Rachel finally got a one-on-one date with Joey in Spain, and conversation flowed between the couple as they learned a flamenco dance and had to perform it in front of a group of strangers.
During the dinner portion of their date, Rachel explained to Joey how her nursing career affects her emotionally and that sometimes, after seeing traumatic injuries or people pass away, she takes that grief and stress home with her.
Joey said he admired the fact Rachel loves helping people, and he realized that he would need to be a supportive and understanding partner for her.
"Being with Joey makes me feel safe, and I felt that comfort. You need a partner who is going to support you through everything... [I'm] enjoying letting a man listen to me," Rachel, who typically struggles to open up to men in relationships, told The Bachelor cameras.
Joey ended up giving Rachel a rose, and then she also survived the week in Montreal, Canada.
