Lovetown, USA
Aired: 10/08/2012
During the final week of the Lovetown experiment, Paul and Kailen make it their mission to get local churches more involved. After meeting with pastors, Paul uncovers a serious divide among the churches and gets them to agree to participate in an all-inclusive worship event.
Then, the Lovetown singles and their dates take a trip to Cumberland Island. If they choose, the couples can spend the night with each other at nearby St. Simons Island. On the island, Ron and Anya strive to push their relationship to the next level, while Charles nearly sabotages everything he and Franchesca have established. Martina worries her date might be too affectionate for her liking, and Dan gets to know his date, Peace. Paul checks in on the couples at the end of the trip and finds that things aren't exactly as he had expected. Ron is still hesitant to make a commitment to Anya, while Charles and Franchesca agree to be exclusive. Dan takes Kailen's advice and ends up having a great first date with Peace. Aired: 10/01/2012
Despite his decision to date another woman, Ron tells matchmakers Paul and Kailen he wants a second chance with Anya. Anya agrees to spend an evening with Ron at Justin's Miracle Field, and together they help disabled children experience the joys of baseball.
Meanwhile, Kailen helps transform a donated building in downtown Kingsland into a meeting space for local charities, and Paul sits down with an estranged mother and daughter to help them heal. Paul also answers a call from Alex, a local teen, who's experiencing discrimination at his church after coming out as bisexual. Paul offers words of encouragement and promises to help repair this issue. Then, Dan gets set up on a date unlike any he's had before—a night out with Kailen. During their heart-to-heart, Kailen helps him get to the root of his issues with women. Finally, the community and the singles—including new couple Franchesca and Charles—come together at the Heart & Soul BBQ. Aired: 10/01/2012
Oprah returns to Kingsland to find out how focusing on love for the past 30 days has changed the town. The series has been building to a final night at the Loveball.
The singles have been the focus of this experiment: Can they love themselves enough to open up to love with another person? Franchesca decides it's time to introduce her daughter to Charles. The stakes are high for this devoted single mom. At Lovetown Headquarters, Dan—the single best known for dating drama—admits that he's asked two women to the Loveball. Then, Ron reveals that he's not ready to make a commitment to Anya. As the Lovetown experiment comes to an end, the town buzzes with excitement. Dressed to impress, everyone gathers for one last celebration. Before the party gets started, Oprah takes a moment to talk to those affected most by this experiment and has a heart-to-heart with Anya. Finally, Oprah toasts Lovetown and concludes the experiment with a spectacular fireworks show! Aired: 09/24/2012
Our lonely hearts learn their next journey will take them on a day trip to Savannah, Georgia. Some hit it off with their dates instantly, while others are in for a long ride.
Love coaches Paul Brunson and Kailen Rosenberg hold Martina back for a heart-to-heart. Concerned by her renewed relationship with Gary, a man from her past, they stress the importance of boundaries and agree that it's best for Martina to take a break from dating and concentrate on herself. On the road, Charles and Franchesca hit it off and are thrilled to discover how much they have in common. Ron doesn't have the same luck during his second date with Janelle, and Dan struggles to find common ground with Becca, a vegan. Meanwhile, Paul works with the Army of Volunteers to build a new basketball court for 11 boys living at the Methodist Home for Children and Youth. During a special dedication ceremony, the boys get another big surprise—a visit from the world-famous Harlem Globetrotters! Aired: 09/17/2012
Matchmakers Paul Brunson and Kailen Rosenberg have their work cut out for them. First, they sit down with Martina, a single mom, who recently reconnected with a man from her past. Martina reveals details of her forbidden relationship with her former foster uncle and drops a bombshell—he asked her to marry him!
Then, Paul and Kailen rally the Army of Volunteers and challenge them to get more community members involved. These citizens also come together to help Edgar, a local teenager, who lost an arm when he was 14 years old. Meanwhile, Franchesca agrees to go on a second date with Justin, which goes awry after their nude drawing class. Lesson learned: Too many drinks are a turn off. Dan and Ron decide to play the field and ask to be set up with new women. On his golf date with an aspiring model, Dan discovers the two have nothing in common. Ron, however, hits it off with Jeanelle, a single mom. Finally, country star Sara Evans brings the community together during the Lovetown Art Walk! Aired: 09/02/2012
After challenging the rival dance studios to put on a joint performance, Paul stops by rehearsal and is happy to discover that the owners' newfound respect for each other has begun to spread to the children. Next, Paul takes on a feud between neighbors. The claws come out as accusations of cat hoarding and possible drug running surface.
Back at headquarters, Paul and Kailen check in with the singles. Alicia, a 27-year-old battling pancreatic cancer, tells them that chemotherapy has taken a toll on her health. They all agree that Alicia should put her search for a soul mate on hold while she focuses on her health. As the town comes together for family movie night, Paul and Kailen catch up with the singles to see how their dates went. The night is going great until one of our singles gets stood up...and Martina drops a huge bombshell. Finally, it's time for the dance studios to take center stage and perform as one troupe.
