Dean Unglert was axed from The Bachelorette on Monday night, after a bizarre hometown date with tears, swearing, mung beans and a Kundalini gong.

The 26-year-old startup recruiter's mother passed away when he was 15, and his father 'abandoned' him shortly afterwards.

Dean hadn't seen his father in two years and it was the first time the whole family had been reunited in eight years for the hometown date.

Dean's dad is now a 'converted Kundalini Sikh' with a name that translates to 'divinely beautiful'.

'It's a self-given name which speaks a little bit to his character,' giggled Dean.

'You will be the first person to meet my entire family under one roof,' he told Rachel, 32, as they entered his father's home in Aspen, Colorado.

There was no table, so they lay on the floor while Dean's dad sounded a gong.

'I kinda like this,' said Rachel as she gobbled some 'sprouted mung beans'.

Dean's father teared up while talking about his deceased first wife and offered a 'symbolic feather' in her memory.

That was followed an awkward one-on-one chat about 'chakras' with Dean and his father, while Rachel was left with his crying sister.

'Dean's been through a lot, and he's always been the strongest person. I admire him so much,' sobbed his sister.

Slouching the floor cushions, Dean wasn't ready to forgive his father for being so absent.

'I was angry, at mom dying,' admitted his father, as the conversation descended into an argument.

'I felt abandoned,' said Dean.

'I know that I'm falling in love with you,' he told the Dallas attorney.

Falling talk:L Dean told Rachel that he was falling in love with her

By the end of all four homecoming dates Rachel was smitten - with all four men.

'I can't imagine them not being a part of my life,' she told Chris Harrison before she ejected Dean.

'I told you I was falling in love with you and you said the same thing,' he protested.

Rachel after saying bye to Dean sat down and took a moment for herself.

'I think she made a mistake,' Dean sighed as his limo pulled away.

During the show Bryan Abasolo was the only man to fully drop the L-Word.

His hometown date was in Miami, Florida.

The 37-year-old chiropractor took her to 'the real Miami' - Domino Park and the Cuban neighborhood.

Bryan, an only child, described his mother as 'a fireball' who didn't gel with his last girlfriend at all.

'That's what tore their relationship apart,' brooded Rachel.

Bryan did his best to reassure his somewhat overbearing mother that Rachel was 'the one'.

But the 'fireball' went in and grilled Rachel.

Serious commitment: The chiropractor's mother reminded Bryan that marriage is a 'very serious commitment'

'Bryan is my life…if you marry him you marry the family too,' she warned.

'If he's happy, I'm happy, if not I'll kill you,' added his mom, as Rachel laughed nervously.

Despite tough odds Rachel managed to win over the matriarch.

Candid conversation: Rachel won over Bryan's mother

'I can tell from her eyes that she is a good person,' said the tearful mother.

'Rachel, I'm in love with you,' professed Bryan later.

The show opened in Eric Bigger's 'rough' hometown of Baltimore, Maryland.

'It's where I learned how to make life happen, without having much,' said the 29-year-old personal trainer.

On the basketball court they met his 'A1' best friend Rob, who said that Eric hasn't brought a girl to his parents place 'since prom'.

'They've never even seen me kiss a girl,' admitted Eric.

'It's pressure,' fretted Rachel.

Verna, Eric's aunt, called Rachel 'joyful' and talked with her about being the first black lead in the Bachelor franchise.

'I'm getting judged by black people and I'm getting judged by everybody else,' said Rachel.

Karen, Eric's mother, was hopeful.

'Overwhelming love came out of my son today,' she sighed.

'I've never been this happy with a girl, ever,' Eric told his father later.

The parents: Eric's parents noted how their shortcomings made him stronger

'It has allowed me to open up as a man,' he added earnestly.

After they left Eric insinuated that he loved Rachel in a round about way.

'Hopefully you feel the same,' he mused.

Toast time: Rachel and Eric were toasted by his family

She didn't offer the L-Word, but said she 'really really' liked him.

Next was Peter Kraus in Madison, Wisconsin where they visited a farmer's market and had lunch with his friends.

The 31-year-old business owner dragged his male chums off for some 'guy time', leaving Rachel alone with the females.

The former model described the thought of proposing as 'f***ing terrifying'.

'I don't know if I'm ready,' he admitted.

'Don't f*** it up,' advised his friend.

Good advice: Friends encouraged Peter to not mess things up with Rachel

At his family home Rachel 'melted' when she saw Peter interacting with his little niece.

Meanwhile he was having a wobbly moment.

Peter admitted to having some reservations while talking to his mother.

Tender moment: Peter interacted adorably with his niece

'There have been a lot of doubts…a lot of fears,' he confided to his mother.

'I have some walls up with Rachel,' he frowned.

Rachel was less than impressed when Peter's mom told her that Peter may be ready for 'commitment', but not necessarily marriage yet.

Warning sign: Peter's mother warned that he might not be ready for marriage

'I don't just want a boyfriend at the end of this, I fear that's all I'll get from him,' she griped.

'I'm not there yet,' he confessed again later.

The Bachelorette continues next week on ABC.
