Nina is excited that the wedding is finally happening. She reminisces about the time she spent with Sonny when he assumed the identity of Mike, and their life together thereafter. She also remembers asking Martin to report Carly and Drew to the SEC while keeping her name out of it. Donna interrupts her thoughts by saying that she was too excited to sleep and that's why she's up so early. Nina asks Donna about her opinion on the island where she's going to marry her father. Donna responds that she likes it and then asks Nina if she will be her second mommy once she marries her father. Nina affirms that she will, and Donna expresses her excitement about having two mommies, just like Avery. Nina then tells Donna that she needs her help with two important things. First, she wants her to be her flower girl, to which Donna readily agrees. Second, she needs Donna's help to ensure that Sonny doesn't see her too soon.
In Puerto Rico, Michael is talking to Kristina about how he almost forgot what it feels like to swim in the ocean there. Kristina questions how he could forget since they've been going there since they were kids and it's their second home. Michael admits that it has been a while since he last visited. Kristina tells Sonny that he should have come with them because the water was so warm and refreshing. However, Sonny is more concerned with drinking his morning coffee. Kristina notices that he is writing something and asks what it is. She realizes that he is writing his own vows for the wedding. Michael notices that Sonny is handwriting his vows and Kristina notes that he must really be in love. Sonny admits that he has not finished writing his vows yet. Kristina suggests that he read it to them so that they can give their thoughts, but Sonny declines, saying that they won't hear the vows until Nina does. Kristina wonders what Nina's thoughts are about the island, but Sonny admits that they slept in separate rooms, as Nina didn't want any bad luck before the wedding. Kristina expresses her happiness for her dad and tells him that it was a good idea to choose the island for the wedding. Donna comes in and tells Kristina that it's time to get ready for the wedding, but they cannot allow Sonny to see Nina before it begins.
Willow has another bad dream where Harmony wakes her up and reminds her not to be late for the wedding. Willow asks what Harmony is doing there, to which Harmony replies that she is there to protect her, just like she has always done. Harmony then warns Willow about something very important. Wiley interrupts Willow's dream, informing her that it's time to get ready for the wedding. He wonders if his mother is sick again, but Willow assures him that she just slept late, perhaps because Amelia wasn't there to wake her up. Wiley mentions that baby Amelia cries a lot, and Willow tells him that it's normal for babies to cry. Wiley is relieved that Willow is feeling better and tells her that she tells him that she loves him. At that moment, Michael arrives and reminds them both that it's time to get ready.

Austin visits Cyrus, who thanks him for coming. He cannot express how grateful he is that the judge is considering his plea for a hardship release. If the judge grants it, he will be eligible for an early parole. Austin tells him that it's good news. Cyrus says it's a miracle that the court is taking his age and fragile health into account, but they need a medical expert's opinion to confirm that he does not have the physical capacity to harm anyone. Cyrus thanks Austin for coming to speak on his behalf. Austin notes that he didn't have a choice once he realized what was at stake. Scott arrives, and Austin wonders why he is there. Cyrus tells him it's good to see his legal counsel in person and that his payment must have cleared. Scott says that he is representing Cyrus because he paid top dollar. Considering all the crimes Cyrus has committed in the past, Scott cannot guarantee the outcome of the case. However, Cyrus expects him to make a truly heroic argument in his favor, given the amount of money he has paid.
The judge gives his opening remarks, stating that he believes in rehabilitation, but not every criminal is worthy of a second chance. He points out that Cyrus has a long criminal record that ended with a hostage situation, and whatever decision he makes, he will have to defend it to the public. Scott steps up to argue that he understands the judge's hesitancy, but his client has reformed. He has found God and turned his life around. Furthermore, his health is fragile, so he is no longer a threat to society. Austin notes that if Cyrus remains in Pentonville, he could become debilitated and unable to defend himself.
Ava screams for help, but Mason tells her that no one can hear her. Despite all the noise she is making, no one is coming to help her. Ava calls him a sick SOB and notes how inhumane it is for him to hold her captive in these conditions. He says the boss is upset that she double-crossed them and it was a big mistake. Ava blames him for using someone as obvious as Betty to spy on Sonny. Mason says none of that matters now, she is where she is until he gets further instructions. As Mason walks away, he advises Ava to avoid trouble and watch out for the rats until he returns. Ava decides to use this time to plan her escape. However, her attempt is foiled by Mason, who reminds her that she won't be leaving until the boss permits. Later, Mason receives a call from Austin, who tells him that he has accomplished what he was asked to do, and it's time to release Ava. Mason reminds Austin that they are not the ones calling the shots.
