Nick in Milwaukee: Andi starts her hometown visits in Milwaukee where Nick, who has been one of her favorites since the first night, treats her to a true taste of the city, complete with a tour of a brewery, sipping a special beer named after the couple and some energetic polka dancing. But the real test comes when Andi is introduced to Nick's very large family - all 17 of them!

As for Andi, she's grilled by Nick's nine-year-old sister, Bella, who ultimately gives her approval.

Chris in Iowa: Andi travels to Arlington, Iowa-population less than 800-to visit Chris, the handsome and extremely successful farmer whose charming manner has proved an aphrodisiac to the Bachelorette.
