At the hospital, Lucinda asks if Brian meant it when he accepted her proposal. He says yes and calls her a tsunami of a woman. Lily and Holden arrive; Lucinda tells them about her engagement and Lily freaks out. She says they are moving too fast; Lucinda says she is simply not wasting time. Brian leaves to make some arrangements and Lily follows him to the hall. She tells him to put things off and not hurt her mother. Brian says he loves Lucinda and would never hurt her. He leaves. Holden comes out of the room, shocked at Lucinda's announcement. Lily goes back inside and says, "I will not let you marry that man!" She says Brian might be up to something. Lucinda says Brian doesn't want her money; Lily asks her to wait a few days so they can draw up a prenup; Lucinda refuses. "I saw the grim reaper at the foot of my bed," Lucinda says and starts to cry, "I don't want to die alone." She says she wants to be with Brian for however much time she has left. Lily finally understands. She says she's going to buy dancing shoes as a wedding present. Brian returns with a minister and a prenup! Lily and Holden watch as Lucinda signs; Holden witnesses it and the judge says it is a binding document. The judge begins the ceremony. Brian says he didn't realize his career move to Oakdale would make him a better man. Lucinda thanks the universe for bringing Brian into her life. He gives her his Princeton class ring until he can buy a proper wedding ring. They each say, "I do," and kiss. Brian leaves to pick up some things for Lucinda and asks a nurse to call if Lucinda needs anything.
Noah gets Luke back home but no one is there. He gets water and aspirin but Luke refuses everything. He offers to call someone for Luke but he refuses that, too.
