Rising New Country Star Chris Lane Performs for Nick and One Special Woman

"Episode 2104" - Level-headed Vanessa turns fierce as she confronts Nick about his behavior and intentions when it comes to Corinne. Two unsuspecting women are sent home that night at the rose ceremony. The remaining bachelorettes are headed to Nick's hometown of Waukesha, Wisconsin, to get a close-up look at where he grew up. One hopeful bachelorette takes a stroll down memory lane with Nick, and they unexpectedly run into someone from his past. A romantic dinner leads to a surprise concert by new country star Chris Lane. Thirteen women get to test their skills as ranch hands for a down-home date on a local farm, but not all the ladies feel at home. The final one-on-one date goes to a lovely small-town bachelorette. Their day of family fun culminates with an intimate dinner and the usually shy woman reveals a fiery side Nick has not seen before. After weeks of tension, some of the bachelorettes have it out at the cocktail party- insults fly! Do they want to win Nick's heart or just win? Find out on "The Bachelor," MONDAY, JANUARY 23 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EST), on the ABC Television Network.

The first one-on-one date is full of surprises: A woman from Nick's past interrupts their rendezvous with an unexpected and revealing conversation. But the couple do get to share an intimate slow dance at a concert by one of country's newest stars, Chris Lane.

Nick gives 13 bachelorettes an opportunity to show him their resilient side as they play farm hands for the day. Some women are totally comfortable with the farm chores and work hard to impress Nick, but one lady finds the whole experience distasteful. Trash talking and tension fill the air at the after party, but that doesn't stop Nick from giving out the rose to one sweet woman.

One reserved bachelorette captures the final one-on-one date of the week and is treated to a meeting with Nick's sister, Bella, and watching her play soccer. Afterwards, the three go roller skating. Over a cozy dinner this lady shares her past heartbreak with Nick. Will it strengthen their connection?

Who deserves Nick? The women clash in a tense battle of words. The rose ceremony is minutes away - and Nick needs to quickly figure out who is there for the "right" reasons.
