'Bachelor in Paradise' Season 6: Will Dean and Caelynn's romance ignite once again with his return? Or will she stick to Connor?

When BIP returned to our screens on Tuesday night, we were in for a massive shock to see Dean Unglert take Caelynn Miller-Keyes aside right after the rose ceremony

A lot went down in 'Bachelor in Paradise' season 6  this week, and no, we're not talking about Krystal Nielson and Chris Randone’s (Goose) beautiful wedding ceremony. 

When BIP returned to our screens on Tuesday night, we were in for a massive shock to see Dean Unglert take Caelynn Miller-Keyes aside right after the rose ceremony, on the night of her birthday and break up with her. Revealing that he doesn't want to take the relationship further, as he isn't looking for anything serious and not wanting to make things get complicated, he exists paradise leaving Caelynn broken-hearted. 

This sudden burst-out of Dean's didn't just leave Caelynn in shock, but the rest of the gang too. No one saw it coming, most assumed he was going to surprise her again. And it was a surprise alright, just not a good one. With Dean now gone from paradise, Caelynn was obviously left in a mushy puddle of tears and wails. And to make matters worse, for Caelynn, everyone gets invited to Krystal and Chris's wedding.

While the rest of paradise were elated to leave paradise and go for a wedding, Caelynn wasn't looking forward to it, because it had been barely a day since Dean had broken up with her. Though she tried to keep herself calm and composed, Caelynn couldn't hide the feelings from her face. But things changed when Connor S turned up alone to the wedding. 

Caelynn had her eyes set on Connor, and for a second she had forgotten about Dean. Later that evening post the wedding, at the afterparty, Caelynn, and Connor had a bonding moment where the two connected and even shared a little makeout session. Next day, much to everyone's surprise Connor enters paradise and takes Caelynn on a date. The two have a steamy moment body painting and creating their own canvas.

Caelynn looked like she was all moved on from Dean, and had nothing keeping her away from Connor, or so we thought. Next week's preview showcases Caelynn and Connor looking happy as ever. While things look like rainbow and sunshine, things are about to go down, and we get to see Dean return to paradise, and this time, he finally gets rid of that horrid mustache. 

He is back and he tries to make amends with Caelynn and get back. But does that really happen? Will Caelynn get back with Dean or will she stay with Connor? Will Caelynn and Connor last? 

By the looks of Tuesday night's episode, Caelynn looks like she is bonding with Connor, and is clearly attracted to him. But is she satisfied with him and into him as much as she was into Dean? She definitely looked stunned to see Dean walk down those stairs again in the preview. The question is will she give him another chance? 

Caelynn has a good connection with Connor, but is it as good as the one she had with Dean? (John Fleenor)

Though at first, she might not forgive him for what he did, Caelynn at the end of the day does have more feelings inclined toward Dean than Connor at the moment. So I'm pretty sure, that even if she does give him a piece of his medicine when he returns, Caelynn will eventually leave Connor and get back with Dean. 

'Bachelor in Paradise' season 6 airs every Monday and Tuesday night on ABC. Check your local listings for more information.
