ESTONIA, EUROPE: When Zach Shallcross tested positive for Covid during the fifth episode of 'The Bachelor,' not only was shooting in London halted but he was also compelled to cancel his one-on-one date with contestant Charity Lawson. Charity was given a second opportunity when the group traveled to Estonia in the February 27 episode, where she used her time alone with Zach to open up about her ex and the anguish she felt in the relationship.

Charity was naturally disappointed to miss out on that valuable time with Zach in London, but in episode 6, the two reunited for their date, taking a horse and carriage journey down a cobblestone road, sharing some intense smooches, and talking over a romantic dinner. "I can say I am falling for you," Charity says to Zach during their date. "You have a special way of making me feel really seen and chosen. I feel like I’m the only girl in this world right now," she explains afterward. Though the two appear to develop a powerful bond as the weeks pass, the episode also showed Charity crying as she addressed her abusive relationship in the past.
