"When Lauren arrives, she instantly charms everyone with her outgoing personality. She has a heart-to-heart talk with Arie's mom, breaking down and admitting how painful it would be if she lost Arie," revealed the network.
"Becca, who is normally confident, is shaken by the reality that there is another woman who wants the same thing she does: to marry Arie. Arie's family is very impressed with Becca as well. Is Arie's family right, that there is a type of woman Arie always dates but shouldn't marry? Should he listen to his head or his heart?"
Arie will then embark on final dates with both women, hoping to make the "seemingly impossible decision" between the two of them.
ABC says that Lauren will be "full of surprises" and "turn an unexpected corner" in their relationship, and that she and Arie will connect on a deeper level than ever before.
But Becca will share a "heartfelt scrapbook" of her experience on the show with Arie, and he will be reminded of all the things he loves about her. Their connection is undeniable.

ABC says viewers should expect the "most emotional, stunning endings to any Bachelor season."
