Emma, Lily and Faith are getting the farm ready for Ameera's and Noah's wedding. Lily is upset on Luke's behalf but Emma says things will work out. Holden comes in with the eggs and tries to steal a few goodies. On the porch, Luke asks Noah how the vow-writing is going. Noah says he can't think of anything to say that won't hurt Luke. Luke reassures Noah that he is okay with the wedding. They are about to kiss when Aaron walks in. Back in the kitchen, Holden is still trying to steal a few goodies but Emma stops him every time. Lily and Faith go upstairs to check on Ameera. Emma asks if things are better with Lily and he says yes. The boys return inside as Lily returns and says, "Ameera is gone!" She returns a second later and says she went for a walk. She asks if they can get married in a non-religious ceremony at the farm instead of the church. Emma changes plans immediately. Noah asks Luke to be the best man and he accepts. Natalie and Emma return to the stove for more goodies. Lily takes Ameera upstairs to lend her a dress. Once they are finished with a few decorations, Luke decides to help Noah write his vows. In the kitchen Aaron tells Holden that he is going to go back to Seattle for a while to be with his mother. Holden doesn't want him to go but understands. Aaron pulls Luke aside and tells him not to be blinded by Noah's marriage. As they talk Faith comes downstairs in her wedding outfit. Faith, Emma and Holden return next and then Ameera makes her debut in one of Lily's dresses. Outside, the ceremony gets underway. Noah and Ameera both say "I do" and exchange rings. Noah has doubts that they are doing the right thing but goes ahead with it. Holden and Lily hold hands during the ceremony. Noah kisses Ameera on the cheek and the family claps for them. The family goes inside for a wedding dinner. Luke toasts to Noah and Ameera. Emma blesses the food and they all dig in. After dinner Ameera goes upstairs to sleep; Faith and Natalie follow and so does Emma. Luke and Noah inspect the marriage license. "I hope one day we'll have one of those with out names on it," Luke says. Noah agrees. On the porch, Holden asks Lily if she would like to renew their wedding vows.
Ameera is in a room alone when one of the security team members leads Noah and Luke inside. She swears that she hasn't done anything wrong. Lily and Holden say they will help her clear things up. Agent Frye walks in; Holden and Lily ask why Ameera is being held by the agency and the agent says her student visa inadvertently connected her with terrorists. He says they just finished more checking, though, and it is clear that she isn't a terrorist or connected to terrorists. Still, he won't release her yet because her visa has already expired. He says Ameera will have to return to Iraq, apply for another visa and wait for approval. Noah is very upset at that. Ameera says she has no blood relatives who can sponsor her; the agent says only a brother, sister, parent or spouse can sponsor her reapplication. He lets them take Ameera home to pack. Lily and Holden promise to help her however they can. Noah takes Luke outside and says he has to help Ameera - and he is going to marry her to help her stay in the country! Noah says it would be a marriage in name only. Luke is crushed and says he thinks Noah wants to return to the closet! Luke storms off but Noah follows. He pleads with Luke to understand that he can't let her die in Iraq. "I love you more than you will ever know," Noah says. Luke hugs him and says they'll work the rest out. Inside, Holden and Lily are contemplating what they should do to protect Luke. Holden says they have to let the boys and Ameera make their own decisions and hope for the best. The boys come in and tell them their plans; Luke asks if they can remain at the farm. They agree to support the kids. Ameera comes in and Noah tells her his plans. She doesn't want to do it at first but after talking to Lily, Holden and Luke, she decides to go through with it.
The Snyder's and Ameera are cleaning up after dinner. She talks about her first day in class; Noah suggests that Ameera come along to the mixer. Luke isn't thrilled but agrees to the plan. Holden returns as the kids leave and says not to drink and drive. Ameera is uneasy about alcohol being included in the night but goes along anyway. When they are alone Holden kisses Lily. Parker interrupts and says he is really worried about Carly. Lily and Holden reassure him and when they are alone worry about what Jack and Carly have gotten themselves into. Holden goes upstairs to take a shower. Lily joins him and they make love! After, they are talking about the future when an agent from Homeland Security calls looking for Ameera. Holden tries to call Luke but he doesn't answer.
Ameera, Luke and Noah are among the first to arrive at Yo's. Ameera is uncomfortable but stays with them. Noah asks her to dance with them but she doesn't want to. As they are dancing, Ameera runs away from their table! Luke and Noah follow her outside and ask her to come back inside with them. She wants to be alone and walks back inside alone. Luke tells Noah that they can't push Ameera into the college scene. Matt, Casey and Alison arrive. Casey doesn't like the party scene, either, and separates himself from Matt and Allie. Matt asks why Alison brought Casey along. She says group dates are always a safe thing for a beginning relationship. Casey returns from a back room and sees Ameera. When Alison asks about Matt's jail time he changes the subject and goes over to Casey, who is watching Ameera very closely. Matt approaches Ameera and asks her to dance with Casey. Noah watches and becomes worried about Ameera; Luke tells him to leave Ameera alone. Matt sits with Ameera and makes her laugh. Alison, meanwhile, tells Casey to go talk to Ameera himself. Matt comes over and introduces Ameera to them. She agrees to dance with Casey. Ameera isn't a good dancer but she tries. Noah is very worried about Casey and Ameera but Luke tells him Casey is a nice guy. They go outside for a few minutes. Ameera becomes more comfortable with American dance and begins to enjoy herself. After the dance, Ameera and Casey sit down to talk. Seeing that Casey is occupied, Matt and Alison decide to dance. Outside, two Homeland Security agents approach Luke and Noah and ask questions about Ameera! They boys try to find out more but the agents won't give them any answers. Luke tells them Ameera is inside, angering Noah. As Ameera and Casey are talking the federal agents grab her and take her away! Casey slugs one of the officers and he is arrested. Noah and Luke, seeing that the agents are preoccupied, grab Ameera and run. The agents take Casey away. Alison grabs Matt to follow them.
At the hospital, Susan tells Holden and Lily they arrived just in time. When she leaves Lily wonders if Colonel Mayer may have sent Ameera to "meet" Noah so that he could hurt both boys! They go into the hospital room and ask Ameera to come with them. Once she is away from the boys Ameera says the accident and the fight was her fault. She begins to explain about her connection to The Colonel; Lily interrupts, asking if The Colonel hired her to put Luke and Noah in danger! She insists The Colonel didn't send her or the thugs but Lily and Holden don't completely believe her. They apologize, though. Susan returns with the boys' release papers and takes Holden with her. Lily apologizes to Ameera, too. Ameera says she understands and they return to the boys.
Lily and Holden return to the farm with the boys. Faith is there and asks about the bumps and bruises. They tell her about the men who attacked Luke, Noah and Ameera. The kids all go upstairs. Lily and Holden go outside and she asks him about Bonnie. Holden reminds her that nothing happened between him and Bonnie; Lily believes him but says maybe something should! She says she loves him but has a few hang-ups and he shouldn't be left to wait for her to get over her issues! Holden says he'll wait as long as he has to. As they talk, Carly arrives to see Parker. Holden goes inside to get the kiddo. Carly asks Lily what is going on. Holden returns, saying Parker will be down in a few minutes. When they are alone again Lily tells Carly that she can't forget about her relationship with Dusty and that she can't bring herself to sleep with Holden because of it. Carly tells Lily to lighten up on herself and trust in Holden. Parker comes out and asks what happened this time. Kit is watching them from the trees! Carly tells Parker about Katie's accident as Lily returns inside. Parker is staring across the yard when he realizes someone might be out there. Carly sends him inside and goes to check things out herself! Jack arrives and scares her. He says he was checking the perimeter and didn't find anything. Parker comes outside and Jack gives him the school book. When Parker is gone, Carly suggests that Jack return to Katie but Jack insists that Katie is better off without him. They return to Carly's. Margo arrives a while later and says she is placing Carly's home under surveillance for her own safety. Jack is angry and tells Margo to pull the cops off but she won't do it. She leaves.
Back in the kitchen, Ameera tells the boys that her visa is up soon and she has to accept the fact that she must return to Iraq. Faith returns and tells them that she could apply for a study visa; Holden comes in and says the Snyder family might be able to help with the student visa and with tuition costs. Ameera is stunned. Lily comes inside. She agrees to help with the tuition as much as possible. Ameera can't believe it. The boys and Faith take her for a hayride. When they are alone Lily asks Holden if she is enough for him. "If you need more time, I can deal with it," he says and hugs her.
Luke is the first to wake up in the truck. He watches Ameera sleep with her head on Noah's shoulder. In his sleep, Noah leans and rests against Luke, waking Ameera. Finally Noah wakes up, too. A car comes by and the boys flag it down. The car stops for a second but then drives off again. The car slows and begins to back up but when Noah and Luke are nearly there it takes off again. Noah yells at them and the car turns around, nearly hitting him! Two guys get out of the car and several beer cans fall out, too. The guys pick a fight once they see Ameera in her Iraqi outfit.

Ameera confronts the guys and they try to take her against her will! Luke tries to stop them.
Holden and Lily are enjoying a quiet morning at the farm. Lily notes how quiet it is just as Holden finds a note from Luke that the kids went to Statesville the day before. They begin searching and realize the kids never came home the night before. Holden calls the prison and learns that the boys didn't show up for their appointment at the prison. Lily tries their phones but neither picks up. Holden tries Dallas but he hasn't heard of any accidents on the roads. Holden and Lily get in their car and begin to search the roads. They see Luke fighting off the two tough guys and Holden runs to help him. Luke manages to get Ameera out of the car and Noah holds her. Holden and Lily get the kids to the hospital. Susan checks out Noah and reports back that he will be fine. Luke goes inside to be with Noah. Holden tells Lily he has to go to the police station to give his statement. Ameera asks Lily if the tough guys will be punished. Lily says they will be. Inside, Noah tells Luke he can't remember much about the fight. Luke tells him he doesn't need to remember. Ameera comes inside and calls Noah her brother! She explains that even though they aren't related by blood she feels a family connection to him because of Win. Noah takes her hand and says no explanations are necessary. She is stunned at how Luke and Noah defended her. Noah says he wants to go home.
Noah and Luke are talking about Ameera in the kitchen, wondering how they can help the girl. Luke says he'll talk to Lucinda's lawyers to see about lengthening her visa. Then he asks why the girl is so important to Noah. Noah says helping Ameera is a way to finish the one good thing that The Colonel ever did. Luke admires his heart but reminds Noah that helping Ameera isn't going to change The Colonel's mind. Ameera listens. She tells Noah that he shouldn't feel obligated to help her but he insists that he wants to do it. The Statesville warden calls with a message from The Colonel. He asks Noah to come to the prison; he doesn't want to go but Ameera says she does! Noah tries to explain how much The Colonel has changed since his days in Iraq but she insists that she might be able to remind him of the Win he used to be. She says she'll go alone but Noah and Luke won't let her. They decide to go together. As they drive, Luke and Noah talk about how they knew they were gay. Noah is distracted and doesn't see something in the road. Luke hollers out and Noah swerves to the ditch, breaking the axle on the truck! He and Luke check their cell phones but there is no signal. Luke checks the map but there is nothing nearby. Ameera becomes nervous about spending the night alone in a truck with both of the guys; they assure her that she has nothing to worry about and all three climb back inside to stay warm.
