Ep 7. Week 7

The Bachelor season 22 episode 7, titled Week 7, opens with the remaining contestants preparing to head to Tuscany, Italy. Arie, the Bachelor, is excited to continue his journey to find love and hopes that this new location will help him make some hard decisions about who to send home. The episode also marks the return of Bekah M., who was sent home earlier in the season but has returned to fight for Arie's heart once again.

As the group arrives in Italy, they are immediately struck by its beautiful scenery and romantic ambiance. Arie treats the women to a private tour of the city, where they enjoy gelato, take in the sights and sounds of the local markets, and even climb to the top of a medieval castle for a breathtaking view of the Tuscan countryside.

Back at the hotel, tensions begin to rise as the women realize that time with Arie is more precious than ever. Kendall, in particular, is feeling the pressure of the competition and worries that she may not be able to express her feelings to Arie in the way that she wants to.

The first group date of the week takes place at a vineyard, where the women are asked to stomp grapes to make wine. Arie joins them, and the group has a blast as they compete to see who can make the most juice. Afterward, the women sit down to enjoy a romantic dinner with Arie, where they share stories about their past and discuss their hopes for the future. Several women use the opportunity to express their feelings to Arie, leaving him with some difficult decisions to make.

The second group date of the week is a bit more intense, as the women take part in a high-speed driving competition on a remote track. Arie is impressed by the women's competitive spirit and is particularly drawn to Tia, who he sees as a true adrenaline junkie. After the race, Arie invites Tia to join him for a private dinner, where they continue to bond over their shared interests and passions.

The final one-on-one date of the week is with Jacqueline, who has struggled to open up to Arie in the past. They spend the day exploring the local countryside, taking in the stunning views and enjoying each other's company. As the sun sets, they sit down for a romantic dinner, where Jacqueline finally opens up about her fears and insecurities. Arie is touched by her vulnerability and begins to see her in a new light.

As the episode comes to a close, Arie is forced to make some tough decisions about who to send home. Several women make a strong impression on him during their dates, and he is left wondering who he should keep around for another week. As the rose ceremony begins, tensions are high as the women wait to find out who will be going home and who will continue on the journey for Arie's heart.
