When the Lakes announce the engagement to the press, the Nord household panics because they can’t call it off. They decide to make Yale and Stacy appear officially together on the engagement day: Wanda will lure Stacy to the hotel early while others ensure Yale arrives and drug Stacy. Wanda calls Stacy; Stacy suspects interference but agrees to play along. Cody, suspicious, vows to spike Wanda’s drink and stage an exposure. Both schemes head for the hotel two hours before the ceremony, leaving the engagement night poised to be exposed or cemented.
