Having spent the night in Marlena's room, Alex is revealed to have been playing hypnotic-type tapes for Marlena to get her under his control. While John boasts to Alex that Marlena's about to have a breakthrough and doesn't need him anymore, Marlena reacts the opposite and threatens to leave if Alex goes. Bo and Hope are shocked when a scantily clad Chelsea announces that she's wearing this sexy outfit to today's wedding, thanks to Kate. As Abby and Chelsea paw through the many outfits Kate gave her, Chelsea suggests that Abby dump her nerdy friend and find a real man, offering her one of the outfits to wear. After Jennifer complains that Chelsea's a bad influence on her daughter, Bo has a talk with his daughter and convinces her to wear a cover-up of some sort. Meanwhile, when Abby appears in an equally shocking outfit, Jennifer sends her upstairs to change. Later, Bo and Hope overhear Chelsea chastising Abby for dressing like her mom. Meanwhile, as Kate moans about not being able to attend the wedding, Billie asks her to stop lavishing Chelsea with gifts. Abe lets Roman know that, thanks to an electronic listening device, Tony is blaming "Stan" for the failed escape attempt. Roman confesses his fear that Tony may ruin Sami's wedding. Roman visits with Sami as she gets ready for the wedding and urges her to remember "honesty" and "integrity" above all. Caroline pipes up with a third word, "forgiveness." Sami urges Roman not to give up on being with Marlena.

At the loft, a cheery Belle chattered on about how she hoped she would not faint at her sister's wedding as Philip limped down the stairs without a cane. Belle was amazed by his slight limp, and Philip praised his new prosthesis, positing that he may be able to dance with his wife at the reception. Feeling lucky, Philip told Belle about how he wanted to help civilians hurt by landmines by adopting a minefield. Belle agreed. Philip told Belle how his only thought after stepping on the landmine was how he asked God for one more chance to tell Belle that he loved her. Pulling her to his chest, Philip told Belle how he only wanted to make the world safer for their baby as well as the rest of their kids. The two said I love you, and then finished getting ready.

Across the hall, Mimi waited on the couch for Shawn who was running late after oversleeping. Mimi thought about their movie night and how awkward and funny the evening had been when a remote control mishap caused the TV station to switch to a more amorous movie. She also remembered how Shawn had kissed her cheek and told her she was the best friend. Snapping back to reality when Shawn entered the living room, Mimi assisted Shawn in tying his tie as the two complimented each other.

Out in the hallway of the loft apartment, Mimi and Shawn met up with Philip and Belle and agreed to carpool to the wedding. Noticing Philip's very slight limp when he went to the elevator, a gushing Mimi congratulated him on his progress as a beaming Philip reiterated his desire to dance with his wife.

At the penthouse, an angry Marlena told a dumbfounded John that if he loved her, he would not have thrown her daughter out. Further, Marlena told John that she needed Alex more than anyone and if Alex had to leave, then so did she. On a roll, Marlena demanded that John ask Alex to stay and apologize for his behavior. Grudgingly, John told him he could stay and apologized if he treated Alex badly. Alex accepted the apology and stated that sometimes the families of amnesiacs had a harder time with the situation than the patient did. Barely hiding his distaste, John said he could not get over the change in Marlena since last night, and that he could swear that Alex did something to her while she slept. A quick Alex retorted that it would not have been possible, forcing John to admit to Marlena that he had installed electronic monitoring devices in the house. Marlena was outraged and demanded that either John accept Alex or that she and Alex would move out. A calmed John said there was no need to move and then watched as Alex left with Marlena for the wedding.

In a hotel room, Bart anxiously awaited a phone call. When it rang, he told the person on the other end to make it quick so that they would not let Tony down. Later, a package was left on the doorstep and Bart rushed to get it to the church.

At Kate's apartment, Kate tried to stay positive but was quickly thwarted when Nicole showed up for their weekly meeting of the mutual hate society. The two sniped at each other but agreed they both hated Sami more. Kate lamented the loss of her son, and gave Nicole the stink eye for not helping to stop the wedding when they had a shot to do so. Nicole continued to curse Sami for stepping aside and not helping her get Brady. Since both Nicole and Kate wanted revenge on Sami, the two called a temporary truce to brainstorm how to stop the wedding. When Austin called to tell Kate that he would be late for the ceremony, Kate asked him to reconsider going. However, Austin insisted that he wanted to support Lucas no matter how he felt about Sami. At the mention of Austin's name, Nicole perked up but sensing Nicole's interest, Kate told her to back off. Finally, Nicole offered to tell Kate Sami's secret and after a bit of protesting, Kate gave her the go ahead. When Nicole told Kate that Sami was Stan though, Kate nearly choked on her drink. The two were furious that there was no proof that Sami was Stan, and they decided to get drunk. After a few drinks, there was a knock at the door and when Kate opened it, she noticed something on the floor in the hallway.

On his plane, Austin learned his flight was still too delayed to make the ceremony but figured he might be on time for the reception. But then conditioned that scenario on whether there actually would be a wedding.

In the bridal room at the church, a nervous Sami fretted about the day as Roman told her that Marlena was with John. Sami was livid at the news but a calming Caroline convinced Sami to concentrate on her wedding and forget the rest. While Sami hurried to get ready, she asked Roman to try to get Marlena to agree to walk with her and Roman down the aisle. Roman agreed and left his daughter to prepare while Caroline eased Sami's frayed nerves.

Out in the church hallway, Roman ran into Lexie who asked how Sami was doing. Busting at the seams with pride, Roman told her how proud he was that Sami had turned her life around and that he had Lucas to thank for that. Roman asked how Lexie and Abe were doing, but Lexie said she could not tell from day to day and quickly threw the focus back to Roman by asking whether Kate would be coming to the wedding. Roman quickly informed her that Kate was not invited, but also said only Kate was at fault for that. Later, Roman reiterated to Lucas how proud he was of Sami and how grateful he was to Lucas for changing her life.

While everyone waited for the wedding in the church chapel, Roman went to an arriving Marlena and Alex and asked if she would reconsider walking Sami down the aisle with him. When Marlena looked to Alex for an answer, an annoyed John told her not to keep following his direction but an indignant Marlena said that she only valued Alex's opinion. Looking at Roman with a smile, Marlena agreed to walk down the aisle and the two went off to tell Sami. Now that John was alone with Alex, John told Alex, "I don't know what you did to her last night." Alex joked that it was his super alien powers, but a tense John insisted Alex was controlling her. Raising his voice, Alex told John that since John only seemed to want Marlena to remember her memories of him, then John was more likely the one that wanted to control Marlena. John argued that Alex had a personal agenda, but Alex stated his only agenda was the good of his patient.

Back in the bridal room, Later, Will knocked on the door. When Sami began to open it, she learned Lucas was outside as well and told them both to go away. Matters were not helped when Sami broke a mirror after sending her men away, thus ensuring seven years of bad luck. Before Sami could get hysterical, Caroline told her to believe that she could make her own luck. Sami was skeptical, but when Roman brought Marlena into the room and told her they both would walk Sami down the aisle, Sami began to believe the wedding would actually happen. Belle also entered and when Marlena stated she had the two most beautiful daughters in Salem, Marlena had to clarify that she knew those things, but still did not remember her life. As the group continued to prepare, Belle gave her mother's pearls to an ecstatic Sami, who hugged her sister tightly and apologized for saying horrible things about her.

As the wedding march began in the church, Belle walked down the aisle, followed by Roman and Marlena with a beautiful Sami between them. Roman gave Sami to Lucas at the altar and then held out his hand to Marlena to sit next to him for the ceremony. Marlena hesitated, but sat down next to Alex instead, leaving a very confused Roman to sit down in his pew while Lucas and Sami began to say their "I do's."
