Nick yelled at his mother for going off on Katie, but Jackie's fury couldn't be contained. "It was seduction, pure and simple!" she said of their Catalina romp. At Jackie M, Clarke looked over Bridget's designs and offered his insight. He contended she had talent but "Lady M" had brought her on for the other reasons, too. Bridget assured Clarke she loved designing and this wasn't about Nick. Nick defended Katie yet again and Jackie stormed out. Alone, Nick assured Katie he's "completely committed" to her. Jackie, meanwhile, came to work and asked Bridget if she wanted Nick back. Yup, she definitely wanted the duo back together and Katie out of the picture. Elsewhere, Nick was assuring Katie "You're not the villain in this," and said Jackie didn't have to come to their wedding. In fact, they could get married today at the house! "We're having our fairy tale, no matter what anyone else thinks," promised Nick. At the office, Jackie got a call about the plans being changed and was horrified. "Do you want to stop it?" Jackie asked Bridget, begging for her help. "He cannot marry Katie!"

Rick told a shocked Steffy that he'd signed paperwork at the recruiter's office. He was definitely Army-bound. "I can't lose you!" Steffy cried at the prospect of him going to war. "This is going to make me stronger," he insisted. Steffy didn't want him to go. Rick said he had to do this for them, to change people's opinions of him. "It's a done deal," he said, needing to know she'd wait for him. He also asked her to let him prove he loves her. "Let me make love to you; make love to me," he urged, drawing her into his arms.
