Olivia can't contain her excitement as she’s been planning her wedding since she was a little girl. She whips out an early wedding gift, but is hesitant to open it thinking it could be bad luck. Spencer opens the gift, which turns out to be a set of knives, dismissing the idea of it being unlucky. However, as he grabs his bag, he bumps into the mirror in the foyer and it breaks.
Later, as Olivia tries on her wedding dress Spencer enters and sees her standing in the mirror. He quickly turns his head, but of course, Olivia freaks out saying it's bad luck for a groom to see the bride in her dress before the wedding. He initially tries to act as if he didn't see anything, but then confesses to her looking gorgeous. Facing her, he reassures Olivia nothing will stop them from getting married. Olivia calm downs but decides to get another wedding dress.
Things go from bad to worse when a panicked Olivia tells Laura (Monét Mazur) she lost her engagement ring. Laura tries to calm her daughter down and they retrace her steps to the kitchen where Olivia was washing dishes earlier. Olivia wonders if the ring fell down the kitchen sink, prompting her to send off a 911 text to Jordan.
Big decisions for Jordan and Layla
Jordan cooks breakfast at the beach house for Layla when she shares the house they are interested in is still available and the owners just countered their offer. All the newlyweds have to do is sign the paperwork to purchase the property, but they both seem hesitant to do so. By the end of the episode, they wound up passing on the house noting it didn't feel like home.

The conversation pivots to Jordan's search for a job. He's had offers, but he's not accepted a position. He wonders if he made a mistake not going into the draft to play football in the NFL, but she reassures him he made the right choice after the concussion he received in his final college game. He jokes the second championship ring was worth it.
Jordan eventually winds up at South Crenshaw High School to talk to Preach (Kareem Grimes) about Spencer and Olivia's bachelor/bachelorette party. Preach reaffirms the party is rated PG, but he then asks why Jordan keeps dodging South Crenshaw's new head football coach. Coach Bobby (Gilbert Glenn Brown) offered Jordan the quarterback coaching position, but Jordan doesn't want to take it. Preach thinks he should reconsider.
Spencer later shows up at South Crenshaw having received a text from Coach Bobby. The football coach thanks Spencer for all the donations to the football program and wants to name the gym after Spencer, but the NFL star politely declines wanting to remain anonymous. Coach Bobby then asks Spencer for a favor. He wants Spencer to convince Jordan to take the coaching job.
Partying will get you all the answers
Jordan arrives at Layla's lounge with a problem. He's losing his voice, which he's opted not to tell Olivia so she doesn't have another reason to panic. Layla puts him on vocal rest but surmises he's losing his voice because he's stressed.
When the duo arrives at the Baker house, Jordan has Layla speak for him as he works under the kitchen sink trying to help Olivia find her engagement ring. When Spencer shows up, Olivia admits she can't find her ring, but he doesn’t make a big deal about it. Instead, he encourages them all to get ready for the bachelor/bachelorette party.
At their Las Vegas-themed bash, two magicians, Mike (Anthony LaVigne) and Megan (Nathalia Castellon), don't really liven up the party. That is until they do a card trick.
Mike has Olivia pick a card and put it back in the deck of cards. She goes to sit down and he tells Spencer to check his pocket. He pulls out a rolled-up card with the missing engagement ring wrapped around it. Spencer and Olivia are perplexed about how the trick produced her ring, and Megan says she found it in Spencer's pocket. Olivia realizes the ring must have fallen in Spencer's pocket earlier in the day when she was hugging him. With the ring found, the energy of the party picks up.
Spencer also uses the party to take Jordan to the side and talk about the coaching job. He thinks Jordan is fearful about taking the job given his dad's legacy at the school as a former player, coach and principal. Not to mention, the football field is named after Billy (Taye Diggs). Jordan doesn't say anything, but it's clear Spencer's hunch is right. Spencer concludes his pep talk by saying Billy would want Jordan to take the job.
More bad omens
It's the day before the wedding when Spencer gets a call from Dillon (Jalyn Hall), saying his flight has been cancelled due to bad weather on the East Coast, meaning Spencer won't have his best man at the rehearsal dinner. Spencer shares the news with Olivia lying next to him, and after checking her phone, she discovers her grandfather and grandmother are also unable to fly out because of the bad weather.
After receiving some advice from his mom, Spencer tries to get Olivia to put the notion of bad omens behind her by taking her to the hot tub at the beach house. He tries to recreate the moment they first developed their connection years ago. Although they don't get into the water because there's too much chlorine in the hot tub, Olivia somehow feels better thinking her use of sage worked and spared them from getting in the water.
Unfortunately, by the end of the episode as the happy couple part ways, Spencer gets a call from their wedding planner. Their wedding venue has been ruined, but no details are given as to how.
