Samantha felt sorry for Brian as she saw the final episode. That sorrow turned to joy as she realized that he was still single.
Chris came out as the show started. Some of the ladies were already seated on stage.
"Welcome to 'After the Rose'."
He started interviewing the ladies, particularly the ones Julie had influence over. Naveena told him she was so upset when she left, not knowing how bad a condition she was in. She was relieved when she got home and everything was okay. That relief, however, soon turned to rage. Now, she had a direction to point it at.
Denise also shared that rage against Julie. After all, she was the one eliminated because Julie told him she had a boyfriend. She told everyone she didn't and still doesn't.
He also asked Sage, McKenna, and Alison how they were doing.
Caitlin was next to come on stage. Chris asked her how she was doing after the rejection. "It was hard at first, but everything is back to normal now. If fact, it inspired me to write music. I've been approached by a record producer and he wants to record an album."
"Can you put that off for a few months? Ladies and gentlemen, Caitlin is the new Bachelorette." The audience erupted with applause.
Security was brought onstage before Julie came out. The audience booed her as she walked onstage. Naveena charged after her but was intercepted by security.
Chris asked why she tricked him into loving her.
"It was nothing personal. Just a game. I did what I needed to do. In fact, as a result of this show, I have been offered a part in a brand new show."
She was the most hated woman in the history of The Bachelor. The audience asked her a few questions.
Brian was the last to come out. This was the first time he had seen or heard from Julie since Australia. He had some tough questions that needed answers.
He told them how he tried to contact Caitlin after the show. He didn't blame her for turning him down.
He also told them of his contemplating suicide.
The audience asked him some questions. Samantha tried to ask him a question, but he could not see her in the audience.
The show ended, and Samantha never got to ask him out. She refused to give up.
She waited for him outside of the studio. An hour later, the two were reunited.
"I have never gotten you out of my mind. Even when I was with Jeremy, I always thought of you. Would you like to get together and pick up where we left off in Antigua?"
