Now that Lynn has left town, everyone in Elmo assumes that Marin and Jack will get back together. Mai's cousin, Lucy, an ice skating star, comes from China to visit. Mai wants her to stay, so George offers to marry her -- much to Terri's dismay. Meanwhile, Annie and Patrick are having trouble planning their wedding, and once Celia discovers that her boyfriend, Dick, is much younger, she wonders what the consequences will be.

In the first of a two-part story arc, wild wolves descend on Elmo, which leads to a heated fight between Marin and Jack. A series of ill-fated events threaten to ruin Patrick and Annie's wedding, including a beauty blunder that leaves Annie looking less than picture perfect. Meanwhile, Annie's mother, Mary Alice, comes to town to prepare for the wedding and finds that three "moms" is a crowd; Ben's new purchase of a hockey team could lead to possible disaster; and the congregation at Pastor Eric's church questions the nature of his relationship with Sara.
