CHARLIE VISITS THE FINAL FOUR WOMEN'S HOMETOWNS, BUT HAS AN EMOTIONAL MELTDOWN WHEN HE'S FACED WITH ELIMINATING ONE OF THEM, ON ABC'S "THE BACHELOR," MONDAY, APRIL 25

Sarah W. Must Answer to Charlie for Her Treachery Against Sarah B.

Kimberley's Date with Charlie is Crashed by her Ex-Boyfriend.

"Episode 705" - The stakes get higher as Charlie gets a sneak peek at what life would be like with each of the final four women - Sarah W., Kimberley, Sarah B. and Krisily - when he visits their parents and hometowns. Sarah W. has to work extra hard to regain Charlie's trust when her back-biting lies about Sarah B. surface at the wrong moment. Kimberley's date with Charlie is crashed by her ex-boyfriend and by Jenny -- another Edmonton bachelorette, rejected a few weeks ago -- who both want to confront the couple. On Charlie's trip to visit Sarah B., he's challenged by her sister about his kissing the other women - and, surprisingly, he hasn't kissed Sarah yet. Finally, when Charlie travels to meet Krisily's family, he must "woo" her "Nana" if he wants to capture the bachelorette's heart, on "The Bachelor," MONDAY, APRIL 25 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

Charlie and Sarah B. meet up in McKinney, Texas, at the hospital where she works. Back at Sarah's house, her sister presses Charlie about kissing many of the other the women, which he admits is true. But Sarah may be the smartest of all the women, as she later confides to her sister that she's playing hard to get with the Bachelor.

Charlie and Kimberley have a fun romp at an amusement park before visiting her family's restaurant, the "Pyrogy House" in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Charlie helps Kimberley's mom with the cooking and her family falls in the love with him. However Charlie desperately avoids Kimberley's physical advances in front of her parents while they're at the restaurant. Later the couple is ambushed by Kimberley's ex-boyfriend and by Jenny, one of the rejected bachelorettes. Kimberley's "ex" wants to know if he has a shot at getting back together with her, and Jenny also wants a second chance with Charlie.

Scheming, conniving Sarah W. needs all of her powers of charm to convince Charlie that she did not lie to Sarah B. and that the women are wrong for hating her. Charlie charms Sara W.'s entire family and even lends her dad a hand shoveling snow in frigid Corning, New York. The date ends when Sara bats her eyes at Charlie, reminding him why he likes her.

Krisily brings Charlie home to Providence, Rhode Island for one of the most memorable -- and wild -- hometown dates ever! Charlie is surprised to find that Krisily's "Nana" has a framed photograph of him above the fireplace, and he's coaxed into dancing with her. Krisily cries and reveals to her mother that she has fallen hard for Charlie and is scared she'll be hurt.

But the pressure of meeting the women's families is all too much for Charlie. When he addresses the women before the rose ceremony, his emotions get the better of him and he breaks down and cries. He must get a grip on his feelings and narrow the field to the three women he'll take on the romantic overnight dates next week. In a series first, all the exotic trysts will take place in one location: Aruba.

The final four women are:

Kimberley, 25, swimsuit model, who currently resides in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Krisily, 25, salon coordinator, who currently resides in Warwick, RI
Sarah B., 24, labor & delivery nurse, who currently resides in McKinney, TX
Sarah W., 24, in fashion design, who currently resides in Los Angeles, CA
