The 12 remaining bachelorettes endure a boot camp, and a drill sergeant---not Andy---gives the toughest lady a rose. But Andy does show off his bedside manner to a woman who is injured. Then he takes five contestants to a mud spa, where he gives one a massage, and accompanies four others to an auto race. Andy also goes on a two-on-one date aboard an aircraft carrier berthed in San Diego, but brings only one rose with him. After the concluding rose ceremony, nine bachelorettes remain.

Now the pressure is really on, as Andy struggles to decide which four women he will escort home to meet their family and friends. But first, one lucky bachelorette experiences a fairytale date with the handsome Bachelor, complete with million dollar jewels and a glamorous dress. Another lady sets out on a very sensuous individual date with the Lieutenant, as they create their own blend of wine. On the only group date, four women join Andy in a charity project, transforming a rundown Los Angeles elementary school playground into a safe haven for kindergarten kids -- which may change his perspective on the bachelorettes.
