, on "the city":

In the hospital chapel, the nurse tells Tess just a few 
more minutes, and then she has to head up back to her 
room. Tess tells Ally she can't believe she's married. 
Buck tells Danny that he's sorry that they can't have a 
reception line. Danny says maybe they can line up and 
all get flu shots. Buck says maybe things will work out 
for him soon. Tony is looking on. The nurse tells Tess 
they have to go now. Tony comes over and tells Tess he's 
happy. Tony says hi. Ally says hi. Can they talk? Tony
asks. Not tonight, Ally says. Where's Carla? Ally asks, 
she left the hosipital...Tony says she had some last-
minute stuff she had to do.

As the judge says he can kiss the bride, Carla bursts in. 
Don't! Don't marry this woman! She has news about this...
this...barracuda.

Carla says this woman is terrible. Gino asks the judge 
if they can use his chambers. Please, no blood shed, he 
begs, it's a new carpet. Carla tells Gino about the actors
Tracy hired to impersonate her family. He knows. How about 
her family disinheriting her. He knows. Tracy told him 
everything, Gino says. Carla says he wouldn't buy a car
this used. That's ENOUGH! Gino says. This is his *wife*. 
She's good for him, Gino says. They're good for each other, 
Tracy adds. Gino wants Carla to be happy fro them.

Tess is not happy to be back in the hospital bed. Tess and 
Buck talk about being married. Tess asks when he realized
he wanted to marry her. Buck says that he realized he 
wanted to marry her that night that she delivered the baby. 
Tess says how many women can deliver a baby in a bar? She 
blows on her nails. He says when she did that, he said that 
was the woman he wanted to marry.

Danny kicks the vending machine. Ally comes over. Danny 
invites her for coffee. Will he kick the machine again? She 
asks. He was thinking of a little coffee bar up the street. 
No, not tonight. She realizes that she lost her gloves. He 
offers to help her find them. NO! She says. She'll do it 
alone. Ally leaves and Danny goes over to a machine and 
kicks it. Tony is in the chapel, thinking. He sees Ally, in 
a wedding dress standing at the altar. Ally? he says. He 
gets up, and as he approaches the altar, she vanishes. 
Ally (really) appears at the door. Tony? she asks.

Are you alright? Ally asks. Yeah, yeah, he says, returning to
the real world. She came back to get her gloves, Ally says. 
She didn't think that he'd still be here, He wanted to have 
a conversation with the big guy, about Tess. That's nice. 
Then, Tony adds, he started thinking about him and her up 
there, saying the vows. She doesn't want to talk about this. 
Tony says she can't tell him she wasn't thinking about the 
same thing. Ally says she has no feelings for him now. If 
he wants to talk, she says, go home to his *wife*. She is 
out of here.

Gino tells Carla that he knows that since her mother died, 
it's been him and her, but now he has found a wonderful woman, 
who has agreed to be his wife. He cares for her, she loves 
him, Gino saysaYeah, Carla agrees, along with his bank 
account and PIN number. Gino says, CARLA...She makes him 
laugh! Okay. Gino says he wants her to do this for him, okay? 
She nods. Good. Tracy says time to celebrate. Gino says he'll 
take care of the judge, and then he'll take his two ladies 
out to the best restraunt in town. Gino leaves, and Carla says 
she doesn't know how Tracy fooled her father, but Carla will 
get him to see reason. Tracy says he'd be real hurt when he 
finds out about her bombshell, as Tracy touches Carla's stomach. 
Don't touch me again, Carla warns. Tracy says she won't tell 
her father. But, he will find out, and it will not be pleasant, 
how happy will he be with his daughter then? Tracy asks.

Danny gets something out of the machine as a new mother is 
wheeled over with her baby. The father has to leave to fill out 
some insurance forms. Danny talks to the mother, who asks if he 
has any kids of his own. Not yet, Danny says. They're wonderful, 
she says. This is her second, and the way he dribbles, she thinks 
he'll be NBA material. There's nothing like babies, she adds. 
Meanwhile, Buck and Tess are kissing as the murse comes in to 
take a blood sample.

The nurse takes blood. She has something to help Tess sleep. Tess 
doesn't want to take anything she doesn't really need. Visiting 
hours are over, the nurse says. Bucks says good thing he's not a 
visitor. The nurse doesn't laugh. Come on, Buck says, they just 
got married. The nurse says okay, but buzz her if Tess wants the 
sleeping pill. Tess says see how irristible he can be. He doesn't 
have to stay, Tess says. She's not going to get rid of him, Buck
says. They hug.

Go home to his wife? Tony says. He doesn't have a home...she should 
know that it isn't real. Well, Ally says, make it real, stop hanging 
on to the fantasy of them. Ally says she is tired, and he needs to 
let her go. Once and for all. Ally leaves. Danny is finishing up 
with the mother. Danny says the baby definately has the hands for an
NBA star. The father comes back and says he was hoping for NFL. The
mother and father leave. Ally comes over and says he's still there. 
He was waiting for the caffeine to kick in so he could drive home. 
Ally suggests he go to the coffee shop he was talking about. She'll 
tag along. Danny smiles, and they leave together. Tony comes out of 
the chapel.

Carla says that this is *not* Danny's baby. And she's not Tracy 
Quartermaine, Tracy says. Having seen her "family", Carla says, 
she wouldn't be surprised. They argue about the baby and how it might 
kill Gino to find out Tracy doesn't love him. Maybe, having someone 
that makes him feel good, might *extend* his life, Tracy says. Gino 
comes in and Tacy says they came to an agreement. Tracy says that 
Carla is concerned about her fahter, and Tracy assured her that she 
would take care of him. Carla says she's tired and she wants to go 
home and put her feet up. Take care of his grandchild, Gino says. 
Carla leaves. Where are they going for dinner? Tracy says. Well, now 
that Carla can't join them, they don't need dinner. They can get right
to the wedding night. His place, or hers Gino asks. Tracy looks like 
she's gonna panic.
