SPOILER ALERT! This article contains details for Monday's episode of ABCThe Bachelorette.

There are only 10 men left in the running for the love of Charity Lawson, and things are looking up. warm.

After a quick trip to San Diego last week, the band swapped sunny California to head northward Washington. But, their tensions followed them. The men aren't willing to so easily forget the ongoing drama with Brayden, who continues to make waves around the house and is on thin ice with Charity. They can only hope that a week will pass without distractions so they can spend more time with her.

The first one-on-one date goes to Dotun. It's no surprise since last week he told Charity she was a "soul mate" after they both expressed excitement about getting to know each other better. Moments later, Dotun's tank arrives - a neon yellow Jeep driven by Charity herself.

Just watch Charity walk out the driveway with another man to send the rest of the group in a spiral. Several of them say they are disappointed that they haven't had a one-on-one yet, but apparently their connection isn't enough for Brayden - who privately wonders how these men can feel anything for Charity when they haven't spent as much time with her as he has. "They don't know her favorite color," he thinks.

At this point, he doesn't seem to be trying to make friends anymore. In his confessional, he tells the camera that he has arguably the strongest bond with Charity. He even knows his favorite color (which, FYI, is blue).

Charity and Dotun are unbothered as they venture into the woods to jump from A bridge. Literally! The couple bungee jump from one of the tallest bridges in North America, but at least they're doing it together. Charity is a little freaked out before the big jump, and she cries on camera talking about her fears. Love can't conquer everything, but it's enough to send them to the edge of the bridge. And once they got over the anxiety, they were amplified enough to start all over again.

Back at the cabin, an appointment card arrives. Charity summons Joey, Aaron, Michael, Caleb, Brayden, Sean, Tanner, and John for the group date. Looks like Xavier has the honor of having a one-on-one this week.

Charity and Dotun spend the night portion of the date making s'mores - the very first from Dotun! He calls falling in love with Charity "scary in the best possible way" because he can see the two of them fostering a genuine romantic connection. He entrusts her with his childhood and his immigration to the United States. Meanwhile, Charity reciprocated by becoming vulnerable from growing up in suburban Georgia, where she says few people looked like her.

Natural...
