A previously released preview clip from the finale showed Viall’s dad, Chris, expressing his concern that Grimaldi could break his son’s heart. “I really could feel her emotion, but it was a little bit of fear that she could hurt Nick,” Chris tells the camera. Another promo promised that the ATFR will include a mysterious “Bachelor first.” A show source previously told Us Weekly that this season’s ATFR is “awesome.”
