Hannah Brown's Visit
Are sparks still flying between Hannah and Peter? That’s apparently what he’s hoping to find out after reuniting with the "Bachelorette" that booted him off the show before the final rose. Understandably, the new ladies vying for his heart are freaking out.
Peter told Good Morning America that seeing Hannah step out of the last limo was “crazy” and “completely unexpected.”
“That door opens and I see a beautiful girl step out. I didn't even realize it was her at first and then as she kinda got closer and I was like 'no way!',” he said.
In the clip, Hannah tells him she’s back to make “decisions for my heart” adding “because I know that there’s something there, and I would do anything for a relationship.” Peter replies by proposing that Hannah returns to be “part of the house.”
The Girls Get Flight Training
While former trailers teased "turbulence," Peter takes his love to the sky as the first group date takes contestants to flight school at the same place he learned how to fly.
"Today we are going to see if any of you have what it takes to be Peter's co-pilot," a C-130 pilot tells the girls in the sneak peek.
The description for the premiere episode reads, “Airline pilot Peter Weber begins his search for love, meeting 30 accomplished women eager to catch his eye; on the first group date, nine women get flight training."
Fast-forward to the end

Peter spoke to GMA and without giving too much away, teased the ending of the season by revealing he's "happy."
"I'm very happy with where I'm at. I did not expect it to go the way it did. I never could have expected it to go that way, but I can say I'm happy," he admits.
