The pair then head to Mikaela's house, where Chris meets her father, step-father, mother, sister, and brother. Although Mikaela's family asks Chris some tough questions, they are happy with his answers and are accepting of him.

Hometown Date Two: Catie. Catie brings Chris to Toronto, where they meet in a downtown coffee shop and she confesses that she has fallen in love with him. Catie also tells him that she believes he is her soulmate - he matches a description she wrote of her ideal husband in an old journal, and a medium once predicted that her future husband's name would be Chris. Chris is unsettled both by the story and the fact that Catie is even more intense than usual. The two then go to Catie's house, where Chris meets her father, mother, brother, and sister-in-law, who immediately take a liking to Chris.

Hometown Date Three: Lyndsey. Lyndsey first brings Chris to meet her grandfather at his farm in Duncan, BC.

Chris admits in a solo interview that he loves her too and that he is planning on asking her family for permission to marry her. The pair then head to Lyndsey's house on Lake Cowichan, where he meets her father, mother, and two sisters. Her family is immediately hostile to Chris, unsettled by the large age gap between him and Lyndsey and afraid that he will not move to the West Coast if they end up together. Due to the tension during the hometown, Chris does not ask Lyndsey's family for permission to marry her.

Rose Ceremony: Catie does not receive a rose and is eliminated.

Week 9: Finale Part 1

Original airdate: December 6, 2017

Overnight Date One: Mikaela. Chris and Mikaela take a ride on a pirate ship in Cancun, Mexico. While on board, Mikaela tells Chris that she is ready for a proposal, but Chris seems unsure. Later, during an oceanfront dinner, Mikaela tells Chris that his confused behaviour earlier in the day made her question how secure their relationship is. Chris admits that he has not been as forthcoming with her as he should have been, and confesses that he is falling in love with her. The two dance to mariachi music on the beach before spending the night in the Fantasy Suite together.

Overnight Date Two: Lyndsey. Chris meets Lyndsey at a Mayan clay spa, where they give each other a mud treatment and participate in a Mayan purification ceremony.

Chris tells Lyndsey that he would consider moving to the West Coast in order to be with her. The couple spend the night in the Fantasy Suite together.

Meeting the Parents: Both bachelorettes get a chance to meet Chris' parents at the villa they are staying at in Mexico. Mikaela goes first, and is well-received by both parents, with Chris' mother noting that Mikaela's communication skills would help Chris open up and be more comfortable expressing his feelings. Chris' parents express more hesitance upon meeting Lyndsey, due to the large age gap and the fact that Chris may move across the country to be with her.

First One-on-one: Lyndsey. Chris and Lyndsey take a bike ride before spending time by the beach in Tulum. During their date, Chris admits to Lyndsey that after spending time with his parents last week, he realized how important being close to them is, and he is now less willing to move to the West Coast. This causes Lyndsey to begin to doubt the future of their relationship, since for her, living on the West Coast is non-negotiable.

Second One-on-one: Mikaela. Chris and Mikaela meet up for drinks poolside, where Mikaela expresses doubts in their relationship and concern about the strength of Chris' relationship with Lyndsey. Just as Chris begins to successfully reassure Mikaela that everything is fine and that their relationship is just as strong, he accidentally calls her Lyndsey, causing her to leave their date in tears.

Final Rose: Chris awaits the women on the beach in Tulum. Lyndsey arrives first and tells Chris she has realized that there are too many obstacles preventing their relationship from working.

After the Final Rose: Lyndsey and Chris meet for the first time since their breakup to discuss what happened. Then Mikaela and Chris appear together publicly for the first time, admitting that while they are still in each other's lives, they are no longer together romantically.
