JUPITER, FLORIDA: Despite having a slow start with Johnny DePhillipo, 'The Bachelorette' star Gabby Windey surprised everybody when she picked him for her hometown date. Johnny played the role of a gracious host and took Gabby around Florida. After having a gala time on their date, Johnny finally took her home to meet his family.

Johnny's mother and father instantly took to Gabby and gave their blessings. They felt that the ICU nurse was the perfect woman for their son. Unfortunately, while Johnny's parents were confident about Gabby and him, Johnny, on the other hand, began questioning his future with her. Johnny revealed to his parents that he wasn't ready to get engaged at that point in his life. Though his father tried pointing out to him that Gabby and he could work it out together and make a great couple, he appeared reluctant to take their advice. Sadly, Gabby was completely oblivious to Johnny's hesitation to take their relationship to next level and began planning for her future with him.
