Plot[]
Nate has agreed to do breakfast with Mel but Joey is pretty livid about the whole situation. Mel feels guilty and changes the bedding, which is her way of dealing with stress.
In the morning, Mel meets with Nate and profusely apologizes for getting involved. Nate though points out that Mel opened his eyes and has his doubts over whether Joey actually wanted to get married or was just going along with this because it’s what he wanted. After a brief chat, Mel meets Joey who admits that he’s spoken to Nate and they’ve both agreed to get married after all.
Anyway, Cameron stays with Charlie off in the woods while Doc gets help. They arrive just in time as the guy goes into shock. They hurry out the woods and take him to the hospital.
Back at Hope’s, Denny heads into Doc’s room and finds a number of documents, including Vernon’s income tax report. It’s clear there’s something going on here, especially when he starts snapping pictures of the documents with his phone.
Vernon heads home and confronts Denny about the cabinet, where he admits he wanted something for his headache and used his swiss army knife to get in. As Denny heads out for his hike, Vernon tells him that Trust is hard to build, easy to break. Vernon heads into his room and notices one of the slips of paper left on the bed.
Brie finds out that the person who posted bail is “a female with an expensive suit and she drives an SUV.” It’s registered to someone called Melissa Montgomery as well. This seems to be enough to be enough for Mike to go on, although he’s doubling down on finding Calvin.
Over at the bar, there’s additional drama when the water starts leaking under the sink. As Preacher looks into this, he notices a knife stashed underneath. He doesn’t touch it though and immediately rings Mike, asking for his help. Mike isn’t sure if it’s connected to Jack being shot but he picks it up with a cloth and takes it away all the same, urging Preacher not to tell Jack about this until the results are in.
Denny doesn’t go for his hike but heads to the bank instead with Doc’s bank details, wanting to withdraw a lot of money. Vernon is unaware of this as Nate and Joey’s surprise wedding goes ahead.
After the ceremony, Lizzie approaches Vernon and reveals the Klonopin bottle she’s found. When she sits down, Ricky is there and he admits he messed things up with her and regrets his actions. However, they do agree to write to one another.
Meanwhile, Cameron continues to wrestle with his own feelings, given he clearly has the hots for Mel. Brady figures it out too and tells Brie as much while they’re dancing together. However, Mel is more preoccupied with Jack, who doesn’t show up and isn’t answering his phone.
