While Lila discusses glamorous wedding plans with Matt, he fantasizes about marrying Sofia. When Matt tires of the conversation and leaves, Rachel informs Lila that there will be no fancy wedding; it will be treated like the shotgun wedding that it is. Lila defends herself to Rachel, saying she didn't force Matt to marry her, that she was ready to leave and that Matt stopped her and proposed. Rachel told her that no matter how much she tries to fool herself, they all know Matt doesn't want to marry her, but that she has made it unavoidable. But Lila won't back down from planning the wedding of her dreams. After Lila makes wedding plans, Rachel calls everyone back and cancels them.

Sofia talks to Paulina about Matt, saying that she can't wait around for Matt to marry and then divorce Lila. She says she takes marriage far too seriously to take part in that. But Paulina reminds Sofia that once Lila realizes the Corys are broke, she may not want to marry Matt.

Matt pleads with Sofia not to give up on them. He insists that they can make things work after the baby was born, but Sofia can't agree.

As Donna prepares to come forward with the truth, Jake confronts them and asks what was going on between them. While Jake and Grant bicker, Donna uses the opportunity to slip away. Jake notices that Grant was disturbed that Donna left. Donna went to Marley's house but finds her gone.

Cindy and Marley go out in the car, and when Marley appears overly upset Cindy insists on driving. She decides the first place they should go was the graveyard.

Vicky visits Michael's grave, telling him how much she misses him, and how much she blames herself for his death. She also told him how worried she was about Marley and laments the fact that he's not there to tell her what to do.

As they enter the graveyard, Marley gets more and more nervous about her plan and asks Cindy to just go home. But Cindy was determined to remember something. As Vicky walks into the path of their car, Marley and Cindy struggle with the steering wheel. Cindy was left unconscious in the car and Vicky was unconscious at the side of the road. Marley flees the scene. Cindy comes to and finds Vicky. As Cindy begs for Vicky to wake up, Vicky grabs her by the throat and declares that she was in big trouble.

Vicky was fine and holds Cindy while she calls the police. Cindy insists that it was an accident, but Vicky told her that she saw her behind the wheel. Cindy says that she never saw Vicky, that it was Marnie who grabbed the wheel. Vicky makes the connection that Marley and Marnie are the same person.

Back at home, Marley was being overwhelmed with guilt when Vicky arrives. She pretends to be asleep, but Vicky questions her about whether she was with Cindy. As Donna walks in behind Vicky, Vicky told Marley that after Marley sent her to Michael's grave, someone almost ran her down.

Marley still denies that she had anything to do with the attempt on Vicki's life. Donna was relieved. Marley says that she went for a walk.

Josie told Joe that she and Cameron were working together on a case for the FBI involving Carl's shooting and Scott. She also informed Joe that she just found out that Cameron was Gary's brother. Therefore, she wants to be taken off the case. Joe disagreed. Joe was going to leak that Josie was off the case so that way Scott will think that Josie was out of his way, but she will be working undercover with Cameron. Cameron complimented Josie's ability on handling the case to Joe. Josie and Cameron made plans for dinner at the Harbor Club for that evening and discussed their next plan....to warn Amanda.

Gary gave Amanda back her money and refused to work on the case against Cameron especially since they are brothers. He told Amanda that Cameron killed someone in cold blood. Amanda was in denial. Gary tried to convince Amanda, but Amanda continued to defend Cameron. She refused Gary's advice. Cameron had walked in just as Amanda was giving Gary back the money. Cameron asked Amanda what the money was for. Amanda was honest and told him the truth. Cameron got angry. Amanda tried to explain, but Cameron didn't want to listen. Cameron and Gary argued. After Gary left, Cameron told Amanda that everything Gary said was true about the murder. She didn't believe him. Cameron warned Amanda that Scott was getting messy and more dangerous. He tried to leave, but he and Amanda began to kiss passionately. She asked him if there was something else he was not telling her. Cameron refused to tell her what it was and stormed out. Amanda then ordered information on the murder case from the research department at Cory Publishing.

Gary went to see Josie at the police station. She tried to convince Gary to make up with Cameron. He refused. She then told him about her undercover work with Cameron. Gary was very angry, but realized he had no say in this matter. Josie then made plans with Gary to have dinner at the Harbor Club.

Sofia and Matt ran into each other at the hospital. Sofia expressed her anger about Matt's marriage to Lila. Matt asked for her understanding. An angry Sofia left Matt after a heated argument.

Lila bragged to Cass about her wedding to Matt, which was to take place tomorrow. Lila made it clear she did not care about Sofia's feelings. Cass expressed his anger and disappointment in Lila. Rachel walked in on their conversation. Cass couln't understand why Rachel was turning Matt and Lila's sham of a wedding into a society wedding. Rachel said she was doing this for the baby. Rachel then asked Lila to leave her and Cass alone to discuss business.

After Lila left, Rachel informed Cass that there were papers missing from the Hutchins' file in Cass' office. The family tree that was on the piece of paper with the crest on it, which was the same crest that was on the postcard that she sent Cass while in England, was missing. Cass said the file should have been locked up. He checked his suit jacket and found that his keys had been missing. Whoever hit him over the head, did it to steel his keys.

Matt went to see Cass. Cass snapped at Matt for going through with the wedding. He apologized. Rachel informed Matt about Cass' missing keys and that she thinks it was Scott who stole them. Matt got angry and vowed to keep his family from being pushed around.

On his way out of Cass' room, he ran into Lila . She had her blood test and was glowing. Sofia watched from a distance while they exchanged words. After Matt left, Sofia approached Lila and assured her that her marriage to Matt will make the child suffer.

After Rachel left, Lila went in to see Cass again. She read him her vow to Matt. Cass was even more disgusted. Lila told Cass the reason for the vow is because everyone will know that her baby was a Cory. Cass asked Lila that if someone could love her and her baby, would she still go through with the wedding. As she wiped the tears away she said, "That person doesn't exist."

Scott was at Cory Publishing reading the family tree when Matt tried to go in the office and discovered that it was locked. He finally made his way in, with the help of an electronic code, and questioned Scott about the locked door. Scott said that he did not want to be disturbed. Matt made it clear to Scott that he was very protective of his family. Matt went back to the hospital and told Rachel about his confrontation with Scott.

Rachel was going on and on about that there has to be a way to stop the wedding. Tyrone comes in with legal books to look for existing precedents.

Sofia went to Matt's office, obviously expecting him not to be there. Sofia hands Matt a legal paper to sign that will give her their music company. Matt argues that the company needs both of them to survive. Sofia counters that this way they will both get what they want. Sofia will get a healthy company and Matt will get a healthy baby. Sofia then says that she wants the company because it was her baby.

Josie and Toni are talking about the FBI case that Josie and Cameron were working on. Josie said that was was no wonder that Gary couldn't turn anything up on Cameron since the Feds had wiped Cameron's records clean. Toni says that she has an idea of who helped Cindy escape from the hospital, but that if that person were a friend's husband then she would have to turn them in and doesn't want to do that.

Gary covered well with Grant about being in Cindy's room. Grant threatens Gary that if he finds out that Gary was the one that "kidnapped" Cindy then Gary and Josie will pay. Cindy pretends not to know Gary and then "remembers" all that Grant told her about what a bad man Gary is. Grant hugs Cindy as Gary slips out. Dr. Nolan comes in and takes Grant out into the hallway to talk to him. Dr. Nolan says that he was ready to give Cindy the shot and that this time he won't mess up. Grant says that he was not going to give Cindy the shot now, he wants to make sure that she doesn't remember to the wrong people. Gary, dressed in scrubs, complete with facemask, sneaks back into Cindy's room. Cindy was relieved to see him.

Tyrone and Cass are looking for a loophole so that Matt won't have to marry Lila. Rachel leaves to get home because she was the matron-of-honor. Cass told Tyrone to look for Rivers vs. Rivers because they need to save her. Tyrone calls Cass on this slip.

Lila, in Rachel's room, has her something blue (a garter) and starts looking for something borrowed. She comes across Rachel's diamond necklace and decides to borrow it without asking.

Remy told Nick that she was leaving because Felicia will learn that she can't type and so she will lose that job and with Carlino's closed for repairs she will have no money coming in. Nick says that he will miss her then asks about Sofia. Nick says Sofia needs a friend and he was willing to be her friend.

Sofia asks Matt to give her the business so that she can keep her dignity. Matt says that when he listens to "their" music he hears the hope that they both have for their future. Sofia says that they don't have a future anymore. Matt says that he was sorry that he keeps hurting her. Sofia asks Matt again to sign the papers and then told him congratulations. Matt asks what for and Sofia says, with tears in her eyes, "isn't that what you are supposed to tell the groom?"

Rachel walks in on Lila wearing the diamond necklace. Lila rattles on and on about the wedding and the guests and everything, then says that she will leave so that Rachel can change. Rachel says that she isn't going to change, that what she was wearing seems appropriate, it seems bloody. Lila grabs Rachel to help Lila get her wedding dress on.

Cass says that he doesn't want Lila to marry Matt because he was the wrong person for her. Tyrone and Cass continue looking for precedents for paternal rights.

Lila looks absolutely beautiful in her dress. Lila was telling Rachel what a gorgeous day it was and Rachel says, "Yes, nice day for a hanging." Lila talks about how this wedding was so important to her because her wedding to Shane wasn't elaborate enough. Rachel says that she thought that getting Matt was what was so important to Lila, not the wedding itself. Rachel told Lila that she married Mac for two reasons, because she loved him and he loved her and that she married Carl for the same two reasons. Rachel and Lila walk into the chapel and Lila was absolutely stunned. There are no guests, no flowers, and no music. Rachel cancelled everything! Rachel told Lila that she was offered a ring and a marriage certificate. Lila looks to Matt for support, but he agrees with his mom. Rachel told Lila that all that she was really offered was a name for the baby. Lila told Matt that because she didn't get what she wants then he doesn't get what he wants. The wedding was off!

Matt told Rachel to give Lila what she wants so "we can get this thing over with now." Lila orders Rachel to get the flowers, the string quartet, and the guests, and to have one of the servants call her when everything was ready.

Cindy told Gary that her memory was coming back and that she hasn't told Grant, but that she did tell Grant that she thinks that once she gets home that all of her memories will come back. Gary asks Cindy what the cowboy wallpaper means and if anymore memories have come back. Cindy was still blank on that. Gary told Cindy to call him if she remembers anything or gets scared again. Grant, in the hallway, sees the new "doctor" (Gary in disguise) and sends a nurse in to check on him. Apparently this was the same doctor that came to see Cindy a few weeks ago, the exact day that Cindy disappeared in fact. Grant places a call to Toni.

Josie told Toni that Cameron isn't all that bad. Toni says that she understands how Gary feels. That it would be hard being a cop and having a brother that breaks the law. Josie says that Gary and Cameron need each other and that she will help them discover that. Josie told Toni that she arraigned for all three of them to have dinner together.

Toni was told about a phone call. It's Grant, he was giving Toni a chance to redeem herself for letting Cindy get kidnapped under her nose. Toni can redeem herself by arresting the person that kidnapped Cindy, Gary Sinclair.

Remy has all of her stuff packed and was ready to leave. She thanks Nick for taking her to the train station. Sofia comes in and Nick says that he'll be back to talk to Sofia after he takes Remy to the train station. Remy told Sofia that she was moving on to somewhere where unskilled labor was in large demand. Sofia offers to loan her money until Carlino's opens in two to three weeks. Remy declines the offer and says that she has plans. Remy went to say goodbye to her plants, then trips and fakes a sprained ankle. Nick carries her out the door to the hospital with Remy wondering all the way, "What if I miss the train?"

Gary was ready to leave Cindy's room when Grant walks in and rips the mask off of Gary's face. Grant accuses of trying to kidnap Cindy again.

Cindy thanks Grant for protecting her. Gary leaves the room. Grant told Cindy that he got permission to take her home. He assures her that she will have 24 hour a day care and that he will watch her.

Toni and Josie show up at the hospital. Grant accuses Gary of kidnapping Cindy and told Toni to arrest Gary. Grant threatens Josie, that if he ever finds out that she knew about Gary hiding Cindy, then she will be up on charges also.

Sofia, in the loft alone, starts imagining that she was seeing Matt. Sofia told Matt to go away and leave her alone. He doesn't listen. She told him to get out of her thoughts and he says that he can't, she loves him too much. Sofia picks up the paper and sees the article about Matt and Lila's wedding and she gets mad.

Rachel has everything ready for the wedding. The flowers are arranged, the string quartet was playing, and the guests are seated. Lila was back in Rachel's bedroom, gloating over how easy it was to get her way.

Tyrone has given up on trying to find a precedent. Cass was still looking. Suddenly Cass says that he has found something!

Today's recap was provided by Julie Kaczor

Joe told Gary he can't just let matters drop, except that Grant's evidence against him was very flimsy. The only thing that could really put him away was if Josie knows anything about his harboring Cindy. When Joe questions Josie about whether she knew anything about Gary harboring Cindy, she lies for her husband and says no. Gary was grateful, but Josie was furious because she had to lie to her boss and put her career

on the line for Gary. Josie compares Gary's obsession with catching Grant with his alcoholism and says she was tired of enabling him. She also told him that he and Cameron are more alike than they think.

At the dinner Josie arranged with Gary and Cameron, the tension between the brothers was thick. Eventually, they nearly come to blows. Cameron leaves the dinner in anger. He runs into Amanda and they leave for home together. At home, Cameron admits to Amanda that the person he killed was his father.

Cass sends a reluctant Felicia to stop Matt and Lila's wedding until Tyrone can get there.

Matt fantasizes about Sofia during his vows to Lila at their wedding. Then Felicia bursts in and interrupts the ceremony.

Tyrone was stuck in traffic, he won't make it to the wedding on time. So Cass leaves the hospital to go there himself. Cass arrives at the last second to stop the wedding. He reads from a precedent where an unwed father can retain all parental rights as long as he meets the financial obligations of the child. Upon hearing this news, Matt calls off the wedding. He runs to Sofia's apartment to tell her, but she was out with Joe.

Lila, upset, tries to leave, but Cass presents her with a court order that she must stay in touch with Matt until the baby was born. Lila was furious with Cass. She feels sorry for herself and Cass tries to explain that you can't earn love and respect by manipulating people. He tells her she deserves to be loved. Lila swears she will never forgive Cass. He wants to comfort her, but she won't let him.

Scott was getting frustrated by Carl's puzzles, and displays a show of anger in front of Amanda. He explains it away, but after she leaves, he vows that as soon as he finds the money, she'll never see him again.

Scott finally cracks Carl's code and finds where the money was being kept. He tries to reallocate the funds, but the account was in the names of Carl's children, and the bank told Scott that the children will have to be present in order to move the funds.
