The finale focused on the final dream dates of the couples. It was clear that Valerie and Andy's dates did not go well, but the other 4 went very well.
The girls were all nervous about being reunited with their boyfriends. The boys met with Mark who explained that tonight would be the opportunity to speak what's in their heart to their partners. He told them to be prepared to hear something they may not want to hear. The girls were told the same thing.

That evening, Mark interviewed each of the 6 about what they had learned and what they planned to do.

Andy: felt nervous, more challenging than he anticipated but connected emotionally with Meaghan. It hurt him that she was hurt. He was confident that he & Shannon would disclose everything to each other.

Shannon: best part was hanging out with the guys after the bonfire episodes. She and Tom have the same feelings for each other and have an extraordinary bond. She said she was hoping she won't have to miss Tom and feels Tom and her story is an important one for her to maintain.

Together: Andy confessed to Shannon that he kissed 4 girls but all were innocent pecks. He told her about Meaghan, and his date with Elisabeth. He felt the experience had reinforced their relationship and he felt the same. Shannon told him she never anticipated the roller coaster ride. She was reminded of a time when Andy dated other girls and how it wrecked her for a long time. She told him about her date with Tom, but said Andy has her heart and sole. They both said they want to go home and hugged and kissed passionately.

Billy: best thing was the emotional attraction to Vanessa. Most painful was what Mandy was doing. He said he would not watch another video clip if given the chance. What Mandy has to say will 100% affect his decision.

Mandy: best part was the dream date because she learned the most about herself. She felt like she had found many answers in the past week and a half. She was drawn to Jon because of his shyness and intelligence. She had the best time of her life with Jon.

Together: Mandy told Billy about watching the video of him strip dancing and how she saw something in him she had never seen before because she felt he hid it from her. She said she has learned to let go of him and had an intimate moment with someone, but it wasn't him. She wants them to be together for the rest of their lives and doesn't want to play this game again. Billy - said he made a connection with someone that was very emotional with a lot of the same views in life. He said it was nothing like what they shared and if she'll have him, he promises to love her forever.

Kaya: said he felt really really great. He chose Allison for his final date because he didn't give her a real chance on the first date. He felt it was strange that he had similar feelings for both Meaghan and Allison, and didn't think it was possible.

Valerie: best part was everything that she learned about herself. Her fear was how Kaya will feel after this experience and if he did do something, and felt regret he could live with it, but worse fear is that he feels he shouldn't be in a relationship right now.

Together: Val said the experience made her realize what she wanted. She said that she saw him on his first date and it shook her. She chose not to act on it. She read him something she wrote which said she drives her exhilaration by her relationship with him and he's the one she wants to be with. Kaya said that he learned a lot about himself from the experience. He took emotional chances and has no regrets about anything he did there. There were 2 connections he made but Val never left, she makes him who he is and she makes him a better man. He said he loves her and she's his choice.

The show ended with an update on each couple. Billy moved to LA to pursue a career while Mandy stayed in Atlanta. They are continuing a relationship long distance. Kaya and Valerie also moved to LA and are very much in love. Andy asked Shannon to marry him 10 minutes after bonfire and she said yes. A date is yet to be set.
