Lulu, taking a deep breath, asks Nick if he’d like to go to Barbara’s wedding. Nick, not knowing what she means, says “Yeah, we’re all going.” Lulu, taking another deep breath, says “No, I mean with me. As my date.” Nick is floored for a half-second, but recovers himself and says yes.
Grinning foolishly from ear to ear, he asks “What time should I pick you up?” Lulu says that, since she asked him, she’ll drive, so she’ll pick him up at ten. They agree, and Nick heads off to the broom closet in a state of near-euphoria.
(Spunky said to mention that any time Nick gets happy it's a sign of impending doom.)

As they leave, Jake mentions to Nick that he got an invitation to Barbara’s wedding. Like everyone else, Jake says “I didn’t even know she was seeing anyone.” Nick, clearly to shock Jake, mentions that Barbara is pregnant. Jake is almost speechless. Regaining his composure, he asks Nick if he wants to ride to the wedding together. Nick, wearing a cat-who-ate-the-canary-grin, simply says “I can’t.”

Hospital
Mrs. Howard is explaining her stance on Lily’s condition to Nick. She is convinced that the doctors will find a cure for Lily’s disease soon, and she doesn’t want to give up. She claims her husband has given up on Lily and just wants to move on. She wants to keep Lily on life support.

No, you only get to be a maid once. It isn't renewable.

LSP
Lulu is in her office. Barbara comes in to ask her for help. She says that Evan was married once before, but he can’t find his divorce decree. This wouldn’t be a problem, but the marriage license has to be obtained at least 48 hours before the wedding, and if they wait until tomorrow, it will be too late for them to get married on Saturday. Lulu says she’ll try to fix things.

LSP, Lulu’s office
Nick comes in, and Lulu mentions that Barbara has asked her to help with the marriage license. But in her research, she’s found out that Evan was married not once, as he said, but twice. Nick says Lulu should tell her, but Lulu can’t decide. Nick makes a copy of the information Lulu has, and says he’ll look into it.

Barbara returns and Lulu, deciding not to tell her, tells her only that the license is arranged. Barbara knows that Lulu has asked Nick, and is almost beside herself with excitement.

F&F
Evan comes to see Burton about the rumors about Clayton Steel. Burton explains that he can’t tell Evan anything about that, but says that he’ll still back Evan, and even gives him a check towards the project.

Just wondering - he had also had two divorces? We aren't talking bigamy are we?

Court room, Judge Damsen presiding
Nick has to make his recommendations regarding Lily Howard. As he starts to explain his decision, the mother interrupts, distraught. Nick recommends that they do everything possible to alleviate Lily’s pain, but that they discontinue life support. Judge Damsen agrees with his recommendation. As the mother falls to pieces, Nick quietly picks up his briefcase and leaves.

Good question Spunky! I thought of that too! But yes, he has had two divorces.

Red’s house
Nick shows up to talk to Evan. He confronts him about what Evan’s ex-wives have told him. Evan becomes angry, and puts Nick in a headlock, all the while throwing Nick’s upbringing in his face.
