‘The Bachelorette’ recap: Hannah tells Luke ‘I don’t owe you anything’

Bachelor Nation, it’s finally come: It’s fantasy-suites week, and Hannah and Luke are set for a dramatic confrontation about sex. Have the teasers lied to us? Is he sticking around? And what’s the deal with that windmill?

Let’s find out.

We head to Crete, Greece, and just like in last week’s hometown-visits episode, Peter the pilot is up first. The pair go out on the Aegean Sea – though all we really care about is if he’s going to tell her he loves her. The clock is tick-tick-ticking! He tells her she has no idea how much he likes her, but Hannah notes there’s something holding him back.

Later, he tells her he’d been nervous all day. He references their hometown date flight: “Flying with you was like a whole new experience that I had never had.” That’s a lot coming from someone who flies for a living!

But what really sends his heart soaring? That Hannah makes him comfortable to be his true self. He tells her he loves her, and we can’t stop beaming along with him.

With the fantasy suite card in hand, the two head to the aforementioned windmill (the bed is in a loft-like area). Hannah opens a chest and discovers a condom, much like the one she found in Peter’s car last week – though he insists it wasn’t him this time!

The next day, Peter says “we can for sure agree that we took our relationship to the next level.”

Why Tyler’s fantasy suite isn’t sexy

Tyler and Hannah’s physical relationship has been well established, and the heat hardly gets a chance to temper when they head to a spa and Tyler takes over massaging duties.

But Hannah wants to make sure their emotional communication catches up to their sexual kind. 

She doesn’t want to go into the fantasy suite and have sex, because that’s not what she feels the relationship needs. “It would be very easy for me to want to do that,” she tells him. “I think we have to explore just being together and continue our emotional connection and have that time. That’s what we need in a fantasy suite.”

What Tyler says next proves why he’s been worth keeping around: “I want you to be 100% comfortable and confident in whatever we do together,” he says. He has no interest in pressuring her. A man with dignity!

The fantasy suite is on a houseboat, and the next morning she says: “He was the most respectful man that’s ever been with me. Ever.” She grows emotional when he leaves; these final roses are going to be thornier than ever.

Jed cranks up the vulnerability

Hannah and Jed spend time with a Greek family, but Hannah quickly gets pestered about her relationships. This isn’t a great time. considering Jed’s perception about not feeling like he got a rose last week, since it came down to him and Luke.

He pulls her aside to chat about Luke. She opens up about their strong connection and says she’s still trying to figure it out, but does think he’s a good guy. Ugh.

Later, Hannah says she appreciates the conversation and knows Jed was coming from a good place.

But Jed isn’t totally on board. “It kind of says a lot about your decisions when you can look at me and tell me that you’re falling in love with me, but then also keep around somebody who’s been toxic to this process for you and everyone else.” Thank you, Jed, for saying what we’ve been screaming at our TVs for weeks.

Hannah presses him about his feelings, though she may have wished she hadn’t. He’s worried, and retracts how he feels. Yikes.

She trusts his opinions, but wants him to trust her too.

Frustrated about having to explain her feelings for Luke (again), she walks away and says, “I do not want to do this anymore.”

Jed comes around and says he does trust her decisions. They opt for the fantasy suite,  and Hannah says her soul is invested in their relationship.

He mentions they didn’t sleep a wink. So much for those dramatic confrontations.

Let’s talk about sex, Luke

Hannah takes Luke to Santorini on a helicopter. Peter is going to be m-a-d when he finds out!

Luke impresses her during their day together, and he tells her he sees his future wife when looking in her eyes.

At night, Luke wants to talk about sex. He says it’s incredible and beautiful – but only within the guidelines of marriage. Luke acknowledges that neither of them are virgins, but that he has been abstaining from sex the last several years in an effort to save himself for marriage. He’s confident they’re on the same page morally, but wants to make sure she’s not being sexually intimate in her other relationships.

Is your blood boiling yet? Get ready.

“If you told me you’re having sex or you had sex with one or multiple of these guys, I’d be wanting to go home, 100%,” he says.

Hannah is not digging the language he’s using. She tells him that sex may be a sin out of marriage, but so is pride, and she feels this is a pride thing for him. Luke tries to manipulate the situation (yet again) to get out of what he’s already said but Hannah isn’t having it.

She says that he’s told her he loves her, but how can he if it’s contingent on what’s morally acceptable for his future wife? “You don’t own me. You don’t get to decide what i can and can’t do.”

She finally sees how he hasn’t shown respect to any of his fellow contestants, not to mention  her (or even himself).  The pouring rain is a great soundtrack for this mess.

Hannah makes her choice 

Hannah says she’s prayed so much for clarity, and now she finally has it. “I do not want you to be my husband,” she tells Luke. We have happy tears in our eyes.

He’s stunned when she tells him he’s been eliminated from the competition, but he’s not getting up from his seat. He starts to say he feels like she owes him at least a minute to share something, but she buckles down: “I don’t owe you anything at this point.”

She says she’s had sex and Jesus still loves her. “From obviously how you feel, me (expletive) in a windmill … you probably want to leave,” Hannah tells him, not mincing words. To the camera: “I didn’t just go to the fantasy suite. I (expletive) in a windmill. And guess what? We did it a second time.” Have we had a more wild admission in recent “Bachelor” franchise memory? We don’t think so!

Luke asks if he can pray for her before he leaves. She says no. and holds up her middle finger to the car as it drives away.

It doesn’t look like we’re quite done with Luke: He’s back in the preview for next week’s episode, though here’s hoping his pleas go unanswered once and for all so we can watch in peace.
