Maxie lets a sympathetic Felicia know that she's not happy to be in the hospital facing a health crisis with her heart. Felicia reminds her that they've been through all of this before and together they will get through it again. In the waiting area, a tearful Georgie talks to Dillon. She tells him that when she was little she used to wish for a heart transplant so that everyone would fuss over her and shower her with attention. She had no concept of what it all meant except that BJ was Maxie's guardian angel. She questions how an angel's heart could now be failing. Elsewhere, Felicia seeks out Bobbie and unburdens some of her worry. Bobbie offers comfort, reminding Felicia that BJ's heart is a good one and that their girls will not let their mothers down.

While Maxie is alone, Diego pays her a visit. He apologizes to her for putting her in the middle of him and Brook. Maxie senses that Diego is blaming himself for her collapse. She assures him that he had nothing to do with it. She goes on to explain that one of the reasons she doesn't tell people about her heart transplant and went through plastic surgery to get rid of the telltale scare is because she wants to be treated like an ordinary person. Diego feels that is not possible because she's not an ordinary person. A bit later, Georgie and Dillon visit Maxie. They stop short when they see Diego speaking Spanish while Maxie is laughing. Maxie tells them that Diego is showing her his impression of Mac only in Spanish. While Maxie is laughing she suddenly experiences shortness of breath. Before Georgie and Dillon can go for help, Maxie is able to get her breathing back to normal. Diego, clearly worried he might have been the cause, quietly excuses himself and leaves. After Mac and Felicia walk into Maxie's room, Monica enters with test results. Seeing Georgie and Dillon, Monica suggests that they step out while she discusses the tests with Maxie and her parents. In the hallway, Georgie senses that things don't look well for Maxie. Inside, Monica shares grim news. According to Monica, Maxie has Acute Dilatory Atrial Myopathy which because of an untreated strep infection could have caused the dysfunction of the valve. In other words, Maxie's heart is failing. With medication they are lessening the heart's workload but she is still at a high risk for a heart attack. Monica recommends Maxie being put on a donor-transplant list. Maxie strongly objects. She tells them that she would rather die with BJ's heart than live with someone else's.

Reese lets Sonny know that she does not regret anything that has happened between them and goes on to explain why she keeps coming back to him. In part because of his loyalty and conviction. Sonny reciprocates, admitting that her intelligence, the way she stands up to him and her beautiful smile are some of the reasons that he's drawn to her. They share a tender kiss but are interrupted by Michael when he runs down the stairs and yells "Stop it!." Sonny and Reese are both shocked.

She doesn't bother exchanging pleasantries before she tells Sam the story of how she met Jason in Jakes and ended up in bed with him that very same night. Sam tries to ignore her but Carly is persistent. She offers Sam $5,000,000.00 to leave town. Sam walks away and sits at a nearby table. Carly follows her and starts talking about Robin and how in the end she went to Paris and Jason didn't follow her. Getting little reaction from Sam, Carly switches tactics and threatens to run her "skanky butt out of town." Sam finally reacts. She punches Carly in the face, knocking her backwards in her chair.

Sonny tracks Carly down to her apartment. When he tries to talk to her about her recent behavior Carly admits that she tried to pay Sam off with $5,000,000.00 if she would leave town. Sonny tells Carly that it isn't about Sam. It's about Reese. Carly doesn't want to get rid of Jason's girlfriend, she wants to get rid of Sonny's girlfriend. Carly is momentarily speechless to hear Sonny refer to Reese as his girlfriend. She quickly recovers. She denies that she wants Sonny but when he kisses her it's clear she isn't immune to him.

Reese returns to Sonny's to find Mike sitting on the sofa. He tells her that he's there to watch Michael while Sonny is over at Carly's. The impression that he gives her is that it's more than a platonic visit.

She tells Jax that she will help organize the rest of the wedding and that she will be the maid of honor. Jax lets her help out and tells her he is going to go up and see his bride. Carly lets him go at first knowing Jason is up there with her but has a change of heart and runs over to stop him from going up to see Courtney. Jax asks her what she is up to now.

Carly leaves the hotel to head to the park later. Jane shows up at the bar and finds Jax there still. She tells him that she came over to stop the wedding.

Reese is there waiting for him. He asks her to be his date at Courtney and Jax's wedding. She is uncomfortable about going there with him to a public event considering what each of them does for a living and she also thinks he is taking her to some how get back at Carly. Sonny tells her that no everything they do revolves around Carly and that he wants his family to get use to the idea that they are seeing each other. Reese doesn't buy that. Sonny admits that he also wants her to go because he wants her to be there in case he has the urge to slug the groom. Reese thinks that is funny and agrees to go with him. Mike shows up with a box at Courtney's hotel room. Courtney puts on her wedding gown in the other room. Mike surprises her by opening the box and presenting her with a bouquet.

Sonny cautions her to calm down, reminding Carly that she had promised Courtney that she would not ruin her wedding day. Privately, Sonny tells Carly that he did not bring Reese to hurt her but Carly is unconvinced.

Jane Jacks delivers Courtney devastating news. She was Courtney in Jason's arms and told her son about it. She predicts that not only will Jax not marry Courtney now but that he is most probably on his plane headed out of town. Courtney is upset and accuses Mrs. Jacks of never supporting Jax's decision to marry her. Jane admits she isn't happy with Courtney as a choice of brides. She feels that Courtney still has feelings for her ex-husband Jason and that eventually Courtney will hurt Jax the way that Brenda did. Courtney disagrees and goes to the park. Her worst fears are confirmed when she learns that Jax is nowhere to be seen. When she tells Carly what happened, Carly sees it as a sign that the wedding should be called off. Courtney refuses to consider it. Vowing to find Jax and convince him to marry her, Courtney starts to leave but stops short when she sees Jax arrive at the other end of the park. She is thrilled beyond measure. She turns to a rather surprised Carly and tells her "That's the way love works. You show up for the one you love." Carly smiles when she sees Jason standing nearby.

Earlier, Jax was at Metro Court, determined to not go through with the wedding. He was convinced that Courtney was not over Jason. Jason, upon learning of Jax's decision, tells Jax that he was only in Courtney's room to discuss Michael and for no other reason. He is finally able to convince Jax to go through with the wedding when he sees Jax's wedding vows and reads them. After he asks Jax if what he said in his vows was true, Jax realizes that he can't walk away from Courtney. He leaves for the park, asking Jason to keep their talk between themselves.
