"Tad has left the courthouse and Jake and Dixie remain. Jake wants to know what David said to her; He cannot believe that there is anything that Dixie could possibly want to hear from David at this point. Dixie does not know what she wants and Jake suggests she go after Tad. Dixie tells him that she can't go after Tad now.
At Wildwind, Anna has just had another memory of Robert. "Robert, that was you wasn't it. I almost saw your face." She's upset and decides to take a walk. She grabs her coat and on the way out runs into Bart. Bart asks her where she is going and she tells him that she saw Robert, that she is remembering things and asks him to go for a walk with her. He reminds her that Wildwind is swarming with wedding guests and she could be spotted.
At the chapel, Ryan and Gillian are married, and the guests jump to their feet and applaud the new couple. Dimitri tells the well wishers that they will be adjourning to the terrace to continue the festivities 'just like in the old country'. He has had the head chef from Vadzel flown in to tempt them all with Hungarian delights. The guests run out of the chapel to the terrace. Gillian hugs Dimitri and thanks him for a most perfect wedding. Alex chimes in and tells Gillian that it would not have been possible had it not been for Laura. She was the one who called Dimitri and Alex and explained that Ryan and Gillian were getting married at Town Hall and were not exactly thrilled about the venue. Gillian hugs Laura. Laura explains that a love like Ryan and Gillian's should be celebrated in a big way. Dimitri grabs Laura and Alex and they run out of the chapel as Dimitri tells them that it's time for the first Hungarian wedding custom. Leo approaches Ryan and Gillian and tells them he is 'taking off'. He kisses Gillian and turns to leave. She takes his arm and tells him that they both want him to stay. Leo turns to Ryan, looking for him to agree with Gillian, but Ryan keeps quiet. Gillian reminds Ryan that he did the same thing at one time that Leo did; he stuck up for his brother, Braden. She tells him that all the bad things between Leo and Ryan will someday be forgotten and then Ryan will feel bad that Leo was not there for the wedding. Ryan agrees and tells Leo that he can stay and that they will discuss Leo's employment and living arrangements at another time. Dimitri, Alex and Laura return to the chapel. Dimitri tells the happy couple that their loved ones would like to present them with their first wedding gift. "A carpet" Dimitri says, as the guests toss flower petals down the aisle. "May it cushion your footsteps for the rest of your married life," he adds. Gillian and Ryan walk arm-in-arm down the aisle to the terrace. Alex hugs Dimitri and tells him how beautiful the wedding was. They look at the carpet of flowers and Alex says that perhaps the carpet of flowers will cushion their future also. Shortly after they leave the chapel, a stranger enters.
Anna and Bart return to the turret. Bart asks her what she thinks she remembers. Anna tells him that it was very clear this time, she saw Robert. She tells him that she can't take it anymore. "I feel stronger and I need to get out there and find him," she says. Bart reminds her that Robert is dead, that he died in the same accident that almost took her life. "But I didn't die," she responds. Bart tells her that Robert wasn't as lucky as her; Robert didn't have Bart to save him. "I'm never going to feel fully alive until I find out what happened to my family," Anna says. She tells Bart that she has to go and he has to help her. "Not today," he says, "there's danger out there."
The guests are filing into the terrace followed by Ryan and Gillian. Greenlee tells Leo that she's going to leave. He tells her that she can stay, she's his guest and that all is well with him and Ryan. "No one can stay mad at me for too long," he says smiling. She doesn't agree and turns to leave. Gillian walks up to them and Greenlee says that she was just leaving. Gillian says that it's okay if she stays. "It just goes to show you how happy I am, I'm even happy to see you Greenlee." Greenlee thanks hers. Dimitri asks everyone to grab a glass of champagne, as he would like to make a toast to the happy couple. He proceeds to talk a bit about Gillian growing up, how she ran away from home on the back of the biggest stallion she could find, or how she was caught dancing naked in the fountain of the casino in Monte Carlo. The guests all laugh. "We wondered if the right man would ever come along for Gillian," he continues, "and eventually there was Ryan. Their loved changed them, they became wiser human beings and although we will always worry about our princess at least we know that with Ryan, she has what truly matters, true love and someone with whom she can share everything that lies ahead. So please raise your glasses because ladies and gentlemen, I give you Mr. and Mrs. Ryan Lavery." The guests cheer.
Back at the courthouse, Jake is telling Dixie that he doesn't understand. "You heard everything that David said, he confessed everything," Jake says. "The man is guilty, you can't believe that we are all still ganging up on him." David's disgrace and humiliation is what the entire town has been waiting for, Dixie says, but she cannot join in on the celebration because everything David did, he did for her sake. Jake is stunned, "he broke up your marriage, he poisoned people, he ruined people's lives." Dixie knows all this. She came to the courthouse to condemn David like everyone else did but she can't. Jakes tells her that David has gotten to her and she agrees. "I don''t see the devil like everyone else, I just see who he could be," she says. Jake tells her that she has to forget about David. She wishes that she had never met David. Jake says that whatever David has been saying to her has been a lie. He's manipulating her just like he has for the past few months. Dixie agrees, but she asks what chance David has if no one is on his side. Jake suggests that instead of worrying about David that she think about Tad, "he loves you, his heart is broken, he is out there shattered right now hoping he's going to get back together with you." Dixie understands, but is she supposed to forget that she has feelings for another man? Jake says that in time she will forget all about David Hayward. "Just like Gillian forgot all about Ryan," she says. "You want me to lie to Tad just like Gillian lied to you."
At the wedding, Laura and Bianca are talking. Laura asks Bianca if she wished Sarah were there and if Sarah liked weddings. Bianca said that they never got to spend a lot of time at festivities like this but she was sure Sarah would have enjoyed this wedding. As Bianca is speaking, Laura is looking longingly at Leo who is chatting with Greenlee. Laura turns to Bianca and says that just because she didn't have them in the past doesn't mean that she won't have good times in the future. Ryan and Gillian are about to share their first dance when Dimitri interrupts. Dimitri tells everyone that they are about to proceed with the next Hungarian wedding custom. "As godfather to the bride, it is my happy duty to auction off all of her dances to the highest bidder," he says. Leo chimes in holding up some cash, "Andrew Jackson says I get the first dance." Dimitri tells everyone to get into the spirit of the auction. "Traditionally, men did not bid with such a mundane thing as money," he says. "Men would offer up services and gifts that the couple would use in their new life." He asks for bids. Edmund's son, Sam steps up and offers to swab the deck of the Fidelity for a month. He gets the first dance with Gillian. Brooke, who is standing beside Edmund comments on how handsome little Sammy is and how that was quite a bid he offered. She turns to Edmund and asks him what his bid will be. "I will bring the finest goat in all of Pennsylvania," Edmunds responds with a fake Hungarian accent. Just then, some of Gillian's relatives walk in with a goat. "Looks like someone beat you to it," Brooke laughs. Ryan steps in and says, "wait a minute, all I have to offer you is my heart" as he takes Gillian's hand. The relative holding the goat, who barely speaks English, thinks that Ryan has offered the goat's heart to Gillian. The other relative laughs and says, "Not the goat's heart. His heart"!! The 'goat holding' relative sighs with relief. Ryan and Gillian then share their first dance together as husband and wife as the guests look on. Brooke walks over to talk to Laura and Laura suggests that she and Edmund get back together. Brooke is surprised by this comment as she chokes on her wine. "You have a lot in common and you like each other," Laura says. Brooke says that they are friends and co-workers and there is nothing between them except friendship and work. Laura says, "okay, bad idea" and changes the subject. Leo is talking with Dimitri and Alex. Alex is surprised that David turned himself in. Leo says that he can't believe David is giving up. Dimitri tells him not to worry, that he's sure David knows exactly what he is doing. Leo walks off. Alex says that there could be trouble now. They have nothing on David now so there is nothing stopping him from telling the world about Anna being alive. Dimitri tells Alex that hopefully David has 'too much on his mind right now to worry about Anna'. Ryan and Gillian end their dance and Gillian asks Ryan if there can be too much happiness. "I almost feel greedy," Gillian says, "we can have everything. I even feel that God would give us children." As she says this, a very envious Greenlee looks on. Ryan announces that he would like to make a toast of his own. "To Gillian, the woman who gives me everything," he says as Greenlee rushes out of the room. Leo follows.
Tad is sitting alone in the park when Dixie walks up and apologizes. Tad understands and says to Dixie, "you're a wonderful person, and I mean it. It's easy to be crazy in love with somebody when you like them as much as I like you. In fact if I had to make a list of people I like the most in this world, you would be right at the top." Dixie asks Tad why he said that and he tells he that when he thinks about all the things he put her through over the years, it's more than he can bear. "I don't deserve you," he adds. He asks her if she realizes how lucky they've been, that they've always found their way back to each other no matter what. Dixie responds by saying that she would like to fix things; that the life that they had together means everything to her. Tad says that he knows her to well, that she would not be able to come back to him without telling him the truth, the truth that she's in love with David. Dixie doesn't know how to respond, she says "the way I love you is nothing like the way" and she pauses. Tad tells her to go ahead and say it and she responds, "that I love David." Tad wants to know exactly when and how it happened, when she fell for David. Was it before she found out about Leslie, was it when David kissed her. Dixie tells Tad that she doesn't know how it happened, but adds that if she had knows what was going to come of it, she would never have let it happen. Tad says, "David was able to crawl into a little corner of your heart, when I thought I had the whole thing. How could it happen? How could you possibly fall for someone like that." Tad asks her to please tell him just one nice thing about 'the guy' that would help him understand. David said she had talent, talent as a healer, that her touch could perform miracles, she says. Tad agrees and says, "Your touch can performs miracles. I've known that for years and I'm sorry I never told you that."
Leo catches up with Greenlee in the chapel and asks her what's wrong. She tells him that she was having a good time until she heard Ryan tell Gillian that she was 'his everything'. "I was consumed with this dreadful tight feeling, right here," she says as she touches her chest. "That's called envy," Leo responds. "No," she says. She is happy for them, she's glad that they can feel that way about each other. She wants to know who would ever say that about her. Will she ever find that kind of connection with another person, that kind of devotion that lasts a lifetime? "Devotion....Lifetime....you don't want that," Leo says. Greenlee says that she does and Leo agrees that he too wants that.
Back at the reception, Dimitri announces that in continuing with Hungarian tradition, they are going to get rid of the bride and groom and continue the party. Edmund appears with a key and Alex tells them that there is a beautiful suite awaiting them upstairs. Ryan steps in and thanks them but he and Gillian have already decided that they want to spend their first night together in their special place, the turret. Alex turns to Edmund and whispers something to him and he runs off. Dimitri, knowing that Anna is in the turret, tries to stall by coming up with another tradition. Alex pours 2 glasses of wine and tells Ryan and Gillian that the tradition is that they must take a sip of wine, trade glasses and then take more very very small sips until the wine is gone. Edmund arrives at the turret and tells Anna and Bart that they must leave, that they can hide away in another part of the house. They run out of the room as the bride, groom and guests head for the turret. Brooke walks up to Laura and tells her that she will catch up with her later, she wants to give Jamie a call.
Back at the park, Dixie tells Tad that she wishes she didn't hurt him this way. She told him the truth, he says and he appreciates that. He tells her that he doesn't think it's possible for him to hold her in his arms knowing that she is in love with someone else. "I want to love you, only you," Dixie says. Tad replies that what they've been through this time is different. "You just told me you love someone else," he says, "now I'm supposed to walk back to my car, go home and go to bed, and go to work tomorrow and sit behind my desk the entire day hearing those words over and over again in my head." Tad walks off and Dixie is left alone on the bench crying.
At the Chapel, Leo tells Greenlee that they screwed up. They could have had what Ryan and Gillian had. "Do you really think so?" Gillian asked. Leo responds, "We were halfway there." He grabs her and they kiss passionately.
Ryan, Gillian and the guests arrive at the turret. The newlyweds hug their guests and thank them all for coming. They head into the turret, which has been completely lit by candles. Ryan takes Gillian's had and leads her to the bed. They kiss.
Brooke ends her phone call with Jamie and is about to walk out of the room when Edmund walks in with Anna. Brooke hides around the corner and overhears Edmund say to Anna, "This will be perfect, nobody will see us and we can hide in my bedroom." Brooke looks shocked and confused. Outside, the footsteps of an unknown and unseen person slowly walk towards the front door."
