She also mentioned wanting to have children within two years. Grant told his father, Robert, that he would prefer to wait longer.
"If you love the person, don’t let one little issue stop the show," Robert said.
Later, Juliana met the family. When asked about her feelings, she shared:
"Grant and I have not told each other we love each other."
She explained that she was holding back because of the weight of these words. Juliana eventually told Grant she loved him after he said it first. She also said that an "engagement means forever" to her. Grant continued to feel unsure. He added that he went to bed last night thinking he knew what he wanted, but woke up and realized that he "still" couldn't figure out.
"Both women are on their way here right now. I really need to know which one to send first," Jesse Palmer told Grant.

He added that he had not expected to feel unsure and admitted that he had spoken too early.

"I know I deserve someone [who knows] without a shadow of a doubt that they’re going to choose me," she shared.
Juliana joined Grant on stage and said that their whole journey’s felt a bit like a "fever dream." The couple got engaged and shared that they plan to move to Boston.
