Austin and Lucas find they've each brought a hospitalized Carrie get-well gifts and end up arguing again. John advises Belle that if she tries to go back to Shawn and he rejects her, she'll end up without Philip too. Abe tries to follow Alex but loses him. Using his own keys, Alex enters Lexie's office and tells himself he'll kill Marlena before he allows her to return to John. He grabs a set of keys and then is caught by Abe but Alex convinces him he's just looking for Lexie. Meanwhile, Marlena regains much of her memory but when she tells Lexie she remembers the explosion and falling down the stairs, Lexie gives her a sedative to calm her. Alex then stands guard over her. Lexie runs into Tek and kisses him but then claims it's too public there. She returns to her office where she finds a smug Sami sitting in her chair. Sami wants to talk about who Carrie will choose to be with but when Lexie orders her to get out, Sami admits she knows about her affair with Tek. Bonnie and Kate arrive at the loft and, seeing how nervous Mimi is, offer to stop Belle from attending her wedding today. Instead, Mimi calls Belle over and, handing her a present in thanks for being her matron of honor, talks at length about how grateful Mimi is to her for helping her to live happily ever after. She continues to heap praise on Belle, calling her the best friend she could ever have. Out in the hall, Kate and Bonnie smile as they listen.

Belle stops the wedding and claims it's because Chelsea has entered the church. Shawn asks Bo to throw her out but Bo walks her out instead. Kate instructs Bonnie to fetch Claire to keep Belle from stopping the wedding again.

She goes on to lament the fact that her daughter will not have her father anymore. Frankie argues that she owes it to herself and her children to move on with her life.

Pressed for her decision, Carrie tells Austin and Lucas that she cares for both of them. Lexie interrupts with some discharge instructions for Carrie.

Sami tells Lucas that if Carrie has chosen Austin, she's okay with that which makes Lucas realize she must be planning something.
