It is a day to remember for Lilian, and Pip gives an ultimatum.

Pip confronts Toby about her pregnancy; she reveals she is still keeping the baby Toby says he has nothing to say to her. Hurt, Pip storms off at his lack of interest in her or his child. Later he tries to get through to her and explain his fears. Pip tells him he can't be relied on and doesn't expect anything from him. Toby his hurt at feeling redundant, but ultimately thinks he doesn't want to be involved.

It is the morning of the wedding, Lilian awakes excited. Everything seems too good to be true. The time arrives and Lillian is zipped into her dress, feeling excited she is interrupted by a knock at the door. It's Justin, who privately tells her he cannot go through with the marriage. He explains to her the prenuptial, much like the marriage is unnecessary and would only complicate things, he loves her too much to be defined by contracts and felt it would only be another trap for them. Lilian is at first distraught but after he tells her he still loves her she agrees. They privately say their own vows to each other in their room, and Justin Kisses the 'Nearly bride.'.
