Overwhelmed by having just sent Caelynn Miller-Keyes home and nervously anticipating the Fantasy Suites that lie ahead, the virgin Bachelor will head to the Algarve region of Portugal.
"It will be a trip full of major surprises, high anticipation and extreme anxiety, after vowing to save himself for the woman he loves," teases ABC.
Colton and Tayshia will take a breathtaking helicopter ride to Cape St. Vincent, once considered to be the edge of the earth.

Colton will confess his feelings for Tayshia, but will they make it to the Fantasy Suite -- and what will happen behind closed doors if they do?
"Or will Cassie have the opportunity to be his first? Cassie is still apprehensive about taking the next step with Colton, and he reveals to her the unsettling conversation he had with her father during their hometown date," according to ABC.
"Then all hell breaks loose when their date is interrupted by a bombshell surprise no one saw coming."
ABC says "a stunning twist" -- a first in The Bachelor history -- will cause Colton to have a breakdown, leaving everyone speechless and confused.

Colton's decisions from that point on will not only affect his own journey to find love, but everyone else's.
Colton has been fearful of rejection at the end of the process since Night 1, and it just may happen.
Cassie Randolph's dad Matt Randolph pays her a surprise visit
According to Reality Steve spoiler blogger Steve Carbone, Cassie's father Matt Randolph will play a huge role in the dramatic turn of events, as he has major influence on his daughter's life and choices.When Colton visited Cassie's hometown in Huntington Beach, CA, Matt asked his daughter to think things through and not make any hasty decisions.
Matt told Cassie that at 23 years old, she has her entire life ahead of her and so it makes no sense to rush into anything unless she could do so with 100 percent certainty, trust and confidence.

Cassie left her hometown date feeling confused and worried she may not be ready to get engaged to Colton, and viewers weren't sure whether it was because she lacked feelings for him or just didn't feel prepared to take that next step in life.
Cassie was therefore the only one of Colton's Final 4 bachelorettes to not express how she was in love -- or at least falling in love -- with The Bachelor star.

Carbone reports Colton will enjoy an overnight Fantasy Suite date with Tayshia in Portugal but nothing physical, other than kissing, happens between them.
"She mentioned that they just spent the night talking, but Tayshia admits that she's nervous for the next Rose Ceremony because she didn't think Colton was all there mentally," Carbone wrote.
Matt then reportedly flies to Portugal and makes an appearance between the day and night portion of Colton's subsequent date with Cassie.
"Her dad just reiterates what we heard him say last [episode]. The stuff how marriage is a huge step, she's 23, he doesn't think she's ready, she seems hesitant, etc," Carbone wrote.
Cassie decides to quit the show
After their talk, Cassie wishes she had more time with Colton on the show and determines she must send herself home that night -- as long as she can muster up enough courage to do so.Meanwhile, Colton confesses to the cameras he is "in love with Cassie" and wants to hear her say the same words.
He also reportedly plans to lose his virginity that night to Cassie.

During the night portion of their date, Carbone says Cassie will share the details of her conversation with her father when sitting down with Colton and the rest of the episode will focus on this couple.
"So looks like Tayshia will get the first 30-40 minutes of the episode with her overnight, then it's all Cassie/Colton from there on... A lot of the footage is this back and forth between Colton and Cassie and the cameras just kept rolling," Carbone wrote.
During Cassie and Colton's chat, Cassie will express doubt in their relationship because her father did not give Colton permission to propose marriage.
"Cassie starts to wonder if he's the right person for her if her family isn't sold," Carbone wrote.
The conversation reportedly gets tense and Cassie admits to Colton she "loves him" but is not "in love" with him -- yet.
Cassie then reportedly talks to a producer and second guesses leaving the show because she didn't expect dumping Colton to be so hard.
"There's a lot of hugging and crying between the two, and I was told it's basically just Colton pleading for her to stay the whole time and Cassie not knowing what to do," Carbone wrote.
"He says he'll be patient with her and she tells him she doesn't know if she can get there. Colton tells her he doesn't want her to make a decision now, and that it's not easy going on other dates when all he can think about is her."

Cassie reportedly expresses guilty over the prospect Colton may leave The Bachelor without an engagement and everything he came on the show for, but Colton says if it's not with the person he feels strongest about, then it's not something worth doing or having.
"She tells him she wants him to have what he wants [an engagement]. She says she loves him but she's not in love with him, and she's having her doubts and doesn't know why she's so confused," Carbone shared.
Colton, however, doesn't give up and allegedly remains focus on the girl of his choice.

"Colton specifically does tell her, 'I want it to be you at the end of this, engaged or not,'" Carbone claimed.
After Cassie mentions two other women are still in the running for his heart, Colton tells her, "I f-cking love you."
Cassie reportedly replies, "I can't do this," and then that's how things end between them.
Cassie essentially told Colton she's not ready to get engaged and so continuing on with the process wouldn't be fair to him. She therefore quits the show and leaves Colton heartbroken.
Colton allegedly walks Cassie out while kissing and hugging her, and then she cries in the car as she drives off.

And this is when Colton has his meltdown and attempts to quit The Bachelor, according to Carbone.
Colton jumps a fence and runs off
"Colton goes back up to his room [for his wallet], closes the door behind him, cameras are still rolling... comes back out of the room, takes his mic off, pushes the cameras out of the way, and says he's done," Carbone revealed."THIS is where the fence jump happens, we see the shot of Chris Harrison say, 'Holy f-ck, he's gone...' and that's where next week's episode ends [on a cliffhanger]."
The fence jump will serve as a teaser heading into the finale, and fans will be left wondering whether Colton truly quit the show or settled for another girl -- and what happened with Cassie.
"Colton will then gather himself the next day and speak with both Hannah G. and Tayshia separately and dump them, and ultimately he's with Cassie, but they are not engaged," Carbone revealed.
Colton therefore never enjoys an overnight Fantasy Suite date with Hannah G., as he ended the process prematurely.

Colton chases Cassie down in California
Carbone reports Cassie returned home to California after leaving the show -- and then Colton also traveled back to America and basically chased Cassie down.The Bachelor's production crew reportedly filmed Colton tracking Cassie down in the Los Angeles area and telling her that he'd still like to be with her regardless of whether they get engaged.

Colton's desperate plea resulted in the couple choosing to continue dating together and taking an engagement off the table since Cassie is only 23 years old.
"Colton comes to Cassie and basically says, 'We don't need to be engaged, but I want to be with you.' And that's where we are for right now," Carbone insisted.
"They are definitely seeing each other, and have been seeing each other since the end of filming."

Colton and Cassie will apparently update fans on the status of their relationship live on The Bachelor: After the Final Rose airs on ABC.
"My guess is Cassie is very young, and her feeling of, back in November, telling Colton, 'I'm not ready to be engaged,' [is] probably still going to stand in March. But that's just a guess. We'll see what happens," Carbone predicted.
However, Cassie appeared to play up the rumors and spoilers about her relationship with Colton in a recent Instagram post.
Cassie posted a photo of herself flipping a tire on a previous group date in which the girls had participated in a "Bachelor's Strongest Woman" contest.
