She tells Beth that she will make her pay for leaving her home alone. Antonio asks how Sheridan looks. Luis tells him that she looks like a beautiful princess, a dream come true, and angel on earth.
The wedding march begins as everyone stands and turns around. Theresa worries that Trish will not make it on time. Trish arrives just as Gwen and Julian start to make their way down the aisle. She runs in the church and yells, “Wait!” She tells Julian that she has to give Ethan the papers right away. Julian tells her that it can wait and she tells him that it cannot wait. Julian demands the papers and tells her that she will be fired if she does not hand them over. She hands him the papers. Theresa learns from Trish that Julian took the papers and is worried that Gwen will not see them and call off the wedding.
Theresa asks Trish how she could be so stupid to give Julian the papers. Rebecca wonders why Gwen and Julian are stalling. She tells Ivy that she should go see what is going on. Julian has a flask of liquor in hand as he fixes Gwen’s dress. Rebecca walks up to them and tells them to get moving and returns to her seat. Gwen and Julian make their way down the aisle. Theresa says to herself that she has lost Ethan. She has a flashback of her and Ethan and begins to cry and says tells Whitney that she has lost Ethan for good. Julian tells Gwen that he cannot believe that Trish rushed in with those papers. She learns that Trish is Theresa’s assistant and demands to see the papers. Julian tells her that it is absurd to hand over the papers because she is walking down the aisle. She tells him that she does not care because she knows Theresa is up to something. She then grabs the papers out of Julian’s pocket. Whitney tells Theresa to stand up and act like an adult. She pulls Theresa up off the bench and she sees Gwen with the papers and says, “This may work after all.” Gwen reads the papers and is upset with the fact that Ethan accepted the job at Crane Industries without telling her. Julian tells Gwen to move along. Rebecca sees Theresa smiling and tells Ivy that he knows Theresa is trying to break their wedding up. Gwen makes her way to Ethan with an angry look on her face. She looks at Theresa and then Ethan, calling him a lying son of a bitch then hauls off and slaps him. Theresa tells Whitney that her plan is working better than she thought it would.
