Buckle up, Bachelor Nation! Joey Graziadei is officially jetting off to Hometown Dates with his final four women on The Bachelor.

After an emotional, high-pressure week in the woods of Jasper National Park, the 28-year-old lead gained the clarity he needed to give Daisy Kent, Kelsey Anderson, Maria Georgas, and Rachel Nance the most meaningful roses of the season. Now he’s headed to explore their hometowns, meet loved ones, and see which three relationships can progress to Fantasy Suite Week.

ABC’s official Hometown Week episode synopsis is as follows: “An excited and anxious Joey makes his way to the hometowns of his four incredible remaining women. It’s a week that could change everything as he meets their families and has important conversations about what the future may hold for each of them.”
