Opal tells her that it is not too late to get what only Opal can give her. Mary has no idea what this crazy woman is talking about. Opal would like to assist her in looking her best for the wedding. She can't believe that the woman would attend the wedding looking like that! Opal would like to put a little pouf in her hair or some feathers or somehting to make it a little more interesting.

She runs off to get it. Anna comes to Greenlee and sees that she is worried. Gr! eenlee wants to be told that she is being stupid for worrying. Anna assures her that Vanessa is heavily sedated and there is no way that she can get out to make it to the wedding. Greenlee thinks that she might be faking being doped up but Anna says that doesn't seem to be the case. Anna tells her to focus on the day and her wedding and nothing else. She is only to think beautiful thoughts. Mary comes over with a jewelery box thinking that her daughter would like to wear her jewelery. Greenlee is happy to get these earrings. Ever since she was a little girl, she has wanted to wear the specail earrings that belonged to he mother. Greenlee thinks for a moment that the jewelry is Opal's when she opens the box, but they are really Mary's. Greenlee can't believe this...the pieces are so gaudy. These are not the earrings that she wanted to wear and her mother knows that. Greenlee wanted to wear some other earrings that her mother has, but her mother didn't bring those as she wanted ! to wear them for herself. That is just like her mother to be thinking of herself first, even on Greenlee's special day. She runs off to get the earrings for her daughter after realizing that she js being selfish and petty. Anna comes back to Greenlee to tell her that everything is fine and there is nothing to worry about...Simone is ready now and Opal does her makeup.

Greenlee is still worried about the wedding and Opal overhears and learns that Green! lee has seen Leo that day which is terrible bad luck. Opal goes on and on about seeing the groom before the wedding and she really can't believe that Greenlee has broken this sacred rule.

She wants to make sure that her earrings are covered by insurance befoee she lends them to her daughter as she is very careless. She ends the call and turns to find Greenlee behind her taking in every word. Mary explains that she was only checking on her priceless heirlooms, what if one of her earrings were to fall off, they have to be practical about this. Opal finds a necklace and it is beautiful. Greenlee tells her that the necklace is Anna's. Opal has a strange look on her face. Opal has been known to see things that were not really there, but Greenlee wants to know what Opal has seen.
