Don and Marlena come to Don's apartment after being at Doug's Place. They have some light fun as they try to get to know each other better, Don somewhat surprised at his attraction to Marlena. She is the only girl, other than Julie, who has really interested him in years. However, Marlena informs him he is coming on much too fast. As she heads for the bathroom, Julie arrives at Don's door. He is surprised and embarrassed to see Julie, knowing that Marlena is in the other room and should be right out. Julie needs a friendly shoulder to lean on. She can't face going to the Justice of the Peace's office. Don is shocked until Julie says that she and Doug and going with Robert and Rebecca, who will be married tonight. Then Julie's eyes light on Marlena's shoes, and Julie apologizes for interrupting Don's evening. After Julie leaves, Marlena very definitely tells Don she doesn't intend to be used to make Julie jealous by his pretending she and Don had a thing going.
Doug confronts Kim about her not owning an island, only a cottage. Kim expresses her surprise that Don told Doug because the lawyer loves Julie, with Doug saying not everyone operates the same way she does. Doug wants to know what else she has lied about. He's had it. He's going to Chicago to check whether she did really get a divorce or not. Meanwhile, Robert gives Rebecca a bridal bouquet, both aware that it won't be much of a wedding, but Robert says his love for her will be enough for both of them, he hopes. Julie and Doug arrive with Robert and Rebecca at the Justice of the Peace, and it is a bleak little office. The ceremony is routine and uninspired, but they exchange rings and are married. All four try to pretend things are not as drab as they seem. Later, in the family room at Doug's Place, the wedding party foursome try to pretend that all was wonderful. Finally, Rebecca says she's tired and goes to bed, with Robert saying he'll take a walk until Rebecca is asleep. After he leaves, Julie breaks down, devastated for Robert. Pretty rough way to start a honeymoon, Doug says. The relationship between Robert and Rebecca is something they can do nothing about.
Mike drops by Trish's on the pretext on thinking he left something there, but he is really there because he worries about Jack Clayton coming by, after having seen the man drunk at Doug's Place. As Doug's Place is closing, Stanhope and Jeri are still there talking. Jim says he's going to check Jeri into a room at his hotel. He's worried about Jack and thinks she shouldn't go back to him tonight. She can stay at the hotel until she finds a place of her own. Trish and Mike almost reach a new beginning when Brooke comes in. Mike says her timing is just great and slams out of the place. Brooke is upset that she interrupted, with Trish pretending she's glad she did. She doesn't need the scene of Mike trying to prove himself sexually with her. Brooke reminds her that if Trish doesn't try to help Mike, some other woman will. Later, Linda greets a subdued Mike who tells her he still hasn't found an apartment he can afford. Linda says he can stay at her place another night. Mike admits to Linda that he may have gone by Trish's with the idea of trying to be a man with her. Linda comforts him, telling him he'll find his manhood again when he finds love again. He loves Mickey and she hopes Mike will go visit him with her tomorrow. Jim brings Jeri to her hotel room, but he is a bit nervous. He wonders if she is worried about Jack, but she covers. After he leaves, she dials Trish and tells her if Jack comes around to keep the door locked and not to tell him where she is.
