BYRON FINDS ROMANCE HIGH IN THE SKY AND DEEP UNDER THE SEA, AS THE STAKES ARE RAISED ON ABC'S "THE BACHELOR," RETURNING WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20

"Episode 604" - Romance is in the air - and under the sea - as Byron gets closer to two more lucky ladies on coveted 'white rose' dates. In the first, Byron and Tanya get drenched as they propel a water car into Newport Beach Harbor. Later they share some intimate moments as they dine by candlelight at the presidential suite at the Balboa Bay Club. In a second romantic getaway, Byron and Elizabeth are whisked away on a helicopter to the Aquarium of the Pacific, where they are joined by some under-the-sea creatures for a dinner below the surface.

The stakes are getting higher as Byron finds himself falling for more than one lady, and all the ladies all falling for Byron. With good intentions, Byron surprises the ladies with a pajama party, but it hits too close to home for one unhappy woman who isn't having any fun. A sexy lap dance leads to an emotional breakdown and a jealous outcry, when yet another contender for Byron's affection loses her composure and gives him a piece of her mind.
