VALLARTA, MEXICO: This season of 'Bachelor in Paradise' has been filled with surprising twists, departures, and love triangles. With proposals on the horizon, some relationships will thrive, while others may crumble under the strain.

'Bachelor in Paradise' is back, but it won't be long before Mondays and Tuesdays on an island paradise in Mexico are empty and bachelor-free. The big finale is only a little more than a week away. Meanwhile, see what happens when the show returns for the second time this week. Continue reading to learn more about the show's inaugural Sadie Hawkins Dance.

In the episode preview, Thomas Jacobs and Becca Kufrin announce their return to Mexico to organize "the first annual Sadie Hawkins in Paradise." "Will the ‘90s-themed evening be a fun night out for the tropical lovebirds or is heartbreak on the horizon?" ABC teases. The ladies must invite the men, as is traditional for a Sadie Hawkins dance. And, based on the promo shots, they go all out.

"Tyler from the New Jersey Shore, I would want nothing more than for you to join me on the dance floor," Brittany Galvin says as she emerges from a ball pit to ask Tyler Norris out.

Victoria Fuller tells Johnny DePhillipo, as she unveils a chalkboard checklist, "I know how much you love checklists." "Will you go to the dance with me?" says the last item on the list.

Aaron Clancy looks down to the shore and sees Genevieve Parisi, accompanied by a mariachi band, and asks, "Will you go to the dance with me?" The night, however, "kind of turned to s***," as Genevieve describes in the video.

The Sadie Hawkins Dance is most likely an allusion to Becca proposing to Thomas rather than the other way around. They should serve as a reminder to everybody that relationships built in Paradise may work, even if they don't have a typical conclusion on the show. We saw it with Jared and Ashley, but their appearance lasted far longer than anybody wanted or needed.

'Bachelor in Paradise' airs on ABC on Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 pm.
