She will spend special intimate time with each of the final guys, and there are possible invitations to spend the night in a "fantasy suite." Will JoJo gain some clarity and come closer to finding her true love, or will more uncertainty and doubt surface just one week before she might entertain a proposal? And will her feelings of love for more than one man get in the way of her happy ending? Another stunning rose ceremony forces JoJo to search her own heart and finally pick the two men she wants to introduce to her family, on "The Bachelorette," MONDAY, JULY 25 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EDT), on the ABC Television Network.

Editors' Note: "The Bachelorette: The Men All" will air on Tuesday, July 26 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EDT).

JoJo takes her first date on stroll through an authentic floating market. The two try seafood dishes, immerse themselves in the culture and share an intense kiss during a rainstorm. JoJo is overwhelmed and remembers back to when Ben told her he loved her and then broke her heart. Can JoJo be certain this man won't leave her brokenhearted? The bachelor gives her an unusual memento to remind her of his promise of everlasting love, but will it be enough?

Her second date in Thailand finds JoJo hiking through one of their beautiful national parks with another of her handsome suitors. They climb up a steep mountain, but are rewarded when they reach a stunning sacred temple hidden in a mystical cave. They discuss their possible future together and the delightful hometown visit they shared. The couple is unable to kiss or be physical inside the hallowed cave. Is their relationship based on physical chemistry, or is there an emotional connection as well? That night after the man gives less than satisfying answers about what he envisions their future to be like, JoJo pressures him. He pours out his heart as he attempts to convince her about how serious he is about their relationship.

As JoJo heads into her final date, she has creeping sensation of déj� vu. She realizes she is in love with two men and possibly could also fall in love with the third. The couple takes a boat ride to a secluded beach. After discussing the amazing hometown experience they had, JoJo realizes how strong her feelings really are for this man. What happens that night in the fantasy suite shocks both JoJo and the bachelor and will lead to a tumultuous conclusion!

JoJo needs to come to grips with her overwhelming emotions and the reality that she is in love with more than one amazing man. Will she be able to make the right decision? With only two roses to give out, she must trust her heart and her gut in the end. But before she can give out the first rose, there is a stunning interruption. How will it affect her decision, and will falling madly in love with more than one man derail her dream of finding the love a lifetime?
