Jenn Tran<\/strong><\/a> had two men left to choose from on\u00a0The Bachelorette<\/em><\/a> finale:\u00a0Marcus Shoberg<\/strong><\/a> or\u00a0Devin Strader<\/strong><\/a>. After telling both men she loved them during fantasy suites week, she had a big decision to make during the Tuesday, September 3, episode.<\/p>\n The finale began with the clip that\u2019s been teased all season: Jenn telling someone, \u201cI can\u2019t let you propose to me,\u201d before putting her final rose back on the podium. In between the previously-filmed clips,\u00a0host Jesse Palmer<\/strong> was back in the live studio with updates.<\/p>\n Before bringing the men to meet her mom,\u00a0Trinh<\/strong>, brother\u00a0James<\/strong><\/a>, aunt Lylan<\/strong> and friend Nicole<\/strong>, Jenn spent some quality time with her loved ones. She revealed that she had \u201cequal\u201d feelings for both of them and informed them that Devin had told her he loved her but Marcus didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n Devin was first to meet the family<\/a>. He had a conversation with Lylan and Trinh about race and opened up about how he loves Jenn because he makes her feel seen. He also vowed to always be someone who makes Jenn feel safe and be the man she never had in her life since her father wasn\u2019t around. Trinh and Lylan were admittedly worried about giving Devin their blessing to propose because they thought Jenn needed to be in a longer relationship with someone before settling down. Trinh told her daughter that she thought she and Devin needed more time to understand each other before a proposal.<\/p>\n James took it upon himself to \u201cgrill\u201d the guys because he was playing the role of father figure in the situation. Devin pointed to his and Jenn\u2019s similar upbringings \u2014 growing up without their dads playing a prominent role in their lives \u2014 as a reason to why they\u2019ve gotten so close. James also would not give his blessing to Devin to propose and didn\u2019t feel like he could until he met Marcus first. However, he said he respected the fact that Devin asked.<\/p>\n Devin left the day feeling unsure about where he stood because of Jenn\u2019s family\u2019s concerns, but she assured him that she loved him and told him not to get in his head about it.<\/p>\n Next, it was Marcus\u2019 turn to meet the family. James said he was going into the meeting with an open mind, despite fearing that Jenn was falling for another emotionally unavailable<\/a> man since Marcus hadn\u2019t used the L-word yet. Off the bat, James was concerned that Marcus wasn\u2019t opening up about his feelings for Jenn, even though he \u201cappreciated\u201d that the Army veteran spoke so openly about his difficult past and upbringing<\/a>.<\/p>\n Marcus told Lylan and Trinh that he still wasn\u2019t in love with Jenn but believed that he could get there. He also said he still felt like it was possible for him to get to the point of being ready for an engagement. James admitted to his sister that he \u201cwasn\u2019t sure\u201d about Marcus because he didn\u2019t know if he was giving her the love she needed like Devin was. He said Marcus seemed to \u201cfit the mold\u201d of Jenn\u2019s exes.<\/p>\n After speaking with her family, Jenn knew she had to ask Marcus the tough questions and find out where he was at. Marcus said he felt \u201cprogress\u201d after the day with Jenn\u2019s family but she needed more. He said he wasn\u2019t uncertain about her but was putting pressure on himself to have the family that he never did growing up. After they spoke, Marcus still didn\u2019t say \u201cI love you\u201d and Jenn still didn\u2019t have the answers she wanted.<\/p>\n Jenn went on her final date with Devin in Hawaii. The two took part in a traditional Hawaiian ceremony that was meant to help them let go of the past and embrace the future.<\/p>\n After Jenn opened up about wanting to let go of her fear of abandonment, Devin went into the second part of the date wanting to make sure she knew he\u2019d always be a safe space for her. Devin gifted Jenn with something he was given by the shaman on their first one-on-one date, which meant a lot to her because it represented his commitment to spending the rest of his life with her.<\/p>\n A lot more was riding on Jenn and Marcus\u2019 final date, as she was still waiting to hear that he loved her. She went into the date with more uncertainty in their relationship than ever before. Meanwhile, Marcus told Jesse that he was still \u201cso torn\u201d about whether or not he was in love with Jenn. Jesse urged Marcus to tell Jenn that he loved her if that\u2019s how he was really feeling.<\/p>\n Before the date, Jenn approached Marcus in his hotel room to get the answers she wanted before moving forward. He said he regretted not diving deeper into what he wanted from the future on their overnight date. \u201cI\u2019m struggling, for sure,\u201d he told her, adding, \u201cYou make me want to keep trying. My highest aspiration in life is to find love and start a family. \u2026 I know that my feelings for you are real and that I can picture it with you.\u201d<\/p>\n Jenn pointed out how much she invested in her relationship with Marcus and wasn\u2019t feeling the same reciprocated. Finally, Marcus said, \u201cAt the end of the day, I know that I love you and I want to be the type of person that fights for it. I want to do this with you. I want to give it a try.\u201d<\/p>\n Jenn was still conflicted, though, and needed a minute to process what she wanted to do. Although she finally heard what she wanted to hear from Marcus, she still had a \u201cpit in [her] stomach.\u201d<\/p>\nJenn Tran Introduces Devin to Her Family<\/h2>\n
