Labeled "never been kissed" by ABC at the time, Heather -- who did eventually kiss Colton during a one-on-one date -- quit The Bachelor process before hometown dates because she said she wasn't ready to take the step of introducing Colton to her parents and family.

However, Heather must feel ready now to get engaged and settle down given she decided to look for love again on Matt's season.

ABC executive Rob Mills touched upon Heather's surprise entrance during a January episode of "The Bachelor Recap" podcast.

"She felt for sure this was her husband and basically did anything she could to get there and track him down," Rob revealed to co-host Julia Cunningham of Heather.

In a promo ABC recently aired of the upcoming The Bachelor episode airing Monday night, host Chris Harrison greets Heather at The Bachelor resort in Pennsylvania.

"Heather, what are you doing here? You could honestly destroy this whole thing for Matt," Chris says in the preview.
