Bachelorette recap: this episode brought to you by the tourism board of the state of Virginia.

Yes, we're in Richmond. Yes, it has a very rich history. Yes, Virginia is for lovers. No need to beat it down our throats, ABC. (And shout-out to the governor of Virginia, who even made a cameo. Is it an election year??) There's also an embarrassing part where Becca does an L-O-V-E cheer for Virginia and struggles with making her body into an E. I will spare you the photo evidence.

First one-on-one date goes to Jason, and the chemistry is off the charts. Becca surprises him with his three best friends, and I think Jason may have teared up. They confirm that he is a stand-up guy, and Becca confirms he's a great kisser. They bond over family illness and he gets the rose.

Back at the hotel, ultimate chach Chris says he wouldn't mind a two-on-one, because he can take on anyone. Lincoln jumps into the fray and the boys go at it. I predict neither one is long for this Bachelorette world. To Chris's dismay, he is in fact on the group date card, leaving Samson Leo with the remaining one-on-one.

The group date is something of a disaster - a Beccalection debate in front of hundreds of "fans" (including the governor). Once again, Chris and Lincoln get into it and it's fairly embarrassing for all involved. Later that night, Lincoln tells Becca that he is afraid of Chris, hinting at violent tendencies. Of course when confronted Chris denies it, but Becca is over it. Chris tells the camera that Lincoln is a monster - he eats 12 eggs a day, so he must have super high cholesterol! (Um, what.) But the guys bounce back - Wills tells her he is falling in love and Colton gets the group date rose.

Now it's Leo's turn to shine. At some point on the date he pulls his curly mane back into a man-bun and it's BETTER. Becca is in a funk at first due to previous date drama, but Leo pulls her out of it and talks about his fear of being a disappointment to his dad. She finds his candor endearing and they shuck oysters and have a lovely dinner and he and his hair get the rose.

His return pisses off the very volatile Chris, who heads over to Becca's hotel to chat. His aggression freaks everyone out, and Becca makes the right call and sends him home. Well, she tries to - she tells him they can't get their relationship back on track, and he stares blankly and asks, "what are you saying?" Okay - you're going to make her spell it out? I guess so. He tries to refuse getting walked out, but she insists. This guy is redonk.

No cocktail party - straight to the rose ceremony - and it's bye bye Lincoln and Connor. She's got some good dudes left - glad she's already scanning the bridal mags!
