Back at the house, the women screech and clutch each other when Blakeley's purple bag is removed from the premises.
Ben sees Blakeley off into the car -- a stray cat yowls nearby -- after a long, tearful hug. "I still care about you, though. Very much," she says. Might as well get rid of all your dignity, Blakeley! "I know," says Ben, which is even worse. In the restaurant, Rachel seems to realize the cameras are on her while she's watching through the window and casually strolls away. "Let's sum it up: I have the rose, while Blakeley doesn't," she gloats.
Now for the scene that they've been teasing all night! Chris Harrison shows up, asking them how Panama is and if they're ready for the rose ceremony. He says he stopped by for "one serious reason" and asks Casey S. to talk privately. "Chris Harrison only shows up when something strange is going on," Emily tells us. You know he's THE HOST OF THE SHOW, right? While the women in the hotel wonder what the hell is going on, Harrison takes Casey outside and says, "It was brought to my attention by three different people, back in the United States, that you're in love with somebody else, and not in love with Ben." Stone her!
He brings up her boyfriend Michael, and she corrects him to "ex-boyfriend," and Chris says they talked to Michael. "He gave us his version of y'all's relationship." He just said, "Y'all's relationship," I swear to god. Michael said they're still in a relationship and spend every day and night together. Casey looks stunned and denies it. She says their relationship was that she was in love with Michael but he didn't want to get married, so they broke up, and then got back together. "I don't know, maybe I should be in therapy or something. Maybe I need to get over that more," she says. Oh, dear. The other women are watching, at least until they realize they should be a little more discreet about it.
Harrison interrupts Casey's prattling and asks her flat-out if she's still in love with Michael. "I don't want to be. What I want is to give up hope that he'll change, because I think that's the start to moving on," she says, adding that it's "really come to [her] attention" in the last couple of days that she still is. But she doesn't want to be, if that helps!
So they decide to go have a talk with Ben. The camera crews are already there. Ben says he "wasn't expecting the both of ya." So Casey sits down with Ben and stammers that she came into this wanting to get over a guy who never wanted to marry her. Ben asks if she's still dating him, and she says she isn't, but she's not sure she's completely over him. Ben's utterly confused that his manliness hasn't gotten her over Michael. He says he wishes she'd been honest with him earlier, because he has sent home women who genuinely wanted to be here.
