Scandal “Heavy is the Head” Recap

Scandal is back! I repeat Scandal is back! And so is #Olitz! The episode begins with a little bait and switch with hypocrital Sally Langston (Kate Burton) narrating over an extravagant dinner for the Princess of Caledonia. The best part of Olivia (Kerry Washington) and Fitz’s (Tony Goldwyn) reunion is that we get to see her in formal wear again. She wore a couture Rubin Singer gown from the Fall 2015 collection. This Badgely Mischka Strapless Ruffled Gown ($670) is similar. You can also find it here.

Rubin Singer

The White House put out an official statement that Mellie (Bellamy Young) is ill, which is a lie that she is not happy about seeing as she is already dressed for the event in a J. Mendel Off-The-Shoulder Lurex Jacquard Gown ($4,900). This Ralph Lauren Off-The-Shoulder Jersey Gown ($190) is a less expensive alternative:

J Mendel

Abby (Darby Stanchfield) also wore a Rubin Singer gown from the Fall 2015 collection. Her scene with Liv talking about the Princess was great. That is totally something that would happen in real life! This Sophie House Prom Dress ($165) hasa similar color palette and feel.

Rubin SingerAfter the ball, Olivia gets a call from the Queen to report the death of the Princess. Olivia arrives on the scene and uses her trench coat to cover the body from paparazzi. This Calvin Klein Double-Breasted Belted Trench Coat ($99.98) is similar:

Trench

Olivia pays a visit to the Queen and the Prince and agrees to try to get the photos that were taken of the Princess’ body. She wore a Vivienne Westwood Anglomania Woven Wrap Coat (sold out). This Jessie G. Women’s ‘Anastasia’ Wool Blend Vegan Leather Trim Wrap Coat ($89.99) is similar:

Vivienne WestwoodTrying to get the photos back means that Olivia and Quinn (Katie Lowes) have to pay off the paparazzi. Olivia wore this Draped Front Crepe Blouse by Jason Wu ($895) under her coat. This ASOS Drape Front Blouse With Keyhole Detail ($30) is similar:

Jason Wu

After they track down all of the paparazzi, except for one, Olivia has the brilliant idea to give them something else to publish, the tragic photo of a husband identifying his wife at the morgue. When Olivia returns to the office, she realizes that the last paparazzi, isn’t a paparazzi at all…She wore an Alexander McQueen Wool Military Jacket ($2,495) and carried the Prada Saffiano Lux Double-Zip Tote ($2,430). To recreate this look I found a Black Long Sleeve Peplum Waist Asymmetric Blazer ($29.43) and Michael Kors Selma Leather Medium Zip Satchel ($298):

Alexander McQueen

Olivia and Quinn crack the case with a little help from David Rosen (Joshua Malina). Fitz won’t agree to help as he doesn’t want to ruin his opportunity for Navy bases so Olivia confronts the Queen herself. She wore a black and white floral print peplum top. I found this Leaf Print Peplum Top ($24.99) to recreate the look:

peplum tp

Olivia discovers that the Queen is behind the Princess’ death, but she can’t do anything about it because of her non-disclosure agreement. She is able to tell the Prince the truth and he makes the Queen abdicate the throne for good. Olivia wore the Celeste Reversible Coat by Max Mara. I found two similar options in the reverse color, the first, this Vince Camuto Oversized Collar Belted Coat ($219) and the second this Forever 21 Belted Wool-Blend Coat ($69.90):

MaxMara

Out of nowhere, Olivia and Fitz are outed by Sally Langston, with photographic evidence…I wonder who was behind that?

What did you think will happen now that Olivia and Fitz have been outed?

Fall Into Fringe

I’m not quite ready for fall yet. I am a firm believer that it doesn’t start until September 23rd, but I have to admit that it’s hard to ignore. My Fall Favorites and Fall Bucket List posts are coming up next week, but I couldn’t resist doing a little fall fashion today. One of the biggest trends for fall is fringe! My personal style is less bohemian and more classic, but there is something fun about fringe.

FRINGE (2)

I’ve selected a few fringe pieces that I want to incorporate into my wardrobe this fall. I can’t wait to get these and share some fun outfit posts with you.

Michael Kors Fringe Hem Cowl Neck Sweater ($89.50)

I think this would be so cute with boots and jeans, now the only problem is figuring out which color to get!

Michael Kors

Sole Society Faux Leather Fringe Hobo ($64.95)

This bag wins the case for white after Labor Day. It is stunning!

sole society

Karen Kane Fringe Pencil Skirt ($98)

I would wear this one to work, just enough fringe to be stylish.

Karen Kane

BaubleBar Tassel Bracelet ($34)

Call it tassels or fringe, this is too cute to pass up.

tassel bracelet

Hinge Ombré Fringe Cape ($78)

I love that this is ombre! I think the grey is a good pick for fall, but I like the blue too!

Hinge

Steve Madden Fringly ($99.99)

I love these in the blue suede, but I could go purple suede too. They would be great with a little black dress for a fun night out!

steve madden

INC International Concepts V-Hem Fringed Tunic Sweater ($58.99)

This would look great with the leggings and boots I already have!

INC

Street Level Suede Fringe Foldover Crossbody Bag ($78)

I LOVE this bag. I’m not sure that it’s totally practical, but I love it. It reminds me of the Prada bag Carrie had on Sex and the City at the premiere of Smith’s play that she had to hold up high the whole time…but it was SO beautiful.

street level

Bongo Women’s Willow Taupe Fringe Western Ankle Boot ($39.99)

These are just enough to be cute and stylish. Some of the fringe boots I saw were a little too much for my tastes.

bongo

INC International Concepts Fringe Wrap Cardigan ($59.99)

I would wear this all weekend until spring!

INC fringe

Emperia Fringe Faux Leather Tote ($54)

I love pink.

Steve Madden Sashi Fringe Sandal ($129.95)

If the blue suede is too much for you, these have just a hint of fringe.

Sashi

Ralph Lauren Fringe Trim Long Drape Front Coat ($340)

This is a little on the pricey side, but this is the item I would use all my Nordstrom Notes for!

ralph lauren

Jessica McClintock Fringe Open Handle Clutch ($45)

Perfect for a pop of style on a night out.

jessica mcclintock

Rachel Zoe Remy Fringe Ear Cuffs ($95)

Fringe and ear cuffs combined! I love killing two trends with one stone.

Mistresses “Odd Couples” Recap

This week on Mistresses, Joss (Jess Macallan) makes a new friend in Calista (Jennifer Esposito) and April (Rachelle Aytes) has to deal with the fallout from Paul’s scandal.

April finds out that she has to pay the insurance company back for Paul’s death benefit so she needs a lawyer to help fight the case. As Savi is out of the country and Dom is unavailable, Toni (Rebeka Montoya) fills in. She wore a blue sheath dress. I found this Nine West Cap-Sleeve Ruched Sheath ($49.98) to recreate the look:

nine west

Karen (Yunjin Kim) goes through her donation procedure but doesn’t realize how much energy it will take out out of her. She is struggling the next day, but her doctor, and Vivian’s husband Alec (Ed Quinn) makes a house call to take care of her. Karen feels better the next day and heads off to work in a sold out sleeveless H&M dress. This Adrianna Papell Floral and Line Printed Pleated Sheath Dress ($140) is similar:

hm

April is dealing with roommate issues now that Mark (Rob Mayes) is living with her. They seem to work their problems out, except for having to pay back the insurance company. Unfortunately, none of this helps her with Lucy (Corinne Massiah) who is entering the teenage angst phase a little early. April wore the Joie Cantoria Blouse ($195). This Adrianna Papell Floral-Print Crossover Front Hi-Low Top ($99) is similar:

joie

Joss experiences a roller coaster of emotions this episode, with a Calista meltdown and suspicions of Harry (Brett Tucker) showing interest in someone else. That seems to make her more interested because at the end of the episode she pays him a booty call visit wearing the sold out JCrew Foil Striped Tank Top. This Gold Trim Khaki Vest Trim ($35) is similar:

jcrew

Suits “Denial” Recap

Season five opens with a dream sequence and we see that Harvey (Gabriel Macht) is dealing with Donna (Sarah Rafferty) leaving him. In the dream sequence Jessica is wearing an all white suit. This Calvin Klein Blazer ($64.99) and Pencil Skirt ($54.98) are similar:

Calvin Klein suit

Dream Donna wore a sold out Bow Front Cutout Dress by Burberry. This C. Luce Sheath Dress with Bow ($24) is similar:

Burberry

Donna is determined to be Louis’ (Rick Hoffman) secretary and she throws out all of his other resumes until she can convince him that she means business. I am guessing she wore the Donna Karan Belted Stretch Crepe Dress ($1,495) or something very similar. I found this Express Long Sleeve Surplice Dress ($59.90) to recreate the look:

dkny

Harvey is not taking Donna’s abandonment lightly and it seems to be affecting him more than he realizes. Jessica (Gina Torres) confronts him and asks him to close a new deal for the firm. She wore a the sold out Alexander McQueen Tailored Silk Mikado Jacket. I found this Lasting Moments Peplum Jacket Dress ($368) that is similar and you could mix and match the dress and the jacket.

Alexander McQueen

Donna interrupts Louis during his lunch to tell him that she officially starts as his secretary today, which culminates in a weird sexual innuendo banter between them. Donna looks smashing in a black trench. This Calvin Klein Double-Breasted Belted Trench Coat ($99.98) is similar:

Calvin Klein

As Donna and Louis kick off day two of their new working relationship, he is having a hard time believing that she isn’t going to leave him for Harvey. Donna wore the Cady Dress by Armani Collezioni ($765). This Light Blue Draped V-neck Sleeveless A-line Short Cascade Dress ($110.67) is similar:

armani

Harvey’s worst fears are coming true and Jessica calls him out for not being able to get shit done without Donna. She demands that he get it together or she will. She has on an awesome cape style jacket with fur detail on the sleeves. This fur trimmed cape ($63.99) is similar:

Fur cape

Donna and Louis come up with their own team ritual to solidify the fact that she isn’t going back to Harvey. Donna wore a beautiful dress with rose graphics. This Calvin Klein Floral Knit Sheath Dress ($118) has a similar style:

floral sheath

In the end, Harvey is starting to come around to the fact that Donna isn’t coming back, but he is still dealing with panic attacks. It is really interesting to watch his character deal with this because he is so used to being in control.

Donna buys Rachel (Meghan Markle) Tiffany’s to celebrate her engagement and to thank her for doing all of Harvey’s extra work. Harvey in turn takes Mike (Patrick Adams) to the Nets game…front row.

All is well for now, but this is only the first episode…

Mistresses “I’ll Be Watching You” Recap

As we kick off this episode Karen (Yunjin Kim) is learning all of the benefits of living with Joss (Jess Macallan) including her lack of cleanliness. Karen is wearing the Elie Tahari Isabella Dress ($199.99). This Marc New York by Andrew Marc Floral Printed Shift Dress ($59) is similar:

Joss meets our new mistress Calista Raines (Jennifer Esposito) when she steals Joss’ parking spot. Joss wore the Dad’s Shirt by Lacausa ($110). This We The Free Dreamer Tank ($49.95) is similar:

April (Rochelle Aytes) is having a fun time adjusting to Marc (Rob Mayes) and Scotty’s lifestyle. She unfairly judges him and has to go to his trailer to apologize and offer her help. She wore the Free People Raw Linen Drapey Jacket ($82.99):

Free People

All throughout the episode Karen keeps getting stood up, first by April then by Joss, so she decides to spend some time with Vivian (Sonja Bennett) during her treatments. Karen wore the sold out Alejandra Snakeskin Print Split Back Silk Blouse by Elie Tahari. This Elie Tahari Kaylee Printed Zip-Front Blouse ($92.26):

Eli Tahari Alejandra

Joss teams up with our new mistress Calista to try and catch her husband in the act. Joss doesn’t end up getting the picture because she thought Savi was calling her. Calista tries to help her get past this and learn to let go and live without Savi. Joss is having a hard time with everything especially since she isn’t with Harry (Brett Tucker) at the moment. Joss wore the La Lune Foiled Muscle Tee ($29) while talking on the phone to Harry.

la lune

April finally decides to let Scotty and Mark move in with her and Lucy (Corinne Massiah) in hopes that Lucy will finally come around. Everyone is excited, but it doesn’t get Lucy to warm up to her at all.

April and Joss meet Karen for church and I can’t believe Joss tries to eat fried chicken in church!

We end the episode with Calista introducing herself to Harry in sort of questionable way…not sure what she is doing here.

Episode two with no Savi and I think so far so good. What did you think so far?

Lighten Up With Vera Bradley

Disclosure: As part of the SWMI Sip & Stroll wine tour, I received a Vera Bradley Tote to review. All opinions are my own.

You may have seen my previous posts on the fun #SWMISipStroll wine tour that I recently participated in. If not you can catch up with them herehere and here. One of the biggest surprises of the trip was the gorgeous Vera Bradley Big Tote that we received upon arrival.

Vera Bradley

Mine was in the Confetti Stripe pattern and some of the other ladies received the Palm Fronds, Midnight Sun and Marrakesh Beads. This was the perfect color for summer and makes a great work tote! This was my first Vera Bradley bag which made me curious to see what else I might like from the most recent line. Since I received my tote, I’ve been following Vera Bradley on Instagram and have been expanding my wish list to include some of these fun pieces:

Harper Clutch ($148)

I thought this clutch in white was super cute for summer outings. It would have been perfect for some of my recent outfits.

Harper Clutch

Quilted Harper Clutch ($148)

On that note, I also loved the quilted version. It has a Chanel like quality to it and the blush color is so feminine.

Quilted harper clutch

Die-Cut Notecards ($18)

I’ve really wanted to step up my correspondence game, like sending thoughtful notes to friends and families and being better about sending thank you notes. Maybe if I had these darling cards it would be easier…

notecard

Whimsy Hybrid Hardshell Case for iPhone 5 ($38)

I may have mentioned that I love pineapples for summer and this one is no different! So fun!

Flower Enamel Bracelet ($58)

I need more turquoise in my life, starting with this cute flower bracelet.

What are your favorite Vera Bradley pieces?



Bachelorette 11 – Week Six

Continuing from last week, we see Ian’s exit after an insulting conversation with Kaitlyn. I couldn’t believe how full of himself Ian was. What a tool. #ByeFelicia

Nick made a smart move by going to comfort Kaitlyn while the rest of the guys just sat their. Hindsight is 20/20 and Nick has certainly learned a few things on his second time around. Their chemistry is undeniable, I’ve watched this show for a long time and I don’t think I’ve ever seen such an obvious connection before.

At the rose ceremony Justin and Josh were sent home. I felt a little bad for Josh since his hair got butchered and then he got the boot. Hopefully the first thing he does upon returning home is get a haircut. The guys find out that they are traveling to Dublin, Ireland for the next week and everyone is super excited to get out of the country.

On her ITM Kaitlyn couldn’t be more excited to fall in love in Ireland. For the interview she wore an IRO Biker Jacket ($941.50) and the Brooklyn Designs Aqua Chalcedony Ring. This Textured Knit Moto Jacket from Express ($98) is similar:

IRO biker jacket

First up is the one-on-one date and Kaitlyn chooses Nick, which makes Shawn insane. Kaitlyn and Nick are like two freight trains on a collision course…nobody can come between them at this point. Like I said earlier, their chemistry is undeniable which makes all the other guys uncomfortable. Kaitlyn wore the Blaine Pullover from One Grey Day ($184) and GOLDSIGN Lure Skinny Jeans ($228). This Pullover Sweater with Bar Back ($34) is similar:

One grey day

Kaitlyn is wearing the Robyn Rhodes Claire Oval Silver Druzy Pendant ($54):

Robyn rhodes druzy

Whew! Someone fan off my laptop, because this date with Kaitlyn and Nick is HOTT! These two can’t keep their hands off of each other and I don’t blame them. Nick is coming across really sweet and if I was her I would probably be giving him a rose too. You don’t find that kind of connection everyday. Kaitlyn wore a Knit Turtleneck Dress from Barney’s ($750) and a really cute horn ring from The Woods. To recreate her look I found a Banana Republic Black TurtleNeck Dress ($98) and this House of Harlow Horn Ankolie Ring ($48):

Barneys

For the group date the guys go to a very creepy Irish wake for Kaitlyn. Seeing her in the casket is just creepy. Everyone makes the best of it and has fun. Kaitlyn looks good in a sold out Jean Paul Gaultier Tattoo Lace Dress. This Adrianna Papell Long Sleeve Lace Sheath Dress ($158) is similar:

jean paul gaultier

On the evening portion of the group date Kaitlyn gets some one-on-one time with Ben Z. who had a hard time at the wake. She wore the sold out ALC Mike Tiered Sleeveless Top and the sold out Joseph Zip Pocket Leggings. This Bisou Bisou Sleeveless Tiered Blouse ($12.99) and BB Dakota Judy Faux Leather Legging ($24.99) are similar:

ALC Mike Tiered Top

Her necklaces are Robyn Rhodes Jeremy ($98) worn in the vertical position and Brooklyn Designs Easton:

robyn rhodes

Shawn is having a hard time on this group date and pretty much loses it when Kaitlyn gives Jared the rose and takes him to a private concert with the Cranberries. Shawn reveals that Kaitlyn told him that he was the one in San Antonio and he thinks she is ruining what they have by not picking him for everything…does he not realize that he signed up for The Bachelorette? He is really making this difficult for her. On top of this she is terrified that Shawn knows that she slept with Nick, which I don’t think he does at this point. Kaitlyn is distraught that she has ruined everything in her ITM. Kaitlyn wore the Kiki Designs Angel Wings Ring ($128):

Kiki Designs

What did you think about Kaitlyn sleeping with Nick before the fantasy suite and Shawn losing his mind? Lots of craziness this week and I definitely wouldn’t want to be in Kaitlyn’s position. She is definitely torn between these two guys.

Mistresses “Gone Girl” Recap

Season 3 of Mistresses kicks off just like you would imagine a show called Mistresses would – with lots of steamy drama! Note to future mistresses-when cheating on someone make sure to turn off all phones to escape those pesky interruptions. Joss (Jess Macallan) and Harry (Brett Tucker) forgot to do this allowing Karen (Yunjin Kim) to track them down. Unfortunately, it was to let Joss know that Scott’s (Justin Hartley) grandmother had a stroke and she needed to get back to her wedding stat. I liked Karen’s dress, but don’t have an ID for it. I did find this similar Jessica Simpson Blouson Bungee Necklace Dress ($118):

Jessica Simpson Blouson

Lucy (Corinne Massiah) just learned the truth about her father and feels betrayed by April (Rochelle Aytes). She understandably doesn’t want to talk to her as her father is now dead. April wears the Tadashi Shoji Embroidered Lace Sheath Dress ($238):

Tadashi Shoji

April has to tell Lucy the whole truth, which she doesn’t take very well. April wore this Adelia Boho Blouse ($78). You can get a few sizes here for $31.20 and here in white for $44.99:

Adelia blouse

Joss suspects that Savi witnessed her little tryst with Harry and that is why she is missing. She meets Dom (Jason George) for coffee to discover that Savi has quit her job at the firm with no notice. Joss is wearing a fabulous leather moto jacket. I found this similar Calvin Klein Jeans Faux-Leather Moto Jacket ($148):

Calvin Klein

Meanwhile, Karen pays a visit to her doctor for a follow up after her negative HIV test. She is furious when she finds out that he has profiled her blood without her permission and asks her to donate her rare blood type. Karen wore a sold out Floral Printed T-Shirt from Zara. I liked this DKNYC Layered Multimedia Blouse ($89.50) to recreate the look:

Zara

After Joss’ life implodes, she is stuck staying with Karen until she can find a place. What’s worse is she discovers that Savi was still in love with Harry. Joss wore a sold out Snake Print Tank from Haute Hippie. I found a similar look with this Joie Printed Cotton Racerback Tank ($148):

Haute Hippie

Joss is falling apart, but Karen has to leave to meet with the doctor and Joss’ problems will have to wait. Karen wears a sold out Doji 2 Sleeveless Colorblock Sheath Dress by O’2nd and carries the Banstraw bag by Aldo ($25). This JAX Lace Panelled Sheath Dress ($148) is similar:

o2nd

At the end of the episode we meet our newest mistress Calista Raines (Jennifer Esposito) who’s husband is cheating on her. She has a standout red caftan style maxi dress on. I found this Ladies Summer Party Kaftan Style Red Maxi Dress by MontyQ ($45) to try to recreate the look:

red maxi

What did you think of the season opener minus Alyssa Milano? Personally, I thought Joss was a little clueless per usual. How do you hook up with your sister’s ex-husband and think it’s okay?! Although anyone could see that their relationship has crossed too many boundries for a long time.

If you missed it, you can still watch it on iTunes or Hulu.

Bachelorette 11 – Week Five

We pick up where we left off, with Nick showing up and meeting the guys a.k.a. firing squad. I think he did a pretty good job of explaining himself and his intentions. The guys weren’t happy that he was there and really didn’t want to hear anything he had to say. As they head out for the cocktail party at Citi Field most of the guys are second guessing their relationships with Kaitlyn. This was especially true of Shawn who started calling Nick “the other guy” and told Kaitlyn that he thought she was smarter than that.

I have said this every season, you have to focus on your own relationship instead of the relationships she has with the other guys. If you only get three minutes with her, why would you waste it talking about someone else.

Kaitlyn wore the Parker Sequin Aubrey Dress ($278) at the cocktail party. This Adrianna Papell Short Beaded Dress ($160) is similar:

parker

She ended up giving Nick the rose and letting Ryan, Jonathan and some other guy with no airtime go. She then announces that they are headed off to sunny San Antonio!

As they intro San Antonio, Kaitlyn walks around as the guys share their thoughts about Nick a.k.a. “The Other Guy.” Kaitlyn wears a sold out plaid shirt from Express. This Rails Shirt from Bloomingdale’s ($138) is similar:

express plaid

Ben H. gets the first one-on-one date and he and Kaitlyn enter a two-stepping competition. Kaitlyn wore a Bella Dahl Basic Split Back Button Down Shirt ($145), Cavender’s by Old Gringo Women’s Kilauea Red Snip Toe Western Boots ($169.99) and her Michael Kors Runway Chronograph Watch ($250):

Bella Dahl

On the evening portion of the date, Kaitlyn wore a Crystal Pendant from The Woods ($1300). This Quartz Pendant from Etsy ($26) is similar:

Crystal pendant

Ben is able to open up on their date and Kaitlyn gives him the rose saving him for this week.

Next up is the group date where the guys had to write and perform a Mariachi song for Kaitlyn. Some of them really hit it out of the park, especially Nick who obviously learned from his past group date experiences by just embracing the silliness. Kaitlyn wore a sold out Alexa Chung Pixie Dress with Dan Post Women’s Santa Rosa Western Boot ($119.99). This 7 For All Mankind Trucker Dress ($298) is similar:

Alexa Chung

In her ITM Kaitlyn wore the sold out Parker James top. This Maurice’s Perfect Blouse in mint ($29) is similar:

Parker James

On the evening portion of the group date, Kaitlyn wore a sold out fringe skirt from Intermix. I found a similar Feel the Fringe Skirt ($60):

Intermix

Josh pulls her away for some one-on-one time and in order to demonstrate his trust he asks her to cut his hair. Well this is the exact reason I’m not allowed to cut my husband’s hair – she totally butchered it and now Josh looks ridiculous! You do get a close up of her Gold & Gray Pyrite & Diamond Arrowhead Pendant ($690). This Pave Diamond Agate Arrowhead from Beadspoint ($99) is similar:

Agate pendant

Josh pretty much crashed and burned and led to Kaitlyn giving the group date rose to Nick to show the guys that she was serious about him. This didn’t sit well with Shawn who was next for a one-on-one date. Kaitlyn wore the Aritzia Izabel Romper ($32.50). This Sleeveless Knit Romper from Stem ($58) is similar:

Aritzia Romper

Kaitlyn and Shawn start the date off by kayaking and you get a close up of Kaitlyn’s Robyn Rhodes Franco ring ($55):

Robyn rhodes franco

They kayak down the San Antonio riverwalk and have a nice date followed by Shawn sharing his doubts about “the other guy” again. Kaitlyn wore the Vitamin A Karlie Beaded Bandeau ($95) and Vitamin A Tamarindo Bottom ($65):

Vitamin A

Shawn opens up to Kaitlyn about his feelings and his previous car accident. You can see Kaitlyn’s Porter Lyons Backbone Cuff ($375). This Yochi Lion Head Cuff ($68) is similar:

backbone cuff

Shawn scored the rose and both he and Kaitlyn admitted that they were falling in love…sort of a no-no for her to admit that before the final rose…

Onto the cocktail party, we see that Ian wants to go home because he thinks he is too good for Kaitlyn and the rest of us pretty much think he’s a big tool. Kaitlyn looks stunning in a backless Randi Rahm dress. This Pamella Roland Crepe Draped-Back Gown ($1060) is similar:

Randi Rahm backless

The episode ends with Ian telling Kaitlyn that he thinks she is a surface level person and that he is too good for her. If I were Kaitlyn I would of told him to get the f*** out, but that’s just me. I definitely wouldn’t sit there and listen to that. We’ll see what she ends up telling him next week…To Be Continued…

This week’s deleted scene shows Joshua and Joe struggling with their Mariachi songs:
