In case you need a refresher, Blake is the wildlife manager who was originally from The Bachelorette Season 16 with Tayshia and Clare Crawley. Blake seemed to develop feelings for Clare early on in the season. Then when the lead picked Dale Moss, he started seeing sparks with Tayshia.
In the end, Tayshia sent Blake home during a one-on-one date. She also got engaged to Zac Clark in her finale. Now, Blake is back to pursue love with Katie in The Bachelorette Season 17. In the season preview, Blake seemingly says “Katie is the one.”
Meanwhile, Katie recently revealed that she briefly spoke with Blake before The Bachelorette started filming. But they didn’t have a pre-show relationship.
“I definitely knew who he was,” Katie told Us Weekly. “We had chatted before. But usually what happens is, like, the guys will reach out to the women once they’re eliminated and be like, ‘Good luck, you did great.’ Like very generic.”

Now, Blake will meet Katie in The Bachelorette Season 17 Episode 4, which will air on June 28. Ahead of the new episode, ABC dropped a teaser to highlight how the storyline will rise.
At the start of the Bachelorette promo, Katie seems a bit emotional before her conversation with Tayshia.
“Honestly, the last person I expected to see was Tayshia,” she says. “I don’t know what she wants. But I don’t know that I could handle any more news.”
Now, it’s possible Katie is stressed about the situation with Thomas Jacobs. But whatever the case, Tayshia’s news seems to bring some joy to the new bachelorette.
“I came here to tell you something,” Tayshia tells Katie. “I had someone from my past reach out to me, and he really felt passionately.”
The preview cuts to another shot of Tayshia. “You guys would be an amazing match,” she says. “I think he’s an amazing guy. He has someone that has good intentions. … But he can’t stop thinking about you.”
In the end, Tayshia isn’t able to tell the new bachelorette which Bachelor Nation alum returned for her journey. But regardless, Katie is shocked.
“It’s been an interesting 24-hours. I am literally every single emotion right now,” Katie tells Bachelorette producers. “I feel excited, but I also feel nervous because I am falling for some guys already. But the least I can do is meet him and see who he is and if there’s any kind of chemistry.”
Then at the end of the Bachelorette teaser, Katie sees Blake. But she doesn’t sound upset.
“Oh my gosh, Blake!” Katie says as the contestant turns around with a smile.
