The story so far
Everything you need before watchingUnder a wedding canopy, Ramon and Joe offer to build a tabernacle of love in a few hours. Shane feels crowded out by her mother's gazebo. Joe says Sharon has imagined this day her whole life and only wants to belong. Then they find Fred: a firefighter's stuffed mascot, not a missing man. Shane thinks Oliver cares more about returning a toy than getting married. Watch how the hunt and an adoption talk steal the rehearsal.
