Viewers who avoid franchise spoiler news might be confused by the teaser, as Adams has been at the center of widely circulated reports that suggest the former star, who hails from Colton Underwood's 2019 season of The Bachelor (and the subsequent Bachelor in Paradise cycle), steps in to lead this season of The Bachelorette after the current star, Clare Crawley, exits early after finding love.
"This might be a short season!" she says at one point.
Earlier in the episode, Crawley sends home contestant Zach Jackson after she says she is triggered by his behavior during their one-on-one date.
During Tuesday's one-on-one date, Crawley goes to kiss Jackson, but stops when she interprets him as pulling away.
Jackson insists he was not pulling away and, multiple times, grabs her face and attempts to kiss her again to no avail.
Crawley is seen visibly uncomfortable and pulling away.
If I want to walk away because I'm uncomfortable, let me walk away," says Crawley to the camera.
Harrison later steps in to tell Jackson that Crawley won't be attending the rest of the date, and he sends him home.
The group date, which saw the losing team walk home completely naked, was the subject of viewer criticism over the "double standard" of Crawley laying out the game rules. "If this was a Bachelor season, no way this happens, no way they get away with it, no way it's appropriate, no way this just becomes a weekly topic," said former Bachelor star Ben Higgins on his Almost Famous podcast
"They push the envelope every season, but this felt like a lot." Crawley responded to the criticism by sharing a photo on Twitter of contestants from her Bachelor season posing nearly naked for a group challenge
As for next week's episode, Crawley will have to continue to defend her relationship with Moss to the rest of her contestants, who threaten to walk out on Tuesday night
