Andi Dorfman and Nick Viall will have a tense and awkward confrontation in his New York hotel room during the next The Bachelor episode.

Last week's The Bachelor broadcast concluded with a cliffhanger in which Andi knocked on Nick's door when he was getting ready for the Rose Ceremony that followed the women's hometown dates, before his round of overnight Fantasy-Suite dates. When Nick opened the door, he had a completely stunned look on his face.
"Andi is the last person I ever thought I would see. The last time Andi knocked on my hotel door, she actually broke up with me," Nick tells the cameras in a preview clip released by ABC, referring to the moment Andi dumped him in the Dominican Republic during her Season 10 The Bachelorette finale.
"So what the f-ck is she doing here now?"
Nick is then shown sitting down on a sofa next to Andi with a necessary drink in hand.

"So to what do I owe this pleasure?" Nick asks Andi with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
"I really just want to see where you're at -- what you're thinking, How's it going?" a curious Andi sweetly asks.
"It's been good," Nick replies. "I just can relate to you a little bit more now."
"Ohh, really?!" Andi says, looking pleased.
"You know, it's great, but it's tough. You know how it is," Nick notes.

On Andi's After the Final Rose special, which aired in 2014, the Bachelorette was forced to speak with Nick and answer any questions he had for closure purposes.
Although Andi was engaged at this point to her Josh Murray, a heartbroken Nick flat out asked, "If you weren't in love with me, I'm just not sure why you made love with me."
Andi was shocked Nick told the world they had sex in the Fantasy Suite, and she called his public disclosure "below the belt." This exchange got the ball rolling on Nick's reputation as a villain.
In the preview clip for the February 27 episode, Andi -- who split from Murray in January 2015 -- gets something off her chest when talking to her season's runner-up with whom she seems to have a love/hate relationship.
"Do you look back, and you're like, 'Damn, I shouldn't have said, why would you make love with me if you weren't in love with me?'" she asks.

Nick seems startled by the question and -- according to the editing -- simply blurts out, "This is blowing my mind. Super weird, right?"
"It is kind of weird," the former assistant attorney agrees. "It's all full circle!"
Nick then lets out a sigh of relief and takes a sip of whiskey.
"Last time you knocked on my door, surprisingly, you broke up with me," Nick reminds Andi.
"Oh, that's true!" Andi says with a smile, as if almost pleased with herself.

"You dumped me on national television," Nick continues.
