AUSTIN, TEXAS: Among the final four women on 'The Bachelor' Season 27, Zach Shallcross and Kaity Biggar appear to have the closest bond, but a sneak peek at their forthcoming hometown dates casts doubt on their assumed romance. In the ABC sneak preview for 'hometown,' Zach doesn't seem to be able to confess his affection for Kaity.

'The Bachelor' hometown episode is one of the most important in reality television. This is the moment when the show goes from a small drama to a big drama. Now everyone can see who is actually on the show to fall in love or to win the next Bachelorette title. Not to mention you get to see some of the most awkward family gatherings of all time.

Kaity's mother expresses her concern to Zach

In a video posted by ABC, Zach and Kaity's body language reflects their intimacy as the Canadian's family is introduced to 'The Bachelor' star. But when Zach can't force himself to tell Kaity's mother whether he loves her or not, doubts start to emerge. Kaity's mother comments, "Seeing you two in there today, I could see in her eyes that she was very smitten with you. So it was really concerning, because a previous relationship wasn’t maybe the best experience. And I guess I just wanted to see where you are."

In response to her mother's question, "Are we saying possibly that think you might be falling in love with Kaity?" Zach says, "I’m at this point where I can 100% see a future with Kaity." His answer doesn't give her much hope. He adds, "I can tell you this: I can absolutely see myself falling in love with her."

With only a few episodes remaining in the season and in light of the landmark hometown date, one would expect that Zach was already in a committed relationship with, or at the very least, falling for, the woman who has been the front-runner throughout the entire season. But based on his remarks, it appears that for him, it hasn't yet started. Kaity herself gives the impression that she has found affection.

In the video, she tells the cameras, "There is that possibility, I have Zach come into my life, I’m head-over-heels in love with him, and then he leaves. I don’t know if I can deal with another man walking out of my life."

Will the computer executive and the traveling nurse, who both originally come from Austin, Texas, go from tentatively falling in love to actually falling in love? Find out as ABC continues to air 'The Bachelor' in Season 27 every Monday.
