Gwen welcomed Clarice (in for a short visit from Detroit), but Clarice revealed Burt wouldn't be able to attend the wedding as best man since he was often sent out of town on work, and that he may even be up for a big promotion that would take him overseas. John remarked on Michael's abrupt attitude with Marianne, and urged him to see if Vince and Charlie need legal advice about their new business venture. Willis was disagreeable when Gwen wanted to tell Vince and Angie about their wedding plans. At the Fix-It shop, Mike ran into Joey (training to be an electrician by working there), who asked about Eileen, whom he'd met when she brought something in to be fixed. Jim and Clarice exchanged worried glances after she let it slip to Angie about the wedding. Dino had second thoughts as Douglas hung his painting for sale, then made Iris up her price when she bought some of his work as an apology. Iris made Elena keep it secret that she planned to buy Rachel's new work. Marianne was embarrassed when Rick opined he'd let her get away too easy, then she assured Greg he had no reason for jealousy. Angie cried to Rose about the wedding, so Rose later distracted Vince from Angie.

Iris: "I don't want you to think of me as some kind of virago."
Dino: "My dear lady, I seldom think of you at all."

JULY 19, 1978 (EP. #3558)
To discourage Marianne's wedding plans, Greg said Joan wasn't available to be her bridesmaid. Greg murmured to Pat's photo after encouraging Marianne to make up with her. Susan didn't let on she had pocketed it when Liz fretted that Dan had gotten rid of Susan's photo from his office. After Ada phoned Rachel, Clarice came by and was puzzled by Ada's reluctance to visit Charlie at the new store. Feeling Pat's obsession over Greg was evidence of a recurrence of her emotional instability, Marianne urged John to get Susan to treat Pat. Rachel arranged for Louise to pay Rose for the maternity clothes and Vince for remodeling the nursery. Elena told Rachel she had an anonymous buyer. Liz badgered Susan into warning Dan about Olive. Greg was interested when John confided in him about Pat's unhappy experience with a college classmate. Rachel found Blaine in the living room, but couldn't learn her name, though she realized she was the girl who had inquired of Louise about Jamie. Pat was glad when John's arrival made Liz leave, but refused to listen to his theories of Tom Baxter again.

JULY 20, 1978 (EP. #3559)
Angie (who was almost her bridesmaid during her wedding to Russ) congratulated Gwen, and half-heartedly agreed the two couples should have dinner. Sally ran out in tears after Joey sat her down and explained he can't concentrate on work with her underfoot all the time. Rose was surprised when Joey hinted he was interested in a girl. Angie went upstairs so Liz could implore Jim to caution Dan against Olive. Mac agreed to be Willis's best man. Vince and Charlie installed partitions at the Hobson/Frame shop and showroom. Vince was thrilled at Gwen's news. Dennis warned Eileen that her parents might disapprove of him as well since they'd disapproved of Mike's parents being divorced. A concerned Dan paid a house call on a listless Olive, then bustled past Liz, who remained behind to ring the bell repeatedly, but Olive just stared balefully at her through the glass panels beside the door. Alice encouraged Dan to stay for supper after he came to complain to Susan about Liz. Vince and Gwen were more enthusiastic about the dinner party than Angie and Willis. Angie avoided Vince's eye when Willis made a big show of slipping an engagement ring on Gwen's finger.

JULY 21, 1978 (EP. #3560)
Dennis had no answer when Rachel wondered why Jamie was ignoring her letters and who the mystery girl was. Dennis told Iris that Eileen said her parents won't object to her divorces. Greg was annoyed that Marianne felt their future looked rosy. Pat admitted to Susan she may have led Greg on since she was flattered by his attention, and that it might do her good to talk to a stranger about her troubles. Liz offered her decorating services to Charlie, then escorted Sally home when she showed up at the shop. Dino and Sharon told Blaine that Dennis wasn't at work yet, then Rachel arrived and pounced on her letter to Jamie that spilled out of Blaine's purse. Iris dropped by the Simpson household to warn Nora that a dissolute Dennis was just trifling with Eileen. Dennis admitted to Rachel that Jamie had been interested in the foreman's daughter. Marianne arrived to find Pat with Greg, who later lied Pat had begged him to be with her. Mac didn't jump to Rachel's conclusion that Blaine was scouting out Jamie's background. They made plans to fly to Wyoming as Blaine sat in her airplane seat murmuring to herself.

JULY 24, 1978 (EP. #3561)
Rachel was upset when Mac insisted on postponing their trip so Dr. Spencer can give her a check-up. At the bunkhouse at the W/L Ranch in Saddle Spring, Wyoming, Mitch prevented Buzz from warning Jamie that Fred was protective of his daughter. Blaine was pleased when Jamie was thrilled at her return. Jim advised Angie not to pay attention when Liz insisted she get Joey to stop encouraging Sally. Gwen told Willis that her mother couldn't make it to the wedding. Rachel told Ada about the little schemer from Wyoming. Dino told Elena that Sharon left to tend her sick mother, then Mac told her that Rachel has to delay her new piece. Alice turned down Liz's idea to send Sally to camp as Sally had resented always being sent away by her parents. Elena agreed to attend the wedding after Gwen apologized for being unreasonable about her friendship with Russ. Mac tried to curb Rachel's impatience as Blaine and Jamie headed off to find a quiet spot to be together.

Marianne told Pat not to waste time singing Rick's praises to her as he was already involved with Kate Donovan. Eileen insisted to Nora that Iris had been lying. Vivien was sad Louise's training still hasn't made her acceptable to Iris, then Dennis arrived to continue mending fences. Vince told Charlie he feels the need to live alone with Angie, then Clarice told him she doesn't feel she and Cory can join Burt in Japan, where he was just assigned to head the firm's office there. Pat asked Rick to offer to play doubles with Marianne and Greg. Eileen told Dennis of Iris's visit to her mother. Dennis advised Mac that Fred tried to keep Blaine in line since she always sets her sights on rich men. Rose approved of Vince's honeymoon plans, but Angie insisted Jim couldn't manage without her. Greg jumped at the chance when Rick asked Marianne to play tennis with him and Pat. Brian informed Mac that a German publishing combine was trying to buy out his European associates. Brian refused to help her when Dennis railed at Iris for maligning him to Nora.

JULY 26, 1978 (EP. #3563)
Mac broke it to Rachel that they'll have to postpone their trip since he might be needed in Paris. Iris became huffy when Brian disbelieved she'd never lied to Nora. Ada told Clarice her marriage won't survive if she and Burt try for a long-distance relationship. Greg pushed Marianne (happily spending the day cleaning his apartment) into getting John on their side. John encouraged Susan to get to know Greg personally. Rachel feared to Ada that Jamie would be hurt as she had once hurt people. Larry was upset to find his sister Blaine in Jamie's arms. Blaine told Larry that while he was in Montana, she lied to Fred that she was going to visit Rita Connelly back East. Larry agreed to help her land Jamie when she revealed how rich his step-father is. Marianne informed John that Rick wasn't interested in Pat. Brian said he's decided to move back in after Iris cried that Mac sent her to Europe so he could be a man about town. Rachel insisted on accompanying Mac and Brooks to the airport.

Liz suggested Brian as best man after Gwen and Willis learned Mac would be out of town for their wedding. Alice agreed, so Sally phoned to invite Dan for lunch. Rose vowed to Vince she'd get Jim's permission to take Angie away. Sally wondered if Joey was sick when he groaned after she phoned him at the shop. Joey agreed to come to Sally's party since Eileen was invited. Olive speculated Susan didn't love Dan when Susan was annoyed to find them together in Dan's office. Angie was upset to come downstairs to find Rose asking Jim to give Angie some time off. Brian agreed to stand up for Willis and offered to have the reception at Iris's new suite. Alice asked Liz to help her get Sally over Joey. Clarice told Gwen that Burt will fly in from time to time to see her. Angie backed down when Vince wondered why she was so upset. Dan told Olive he sympathized with her difficult life after reading her case history in Cal Zimmerman's files. Dan had to turn down Alice's invite to dinner after asking Olive to Tall Boys.

Dan: "You might say hello to Olive."
Susan: [GRIMLY] "Hello to Olive." [SHE STARTS OUT AGAIN]
Dan: "I apologize for her, Olive."
Susan: [COMING BACK] "No one has to apologize for being rude to Olive."

JULY 28, 1978 (EP. #3565)
Louise phoned Ada for help after she and Brooks failed to talk Rachel out of flying to Wyoming alone. Dino told Elena he would be bearding the lioness in her den by visiting Iris. Iris gleaned that something was up as Vivien phoned Louise for help managing the household account. Dino found it very exciting when Vivien said Iris couldn't see him. Ada shuttled Iris out to the terrace, then shoved her out the foyer when Rachel came home. Louise was relieved when Ada offered to accompany Rachel. Larry warned Mitch to keep his nose out of Blaine's business or he'd be riding some other range. Vince gave Nancy a kiss after Rose agreed to Ada's request to look after her. Iris was intrigued to learn Sharon was away. Iris relented and agreed to host the reception after Brian suggested Rachel can take over if she declines. Blaine slipped Rachel's letter to him under the truck seat after Jamie slipped out to pick her some flowers. Rachel and Ada left for the airport.

Notes: The Cory "branch of the firm" was rewritten as "associates."

JULY 31, 1978 (EP. #3566)
The waitress who brought breakfast to Ada and Rachel in their motel room was mum on how well she knew Blaine. Blaine's tears encouraged Jamie to ask her to come to Bay City with him. Mitch warned Blaine that Fred could get fired if the owner hears about her and Jamie. Gwen and Willis were surprised at the new, mellow Iris who came by to discuss the reception. Mitch went to get Jamie when Ada arrived. Ada and Jamie realized their letters to each other never arrived. Iris coaxed Liz into agreeing to co-host with her. Clarice didn't want to be in the same room with Iris when Liz told Gwen she was now a co-hostess. Iris came by the Perrini household to meet Rose and ask her to persuade Vince and Angie to attend the wedding. Jamie left when Rachel began harping on Blaine.

AUGUST 1, 1978 (EP. #3567)
Angie reluctantly agreed when Vince wanted to attend the reception. Susan admitted to Alice that she'd been devastated when her beloved brother Bill was killed in the sailing accident. Sally agreed to go to dinner with Liz. Charlie found Clarice vacuuming the apartment since she and Cory will be moving back in as Burt accepted the job transfer. Rick introduced Pat to Kate Donovan, an English instructor at Bay State. Pat fumed when Greg flirted with Kate in front of Marianne. Alice smiled encouragingly at Dan, but Susan informed him she was independent now and didn't want to return to living in his shadow. Angie watched as Vince and Joey fed Nancy and spoke of Angie having kids. At Tall Boys, Sally and Liz became closer as they discussed Bill. Liz became upset when Dan walked in with Olive.

Alice: "You were very close to him."
Susan: "Sure, he was my older brother-- You remember what that was like when we were growing up."
Alice: "Pat and I used to tease you about following your brother around." (Originally written, "... about caring so much for your brother.")
Susan: "Yeah, I know..." [SHE TURNS AWAY]
...
Susan: "There, I finally said it."
Alice: "Said what?"
Susan: "That I loved Bill too much, perhaps?"

Kate: (Introduction Line) "Hello, Rick."

Sally: "Tell me about Bill."
Liz: "Oh, Bill. Well, he was called William the same as his father--"
Sally: "Your husband was Bill, too?"
Liz: "We called him Will, so we wouldn't get them mixed up."
Sally: "I see."
Liz: "Will died long ago." [SHE STOPS AND STARES INTO SPACE]
Sally: "Before Bill died?"
Liz: "Yes. I've been a widow for a long time now."
Sally: "You never wanted to get married again?"
Liz: "Oh, yes, but it never worked out."
Sally: "Maybe it will yet."
Liz: "I don't hope for that anymore."

AUGUST 2, 1978 (EP. #3568)
Rachel vowed to Ada she'd tell Jamie about the letter in Blaine's purse. Blaine made excuses after Larry found Jamie's letters hidden in his truck. Ismene told Louise she misses the Corys. Since Rachel kept her trip a secret from Mac, Louise and Brooks worried when Iris pressed them on her whereabouts. Brian tried to keep Willis from climbing the walls. Clarice helped Gwen put on her mother's wedding gown. Angie hesitated briefly before leaving the house with Vince. Larry met Ada and Rachel and smiled tolerantly as he explained why Jamie was unavailable, then handed over Jamie's letters, saying they'd been misplaced. Iris, Elena, Charlie, Liz, Dennis, Vince, and Angie watched as Gwen joined Willis at the altar. Angie closed her eyes involuntarily, then opened them and sat up straight when the minister asked if anyone knew why they should not be married. At Iris's, Charlie broke it to Willis that Vince and Angie left during the ceremony, then everyone congratulated Willis and Gwen. Rose distracted Vince with Nancy after Angie explained she'd just been overcome seeing them getting married in a church. Larry cautioned Blaine that Rachel was skeptical about the letters.

Minister: "Wilt thou, Willis, have this woman to be thy wedded wife?..." (ETCETERA)
Willis: "I will."
Minister: "Wilt thou, Gwendolen, have this Man to be thy wedded husband..." (ETCETERA)
Gwen: "I will." [ANGIE TURNS AND HURRIES BLINDLY OUT. VINCE HESITATES, THEN FOLLOWS HER, AS LIZ TURNS AND WATCHES]

[SHE SMILES AT HIM AND THEY GO DOWN THE AISLE, WITH BRIAN AND CLARICE FOLLOWING THEM. IRIS LOOKS UP AND SMILES BRIGHTLY AT BRIAN, WHO WINKS AT HER. CLARICE STOPS TO KISS Charlie, AS LIZ WIPES TEARS AWAY]
Iris: [TURNING TO LIZ] "Oh, Liz, you're crying."
Liz: "I know it's silly, but I can't help it."
Iris: "Pull yourself together so you can help me at the reception." [SHE TAKES LIZ'S ARM AND LEADS HER OUT, AS DENNIS AND ELENA SMILE AT EACH OTHER, THEN FOLLOW THEM, WITH Charlie COMING UP BEHIND. COMMERCIAL]

Iris: "You said that this is your first child."
Mac: "Did I say that?"

Mac: "I promised your mother--" [HE STOPS]
Iris: "Go on, please."
Mac: "Oh, Iris, I'm so exhausted from that flight from Paris and then from New York, I wasn't thinking. Your mother couldn't have children... I mean my wife couldn't have children, so we adopted you." [IRIS SHAKES HER HEAD IN MUTE DENIAL. MAC GOES TO HER] "You were three weeks old, so it was like having our own baby."
Iris: "I'm not your child."

Iris: [SHOUTING] "I'm not your child?"

Her parents died years ago, and her sister lives rights outside of Louisville. She and Agnes, no longer friends as they were in their youth, both married as soon as they finished school and are both widows now. Jim agreed to let Marianne move in with him.

Angie hurried out when Clarice tried to talk to her about Vince. Pat convinced a skeptical Greg that she persuaded Mac to hire him because she felt guilty about asking John to fire him.
