And then she gets the rose, because it's not like you're going to deny the rose to AshLee after that. And then -- OH GOD NO NOT THE ELI YOUNG BAND, I TAKE EVERYTHING BACK, BACHELOR, YOU ARE EVIL AND THIS WORLD WILL NEVER HEAL AS LONG YOU CONTINUE TO EXIST

Cocktail party time! It's all becoming more serious! It's all becoming more real! Some people are building connections and some aren't! Some people haven't even fallen down stairs!

Sean decides to give Sarah some particular attention because she didn't get a date this week, and he takes her outside where a limousine pulls up and she freaks, thinking he's sending her home, but in reality this show has used a whole limousine to bring her damn dog Leo to see her. "I have never felt so special or felt so cared for in my entire life," says Sarah, who got less attention from Sean than pretty much everyone else in the house.

Sean now hangs out with Tierra, who is some kind of goddamn hero for making a full and total recovery from breaking her body on the stairs this morning. Lacking self-awareness even for someone on this show, Tierra complains that all her time with Sean has been interrupted, so she wants to punch some walls.

So she interrupts Sean with Desiree? I think? Amanda? Lesley M. decides to end that nonsense and interrupts Tierra, and once again I am completely baffled as to whether the Bachelor is allowed to say, "Just a minute, lady" or not. And then Jackie (there's a Jackie?) says "all of the sudden" and my confusion turns into snickers.

Kacie decides to throw water on a grease fire and apologize for the other night, because her "delivery" wasn't what she thought it should be, and she was having a hard time. "I could tell," says Sean, who acknowledges that they took a couple steps backward, but before they explore that further, they're interrupted by AshLee and one of the other women.
