'The Bachelor' Meets The Parents

ET has your sneak peek as "The Bachelor"'s Jason Mesnick makes a hometown visit with Naomi -- and meets up with a dead dove.

"The Bachelor" is down to the final four: Jillian, 29, an interior designer from Peace River, Alberta, Canada; Melissa, 25, a sales representative from Dallas, TX; Molly, 24, a department store buyer from Grand Rapids, MI; and Naomi, 24, a flight attendant from Carlsbad, CA.

On next Monday's episode, as Jason makes his hometown visits, Jillian's family secret is revealed; Molly's quirky and conservative family puts the Bachelor to the test; Naomi is mortified by the turn of events on one of the most bizarre hometown dates ever -- when her mother asks Jason to perform the eulogy at the funeral of a dove, and a huge disappointment awaits Jason when Melissa's parents fail to meet him.

Family is very important to the single father, so the impressions these ladies' loved ones make on him leaves him confused as he ponders the decision as to which one of the women will be sent home and which three will accompany him to New Zealand where they will each get individual dates with the Bachelor.

"The Bachelor" airs Monday nights at 8 p.m. on ABC.
