The Bachelor in Paradise season 4 premiere focuses on the show’s scandal. Here’s how you can watch Season 4, Episode 1 live, on TV and online.

When Bachelor in Paradise premieres Monday on ABC, the series is devoting a huge chunk of the first episode to the scandal between Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson.

The Bachelor in Paradise season 4 premiere will be split into two parts, and Monday’s “Episode 401A” features Bachelor host Chris Harrison directly addressing viewers about the incident involving Corinne and DeMario that stopped production. Fans will also see Harrison telling the cast about the incident and the shutdown.

But that doesn’t mean Bachelor in Paradise is stopping its shenanigans, oh no. The first part of a two-part Bachelor in Paradise season 4 debut also includes one contestant stealing another one’s crush, someone angsting over a personal problem, and somehow, Santa Claus and a penguin. We’ll let you figure out how that factors in.

Here’s how ABC officially describes the episode:

"One of the most shocking and dramatic seasons in Bachelor Nation history begins with host Chris Harrison explaining that production had to be suspended. Later, a beloved bartender from seasons past tearfully tells the new arrivals news that will change Paradise forever.Later, Harrison announces a new twist that poses a threat to the men. One distressed damsel is crushed when the dude she finds dreamy is asked out on a date by another woman to whom she had previously confessed her crush. One bikini-boasting babe finds herself torn between Santa Claus and a penguin.Meanwhile, an unfortunate female receives some sad news that sends her packing for home, with the hope of returning. But will the boy she bonded with be able to find a way of staying in Paradise without her rose?Two runners-up from previous seasons hook up for a date that involves some wet and wild fun in the sun. But by episode’s end, will Paradise be closed for good, or will one of the best parts of summer be saved?"
