Night 1 of the Season 26 two-night finale brought the Bachelor some clarity after the \u201crose ceremony from hell\u201d and introducing the women to his family. But with that clarity comes terrible heartbreak for Rachel and Gabby.<\/p>\n<p>It took Clayton losing Susie during their Fantasy Suite date to realize that she is \u201cthe one\u201d for him. But could she possibly return his affection after what he said? And what does that mean for his relationships with Rachel and Gabby?<\/p>\n<p>Host Jesse Palmer had several surprises in store for the show\u2019s live studio audience, from emotional reunions to a new relationship and the announcement of who will lead <em>The Bachelorette<\/em> Season 19!

Jesse arrives to chat with Susie, who is still very emotional from her breakup with Clayton.

Seeing more of Clayton\u2019s side of the story helped put some pieces together, but that didn\u2019t make it hurt any less. She hoped for the best-case scenario (getting engaged to Clayton) but was always preparing for the worst, which ended up happening.

She loved the person he was when he was with her, but that all changed in Iceland.<\/p>\n<p>Clayton joins the pair on the couch, reuniting with Gabby for the first time since their breakup. Jesse opens up the floor to Gabby first, who states that she felt misled throughout the last weeks of watching it back. She feels betrayed, and Clayton can do nothing but apologize over and over for his actions. She knows he\u2019s not a bad person, but the chances she gave him to be open and honest weren\u2019t taken.
