"Just One Lady"
Recap By Marlena Montpetit
August 11, 2004
So this episode starts off with us seeing the three of them ride off to the next camp. Natalie loves the ride and Marissa doesn't wanna come down. Jack I think is just happy that the two of them are there with him.
Marissa tells us that she feels like Jack will pick her in the end, and Natalie is just happy because she is one step closer to getting the only thing she wants...which is Jack!
They get off the balloon ride and the two girls have no idea where they are hiking to for their last camp. Jack knows though, when they get over a hill, the girls discover that the camp is set up on a beautiful lush beach. The setting on a perfect postcard.
Natalie says it's the most beautiful and romantic place she has ever seen and it would only be better if Marissa was 20,000 miles away.
That day they spend altogether on the beach just relaxing and having a good time, until Marissa steps on a huge rock in the ocean and cuts her foot open. Natalie thinks she might have done it on purpose, because Marissa gets extra attention every time something happens to her. Just like on queue, Jack scoops her up and carries her to a chair to mend her foot. Geez surprise, surprise!! Next morning, Jack hears the girls scream and he forgot that the winds on the beach can be very strong! The girls tent looks like it is about to blow away, and Natalie says she feels like Dorothy, who's gonna be blown away from Kansas!!
The next day, JD tells them that each of them are going to be getting a special one on one date that will last the whole day, this is their last time to be alone with Jack, so JD says make it count!
Marissa's date is up first and they go right away, they get into a small plane that lets them off somewhere else in the water and they go snorkeling around the waters looking for fish, stingrays, etc. I didn't see a lot of fish viewing, I seen a lot of kissing in the water!
Next they go onto the beach and have a great meal, they enjoy each others company and do a lot of talking and yes! More kissing!!
After that, they go to another beach and there is a spread of blankets and pillows and wine, a very romantic setting to end the evening, and again they curl up and spend more "alone" time together.
Natalie is at camp all by herself wondering what is going on with their date, they return and they let her know what they did and then the three of them go to bed.
Next day is Natalie's turn, they hop on ATV's and go zooming down the beach to their destination, halfway there Natalie decides she doesn't wanna ride alone anymore and hopes on with Jack because that is where she wants to be.
They get to the beach and it is a perfect setting, they eat some lunch and Jack is snacking on everything, but Natalie finds her favorite food, Brie and eats every piece! She must have been stuffed, but she is funny as she deemed herself "The Brie Whore". She kills me sometimes!
Next they go kayaking to their next destination; well actually Jack does the paddling the Natalie sits telling him what a good job he has done. When they get to the beach, it is dark and they have an amazing candlelight dinner waiting for them, and again a resting place with pillows. Natalie tells him she is right where she wants to be, and doesn't want the date to end, Jack agrees.
Marissa is back at camp really upset that Jack is off with someone else, the 2 of them come back and Marissa is mocking the fact that Jack always calls Natalie, Princess by telling her "princess its time for bed cuz you look tired". I think some jealousy showed through there.
Jack goes to bed because he knows he has a bad day tomorrow with the toughest decision of his life.
Next day, JD gives both the women one last chance to talk to Jack, and they both pretty much tell him the same thing, they have fallen for him, want him to be happy and they just hope they can continue on with him.
They will now go to separate parts of the beach, and Jack will tell them what the decision is. First up is Marissa, he explains to her that she is a special person to him and always will be, there has been chemistry since day one, it almost sounds like he is gonna pick her, but then he tells her that it is someone else that he has chosen because its someone else who has his heart. She gives him a last hug and kiss goodbye and then Jack walks away to go find Natalie. Marissa tells us she is truly heartbroken, she really thought she was the one, she just feels numb right now.
When Jack goes to Natalie, you can see the sparks right away, she is nervous as she thinks she is in love with him, and the chemistry is there, he looks at her a different way than the others. He tells his "Princess" that he has chosen her to continue with because being around her is all he wants to do. He explains there are some loves that grow over time and others just happen and the love he feels for Natalie just happened and gets stronger and better every moment. She is sooo happy, she lets out a little squeal of excitement and she is in his arms where she wants to stay. She asks him what they are gonna do and he points to a huge boat on the water. As they walk down the beach, he scoops her up in his arms to carry her to the boat! Pure gentleman!!
The show ends with Natalie and Jack on the boat together, almost fairytale like. It's the way it should be, or at least I think so. Jack says "He can finally give all of himself to one lady, just like he wanted, he is very happy".
The End
I had to add "The end" cuz as I said I feel like it was a story, a fairytale.....okay never mind! I just get too wrapped up in this stuff!!
Hope you enjoyed the show as much as me!!
