All eyes were on the bride as Kate walked down the aisle, so no one saw the sniper rifle fire a shot through Kate's belly, and bedlam ensued. Jason drew his weapon and ran for the back of the church as Sonny crouched over his fallen bride. Sonny summoned Jason back, so Jason dispatched Cody to investigate the choir box. Olivia prayed over her fallen cousin. A tearful Lulu reeled, so Johnny returned her to Shadybrook, where Tracy was not happy to find them together. She scolded Johnny and brought him to see the catatonic Laura. She warned Lulu could end up the same if Johnny doesn't leave her alone. "How can you risk it?" she demanded. Back at the church, Jason performed gunshot first aid, Kate tried to talk. Cody reported to Jason that he only found one rifle shell, meaning the sniper hit his target the first time. Maxie resolved to stick close to Spinelli, who was ordered by Jason to trace the shell casing. Spinelli instantly identified it as Russian. Sonny told Kate she was the first girl he ever loved. She slipped into unconsciousness. "I know who did this," Sonny growled to Jason. "Find proof!" Jax reassured Carly, who was disappointed to learn that Jax already knew about "Connie Falconeri." Claudia told Ric this incident illustrates why gangsters shouldn't get involved with civilians. Mac questioned Mike and Olivia, who recapped the fight with her cousin. Scotty arrived and suggested Johnny and Lulu were involved. Harper said all the guests agree on one thing: Jason had a gun. Later, at Metro Court, Carly reassured Morgan she was okay. Diane told Alexis she had warned Kate. Alexis blamed Sonny for having a public ceremony. Bernie interrupted to get Diane to get the cops off Jason's back.

Elizabeth was home preparing for her trip when a joyful Lucky and Sam arrived to take the boys to the mountains. Lucky was suspicious of Liz going away with Jason, who lives a very dangerous life. Liz was determined to go away with him, and Sam backed her. Liz went to the first-class lounge at the airport and waited anxiously for Jason to arrive. Soon, the flight started boarding, with no sign of Jason.

At GH, Monica took charge of Kate's care. Later, Leyla let Sonny in. Monica said Kate needs to be stabilized before surgery. The hollow-point bullet was lodged near her spine, and if anything goes wrong with the surgery she could be paralyzed for life. Monica blasted Sonny for getting his loved ones wounded. Sonny apologized to the unconscious Kate for bringing this down on her. When Olivia arrived she displaced Sonny in the room, pointing out she is more family than he is. Olivia told Kate she didn't "tell" Sonny their secret. "Sonny's never gonna know."

At Shadybrook, Lulu told Tracy she will follow her doctor's orders and do whatever necessary to get released. The orderly brought her a dinner tray — which contained a note reading, "You killed Logan. You should pay."

Outside Kate's room, Jason reported on the shell casing trace. "I want that bastard Karpov dead," Sonny screamed. "Send a message: He doesn't go anywhere near me or mine." At the docks, Claudia accused Karpov of shooting Kate, but he professed innocence. Ric returned to Crimson Point and found Anthony standing while disassembling a sniper rifle: "Looks like you caught me," he shrugged.
