Host Tommy Miles and Season 3 super-couple Jason and Liz introduce viewers to the men and women hoping to make a love connection this season. Before the romance begins, Tommy and his co-hosts go deep to find out what drives these sexy singles.

RTL returns for its fourth season, this time in our nation's capital, Washington, DC. Heeding Tommy's advice to put themselves out there, romance blossoms early for many singles. However, disconnections send two people home and anger a third.

In Week 2, the men are on the chopping block as the ladies look to peel back more layers. Connections are strengthened and challenged. Corey has his hero moment, but some women aren't feeling his game. Is Carrington too slick for his own good?

The power has now shifted to the men this week, and Tommy challenges them to get out of their comfort zone with their dates. Corey redeems himself yet again. Phil starts to ignite a love story. Tyrone and Kheri address their issues so they can move on.

It's sink or swim for the daters as the ladies reclaim elimination power and suit up for a pool party. Tommy's curveball tosses everyone into the deep end as Kamil treads water with Cornelius, Aisha uncovers a hidden gem, and Corey overplays his hand.

Midway through the process, the power shifts back to the men as Tommy calls upon them to step outside the box and date women they haven't connected with yet. The assignment helps expose unexpected romances, dying sparks and fresh jealousies.

The women aren't just in power, they're bringing their friends! Shawn faces a firing squad, Kamil's pals worry she will crush Cornelius, and Phil goes on three dates. At the ladies' lounge, Zadia's on 100 and Tisia threatens to go on "100 and two."

Tommy throws his best curveball yet. It's time for the guys to introduce their "next" to their ex. Some of the ladies are also in for an extra surprise when they realize they aren't the only connection to be invited out to meet their interest's ex.

Tommy surprises the remaining singles with a weekend at a bayside mansion, but he's packed a major curveball in his luggage. Connections are made and broken, and tension reaches a boiling point as the couples deal with the fallout.

After a shocking elimination at the retreat, the singles return to DC, and it's the men who have the power to eliminate. Mumen heavily pursues Frank; Walter contends with Sabrina's past; Phil falls deeper for Sidney; and Zadia confronts Dontá on Aisha.

It's meet-the-family time! Sidney's mom embarrasses her daughter. Mumen's dad has a problem with Frank. Aisha's brother delivers a warning to Donta. Sabrina's relationship with Walt zooms along. Shiloh and Phil face an unexpected test.

It all comes down to this. As couples begin to solidify, those involved in love triangles still have a tough decision to make. The men's families are called in as one last assignment to help the final eight daters determine who is Ready to Love.

Our 20 singles reunite in Chocolate City, where twists, tears and truths are revealed -- with the help of a special guest host, DC native Tanika Ray -- in part one of an explosive two-hour Ready to Love reunion special.

Part 2 of the Ready to Love DC Reunion Special picks up the pieces of the retreat, patches up a love triangle, reveals a love square and shows that actions speak louder than intentions. Who of our remaining couples has set off on their road to forever?
