The unreleased preview, debuted on Hulu's Get Real podcast, captures Taylor addressing the wild sequence of events that unfolded as soon as she touched down from filming.
"Then, I come home. Obviously [me and ex Dakota] were texting. 'When are you going to be home?'" Taylor admitted during the scene. "I don't know how it led to it, but he came over."
Her co-star Mikayla, 26, did not hold back her candid reaction, instantly quipping, "Umm… I think I know how that happened."

She added fuel to the fire by hinting that fans have only scratched the surface of the full story.
"Yeah, listen, I'll just say it now… the 'spoiler' released today wasn't even the spoiler that's yet to come," she teased ahead of the show's return.
During her conversation with her fellow Utah moms, Taylor officially confirmed that someone did indeed get down on one knee at the end of her season.
"[I said,] 'Yes.' Yes, I did [get engaged]," Taylor confessed to Jessi, essentially acknowledging reports pointing to suitor Doug Mason as her final choice.
Jessi, 34, immediately highlighted the bizarre parallels between her former fiancé and her ex: "They have the same initials. They're both from Idaho. It's so weird."

The pair currently remain under mutual protective orders, requiring them to stay at least 100 feet apart for three years.

She shares daughter Indy, 8, and son Ocean, 6, with ex-husband Tate Paul, alongside 2-year-old son Ever with Dakota.
Although Dakota was granted temporary custody of Ever earlier in the year, a judge officially granted Taylor expanded unsupervised visitation time with the toddler.
With Season 5 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives set to drop on Hulu on Thursday, September 10, viewers will finally get an unedited look into how the entire scandal imploded behind closed doors.
As Taylor prepares for the impending public reaction, one thing remains crystal clear: the real drama surrounding her Bachelorette journey was never what happened in front of the cameras, but what went down the second she got home.
