Rachel went to see Zach and his family in Anaheim, California. They jumped on bikes and rode to a building, where they went to the top to watch planes soar overhead. "This means a lot to me, and you mean a lot to me," Zach said to Rachel.

Zach then brought Rachel home to see his parents, sister, aunt, and uncle, actor Patrick Warburton. Warburton is Zach's mother Megan's brother and one of the relatives introduced by the tech executive to Rachel Recchia in the hometown date episode. The evening concluded with the group watching highlights of Rachel and Zach's journey to date on the show on a projector in the backyard.

Seeing Kronk on screen surely drew attention away from the young couple. Fans took to social media to share their excitement as they wrote, "Rachel talking to Chief Flight Attendant Patrick about flying just feels right #TheBachelorette."

Calling Warburton more entertaining than any other contestant on the show, a fan tweeted, "#TheBachelorette Rachel should just give Patrick Warburton a rose, since he's more entertaining than any of the dudes that's left on the show. #Bachelorette."

Seeing Rachel walk into Zach's family, a fan wrote, "Rachel walking into Patrick Warburton at her hometown #TheBachelorette #TheBachelorettes #bachelorette."

Another fan couldn't help but fangirl over the celeb uncle, "I would ruin this hometown by just fangirling over Patrick Warburton. #bachelorette #TheBachelorette #TheBachelorettes #BachelorNation #BacheloretteABC #TheBacheloretteabc."

Commenting on the actor's humor a fan tweeted, "Kronk: “I flunked out of junior college, and I wasn’t even on drugs” PATRICK IS A BLESSING TO THIS EARTH #TheBachelorette."

Speaking of how it would have made more sense for Zach to feature on ABC's newly launched show 'Claim To Fame,' a fan tweeted, "The dude that has THE Patrick Warburton in his family should've been on #ClaimToFame than #TheBachelorette."

The end credit scene with Rachel and Warburton catching up got fans excited as they wrote: "LMFAO THAT END CREDIT SCENE WITH PATRICK WARBURTON I COULDVE WATCHED 100 MORE MINUTES OF THAT #TheBachelorette."
