Warning: Spoilers from Episode 6 and 7 of Fox's "Farmer Wants a Wife" Season 3 ahead.
Farmer J'Marick "Jay" Woods decided mother knows best when he invited the dater she chose for him back to his Alabama farm on "Farmer Wants a Wife."
Unsurprisingly, his other four daters — who had been there since the beginning — didn't love that call. Woods ended up parting ways with dater Julia, then T'yana parted ways with him — though, it was mutual-ish.
For Woods, a big part of the next episode, which aired May 1, was about giving his two original remaining daters — Madison's Karina Sabol and Grace — the reassurance they needed. He told Sabol he was still on a high from the solo date they went on and that he could picture her being in Alabama. Good start, Jay. Good start.
Then, he began getting to know newest addition Rissa.
Woods and his trio met up with this season's three other farmers and all of their remaining daters for the second full group event: A camping trip to Texas.
At the end of it, the farmers had to make a major decision: Who they would be taking on their final solo dates.
Here's how Sabol, her fellow daters and Farmer Jay fared. But first, a look back at Episode 6:
Things were on the up-and-up at Woods' farm. Sabol felt happy with how her solo date went. And, the camaraderie between Woods' daters improved.
But, host Kimberly Williams-Paisley threw the farmers a curveball when she enlisted their mothers to help pick one additional woman for each of their sons to meet. After going on a date with said women, the farmers would decide whether to invite them back to their farms.
While Woods was on his date, Sabol told her fellow daters that, if their farmer brought another woman home, she'd need to have a conversation with him.
While Farmers Matt and Colton decided not to add the new prospects into the mix, Woods and John did.
When Woods introduced new dater Rissa to his group, who was making s'mores, it was mostly "crickets" (Woods' words).
During a tough one-on-one chat with Julia that followed, Woods told her he wasn't able to picture her being happy on the farm and with the work that it entails. She said she kind of checked out because she didn't feel he knew how lucky he was to have her there.
"I think we just kind of need to part ways," Woods told her.
Alone with Woods, T'yana let him know that she felt he put her on the back burner and that the person who's for her wouldn't make her feel that way.
In Woods' eyes, all of the drama hurt their connection and chemistry. Even if they would go on a solo date, T'yana said, she didn't feel she could get there with Woods. So, she left, too.
Woods pulled his last two original daters — Sabol and Grace — aside to explain that having Rissa join the farm doesn't change his chemistry and connection with either of them.
Sabol let him know where she was at: Hot and not feeling really good anymore.
"Having him bring home another girl sets the tone that he's not really interested in pursuing our relationship," she said in a confessional.
Woods went for a walk with Grace, who took the situation hard. She wanted to be unmic-ed and he helped her make that happen, though their conversation was still picked up.
With them having a super-great connection, she said, she thought maybe Woods didn't feel that way after all, after bringing another woman to the farm.
Woods promised Grace that there are no doubts in his head about her and that what they have is real.
After the farmers and daters caught up and settled into their Texas campsite, Woods wanted to check in on Sabol, one-on-one, to see where her head was.
While she didn't think Woods bringing a new woman to the farm was going to bother her at all, she said, she was coming off of a high from the date they just had.
"I feel like I just question where we're going," Sabol said. "Like, a lot."
"That high that you're talking about, I still feel like I'm on it," Woods told her.
The more serious things get, the more Sabol likes Woods, she said, which stresses her out.
"I can promise you, you're definitely somebody I could see being in Alabama," Woods said.
When Woods asked Rissa what she sees as the hardest thing for her on the farm, she said she's very adventurous and enjoys travel. But, everything else about farm life, she's "in love with."
Wanting to get to know his newest dater and her beautiful soul more, he chose Rissa.
"My momma picked her for a reason and we have some type of chemistry there," Woods said in a confessional. "We just have to explore it further."
It won't be long before the farmers have to narrow their daters to two.
To find out what went down between the other three farmers and their daters during Episodes 6 and 7, including who else went home, already-aired episodes are streaming on Hulu.
