On tonight's season finale episode of Bringing Up Bates, you'll hear Gil's answer to Evan's request for permission to court Carlin, as well as the Bates dad's response when Bobby asks for his blessing to propose to Tori. The 30-minute show airs at 9pm ET/8pm CT on UP.
While the rest of the family enjoys the high ropes courses at Adventures on the Gorge, Tori and Bobby stay back to watch the children.
