The Big Day
After a passionate night at The Palace, Bo reluctantly gets dressed for Asa's wedding. Lindsay encourages him to go and as he is about to do so, he returns to the bed and asks Lindsay to be his date.
As Viki prepares to leave for the wedding, the doorbell rings and Ben, all decked out in a tux, grins at her. Viki, after a change of heart, decided to ask Ben to not come to the wedding, explaining that she thought it might make Clint uncomfortable. Ben takes it well, telling her he understands, and after they say how much they love one another, he leaves to check on Sam.
Over at St. James's Church, Max sat contemplating his imminent marriage to Kelly when Blair came up from behind and surprised him. She is upset when he tells her he can't go through with it and pushes him on with the promise that she will be waiting for him when it's over. R.J. shows up with the ring and tells him he should pray for a reprieve.
Asa asks Clint to intervene in Bo and Nora's breakup to get them back together. Clint refuses to do so and Asa, launching into his blind hatred of all things Rappaport, gives yet another 然appaport's are the cause of the everything wrong with the world' speech. Andrew walks in and everyone wonders where Max and Bo are. Asa sneers at Blair's cake performance the night before and vows that if Max ever hurts Kelly, he'll tear him from limb to limb.
Clint and Bo greet one another at the church, and much to Asa's chagrin, Lindsay shows up on Bo's arm. After everyone leaves the room, Blair appears from hiding and rushes to Max's dressing room. Passions explode and the wedding is momentarily forgotten.
Clint and Lindsay chat and he tells her she's more tolerable now that they aren't married. Clint goes on to warn her that Bo will never get over Nora. When Lindsay goes into the church, Clint turns around and faces Viki. He excuses himself and greets a woman with a hug, then turns around and introduces Viki to 船allas'. Viki tries to explain Ben's absence, regretting her decision to not include Ben. In distress, she tells Kevin what she had done, and he convinces her that she needn't attend yet another Asa Buchanan wedding. In relief she rushes out of the church to Ben's arms.
In another part of the church Kelly, Grace, Jessica and Renee are putting on the finishing touches. When asked if she had 壮omething old', Kelly straps on the watch that Joey gave her. Everyone discreetly leaves when Joey shows up. He tells Kelly she has never looked more beautiful. Joey confesses his love for her, and even though she responds that there is no chance of backing out of the wedding, she is moved by his declaration of love and is obviously having doubts that marrying Max is the right thing to do.
As the ladies leave for the wedding, Renee asks Nora to stay behind a moment and when they are alone she asks her if she has found out anything new about her son. Nora encourages Renee to tell Asa about him, but Renee can't do that.
Asa is angrily asking where Max is, and R.J. goes to find him. Already in a scramble to get dressed, Max and Blair panic when R.J. knocks, and Blair goes into hiding. After Max lets R.J. in, R.J. tells him it might be a good idea to wash the lipstick off his face.
The procession begins and Grace and Nora are the first to head down the aisle, followed by two very nervous and extremely agitated brides. Renee, because she's reconsidering her decision to keep Asa's and her son a secret from Asa. Kelly, because the reality of what she's about to do hits her.
Andrew reads the vows, and after Max says 選 do', Kelly says 選 don't'. She then rushes out of the church with Max running after her and Blair jumps into the picture in a panic as she sees dollar signs run out the door with Kelly.
Andrew then turns to Asa and Renee and Renee responds, 選 can't say I do. I can't marry you'.

The day began with Kelly and Dorian outside the church. Kelly was crying and upset, when Max ran out after her. Kelly told him that she didn't love him and didn't want to marry him. She asked him if he loved her, and he let it slip that he had kissed Blair. That was enough to convince Kelly to get in the car with Dorian. Max only left when Dorian threatened to shoot him with pepper spray. Once in the car, Kelly confided in Dorian that she was marrying Max so that she wouldn't feel anything. Dorian convinced her that loving Mel was still worth the pain of losing him. After much crying and hugging, Kelly finally admitted that she is falling in love with Joey. She wants to go find him before it's too late for them. Meanwhile, Joey went to the Crossroads and began drinking. Sophia recognized him from a picture in the newspaper and began to flirt with him at the pool table.
Back inside the church, both Bo and Clint were confused as to what was going on between their pa and Renee. Grace and Kevin discussed Joey and Kelly and she told him she doesn't want to invest in her new family. Nora tried to talk to Bo, but Lindsay interrupted them. Jessica was uncomfortable sitting and waiting, where Cristian promises to be a good husband and stepfather when the time is right. Clint told her that he would be proud for her to marry Cris, and that he's happy she decided to keep the baby. Nora confronted Lindsay about being so jumpy and scared. Then Nora asked Bo if they could go for a walk, in order to avoid any further interruptions. Once in the cemetery, Nora began to tell Bo what was on her mind, reassuring him that she did not blame him for shooting Sam. Bo told her that he knew she wanted to move on with her life, so he would not contest their divorce. Before Nora could correct him, Lindsay interrupted again.
Renee and Asa went to another room to talk. Asa was upset at first, but calmed down once he heard what Renee had to say. She finally told him that the reason she broke their relationship off in Nevada was that she had been pregnant with his son, and had then given the baby up for adoption. Asa was confused, but promised her they would do whatever it took to locate their boy. They never realized that Blair had been listening to the entire conversation. Then they returned to the church, where Asa thanked the guests for being patient. Before Andrew resumed the ceremony, Asa asked Bo if he and Nora wanted to renew their vows. They both shook their heads in disagreement. Asa and Renee then finished the wedding.
Max ended up in the same room where Asa and Renee had been talking, Blair was still there. She told him what she heard them say and that they have stumbled onto a "gold mine." She wants to go after Asa's money now, and leave Kelly alone.
Kevin was able to convince Grace to stick around for Asa and Renee's reception. Grace later stood up to Asa when he insulted the Rappaports during a toast. Lindsay went searching for Nora and later became upset when she realized Nora told Andrew the truth about Bo's test results. Lindsay listened in as Andrew told Nora not to tell either Sam or Bo until she had a DNA test taken to determine who Matthew's father was. At Sam's, Ben and Sam talked to Grace about when she was a baby. Ben convinced Grace to stay in Llanview and she agreed to move in with Sam. Meanwhile, Kelly desperately tried to find Joey. At the Crossroads, a drunken Joey couldn't resist a seductive Sophia. Clint gave Cristian his blessing to marry Jessica, and an elated Jessica later accepted Cristian's marriage proposal.
After he spent the night with Sophia, a remorseful Joey told her that he was not ready to get involved. When Joey returned home, he found Kelly waiting for him on his doorstep. Kelly tearfully explained to Joey that she did not marry Max and then professed her love. Later, Sophia called the gatehouse and Joey nervously told Kelly it was a wrong number. Lindsay confronted Nora and threatened to tell Sam and Bo the truth if Nora had Matthew's DNA tested. Nora challenged Lindsay and decided to go through with the DNA test anyway. R.J. tried to rattle both T饌 and Sykes when he saw them together at The Palace restaurant. Bo and Clint were genuinely happy when Asa gave them the shocking news that they had another brother. Will wasn't happy to learn of Jessica's engagement, but she assured him that no matter what, he would always be a part of their baby's life.
