While the next two episodes will certainly have their fair share of emotions and drama, Zach teased that the Fantasy Suites are what fans need to brace themselves for.
"I'll just say after Women Tell All, overnight week -- Fantasy Suite week -- it gets, I don't want to use the word 'juicy,' but it gets... juicy," Zach teased during the March 7 episode of the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast co-hosted by Becca Kufrin and Michelle Young.

Zach joked about how he probably shouldn't have described the Fantasy Suites as "juicy."
But he continued on a serious note, "It does not necessarily go the way, I think, we all thought it would."
Zach went on to admit, "That's the one [episode] I'm nervous about. Mom, don't watch."
Zach's Final 4 bachelorettes are Ariel Frenkel, Charity Lawson, Gabi Elnicki, and Kaity Biggar.
Zach is expected to send a woman home at the Rose Ceremony following hometown dates, and then he and his Final 3 bachelorettes will be shown traveling to a new country for the overnight dates.

Based on a preview of Zach's overnight dates that aired at the end of The Bachelor's March 6 episode, it appears the cast filmed Fantasy-Suite week in Thailand.
"This week is viewed as 'sex week,'" Zach says in the preview clip.
Zach proceeds to tell The Bachelor host Jesse Palmer, "I know it's not conventional, but no sex."
However, one bachelorette can be heard saying, "Zach and I are going to have a really sexy time."
And then Zach admits, "I really f-cked it up."

Kaity is shown crying and Gabi laments, "I don't know what is going to happen."

In a different preview that aired last month, Zach seems hell-bent on his decision to refrain from sex in the Fantasy Suites, "as against the grain as it may seem."
But Jesse warns Zach, "You are going to be tempted."
After a woman can be heard giggling, Zach explains to the cameras, "This was a moment of love, not lust. I could lose one of the women from this."

Zach concludes in a teary-eyed confessional, "That was a beautiful moment. It feels robbed."
Zach already had one overnight date with Kaity, which took place at the beginning of The Bachelor season. The couple had slept inside of a tent within a museum during their first one-on-one date.
Kaity opened up about what exactly happened with Zach behind the scenes that evening during her March 2 appearance on the "Click Bait with Bachelor Nation" podcast.
While Kaity revealed that she and Zach had pushed their twin beds together, she confirmed, "Nothing happened for those who think something happened."
Kaity clarified how she had received no sleep that night -- but just because of her environment.
"I'm really bad at sleeping. I usually have a white-noise machine and all this stuff," Kaity admitted.
"So sleeping in that tent wasn't it. It wasn't the play for me. You could hear construction off in the distance and Zach was kind of snoring a little bit."

Kaity also laughed about how Zach had cut their conversation short so he could get some sleep.
While Kaity insisted the other women had been "amazing" and "supportive" after her intimate solo date with Zach, the traveling nurse who currently resides in Austin, TX, conceded, "But yeah, I think there may have been a level of jealousy, like, they wanted a date like that."
