situation again. (She may need to talk to Lexi about Joey’s plan for a two- or three-year engagement.)

“You make me happy,” Maria told Joey.

The pair danced the night away while Canadian singer Feist performed.

He gave her the date rose, telling cameras, “I can see a future with Maria.”

Why did Lexi quit The Bachelor?

After their previous conversation, Lexi went to Joey’s hotel room and told him she’d been thinking about his plan for a long engagement.

Because of her health situation, Lexi told Joey it would be “unfair to keep me here.”

Joey was stunned but told her he understood.

They agreed she must leave and Joey told cameras he felt “crushed.”

Lexi told pals Daisy and Maria she was leaving, saying “I love you both.”
