They also confront his clueless parents, her careless dad (Michael McKean) and Paul’s failure to pursue his childhood dreams.

2) “The Bachelor: The Women Tell All,” 8-10 p.m., ABC. A week before the finale, people discuss what’s happened; there’s a lot to talk about. Last week, Peter Weber took three women separately to the “fantasy suite,” where they decided whether to have sex. Madison Prewett said no … and said she would have trouble getting engaged if he was intimate with the others; he was. (He later said he wished she had mentioned this earlier.) Next week, he chooses Victoria Fuller, Hannah Ann Sluss or Prewett.

3) “9-1-1 Lone Star,” 8 p.m., Fox. This 10-hour mid-season show will have its two-hour season-finale next week. Tonight, the calls range from a rattlesnake infestation to a man with dementia who created his own crisis. Also, Michelle (Liv Tyler) learns the truth about her sister’s disappearance and Owen (Rob Lowe) adopts a firehouse dog that has cancer.

4) “Bob (Hearts) Abishola,” 8:30 p.m., CBS. This terrific show has ffered only brief glimpses of Abishola’s son, a quietly respectful lad who makes breakfast for her. In this funny rerun, Bob says the kid seems unhappy; Abishola is not looking for any parenting advice.

5) “Laura” (1944), 8 p.m. ET, Turner Classic Movies. The final day of “31 Days of Oscar” has this private-eye classic. TCM follows with “The Ghost and Mrs. Muir” (1947) at 9:45 p.m ET, “My Fair Lady” (1964) at 11:45, “The Nun’s Story” (1959) at 3 a.m. and “Tom Jones” (1963) at 5:45 a.m. ET. Each has a connection to the ones before and after it ; “Tom Jones” was directed by Tony Richardson … who also directed the “31 Days” opener (“The Entertainer”). That brings things full-circle.
