At Jimmy's, Cane asked Billy to consider what having a baby would mean to Lily. Billy retorted that Lily could have a baby without using his girlfriend as an incubator, and Cane could go straight to hell. Mac showed Cane out, and told Billy that he'd crossed the line.

Mac said it was her decision, and Billy asked if his feelings mattered. Mac replied that Billy was unforgiving toward Cane. Billy stated that Mac would form a bond with the child, and he didn't want his significant other tied to Cane for the rest of their lives. Mac said she'd been supportive of Billy and Restless Style, and asked him to support what she believed in.

"Baby, that's just a magazine," Billy replied, saying that he could walk away from it. Billy doubted that Mac could walk away if Lily died. Billy said he couldn't sign up for that, and Mac questioned whether two people with such different outlooks could make a life together.

Billy reasoned that Mac and he weren't the same person. Mac said she'd tried being like Billy, but it had made her do things that she'd never do. She'd slept with a married man and hurt Raul. Billy said that they belonged together, but Mac questioned it, because he'd hesitated to sign his divorce papers. Billy thought she was too good-hearted to understand about Cane.

Mac felt that Billy always dubbed her as "too good-hearted," and cited other times they'd been on different pages. They didn't agree about the magazine articles or Colleen's heart. Mac said they were constantly causing each other to compromise their beliefs. Billy said that their love was all that mattered, but Mac wasn't so sure.

Billy admitted that he wasn't perfect, and perhaps a little sleazy, but he refused to give up on them. Billy kissed Mac, and she started crying. She said they'd held onto to the idea of what they could have been for six years, but they weren't the same people anymore. Billy realized that even if he supported Mac in the surrogacy, she'd still walk away.

Later, a lonely Billy poured himself a drink. A Smile Like This played on the jukebox. When Billy failed to change the tune, he started attacking the jukebox.

Cane visited Lily at the hospital, and she said the doctor would release her the next day. Cane told her that things might not work out with Mac because Billy was protesting the surrogacy. Lily was willing to search for another surrogate, but she'd felt that Mac's willingness had been a sign that it'd work out. Cane assured Lily that things would still work out.

Mac entered Lily's hospital room. Mac said not to worry because "Operation Ashby" was still a go. The couple hugged each other, and Mac smiled sullenly.

At the mental hospital, Emily encountered Paul after her visit with Patty. Emily reported that Patty still lived in the past, but she'd need them once she returned to reality.

During Paul's visit with Patty, they flipped through a childhood photo album. Patty wanted to show it to Jack when he "got home." Patty saw a picture, and commented that they'd taken it before Paul had saved her from drowning in the pool. She recalled that he'd saved her at Saint Jude's, too. Patty said that she'd never forget that Paul was always there to save her.

As they shared memories, Patty hugged Paul's neck, hailing him as her hero. He felt as if he'd let her down, and wished he'd handled things differently at Saint Jude's. Patty began singing I Saw a Ship go Sailing. Paul joined in. He smiled sadly as she kissed his cheek.

Jack left Emily a message, saying that he'd overstepped in his defense of Phyllis. He said he'd be open to visiting Patty with Emily's supervision. When Jack ended the call, a frantic Phyllis rushed up, pleading for his help with Daniel. "He's engaged to Amber!" Phyllis shrieked.

Phyllis ticked off a list of Amber's misdeeds, and Jack raised an eyebrow at Phyllis. "We're nothing alike," Phyllis insisted. Jack respected Daniel, and refused to get involved. Jack advised Phyllis to be supportive so that Daniel would turn to her when the marriage failed. Phyllis figured that she had plenty of time before the June wedding to change Daniel's mind.

Later, Emily joined Jack for drinks, reiterating her stance that Jack should stay away from Patty. Emily asked him to shed light on his past with Patty. Jack recalled that he'd been selfish and power hungry then. He'd been an "equal opportunity jerk," treating everyone as pawns to get his way. Emily was surprised he'd be open about it, and wondered what had changed him.

Jack considered that his father's death had affected him greatly, and he'd learned a lot from his last marriage. Jack realized how clueless he'd been back then, and worried that Billy was behaving exactly as Jack had behaved in the past.

Emily commended Jack on recognizing his shortfalls. Jack figured that it was hard to be egotistical when someone like Patty suffered because of him. Emily said that most people wouldn't care. Jack figured that for better or worse, he wasn't most people. Emily toasted to being better. As time wore on, Jack decided they should get together again, next time for a date.

Back at the mental hospital, Paul thumbed through the photo album. Patty zoned out, humming to herself. "If Jack ever tried to leave me for someone else, I'd hurt him again," Patty uttered.

On the rooftop, Amber agreed to marry Daniel that night. They hugged, excitedly thinking of the things they'd need for an impromptu wedding. Katherine arrived, looking to knock some sense into the couple, but wound up agreeing to officiate their wedding ceremony. Daniel said he'd get Katherine certified online, and then he left in search of Kevin and Jana.

At Katherine's suggestion, Amber called Lauren for a dress. Lauren, who'd just dropped Daisy off at Trumbles, said she had the perfect gown. As Lauren left to meet Amber, Daisy asked Lauren to wish Amber the best.

At Crimson Lights, Jana told Daniel that he couldn't marry on Friday the 13th. Kevin checked his watch, saying that it was Saturday the 14th somewhere in the world. Jana had a bad feeling about it. Kevin left Ryder in charge of the café, and the Fishers went home to change.

Gloria entered looking for Kevin. Ryder said Kevin wasn't there, but she could talk to Ryder. "About what?" Gloria suspiciously asked. Ryder shrugged, saying that it was just weird that they hadn't talked, seeing as he was Tom's son. Ryder said that Gloria had been there for Kevin, unlike Ryder's mother. Gloria wondered what kind of man Ryder was if he'd only had Tom Fisher for a parent. Ryder didn't fault her for her skepticism.

Ryder spotted Deacon at a table, and said he had to do a refill. He wiped a table near Deacon, and murmured that Amber and Daniel were marrying that night on the rooftop. Just then, Phyllis entered, and Deacon congratulated her on her son's wedding, happening as they spoke. Phyllis scurried out of the café, and Deacon chuckled to himself.

Gloria sauntered to the counter, interested in talking to Ryder more. He checked his watch, and realized that he had an errand to run. He asked Gloria to watch the café, and bolted out despite her protests. Deacon approached, and Gloria expressed her surprise that he was still hanging around after his scheme had fallen through. Deacon said she'd be surprised at how much the town had to offer him. He left, and Gloria pocketed his generous tip.

Back on the rooftop, Jana helped Amber decorate with old Christmas garland, but wearily reminded everyone that it was Friday the 13th. Daniel arrived with the marriage license and Katherine's certificate. Shortly after, Lauren entered with the dress.

Once the wedding was set, Murphy walked Amber down the carpeted aisle. Katherine began by saying that they were there to honor a couple who'd finally found their senses. Just then, Phyllis barreled onto the rooftop, breathlessly asking if she were too late.

Daniel wondered what had happened to Phyllis giving her blessing. Still huffing, Phyllis said she'd given "June" her blessing. Phyllis stated that she couldn't let them do it. Daniel grimaced, but Amber tried to persuade Phyllis to their side. Amber said that Daniel and she had fallen in love because they'd been best friends first. Amber vowed to always respect Daniel and put him first. Lauren encouraged Phyllis to stay, and Phyllis reluctantly agreed.

Katherine resumed the ceremony to discover that the couple had forgotten the rings. They improvised, and Katherine said that it was a unique wedding for a unique couple. Through the couple's ups and downs, Katherine had always believed they belonged together. Amber wondered what Dr. Drew and Stryker would think of Marina and Herve marrying.

Jana and Phyllis looked worried as the couple exchanged their vows. Amber said that she wanted to share herself with Daniel as he'd shared himself, but all her craziness would go along with it. Daniel said he didn't know how to express love, but he could visualize it. When he saw it, it looked like Amber and him. Katherine pronounced them married, and as the couple kissed, someone spied on them through binoculars. Suddenly, the binoculars smashed to the ground.
