What to Watch on Tuesday: The Bachelorette puts a new spin on hometowns with 4 guys remaining
The Bachelorette
HOW/WHEN & WHERE TO WATCH: 8 p.m. on ABC
It has (almost) literally been forever since we had such a likable final four on The Bachelorette. Sadly, the "journey" will be over tonight for Nayte, Brandon, Rodney, or Joe, after the all-important hometown dates. Because the pandemic is not over (ffs get vaccinated, people!), tonight's "hometowns" will all take place in Minneapolis — so really, only Minnesota Joe gets a true hometown. Still, Michelle's "meet the family" adventure delivers everything we want from a hometown episode: Skeptical relatives! Declarations of "love"! And a glum goodbye to one heartbroken dude. —Kristen Baldwin

Season Finale
After nine episodes of sinkholes, prehistoric animals, and a whole lotta questions, the season 1 finale of La Brea is here with... well, mostly more sinkholes, prehistoric animals, and questions. The penultimate episode saw Eve (Natalie Zea) racing to Topanga to send Isaiah (Diesel La Torraca) — a.k.a. young Gavin (Eoin Macken) — through a portal to 1988 in order to save her kids. Elsewhere Scott (Rohan Mirchandaney) had just found a cow (yes, you read that correctly) and back in the present (forward in the present?), Gavin had tracked down future Lily (Chloe De Los Santos) — a.k.a. Ella (Michelle Vergara Moore) — and they'd discovered that a sinkhole — a.k.a. a portal — was about to open in Seattle. So will Gavin head through said portal to 10,000 B.C.? Will Izzy (Zyra Gorecki) go with him? Will Isaiah make it to his portal in time? Will the cow provide any milk? Like we said, there are a lot of questions going into this finale and we have a funny feeling episode 10 is only going to leave us with more. —Ruth Kinane
