At the church, Brad Baker, a Salem Spectator reporter, tells Abe to keep better tabs on his men and Roman asks what this is about. Bo tells him this isn't the time, or place. Brad disagrees and thinks the papers will be interesting and all about corruption in the Salem PD. Caroline asks Victor if he knows what this is about. Kayla asks Steve if he knows what this is about and Roman thinks this is a misunderstanding. Brad has proof. John listens from outside the door and thinks Hope can help them. He reads the anonymous letter, but Roman points out that this is meaningless. Kate thinks she should get Victor out of the church. Abe screams at everyone to stop chattering and invites the man down to the station. Brad claims Paul Hollingsworth is dead and Bo is protecting the murderer. Brad says there is a tape recording, and Bo got rid of it. Chelsea yells that he's lying and asks Bo to say something. Abe wants to know if there was a tape. Bo finally confesses, "Yeah, there was." There is a collective murmur amongst family and friends. "Oh no…" Brad refuses to reveal his sources. He and Abe leave and Bo apologizes to the family for making a bad decision. He apologizes to Hope and Roman tells him he needs answers. Bo tells Roman the tape was destroyed and nobody else is going to pay for his mistake. He says he's covering for nobody and knew what he was doing. "I'll accept the consequences." Roman has to arrest Bo. The family follows them out and John comes out of hiding, and then crosses off something in a notebook. (Perhaps Bo's name?)
Bo and Hope continue on their romantic carriage ride through the park, kissing and grinning at each other, and reminiscing about their past carriage ride in New Orleans. They arrive at the church and Hope's breath is taken away. Bo knew they'd be together forever when she first became his, in New Orleans and he wants to show her how much he loves her. He gets down on one knee and proposes. She accepts and says this means a lot to her. Bo was worried it wouldn't happen because of the whole cover up. Hope decides they won't discuss that today, and they enter the church to cheering family and friends. "We told you, you'd be surprised," yells Maggie, happily. Bo thanks everyone for being there and wishes Shawn, Belle and Claire could come. He reads highlights from a letter they sent, where they send best wishes. Doug and Caroline stand beside Hope and Bo. Doug will officiate. He says he's happy to preside over this happy occasion and remembers that he thought Bo was too much of a rebel to be trusted with his little girl. Steve and Kayla get up and reminisce. Steve says they must be in love, because they keep getting married over, and over, and over! Kayla knows it's special for each and they take a few moments to remember the wedding in New Orleans and we see flashbacks of their vows, then they talk about their second wedding. Ciara asks if she looked like a Princess and Bo tells her, "You bet she did!" They kiss, and remember that they then set sail with Shawn. We are treated to a flashback to Bo and Hope's wedding in the hospital, during the birth of Zach. Steve says that after that wedding, Hope and Bo had a Christmas Eve wedding, with all the trimmings! :)
Back at the church, Doug asks the happy couple to get the rings. Hope hasn't one, she reminds Bo, but when Bo pulls out an identical band to her own, lost one, she is shocked and touched. Lexi comes in, late, and Bo asks Ciara to give Hope Bo's wedding band, as she doesn't have one to give. Kayla notices John, wandering the church. As Bo tells Hope that the band is Shawn's, Caroline cries, happily. Bo explains Caroline gave it to him to wear as a symbol of a new beginning.
"Let this be a symbol of my promises to you and my devotion. I'm honored to call you my husband," says Hope. They kiss.
Bo says it's been way too long since Hope has worn her wedding band. Although this isn't the exact one that was lost at sea, it's an exact replica, made from the same cast. "I coaxed Mr. Andrini out of retirement, so it's just right."
"It's not just right. It's perfect," says Hope, but there is a slight difference. This one has the first date they were wed, inscribed and this date.
Bo says, "I promise to love you and honor you and keep you and comfort you in sickness and health for better for worse as long as we both shall live." Hope moves for a kiss but Doug stops them. Caroline says a prayer and Doug laughs that though they’ve stolen a few kisses already, Bo may kiss his bride. Making out ensues and clapping from the family and friends. Bo thanks everyone for coming and helping arrange things. Everyone starts to head back to the Brady homestead for a New Orleans barbeque, but Brad Baker, a Salem Spectator reporter arrives and wants to know how Bo sleeps at night.
Bo frantically runs around his house, planning Hope's surprise. He has shaved and Chelsea can't get used to his new look! Steve, Kayla, Maggie and Julie arrive and rush Bo to get dressed. Chelsea asks how Kayla's first day back at work was. It was stressful. She tells them Stefano's news. "That man has more lives than a dirty old alley cat," says Julie. Steve and Bo duck into the kitchen and Hope arrives, confused about why everyone's there. Julie helps Hope with her makeup, but doesn't tell her what's going on. Hope decides to relax and get pampered!
In the kitchen, Bo is glad that he could surprise Hope like this. He and Steve discuss the cover up and how they almost stopped the plans. Bo tells Steve that Hope knows about the cover up and was angry. He says someone else knows his secret and is positive it's Ava Vitali. Since Bo's name wasn't on the anonymous email, Steve thinks Bo's still safe. Bo makes a quick call to someone and says Hope will be happy to have something of Pop's. Chelsea interrupts and hopes she has a guy who does this for her someday! They hug. Bo's sure she will. Steve returns later and tells Bo he's doing a good thing. Hope deserves it, says Bo. She stood by him and he's a lucky guy. Steve agrees and calls Bo a good man. He deserves it. Bo asks if Steve knows how to tie a bow tie yet. He comments it's fine. He has an instructional pamphlet! They go out through the back door.
A knock comes to the door and stylist, Gloriann arrives to fix Hope's hair for the night. Hope threatens Chelsea. If she doesn't tell her what's happening, she'll stop allowing her to borrow her Fleur dis Lis drop earrings! Chelsea laughs at Hope, and after Hope's hair is done, Hope guesses that Bo has a fabulous dinner planned. "We'll see," says Julie. The ladies refuse to give her a hint about what's really happening. They chit chat while Hope is dressing. They're amazed at what Bo went through to get this together. Hope comes down the stairs, dressed in a beautiful gown. She overhears the ladies discussing food that she hasn't had since she and Bo were in New Orleans, and flashes back to Bo taking her up the stairs and making love to her. That's where they were married, though it wasn’t legal, she says. "It was definitely romantic."
Hope smiles as memories flood her head. It dawns on her that she's getting married today! The ladies look to each other in shock that she figured it out. She's amazed and Maggie shares that Bo planned this for months and wanted it to be special. Hope starts to cry and Maggie gives her a hanky for something old, Kayla gives her a bracelet, which is something new that she liked in a storefront window and Julie gives her something borrowed - a necklace that was their mother, Addie's. (Julie and Hope are also related as half sisters and Addie was married to Doug for a time.) Chelsea gives Hope a blue garter for something blue. Hope takes flowers from the ladies and they send her and Kayla off and get ready themselves!
Nick watches Melanie's Party Blog at the Java Café when Chelsea shows up, they discuss how things at the Childhood Development Center are going well. Chelsea is curious about the photos Nick's viewing and though Nick won't tell her who she is, he says he's trying to be more social and move on with his life. She judges him. "With and internet party girl?" Lexi and Theo interrupt an Chelsea's excitement is illustrated, when she shares that she's helping Theo today with the Occupational Therapist. Chelsea joins the two for lunch, so Chelsea and Theo can get to know each other. Nick begs off lunch. He's doing research. Theo, Chelsea and Lexi leave and Nick resumes watching the blog. Melanie complains that she can't get a nice guy to date because guys see her as stupid. He grins at the screen and decides to take a trip overseas!
Chelsea, Theo and Lexi arrive at the hospital. Chelsea offers to take Theo to therapy. Lexi is thrilled when Theo gives her a big hug, before they leave. He counts to five as they leave and Tony arrives, out of breath and asks if she has heard. He realizes she hasn't and after they're briefly interrupted by Kate, saying goodbye, Tony tells a shocked Lexi that Stefano had a seizure and was taken out of long term care. He is taken to Salem U and there is a chance he could come out of the coma!
At the hospital, Daniel is reluctant to allow Bo to visit Victor. He allows a brief visit and leaves the room. Bo tells Victor not to worry about Philip. Victor raised a tough kid and Philip got his transfusion after they found his blood type. Victor can get his hands on as much blood for Philip's blood type as he needs but when Bo asks if he can pick it up for him, Victor refuses to tell him where it is! He thanks Bo for covering up evidence, but Bo is still angry about doing it. "Look where it got us," he says. Bo knows Hope is suspicious.
Outside Victor's room, Daniel demands to know what Kate said that almost killed Victor! She starts to tell him and he cuts her off, yelling that he had a right to life! He apologizes for his insensitivity and Kate says she told him Philip was in the hospital. Daniel says she shouldn't have. They need to keep Victor calm. Daniel will be the one to decide what his patient needs to know. "Is that clear?" Chelsea blasts Daniel for disrespecting Kate and demands an apology. Kate doesn’t want it, or anything else from Daniel! She stomps off and Chelsea berates Daniel, who tells her his patients are his priority. Chelsea continues to rant and rave at Daniel and follows Kate.
Daniel interrupts Bo and Victor. Victor needs tests run, so Bo leaves. Daniel's happy to see Bo didn't give him a cardiac arrest. He asks Victor to focus on getting well, but Victor needs to see Philip. "No, I'm sorry Victor. That's not going to happen."
Chelsea goes to visit Victor but he's getting a cat scan. Daniel apologizes for his behavior, earlier. He blames his concern over Victor and admits this happens to him sometimes. The storm has passed! Chelsea calls Kate a forgiving lady. Chelsea agrees that this is a difficult time and both she and Victor are better for having him in their lives. They start kissing and Kate walks in.
