Bill/Lizzie: This week, Bill finally wakes up and is full of questions. He asks Lizzie about the whereabouts of the kidnappers. She doesn't give him a straight answer and does everything in her power to keep the truth from him.

Will Lizzie catch on to the set up before it's too late?

Dinah/Mallet/Marina/Cyrus and Company: This story involves entirely too many characters to list, so be prepared. Mallet (Rob Bogue)  and Marina decide they want to get married this week.

Before the wedding, Marina ends up in a lip lock with Cyrus (Wooohooo!!). Will Marina be able to go through with the wedding?

In the meantime, Dinah is in Germany volunteering at a hospital and meets an angry, wheelchair-bound soldier. The soldier turns out to be Reva's son Shayne, but Dinah doesn't recognize him. However, Shayne knows who Dinah and is sure to keep his identity a secret. Shayne ends up in a bar fight and Dinah breaks it up. She mentions an upcoming wedding in her hometown to calm him down and this prompts Shayne to make a call to Reva. He tells her he's coming home.

Rumor has it that Shayne interrupts the wedding and all hell breaks loose. Will Mallet and Marina get married?
