Farmer Brandon had his second-to-last solo date on 'Farmer Wants a Wife,' and Wisconsin's Grace Girard finally got a tractor ride

Warning: Spoilers ahead from Episode 8 of Fox's "Farmer Wants a Wife" Season 2 that aired on Thursday, April 4.

Wisconsin's Grace Girard and her fellow daters (finally!) got tractor rides from Farmer Brandon Rogers on Thursday's installment of "Farmer Wants a Wife." But before that, Rogers went on his second-to-last solo date of the season.

Last week, all four farmers each brought a new dater back to their farms. The original daters' reactions? Across the board. 

Grace and Joy, however, met Rogers' newest dater, Emerson, with much grace and joy.

Later, all of the farmers and their daters went on a group camping trip to South Carolina.

After feeling threatened by Emerson, Girard told Rogers that she was falling for him. And, it couldn't have gone better.

The farmers were gearing up to pick who would accompany them on their next one-on-ones, which went down on this week's episode.

Who did Rogers choose? And, where's his head at? Here's a recap:

Joy feels Brandon Rogers has 'lost complete interest' in her

Thursday's episode opened on the final morning of the camping trip.

"I feel like this has been more natural than most mixers," Rogers said to Girard. "We've had the freedom to kind of talk to everybody and hang out, and do what we want."

During the getaway, the two of them got to share some special time together.

Backed by an emot-ional music track, Joy said in a confessional that she thinks Rogers has "lost complete interest" in her. She could tell Rogers wants to build connections with his other daters instead.

Rogers' last solo date with Joy was a hard watch. Joy felt it "did not go well at all" and that she said some things she "probably shouldn't have." It left Rogers with "reservations and concerns."

"I didn't really get to talk to Brandon much on this camping trip," she said. "He didn't even look my direction."

Who did Farmer Brandon choose for his second-to-last solo date?

For his second-to-last solo date Rogers picked (drum roll, please) Emerson. But, at least both of his other daters — who have been there since the beginning — got one-on-ones previously.

"I would really like to get this girl alone where she can be comfortable with me," Rogers said.

Close your ears, Grace. In a cutaway, Rogers called Emerson "very attractive" and "sweet," and said the solo date will let them take "that next step."

Farmer Ty picked newcomer Ashley for his solo date, despite one of his original daters, Brooke, still not getting one yet. Farmer Nathan chose Mackenzie, who recently returned after leaving at the beginning of the season for a family emergency. Farmer Mitchell chose Sydney, one of his original daters, for some "well-deserved" quality time over newest dater Natalie.

Farmer Brandon's solo date with Emerson

Back home in Colorado, Rogers took Emerson to hot springs for their date. And, it got a bit steamy.

"Emerson and I have a physical connection, but I'm hoping that this date really opens up an emotional connection a little bit stronger than there already is," Rogers said.

"I hope this date goes very well because I like Brandon a lot," Emerson said. "I've not been in love before. That's a big thing for me. And, I deserve love. Love makes it worth it."

After changing into swimming suits and fluffy white robes, the two got on into the water. They sipped champagne while talking about the agriculture classes Emerson took in college. From there, the conversation got deeper.

Rogers asked Emerson for a big, influential moment she experienced in her life. She opened up to Rogers about her dad having a major stroke within the last couple of years.

"He's doing really well now," she said. "Something that I learned was, like, just never take time with your loved ones for granted or the people you enjoy."

Being "a family person" shows who Emerson is "in her heart," Rogers said in a cutaway.

Next, Rogers hit her with: "What is your love language?"

"Ooo, take a gamble. You've known me for like about a week," she said with her hand resting on his thigh.

"Physical touch," he said, laughing.

He got it. And, the two got pretty darn flirty.

Close your ears and cover your eyes, Grace.

While wrapping up their date, Rogers told Emerson he really enjoyed their time together and thanked her as he went in for a kiss.

"There's definitely attraction," Rogers said in a confessional. "It was a great date and I think we had a good time. She kind of got to settle in to an extent and be a little more comfortable and genuine about who she is. So, hopefully this date that I thought went well really reassured her that I want her to be here ... And that she can be comfortable."

"My feelings with Brandon have grown today," Emerson said. "I did, in fact, get butterflies. It's been a while. So, something's there."

Farmer Brandon's daters (finally) got tractor rides

Girard, Joy and Emerson sat on haybales as Rogers pulled up in a big, green tractor. Rogers' daters hyped him up as he got out.

"The girls have wanted to go on a tractor ride since Day 1," he said in a cutaway.

But, who would get picked for the first ride?

"How's the tractor?" Girard asked Rogers as he got closer.

"Are you ready to go for your ride, Grace?" he asked with a laugh.

"I am, Brandon," she replied, confidently.

The two held hands as they made their way over to the tractor. During the ride, the two of them laughed together as they joked around about the tractor and whether or not Rogers stunk.

"Grace and I have a great connection," Rogers said in a confessional. "It's very fun, and it's very flirty. And, she's kind and caring."

Joy was up next. She and Rogers had some fun banter back-and-forth, too. Despite their "missed connection" on their previous date, Rogers said in a cutaway, he thinks there's still room to grow.

When it was time for Emerson's turn, Rogers walked with his arm around her and she gripped his hand.

"Emerson, get off our man!" Girard joked as Joy laughed.

In a confessional, Rogers said he has a great energy with Emerson and described his physical connection to her as "profound."

"I wonder how their vibe is," Girard said to Joy while Rogers and Emerson were away in the tractor.

"I do, too. I really do," Joy replied.

"Come on, guys! Hurry up, guys!" Girard said as Emerson's ride continued on.

"Since Emerson's come along, there's been a little bit of a dynamic shift," Girard said in a cutaway.

Farmer Brandon Rogers could choose to send a dater home during dinner

At dinnertime, the farmers could choose to send one of their daters home.

"My concern with Joy is that she's maybe lacking a little bit in the emotional connection," Rogers said in a confessional.

While Rogers and his posse sat around the table, they raised their glasses and Girard thanked them for an awesome week.

"On that note, I'm going to have a little sip and then ask Joy to go out and have a little chat," Rogers announced. "No pressure, huh."

The preview for the next episode shows Rogers and Joy crying together. So, that can't be good. And, it looks like the remaining daters will be meeting their potential future in-laws. The pressure is on.
