Maya started her job at the Chandler mansion. Marissa came by; JR had set up a romantic meal for her. JR gifted Marissa with his sobriety pin. JR was bummed not to be the one to tell Marissa that Reese was giving Bianca full custody of the kids. As she celebrated her victory, Marissa succumbed to the moment and made out with JR. Maya interrupted; Marissa came to her senses and pulled away. Maya apologized profusely to JR. Asher entered.
Jack phoned home to Krystal and said everything was going well. Jack and Erica smooched and Krystal hung up. Tad noticed that Krystal was in a crummy mood. Krystal denied that it had to do with Jack. Tad left to go support Cara. Marissa came by and also picked up on Krystal's sour state. She tried to get Krystal to go to St. Bart's with her but Krystal said no.

Bianca visited with Jack and Erica. Opal saw Caleb and flipped out.
Ricky bad-mouthed Griffin to Kendall and was irritated by Kendall defending Griff. Kendall and Bianca helped Erica get ready for the rehearsal. Opal raced in and got rid of Bianca and Kendall so she could warn Erica about Caleb. Erica assured Opal that she would take care of things. Once Erica was alone, Caleb showed up at Erica's door. He told her that marrying Jack would be a big mistake. He swept her into a passionate kiss. While Opal distracted Jack, Erica told Caleb that he should go. He begged her to take a chance on him.
Ricky began to breathe down Kendall's neck just a little too much for her liking as he took her cell phone away from her as she was poised to call Cara. Kendall asked if he'd heard anything about Griffin; he said no. Griffin got a call and found out that bail had been denied. Ricky ordered the caller to kill Griffin.
In St. Bart's, Bianca saw that she'd missed a call from Marissa and felt the effects of going through a divorce while her mom was getting married. Marissa showed up in St. Bart's and surprised Bianca.
JR got a call that "she" had gone somewhere, so he told the Chandler pilot to fire up the jet.

Marissa decided to go to the pool. An arriving Kendall celebrated with Bianca upon hearing about Reese.

He left and Erica had flashbacks to her relationships with both Caleb and Jack. Opal came to see Erica and Erica vented about Caleb's visit. Erica insisted that she was ready to marry Jack.
Ryan, Greenlee and Emma arrived in St. Bart's. Emma's bad attitude towards Greenlee continued. Jack consoled Greens. Ryan tried to get Emma to open up to him.
Tad met up with Liza to ask for her help with Griffin. Liza refused. Tad accused her of not wanting to help Griff because he's Cara's brother. Liza denied it.
In his jail cell, Griffin was stabbed by Ricky's goon. He collapsed. Cara arrived and screamed for help. As she tended to him, Griff gasped that it was the guard that had done it. Cara phoned Jake, interrupting his romantic time with Amanda. He let it go to voicemail but Cara called again so Amanda told him to go ahead and answer. Cara broke the news that Griffin had been stabbed.
Jack and Ricky talked about the service. Opal arrived and told the group that the bride was on her way. Just as La Kane was about to enter the room, she was chloroformed by a gloved hand (and someone mysterious attached to it). The group became confused as to where Erica could be. Kendall and Bianca went to look for her. Kendall wondered if Erica was having second thoughts; Binks was confident that Erica wanted to marry Jack. Greenlee proposed to the group that Erica might be making a "quick getaway". Kendall told Greens to can it. Jack asked Opal if there was something she needed to tell him.

Jake found out that Griffin had been stabbed and, with Amanda's blessing, went to the hospital, where Jake and Cara tended to Griffin. Jesse warned Cara that Griff would have to go back to jail once he was stabilized. Cara privately asked Jake if they could fudge Griffin's condition to keep him in the hospital. Tad arrived and was updated by Amanda. Griff worried about Kendall, much to Cara's dismay. Amanda told Tad that Cara obviously wants Jake back. Jake told Amanda that he was planning to fudge Griff's diagnosis; she didn't approve.
As everyone reeled from Erica's disappearance, bickering ensued between Kendall and Greenlee. Marissa approached Bianca, who insisted that Erica would be back soon. Ricky picked up on Kendall being distracted by thoughts of Griffin and encouraged her to stop berating herself for telling the cops about the stolen drugs.
Erica pleaded with her captor, who she believed was Caleb, to release her. The disembodied voice of Erica's kidnapper said that he/she was not Caleb and said they did not want to hurt her. Erica ripped off her blindfold and realized she was in a recreation of her bedroom. The captor returned, insisting that he/she wanted Erica to be comfortable.

Jack got to Krystal's and was upset to hear she was home sick. He left her a frantic message. Jack came face-to-face with Caleb. Caleb made it clear that he didn't know where Erica was.
