Ms. Suhl is told the mansion is listed and the buyer arrives in two days, but she also receives wedding arrangements and discovers Wendy said, "I'll be marrying in two days." Wendy staged the wedding to force others out; neighbors mock and issue veiled threats. Workers are ordered to smash the crabapple trellis and replace flowers with lilies, erasing household signs. A rival warns Wendy not to cause trouble; someone offers a conditional reprieve: if Wendy can get along with Lulu, the wedding will be canceled. With the handover looming, the wedding's fate hangs unresolved.
