Three days before her wedding, Gabrielle wants to know why Carlos hasn’t responded to her wedding invitation and he tells her he’s not going because it’ll be awkward. She insists that Edie can’t show up alone because everyone will think she has a problem with him seeing Edie. He says he’ll burst out laughing when she swears “Till death do us part”, so she gives up and tells him he can just come to the reception.
Lynette asks her sister Lucy for a loan to pay for her upcoming medical bills she’ll incur in treating the lymphoma, but she is also strapped and can’t help out. She orders her not to tell their mother Stella, but she shows up anyway with her luggage.
Gabrielle and Victor have a fight regarding his intention to run for governor of the state. She tells Victor that she was already married to a man who put his career first and she swore never to do it again, while he has vowed to never again let a “stupid woman” hold him back. He tries to apologize, saying he has been under a lot of pressure and she tells him he now has one less thing to worry about since she’s intending to cancel the wedding. He says it’s too late to cancel but she responds that it’s “just in the nick of time”. The next morning Milton shows up early on her doorstep to apologize. She tells him it’s not his fault and he insists it is, since Victor has always been desperate for his father’s approval, especially since he’s never gotten it. She wonders why she should marry a man who values his father’s opinion more than hers. Milton tells her that after she left, Victor called him up and “tore him a new one” and blamed him for driving her away. Just then Victor arrives with roses and Milton sneaks out the back. He looks on approvingly as Victor and Gabrielle embrace.
