Bachelorette finale recap: Hannah finally sees what we saw in Jed

Part two of the Bachelorette finale was a wild ride. Find out who (if anyone) Hannah ended up with after tonight’s crazy final episode.

The first half of the Bachelorette finale went about as we expected (well, all of us who weren’t able to avoid the spoilers, anyway). Hannah chose Jed, a dud, and crushed Tyler, the epitome of a perfect husband. Fear not, though, this does have a happy ending.

The finale was a wild ride and it already feels like weeks since Pete was let go. Hannah chose her future husband, found out she wasn’t his first (or second) choice, and is left reeling in the process. The episode began with Tyler, though. It always sucks when you watch your favorite hop out of the limo first.

Tyler coming out first means Jed has won (his words) The Bachelorette. He did it with guitar in hand, of course, making all of this seem just a little worse. There’s nothing else to really touch on in regards to poor Tyler getting dumped.

Here are two tweets that more or less sum up Hannah’s big miss.

The back half of the finale is where the craziness began. Jed is a full-blown word-I-can’t-use-on-here. Let’s just say it rhymes with “truck toy.” Here’s a recap on how it all went down.

Hannah’s break-up with Jed

It took Hannah a while, a few text messages and some online reading for Hannah to catch up to the rest of us but here she is now, fully in the know about Jed’s secret girlfriend Haley and also the other girl he cheated on Haley with.

Jed’s definition of what is and isn’t considered “dating” is a little skewed, to say the least. He hung out with Haley, went on dates with her, went on trips, booked weekends away, received a birthday trip to the Bahamas from her parents and told her he loved her multiple times — once on the night before the show. But in his heart, they weren’t a thing… He explains that one perfectly:

“I ended it in my heart, not verbally.” – Jed after Hannah calling him out for telling Haley he loved her before boarding the plane to L.A.

Oh is that how it works? Well in that case, in my heart, I made the NBA right out of high school. Just not physically.

Jed slept with his girlfriend Haley the night before he left for the show. Yikes, man! He sat through night one, where Scott was kicked off the show for dumping his girlfriend on Monday, still having a girlfriend of his own. Imagine being that naive about your own situation? Here is the actual text from Jed to Haley as he boarded for The Bachelorette:

Hannah quizzed him on Haley (and a few other women he’s been around recently) and he failed miserably, at answering questions and at showing any sort of emotion (the latter was no surprise). Jed kept asking Hannah what he needs to do to move on from this. Jed, buddy… if you have to ask, you aren’t ready to be here. Time to move on, Hannah!

It doesn’t help Jed’s case that he isn’t showing an ounce of emotion through this process. It sucks for Hannah, who doesn’t have the same access to all of the outside news that we do. Jed admitted to being a different person on the show, so she only saw that side of him while we saw all of the bad. (Still not sure how she thought he was a good singer, though.)

After what we watched, Hannah broke it off with Jed over the phone. Her first sit down with him came live on The Bachelorette tonight. He repeated some monotone stuff that he framed as an “apology” and Hannah didn’t take him back, which was the final nail in his coffin between the two of them.

Remember last night when Hannah was all giddy talking to Pete about the windmill sex? Good times. Imagine the “I told you so” conversation Hannah had to have with her mother after all of this went down? That had to be rough.

Imagine if Jed had come out with his guitar? “Hannah, I wrote this song for you.” Ahh, man. Missed opportunity. Hearing him sing a dog food jingle would have actually been better than hearing his long, drawn out ramblings to Hannah.

The return of Tyler

Before Tyler even came out, Hannah was nervous, giddy and maybe hedging her bets a little bit in regards to Tyler. “Obviously, those feelings didn’t go away…” Tyler received a hell of an ovation, rightfully, and it felt like it was a few minutes of applause before he was able to say anything.

Tyler said a bunch of really nice things, as he does, always, and Hannah was ready to take him to the nearest windmill immediately. There are ten minutes left. Something has to happen, right? Are they getting back together? Is Tyler going to propose? Chris Harrison keeps bringing up the break up. STOP IT, CHRIS!

Hannah made everyone happy by asking Tyler out for a drink. (Do you think they talked about this beforehand? I do.) If they end up together, this would mark the second straight season in which a Bachelor/Bachelorette ends up regularly dating a contestant before rushing into engagement. Not a bad road, considering how happy Colton and Cassie look at the moment.

There are a lot of sad ladies out there in Bachelor Nation tonight. It would seem as though Tyler is back off the market.

Congratulations to Hannah on a crazy, intense, powerful, fun, scary, great Bachelorette season, ending with perhaps one of the greatest comebacks of all time. On to Paradise!

Bachelor in Paradise begins on Aug. 5 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC. It will run two nights a week through the rest of the summer.
