In the first clip, Arie admits he's "way more nervous" that he thought he would be about meeting some of the families and trying to make a good impression.

Becca's Uncle has been a father figure to Becca since she lost her own father as a child. And he has some tough questions for Arie about their relationship.

He also meets Tia's brother, who has a few questions after hearing that Arie is a "little bit of a playboy."

"How can you prove to me tonight, that's not who you are?" the brother asks "The Bachelor."

In the next clip, Arie has a chat with Becca’s Uncle Gary, who is very protective of her after stepping in as a father figure when her real dad passed away years ago.

"This should be her dad sitting here right now, not me," Gary says, getting emotional.

Gary continues and says that he and the rest of Becca's family are her "guard dogs."

"I'm not gonna mess around, so are we wasting time here, or is Becca the real deal to you?" he asks.

Here's some other footage.

"The Bachelor" returns tonight on ABC at 8 p.m.
