Plot: At the reading of Sally's will to his dismay, Tom finds out that Tyler will inherit all of his ex-wife's belongings and that Tyler is forbidden to disclose the amount or give any of the estate to Tom. Tom stews while Tyler treats the family to gifts. When his parents, Cookie and Freight Train, announce they're moving back to Ukulele Bottom and plan to remarry, Tyler offers to pay for the wedding. Freight Train hesitantly offers Tom the position of Best Man at Cookie's insistence, but when he finds he has more of a kindred spirit in Paco Fishbowl, Shubie's ex-husband, Freight Train dumps Tom as his best man in favor of Paco.
Cookie decides to give up on Freight Train and head back home. Tom rushes in to confront Freight Train at his apartment and finds the two of them sleeping off a night of drinking. After trying to fight, Tom hits Freight Train with the realization that he is coward, afraid of marrying Cookie. Freight Train takes this to heart and they rush back to the house to stop Cookie from leaving. They find the wedding guests have remained at the house long after the ceremony was supposed to take place, taking advantage of the food and drinks. Just as Cookie is heading for the door, Freight Train confesses his feeling for Cookie and they agree to finish the ceremony. Freight Train offers Tom the position of Best Man again but he turns it down in favor of giving away his mother.
