Later that night, after everyone's had a chance to clean up, there's a cocktail party. Becca wears a STUH-UH-UNNING red pantsuit. Hot. Right away, Lincoln asks to if they can have some alone time, and this also pisses the guys off and oh my God what babies. You will get your time! Go enjoy your two-drinks-per-hour free booze and relax.
Anyway, Lincoln makes the most of his time with Becca by telling her that he feels like he can be himself around her. She rewards this with a framed "wedding" photo from his victory. He's so excited, he asks if he can kiss her again now that they're not covered in cake and mud. They make out, and then he brags about his new picture to the other guys. Connor deems this to be "childish."
To be fair, Lincoln is being a little obnoxious—but not enough to warrant what happens next: Connor get so mad at Lincoln he takes the framed photo and tosses it across the room. Lincoln picks it up and puts it back on the table, flat, so Connor reacts by throwing it through a window into the pool. Uh, I'm with Lincoln so far on this. Is it because he's very attractive? Possibly, but also Connor's being a lil brat.
Jordan calls Connor's move "epic," which again tells me I'm on the right side of this. Lincoln, however, doesn't fight back because he was "raised better." He's just bummed because he was looking forward to showing his mom the picture. (Uhhh, sure.)
Elsewhere, Jean Blanc and Becca cuddle under a blanket and bond. They make out.
The positive vibes don't last for long: Lincoln tells Becca what happened with Connor and says he feels physically threatened. It's a lame move for two reasons: One, being a tattle tale never ends up well on this franchise. And two, I don't believe Lincoln, who is twice Connor's side, is actually scared of this guy.
Still, Becca agrees that Connor's reaction was aggressive, so she pulls him aside to talk about it. His excuse: "I just got rid of it." She understands why it would be irritating to see that picture, but she wants a guy who can be respectful and handle himself well. Connor claims this side of himself "is not me" even though, uh, it is you because you literally just did it. Becca's like, dude, it's too early to behave like this.
Connor sits moodily in a dark room complaining that he's lost his chance at the group date rose. And it's true: That honor goes to Jean Blanc.
The next day, Lincoln CRIES while he tells the other men what happened. Apparently seeing the broken frame "broke his heart." Some of the guys think these are crocodile tears—and Jordan even calls into question Lincoln's accent. Jordan, if you want to hear a real fake accent, go watch Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
No time to unpack that further, though, because it's time for Becca's one-on-one date with Blake. She's nervous because it's her first big solo date since being engaged, so she lets Chris Harrison handle all the plans. Turns out, he can set up a pretty good date: Becca and Blake arrive at a warehouse filled with random things connected to Arie—a racing car, monitors playing his proposal, the actual damn couch he broke up with Becca on—and they get to destroy them all.
