Act I
Nikolas explains some of the discrepancies between what Mary's told him and what he sees to be true in his life. She tells him that hypnosis might help. Nikolas doesn't think so. She gives him a card anyway and tells him to call if he changes his mind.

Lorenzo calls Carly and tells him of Jason and Sam's impending nuptials. She says that of course Sam would try to do this while she was out of town.

Mike asks Courtney why she looks so sad. She tells him the charity thing went better than expected. He surmises that what's wrong is she has no one to share it with.

Sonny instructs Jason and Sam that they're getting married immediately. Sam wants a church wedding.

In a different camera angle than yesterday we see Alexis kissing Ric. She then tells him it meant nothing. He steps in to try again but she says no. He backs away. She tells him that the very fact that he pretended this meant something clues her in to the fact he has an agenda. She tells him to go. She heads inside to ponder. Outside, Ric looks like he's surprised by the outcome of this evening.

Act II
Alexis, having changed into a peach shirt she wore in October and December, answers the door and lets Emily in. She talks about how Helena is going to gain control of the Cassadine estate. Emily says that won't happen since Nikolas didn't really kick the bucket.

In the park, Nikolas excitedly tells Mary he wants to undergo hypnosis to get his memories back of the life they shared. Sadly, she tells him that's not a good idea.

Sam tells the boys that while she can live with not marrying the man of her dreams she does in fact want a church wedding. Jason says he'll call St. Timothy's and ask if they can do it there.

Courtney tells Mike that things between her and Jason are hopeless because Sam's pregnant and Jason would never abandon his child. Mike doesn't think Jason loves Sam.

Act III
Emily tells Alexis about Nikolas' life since the night of the accident. Alexis tells her that they have to tell Helena that Nikolas is alive before she steals the estate. Emily tells Alexis that's just not possible.

Nikolas tells Mary perhaps there are important military secrets that he needs to remember to help people. Mary urges him to reconsider hypnosis -- it's just a bad idea for him to do that.

Sam and Jason head to the church. The priest says he can't perform a ceremony on such short notice. Sam strolls through the church. Fifteen seconds later Jason tells her the wedding's all set.

Michael tells Sonny he wants him to ensure that Jason and Sam get married, despite Carly's protestations to the contrary.

Carly, in an unfortunate, not-quite-sleeved red monstrosity of a blouse tells Courtney that she can't let Sam marry her husband. Courtney says it's not up to her.

Act IV
Courtney tells Carly it's better that Sam's with Jason instead of Sonny -- now Carly & Sonny can work on their relationship. Carly says that doesn't make it right -- what Sam is doing. She says she's clearly talking to the wrong person and heads off to talk to the right person.

Sonny explains to Michael that Sam marrying Jason is a good idea. Michael realizes that if Sonny says it's true, it just must be true.

Sam tells Jason about her dream wedding. Suddenly a courier finds her -- in the church, of all places -- and delivers a wedding dress to her. Sam thanks Jason but he insists he didn't send it.

Mary tells Nikolas that perhaps he'll say something under hypnosis about working for Alcazar, and that the doctor will feel obliged to report it because it's a criminal activity. Nikolas doesn't think this will happen.

Emily tells Alexis that she's not going to push Nikolas because she doesn't want him to rail out and reject her.

Act V
Michael sends for Courtney, so naturally she comes running. She feels compelled to tell him everything is all right and that she's happy for Jason & Sam. Sonny thanks her.

Sam and Jason return home to find Carly waiting for them. Carly tells Jason to wait 'til the kid is born and pay Sam off; she doesn't want the baby anyways. Sam corrects her erroneous assumption immediately.

Mary is still afraid of what will happen if Nikolas does the hypnosis. She has to go back to the hospital. Nikolas calls the lip-glossed one and asks her to set up an appointment for him to remember his past. She happily agrees.

Act VI
Alexis finds a set of keys. She's like, "oh, great, now I gotta deal with this".

Ric heads into "The Cellar". He wants the female bartender to do him a favour.

Alexis calls and this woman answers the phone. She hands the phone to Ric who feigns sleepiness.

Alexis hangs up. After hanging up, she heads out her balcony and throws the keys into the great beyond and looks mighty pleased with herself.

Jason and Sam inform Carly that the wedding's tomorrow. Carly walks out and heads to PH 4. She calls Edward and tells him he has to stop the wedding. He's got it all covered.

Sam tells Jason it's OK -- she doesn't get bothered by Carly. By this time tomorrow night she'll be Mrs. Jason Morgan

Courtney sits in the park on a bench, crying, alone. She has flashbacks of her nightgown-clad October 11th wedding to Jason in grand Paris, complete with Carly in that curtain-dress and Jason saying "I do". The show's plea to elicit my sympathy in this particular situation just failed miserably

Preview
Carly tells Courtney she's not going to allow the wedding to occur. Courtney tells her it's not her call to make

Jason tells Sam when he stands before the priest and professes his commitment to her it won't be a lie for him -- will it be one for her?

Sam, in a wedding dress which, from the chest up looks remarkably similar to the one Carly wore in the June 30, 2002 Taggert-interrupted nuptials to Sonny, tells Sonny it's hard to believe that something that started out so fun was ending in such a serious way for all of them
