Back at the inn, Henry tells Abby about J.D. informing him of one last surprise. Cal and Chloe missed the rehearsal because they went on a sailing trip. When they got to the Cannery, Nikki tells Cal that the local couple got engaged when a male local found a diamond ring in the sand. Cal realizes that it was the same ring that was lost on the first night. Abby discovers J.D. in her room. J.D. informed Abby that the last surprise was the roman candle hidden in the unity candle.

Back at the Cannery, Cal informs Chloe about the engagement ring. In the woods, J.D. showed Abby a body hung in a tree. J.D. cut the rope with a knife and released a lower half of the body.
