Well-the wedding took place. In jeans and with runny mascara.
But....maybe this is the begining of the end of Marina and Mallet. They have both withheld information from one another. A girl can hope at least...
Shayne and Dinah get hauled away to jail. There is a pretty good scene between the two there. He insists that he didn't interrupt the wedding due to any feelings for Marina. There's a tender scene of Josh, Shane, and Reva at the hospital at the end.
I wonder if Shayne will run into Olivia there? Will the writers remember that those two had a good relationship and that he had a kid crush on her? Or will this be another forgotten storyline. Also, will they have Olivia prop up Reva during her time of need-or is that confined to Jeffrey? I'd like to see Olivia support Reva and it would be consistent with the character.
On the downside, there are a couple of musical interludes to the M&M storyline. Talk about a double downer!
I liked the scene with Alan and Beth. They were sort of different as Beth stood up to Alan for once. I think BC is doing a good job with the story line. It is just that Beth with a young boy toy has been done (Bill). Beth having an affair has been done (Rick). So aside from Beth goes to law school, this is old stuff.
I did like the Buzz/Alan scene and Coop coming down the stairs and meeting Alan for the uneasy Buzz reaction. I also miss the conversations between Buzz and Alan. I really enjoy it when those two are in a scene together.
There are also two scenes I'd rather forget with Reva and Jeffrey. The first is a Reva throws a hissy fit because Jeffrey is on the phone and she's worried. Jeffrey--god that he is--calms her every fear. That part of the scene was actually okay and in character for Reva, but I'm still not buying saint Jeffrey. The next bit of the scene has Reva apologizing for the hissy fit and saying how great Jeff is and how wrong she was. The Reva Shayne I've seen over these years never, ever said she was sorry or wrong at the time--years later yes, but not immediately. Exactly who is Reva Shayne anymore!? Then there's more of the school-girl simple act. Yuk!
The second is in the park where Jeffrey introduces Reva to a beautiful girl with a name I can't recall. She goes away and Jeffey explains the girls mother had treatment for cancer while pregant with the girl and every thing was A-OK. Reva is so relieved--yes they will have a perfect baby. Uggg. I really must start fast forwarding this story line again-I simply do not care for it one bit. Nothing, and I mean nothing, will make me buy the story line. I was more into the jumps through paintings than this one...it was much more believable.

At the SPD, Josh tries to talk to Shayne.
He questions what happened to Shayne. Why is he there. Shayne says he knew the risks with the job. It's just a little setback. Did Shayne fly there to break up Marina's wedding to Mallet? Shayne says yeah he was bored. Josh says that none of this makes sense. Nothing does for Shayne. Frank arrives being a yutz and throws Dinah and Shayne into their new sleeping arrangements for the night. Josh tells Shayne to hold on. Josh will make sure to get bail for him. Shayne tells Josh to save his money. Shayne is not his problem.
Jeffrey tries to talk to Reva.
He knows that he's been at work a lot while she's home fighting the chemo. She's worried about the baby.
Reva says that she's been carrying around the baby. She can feel every flutter and kick. She feels responsible for him. She's worried that he might not be o.k. because of the chemo.
Jeffrey knows the feeling. He feels responsible for both Reva and the baby. He worries about it every day. He knows they are going through hell right now but she's going to give birth to a beautiful healthy baby boy. Jeffrey is thankful every day that he's not going to have to raise the baby alone. They made the right choice with the chemo. It was the hard choice but right choice. Reva smiles she loves when Jeffrey tries to reason with her. Jeffrey suggests taking his wife upstairs so she can have a bubble bath. Reva loves the idea till the phone rings. She snaps at Jeffrey and heads upstairs. Jeffrey looks at the phone as it keeps ringing.
At Company, Coop walks out and is surprised to see Beth on the steps. What is she doing there? She has no clue. She was going to go to the Law Library but kept walking. Coop says that there are no books inside of Company. Beth laughs and says that Coop has a nice suit on. Who is it for? Coop says that Marina and Mallet tried to get married tonight but Shayne and Dinah showed up. They crashed the wedding and heck broke loose. Beth questions if Coop is free tonight? Is she sure? This is not their usual night. It's late as well. Beth flirts with Coop. Coop questions if Beth is alright. Beth says she doesn't want to be alone right now. She suggests going up to his room in the boarding-house.
Coop agrees and follows Beth. Buzz sees them.
Inside Company, Marina and Mallet are having it out. Mallet says that Marina talked to Shayne without telling him. He did the same thing with Dinah when he wanted to go find Daisy.
Mallet says he didn't think that was important. Marina laughs. Face time with his ex before their wedding? Marina did the same thing. Why did they not tell each other? Marina questions if this a sign or road bump in their relationship? Mallet says just say it. Marina questions if they are rushing into marriage. Music in background is No more sad songs by Kyler England.
Josh tells Mel to find a judge in the morning when the sun rises. He wants Shayne out of the jail. Josh leaves. Dinah questions would it have hurt him to tell her his name? Shayne questions why it matters. Dinah says that the bar fight really said something. He was mad about Marina. Shayne says that it was over with Marina a long time ago. She's just a friend. What is the deal with him then? He's acting like a man that still cares about her. Shayne says all he wanted to do was to wake up Marina. Just because you get married doesn't mean it will all be perfect. Dinah laughs and says the greeting card companies should know about him. He's such a cynic. What happened to him? Shayne counters what happened to her. She didn't get her happy ever after with Mallet? Dinah questions what happened to the girl he told her about in Germany? Did she break his heart or something more? Shayne laughs he forgot how much Dinah talks. Dinah grumbles. Shayne then feels a spasm take over his body. Dinah is worried. They should call the guard. Shayne says he's fine. It comes and goes. She can't let him go through this pain. Shayne says that it does it a lot. There are a lot of things that are bugging him today. He doesn't need any help.
At Mallet and Marina's house, Mallet and Marina are in bed together but alone.
Mallet turns away from Marina. Marina has tears in her eyes. Music again is No more sad songs by Kyler England.
Picture of the sun over the lighthouse opens the next sequence. Reva and Jeffrey are outside Cross Creek. Jeffrey is on the phone. He'll be in DC in a bit. Jeffrey tells Reva he didn't want to wake her up. He didn't come to bed last night. Jeffrey was working until late on reports. He fell asleep in front of the television. So he's not avoiding her? No. Reva wouldn't blame him with the way she went all hormonal on him yesterday. She's sorry. Cancer is no excuse for being a pain in the butt. Reva says that all the anger and worry bottled up and it exploded on Jeffrey. Jeffrey has to learn how to duck better. She's still having second thoughts about the chemo. Jeffrey knows. Reva also hated to add pressure on Jeffrey while he's working on a huge case. Jeffrey understands why Reva was so worried. They made the right choice. Reva says that she also doesn't like to sleep alone. Jeffrey suggests that Reva grab her coat. He has somewhere he wants to take her. Reva questions where. Jeffrey says she's just going to have to trust him.
Beth and Coop are still in bed at the boarding house.
Beth freaks that she stayed the night. She hopes that Alan believed her lie about the law library. Coop says that Beth shouldn't be with Alan if she's so scared of him. Coop says sorry that is not his place. Beth and Alan have their own life. Beth says it's more about her than Alan. Beth is starting to question her behaviour with Coop. It's starting to scare her. Beth and Coop kiss.
Alan walks into Company and sees Buzz behind the bar.
Alan questions what happened. Buzz says a long story.
Buzz questions why Alan is there. Beth didn't come home last night. Alan was worried about her. They had words about stuff and Beth left home last night. Buzz says that Beth is nowhere around Company. Alan says he walked by the Law Library. Beth's car was there. Alan didn't go inside. He didn't want to make Beth think he was checking up on her. Buzz hands Alan a coffee on the house. Alan says he could have breakfast and wait for Beth. Buzz again says that Beth is not there. Alan questions why Buzz is so jittery. Alan should be at home waiting for Beth. Alan takes the hint and leaves just as Coop comes down the stairs. Coop heads inside to get a coffee. Buzz suggest that Coop needs two of them. That was way too close. Alan almost found out.
At the SPD, Josh sees Shayne. He says that they will see the judge in 2 minutes then Shayne can have bail. Dinah questions what is up with her case. She says it sucks. Josh goes into Shayne's cell and tries to help him. Shayne vehemently tells Josh to back off. Shayne can do it himself. Shayne manoeuvres himself into his wheelchair. Dinah says it's not fair. Shayne threw the first punch and she gets dumped into jail as well. Shayne says that he's sorry for that. He thanks Dinah for helping him. She has a mean right hook. Shayne and Josh leave together.
At Mallet and Marina's house, Mallet awakens to find no Marina in bed. Marina is sitting outside in the garage with the calla lilies from her wedding beside her. Mallet looks around the room for Marina. Mallet searches among the clothes and finds the wedding rings. Marina walks towards the house. She sets the coffee and flowers down on the table. She pulls out a note and attaches it to the door. She looks at it and shakes her head. She pulls the note off and tears it up. She grabs her bag and leaves. Mallet is frantically changing into his clothes. He heads downstairs and looks outside. He sees the flowers on the table. He calls out for Marina.
Jeffrey and Reva are sitting in a park. Reva questions what Jeffrey is doing. Jeffrey tells Reva to be patient. Just then a young woman shows up. Jeffrey introduces Reva to Blossom. Jeffrey tells Reva that Blossom is in law school studying mediation. Next year she's going to be a nanny for a French family. Blossom jokes that her mom is worried about all these French guys hitting on her. Reva suggests giving Blossom Marah's number. Marah can deal with the French guys. Blossom says she has to go. Reva questions why Jeffrey introduced her. Is he already planning on hiring a nanny? Jeffrey says no. Jeffrey tells Reva how 17 years ago when Blossom's mother was pregnant with her. Blossom's mother was diagnosed with leukemia as well. Blossom's mother chose to take the chemo. Reva gets the point. It was nice meeting Blossom.
Josh tells Shayne they have gone far enough. They need to talk and now. Josh knows that there is something wrong with Shayne. It's not just his legs. Shayne says he was just blowing off some steam last night. Why didn't Shayne tells his parents that he got hurt again? Shayne didn't want to worry. Josh says that is a parent's job to worry about their child. Is Shayne going to be in the wheelchair for the rest of his life? Shayne's not sure but gives Josh lip so as not to answer. Josh says fine if Shayne is going to be a pain in the butt then Josh is going to take him to see a higher power. The church? No, Reva. Shayne can wheel himself there.
Beth and Coop are talking at Company. Beth is shocked that Alan came there of all places. Coop reassures Beth there is nothing to be scared about. Beth spent the whole night with Coop. That is a big step in their relationship. Beth says that they can't do this. So are they breaking up again? Coop says that is not going to do any good. Beth says this is so confusing. Coop says it isn't for him. She just needs to see him again on their usual day. Beth and Coop hug. Beth leaves.
Mallet looks for Marina. He finds a cop outside the SPD. Mallet is surprised that Marina bailed out Dinah. Marina is grilling Dinah inside. Marina tells Dinah she's used to her drama but why bring Shayne into it? Shayne is going through a lot. Dinah doesn't need to push him to help break up Mallet and Marina's wedding. What the heck did Dinah whisper in Shayne's ear to have him go off like that last night? Dinah says that was all Shayne. Marina says Dinah did her job. She tanked the wedding. Dinah says that should be a clue? If a little fight can tank Marina's wedding plans. It's not Dinah or Shayne's fault. Maybe the fault is with Marina. Maybe Marina has the problem. Marina says she's considered that. Later on a cop comes in and says that Dinah is free. Dinah questions who posted her bail.
Beth walks inside the Spaulding house. Alan hopes that Beth's studying went well. It went good. He didn't send the hounds out for her this time. Alan says he's trying to abide by Beth's wishes. He promises to stop taking her for granted. Beth questions that if Alan has time, she could use his help. Alan says that it must be important to need his help. Beth says that she is starting a new course on contractual law. Alan knows a lot about that because of Spaulding. Alan is surprised that Beth wants his help. Alan sits down. Beth sits beside him and hands him the notes. Alan says the example is a clear cut case of contractual interference. Does she has somewhere else she has to go? Beth says no. She just has to stay and figure this out.
At Cross Creek, Jeffrey says he has to go for two days to DC. He'll be back soon. Reva says she liked chatting with Blossom. Sometimes you just need to be reminded to be optimistic about stuff. She's glad she has such a charming husband to do that for her. Jeffrey says that for any reason, she can call him. Reva says she'll be fine. Jeffrey leaves. Reva's phone rings. She'll be right there.
Reva arrives at Cedars and sees Shayne. She has tears in her eyes. She and Shayne hug.
At the SPD, Marina walks in and sees Mallet. She got his text. Can this just wait till they get home then they can talk about the situation. Marina has thought about it and suggests some time apart to think about it. Mallet says all they do is think. They've been thinking way too much. Mallet says that last night was completely wrong. They both let doubts come in about their wedding when they should have been thinking about why it has taken them so long to get married. Mallet says that they fit together. Mallet belongs with Marina. Marina questions how Mallet knows that? Mallet knows Marina. He knows how much he loves her. He's been looking for her all his life. He just needed to be reminded of that. Mallet tells that if Marina can bail out Dinah even after everything, it just shows him over and over how much he loves Marina. Mallet tells Marina he's made a few calls. Mallet and Marina head into the courthouse. Marina sees her whole family waiting there with a judge.
Mallet proposes to Marina again.
He's not going to live another day without her being his wife. Marina says yes. Mallet and Marina kiss. Frank yells up that they need to get this right this time.
Dinah is outside when she finds out that Marina was the one that bailed her out.
Inside at the wedding, Coopers hum the wedding march as Frank leads Marina down the aisle. Frank hugs Mallet. Judge thanks everyone for being there.
Love is always patient;
love is always kind;
love is never envious
or arrogant with pride.
Nor is she conceited,
and she is never rude;
she never thinks just of herself
or ever get annoyed.
She never is resentful;
is never glad with sin,
but always glad to side with truth,
whene'er the truth should win.
She bears up under everything,
believes the best in all,
there is no limit to her hope,
and she will never fall.
Marina and Mallet say their vows to each other.
The camera flashes around Springfield.

Beth walks inside the Spaulding house. Alan hopes that Beth's studying went well. It went good. He didn't send the hounds out for her this time. Alan says he's trying to abide by Beth's wishes. He promises to stop taking her for granted. Beth questions that if Alan has time, she could use his help. Alan says that it must be important to need his help. Beth says that she is starting a new course on contractual law. Alan knows a lot about that because of Spaulding. Alan is surprised that Beth wants his help. Alan sits down. Beth sits beside him and hands him the notes. Alan says the example is a clear cut case of contractual interference. Does she has somewhere else she has to go? Beth says no. She just has to stay and figure this out.
At Cross Creek, Jeffrey says he has to go for two days to DC. He'll be back soon. Reva says she liked chatting with Blossom. Sometimes you just need to be reminded to be optimistic about stuff. She's glad she has such a charming husband to do that for her. Jeffrey says that for any reason, she can call him. Reva says she'll be fine. Jeffrey leaves. Reva's phone rings. She'll be right there.
Reva arrives at Cedars and sees Shayne. She has tears in her eyes. She and Shayne hug.
At the SPD, Marina walks in and sees Mallet. She got his text. Can this just wait till they get home then they can talk about the situation. Marina has thought about it and suggests some time apart to think about it. Mallet says all they do is think. They've been thinking way too much. Mallet says that last night was completely wrong. They both let doubts come in about their wedding when they should have been thinking about why it has taken them so long to get married. Mallet says that they fit together. Mallet belongs with Marina. Marina questions how Mallet knows that? Mallet knows Marina. He knows how much he loves her. He's been looking for her all his life. He just needed to be reminded of that. Mallet tells that if Marina can bail out Dinah even after everything, it just shows him over and over how much he loves Marina. Mallet tells Marina he's made a few calls. Mallet and Marina head into the courthouse. Marina sees her whole family waiting there with a judge.
Mallet proposes to Marina again.
He's not going to live another day without her being his wife. Marina says yes. Mallet and Marina kiss. Frank yells up that they need to get this right this time.
Dinah is outside when she finds out that Marina was the one that bailed her out.
Inside at the wedding, Coopers hum the wedding march as Frank leads Marina down the aisle. Frank hugs Mallet. Judge thanks everyone for being there.
Love is always patient;
love is always kind;
love is never envious
or arrogant with pride.
Nor is she conceited,
and she is never rude;
she never thinks just of herself
or ever get annoyed.
She never is resentful;
is never glad with sin,
but always glad to side with truth,
whene'er the truth should win.
She bears up under everything,
believes the best in all,
there is no limit to her hope,
and she will never fall.
Marina and Mallet say their vows to each other.
The camera flashes around Springfield.

Spauldingfan's Perspective
They evidently edited out some of the stuff between Alan and Beth today! The interview with Ron in Soap Opera Weekly last week indicated that Alan actually apologized to Beth and told her he loved her. According to the same interview, Beth is so shaken by Alan's admission that she ends up with Coop and falls asleep. The order appears to have been changed and material cut.
The scenes when taped were said to have been electric because they were so unlike anything the two had taped together before.
Even the scenes between Alan and Buzz left me disappointed because I thought it was going to be one of those moments where Buzz and Alan have an adult male conversation, and I for one enjoy the two of them together.
Oh well.....I think the writing is still getting better--this was more of an editing issue, and there are days where you can tell that they are jump cutting scenes in odd places and that affect the continuity.
I am glad to see Beth getting the camera time! I felt that when the writers put her with Rick they had no idea what to do with her. Now, they have found something. While I am not crazy about her running around with Coop, the story itself is at least interesting.
You get the feeling that she still feels something for Alan but her feelings frighten her. She likes what she gets from being with Coop, but that too leaves her unsettled. She is playing it well. The story also adds some suspense because you know Alan will find out, but when? You know that at some point Beth is going to have to make up her mind, but when? Will Alan catch her in the act, or will he find out some other way? At least they aren't giving it all away!

Dayna's In-Depth Recap: Episode 15567, December 9, 2008
I do....I don't

At the wedding, Eleni hands Marina a bracelet that belonged to her great grandmother.
Marina is touched. She tells her mother not to cry or else Marina will start. Eleni is very happy that she and Frank could be a part of the wedding. Frank says that Marina can always come home if it doesn't work out. Marina says that this wedding is for keeps. Frank still can't believe that Buzz is in Chicago. Buzz will come home when he has the chance. He has to make a big entrance. Eleni and Frank are very happy for Mallet and Marina. Greek weddings are big. Marina laughs right she was the surprise at their wedding. Frank will always be number one for her but he is going to have to learn to share her. Frank says he can try. Josh suggests getting the wedding started.
Outside, Shayne and Dinah watch the wedding. Dinah questions what the heck Shayne is doing in Springfield.
Dinah is there because she lives there, what is his excuse? Is this some type of sick joke. He lied about his name and now he is here. Shayne comments how people at weddings are so hopeful. They believe that love can conqueror all. It's a joke. Dinah questions if Shayne is following her. Shayne tells Dinah it's not all about her. It's just a coincidence then? Shayne says that Mallet and Marina are clueless. They think they can be together and work it all out because of love. Dinah laughs and says that Shayne is quite the cynic. Why has nobody snapped him up already?
Only Love Can Save the World, Only Love . . .
The music begins inside. Frank starts to walk Marina down the aisle as Shayne and Dinah watch.
Dinah didn't think that Mallet would actually go through it but it looks like it's actually going to happen. Nothing is going to stop it not even the rainy y weather. Shayne laughs they are lambs being lead to the slaughter.
Remy and Christina arrive at Mallet and Marina's house.
Christina says the place is really nice. Remy questions where everyone is for the wedding. Mallet and Marina called Remy and Christina to witness their wedding again. Christina laughs. Mallet and Marina want to get married as much as Remy and Christina want to get divorced. She needs to get back to her life and just study for her exams. Remy says she needs to chill and relax. Christina says it's weird being alone in Mallet and Marina's house. She doesn't even know them. Remy reminds Christina that they were invited to Mallet and Marina's wedding as witnesses. That is pretty personal. As personal as wedding a complete stranger. Remy tells Christina not to worry. They will get unhitched soon enough.
Mallet questions if Frank is actually going to give Marina away to him.
Frank says after a couple of questions. It's a stand off.
Eleni tells Frank to just give Marina to Mallet.
Frank has some rules first. Will he promise to take care of Marina? Always. Will he put her first in his life? Always. Will he be the man that she deserves? Mallet says he's going to give it his best shot. Will he promise never to call Frank " Dad " ? Mallet laughs and says that Frank is pushing it. Since it's a hostage situation, Mallet agrees to do it " Dad " . Marina says not best to call Frank " Dad", " Pops" or any other variation. Mallet agrees to terms. Josh begins the ceremony.
Marina tells Josh to get moving before Frank has other demands.
Outside Dinah questions who the heck Shayne is? Why does he even care about this wedding? Shayne says love is doomed. Why is Dinah there? Shayne leaves. Dinah sees Grady and Daisy show up.
Daisy questions if they are late for the wedding. Dinah says she's been trying to reach Grady. Why is she there? She needs to have a conversation with him. There are problems they need to straighten out. Daisy says they should head inside. Grady feels like he is going to court again. Daisy is glad that Grady is making an attempt. It's their first public date as a couple. Grady says it's like putting a pit bull in a crate full of kittens. Daisy says her family will have to come around. Daisy wants to see Grady. He's a part of her life. Dinah stops Grady from heading inside.
Grady will see Daisy in a moment.
Inside, Josh begins his speech. Daisy says sorry late. The Coopers tell Daisy to get her butt inside. Daisy says she'll stand at the back so as not to disturb when Grady gets there. Grady is her date. Frank is pissed off. He questions if Daisy is trying to ruin Marina's wedding. Daisy says no. She came to be a part of a family affair. She brought a gift and everything for Marina and Mallet. Frank says that Daisy is not coming with Grady to the wedding. Marina tells her father to stop. He's ruining her wedding. Daisy is welcome.
Outside, Dinah looks at Grady.
She's been looking under every rock to see where Grady was. What the heck did he do to Bill? He framed Bill for a crime that he.... Grady clarifies they...committed. Grady says that it threw the heat off of Dinah right? Dinah says her brother does not deserve this anymore. Grady says they can talk later. They are done.
Grady heads inside. Frank tells him to leave.
Daisy says that Frank is being the rude one. Where is Buzz? Buzz welcomed Grady into Company. This should be a happy day that belongs to Marina. Frank says he's sorry. Grady says it was a mistake that he came. They just need to accept him. He's a part of Daisy's life. Marina feeling the disaster creep around tells Coop to turn on the music quick before it gets worse.
Shayne is outside in a barn with a beer in his hand.
He pulls out a picture of someone he lost.
Marina tries to reason with her father. Just let Daisy stay please. It doesn't need to be perfect. She just wants to marry Mallet. Frank can't do that. Daisy says fine. She's leaving with Grady. Daisy tells Marina she's sorry. Marina looks beautiful. Daisy laughs and says it was a miracle if she thought that her family would accept Grady. Frank says he's sorry. Marina says she's not getting married without her family there. That includes Daisy. Mallet agrees to go find Daisy for Marina. Daisy says she's done with the Cooper clan.
Dinah says she's not done with Grady. Grady says they are. She just needs to think about what he said. Dinah questions what else can go wrong with today. Just then Mallet sees Dinah.
Remy and Mel are at Towers. Remy is mooching food.
He wants to do something for Christina. Mel says she can't move faster with the divorce. Remy says it's not the divorce. Does she remember the cheat sheets she offered before the MCATs to him? Mel does. Remy says he wants to give them to Christina to help her with her test. Isn't that a touchy subject? Remy says that he will work it out. Christina needs a break in her life. Mel agrees to bring them over to Mallet and Marina's house. Remy leaves.
Josh says he has to reschedule something. The wedding is going into overtime. Ashlee offers Eleni a cheese puff.
Eleni says that she doesn't know what is happening but Frank has to learn he can't control everything. Grady didn't seem that bad. Ashlee clarifies saying that Grady is Cyrus' brother. Cyrus is the reason that Harley is still in Greece. Grady is also the reason why Cassie's daughter Tammy is dead. Coop explains that Frank is like a dog with a red truck when he sees a Foley. He can't control his emotions. Ashlee says she expected calm today. Coop laughs and says that chaos is more common then normal with the Cooper clan now. Normal is long gone.
Marina lectures Frank.
Why couldn't he just let it go? Frank doesn't have to control everything. She didn't need fighting at her wedding. Marina says she's fine in doing it alone with Mallet if needed. Frank says he's sorry for being pushy. Marina says she's going to go outside to cool down. When she returns their better be peace and harmony or she is arresting all of them for disturbing the peace at her wedding. Marina leaves. Marina is walking around outside when she sees Shayne.
Hey long time no see. Shayne is uncomfortable. Marina is stunned.
Remy returns to find Christina comfy on the couch reading a gossip magazine. Remy says she's going to love him. Christina looks at Remy.
She's going to love what he did for her. He's got some incredible study notes from Mel that will help her. Christina says she's has study notes on how to read study notes. She just wants this divorce so she can move on with her life. He can do that for her. She needs to go on with her life. It's like they are together but not really together especially after he married her while he was drunk. He didn't choose her while he was sober right.
Marina is stunned to see Shayne in the wheelchair. She rushes over and hugs him. What happened to him? Shayne says that it is only temporary.
Marina knew that Shayne was going to get hurt working with landmines. Shayne says she was right. Why is he here? He didn't call her or anything. Shayne is not staying. He heard about her wedding. She's getting married today. It's a lot more complicated now. Does he remember A.C. Mallet? They can head inside and he can meet them. Shayne can even see Josh. Shayne is adamant that Josh not know that he is back in town. Why? No problem why but she can not tell Josh. Why is she even doing this? What? Marrying a man. Does she think she can actually be happy? What? Does he have to say it again? Does she think she will be happy with Mallet? Marina says she can be. Is this about them? That was a long time ago. She's moved on with her life. Shayne says he's not there because of them. If not then why is he there and doing this to her? Does she think she can be happy with Mallet? He's a good guy. She wants to be happy. Shayne says she's not going to be happy.
Mallet questions what Dinah is doing there?
She wasn't planning on coming. She just showed up. It's just one last goodbye. It's never that way with them. It's never that simple. Dinah laughs the wedding is like a train wreck. You can't turn away. You have to watch. Mallet thanks Dinah for the analogy. Dinah knows there is nothing she can do about it. She's still hanging onto hope. Dinah will be fine. She's not going to freak out or give excuses. He's told her that he's happy with Marina. She knows that. She just can't stay away from Mallet. It's not possible. Mallet hugs Dinah.
Marina questions how Shayne knows Mallet. Shayne doesn't. Shayne just knows that Mallet is not going to make Marina happy. Mallet was married to Harley when they were in playpens. It's going to end and badly. Marina questions what happened to Shayne. Shayne says they all get sucker punched by love. It gets the better of us. Is this because he's in a chair? Shayne says no. Then what is it? Shayne says he's just trying to show her some reality. He's trying to warn her. Bull. Marina knows Shayne. She knows how he feels about life. Shayne says they were kids. They had no clue back then what could happen. Marina questions what happened to Shayne over there to change him so much?
Dinah says that Mallet has told her over and over that he loves Marina.
She gets it. She doesn't like it but she gets it. It's hard for her. Mallet says it's just as hard for him to move on. Dinah says she feels like she's treading water. Not in her head. It's fine. It's her heart. She will keep her distance. It's his day with is wife not with his ex wife. She's not going to ruin it for him. It's just going to take her some time.
Shayne says it's not about him and what happened over there. So, he came home to crash her wedding? She's sorry but she's happy with Mallet. She loves Mallet. Is he enough for her? What else is there in life? Shayne says the person you love the most is always the person that leaves you. Love doesn't guarantee that they are going to stay. Marina says that is a load of garbage. Marina says that Shayne must be drunk. He needs sleep. He can go have some sleep. She will call him tomorrow. Shayne says he's not drunk. He just wants her to see the reality. Marina says he's wrong about everything. She welcomes him home and leaves.
Marina walks to Company and sees Mallet comforting Dinah. Marina rushes off. Shayne sees Marina run by and calls out to her.
Shayne heads to the front and sees Dinah with Mallet. Of course. Shayne shakes his head.
Daisy and Grady are inside the barn.
Daisy questions what is up with her family. She shouldn't have expected a miracle that they might just accept Grady. There has to be more with life. It can't be ordinary. Look at Bill and Lizzie. Bill came back to Lizzie. Grady says but there is the kidnapping charges. They will go away when Bill is found innocent. Bill and Lizzie can then have their happy ending. Bill and Lizzie have fought through so much to be together. Daisy questions why her family can't forgive Grady.
Remy and Christina are talking about if their marriage is a mistake when Mel shows up with the MCAT notes. Mel drops a bomb and says that she can't do their case anymore.
She has too much on her plate. They are just going to have to go through regular channels. It will just take a bit longer to get divorced. Remy and Christina try to sweet talk Mel but it's a no go. They are on their own. Remy tries to reason with his sister. They are very thankful that Mel decided to help them. Mel says they need to do a lot more talking and figure out what they want. Mel leaves.
Grady gives Daisy his jacket. Grady says there are some things that her family can not accept. He's just going to accept that. Daisy says true but Bill understands what it's like to be an outcast. Maybe he can take a chance on Grady and give him a job? Daisy can put in a good word for Grady. Grady laughs at the concept of working for Bill. That's not going to happen. Daisy says that Grady underestimates his potential. She tells him he can do anything that he puts his mind to. Does Daisy really see him that way? All he wants right now is Daisy.
Frank and Eleni talk at Company.
Frank is sorry he ruined the wedding. Eleni says he has to learn he can't control everything. People love who they love. Coop says that this wedding is one for the books. It could be worse right. Josh questions if there is going to be a wedding. Marina arrives and says there is still a wedding today.
Where is Mallet? Josh can go and find him. Marina stops Josh saying that Mallet will be back soon.
Mallet questions if Dinah is going to be fine. Dinah says she's a survivor right. He pulled her out of that fire years ago. She can come inside if she wants. Dinah says that would be too much. Mallet wants Marina. Mallet will always remember what he had with Dinah. Dinah thanks him and says goodbye. Mallet leaves and heads inside.
He sees Marina. Marina kisses him.
She cloyingly says she thought he would be back before her. Mallet got caught up in something. He couldn't find Daisy. Marina says it's probably best for Daisy to cool off. It will also give Frank time to cool down. Marina says it's a long story what happened. She's glad that Mallet is there. Coop says he wants the wedding to finish so he can eat. Marina says of course it's all about Coop. Coop says he wants to see them happy. Frank tells Josh to start from the top. He promises not to crash the wedding.
Dinah and Shayne are outside. Shayne says he tried to reason with Marina.
Dinah questions how the heck Shayne knows Marina? Shayne doesn't owe Dinah any explanation. Dinah pushes again who the heck is he.
Remy and Christina are at the gym.
They are looking at a book on divorce. Remy questions where they are supposed to get started. Christina says she's read too many books. Remy is sorry that Mel flaked out on them. They are stuck longer together than planned. Remy suggests dinner to talk about their divorce. Christina agrees.
Mel confesses on the phone to Felicia that she couldn't take the case.
If Remy and Christina divorce then they have no reason to talk. They just need time to realize how perfect they are for each other.
Daisy and Grady make out in the seedy motel.
Josh is doing the vows about love as Dinah and Shayne listen. Shayne can't listen anymore and crashes the wedding.
Josh sees Shayne and questions what happened to his son. Frank remarks on little Shayne Lewis. Dinah is surprised by the name of her confidante. Mallet says Shayne is the man that picked the fight with him. What is he doing? What is he trying to get out of this? Josh questions again what is wrong. Shayne says sarcastically it's just a scratch nothing more. Shayne just has one question. Shayne and Mallet spar. Does Mallet really think that he can love, honour and protect Marina? Can he really do it in this world? Mallet says he can. He doesn't want Shayne to cause trouble. Josh is just going to take Shayne home. Shayne says he's staying put. Shayne gets up and hits Mallet square in the mouth.
Cops pull Shayne off of Mallet.

Marina is stunned to see Shayne in the wheelchair. She rushes over and hugs him. What happened to him? Shayne says that it is only temporary.
Marina knew that Shayne was going to get hurt working with landmines. Shayne says she was right. Why is he here? He didn't call her or anything. Shayne is not staying. He heard about her wedding. She's getting married today. It's a lot more complicated now. Does he remember A.C. Mallet? They can head inside and he can meet them. Shayne can even see Josh. Shayne is adamant that Josh not know that he is back in town. Why? No problem why but she can not tell Josh. Why is she even doing this? What? Marrying a man. Does she think she can actually be happy? What? Does he have to say it again? Does she think she will be happy with Mallet? Marina says she can be. Is this about them? That was a long time ago. She's moved on with her life. Shayne says he's not there because of them. If not then why is he there and doing this to her? Does she think she can be happy with Mallet? He's a good guy. She wants to be happy. Shayne says she's not going to be happy.
Mallet questions what Dinah is doing there?
She wasn't planning on coming. She just showed up. It's just one last goodbye. It's never that way with them. It's never that simple. Dinah laughs the wedding is like a train wreck. You can't turn away. You have to watch. Mallet thanks Dinah for the analogy. Dinah knows there is nothing she can do about it. She's still hanging onto hope. Dinah will be fine. She's not going to freak out or give excuses. He's told her that he's happy with Marina. She knows that. She just can't stay away from Mallet. It's not possible. Mallet hugs Dinah.
Marina questions how Shayne knows Mallet. Shayne doesn't. Shayne just knows that Mallet is not going to make Marina happy. Mallet was married to Harley when they were in playpens. It's going to end and badly. Marina questions what happened to Shayne. Shayne says they all get sucker punched by love. It gets the better of us. Is this because he's in a chair? Shayne says no. Then what is it? Shayne says he's just trying to show her some reality. He's trying to warn her. Bull. Marina knows Shayne. She knows how he feels about life. Shayne says they were kids. They had no clue back then what could happen. Marina questions what happened to Shayne over there to change him so much?
Dinah says that Mallet has told her over and over that he loves Marina.
She gets it. She doesn't like it but she gets it. It's hard for her. Mallet says it's just as hard for him to move on. Dinah says she feels like she's treading water. Not in her head. It's fine. It's her heart. She will keep her distance. It's his day with is wife not with his ex wife. She's not going to ruin it for him. It's just going to take her some time.
Shayne says it's not about him and what happened over there. So, he came home to crash her wedding? She's sorry but she's happy with Mallet. She loves Mallet. Is he enough for her? What else is there in life? Shayne says the person you love the most is always the person that leaves you. Love doesn't guarantee that they are going to stay. Marina says that is a load of garbage. Marina says that Shayne must be drunk. He needs sleep. He can go have some sleep. She will call him tomorrow. Shayne says he's not drunk. He just wants her to see the reality. Marina says he's wrong about everything. She welcomes him home and leaves.
Marina walks to Company and sees Mallet comforting Dinah. Marina rushes off. Shayne sees Marina run by and calls out to her.
Shayne heads to the front and sees Dinah with Mallet. Of course. Shayne shakes his head.
