In Bangkok, Rosanna worried that Craig wasn’t going to come through for her and Cabot. Apparently bank officers in Bangkok carry guns as one was pulled on Craig before he could get his hands on Ro’s money. The officer demanded a password and after some quick thinking, Craig realized it was “myson”. (Huh? Why not Cabot?). Craig then met with Q (the man in charge of Rosanna) and gave him money. Rosanna received an outfit from James and ripped it up. Craig returned and asked Mya to stand guard. Rosanna apologized for doubting him. Craig informed her that Jennifer is carrying his baby and he was framed for a crime he didn’t commit. Craig told Rosanna to trust him and that they’d take care of James. But Q returned with a big man who picked up Rosanna — literally.
Katie had flashbacks of Mike as she and Henry headed to the airport. Henry tried to convince Katie that she made the right decision in leaving town with him for their honeymoon. When Henry was pulled over for speeding, Katie ran off. Meanwhile, Mike reassured Barbara that Katie is just a friend and he’s worried about her since she hasn’t shown up at the wedding. Barbara offered to fill in for Katie. Paul wondered if Barbara had Katie bound, dragged and stashed away in a tower somewhere. Later, Paul told Mike what a lucky man he was — and if he did anything to hurt Jennifer, he would hurt him in ways he never thought possible. The wedding began and Katie came crashing in right during the objection part of the ceremony. She apologized and took her seat. Jennifer and Mike exchanged personal vows, which wrecked Katie. As they were pronounced man and wife, Barbara smugly looked at Katie. After the wedding, Katie snuck out and Mike went after her and confronted her. Casey excused himself and went after Gwen, while Celia told Will she wanted a wedding just like this one. Casey confronted Gwen and said he didn’t like her, but she snapped back that he liked her enough to sleep with her.
Lily and Keith arrived at the police station and overheard that the prison transport had crashed. At the crash, Les punched Jack and made his way back into the van. Jack tried to get him out, Carly arrived and pulled him away from the can just as it exploded. A freaked out Carly made Jack vow to never do anything like this again. Lily and Keith were relieved when Carly and Jack showed up at the station. Keith insisted that if Jack didn’t see Les die with his own eyes, then there was a chance he’s still alive. Lily told him that Les was dead and he has to let it go. Carly tended to Jack’s wounds and they discussed Carly’s fear about losing Jack. Jack told Keith that a body was found in the van wreckage and everyone else was accounted for. Lucinda (who apparently didn’t feel the need to stay at the wedding in her own home) showed up at the police station and once again warned Lily about Keith. Keith went to the crash site and talked to someone investigating the crash and they said a tire blew out which caused the crash.

Jennifer thanked Barbara for all she did. Barbara wasn’t amused when Jennifer kept talking about how great Katie has been. The thermostat was broken and the room was hot (Barbara’s temper was hotter). Sierra showed up and Barbara took off to get help with the themostat. Jennifer apologized for the last couple of crazy weeks, and Jennifer realized that Sierra was a part of the plan to get rid of Craig. Mike showed up in Jennifer’s room to fix the themostat and stole some kisses until Barbara busted them. Margo and Mike were puzzled when they couldn’t find Katie. He called Katie and left a message just as she was all packed and walking out the door with Henry. Mike told Barbara he was worried about Katie.
At the altar, Paul and Mike talked before the wedding and Mike informed him that Katie was going to be Jen’s matron of honor. Paul and Will discussed Barbara’s involvement in their lives again. “You give that woman an inch and she’ll cut out your heart,” barked Will. Celia arrived and introduced herself to Paul, then to Barbara. Barbara talked about Will with Celia until an annoyed Will returned. Casey found Gwen, but they were interrupted by Paul and Mike. Celia thanked Casey for coming to the wedding as Gwen lurked. Gwen complimented Margo and Tom on their home and revealed they were all going to the prom together. Casey wasn’t amused that Gwen told his parents that they were all going to the prom together. Will escourted Celia to her seat and it’s obvious he has a new crush. Barbara stole Hal away for an uncomfortable family picture, so Emily chugged a glass of champagne. Hal arrived in Jen’s roome and told her she looked like heaven. Hal told her that her happiness is all that counts and he’s not disappointed in her.
Henry was upset to hear Katie on the phone with the florist and he told them they weren’t going to Mike and Jennifer’s wedding. Henry surprised Katie with tickets to Honolulu for their honeymoon and said if she loved him, she would skip the wedding and be on the plane. Henry confronted her about the wedding and her hope that Mike would choose her over Jennifer at the wedding. She revealed she needs to see them get married so she knows it’s really over and her last little bit of hope/memory will disappear and reiterated her love for Henry.
At the police station, Carly freaked when she heard Jack was going on Les’ transport, and Margo revealed that Jack asked to go. Carly confessed she can’t get her mind off Les’ attack. Tom showed up in a tux and Carly urged Margo to go to the wedding. Meanwhile, the tire blew on the transport and the van crashed. Carly was concerned when she called Jack’s cell and there was no answer. Jack awoke and smelled gasoline so he worked to evacuate everyone from the van, including Les. Carly drove off after the transport and arrived just as Jack was going to follow Les back into the van to rescue him. Carly pulled Jack away from the can just as it exploded and they laid motionless on the ground.
Keith and Lily returned home and he was upset that Les was allowed to make a threatening phone call to him and Lily. Keith asked Lily if she was glad they didn’t make love during their trip. Lily whipped up an omelet for her and Keith, and he reassured her that having memories of Holden are OK. Keith and Lily decided to head to the police station to talk to Les.

At Lucinda’s, Mike and Jennifer stole some kisses before their wedding. Katie walked in and scolded them, citing wedding superstition. The MIA Nikki called Jennifer and told her she was on a last-minute FBI assignment and couldn’t be Jennifer’s maid of honor. Jennifer started to cry and wondered who would do all the wedding traditions with her until Katie offered to let Jennifer borrow a bracelet Henry gave her. Jennifer, who hopefully registered for some friends on the wedding registry, asked Katie to be her maid of honor. Katie agreed to be her MATRON of honor and left to get ready. Mike was a little surprised to say the least, but Jennifer told him that she wanted to show that she has forgiven Katie, just like he forgave her for sleeping with Craig. (Not exactly the same thing, but what the heck…)
Barbara barged into Katie and Henry’s cottage and blasted him for not looking after his wife. Henry deduced that Barbara ran Craig out of town for Jennifer. Barbara told Henry that his marriage to Katie doesn’t stand a chance. “I was in a loveless marriage once,” she revealed. “Only once?” he shot back. Henry countered that Katie was happy with him and just being a friend to Mike and Jennifer. Barbara revealed she saw Katie trying on Jennifer’s wedding gown and veil and insisted that Henry keep Katie away from the wedding. Henry kicked her out. Katie came home and Henry spied her innocently preparing for the wedding, but then grew concerned when he heard her on the phone with the florist and she yelled that this was the most important day of her life. Back at Lucinda’s, Barbara gave Jennifer her mother’s earrings, then freaked when she heard Katie was Jennifer’s new matron of honor.
Will showed up at Al’s and commiserated with Celia about how he didn’t want to his sister’s wedding because of Barbara. At the counter, Gwen told Casey she had fun at his place the other night but he said they shouldn’t hang out anymore. Celia got Casey to agree to take her to Jennifer’s wedding. Gwen overheard and got a job being a server at the wedding. Celia fretted about what to wear to the wedding and Gwen revealed she was going to be there working. Will realized Celia gathered everyone to go to the wedding for him. Casey confronted Gwen about working at the wedding and she said she needed the money.
Carly had a nightmare that she was in bed with Les instead of Jack, and Jack had to wake her up because she was screaming in her sleep. Jack stressed that they couldn’t ignore Carly’s anxiety anymore. Jack called to go along on Les’ transport to a different prison. Carly went to work and grabbed a pair of scissors again when a noise startled her. She tried to work but instead of drawing a design, she drew a pretty decent sketch of Les. Emily showed up and Carly admitted she was spooked and her earlier nightmare made her worry that something bad was going to happen to Jack. Jack told Margo he had to go on Les’ transport to make sure that Les is put away for good (even though the last time he transported a criminal he wound up with amnesia and presumed dead). The only person less amused than Les that Jack was on the prison transport was Carly, who found out about Jack’s trip when she showed up at the station looking for him and flashbacked to last summer’s tragic events. “This can’t happen again,” she said. Wanna bet?

Mother Nature apparently didn’t approve of Keith and Lily making love as a thunderstorm blew over their tent and interrupted their outdoor rendezvous. “You don’t think almost getting struck by lightening is a mood breaker?” pondered Lily when they got to the car. Lily told Keith that she wants to wait to make love and he wondered if Holden played a factor in that decision. Lily maintained she needed some closure with Holden before they made love. As Keith got out of the car his cell phone rang, so Lily naturally answered it. It was Les and he told Lily that Keith killed Julia and he wouldn’t hesitate to kill Lily either. Les urged Lily to ask Keith why he framed Les. Keith returned and told Les to go to hell. Lily informed Keith she didn’t believe Les, and Keith vowed that he and Lily were going to be happy.
Holden grew frustrated when he got Lily’s cell phone voicemail. Luke returned home from Washington and was surprised to find Holden there and no Lily. Holden revealed Lily was out with Keith and once Faith left the room, Luke confronted Holden about what is going on between Lily and Keith. When Holden revealed that Lily and Keith were an item, Luke shouted, “You’re just a bunch of messed up people who can’t figure out what they want.” Holden admitted he didn’t like Lily hanging out with Keith, either. Holden pumped Luke for information and Luke called him on his jealousy. Later, Holden told a shocked Emma that Lily was gone for the night. Holden tried again to call Lily and was concerned when there wasn’t any answer.
Mike showed up at Street Jeans to pick Jennifer up for her dress fitting. On their way out, Dusty arrived and a work crisis made Jen stay. Mike left, and Jennifer and Dusty argued about Carly some more but agreed that life was better without Craig around. Mike returned and he and invited Dusty to the wedding, and Jennifer asked him to keep Carly in line while she was gone.
Katie arrived at Lucinda’s to drop off a wedding gift for Mike and Jennifer in the midst of Barbara’s frantic wedding planning and Katie offered to help out. Mike showed up without Jennifer and Barbara freaked that she was going to miss her final dress fitting. Barbara took off to pick up the dress, and Katie walked into the room and she and Mike tried out the hors d’oeuvres and cake together. Katie fed Mike a piece of lemon cake as an unamused Barbara walked in. Mike picked the chocolate cake (his favorite!) and thanked Katie for making the menu selections. Katie told Mike she wanted him to be happy and he kissed her on the cheek just as — you guessed it — Barbara walked in and said, “Hey, aren’t you kissing the wrong bride?!” Mike later insisted to Barbara that he and Katie are just friends. Jennifer called Mike to come and pick her up and he asked Katie to stay so she could discuss the food selections with Jennifer. Later, Katie spied Jen’s veil and tried it on as — you guessed it — Barbara walked in. Uh oh.
In Bangkok, Craig and Rosanna heard James’ voice on the other side of the door. Craig hid and James walked in promising a new and exciting adventure for Rosanna. Ro apologized for betraying James, who told her he was going to sell her to a work camp. Rosanna promised she wouldn’t run away again, but James told her it was too late. Ro begged to see Cabot one more time, and James said he would consider it if she behaved. After James left, Craig said he’d help Rosanna. Craig and Rosanna argued over how he was never around for Cabot. Craig said Ro either allows him access to her money, or James was going to get Cabot. Ro reluctantly gave Craig her bank account number and access code and he took off.

Cowboy Les and his lawyer, Jessica, put some doubt in Holden’s mind about Keith’s innocence — enough for him to pressure Jack to reopen the investigation. “The guy’s a punk” but not necessarily a murderer, argued Holden, thus insulting Carly, who very clearly remembers Les’s cold cowboy hands strangling her. Jack then headed to the station to warn Les that he would personally see him locked up, while Carly suggested to Holden that maybe he’s just jealous that Lily’s dating Keith. She suggested that he call his wife and tell her everything he knows, so that she can decide what to do about Keith…
Speaking of the (possible) devil, he and Lily arrived at the random clearing in the deep, dark woods to find that his childhood cabin had gone missing. Keith swore that he’d left it right there. “I don’t know what happened. Somebody must have burned it down and they didn’t tell me about,” he guessed, in the most hilariously unreasonable statement of the day. Way to make yourself look even more guilty, Keith. Lily got to work making lemonade of this lemon of a dilemma and suggested that they camp out under the stars. How romantic. Luckily, he had all the supplies on his plane — including an ax. Lily then miraculously just picked up his long-buried childhood treasure box from a stack of twigs. Inside, they found his toy airplane (just like the one in the childhood treasure box on LOST — creepy!) and a big scary knife, which he used as a prop in a clichè campfire story about an escaped mental patient. For Lily, that’s foreplay. They kissed for a bit until he cooked up some awful campfire grub for her. That really turned her on, and when she ventured off into the bushes to take care of some lady business, her phone rang (Holden calling). Keith shut off the phone and laid out the sleeping bags…
Emily was on a mission to help Paul move on, so she plied him with wine at Metro while forcing him to cheer up about his love life and have a little fun. Though he made excuses for Ro’s behavior, she urged him to hold on to his anger and called him “extremely dateable” even though he thinks he’s “way too intense.” (Good point.) “A million women who would love to help you forget all about Rosanna,” she gushed (and we could think of a few Web sites where he could find one). The more sloshed they got, the more sexually-charged their banter and lingering their glances got. “You will fall in love again. I promise,” concluded Emily, kissing him on the cheek before heading home. That made him dig through his wallet for his wedding ring, which he looked at, then put away again…
In Bangkok, Craig managed to bribe his way in to see Rosanna, who was sporting some sharp new bangs. She feared that he was working for James, but once she realized that was a ridiculous notion, she told him everything about Cabot, and added that once Stenbeck crossed the truly creepy threshold, she tried to call Interpol, which is how she ended up in her current predicament. He was offering his help when they heard James outside…
Casey (in a striped polo shirt with a cattle brand on the shoulder) and Celia were preparing for her first barbecue ever when Gwen showed up, acting all squirrely and wearing a weird bloomers/jean shorts combo. She and Celia marvelled at the Hughes’s upper-middle class luxury as it applies to bathroom options and Gwen went off to powder her nose as Will arrived. He acted nonchalant about the obvious set-up going on with Gwen, but then made a defensive comment about how she must think he’s a freak. “Give it a rest, Will. It’s not like I’m Hilary Duff,” she snarked back. Meanwhile, a twitchy Casey insisted to Celia again that he’s not a “player,” and they all talked about the prom.”“I don’t do proms,” said Will, which prompted Gwen to suggest they go together. Moneybags Will then offered to take care of the limo (Guess that means the SCOOBY DOO van is out!) Finally, Casey and Gwen got a moment alone to have another cryptic conversation about their secret. She promised to keep it.
