An anxious Caroline, not aware that Julia intercepted his message, waits for Richard’s response but isn’t prepared for his “”Oh, why is it so difficult to say three words – I got married!”” Devastated, Caroline calls Del in the middle of the night and he rushes over – still handcuffed to his date Kristin, and must be released by an amused Annie with one of her collection of keys. Caroline impulsively throws a reception to honor the happy couple, at which she gets drunk, but things turn serious when Julia’s wealthy father’s chauffeur arrives and summons her to talk – and for the first time in her life Julia turns down her father’s money and announces she will stay married to the man she loves.
