Ashley walks along the beach with Jesus (there are only one set of footprints in the sand and you Vacation Bible School refugees know what I'm talking about) and with Jesus' help decides that she needs to talk to her sister before Ben arrives. Ashley grabs Chrystie for some girl talk by the pool. Chrystie reminds Ashley that she just didn't feel it with J.P. and she is a much more rational person (except when it comes to getting full-sleeve tattoos apparently) and Ashley should definitely listen to her. Ashley nods that she knows her sister is rational. Chrystie adds that the problem is that Ashley wants Chrystie to like him and she just didn't. It has nothing to do with J.P., it has to do with Ashley's behavior around J.P. That's why Ashley is upset, but it's not Chrystie's fault that she's honest.
Ashley starts crying (DRIIIIIINKKK!) and tells Chrystie she is being a bitch and is not being supportive. Chrystie points out that Ashley just wants her to agree with her, to like J.P., and smile and pat Ashley on the head and tell her to go live with J.P. Ashley cries some more and complains that Chrystie isn't being supportive. Chrystie points out that being supportive doesn't mean agreeing. Then Ashley goes to whine to the camera and Chrystie goes to whine to her mom. She smartly points out that Ashley's original gut reaction was that Bentleeeeeeee was the one and now her gut reaction is that J.P. is the one and Chrystie thinks she's wacked. Chrystie may be on to something.
Finally it is Ben's turn on the Island of Misfit Family Members. He also shows up with wine or maybe champagne? He's sweating profusely, but I think it's heat, not nerves. They step into the air conditioning to meet the family and it's all very civil: How was your first date? How was your hometown date? Ben admits that his mom is like Martha Stewart, but then lies and says his mom loved Ashley. LIES. Then Ashley gets up and starts shrieking about paaaaarty and dancing and dog voice. Ashley does her dog voice and encourages Ben to do his, and since he's trying to get her family to like him, he does it. So they humiliate themselves doing "dog voice" and the family eats it up like kibble.
