Out on the beach behind Casa Emily is where Jack and Amily have chosen to be wed. While that choice may be cliché, having Nolan as the minister is pretty inspired -- mostly because he's wearing a cream-colored blazer with henna patterns all over it. He must've got that fabric at my mom's garage sale last summer that was heavy on curtains. No matter. Nolan begins the ceremony and pauses briefly to throw a glance to Ems to verify it's OK that he proceed and refer to Amily as "Amanda Clarke." FLASHBACK: That make-believe wedding Amanda was planning as a little girl? It turned into a full-on pretend wedding down on the beach with her dad and young jack in a big, goofy bowtie. /FLASHBACK Emanda is snapped out of her memory by Nolan asking for the rings. She hands over the ring box to Amily, who opens it to find the pipe cleaner ring stuffed in there with the real ring. Ams is confused, but Jack instantly recognizes it. He tells the story of their childhood wedding and how Little Amanda was adamant about him wearing a bowtie. He pulls out his handkerchief from his suit pocket, which is the bowtie. Seriously? The only way this wedding could be any more knife-twisting for Ems at this point would be if Amily actually pulled a knife from her off-white dress and stabbed Emanda directly through her sternum and into her emaciated heart. Jack: "What I remember... is a feeling I didn't have a word for yet. When I was old enough to recognize it as love, you were gone, but that feeling stayed with me. You were always in my heart." Nolan glances over at Ems to make sure she's keeping it together and to her credit she hasn't gritted her teeth down to shards of enamel. Oddly enough, it's Amily's speech about everyone deserving love that sends Ems over the edge. Tears begin rolling down her cheeks and she has to look away. It may or may not be fortuitous that Aiden appears in her line of sight as she's breaking down. She throws a smile his way. Nolan finishes up the ceremony, allowing Jack to kiss the stripper bride. Emanda seems to be somewhat at peace with this now.Nate's in mid-hissy fit out at the harbor with Conrad, who is being very mum about the whole situation. He'll only say that someone holds leverage over him. When Nate asks what would happen if he could "remove" that leverage, Conrad merely says that's purely hypothetical and they never had this conversation. He gets in his car and leaves the goon to think of goon things to do
