Donna seemed bewildered. Michael plied her with champagne.
Marley told Victoria she was living in the past. Victoria asked if she weren't the one deluding herself where Jake was concerned.
Sally wants true truth. We'll start with a simple, straightforward question: "do you still love Catlin?"
Kathleen launched herself from her wheelchair and knocked Cass over. Once she had him down she beat him with her fists. He objected. Sherri called her a twit. Kathleen said she was not a twit. Cass said she was so a twit. Kathleen: I'll show you who's a twit. I'M NOT BACKING OUT OF THE MARRIAGE. Cass: you're not? Kathleen: NO. I love you, dummy. [she hit him again, just to make her point.] Sherri: you're all NUTS. Vince restrained her. Kathleen found traces of lipstick of the wrong colour all over Cass' collar. Cass: it's just a little lipstick. Kathleen: just a LITTLE lipstick? It's too much lipstick when it's not mine. Cass: aw, come on, I can't control all the lipstick that gets dumped on my collar. Kathleen: tell that to the judge. Cass: ooh, nice thigh muscles. Kathleen: the better to kick your butt in Mr. Let's go. Cass: GRAPEFRUIT.
Brittany refused to deny anything. Sally assured her Catlin wouldn't come running back to her even if he were certain about the baby.
Victoria said she and Jake both knew that what they had was forever. Marley asked why he was marrying her. Vic said she could wait. Apparently Jake was fascinated by the "I'm still a virgin" bit. But he'll get over it. Marley told her Jake loved her and she wouldn't feel guilty any more about it. Vic's stubbornly insisted that she still had Jake. Marley told her she had to accept the fact that it was over. Vic ran out.
Michael changes the subject whenever Donna tries to speak about the twins. He gets disturbing. He suggested they dance. She was flustered. "DONNA, I am asking you to dance with me, not go to bed with me." Donna told him she knew what he was up to. He was suddenly all outraged propriety. "Donna you came ON to me." "I did NOT." "You THREW yourself at me in my bedroom." "I did no such thing." "and you KISSED me and it was more than just a friendly kiss. Are you TESTING me Donna? Are you refusing my hospitality?" She said she wanted to talk business. He said to call his office and leave.
Marley feels vaguely guilty. Nancy stop short of telling her Victoria's lies weren't lies. Marley cried because she loved Victoria.
Victoria cried. She said it wasn't over and threw things. She stomped out.
Donna said their daughters needed them. Enter Victoria. Michael asked what was wrong. She said she didn't belong anywhere.
Vince and Ada ran into each other at Smiley's. They talked to Maisie. They suggested she find a partner to help with rent elsewhere. They both seemed to want in.
Kathleen told Cass she had to go home to stand up and get her wedding dress hemmed.
Sally is in control of the situation. Catlin is in an advanced state of spoil. She told Britt she [Sally] didn't have to fight for Catlin. She said she was worried about Peter. She's hanging on to Catlin. She said if Brittany tried to use this baby to spoil the wedding she'd go to Peter about that day in the stables. Britt: do you think Peter will really believe that? Sally: I think he'll definitely start counting backwards. [Like an ole Roman. "Test paper I up to the end of 1066... 4. Has it never occured to you that the Romans COUNTED BACKWARDS? [Be honest.]" Perhaps he'll die of gout and/or syphilis.] Britt said she wouldn't want to hurt Peter. Sally invited her to the wedding to show the world that it was over. It's behave and have a Love or misbehave and have nothing. Catlin is not an option.
Donna told Michael Jake was pitting one twin against the other. Victoria plunked away at the piano. She wouldn't admit to any troubles. Donna complained about Jake. Michael told her she was a snob. He thinks Jake is honest enough. He refused to forbid the wedding. He said things like "Stow it" and "put a lid on it" a lot. It's necessary, with Donna. He compared her to her father. Victoria fled. He wouldn't let Donna follow. Play it again, Sam said he to the pianist. Dinner has been resumed.
Cass carried Kathleen up to her room. He reassured her. MJ threw him out because of not seeing the bride in the wedding dress before the wedding. He objected.
Vince and Ada don't get along. They're both determined to go in with Maisie. They can't think what to call it. Enter Sally.
Cass was removed. MOMENT OF TRUTH.
Catlin found Sally. He was annoyed. She told him she'd had to see Brittany to see how she [Sally] felt. She told him Britt still loved him. He got upset because he thought she'd decided not to marry him. She said if he'd listen he'd realized she wasn't the same frightened insecure woman he'd married and fled. He followed.
Donna and Michael got along swell. He'd ordered pizza from Chicago with special significance. She was delighted. They had swell wine. They toasted a stolen summer. Things at this moment are as they were. She's the only mother of his children.
Vic met Neal. She told him everybody had somebody but her. He said he felt the same way but everybody else was rich. Maisie told them to tell Jake to clear his room.
Catlin and Sally sorted everything out. They sat on the hood of their car. She said this wouldn't change a thing. She asked if he was going to make an honest woman of her. There seemed to be varying degrees of honesty. Poor Peter. Catlin wouldn't put it past Brittany. Poor Brittany.
Kathleen got the gown on. Cass was admitted. She stood up vair' slowly. He rushed forward and embraced her. If you say my eyes are beautiful. Tears and rejoicing. She promised to protect him from a variety of bad people similar to Emily Benson killer nurse etc.
