Laura is ecstatic to have Jack home, even if only during the appeal process. She calls Mike and Carrie to come over.

Mike and Carrie talk in the park about Carrie's problems with Austin. Mike manages to make her feel better, and Carrie starts pressing him about his "mystery woman." Just as Mike is about to tell Carrie how he feels, he receives the call from Laura, and they head over to Jennifer's, unaware that Austin had been watching them embrace.

Austin heads up to the apartment, disturbed by how close Mike and Carrie are. Sami encourages him to believe they are falling in love. When Laura calls, they head over to Jennifer's too, especially after Austin learns that Mike and Carrie will be there.

Hope is depressed, but Franco is trying to cheer her up. Shawn-D comes home to the Horton house, and after a happy reunion with Hope, asks when she and Bo will be getting back together.

Bo shows up a few minutes later, and Shawn-D tells him to go after Hope.

At the party, everyone is thrilled that Jack is out of prison. Sami and Lucas scheme to drive Carrie and Austin further apart.

Marlena is terrified by the power surge at the Titan offices, but John rushes to her side and they share a romantic evening together. As they say goodbye for the night, John tells her nothing can stop their wedding now.

Kristen has obviously learned Stefano's plan and is reluctant to go through with it, but some pushing from Stefano resolves her doubts - she knows she will lose John if she doesn't help Stefano break up the wedding. Kristen shows a little heart by asking Stefano to leave Jennifer and Jack alone, but Stefano tells her to quit being soft and think like a DiMera. He tells her the surprise he has for John and Marlena is a wedding present they'll never forget.

Everyone is gearing up for John and Marlena's wedding. Kate and Sami exchange nasty words with each other, but Austin, as usual, is oblivious. Austin is on edge waiting for news from Mickey, but even thought Kate encourages him to tell Carrie, he wants to wait until he is sure. Sami freaks out when Lucas offers to watch Will during the ceremony and tells him that Will should stay with his father (hiding the fact, of course, that Lucas IS Will's father). They head over to the church, where all the women are getting ready. Susan is dressed in the gaudiest get-up imaginable - lots of ruffles and a wacky hat - but everyone is in too good a mood to care. Sami tells Carrie that she hopes Carrie can one day be as happy with Mike as Sami is with Austin. Carrie just has to bite her tongue and remind Sami that she and Mike are only friends. Carrie is still convinced that Sami is faking her amnesia, but Sami behaves perfectly, pretending to be happy for Marlena. Marlena is convinced that Sami still doesn't have her memory back. Everyone compliments Sami on her stylish new haircut. The women give Marlena something old (a hand-embroidered handkerchief), something new (a bracelet from Carrie), something borrowed (diamond earrings that belonged to Mrs. Horton's grandmother) and something blue (baby Elvis' blue suede shoes from Susan). Marlena is so overwhelmed that she bursts into tears. Finally, everyone leaves Marlena alone.

At the church, Austin finally contacts Mickey and smiles as he gets the news he wants to hear. Lucas asks him what happened and Austin says he has to find Carrie and tell her the great news. Out in front of the church, Carrie has lost the engagement ring from Austin that she kept on a chain around her throat. Mike helps her look for it and finally finds it. Carrie asks him to put it on her and as he is doing so, she stumbles and he puts his arms around her to support her. Austin sees them in that pose and assumes the worst - from a distance, it looks as if they are passionately kissing.

Hope is depressed over the situation with Bo, and admits to Franco that she still loves him. Franco tells her to come to the wedding and have a good time. But when they get there, Bo is one of the ushers and walks Hope to her seat. He reminds her that the last time she walked down the aisle, she was the bride and she was breathtaking. Hope doesn't even respond, but inside, she can't stop thinking about her splendid English wedding with Bo all those years ago. Bo can't stop thinking about it either. While he is reminiscing, Kate tells him that she hasn't been able to contact Billie and the hotel in Rome reported that she hadn't been to her room for days.

Billie struggles against her bonds, but Max tells her to quit trying because she won't escape and King has plans for her. Billie fantasizes that Bo comes to rescue her, saying he loves her, but Max laughs at her and says she has a blind spot for Bo, who is only interested in Hope. Billie tells Max that he will have to kill her to keep her from testifying because somehow she is going to escape. Max says to forget about it - King has bigger plans for her.

Stefano waits anxiously until Kristen returns. Kristen tells him everything went as planned and they hop on the DiMera jet and head back to Salem as quickly as possible. Kristen goes straight to the church, where Marlena is alone and getting ready to walk down the aisle. When Marlena sees Kristen, she is furious, saying "How dare you come here today?" But Kristen is smug and says she brought a wedding present that Marlena really should look at. Marlena, wondering what she is up to, is startled when Kristen opens the door and motions, and someone wheels a sleeping man with a bandaged face into the room. Marlena is confused, but as she gazes past the bandages, all the color drains from her face..."It can't be," she whispers. Kristen grins evilly. "Oh, but it is," she says softly. "It's Roman Brady."
