We’re back with Zach Shallcross for tonight’s latest episode of ABC’s The Bachelor. The ladies and Zach have made their way to London and they’re all taking in the sights! The date card arrives and Gabi gets a 1-on-1 with him. Greer is shocked as she has a tea cup tattooed on her arm and wants to go to high tea. A butler takes her to meet with Zach and definitely provides all the British vibes that you could imagine. Their date involves a ride through London as they sip on champagne and get to know one another. They’re going on the ultimate royal experience by going to Floris which makes fragrances for the royals, Winston Churchill and more. They get a tour of this 300-year tradition and they will also get their own perfumes made as well. They continue to get the royal treatment with a stylist as well as a butler who has worked with the royal family. Even the Corgis from the royal bloodline make an appearance. She tries on a number of gowns that give her that queenly feeling. As the women sit and chat, Gabi comes in and she brings her bags from her royal treatment day, but she is also hopping back out to the date/. She shows all of her gifts to the women as they all ooh and aah.

The next date card arrives announcing the next portion of Gabi’s date - along with the dress that Zach picked out for her. Greer walks out and Charity goes to chat with her.

Gabi’s date continues as they go to dinner with one another and take time to get to know one another more. She becomes vulnerable with him and lets her guard down. The women are back in the hotel and Greer is still mad about not having the date that fit her personality best.

The next date card arrives for Brooklyn, Kat, Aly, Kaity, Ariel, Kylee, Jess, Mercedes and Greer. That means that Charity gets the 1-on-1 date. Mercedes leaves crying and upset that she is not on the intimate date. Back on the date, Gabi accepts the rose and feels that the experience has been so special. They are seranaded by UB40 as they dance the night away.

The girls prepare for their group date and a card arrives. He lets them know that he is feeling under the weather, but still wants them to have a good time and wants them to spend time without him. They board the double-decker bus to have a tour.

Back at the hotel. Zach says he’s jetlagged and exhausted and doesn’t want to get them sick. He hopes that he can rally and meet up with them for the cocktail party. Greer decides that since you can’t control what happens when someone is sick, you can still try and have a good time. The ladies end up having a good time considering that they didn’t want to waste the day.

The ladies dress up to catch up with him in hopes of seeing him. They are given a message from Zach that he will not be there.

The women let Charity and Gabi know about what happened and whether the other 1-on-1 date happens is a question. Jesse Palmer arrives and tells Charity that the date will not take place as he tested positive for COVID. Kaity leaves him a basket and chats with him through the door. We can all sit there and think about the obvious questions like why isn’t anyone asking about Gabi being quarantined since she was with Zach for an entire day and night or the fact that Kaity decides to talk to him through a door?

Zach decides to do a virtual cocktail party and he will also do a virtual rose ceremony. Charity is in first and gets a gift and is reassured that he wants to spend time with her and that they will have another opportunity. She definitely feels acknowledged. Zach interacts with each one so that they have time. Greer ends up having an awkward moment by comparing him having COVID while trying to find his person to when she had it when she was closing a quarter at her job as a marketer. He let her know that that wasn’t the same and she realizes that she made a mistake. She hopes that that won’t send her home.

Zach feels that the week was robbed and he wishes that he could have had the dates in person and kept things the way that he had intended for them to be. Zach and Jesse talk and they prepare for the virtual rose ceremony which feels a bit odd.

The women assemble in front of the screen and they see the roses to the side. Zach appears and lets them know his thoughts. Each woman will pick up the rose when he gives it and he fave virtual air hugs to them.
