Warning: Major spoilers ahead!
Janette meets Bear's family
It was no secret that Janette had been struggling to open up, missing multiple opportunities to tell Bear how deeply she felt for him.
As Janette readied to meet Bear's family including his sons and brother, Janette worried that only more pressure would mount.
Bear's brother Tim puts Janette in the hotseat
After warm introductions, Bear's brother Tim started his quiz.
'Why are you here? What are you looking for? When was your divorce? Why did you divorce? Have you found love?'
"I won't say I love him at the moment," she answered.
"Right. Why?" Tim replied.
She felt it was too soon and stumbled through an answer about her feelings, but left disappointed in how it went.
Even still, Bear's family were certain Janette would "fit right in".
Sunny meets the family
Then it was Sunny's turn!
While Sunny's had never been shy about her feelings, Bear's concern were with her only being single for about six months.
Bear's sons Charlie and Jack grill Sunny
This time, it's Charlie and Jack who pull Sunny away for a chat – and they definitely learned some tips from their uncle about how to interrogate.
Charlie and Jack question Sunny
Charlie and Jack question Sunny on what it is she likes about Bear.
For the first time ever we saw Sunny rattled.
Charlie thought Sunny "could definitely be a risk" but she won the boys over with her honesty saying she'd "fallen in love" with Bear.
Janette and Bear go on a final safari date
As their final meeting before the finale, Janette and Bear are off on a dream date – a wildlife safari.
They spotted zebra, elephants, buffalos, giraffe, hippos and lions so majestic they brought her to tears.
Janette and Bear go on a final safari date
Afterwards, Janette and Bear settled around a fire pit for some quality time together.
While her walls were still up she made some space to tell Bear how she really felt.
"Love is a big word for me and I don't say it very easily because it's not a word, it's a feeling... when I say it, it's from the heart and that's big for me," she said.
"So I'm falling for you."
Sunny's final date
On Sunny's final date she and Bear swam with penguins - at least that was the plan.
Sunny was so terrified by the moving penguins she pretty much clung to Bear the whole time.
At the end she declared her love for Bear yet again.
"I think you are the one for me," she said. "I'm in love."
Bear makes his final decision
It was finally time for Bear to choose between Janette and Sunny.
"Everything's become very clear to me and I realised, for the first time in a very long time that I'm in love," he said.
