Well, it looks like all of Oakdale is going to end up in the Caribbean.
Lisa is on a flight to the Caribbean. She is very happy. She starts to talk to the man next to her and he tells her that he is going to the Caribbean to get a divorce and is that what she is going there for. She says that she is going for the opposite reason. She is going to get married.
John and Carly walk into the hotel on the island. They see Julia, Jack and Hal. Carly says, "what a way to start this adventure." John goes to check them into the hotel and Carly walks over to the threesome and says "HI!" Jack and Julia leave and Hal tells Carly that it is not going to work, she should have stayed home. Carly asks if they can just cut their losses and go their separate ways. Hal says that he can't believe that she is going to marry another man that she does not love just to get the money. Hal tells her that he is going to throw the book at John for what he has done. He broke into the OBGYN office and stole equipment to artificially inseminate her. Carly tells Hal yet another lie, she says that John didn't break into the lab. The insemination wasn't artificial, it was done the old fashion way. Hal looks at her and asks her if she closed her eyes and thought of Jack? Hal tells her that she can have her divorce, he just wants to get away from her. Hal walks away and John walks over. She tells him that Hal will be sending the divorce papers to her. When they are in their room, the honeymoon suite, she tells him that she saved his sorry butt by telling Hal a lie. John says that she should let him know when she gets the papers and he will go and book a flight back to Oakdale and they can get out of there as soon as possible. She has a flash of Jack carrying her over the threshold on their wedding night. She says to herself, "some honeymoon". She walks out into the hall and runs into Lisa, who is checking into her room. Carly invites Lisa into her room. She asks Lisa what she is doing on the island. Lisa informs her that she is there looking for John. She tells Carly that she has changed her mind and she is going to marry Johnny Dixon as soon as she can find him. She wants to know if Carly has seen him. Carly lies and says that she has not seen him and maybe Lisa should check the hotel on the other side of the island. Lisa says that she is going to change her clothes and go looking for him. As Lisa is leaving the room, a man comes to the door and delivers an envelope to Carly. After Lisa leaves, Carly takes the paper out and looks at them. She looks at herself in the mirror and asks herself what kind of a person is she? Then she convinces herself that she is doing it all for her baby. She signs the papers and rushes down to the lobby. She finds John and tells him that she received the divorce papers. John says great, let get out of here. Carly says that she wants him to see something. As they are leaving the lobby, Lisa gets out of the elevator. Carly takes John back up to their suite. She tells him that they should just get married before they go back to Oakdale. John agrees that it might be better. He doesn't want to rub anyone's nose in the fact that they are going to be married. John gets a minister to come to the room. They tell him that they want to be married as soon as possible with no frills. He informs them that they need a witness.

BTW, Julia is down there by the coaxing of Emma. She went down there to spend some time with Jack and he was very happy to see her. Anyway, Jack goes over to Hal and they are trying to figure out what Molly is up to. She gets angry with the guy at the shop, because she told him to act like he didn't know her.

As they are leaving, a man, who had been reading the paper, follows them.

She goes back into the room and asks Molly why Jack is looking for her. She tells Molly that Jack said it was police related. There is another knock at the door. Carly goes to answer it and it is Lisa. Carly once again goes into the hall to talk to her. She doesn't want Lisa to see John in the room. Lisa says that she looked in that other hotel and John wasn't there either and the girl at the desk downstairs said that John was staying in the honeymoon suite. Carly tells her that she doesn't know why she said that, she hasn't seen John. Lisa asks her if she is hiding John in the room. The minister steps outside in the hall with Carly and Lisa and tells Carly that he is on a time limit and they need to get the ceremony started. Lisa wants to know what kind of ceremony and the minister tells her a wedding ceremony. Lisa asks him who is getting married. Carly shoves the minister back in the room and says that she will be right there. Lisa demands to go into the room and see who is in there.

She closes the door and starts to shake. She decides to go downstairs and get someone to help her. She stumbles out of the elevator and over to the desk. She is trying to explain about the doll and the man behind the desk can't understand what she is talking about. She faints. At that moment, John steps out of the elevator and thinks that is the emergency that Carly sent him downstairs for. He starts to work on Julia.
Back in the honeymoon suite, Carly gets rid of Lisa and tells Molly that she needs to find John before Lisa does. She calls downstairs, but they tell her that John is taking care of an emergency. Carly tells Molly that she will go down and bring John back up. After she is gone, Brad decides that it is a good time for him to try to get into Jack's hotel room and ditch the money. The minister asks Molly where Brad is going. She tells him that he will be right back. The minister says that he is really in a time crunch, but he wants to see what happens. He says that it reminds him of an American TV show, where everything goes wrong at the wedding.
Carly walks into the lobby and sees John taking care of Julia. She asks him if he has forgotten the obligation he had going on upstairs. He tells her that he has something to take care of first. They help Julia back up to her room. She tells them that the doll was a figment of her imagination and she will be OK. Carly and John leave. Julia closes her eyes and tries to sleep.

Lisa starts to panic and opens the bottle of champagne. Emma calls to check in with a dozing Julia, who apologizes that they won't be back in time for Thanksgiving. Julia stumbles off to look for Jack. John informs Jack that he won't have to falsify her paternity test--chances are pretty good that John is in fact the father.
Under questioning from Georgia, Eddie recalls happier holidays, when he would watch Thanksgiving Day parades with his mother. He knows he can never be that happy again, so what's the point in trying? Carly doesn't deny Jack's assumption that she slept with John and tried to deceive Hal about the paternity. Jack spies Molly and Brad trying to sneak out of the room and puts them under arrest.
A tipsy Lisa alternates between giddiness and then anger, when she finds out that John is staying in the honeymoon suite. She curses Carly's lies and then plots how to escape--"he's a louse, but he's MY louse!" she tells the bellhop. Jack handcuffs Molly and Brad together. John and Carly are irritated at the further delay in their ceremony. Jack follows Molly's wandering eyes and finds the bag with the ransom money. A bewildered Julia walks in on the mess. Jack leads Brad and Molly away while Carly tells John she loathes him. Julia volunteers to be the witness in Molly's stead. A grumpy John and Carly reluctantly hold hands when asked, and Julia has to hold back a giggle. Carly refuses to recite the traditional vows, instead giving her own warped vows. For his part, John vows to sleep with one eye open and never let Carly out of his sight.
Lisa is freed from the elevator and vows to take the stairs for the remaining 5 floors. Molly denies being in contact with David and takes all the blame when Jack lays into his brother. Eddie and Georgia decide to start their own holiday traditions. Molly swears to Jack that Brad didn't know it was the ransom money, and that once he found out, he was going to have them turn it in.
When it comes time for John and Carly to exchange rings, they use the rings still on their fingers from their respective ex-spouses. Julia has to be awakened to give the traditional blessing as witness. John and Carly exchange begrudging pecks on the cheek when they are officially wed. Carly hurls her bouquet and Lisa walks in and catches it.
Eddie wants to study engineering but worries that if he doesn't like it, he'll just have wasted a lot of his own money. Lisa reads Carly the riot act and then walks out on John's explanations. Carly orders John to return to her as he runs after Lisa. Jack tells Molly that it's not up to him to decide guilt. Julia backs up Molly's assertion that she was never contacted by David.
