The opening scene of episode 5 of Farmer Wants a Wife saw Samantha wanting to express her feelings to John in a private chat. She said that although he had the qualities she wanted in her life partner, she suspected he was not the right match for her. While Samantha explained that she liked to take the lead in relationships, she was doubtful if John preferred the same.

Since their ideologies clashed, the pair concluded it was best to end things. Consequently, Samantha said goodbye and left the show. During a confessional, John expressed his disappointment, but admitted that it would give him the space to interact with the other women. Claire, in particular, was relieved to hear about Samantha's exit as it allowed her a chance to speak with John.

Elsewhere, T'yana and Karina wondered if their disagreement had impacted their relationship with Jay. When T'yana said that she felt isolated and ignored, Jay pulled her aside for a one-on-one conversation to assure her that he was pleased to have her around and wanted to explore more of their connection.

In the meantime, Zoe grabbed Colton for a chat, opening up about her dream to become an anesthesiologist. Contrary to the Farmer Wants a Wife star's expectations, Colton was impressed with her ambition and clarified that he was not looking for a stay-at-home wife. While speaking to the cameras, Colton shared that he was attracted to Zoe, but also drawn to Bailee.

As the Farmer Wants a Wife barn came to an end, the men were tasked with choosing their solo dates. While Colton decided to give Zoe a chance, Matt picked Alexandra as his date. John selected Kaylee because of her openness, and Jay picked Karina, pleased with her willingness to show him her vulnerability.

The following morning, Farmer Wants a Wife stars John and Kaylee headed out for their date at the golf course. During their date, Kaylee opened up about her past relationship, noting she put in much effort and gave too much love, but never received any.

However, when she mentioned she wanted a partner who could reciprocate and handle her emotions, John worried about hurting her as the experiment progressed because he believed she had a fragile heart.

Elsewhere, Colton showed Zoe around his town of Mena, Arkansas. Although the pair enjoyed their time, trying on necklaces and boots, Colton thought that moving to Mena would negatively impact Zoe's dreams. When he asked her about relocating, Zoe surprised him by saying she was open to change. He then excitedly informed her about the job openings for her position.

Meanwhile, Farmer Wants a Wife star Matt told Alexandra about his previous girlfriend, and Alexandra said that she had married quite young. She added that she got divorced after five years of marriage. The pair then discussed their expectations regarding having children. Alexandra said she wanted two to three children or more if she became a stay-at-home mother.
