After the Final Rose is a follow-up episode to the season finale of The Bachelor. Normally the episode is a platform that reunites the bachelor with the woman he chose to be his wife. In a new twist, the 2009 season ended with Mesnick choosing a winner (Melissa Rycroft) during the finale, but then broke off the engagement on the "After The Rose" segment. When runner-up (Molly Malaney) appeared on the confrontation portion of the episode, Mesnick stunned her by stating that he was no longer with Rycroft and asked her for a second chance.
The finale aired for two hours prior to "After The Final Rose Part 1", on March 2, 2009. "After The Final Rose Part 2" aired March 3, 2009, and explains what happened to the various relationships after the disastrous break-up took place on the first part of the special.

Episode Spoilers
The Reality Steve blog, written by Steve Carbone, revealed early on that Melissa Rycroft and the winner of the 13th Bachelor segment, both wore pinkie rings, thus allowing the viewers an early look at the ending. Three weeks before the "After The Final Rose" segment aired, he then reported that his source revealed that Rycroft was "dumped" during the segment and Molly Malaney was chosen instead. Ultimately, that scenario actually played out.Reality Steve: Reality Steve Blog (February 18, 2009) -
