The Bachelorette Season 21 Episode 7 Recap: A Look Into The Key Highlights

As a devoted fan of The Bachelorette, I must say that this season has been nothing short of exhilarating! Watching Jenn Tran navigate her journey to find love across the country has been both captivating and heartwarming.


Season 21 of The Bachelorette served up all the excitement, feelings, and surprises we’ve been anticipating. Currently, Jenn Tran is whittling down her suitors to just four. As we move into hometown week, last night’s episode 7 showed Jenn traveling to Texas, California, Washington, and Connecticut to meet each man’s family: Devin Strader, Jeremy Simon, Jonathon Johnson, and Marcus Shoberg.

According to ABC, “Jenn’s journey becomes more challenging as she moves around the country to encounter the families of her last three suitors. With just three roses remaining to give away, this choice could prove to be her toughest yet – let’s see if she chooses wisely.”

The story kicks off as Jenn travels to Houston, Texas, which is Devin’s hometown, to encounter his parents for the first time. In a park, Devin catches Jenn off guard with an extended run, joined by some of his running club buddies. Here, Jenn gets the chance to talk with Devin’s friends, who all express approval. Not only that, but she also encounters Charlie, Devin’s cherished pet dog.

1. Following their time at the park, Jenn encounters Devin’s family where she deepens her relationship with them. Meanwhile, Devin consults his parents regarding expressing his affection for Jenn, and they encourage him to openly share his emotions without hesitation.

Following their talks, it eventually comes out that Devin expresses his affection for Jenn. Jenn acknowledges her fondness for him but isn’t quite prepared to return the same level of love just yet. Nevertheless, she hints at the possibility of developing feelings for him more deeply in the near future.

Following this, Jenn journeys to Fairfield, Connecticut, where Jeremy grew up, to encounter his parents. Their rendezvous initiates with a fun-filled supermarket excursion. After their shopping spree, Jenn gets introduced to Jeremy’s family; however, Jeremy’s mother exhibits a hint of doubt regarding the situation, questioning whether Jeremy is indeed the one Jenn is searching for.

In addition, Jenn has an awkward discussion with Jeremy’s sibling, during which the sister expresses her concern that Jeremy may not yet be prepared for an engagement due to signs suggesting he might be hesitant or reserved.

In another conversation, Jenn talks to Jeremy’s mother to gauge if she believes Jeremy is prepared for an engagement. His mother expresses uncertainty, stating she hasn’t had much interaction with Jenn and isn’t well-acquainted with their relationship dynamic. Jenn experiences a sense of letdown, sensing that Jeremy’s mom may not be optimistic about their romantic prospects. Yet, before parting ways, Jeremy shares his feelings of falling in love with Jenn. In contrast, Jenn expresses her own indecision regarding the future course of action.

Following our previous engagement, I find myself jetting off to sunny San Diego, California – a place close to my friend Jonathan’s heart, being his hometown. In true lifestyle expert fashion, I opt for a unique dating experience by embracing the local culture and joining Jonathan for a lacrosse date. This activity not only offers an exciting way to spend time together but also provides us with ample opportunities to strengthen our bond.

Following their date, Jenn gets acquainted with Jonathan’s family. At first, Jonathan’s brother and sister-in-law express reservations about Jenn and Jonathan’s relationship, largely due to other men being in the picture. Nevertheless, Jenn manages to earn their approval over time. The visit concludes with Jonathan expressing his affection for Jenn.

On her latest trip, Jenn travels to Tacoma, Washington to encounter Marcus’s family. Although his biological parents aren’t around, his sibling, several friends, and important male figures are there to greet her. In conversation with one of his friends, Marcus confesses that he hasn’t decided if he loves Jenn yet, and he’s anxious about whether he can genuinely love her. He also fears that they may be hesitant in expressing their feelings towards each other. This uncertainty leaves him concerned that he could lose Jenn, and deeply regret the situation.

Jenn, much like herself, shares the same sentiments regarding their predicament. She confides in one of his friends that she suspects she has been hesitant with Marcus due to uncertainty about his feelings towards her.

Eventually, Jenn and Marcus achieve understanding following their conversation with his sister, who encourages them to continue their relationship as they seem well-suited. In the end, Marcus admits to developing feelings for Jenn.

At the end of the episode, the four friends gather together for a final get-together, where they share stories from their recent hometown visits. While everyone appeared confident and upbeat, Marcus seemed anxious about his predicament and Jenn’s choice, given that their date didn’t turn out so smoothly.

In conclusion, Marcus, accompanied by Devin and Jonathan, were the ones who received the rose, while Jeremy had to leave.

As the grand finale looms closer, I can hardly contain my excitement to discover whom Jenn’s heart truly lies with among the three potential suitors!
