Eric approaches Victor again and tells Victor he knows that Nicole had to give him something in exchange for his giving her a job and helping her adopt Evan. Victor tells Eric to back off. He has something to handle and Eric needs to get out of his way. Eric asks Victor what he could possibly have to handle at a wedding reception. Nicole is walking by and watching this scene with great interest, hoping Victor stands his ground and doesn't drop so much as a hint about what she is hiding. Victor tells Eric what he does is none of Eric's business and to go mingle with his family and friends. Eric tries to stop Victor from leaving but Victor pulls Eric's arm off him and warns him to back off...or else. Eric backs off as Victor walks away. Eric promises that this isn't over yet as Nicole watches, pleased that Victor revealed nothing.

Kate is congratulating Austin and Carrie. She tells them it's years overdue and that this time it will work out. They both thank her. Austin goes to get them more champaigne. While alone, Kate tells Carrie she made the right choice. Once the MCF is exposed, Nicole will be too and she can get Evan back. At least, now, her and Austin are married and they can all be a family again someday. Carrie says it's still hard, seeing Nicole walk around with Evan breaks her heart everytime sher looks at them. Kate tells Carrie not to worry. It will end sooner or later and then Nicole will lose everything and all will be right with the world.

Belle is feeding Claire some crackers when Philip comes up. Belle can see he is drunk and tells Philip not to come near Claire. Philip stutters while saying she is his daughter and he wants to spend time with her too at her uncle Austin's wedding. Belle tells him to back off or she will scream and her dad and the rest of her family and friends will come to her defense. Philip laughs and tells Belle whatever. He will have Claire and everything he wants soon. He then walks away as Belle wonders what he blabbering about. Philip looks at his cell phone and sees there are no new calls. He wonders when the MCF will call him about the deal they had. He needs to get his dad out of the picture soon so he can get Belle and Claire back and acquire the power he so deserves. His time is now and he is not going to wait any longer.

Sami comes over to Carrie and tells her it's time for the bouquet toss. Carrie gets up and tells all the single girls to line up. Maggie and Caroline don't get up but some convincing and forcing by Sami, Belle, and Hope gets them up. Billie and Greta try to monitor the happenings but Sami sees them and forces them to participate. Nicole puts Evan in his stroller and wheels him near the dance floor and tries to participate herself. Eric sees her and reminds her she is married. Nicole laughs and tells Eric he knows they are through so why deny it? Eric shakes his head and walks away. Carrie asks all the women if they are ready. They all scream they are as Carrie tosses it...to SAMI!! The crowd claps, except for Nicole who walks away mumbling under her breath it was fixed. Carrie hugs Sami and says she was aiming for her. Sami smiles and says she hopes it is a good omen. Carrie says it is and that she and Lucas will get it right this time too, just like her and Austin.

Lucas announces it's time for the tossing of the garter. Austin comes over to get Carrie and sits her down. Shane, Victor, Max, Jack, and Frankie don't want to participate but Sami and Lucas push them to go out there and they oblige, knowing full well they won't give up unless they do. A drunk Philip even makes his way on to the floot. Austin then pulls the garter off with his teeth as sexy music plays and tosses the garter behind his back. It is caught by...LUCAS!!! Austin embraces him, saying it must be meant to be. Lucas looks at Sami and agrees. Carrie hugs him, saying she is so happy for them as a drunk Philip yells out that the game was fixed. The crowd laughs as Belle yells out to Philip to go home. Philip goes back to the bar as Victor shakes his head in disgust upon seeing that sight.

The wedding cake is then wheeled out as the crowd gather around to see Carrie and Austin cut the cake. They each take a small piece and smile. Carrie begs Austin not to get any on the dress. He tells her not to get any on the suit. They both laugh and feed each other. A little drops on to Austin's shirt, who them makes sure a little drops on Carrie's dress. She's appalled and tells him he will have to pay for that. He asks her what she is going to do. She kisses him and tells him he will find out later. They then kiss passionately as they begin to dance.

Doug thinks it's time for them to head home as it's been a long day. He goes to bring the car around while Julie and Maggie help Alice. Julie whispers to Maggie she is doing good. Maggie says she hates lying like this. Julie reminds her it's for the best.

Carrie sees Evan with Nicole while she isa dancing with Austin. She longs to hold him in her arms and for the three of them to be a family, even if he really isn't Austin's baby. Austin can hear her crying and he asks if she is ok. Carrie says she is crying because of the wedding and her being so happy. It's so perfect. Austin is glad she is happy but wonders if she is crying because of another reason. Carrie admits thinking about her baby and what she has been going through but she hasn't been thinking of that during the reception much. Austin is happy to hear that and then says that he almost forgot but he did want to ask her something. He asks her why she hesistated and waited so long before walking down the aisle at St. Luke's. He thought she was just thinking of all the horrible things that happened but she seemed frozen, almost like she had done something wrong and felt bad or something. He adds how she seemed to be thinking alot and he couldn't help but think it seemed like she felt guilty about something.

Austin: Anyway, is something wrong? Is there something you want to tell me? I mean, it just seemed like there was something when you were on your father's arm about to walk down to me. It's not like you to keep something from me or to go into a marriage with a secret but, if there is something, please tell me.

Carrie is silent.

Billie follows a disguised James and Alan around the restaurant. She overhears them talking about why the boss would have them go to the reception when it's a big risk of them getting caught. It's just confusing. James tells Alan they should know soon enough but something seemed weird with the phone call and with what they are being told to do.

Meanwhile, Shane gets a phone call from Nico, telling Shane to spread the word. THE MCF IS THERE!! Shane asks where. Nico says that the MCF is on the second floor of the Titan building. He or she appears to be biding there time or waiting for something. Shane thanks Nico and says he will spread the word. Shane then radios to Max, Victor, Greta, Frankie, Jack, and Billie and tells them the target is there and it's gametime. They need to move in cautiously. Billie thinks Shane should lead Max and Victor in through the elevator and she, Jack, Frankie, and Greta will enter through the stairs so they can trap the MCF. Shane thinks that is a good idea and says they need to move now. Billie agrees and radios the instructions to everyone, telling them to make their move now.

Billie: This is it. It could be our only chance. Let's make the most of it. It's make it or break it time!

The screen then divides into a split-screen of Max, Victor, Frankie, Greta, Shane, Jack, and Billie all heading for the elevator and staircase as the MCF appears in the middle of the screen as the scene then fades to black.

ON THE NEXT SALEM LIVES...
