From the looks of The Bachelorette‘s Season 20, Episode 7 preview, someone’s crashing Charity Lawson’s Fantasy Suite Week. But who? Technically we won’t know for sure until tonight, but we’ve got a few guesses — as does Bachelor Nation’s favorite spoiler, Reality Steve.

Ahead of Week 7’s highly-anticipated Fantasy Suites episode — premiering Monday, August 7 on ABC — members of Bachelor Nation are furiously wondering who shows up and surprises Charity during her overnight dates in Fiji. We know someone drops by, because Episode 6 teased a persona exiting a van at Charity’s hotel in Fiji, showed her jaw dropping by the pool, and captured her telling cameras “I can’t believe my eyes, because he’s not supposed to be here.”

So who comes back on The Bachelorette Season 20, Episode 7? And why? Here’s what we know ahead of Fantasy Suite Week.

Who Comes Back On The Bachelorette Episode 7?

Perhaps you’re thinking the surprise guest could be Charity’s brother and BFF, Nehemiah, who already surprised her once on Night 1. It’s possible! But Charity’s reaction gave off more “ex boyfriend surprise” vibes than “fun brother surprise” vibes. Pus, with proposals a week away, Charity’s family will likely join her in Fiji shortly. So Nehemiah is probably patiently awaiting his return to screen.

Another far more cursed thought is that Season 20’s earring-loving villain Brayden Bowers is back AGAIN, because although he left earlier in the season, we’ve already seen him crash production to return once this season. Who’s to say he can’t do it again? But would he? Probably not.

This late in the game there’s likely only one man who’d have strong enough feelings for Charity to endure a very long flight to Fiji in hopes of winning her back: Aaron Bryant, the contestant Charity eliminated in Week 6 after Hometown Dates.

Aaron had been a strong contestant since the start, but ahead of his Hometown Date, both he and Charity expressed concern over the fact that they hadn’t had much alone time since their perfect one-on-one date in Week 2. When it came down to the wire, Charity felt her connections with the three other guys were stronger and further along than her connection with Aaron, so she chose to send him home. But even as she was saying goodbye to him, she made it clear she thought he was wonderful, their connection was strong, and she wasn’t sure if she was making a mistake or not.

Given Charity’s doubt and Aaron’s strong feelings for her post-Hometown Dates, it seems most likely that he’d take a risk and try to get a second chance ahead of proposal week. But let’s see what Reality Steve has to say.

Who Comes Back On The Bachelorette ? Reality Steve Weighs In

If you want to avoid major Bachelorette spoilers for Charity Lawson’s Season 20, consider this your chance to stop reading. But if you’re curious who comes back during Episode 7, we’ve got a Reality Steve rumor below. 

Per Reality Steve, “In between Joey and Dotun’s overnights is when Aaron shows up in Fiji to talk to Charity. Another thing the show spoiled in the preview last week. We see her being surprised as she’s sitting at the pool with producers, and that’s Aaron’s arrival. She does meet Aaron later on that night for a “date,” they just don’t have an overnight. She does not take him back.”

As always, Reality Steve rumors are only rumors until proven otherwise, so we’ll have to tune in to the rest of the season to see how things play out on screen for Charity. But with all the Bachelor in Paradise rumors about Aaron flying, we’re doubtful he winds up with Charity at the end of her season.

New episodes of The Bachelorette Season 20 premiere on Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC. Episodes are available for next-day streaming on Hulu.
