"Episode 2010" - The compelling live three-hour television event will begin with America watching along with the studio audience as Ben Higgin's journey to find love comes to its astonishing conclusion. The Bachelor prepares to make one of the most difficult choices of this life, having narrowed down the field to two women - Jo Jo and Lauren B.- both of whom he told that he loved them. Who does Ben, after much soul-searching, see as his future wife? Find out on the season finale of "The Bachelor," MONDAY, MARCH 14 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EDT), on the ABC Television Network.

Immediately following the dramatic Season Finale, emotions run high as Ben sits down with Chris Harrison - live - to discuss his final two women of the season: Jo Jo, the beautiful real estate developer, and Lauren B., the stunning flight attendant. The Bachelor takes us back to Jamaica, where he spent the emotional last days of his journey, telling both women that he loved them - a "Bachelor" first. Both ladies are back to sit with Ben to talk about the sensational outcome. It's the live, unpredictable ending to his adventure to find everlasting true love. Does Chris Harrison have a trick up his sleeve? Anything could happen! In addition, the new Bachelorette will be revealed, live, on "The Bachelor: After the Final Rose," also airing MONDAY, MARCH 14 (10:01-11:00 p.m. EDT).

Ben's search for his soul mate is almost over, and after many tears, drama and surprises, it has come down to two captivating women. The Bachelor brings both women to meet his family in hopes that their insight will help him decide which bachelorette would be the best fit for him and his family.

Lauren B. makes a lasting first impression with Ben's parents, but she must win over his dad in particular. Jo Jo, although a little nervous, also leaves his folks equally impressed. Her vulnerability especially appeals to Ben's mother. Although his parents have strong feelings for both women, Ben is still undecided. His only hope is that his last dates with each bachelorette will help him make the biggest decision of his life.

Ben's date with Lauren B. doesn't go according to plan. His unexpected behavior sends this woman into panic mode. Then, during his final date with Jo Jo, she confesses that she cannot picture life without him. Although Jo Jo is confident of her feelings for Ben, he drops a bombshell. Instead of the dates bringing clarity to his situation, they leave him with more doubt.

Confused and uncertain on that final day, Ben makes a last-minute phone call that could change everything. Who has captured his heart? Who will he propose to? Is it Jo Jo or Lauren B.?

The two remaining women are:

Joelle "Jo Jo," 24, real estate developer, Dallas, TX

Lauren B., 25, flight attendant, Marina Del Rey, CA
