Then Harrison talks about how he noticed a lot of emotion while they were watching it, and Courtney talks about how it was a nice reminder of the happiest day of her life, while Ben says "It's hard. In that moment, you're so happy, and then everything plays out the way it did, and it's like we said when we were going through it, it's going to be the two of us." Plus all those women you weren't kissing, right? He does appear to be welling up, and says that beautiful moment has been soiled. Harrison asks if they'd say the same things to each other today, and they both say yes.
And now Harrison says that most of the time when they do this show, the happy couple comes out and the ring is on her finger (shot of Courtney's hand, where there is no ring), and he neglects to mention the way the happy couples are always broken up a couple of months after the season ends, and then Harrison whips out the ring from his pocket and dares Ben to put it on Courtney again, which he does, and the audience applauds because they're happy that the evil Courtney is now no longer causing Ben to stick his tongue down other women's throats.
Harrison asks if there will be a wedding, and Ben and Courtney are essentially all, "Sure, what the fuck, we have just another fifteen minutes to lie to people tonight." Harrison wishes them the very best.
And then Harrison warns that, as usual when the After the Final Rose airs and it completely exposes what a waste of time the whole thing is, they're going to trot out a couple that doesn't currently want to stab each other to death, which in this case is Ashley and J.P., whoever they are.
So then these people come out and hug Chris Harrison, while the people in the audience smile and applaud appropriately. Ashley talks about the déjà vu she's experiencing, and then Harrison is asking for her take on what Ben and Courtney are going through, and Ashley starts talking about how after she was on, people called her "ugly" and "stupid" and Harrison is all, "Yeah, thanks for talking about yourself but how about BEN AND COURTNEY," and Ashley talks about how they have to be there for each other. Something useless like that. J.P. calls Ben "one of the good guys," and both he and Ashley think the worst is over. Harrison asks J.P. what it's like to watch "the woman you love get drug [sic] through the mud."
