[edit] Plot

[edit] Part 1

Janet is upset because she cannot have the wedding at the church but Jack convinces her to have it at the apartment.
Jack thinks that Vicky wants a job far away (due to her being misrepresented by her father) and so he encourages her to take it. She does not really care about the job and thinks Jack does not love her; they break up.
Vicky interrupts Janet's wedding to tell Jack she still loves him and they realize they had a misunderstanding. They make up just before Janet come in to get them back together.
Janet continues her wedding and Jack gives her to Philip; Vicky catches the Bouquet.
Everyone heads downstairs for the party, while Jack proposes Vicky; she declines.

[edit] Part 2

Vicky explains that her parents' marriage has scared her and she does not want to wed. She offers to live together but Jack wants something more; they break up.
Janet reminds Jack that he loves Vicky and she is worth it so he decides to live with her.
One week later, after Janet's honeymoon, Jack, the girls, and Larry are packing. Jack explains to Mr. Furley that he was never gay and will be moving in with a girl above his restaurant, and Furley light-heartedly says "Of course you were, I just straightened you out!". Terri explains to Furley that she will be moving to Hawaii.
They all say goodbye and Janet goes off to live with her husband, Philip, Jack to live with Vicky, and Terri to move to Hawaii.

Jack and Vicky go to their new apartment. They have have a toast and Vicky suggests they go to bed. Jack is very nervous because Vicky is so special to him; she admits she is nervous as well. They start to kiss and Vicky's father breaks into the room, announcing that he is their new landlord.
