A few months ago
Walter tells Joel about Wilfred. He was 30 minutes older than Wilfred and half an inch taller. They used to be nicknamed "Wally and Wilf" - Walter hated it but Wilfred was amused. He tells Joel that Wilfred took his own life and Walter found him. Joel realises that Wilfred was gay. Walter says that he tried to "keep Wilfred on the right path", just like with Mitchell. Joel tells Walter that he spoke to God: he wonders how faith fits into everything. Toby, Celeste, Lisa and Grace arrive in the hall. Joel says that he did not like church at first, and wondered why people wanted to be there. He realised that it wasn't for the church, it was for the faith in each other. Other wedding guests take their seats. Joel tells Walter that faith needs to make room for love. Walter needs to forgive himself for what happened to Wilfred.
Scott and Mitchell walk down the aisle. Celeste pleads with Mitchell not to ruin their big day. The wedding gets underway. Damon panics Scott by pretending to have forgotten the rings. Scott says his vows. Just as Mitchell is about to read his, Walter arrives at the church and everyone falls silent. They are all (bar Toby) pleased when Walter smiles at Mitchell. Mitchell puts the ring on Scott's finger and says his vows. The celebrant pronounces them husband and husband and everyone applauds as they kiss. The party gets underway. Grace is unimpressed to find Mercedes kissing Sylver on the cheek as they pose for a photograph. Mitchell thanks Walter for "choosing love". He says that it was a nice ceremony, and Walter made it perfect. Walter says that he is still trying to figure everything out. Walter reveals that Toby told him about the wedding, saying that Toby was thinking that he was doing the right thing. Walter hugs Mitchell.
Toby asks Lisa if he thinks that Mitchell deserves the wedding. Lisa says that everyone does - including himself and herself. She says that Toby is not his past self, he is in a room full of good people. Mitchell demands to speak to Toby. Grace and Mercedes bicker, but Mercedes decides to offer a truce. Grace pretends to accept, but insults Mercedes when Mercedes discovers that the bottle she snatched from Grace is non-alcoholic. Lisa leaves to go pack her case for her trip to Ibiza. Grace advises Felix to go for the "less complicated option".
Mitchell furiously confronts Toby and they have an explosive argument. Celeste stops Mitchell from attacking Toby. He calls Toby "an experiment gone wrong", and disowns him. Mitchell leaves to go lie down. Toby takes off the watch and stomps on it. He grabs a fireplace poker and takes the ‘master key' to the hotel room. Diane shows Scott a piñata that Sinead has sent for him. Mitchell climbs under the covers. Damon puts the blindfold on Scott. Toby enters room 13 with the fireplace poker. He takes the fireplace poker and approaches the bed. He repeatedly whacks the person under the covers. Scott smashes open the piñata. Toby is horrified as he has just murdered the person under the covers.Cast
