"Tad was putting on a tux in a suite at the Valley Inn. Joe knocked on the door, and Tad let him in. Joe said he thought he'd help Tad get ready for his wedding. Tad said he was about ready. Joe asked if he really wanted to go through with the wedding. Tad said, "This woman is my destiny!" He went on to say that he had loved Erica since he had laid eyes on her, but if Joe didn't approve, he didn't have to be Tad's best man.

Joe said he'd stand by his son no matter what, and added "I just want your happiness." Tad said, "After today, I always will be." Joe left, and Brooke walked out from the back. She asked if Tad was really going to go through with it. Tad said he hoped Brooke would give him her blessings. Brooke said, "Yes, but first..." and grabbed Tad and gave him a passionate kiss.

In another suite, Opal and Myrtle discussed the wedding. Opal said, "I love that woman dearly, but not for my Tad!" Myrtle said, "You just can't reason with love!" Opal said it was liking watching a train wreck. Myrtle held up the veil as Kendall walked in from another room and said that the wedding was off. Erica walked in with wild hair sticking out all over and said she couldn't marry Tad on the worst hair day of her life.

Opal told Erica to sit down and Opal would fix her all up. Kendall stooped next to Erica and said, "Don't worry, Mommy, Opal is a miracle worker." Erica patted Kendall's cheek and said she didn't know what she'd do without Kendall. Erica asked Myrtle to find Tad and tell him what had happened. Myrtle, who had been reciting silly quotes all day, said "Lose the mystery, lose the man!" Erica said she was going to be totally honest with Tad, just like he was with her.

Anna and David walked into the wedding area. Anna said maybe David shouldn't be there, since he'd drugged just about everyone there. David wasn't bothered by that and said he could use a drink. He looked around for a waiter, and Adam showed up in a waiter's uniform and asked if he could take their order. They were shocked, and David said, "But aren't you Adam Chandler?" Adam said he had been. David said, "You're the king of the world, just like me! How could this happen?" Adam said his whole fortune was gone. Anna said she was sorry and then they ordered their drinks.

David gave Adam a huge tip, and Adam gratefully accepted it. Anna pulled David aside and said she couldn't believe he had done that; she said he was just trying to humiliate Adam. David said Adam deserved it. Anna sneered at David and said, "Don't think the same thing couldn't happen to you!" David said he was a surgeon and wasn't in it for the money. Anna said it was for the unlimited power. She said he was so full of himself, there was no room for anyone else, and she stormed off.

Elsewhere in the Inn, Maria ran up to Edmund and cried joyfully, "I remember everything! Our love, our family! I can't believe I'd ever forgotten it!" Edmund looked at her and said, "I'm sorry, what did you say your name was?" Maria told Edmund about their life together and their incredible love. He still had no clue who she was. Brooke showed up and said there was something she had to tell him. They went for a walk, and she told him all about Maria, how she had been lost in a plane crash and presumed dead. She said Edmund's pain was so great that he had blocked it all out.

Edmund said that was impossible, but Brooke said it was true because "I've done research." She went on to say they had all thought Maria was dead until a year before, "just before our wedding." Edmund said, "You married me, knowing my wife was alive?" Brooke said Maria wasn't really his wife anymore because he'd had her declared dead. Brooke cried and said he probably hated her and guessed that he was going back to Maria, Tad was marrying Erica, and there was no one left for her. Edmund smiled and said he was glad she'd told him, but he wasn't going back to Maria. He stated, "She's too weird!"

Upstairs, Tad and Brooke began to get dressed after making love. Tad said he couldn't do that again but that she was "just too damn hot!" Brooke said, "You're right, but this has to end." They started kissing again, but there was a knock on the door. Tad pushed Brooke out the back, straightened his clothes, and opened the door. Simone walked in and grabbed Tad in a kiss, pushing him towards the bed.

In the mailroom Tad sat on huge bags of mail. Jack walked in and told him it was "Fan Fantasy," not "Tad Fantasy" day. Tad said there was a letter about Jack -- that a fan in New Mexico wanted to see Jack in a dress. Jack was disgusted, and he tried to look at other letters. He found one that said Erica should reunite with Kendall and reject Bianca. He said, "Now that I'd like to see!"

Joe franticly called Erica but only got her voicemail. He left her a message saying they had to talk about their child.

In the Valley Inn bar, Bianca sat alone drinking. Jack joined her and asked what she was doing. She told him it was "Mommy's wedding day, and I'm celebrating!" Jack said maybe it would be the day Erica would realize she couldn't hate her own daughter. Bianca said she'd left Erica a little surprise in her room and left. Chris walked in and said he needed Jack's help for surveillance, undercover work. Jack said, "I told Tad I'm not wearing a dress!"

After Simone and Tad made love, she said she was sorry, "I keep having sex with inappropriate men at weddings." Tad said he hadn't known she was such a sexual athlete, and she told him to give her another 15 minutes. However, a knock on the door interrupted them. Tad tried to get her out the back, and Simone argued a bit. Finally she agreed to leave and offered him congratulations on his marriage.

Tad opened the door and found Mia standing there. She hesitantly asked if he knew where Jake was. Tad said Jake was performing emergency surgery, and asked, "Didn't he tell you?" Mia admitted that yes, Jake had told her, it was just the only excuse she could think of. She pushed into the room and began kissing Tad. In the mailroom, Chris joined the guys and said to Tad, "Your brother's fiancée?" Jack said he couldn't believe none of the fans wanted to see any of the other men of Pine Valley with any of the Fusion women. "Who's next?" he asked Tad.

In Tad's room, a very satisfied Mia said she couldn't believe what they had just done and asked Tad not to tell Jake. Tad sarcastically said, "Glad you mentioned that to me, it might have come up in conversation." A knock on the door startled them, and Tad told Mia to go out the back way. She said suspiciously, "You sound like you've done this before!" Horrified, Tad said, "God, no!" and Mia ran out the back as Maria walked in. "Thank God I got here in time!" she said to Tad. She jumped in his arms and began kissing him.

Aidan walked in and grabbed Tad, saying, "Not with my Maureen, or I'll kill you!" Edmund walked in and said she'd been his before she was Aidan's. Tad said to Aidan, "Hey Fish and Chips, relax. It's what the fans want." Aidan left, and the other men began to argue about what the fans really wanted. Jack said if what the fans wanted was for Tad to make love to every woman in Pine Valley, "Let's not let you miss anyone."

In walked Myrtle, puckered up for a kiss. All the guys laughed, and David showed up, angry that he hadn't had any lines in the previous 15 minutes. He left, and the others wondered why the fans hated him. Back in Tad's room, Anna walked in and started undressing for Tad. After they made love, Anna said she couldn't wait to do it again and then said, "Oh, you're getting married. Too bad."

Bianca showed up in Erica's room and was startled at her mother's disheveled appearance. "What happened? Frankenstein would be proud to have you for his bride!" she told her mother. She said, "I see you got my surprise," and Kendall had a revelation. She asked if Erica had used her regular shampoo, and as Erica said yes, Bianca said she had to leave. But Kendall grabbed the shampoo and smelled it, saying it smelled like glue. Kendall turned to Bianca and said, "You did this! How could you?" Bianca said Erica deserved it after the way she's treated her. Kendall pushed Bianca out of the room and Erica ran to a very upset Kendall and comforted her.

After Anna left Tad's room, Kendall showed up. She walked in, and Tad asked if she was there about Erica. She said no, she was there to see Tad. In the mailroom, all the guys were disgusted and asked Tad, "What kind of animal are you?" Chris said he wanted the wedding called off immediately. They all wondered who decided what scenes were going to take place and started going through all of the letters.

Chris quipped, "The inmates are taking over the asylum!" Meanwhile, Tad puckered up for Kendall's kiss but instead of kissing him, she beat him. She said she was there to make sure he kept his pants on until the wedding, and added, "You pervert!" The guys in the mailroom found this intensely amusing and said they'd see what the fans really wanted.

In the bar, Chris joined Jackson, and said that the snow was really falling down, and the city was paralyzed. He said the minister was snowed in, and Jack said that meant there was no one to perform the wedding. Chris said there was one person and looked at Jack slyly. A few minutes later, Chris dragged Jack out in front of the wedding guests, dressed in full minister uniform, including the flowing gown.

Jack wasn't pleased, but Chris thought it was great. In the back row of the guest chairs, Bianca sat alone. Adam Chandler quietly slipped in beside her, but Bianca piped up, "Hey pal, this event isn't for the hired help." Adam said he belonged there, since he'd walked down the aisle with Erica a couple of times himself.

The bridesmaids, Opal and Kendall, walked in as Tad slowly walked out to stand in front of Jackson. Jack asked him what was the matter and Tad replied that he "couldn't feel his thighs." Then Tad looked Jack up and down and said "Nice dress." Jack told him to go to hell. Outside the doors, Erica was ready to walk down the aisle, but Joe grabbed her and said they had to talk about their child. Erica reminded him that he had promised never to mention that, but Joe said if she went through with the wedding then Tad would be his sibling's stepfather. Erica said she loved Tad and her hair looked good, so she was going to marry him.

Joe was astounded and said, "I can't believe you could be so selfish." Erica looked at him like he was nuts and responded, "Where have you been all these years?" Erica ordered him never to mention their child again, and Joe went into the ceremony and joined Tad at the front of the room. Kendall turned to Opal and asked if Erica was okay. Opal said of course she was, "She's Erica Kane." The doors flew open and in walked a radiant Erica. She joined Tad in front of Jackson, who turned to the guests and asked if anyone knew of a reason that Tad and Erica should not be married. They nervously looked around, and Brooke jumped up and ran to Tad, begging him not to get married. Quickly Simone, Mia, Maria, and Anna joined in.

Chris got on his knees in front of Erica and spoke to her in Italian. Jack rushed over and tried to persuade Erica to marry him. Bianca ran up and begged her mommy to love her, and Kendall pushed her away. A huge fight ensued, with everyone involved. Tad whacked Adam and grabbed a tray, trying to hide behind it as he attempted a getaway. Jack caught him, but Tad took off and got out the door. He ran into the bar and shut the doors. At the bar stood Liza. She said she'd been waiting for him, and Tad said it had been a long time. Liza walked over to him seductively and said some things were worth waiting for, then winked at the camera saying, "Right folks?" Then she kissed Tad passionately."
