Bachelor in Paradise features love, betrayal and 67-year-old April falls in love with 28-year-old Jonathan, what will happen now?

Trouble in Tropical Paradise

The latest episode of Bachelor in Paradise saw some serious relationship ups and downs. Couples who seemed strong suddenly seemed to be standing on shaky ground, proving once again that paradise isn’t always… paradise.

Secrets Cause Big Problems

Kat Izzo and Dale Moss were one of the strongest couples on the beach.

But their foundation cracked when Kat found out that Dale had kissed Allie Jo and never mentioned it.

“I thought we were supposed to be open and transparent,” Kat confronted him during a beach conversation.

Dale’s response? The kiss “wasn’t even that deep” and that he had “debited” it — whatever that means.

Red flags fluttering in the sea breeze

As their conversation deteriorated, Kat began to see the warning signs.

Dale’s dismissive “forget it” attitude and comparisons to his ex-girlfriend made her feel like no one was listening to her.

“Don’t do that,” Kat protested when Dale blamed her past for her worries.

“I don’t want to feel crazy or stupid for telling her my feelings.”

Jonathon’s entrance: A listening ear

Frustrated with Dale, Kat found comfort in talking to contestant Jonathon Johnson alone.

“I need someone who will prove he means what he says,” she said with confidence.

Jonathon seemed genuinely interested, telling the camera: “Kat deserves to feel chosen, reassured and feel like she’s the only one.”

April’s surprise move

Meanwhile, Golden contestant April Kirkwood, 67, had her eye on 28-year-old Jonathon.

Despite previously sharing a kiss with fellow Golden contestant Jack by the pool, April ultimately gave her rose to Jonathon in a truly touching moment.

“I want you to have another chance to be appreciated for the things that other people can’t see, but I do,” she honestly told him.

Fellow contestant Kathy couldn’t help but comment: “I love you April, but you live in Cougartown.”

Rose Ceremony Aftermath

Despite her growing connection with Jonathon, Kat gave her rose to Dale – a decision that made her “sigh with relief”.

But the peace didn’t last long. A joke about never hearing the word “debt” again sparked another argument, with Dale mumbling “we come from different backgrounds” as Kat left.

Tears Under the Stars

The night ended with Kat in tears, upset by Dale’s communication style.

“He has no idea about my background, and even if he did, to say it as ammunition… I don’t want to be in an unhealthy relationship,” she cried to the other women. “He scares me.”

Meanwhile, Dale returned to his room feeling misunderstood: “The best thing for me to do is just keep my mouth shut and be a mat.”

With trust broken and emotions raw, these Paradise relationships hang in the balance.

Will they weather the storm or be swept away with the tide? Only next Monday’s episode will tell.
