01-17-2017 (Tuesday) THE WEDDING

The girls bring Maxie up the elevator, now dressed in her extravagant wedding gown she picked out for the Crimson ‘must have’ section of the wedding issue; …spenelli makes Nathan put on a blindfold; tradition.  …Maxie is quite taken with the décor.  Mac brings Georgie in; maxie is overwhelmed.  Felicia gets a phone call…panic about Lucy’s flight being diverted ensues; now, they say, there is no one to officiate the wedding.  (But, what about Griffin??)  Robin announces that Spenelli got ordained to marry Jason and Sam; Maxie says she would it if he would officiate her wedding and he agrees to do so.  Anna has a short discussion with Valentine; Griffin arrives and asks Anna what he missed.  Lulu sees Valentine at the wedding and tells Nina he isn’t welcome; Nina says she’s the one who set everything up and he is her husband, so he and Charlotte are her guests… Lulu tells Valentine that she wants to take Charlotte again, saying, “she needs to be with me.”  He tells her that’s never going to happen and she carries on; Nina interrupts and says the wedding is about to start and they need to table the conversation.  Dante comforts Lulu; she says she’s fine.  Anna tells Valentin she is closer than he things to finding out the truth; he tells her not every sinner has to pay for their crime, and she knows that better than anyone.  She looks confused by that statement.  

Curtis tells Jordan that she has to meet him tonight to go meet with Buz; he will only come out at a certain time, to a certain place.  Andre doesn’t like the idea and tells Jordan he wants her to choose not to go meet him; he wants her to spend the night with him.  She looks torn.  He says she shouldn’t risk her career and trust Curtis, blindly.  The wedding music starts; everybody takes their seat.  Maxie walks in on Mac’s arm.  The robe is gone and she is now is a simple lace gown; it’s pretty.  Lulu fixes her train as Maxie and Nathan turn to face each other.  Spenelli gives a nice speech about them choosing each other and deciding to link they past with the mystery that is tomorrow; I like that, might use it someday.  He asks if anyone objects; everyone laughs.  Nathan says, “see I told you we’d make it.”  But then Nathan’s mother rushes in, yelling, “stop.”  Maxie is stunned; she asks Olbrecht why, saying she thought she was okay with them getting married.  She says she is; she’s just pissed because her text notification didn’t give her time to get there before they started and she can’t believe they didn’t notice her missing.  Nathan says he is glad she is there; Maxie says she is too and they show her to her seat; the wedding proceeds.  

Spenelli asks if they would like to exchange vows; Nathan recalls when they first met, saying she opened up his heart again and filled it with light and joy, enthusiasm and love.  She calls him her hero, not like in the movies, but by every definition of the word; she says he saw the best in her when she couldn’t see it in herself.  A long montage of the development of their relationship plays, then his proposal… and they exchange the tradition “I take you” vows, each taking their turn (but it is intermingled, as scenes still play of their failed attempts to get married).  Scene returns to the chapel and Spenelli says, “you may kiss the bride.”  Everyone claps, except Anna.  She has a memory; she looks officially freaked out.  Spenelli announces the couple and that Maxie is keeping her name.  Spenelli asks Robin if she knows where Jason and Sam are; she says no, but they were supposed to be there.  

Olivia rushes into the hospital, saying she got a call that the babysitter had taken Leo there; Julian is talking to Sam and Jason.  He tells them it is time for him to tell them everything….he overhears that Leo is there.  Apparently the babysistter left Leo for a moment in the living room on the floor, next to an open bottle of asprin; they are “pumping his stomach now, just as a precaution.”  (Hospitals usually just give babies a liquid that makes them throw up.) But the babysitter swears she didn’t leave the asprin there… Julian looks like he might know something.  He starts to say something; the doctor comes out and says Leo is going to be alright; they want to keep him overnight.  Oliva and Ned go into see him; Julian stands in the doorway.  

Ned tells him he can have a moment with his son; Julian thanks him for saving his son’s life.  He then tells him to take care of Olivia, adding that she is a wonderful mother.  He turns and leaves; he tells Sam that he has to go take care of something.  Jason questions what truth he wanted to tell them earlier; Julian claims he has forgotten because he is rattled now.  Sam reminds him that it was about the car bomb; he says things have changed since his marriage last year.  He says the organization may be targeting his family and he warns them to be careful; they think there is still something he isn’t telling them.  Olivia thanks Ned for being there for her; he says he will always be there for her, and they kiss.  Jason reminds Sam that she needs to be taking it easy; he tells her he wants to back off of the investigation.  She agrees and says she is counting on him to get to the bottom of all this.
