Overview

One month later, Molly Gray and Juan Manuel marry in a Regency Grand wedding gifted by Mr. Snow. Amid celebrations, updates arrive: Thomas Beagle pled guilty and signed over the Fabergé egg to Baxley Brown, who sold it to a museum. Molly reconciles workplace tensions by inviting Cheryl and sees Angela preparing to join the police academy. During the reception, Brown gifts Molly and Juan a $500,000 check, and Molly experiences a poignant, imagined visitation from her grandmother, Flora.

Summary

On the day of her wedding at the Regency Grand, Molly hid on the terrace in a vintage white gown altered by Sunitha and Sunshine. She reflected on recent upheavals: near-wealth and notoriety from the Fabergé scandal, threats now resolved, and being forced to vacate her apartment by Mr. Rosso. With rental prices too high, Grandad offered Molly and Juan a room at his house after the wedding.

Mr. Snow insisted the hotel host their wedding at no charge, including catering. Before the ceremony, Baxley Brown called to report that Thomas Beagle had pled guilty to all charges, apologized to Molly, and had signed over ownership of the Fabergé egg to Brown, who then sold it to a museum for a lower price to preserve history. Molly invited Brown to the wedding, and he accepted.

From the terrace, Molly watched guests arrive: Brown with his former showrunner Steve, Mr. Snow greeting them, bridesmaids Sunshine, Sunitha, and Lily in matching yellow gowns, and Cheryl—recently put on probation—whom Molly had invited after a candid conversation about being excluded. Since then, Cheryl had improved her work, shared tips fairly, and began integrating with the maids. Speedy arrived as DJ SLAY, rigging a webcam for Juan’s family in Mexico. Angela entered as maid of honor and spoke with Detective Stark, who was in a cocktail dress; Angela had been accepted into the police academy with prerequisites waived.

Grandad arrived with his daughter Charlotte, now a judge who would officiate. Juan appeared in a thrifted white tuxedo. At Mr. Snow’s signal, the ceremony began on the staircase. Charlotte introduced the couple, noting their hotel-born romance. Molly placed Mr. Preston’s (Grandad’s) ring on Juan’s finger with a vow she had practiced, and Juan placed Flora Gray’s ring on Molly’s finger, vowing to cherish her. Molly paused to ask Mr. Snow’s permission to kiss in the lobby; he consented, and they sealed their vows.

At the reception in the tearoom, staff and guests danced while DJ SLAY played. Mr. Snow led a conga line, Cheryl joined Sunitha and Sunshine, and Angela pulled Detective Stark into the line. Juan brought Molly a slice from their Noah’s ark wedding cake topped with tuxedoed giraffe marzipan figures. They reminisced about speeches by Mr. Snow, Speedy, and Grandad, who spoke about true love returning and acknowledged absent loved ones, including Flora and Molly’s mother, Maggie.

Summoned to assist the DJ, Juan stepped away as Baxley Brown approached Molly with a pale blue envelope. He said he and Steve had an early meeting about a new show on long-lost art and asked her to open the envelope that night. Inside was a card and a $500,000 check with a note apologizing for his family’s impact and offering the gift with no strings. Molly concluded it likely came from the museum sale and told Juan they could now buy their apartment. She sent Juan to secure the check in Mr. Snow’s safe.

As “Unforgettable” played and couples danced, Molly, briefly alone, envisioned Flora sitting beside her with a favorite teacup, blessing the day and affirming that love is the greatest gift. The chapter closed on Molly’s sense of wonder and fulfillment.
