Complete story — includes the ending

Christine is in a relatively good place about Richard and New Christine's wedding. At the church, she keeps referring to herself as a cautionary tale, as Matthew expresses his new-found love for New Christine's sister, Amy, and Barb seems to be connecting with another wedding guest (guest star James Lesure ). However, when she sees Papa Jeff (New Christine's father), she realizes she still has feelings for him and decides to pursue it, making out with him in the rectory. There's a moment where Christine, Barb and Matthew are over-the-moon with excitement as they realize they're all "in love". Things quickly fall apart as Matthew learns Amy's just interested in a wedding hookup, Barb tells her story to her new beau only to learn he's an INS officer who arrests her and Christine learns that Papa Jeff is engaged to a very young woman (guest star Debra Azar ). Richard steps in to make sure Christine is okay which makes New Christine extremely angry. As the wedding processional begins, Richard is left at the altar. Scott Bakula guest stars as Jeff, Old Christine's ex-boyfriend and New Christine's father.
